THE UNIVERSITYOF RICHMOND
Statement of Purpose
The University of Richmond is an independent, privately-endowed institution of higher education that provides a comprehensive academic program for men and women. It offers the intimacy of a small university and the diverse educational opportunities that derive from undergraduate degree programs in the liberal arts and sciences business and leadership studies , as well a~ graduat~ and professional programs in law , business , and selected areas of the arts and sciences.
The University also provides a variety of credit and continuing education programs as well as cultural events to the larger community. Historically related to the Baptist General Association of Virginia, the University affirms its commitment to serve individuals of all faiths and persuasions.
The educational objectives of the University are:
- to cultivate in students the interest, capacity, and skills necessary for independent intellectual inquiry and life-long le arning;
- to convey to students a representative portion of that body of knowledge that has acc umul ated and endured through the history of world cultures;
- to encourage and aid students in the development of basic beliefs, values, and attitudes, including those of cooperation and tolerance;
- 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 achieve these objectives, the University is committed to:
6 • The University of Richmond
- an educational environment conduciv e to the development of the whole person -int e llectua lly , socia lly, spir ituall y , physically , and morally ;
- an academic setting that guarantees an d encourages freedom of thought , expression, and association;
- an undergraduate curricu lum that requires mastery of essentia l intellectual tools, awareness of the diversity of human cultura l experiences , extensive knowledge of at least one area of study , and opportunit ies for int erdisciplinary and integrative inquiry ;
- a faculty dedicated to excellent teachin g and dialogue with students, an activ e engagement in scholarship, scientific inquiry , and artistic creativity;
- a diverse, largely full-time and residential student body that participates in a broad range of University activities including opportunities for research, leadership, and the development of civic responsibility;
- the essential resources for learning, such as libraries, laboratories , studios , information and communications technology, and media resources;
- opportunities for internships, socia l comm itm ent and public serv ice, an d other domestic and international learning experiences ;
- a program of varied social, spirit ual, an d physical activities that provide occasion s for growth, fun , and fellowship;
- an administration and staff that preserv e and enhance the Un iversity 's env ironment and resources, and that represen t the institution to the broader community it serves .
Organization and Accreditation
Five academic schools and two residential colleges are incorporated to form the University of Richmond with authority and responsibility vested legally in the Board of Trustees and the President of the University. The several colleges and schools award no degrees individually , but all degrees for work done in any one of them are conferred by the University of Richmond .
The University enrolls approximately 2 ,900 full-time undergraduates , 93% of whom live on campus; some 500 full-time law and graduate students; and 1,300 parttime students, largely from Richmond and the surrounding community .
The University of Richmond is fully accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (1866 Southern Lane , Decatur , GA 30033-4097: Telephone 404679-4501) to award associate, baccalaureate , master , and juris doctor degrees. The University is also certified by the Virginia State Board of Education to offer teacher Iicensure programs. Various departments and divisions have more specialized accreditation. Included in this category are the music program , accredited by the National Association of Schools 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 and History
The campus consists of some fifty major buildings , of impressive Co llegiate Gothic architectural style, set amid 350 acres of lawns, lake , and woodlands. Richmond is in a setting of beauty and harmony suggesting an ab le future as a seminary , later becoming a continuation of the deep roots of its past. Indeed , Richmond 's history began almost two centuries ago with Richmond College, founded in 1830 by Virginia Bap-
tists as a college of liberal arts and sciences for men. Around this nucleus were established The T.C. Williams School of Law (1870); Westhampton College, a co llege of liberal arts and sciences for women (1914); the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, for advanced study in the liberal arts and sciences (1921); The E. Claiborne Robins School of Business, for undergraduate and graduate study in business (1949); University College, for evening , summer, and continuing education (1962), now called the School of Continuing Studies; and the Jepson School of Leadership Studies, the first school of leadership studies in the United States (1989). 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 genera l education through intimate schools and colleges joined into a substantial whole.
Information Services - Library and Computing Resources
In 1997, the University Libraries and University Computing were combined under one umbrella, Information Services. The two areas work in tandem to provide the University community with access to a wide variety of information, maximizing the use of technology.
Library Resources
The University libraries are the center of intellectual activities outside the classroom. They are composed of the Central Library, Business Information Center, and Media Resource Center in Boatwright Memorial Library; the Science Library in the Gottwald Science Center, and the Music Library in the
Modlin Center for the Arts. The Law Library in The T.C. Williams School of Law is administered separately.
Boatwright Memorial Library, facing Westhampton Lake and in the center of campus , is the central library containing over 450 ,000 volumes; nearly 1,800 social sciences , humanities, fine arts , and business periodicals; microform collections ; and numerous electronic databases. The University of Richmond has been a designated depository library for U.S. government documents since 1900; Boatwright Library contains over 300 ,000 items in print , microfiche, and in electronic formats, including publications from Congress , the Department of State, and the Census Bureau.
The Galvin Rare Book Room contains nearly 25,000 rare books, first editions , maps, photographs, and manuscripts. Boatwright Library seats up to 800 students and has individual and group study rooms.
An integral part of the library system is the Business Information Center of The E Claiborne Robins School of Business, located on the second floor of Boatwright Library. The Center provides reference services to the campus and to the Richmond business community , and contains an extensive reference collection and a number of electronic databases.
The Billikopf Media Resource Center , located on the second and third floors of Boatwright Library, provides audiovisual materials, equipment, and production services to the campus community. The MRC contains collections of films and videos , spoken art audiocassettes, recorded books, and a variety of media equipment. Many international programs are received from satellite transmission and the campus cable system is utilized for instruction and academic assignments . The facilities of the MRC include the Adams Auditorium, classrooms, seminar rooms, and the Curriculum Materials Center located on the third floor of Boatwright Library.
The Music Library holds over 10,000 volumes of printed music, books and journals
8 • The University of Richmond
and nearly 10,000 musical sound recordings on LP, CD, and audiocassette.
The Science Library has a co llect ion of approximately 80,000 vo lumes and subscribes to over 900 journals and sever al electronic databases.
The libraries provide individual an d group instruction on the use of various library and information resources, includin g the Internet and other e lectronic database s. A computer classroom is located in Boatwright Library for both group instruction and individual student use . The onlin e catalog provides access to the collections of all the libraries on campus. The librarie s belong to several local , state, regional, an d national consortia and can obtain material s not held locally. Collections in various Richmond area libraries also are available fo r research and consultation , including thos e of Virginia Commonwealth University , th e Medical College of Virginia, the Library of Virginia and Archives , Union Theologic al Seminary, Randolph-Macon College, an d the Richmond public libraries.
The Virginia Baptist Historical Society 's library contains the finest collection of early Baptist materials in the South . Housed in a separate wing of Boatwright Memoria l Library, the Society 's facility is designated as a memorial to the Virginia Baptists wh o struggled to secure religious liberty in America . The library holdings include som e 18,000 books by and about Baptists , 5,000 manuscripts , and over 400 collections o f personal papers. The Society is the repos itory of Virginia Baptist church records an d over 3,100 original church record books are on deposit in the collection, making it on e of the largest archives of congregation al records of any denomination. The Socie ty also manages the University Archives , a large collection of books, papers, photo s, and memorabilia related to the history of the University of Richmond . Libraries are open to the entire campu s community.
The Lora Robins Gallery of Design fro m Nature, entered separately on the low e r
level of Boatwright Library, houses an extensive collection of gems and jewels, minerals, seashells and corals, fossils, and cultural artifacts.
Computing Facilities
The largest computing facility on campus is located in Jepson Hall. The ground floor of the building is dedicated to computer services. Jepson Hall houses three IBM-compatible teaching labs equipped with multimedia projection systems. When classes are not in session these rooms may be opened for general student use. There are two student computing labs open for general use, which are equipped with a combination of Macintosh , IBM-compatible, and Sun SPARCstations. University Computing also maintains a training lab that is used primarily for administrative and technology training sessions, and a Technology Learning Center that is largely a faculty resource.
Richmond provid es computer lab facilities for teaching, research , and learning at several other campus locations. IBM-compatible systems are the primary platform at the University, although there are Macintosh labs for departments who prefer them. There are computer labs located in many of the academic buildings dedicated to the special requirements of a particular department or discipline . The departments of Physics, Music, Psychology, Journalism, and Education have facilities that are populated primarily with Macintosh computers. The Gottwald Science Center, the departments of Modern La nguages and Literatures , Health and Sport Science, and Classical Studies have lab facilities that utilize IBM-compatible systems or a mixture of IBM and Macintosh. Math and Computer Science students have access to systems running Unix and Windows NT.
In the fall of 1997the Boatwright Memorial Library opened the new Boatwright Computer Classroom. This multimedia classroom has IBM-compatib le student sta-
tions. When it is not scheduled for classes, this classroom is open for general student use during normal hours of operation.
A major renovation of the building which houses The E. Claiborne Robins School of Business has begun, with completion expected in 1999.When completed the building will have ten multimedia classrooms with desktop access to network services, including e-mail and Internet access for all student stations. The building will also contain a new IBM-compatible computer lab.
In addition, the University is committed to an on-going initiative to equip classrooms around the campus with multimedia capability, including network and Internet access.
The Undergraduate Colleges
Though Richmond is composed of five general academic schools, as well as two residential colleges, this bulletin provides specific program infom1ation about only 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 a small number of master's degrees in six areas.
Students beginning their college careers are admitted to the School of Arts and Sciences. Those interested in earning degrees through The E. Claiborne Robins School of Business may declare their majors in the business school after their first year. Those students interested in leadership studies are required to be prepared in the liberal arts and sciences and be admitted to the Jepson School of Leadership Studies in the spring of their second year. Both of these schools are 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 450 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 degree of Bachelor of Science in Business Administration is offered with majors in accounting, business administration, and economics. The business administration major has several areas of emphasis which students may pursue. Once a student declares his or her major , The E. Claiborne Robins School of Business provides a number of internal activities in which that student may participate, including its own student government and honor council. The School of Business also has a chapter of Beta Gamma Sigma, a national honor society. Membership in Beta Gamma Sigma is the highest national recognition a student can receive in an undergraduate or master 's program accredited by the AACSB.
The School of Business faculty also provides instruction in the Master of Business Administration degree program of The Richard S. Reynolds Graduate School of The E. Claiborne Robins School of Business.
Jepson School of Leadership Studies
The Jepson School of Leadership Stud-
ies offers the Bachelor of Arts degree wit h a major in leadership studies . The major is broadly based but highly integrated wit h leadership as a unifying theme. In an e xceptional academic environment , th e Jepson School challenges students to reac h their potential and prepares them for futur e responsibilities through education for an d about leadership.
The 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 an d community can be experienced as students celebrate traditions and make their own impact.
Each student admitted to one of the thre e academic schools simultaneously become s a member of a residential college irrespective of whether the student lives in a residence hall or not. The organization of residential colleges by gender clearly affords a basis for sharing common experiences and life issues. Richmond College , the residential college for men , and Westhampton College , the residential college for women , offer their students unique opportunities to have meaningful bonding experiences in their communities and organizations of th e same gender. Such oppo1tunities enhanc e the identity formation and personal development of the participants to a greater extent than the more typical coeducationa l curricular and co-curricular experience.
The coordinate colleges offer a read y way to focus on the important theme of gender development in personal development. At the same time, the colleges ' educational concerns encompass other critical issues in human education and experience , such as the growing challenges of a global society , the meaning of democratic values ,
the importance of ethical and religious issues in human life, and the significance of academic excellence.
Each residential college has its own dean and staff, student government, activities and traditions; and the colleges work together where there are mutual concerns. The colleges seek ways to relate to the student as a person and not simply as a mind , a body, or a set of emotions, or interests. They develop for their students linkages between and among residential life, academic life, student government, and social life , integrating the facets of students' lives. The college deans exercise academic responsibilities on behalf of the academic schools and are able to bring University re-
sources from a variety of domains to bear on the life of individual students.
The gender-based residential colleges combine the benefits of a coeducational academic experience with the advantages of a single-gender experience. The greater number and variety of co-curricular activities provide more opportunities for student involvement. In particular, the University offers through its humanscaled 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 will 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. Students admitted must show evidence of high school graduation or exemplary completion on all five achievement tests of the general education development (G.E.D.) battery.
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 successfu l in this educational environment will be offered admission.
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 th e Student Health Center. Admission information for specific academic schoo ls is presented in the following pages.
Campus Visits
Prospective students are invited to visit the campus, participate in the admissio n conference, take a tour of the campus, an d confer with professors, coaches, or othe r persons in their fields of interest.

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 $100, and if on-campus housing is requested , a housing deposit of $500. 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 remi~tance may cover both amounts, the distinction between the two deposits remains quite clear. The Gen-
era! 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 General Fee deposit first. If only a single deposit amount is received by the stated deadline, regardless of any accompanying instructions, 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 Tuition Management Systems and Academic Management Services. These two 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 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.
Late Payment Fee
A late payment fee will be assessed on any unpaid balance. (Maximum late payment fee each semester is $60.) The late payment fee must be paid by:
- Each student who fails to make satisfactory arrangements for the first-semester fees by the close of business on the first day of fall classes.
- Each student who fails to make satisfactory arrangements for the second-semester fees by the close of business on the first day of spring classes.

Financial Aid
The financial aid program at the University of Richmond provides need-based grants, loans and work opportunities, and also awards merit scho larships. Applicants for financial aid must be enrolled or accepted for enrollment in a degree or certificate program at the University. The need-based aid programs are designed for those families who are unable to pay the full cost of a co llege 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 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 Uni -
versity of Richmond's Financial Aid Supplemental Application. Prospective students (including transfers) should mail the completed FAFSAby mid-February to ensure its receipt no later than the deadline date of February 25*. Generally, to be considered for need-based aid, an applicant must be a U.S. citizen, must be enrolled or accepted for enrollment on a full-time basis in a degree or certificate program, and must demonstrate financial need. 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 as outlined below.
(*NOTE:The deadline for financial aid applications for returning students is May 1.)
Students who are eligible for needbased aid are offered a package of funding that typically consists of a mix of grants, loans and work. While the total amount of 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 proportion of grant than loan in their aid package than will those students with records not as strong.
There are a number of merit scholarship programs, some of which pay full tuition, room and board. Students are usually either nominated for these scholarships or are selected from the pool of applicants for admission. Separate merit scholarship applications may be required.
The Virginia Tuition Assistance Grant is awarded to those students who are residents of Virginia. In 1997-98grants were awarded in the amount of $2,000. Applications are sent from the Admissions office to students who are accepted to the University.
Financial aid awards made for an academic year may be used for study abroad if the student enrolls at one of the universities with which the University of Richmond has a direct exchange agreement. Financial
aid for enrollment in non-exchange programs is limited to loans.
To receive assistance from any of th e need-based financial aid programs at th e University of Richmond, or from the Dire ct Unsubsidized Loan or Direct PLUS programs, students must maintain satisfacto ry academic progress towards the completio n of degree requirements. An evaluation of progress is made at the end of each ac ademic year , including an analysis of earne d credit hours and grade point average. Students not making satisfactory academ ic progress will be ineligible for further financial assistance until the deficit is made up . Waivers of these requirements may b e granted for special circumstances upon appeal to the Director of Financial Aid.
The standards of academic progress ou tlined here are solely for the purpose of evaluating eligibility to continue receivin g need-based financial aid . They do not replace or modify academic standards required for continued enrollment at the University of Richmond
Undergraduate students must meet th e following minimum standards:
Students earning a Bachelor of Music degree must earn 128 credits by the end of the tenth semester. These totals do not include sport science activities courses. Undergraduate students are not eligible for financial aid after ten semesters (includin g enrollment at schools other than the University of Richmond).
For further information about the var ious financial aid programs, contact the Financial Aid Office at (804) 289-8438 wit h questions about need-based aid, or call th e Office of Admission at (804) 289-8640 with questions about merit scholarships.
STUDENT LIFE
The University of Richmond , through the Division of Student Affairs, provides a variety of co-curricular and extracurricu lar programs and student-support services. These are designed to enrich the quality of the collegiate experience by creat ing an environment in which the student can grow intellectually, emotionally, physically, socially, and spiritually. The ultimate purpose of this env ironment is to help each student fulfill his or her potential.
The deans ' offices for Richmond College and Westhampton College, the University's residential colleges, are focal points in student life matters. For the Univers ity, the offices are cen ters for closely knit smaller commu nities within the whole.
On a more personal level , a student may find the dean or staff member serving as a counse lor, advisor , mentor , or co llaborator. If questions remain after reading th e Student Life section of this catalog , a dean 's office can usually provide a more complete explanation or indicate where more information may be found. In all cases , the deans ' offices are con tact points to provide assistance. Each student is encouraged to make full use of these excellent resources.
Student Life Services
Career Development Center
The Career Development Center (CDC), located on the ground level of Richmond Hall, provides comprehensive career services for undergraduate and graduate students.

Service learning integrates participation in community organizations with the curriculum. Brought to University in 1993 by Dr. Richard Couto of the Jepson School of Leaders hip Studies , service learning has become an integral part of the UR experience for many faculty members and students . The Career Development Center inherited this program in 1998, and is excited to work with faculty , community organizations , and students to provide even more opportunities for UR students to participate in service learning projects.
Students are encouraged to visit the Career Development Center in their first year, to meet with a counselor to plan career development strategies. An online introduction to the CDC is included in first year student orientation activities, and serves to in -
traduce new students to the vast resources available in the Center.
Chaplaincy

The Health Center staff includes board certified family practice physicians and registered nurses. Services include acute care for illness and injury , general medical care, gynecology , allergy shots, and immunizations.

For more information, see Corifidentiality at the end of this section or contact the Office of the University Registrar , located in Millhiser Gym.
Alcoholic Beverages and Other Drugs
The legal age for the consumption and possession of beverage alcohol is 21 in the Commonwealth of Virginia; the law governs all sites within the Commonwealth and all persons including temporary visitors from other places. The University supports the laws of the Commonwealth, and has policies to educate and regulate its campus constituencies regarding the consumption of alcohol. Similarly, there are statutes as well as University policies prohibiting the possession, distribution, sale, or use of illegal drugs or narcotics , including marijuana and hallucinogens. Moreover, each person is responsible for his or her destructive , obstructive, or otherwise inappropriate behavior whether under the influence of any substance or not. Persons in violation of the law are subject to prosecution by law enforcement agencies as well as disciplinary proceedings by the University.
Motorized Vehicles
Each automobile, motorcycle, motorbike , or other such motorized vehicle operated on the campus must be promptly registered with the University, and the campus automobile permit fee paid. Individuals operating vehicles must abide by the regulations governing registration, use, and parking. The University Police Department administers the registration and monitors compliance. Inquiries should be directed to that office.
Residence Life
On-campus housing for all undergraduate women is arranged by the Housing Coordinator of Westhampton College; arrangements for all undergraduate men are made by the Housing Coordinator of Richmond College Inquiries, reservations, or other housing-related correspondence should be addressed to the appropriate housing coordinator.
The University attempts to provide oncampus housing for all full-time students who desire to be accommodated. No student is required to live on campus, and some choose to reside off campus in pri-
vate homes or apartments. The University does not provide married student housing.
There are five residence halls for women on the Westhampton College campus. For men , the Richmond College campus has eight residence halls. In addition, townhouse apartments accommodate upper-level students from all undergraduate schools.
Residence hall rooms generally house two students, but there are a few rooms available which house one or three persons. (One-person rooms are not available for first-year students.) Most residence halls have lounges and laundry areas.
General supervision of the residence halls is provided by professional staff who are assisted by specially trained upperclass students. University policy is the framework under which all campus residences are governed.
Numerous educational and social programs are planned for residents by the residence life staffs of the colleges and the Residence Hall Association. These programs make the residence halls and apartments living/learning environments which promote a sense of community and personal growth.
Room reservation procedures are made available at appropriate times during the school year. In general, continuing students request rooms and roommates according to the procedures established by each college. Incoming students complete a questionnaire. Using expressed lifestyle, mutual interests, and other criteria, rooms and roommates are assigned.
General Conditions
The Unified Agreement sets forth the specific terms and conditions applicable to residence hall rentals, meal plans, telecom services, and data services. Each student approved for housing receives a copy of the Unified Agreement , which details the services provided to students, in conjunction with the room reservation procedures. Detailed information regarding residence life and housing is available in the college handbooks.
Activities
Because co-curricular activities are an important part of the campus experience , a broad range of events and opportunities to challenge student interests are provided . The University has opportunities for leadership and community service as well as for cultural , recreational , social , and spiritual interests. There are weekly events of bands, comedians , single artists , disc jockeys, and the Tucker-Boatwright Festival , which brings to campus outstanding figures in the literary and artistic world . Academic departments and programs sponsor many lectures , concerts , and plays. These activities combined with academic pursuits contribute to the formation of the well-rounded individual.
Organizations
There are approximately 200 recognized student organizations , groups , and clubs The list of organizations each year reflects changes in student interests.
Academically oriented groups and chapters of national honor societies comprise about a quarter of the student organizations. These organizations , such as Phi Beta Kappa for students in the arts and sciences and Beta Gamma Sigma for business students, recognize e x ceptional academic achievement. Other organizations provide opportunities in academic disciplines for study, research, or practice beyond the classroom. Each serves to unite students who have a common academic interest.
There are organizations which represent the University in the community. These include the student newspaper and other publications, theater productions, performing music ensembles, and the student-operated radio station.
Religious organizations are an important part of the University scene. They present a variety of opportunities for fellowship, study , and social service in denominational, nondenominational , and interdenominational settings.
The Greek social system comprises approximately 40% of the full-time undergra duate men and 50% of the full-time undergra duate women. There are presently eight organizations for men and eight for women ; all are nationally recognized. The men have their own lodges for social and recreational p urposes while the women use existing cam pus facilities. However , Greek system memb ers live among other students in the campus residence halls and eat in the central dining center. In addition to their social activities, th ese organizations have historically organized and supported a broad range of community service projects.
Special interest organizations are yet another way for a student to gather with o thers who hav e simila r interests. In this context an individual might want to learn or sharpen skills in , for example , skiing. If there is no club to meet the common interest of several students , there are procedur es to guide the formation of one.
Campus Recreation
Campus Recreation is dedicated to the concept of providing quality recreation al opportunities for the campus communi ty. Campus Recreation has six components: informal recreation ; aerobics and fitne ss; intramurals; outdoor adventure ; spec ial events ; and sport clubs.

Student Government
To as great an extent as possible , the Univ e rsity places th e governance of students in the hands of students. The residential coll e ges , and the schools of business and leadership studies each have their own elected student government association which responds to the needs and interests of its specific stud e nts. In addition , student representatives are chosen to sit and vote on certain faculty committe e s and committees of the Board of Trustees. Each college has its own honor council and its own judicial council composed entirely of students.
Food and Auxiliary Services
The main dining center at the University of Richmond is the spacious E. Bruce Heilman Dining Center. This well-
equipped building is located on a particularly attractive site overlooking Westhampton Lake. The main dining area accommodates 2,200 students; a lower level is used as a catering area for University functions and for the University Club. The Tyler Haynes Commons building houses The Pier restaurant , a fast food facility, and The Cellar , a late night gathering space.

ACADEMICOPPORTUNITIES AND SUPPORT
Academic Advising
Every new student is assigned an academic advisor who is either a faculty or staff member. The advisor serves as a resource for th e 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 plan an academic program and review achievement.
By the end of the second 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.
Consistent with the University's belief that responsibility for one 's actions reside with the individual, academic advisors are indeed resource persons. The final decisions and responsibility remain with the student.
Academic Support Centers:
Academic Skills Center
The Academic SkillsCenter, located in the administrative wing in Boatwright Library, provides academic skills support to all students (i.e. , und ergraduate, graduate , etc.).
Operating from a holistic vantage point , the Center incorporates counseling and study skills techniques which address the academic performance of students and their social adjustment to the University environment. The Center offers the Peer Academic Skills Tutoring (PAST)program staffed with tutors who are trained to simultaneously provide tutorial assistance in various subject areas and in study skills. The Academic Skills Center is open Monday through Friday.
Speech Center
Practice and preparation can make the difference between a satisfactory speech a?d a memorable one. Videotaping, review, and peer consultation are available at the Speech Center to assist students in the development of their oral presentations.
Faculty and staff rely on the Speech Cen ter as well to prepare for workshops and to tape small group discussions for classro om purposes. The staff of the Career Devel opment Center uses the Center 's facility to simulate emp loym ent interviews at st udents ' requests.
Faculty and trained undergraduate students conduct consultations at the Spe ech Center weekday afternoons and evenin gs and weekends by appointment. To rese rve a practice time , students may come by the Speech Center , lo cated on the first floor of the Webb Tower, adjacent to Booker Hall and Keller Road. The reservation board located in the foyer, lists available app~in tment times, as well as numbers to call for special appointm e nts. Individuals an d groups should reserve a practice time two days in advance. To make the most of this opportunity , students shou ld bring not es and a videotape for recording and revi ew .
Writing Center
The Writing Center offers assistance to students writing papers and reports as w ell as to those making applications to grad uate and professional schools and prepar ing resumes.Beginning about the third week of each semester, the Writing Center is op en on a regular basis and staffed with facu lty and student tutors. Students may cont act the Writing Center by telephone to m ake an appointment or drop by to talk with a tutor or sign up for an appointment at a later time. The Writing Center also offers typing instruction and specia l tutoring for international students. The Center is locat ed in the Boatwright Library's Administrati ve Wing, under the bell tower to the right of the library 's main entrance.
Will Program (Women Involv ed in living and Leaming)
The WILLProgram (Women Involved in Living and Learning), established in 1980,
is a selective four-year program for undergraduate women. WILL's mission is to help women realize their full potential individually and collectively by providing a supportive and challenging environment. WILL aims to increase the self-esteem , self-confidence , and self-awareness of women as well as an awareness and acceptance of women different from themselves. Towards this end , WILLpromotes critical thinking, intellectual curiosity , and active learning opportunities which empower women to be leaders during and beyond their university exp e rience .
To meet these goals, WILLstudents compl e te a minor in Women 's Studies, participate in an internship , attend and help plan programs (speakers , workshops , plays , musical performances , etc.) for the campus
community on topics related to the unique and diverse experiences of women, and participate in the organization of WILL.
Examples of courses WILLstudents have historically been required to take include "Introduction to Women 's Studies," "Introduction to Feminist Theories," a WILLinternship , a sophomore and senior WILL seminars , and women 's studies electives.
WILLseeks members who have demonstrated high academic achievement, leadership potential, and an interest in women's issues. Applications are accepted from firstyear women in October of each year, and thirty new members are selected in early November prior to spring registration. Subject to space availability, second year women may inquire about applications through October of their second year.
INTERNATIONALEDUCATION
In a world of wide-ranging and rapidly increasing contacts and interdepend e nce among nations, states , and cultures , a wellpr e pared student is one who is able to function knowledgeably in an international a nd cross-cultural environment. To give students an opportunity to be well prep a red , University of Richmond faculty stre ss cultural, political , economic , environm e ntal , and social aspects of their disciplines which are international and intercultural. The University of Richmond believes that the preparation of students for their roles as a ctive citizens and effective leaders of the next generation must include a strongly internationalized curriculum and international education opportunities on campus and abroad.
The Academic Programs sections following this chapter offer particulars about programs in the School of Arts and Sciences, The E. Claiborne Robins School of Business , and the Jepson School of Leadership Studies.
The academic program of the School of Arts and Sciences provides opportunities for the study of international issues
within academic fields which have long been associated with such issues , e.g. political science and foreign languages and literatures. In addition , as a result of focused efforts to internationalize the whole curriculum , there is also a large and growing number of courses in nearly all other departments , such as art , English , history, philosophy, religion and biology , which include international , often non-Western components. Students interested in the international field can major in one of the academic disciplines and in International Studies, an interdisciplinary and crosscultural program administered by the Associate Provost for International Education. (See pages 101-108) The curricula of The E. Claiborne Robins School of Business and the Jepson School of Leadership Studies include a number of courses which are international in scope.
The E. Claiborne Robins School of Business offers a concentration in International Business.
For a list of courses with significant international content , contact the Office of International Education.
International education is an important aspect of the total University of Richmond experience. The Office of International Education is charged with coordinating its elements, including the administration of the International Studies major , advising students on study abroad opportunities and procedures , and on the Fulbright program , providing advising and services for international students, and sponsoring a wide range of international programs and visitors. The office, which serves all schools of the University, is located in the Administrative Wing of the Boatwright Library, and welcomes visits from students and prospec- tive students, interested in international issues a nd in contributing to the internationalization of the University .
Campus Activities
The University of Richmond provides a wide range of on-campus activities and events in support of international educa- tion. Courses, lectures, and seminars are offered by resident and visiting faculty and international scholars, writers, artists, and critics. The annual International Film Series, exhibits and concerts bring to the campus arts from around the world. Students are also able to participate in such organiza- tions as the Asian Students Association, Multicultural Student Union, International Club, Model United Nations, and Amnesty International. Familiarization with other countries and cultures is enhanced on campus through contacts with a growing number of international students who are fully integrated into the life of the University. For example, in addition to their active partici- pation in classes and student life, advanced undergraduate and some graduate students from various countries regularly conduct drill sessions in their native languages. In- formal chats sponsored by the International Houses help students develop a command of the languages they study.
Cross-cultural education and dialogue at Richmond take place in residence halls as well as in classes. While the great majority of international students live in general dor-
mitories, there are two Internatio nal Houses that are home to U. S. and inte rnational students. Programs planned and executed by students living in the Inte rnational Houses are open to the whole University community.
The rapidly growing international srudent population has recently included rep- resentatives from Argentina, Australia, the Baham as, Bangladesh, Belgium , Bra zil, Bulgaria , China, Colombia , Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, France, Germa ny, Ghana, Great Britain , Haiti , Hong Kong, Iceland, India , Iran , Jamaica , Jap an, Kazakhstan , Kenya, Korea , Mexico, Pakistan , Panama , Peru , Romania , Rus sia, Singapore, Spain, Taiwan , Tanzan ia, Trinidad, Ukraine, Uruguay, Uzbekist an, and other countries.
Study Abroad
Direct experience of cultures is the best way to learn to communicate acro ss barriers of language, custom , politics , and geography. An encounter with differ en t values and educational systems, wh en supported by good will and seri ous study, broadens students' understand ing of the complexities of our rapidly chan g- ing world. Students who study abro ad find their experiences, both in and out of the classroom , to be stimulating and rewarding. They return with a better und erstanding not only of other cultures, but also of their own, not only of oth er people , but also of themselves.
It is important to stress that stu dy abroad is possible and encouraged for all students, regardless of the major and th eir financial situation While some think that proficiency in a foreign language is n ecessary for study abroad , it is, in fact, p ossible to study in English , in such countri es as Australia, New Zealand , the UK, South Africa , Ghana , Kenya, Jamaica and ot hers, and even in non-English speaki ng countries where English is widely us ed and courses in English are offered. It is also possible to combine intensive stu dy of a foreign language with some cour ses
taught in English. In special cases, a student may, for example, begin or continue the study of a foreign language while taking courses in various disciplines (history, socio logy, philosophy, etc ) in English .
When deciding when and for how long to study abroad, a variety of alternatives sho uld be considered . There are opportunities to study for a year, a semester, or a summer, and in the second, third , or even the fourth year. Summer study after the first year, and semester study during the third yea r are among the best choices.
The subjects students pursue abroad range from art to business to zoology. The countr ies they choose range from Great Britain to South Africa and Egypt, from Chile to Italy and Australia. Living arrangements include dormitories with local students, home-stays and independent apa1tments. While study abroad has long been recognized as a significant component of a liberal arts education, today students majoring in the sciences and in business are actively part icipating in study abroad in large and grow ing numbers.
Early planning is crucial to any successful study abroad experience. The selection of an appropriate program must take into acco unt the student's academic and persona l needs , the country and language in w hi c h he or she wishes to study, and a number of other factors. Students are encouraged to begin exploring the opportunities for foreign study as early as in the first year at the University, and to plan their Unive rsity of Richmond courses accordingly.
There are a number of options in study ab road programs. During the academic year there are opportunities to study through the University's direct exchanges with universities in the following countries:
Argentina (Universidad Blas Pascal , Cordoba and Universidad Torcuato Di Tella, Buenos Aires);
Australia (Curtin University of Technology);
Denmark (Denmark's International Study Program and the Copenhagen Business School);
France (Universites de Paris III, V, VI, VIII, X, XI, XII, XIII, Ecole Normale Superieure , Eco le des Hautes Etudes Politiques et Sociales, Ecoles des Haut es Etudes Internationales , Ecole Superieure d e Journalisme) ;
Great Britain (Universities of Bath , Bristol , Queen Mary and Westfield College, University of London , East Anglia, Lancaster , Warwick , and Edinburgh) ;
Germany (U niversities of MUnster and Konstanz);
Ghana (University op Ghana at Legon) ;
Italy (Bocconi University Milan);
Mexico (Instituto Technologico y de Estudios Superiores de Occidente);
Spain (Universidad de Deusto, San Sebastian).
The University also has a fall semester program at Nizhny Novgorod Linguistics University in Russia. Additional exchange relations are currently being developed in Belgium , Ireland, Italy, Israel , Sweden, Turkey, and other countries. The University's membership in the Associated Colleges of the South offers a number of additional options With prior approval, students may also enroll in and transfer credits from programs administered by other institutions.
During the summer , the University of Richmond sponsors a number of study abroad programs directed by Richmond faculty. There are programs in Australia, Costa Rica , Ecuador, European Community, France, Gennany, Greece , Japan, London , Russia , Spain , and Zimbabwe. And new ones are always being created.
The Office of International Education advises students on study abroad programs and procedures, and coordinates University-sponsored study abroad programs. Students shou ld begin planning for foreign study by visiting the Office of International Education and by attending a weekly information session.
After an appropriate study abroad program has been selected , each student is expected to follow procedures administered
by the Office of International Education Maintenance of status as a current student and credit transfer for study abroad can be assured only if the program and specific courses have been pre-approved. Please see pages 39-40 for additional administrative information. For specific information on financial aid for study abroad see the Office of Financial Aid. Financial aid is fully transferable only to Univesity of Richmond academic semester and year programs.
The International Resource Center, located in the Office of International Education, contains information on study abroad programs, scholarships, graduate study abroad, teaching , working, travel and volunteering abroad.
International Student Advising
The Office of International Educatio n is the primary 'port of call ' for internati o nal students, scholars and visitors before and during their stay at the University. Issues related to student visas, health insura nce, taxes , housing , as well as academic and cultural concerns, are addressed by the staff in consultation with relevant departm ents and other administrative units of the University. In order to help international srudents and scholars to become integrate d in the University and the U.S. and to sh are their cultures with others, the office organizes orientation sessions for internati o nal students, as well as cultural and social activities throughout the year.
ACADEMICPROCEDURES
The University of Richmond has , for each academic program , procedures and degree requirements that must be satisfied before the degree can be granted . The student is responsible for knowing the specific requirements and planning appropriately to allow for the completion of these requirements The University provides , depending on the program , either or both academic advisors and administrative personnel to assist students with their plans. In any case, the final responsibility for following procedures and meeting degree requirements rests solely with the student.
The following sections describe academic policies , regulations , and procedures. If no indication of school is given, that section pertains universally to the School of Arts and Sciences, The E. Claiborne Robins School of Business and the Jepson School of Leadership S~dies. When a statement pertains to a particular school or schools, it is listed under the appropriate school heading.

If coursework is being transferred from more than one institution, an official transcript must be re- ceived from each institution.
Note: For applicability of transfer work to general education requirements, see Gen- eral Education Requirements, pages 50-53.
Registration Policies
Registration is limited to admitted, de-
gree-seeking students unless specific ap- proval 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 entit led 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 stud- ies - see Academic Dean.) Enro llments in either category are subject to special charges as specified in the chapte r entit led 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. In addition , a student who wishes to register for 18-19 hours must have the permission of his or her advisor.
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 the appropriate course instructor and academic advisor. Students will be required to pay the fee for change in class and will re ceive 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 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.
Auditing Courses
With the approval of the student 's acade mic 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 patt 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 University Registrar, the decision may not be reversed. An audited course cannot subse quently be taken for credit unless app roved by the appropriate dean .
Pass/Fail Option
School of Arts and Sciences
School of Leadership Studies (excluding Le adership Studies courses)
(Not available to business students.)
An Arts and Sciences or Leadership Studies student who has completed at le ast 61 semester hours of academic work may opt for one course per semester to be graded on a Pass / Fail basis. The course may only be used to count as total hours of credit toward a degree, and cannot be used to satisfy any general education requirement or any major or minor requirement. 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 studentopted Pass/Fail courses are acceptab le for degree credit.
Note : The restrictions stated above do not apply to courses authorized to be graded only as Pass / Fail.
The level of performance necessary to earn a Pass in a student-opted Pass / Fail course is D- or better. A Pass grade will be recorded as P on the permanent record . The hours will be added into hours earned toward graduation and will not affect the grade point average. A Fail grade will be recorded as F on the permanent record. The hours will be added into GPA hours and will affect the grade point average .
To opt for Pass/ Fail grading, 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 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, particular coursework may meet more than one requirement for graduation An example of a sanctioned repeat -for-credit is the subsequent registration for a course in which the content changes from term to term such as Special Topics or Independent Studies. Also, ce1tain courses in a major or program may have to be repeated if the grade earned the first time does not meet requirements; in such a case , the credit hours will be counted only once but both grades will be calculated in the cumulative grade point average.
Courses taken on an audit basis cannot be repeated for credit unless approved by the appropriate dean.
Except in clear situations, the Office of the University Registrar should be consulted before registration to learn if a proposed repeat is sanctioned for credit or if sanction is possible.
All courses taken at the University of Richmond become a part of the permanent 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, and drill sessions of the courses in which he or she is enrolled. However, the specific attendance policy in each course of study is to be determined by the instructor of the course. 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 per- cent of the meetings of a course to be eli- gible to receive credit in the course.

Most classes have examinations at the close of each term, according to a pub- lished schedule.
Each student is responsible for taking fi- nal examinations as scheduled. No rescheduling , excuse for absence, and/or provision 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 th e 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. If unusual circumstances appear to hav e existed which could have affected th e evaluation, the student should first brin g the matter to the attention of the instructo r (if available). If that informal inquiry is impossible , or if its results are disputed , th e student may next bring the matter to the attention of the department chair and the instructor, jointly. In the event of continued dispute, the student may formally petition the dean of the student's school who in consultation with department faculty, ~a y present the matter to the academic council for a decision.
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 been passed . The foregoing grades may be accompanied by a p lus ( +)
o r minus (-) to indicate a relative position w ithin the grade category. P shows credit has been earned in a Pass / Fail course, an d Z shows that a course was audited. S and U indicate satisfactory or unsatisfactory performance in non-academic co urses or in a Pass / No-credit course . W ind icates that the student withdrew from a co urse with a passing average. Marks indica ting failure and included as such in the grade point average are F, M (withdrew from a course with a failing average), and V(failure because of excessive abse nces). The X indicates that the grade is not available from the instructor.
/ a nd Y mean that coursework has not bee n completed by the end of the term. The /, which provisionally counts as a failing grade, is given when the reasons for incom pl e te 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 d ay of the term in which the I was give n. 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 incomplete work are deemed justifiable by the instructor, or at the end of the first term of a co urse that continues into a succeeding term. There is no deadline for completion of th e work unless the instructor so specifies. In the case of an/ or Y, once the makeup grade is received , it appears to the right of the incomplete grade on the permanent recor d. In all cases, it is the student's respo nsibility to make arrangements for and prog ress to the completion of an incomple te course.
Credit and Grade Point Average
Th e University of Richmond uses the se mester hour value A semester hour is the value of one 50-minute class-hour of wo rk a week through a nominal 14-week se mester .
The grade point average is based on two factors:
GPA Hours - The accumulation of academic semester hours that have grades to which grade point values are assigned; and
Grade Points - Given for each semester hour 's grade according to this scale:
Calculation - The grade point average is calculated 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 grade report. Also shown on these reports is the accumulation of Earned Semester Hours. Earned hours are the academic semester hours in which the student has earned passing grades , plus semester hours credit, 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 . 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 University 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 else-
where. 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
School of Leadership Studies
While students are expected to get approval before taking work elsewhere, work taken without prior approval may be accepted subject to transfer credit policies.
School of Business
The E. Claiborne Robins School of Business will approve for transfer credit those courses that meet the following criteria: The course is completed at an institution accredited by the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB);the student receives a final course grade of at least C as verified by an official transcript; the approval of the appropriate department chair and dean is obtained. Approvals should be obtained prior to taking the coursework elsewhere. Courses completed at non-accredited institutions are generally not accepted for credit. Grades for courses taken at another institution are not included in the calculation of the University's grade point average.
Study Abroad
Students wishing to study abroad should contact the Office of International Education for _informationabout the range of opporturuties and the procedures which they must follow.The procedures ensure that academic work abroad will qualify for transfer credits to the University of Richmond, and that the student will continue to be enrolled at the University while abroad. Further information about study abroad is presented in the chapter on International Education.
Acceptance of Credit
Summer Study Abroad Programs
Only programs with a University of Richmond director or faculty, which also are administered by the University, are in-
duded 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 completed on campus. Currently there are 11 such University Study Abroad programs held in: Australia , Costa Rica, Ecuador, the European Union, France, Germany , Greece , Japan, Spain, Russia, and Zimbabwe. All of the programs above are 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(2.0) coursework to be counted toward the major is subject to approval by the academic department concerned. o credit will be awarded for work taken elsewhere until an acceptably complete official transcript in English is received by the University Registrar direcdy from the institution providing the instruction or the approved agency coordinating the instruction. Such credit is recorded as academic hours passed and is not computed in the student 's grade point average.
NOTE: To determine whether a program is sponsored by the University of Richmond, a student should contact the Office of the University Registrar for programs in the United States , or the Office of International Education for programs abroad.
Academic Standing
Students are expected to achieve in the classroom and make steady progress toward completion of degree requirements Relevant designations are specified in th e following sections.
Class Standings of Students
The class standing is established at first matriculation and is evaluated after grade posting for each subsequent term of enrollment. The standing is based on semester hours passed including , if applicable, ac-
ceptabl e transf e r and / or advanced standing cre dit, but e x cluding physi c al activity co urses. The standings are:
Year 1
Year 2

School
of
Arts and Sciences
The student must complete at least 12 ea rn ed hours for the semester, with not mo re than one grade of C (2.0) and no grade below C (2.0), and a t least the follow ing term grade point average in relatio n to the term GPA hours: 3 .70 for 8 to less th a n 15 GPA hours, or 3.50 for 15 or more GPA hours .
Schoo l of Business
The student must complete at least 12 earne d hours for the semester, with not more than one grade of C (2.0) and no grade below C (2.0), and at least the followi n g te rm grade point average in relation to the term GPA hours: 3.60 for 12 to less than 15 GPA hours , or 3.20 for 15 or more GPA hours.

Intermediate Honors
Intermediate Honors are confen-ed upon third-year students who, during their first two years at the University of Richmond , have completed at least 60 semester hours of academic work , 57 of which must have been completed at the University, and have ea rned an average of at least three grade points for every hour attempted.
Academic Deficiencies
Academic deficiencies are of two types: academic warning and academic probation
Academic Warning
At any time when a student's overall grade point average falls below 2.00, the student automatically will be on academic warning. A student on academic warning should take active steps to improve acad e mic performance.
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 significa nt deterioration in performance that extraordina1y action is deemed appropriate by the dean of the student's school or college , th a t student m ay be placed on probation, limited in credit hours of enrollment, or recommended for suspension from the school or college regardless of grade point ave rage. In addition, such student may be restricted from pa1ticipation in certain University activities.
Appeals of rulings associated with the administration of these regulations shall be directed to the relevant academic council.
School of Arts and Sciences School of Business
A student who falls below the following minimum accumulations of semester hours and grade point average (GPA) will be placed automatically on academic probation :
Year 1 (0 - 23.9 hour s passed) 1.50 GPA
Year 2 (24 -53.9 hours passed ) 1.70 GPA
Year 3 (54 - 83.9 hours passed ) 1.85 GPA
Year 4 (84 o r more hours pass ed) 2.00 GPA
If at the end of the second consecutive semester* of enrollment after being placed on academic probation , the student fails to
*Work tak e n during an e ntire summer, provided 12 semester hours or more are attempted, shall count as a reg ular semester.
meet the minimum standard based on hours then passed, the student shall be allowed to emoll for no more than 7 semester hours of academic work per regular semester or during the entire summer. Such a student has a maximum of 14 semester hours of work attempted in which to achieve the minimum requirement. Otherwise he or she will be suspended from the School of Arts and Sciences or School of Business.
The above provisions notwithstanding, the dean of the student's college, in circumstances which seem to warrant such action, may allow the student to continue as a fulltime student on probation for a single ad- ditional semester.
School of Leadership Studies
A student whose leadership studies cumulative grade point average (GPA) falls below 2.30 will be placed automatically on academic probation. While on academic probation a student's participation in activities such as athletics, debating, dramatic or musical organizations, or their representa- tion of the University in any public capac- ity, may be restricted.
Followingsubsquent semesters in which a student fails to reach the minimum GPA required for the major, the record of such student will be reviewed to determine whether further sanctions, which may in- clude dismissal from the School of Leader- ship Studies, should be applied.
Readmission to the University
Students who have withdrawn from the University for whatever reason, other than participating in an approved study abroad or exchange program, and wish to return must make their request for readmission in writing to the Dean of the appropriate academic school. Students seeking readmission to the School of Arts and Sciences should contact the Dean of Richmond College (men) or Dean of Westhampton College (women). Students seeking readmission to The E. Claiborne
Robins School of Business or the Jepson School of Leadership Studies should contact the Associate Dean of that school.

Current major , minor , program and degree re quirements may be obtained from the University Registrar ; the Deans ' Offices of the Schools of Atts and Sciences, Business, and Leadership Studies , and Richmond and Westhampton Colleges; or from the departme nt chair of the appropriate department.
In the event the University adopts new ge n e ral education and / or major, minor, and program requirements, efforts will be ma de to accommodate hardships during the transition period.
Declaration of Majors/Minors
All undergraduate degrees at the University of Richmond require satisfactory co mpletion of one major. The Bachelor of Arts in Leadership Studies also requires completion of a minor or a leadership concentration. Multiple majors and / or minors also may be pursued , and upon completion will be recorded on the permanent acadmic record. With the exception of leadership studies, students have the option to declare a major as early as the end of the first year. They are encouraged to declare during the second year, and are expected to declare by the end of the second year. For procedures on how to declare majors and / or minors both in the home school and between schools, contact the Office of the University Registrar.

Graduate Study
University of Richmond students who are near completion of the undergradu-
ate degree may study in a mast e r 's degree program in the University's Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. To qualify for this option , a student must have already passed at least 100 semester hours of coursework before beginning his or her seventh semester of study, have an overall grade point average of at least 3.30 , and be admitted to the Graduate School as a regular student by its standard procedures. Individual departments may set a higher minimum grade point average (both overall and in the major) to qualify for this option and /o r restrict the courses that may be taken under it. Until students have completed requirements for the bachelor's degree , they may take no more than three courses for graduate credit and not more than two in any given semester. Although a student who is accepted to this option will be enrolled in undergraduate and graduate co urs es simu ltaneously , the undergraduate and graduate transcripts will be kept separately. Courses taken for graduate cred it will not apply to the bachelor's degree. The student will register as an undergraduate and pay the undergraduate tuition rate until the bachelor 's degree is completed.
The Second Undergraduate Degree
A student may earn more than one undergraduate degree either consecut ively or concurrently in relation to anot h er und ergraduate degree provided the degrees are not alike, e.g., not two B.A.s or two B.S.s.
The following policies app ly to an y student seeking a second undergraduat e degree.
The Consecutive Bachelor's Degree
A consecutive bachelor's degree is on e which is begun after a first degree has bee n conferred or after the degree requir ements 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 shall apply to the dean of the school concerned. (Arts and Sciences students should contact the dean of the appropriate residential college.) The dean shall make a decision for a dmission based on the quality of prior work, the favorable recommendation of the intended major department, and space availability. Once admitted, the student's grade point average sha ll be based on ly on the work taken at the University of Richmond while pursuing the second degree. The student 's dean may limit or deny furth e r 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 consecut ive bachelor 's degre e, a student must achieve at least a 2.00 grade point average on a minimum of 30 additional semester hours of reside nt academic coursework selected from the catalog of courses Courses in which a student-opted Pass is earned shall not co unt in the 30 hours. In addition , gene ral 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 cre dit for the purpose of meeting these re quirements; however, at least half of th e major must be taken at the University o f Richmond, and a ll other degree requirements must be met as outlined on pa ge 42 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 concurrent ly 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 co llege.) A student in the School of Business or the School of Leadership Studies who desires a second undergraduate degree in the arts and sc iences must receive the approval of the dean of the appropriate residential co lleg e as well as the sanction of the dean of their home school. Even when approved for the second degree, such student remains a member of their home school 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 must complete 152 semester hours of academic work (158 if one of the degrees is the Bachelor of Music) with at least 90 of the hours taken at the Univers ity of Richmond. In addition, the general education requirements appropriate to each degree being sought, as well as requirements for the majors, must be completed satisfactorily. At tl1e proper time, two degree applications must be submitted simultaneously to the University Registrar.
Latin honors, if earned, will be shown on both degrees.
A liberal arts 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 responsibilityof 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, wh ere 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 Skillsrequirements;
- to convey the basic knowledge and habits needed to live a healthy life through two 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 elective courses , and their various co-cu~ricular and extra-curricular learning expenences, University of Richmond student~ are e~-':ected to develop their ability to thmk cnt1cally and independently, to learn to tolerate ambiguity where true am-
biguity exists, and to grow in their respect for-and their ability to deal with-the kinds of multiplicity that characterize our complex world. The common goal of the University's faculty is the education of independent, responsible, and contributing members of society.
I. First-Year Core Course (CORE)
This two-semester course explores some of the fundamental issues of human experience through close analysis of relevant texts drawn from a number of cultures, disciplines, and historical periods. In this course all first-year students , together with a significant portion of the faculty, share a common syllabus, and thus engage in a common conversation. A central goal of the course is to incorporate students into a community of learners from the very start of their collegiate careers. It is also hoped that the intensive reading , focused discussions, and frequen t writing that typify the course will develop the fundamental skills required for subsequent coursework and life. Sometimes associated with the course are co-curricula r events such as lectures and musical performances. This course is to be taken and passed by all students, without exception , in their first year of matriculation. It earn s three academic credits per semester.
II. Communication Skills
Ideas and experiences must be communicated if they are to be shared, scrutinized , and transformed into effectiv e knowledge. Toward these ends, the faculty expects each student to develop skills in expository writing, oral communication, and foreign language.
Expository Writing (COMJ)
As regards expository writing, or basi c composition, the faculty assumes that all
e ntering students have a certain level of technical competence, but scholarly work at the collegiate level demands that a stu dent 's writing be not only technically correct but also purposeful and effective Fo r this reason, the basic course that satisfies this requirement-English 103-is esse ntially a course in critical thinking, in w hich writing skills are developed as a tool for thought and communication. Although so me students are exempted from this course on the basis of certain test scores, the majority of incoming students still satisfy this requirement through taking and pa ssing English 103. In addition to this course , the faculty has begun to implement a w riting program that will help to enhance the expository writing skills of many University students beyond the minimum level set by this requirement.
Or al Communication
Oral communication is another skill that is essential for education and life. Students should be able to speak so that their ideas are expressed logically , lucidly , and effectively , and they should be able to provide relevant evidence whenever appropriate. In addition, students should be able to analyze the spoken discourse of others. The gene ral education curriculum at the University of Richmond assists students in these reg a rds by immediately immersing them into frequent and intensive oral exchanges an d pr e sentations in the First-Year Core Course , and by offering relevant courses , such as Spe ech 101, through the Department of Speech Communication. In addition, many faculty and departments have bee n incr e asing the oral communication components in their courses and seminars , with the goal of enhancing this fundamental skill. Their efforts are assisted by the University's Speech Center. With the exception of the Core Course, however, there is no single required course that students mus t take to fulfill this portion of their general education .
Fo reign 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 contemporary guise, that he or she may encounter 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 two-credit 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.
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 fields-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 singu_lar 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 fieldsof-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 credi ts in each of two different sciences.
Historical Studies (FSHT)
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 cultures, 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 of study, the faculty wants students to establish a foundation for creating their own understanding of past societies and cultures, based upon the critical use of sources and evaluation of evidence.
Literary Studies (FSLT)
Litera1ystudies are concerned with verbal texts that are read as structures of meaning. The central activity of literary studies is
textual interpretation, or the ana lysis of how such structures of meaning are constructed by writers and readers. In requiring a course specially designed and approved to satisfy this requirement, the facu lty wants students to learn that textual interpretation can b guided by diverse and often competing theories and methodologies , and can be supported by various collateral areas of investigation, including the study of the proces s by which texts are created and received, th e historical and cultural contexts in which the y are created and received, and their relationships to each other and to other fields of experience and analysis
Natural Science (FSNB, FSNC, FSNP)
Natural science is concerned with th e physical universe , from subatomic to cosmic levels of organization. It covers everything from inanimate forces to living systems. Through the generation and testin g of hypotheses regarding repeatable, me asurable, and verifiable phenomena, natur al scientific inquiry is one of our major mean s of understanding the world in which we live. For this reason and because of th e generally low state of science literacy , which is reflected in the reluctance of man y students to take elective courses in th e natural sciences, the faculty has decided to require Richmond students to take 4-credi t laboratory-based co urses in any two of th e three areas of natural science represente d at the University, namely biology, chemistry, and physics. Besides adding to students' knowedge of the world and the ir understanding of the methods and challenges of doing science, the faculty hope s that these courses will enhance their appreciation of the beauty of science.
SocialAnalysis (FSSA)
Social analysis is the systematic study of individual and social behavior. This field of study involves a self-conscious examination of what are generally taken-for-granted assumptions regarding the nature of social life . It draws upon a variety of approaches, both theoretical and empirical, in order to disce rn
patterns of meaning in behavior. In establishing soc ia l analysis 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 courses to familiarize students with a variety of theories and methods of analysis.
Symbolic Reasoning (FSSR)
Symbolic reasoning emphasizes symbolic prob lem solving, a process that includes trans lating problems into terms that can be trea ted within a symbolic system, understanding the rules by which info1mation 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 requ iring 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 probl e ms into appropriate symbolic tem1Sand to foster their confidence and ab ilityto pursue such problems to their valid solution.
Vis ual and Performing Arts (FSVP)
The study of the visual and performing arts involves scrutiny of the forms, traditions , meanings, and historical contexts of wo rks in various visual and performance med ia . It also involves exploration of issues pe rtaining to the methods , processes, and pe rsonal 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 perha ps eve n experiencing the creation and interp reta tion of works of art, students will deve lop a heightened understanding of art as both an a1tistic a nd intellectual achievement. Supplementing approaches typical in other fields of study, sucn courses should demo nstrate 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 co mponent 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, sometimes 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 a re aware of the many complex and serious ways in which these issues touch their lives and the lives of others.

Special Program Opportunities
Creative Writing Program
Designed for students who would like to combine the creative and scholarly aspects of literature, this program includes course offerings in creative writing and related disciplines (see listings in English under Curricula), presentations by eminent writers, workshop privileges here and at other universities, and publication outlets . The program assists students to become writers of poetry, fiction, or drama, or to continue their studies on the graduate level. Further information is available from the Department of English office in Ryland Hall.
Honors Program
Outstanding students with intellectual initiativeand the desire to pursue academic achievement beyond standard coursework have the opportunity to broaden and deepen knowledge in selected major fields through the Honors Program. Departmental honors coordinators invite promising qualified majors to apply, but an interested student may contact his or her major department or the Faculty Committee on the Honors Program to indicate interest and obtain further information. To qualify, a student should have at least a 3.30 cumulative grade point average , 65 or more semester hours completed , and , excluding course work primarily for first-year students, 12 or more semester hours completed with distinction in the major field. Successful completion of an Honors Program is shown on the student's permanent academic record and on the diploma.
Interdisciplinary Programs:
Self-DesignedInterdisciplinary Studies Major
Under the general supervision of two faculty advisors and the Coordinator of Interdisciplinary Studies, a self-designed interdisciplinary major is offered. The interdisciplinary major provides a student the
opportunity to propose and pursue, with faculty supervision, a unique program of study leading to either a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Interdisciplinary Studies. A senior thesis, which is the culmination of the major and for which the student receives three credit hours, is required.
Applications and further information are available from the Coordinator of Interdisciplinary Studies or from the Dean of the School of Arts and Sciences whose office is in Boatwright Library. Applications are to be submitted to the Coordinator of Interdisciplinary Studies by April 1 of the second year. At least a 3.00 cumulative grade point average is recommended.
Interdisciplinary Majors
In addition to the self-designed interdisciplinary major, the School of Arts and Sciences offers support for interdiscipliary study through six interdisciplinary programs that offer majors within the Bachelor of Arts degree. They are American Studies, Classical Civilization, Criminal Justice, International Studies, Urban Studies, and Women's Studies. Further information is available from the Program Coordinators listed under each program.
International Studies Major
International Studies is a cross-cultural , interdisciplinary major comprising eight areas of concentration, of which the student selects one. The concentrations are Africa, Asia, International Economics, Latin America, Modern Europe, World Politics and Diplomacy, and Russian and Eastern European Studies. Further information is available from the Office of International Education in the administrative wing of Boatwright Library.
Interdisciplinary Concentrations
Finally, the School of Arts and Sciences is in the process of establishing new curricular configurations known as "interdisciplinary concentrations within disciplinary
majors." Instead of constituting stand-alone majors or minors , these concentrations will be tied closely with selected majors, thus allowing an integrated learning experience tha t offers depth in a traditional discipline combined with breadth in a typical subject matter, e.g. Biochemistry. Currently the following interdisciplinary concentrations hav e been approved: Biochemistry (for Chem istry majors) , Medieval and Renaissance Studies (for English majors) , and Dramatic Studies (for English or Theatre majors). Updated information about the appro val or non-approval of such concentrations should be requested from the Dean of the School of Arts and Sciences whose o ffice is in the administrative wing in Boatwr ight Library.
Int ernship Program
Inte rnships provide students with supervised opportunities to understand by direct experie nce how skills and theories learned in the classroom are applied in business, industry, community agencies, and governme nt. Each internship must include an acade mic base, such as an appropriate reading list or other resources, which demonstrates or stresses th e interrelatedness of the aca demic background with the selected wo rkp lace .
Interns hips are usually limited to junior or se nior students who must have the prior approva l of the department concerned. No mo re than 12 semester hours of internship courses of whatever kind nor more than six semester hours of Internship 388 taken in the same department may be counted towa rd a School of Arts and Sciences degree. Studen t teaching and Theatre Arts 330-341, Practicum, are not included in this policy. Further information is available from the chair or coordinator of the appropriate depa rtme nt or program.
Marine Studies
The University of Richmond Department of Biology and the Duke University Marine
Laboratory (DUML)offer a program supplement in marine science. Instruction is given by DUMLand may be accepted as transfer credit in the student's University of Richmond program. Further information about the program can be obtained from the University of Richmond Department of Biology.
Master's Degree, Early Beginning
University of Richmond students who are near completion of the undergraduate degree may begin study in a Master's Degree program in the University's Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. Please see page 44 for further details.
Master of Teaching Degree
The Department of Education offers a fifth year of study leading to a Master of Teaching degree. Students apply to the program at the end of their third year and take some graduate courses during their fourth year. See page 44 under Graduate Study for transcript and tuition information . For more detailed information on program requirements interested students should talk with faculfy in the Department of Education and consult a graduate catalog which can be obtained in the Graduate School Office located in the Boatwright Administrative Wing of the library.
Minor Option
A minor is a secondary academic specialization which may be sought in addition to the required academic major. A minor consists of at least 15 semester hours and may include 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 major. Upon graduation, each completed minor will be recorded on the student's permanent 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, and presenting 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 ; in any 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 co-author 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.
Undergraduate Work Taken After Graduation
Students who have graduated from an accredited college or university and who wish to take undergraduate courses in the liberal arts and sciences during the academic year, but not for degree purposes , should apply to the Office of Admission s for acceptance as an unclassified student. Permission to take such classes may be granted on a space-available basis and with due regard for prior achievements. Application for such undergraduate work to be taken in the summer will be received by th e Summer School office. Students who are required to take undergraduate work in preparation for a University of Richmond Arts and Sciences graduate program, o r who take undergraduate and graduat e work simultaneous ly, shall register through the Arts and Sciences Graduate Schoo l.
Additional majors may be completed after graduation and recorded subject to the following: The student must have a Bachelor of Arts degree or a Bache lor o f Science degree from the University o f Richmond; all work required to comp let e the additional major subsequent to graduation must be taken at the University; th e academic department concerned mu st certify that the major is comp lete; and th e student must complete the work withi n two years of graduaton unless addition al time is granted by the major departmen t concerned , and the department notifie s the University Registrar.
CURRICUlA
Sch ool of Arts and Sciences
This chapter presents departmental majors and minors , and the courses, with the ir descriptions, offered by each department. In a course description, where the course numbers for a two-semester course are separa ted by a hyphen, either half of the course may be taken independently for cred it, and in any order unless a prereq uisite is stated. However, certain twosemes ter courses have a note in the description stating that both semesters of the course must be taken to receive credit towa rd graduation for either. Note : Undergraduate courses at the University of Richmo nd long were numbered in the range 0-399, with 300 level being the most adva nced. Beginning with the 1990 fall term , un dergraduate cou rse numbers may exten d through the 400 level; however , not a ll 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.

Pass / fail grading may be designated by a department for any or all e nrollme nts. May be repeated; however , no more than six se m es te r hours in the same department may be cou nted toward the total number of hours required for a d eg ree. Prerequisite: Permission of department conce rned. 1-6 sem. hrs. Note: No more than 12 semes te r hours of internship of any kind may count toward the total number of hours required for a degree. Student Teaching and Theatre Arts Practica a re not included in this policy.

In the new Modlin Center for the Arts students work in an environment whe~e they can develop their intellectua l and creative abilities to the fullest potential. In addition to a rigorous and stimulating curriculum, students also patticipate in the activities of the Marsh Art Gallery. The gallery presents exhibitions of both historical and contempora1y a1twith related lectures, workshops, and symposia, w ith visiting artists, critics, and art historians. A study abroad program allows students to study art and art history in approved programs under the direction of the Office of International Education. Because majors are required to develop a senior project, it is recommended that prospective majors shou ld consult with the department early to allow adequate time for planning.

For further information and advice on standards and curriculum, see the Honors Coordinator.
Interdisciplinary Concentration in Medieval and Renaissance Studies for English Majors

The Psychology Major
The Department of Psychology offers a rigorous , hierarchically organized curriculum which combines the highest expectations of achievement with a nurturing environment rich in opportunities for personal engagement and intellectual stimulation Our central mission is to provide an academic setting for students to become skilled, adaptable, and highly capable of working collaboratively; to excel in the best graduate and professional schools or in the most competitive entry-level employment opportunities; and to lead productive lives characterized by a lifetime of learning , leadership, and service. We seek to offer our students a distinctive experience of engagement-a love of learning and involvement with the community-which is brought together by a unique interaction among the quality of our student experience and the dedication of our faculty to excellence in teaching and scholarship.
Our faculty share in the vision that education is as much of an activity as it is a body of knowledge As professional educators, we embrace pedagogical strategies that place special emphasis on the scientific process , on intellectual challenge and complexity , on engagement in primary source readings, on interactive and collaborative learning , on critical and analytical thinking , on making full use of current technologies , on professional ethics, on effective oral and written expression, on recognizing multicultural perspectives, on appreciating psychology's unique position within the liberal arts, on involvement in the intellectual and cultural community, and on respect for individua l differences. These emphases of our curriculum reflect our goals and aspirations as educators; they represent directions for both stimulating and challenging the intellectual curiosity of our students; moreover, they pervade all levels of our undergraduate curriculum , from our introductory course to our most advanced courses.

Interdisciplinary Concentration in Dramatic Studies for English or Theatre Majors
The Interdisciplinary Concentration in Dramatic Studies, approachable by English and by Theatre majors, structures the curriculum bridging the fields. Drama is both text and performance; both conceptions are valuable to the dramatist or to the student of drama. English classes analyze the structure and linguistic achievement of playscripts, surveying the canon of great and important plays through the centuries. Theatre classes emphasize the production principles and techniques required to transfer the playwright ' s conception from the page onto the stage. Majors who complete all requirements for this course of study will be granted a B.A. in English with an Interdisciplina1y Concentration in Dramatic Studies or a B.A. in Theatre with an Interdisciplinary Concentration in Dramatic Studies

tion to the student displaying academic achievement.
The student portfolio offers the following adv antages to students:
(1) Req uires students to plan their education al and career paths during early college years.

CURRICUIA
Where the course numbers for a two-semester course are separated by a hyphen , generally, either half of the course may be taken independently for credit and in any order u nless a prerequisite is stated. However, certain two -semester courses have a note in th e description stating that both semesters of the course must be taken to receive cre dit toward graduation for either.
Note: Undergraduate courses at the University o f Richmond long were numbered in the range 0-399, with 300-level being the most ad vanced. Beginning with the 1990 fall term, undergraduate course numbers may exte nd through the 400- level denoting sen ior level courses ; however , not all depar tm ents have renumbered their courses. Therefore, it should not necessarily be concluded that a department with 400-leve l courses has more advanced offerings than a department having only 300level courses as its highest.
