Introducing UC Riverside / 7
The University of California, Riverside is committed to equitable treatment of all students, faculty, and staff.
UCRs faculty, staff, and students are committed to creating an environment in which each person has the opportunity to grow and develop, and is recognized for his or her contribution. There are three objectives that our campus must strive toward to achieve these goals. First, we must ensure that we have an environment that nurtures the intellectual and personal growth of our students, faculty, and staff. Second, we must ensure that our campus sets an example of respect for all people. Third, we must ensure that our campus is a safe and welcoming environment for everyone. We take pride in the diversity of the campus community and in ourselves by using the campus environment as a place, committed to academic integ rity, where all members are encouraged to use their unique talents to enrich the daily life of the community in which they live, work, teach, and learn. Respect for differences and civil discourse must become the hallmark of how we live and work together to build our community of learners at UCR. We as members of the University of California, Riverside affirm our re spon sibility and commitment to creating and fostering a respectful, cooperative, professional and courteous campus environment. Implicit in this mutual respect is the right of each of us to live, study, teach, and work free from harassment or denigration on the basis of race/ethnicity, age, religious or political preference, gender, transgender, sexual orientation, na tion of origin, or physical abilities. Any violation of this right by verbal or written abuse, threats, harassment, intimidation, or violence against person or property will be considered a violation of the principles of community that are an integral part of the University of Californias focus, goals, and mission (and subject to sanction according to University policies and procedures). We recognize that we will all need to continually work together to make our campus community a place where reason and mutual respect among individuals and groups prevail in all forms of expression and interaction.

An undergraduate student in good standing, currently registered at UCR, may apply for intercampus visitor status at another UC campus for one term. Forms and instructions are available at the Office of the Registrar, 2249 Student Services Building.
Student Conduct
Disciplinary suspension or dismissal from a previously attended educational institution is considered in the admission decision.
Undergraduate Admission / 29
Units earned through: AP, IB, and/or A-Level examinations are not included in the limitation and do not put applicants at risk of being denied admission. Units earned at any UC campus (Extension, summer, cross/ current and regular academic year enrollment) are not included in the limitation but are added to the maximum transfer credit allowed and may put applicants at risk of being denied admission due to excessive units. Transcripts and Test Scores Undergraduate Admissions requires complete, accurate, and up-to-date information about a students academic program and work in progress in order to process and respond to the application in a timely manner. The transcript and other documents submitted as part of the application become the property of the university; they cannot be returned or forwarded in any form to another college or university. Transfer Applicants Applicants are notified if the university requires a preliminary transcript(s). Applicants must request a final transcript from each college they attended. A transcript from the last high school they attended may also be required. Attendance at any other school or college after an application has been filed is considered to be part of the students record and must be reported to Undergraduate Admissions.
Notification of Admission
Each application is considered individually; therefore, the length of time before notification may vary depending upon the circumstances of each applicant. Most fall quarter freshman applicants are notified of their status by March 31; most transfer applicants are notified by May 1. In some cases, complete transcripts of course work are required before a final decision can be made. Applicants should monitor the status of their application at My.UCR.edu. The Web site contains valuable information about admission procedures, course enrollment, housing, financial aid, and upcoming events. When offered admission by the university, students are asked to sign and return a Statement of Intent to Register (SIR) accompanied by a nonrefundable deposit of $100. This amount will be applied toward payment of university fees, provided the students register in the quarter to which they are admitted.
Concurrent Enrollment
Taking courses at another college or university, including UCR Extension, while in residence at UCR is called concurrent enrollment. See Finances and Registration for the policy regarding concurrent enrollment for continuing students.
Reapplication
Application for admission is for a specific term. If the student is not eligible for admission, or is admitted and does not register, the university requires a new application and an application fee if the student wants to be admitted to another term. The new application will be considered in light of the admission requirements in effect and the space available on campus at the time of application.
30 / Undergraduate Admission
International Baccalaureate
The university grants 8 quarter units credit for each International Baccalaureate (IB) higher level examination on which a student scores 5 or higher. Higher level examinations are considered honors courses. The university does not grant credit for subsidiary level examinations. Some higher level examinations may be considered equivalent to freshman level courses in the subject and may be used to satisfy general education or breadth requirements. The units granted for IB examinations are not
counted toward the maximum number of credits required for formal declaration of an undergraduate major or the maximum number of units one may accumulate prior to graduation from the university. Students who enter the university with IB credit do not have to declare a major earlier than other students nor are they required to graduate earlier.

Advanced Placement
The university grants credit for all College Board Advanced Placement Tests for which a student scores 3 or higher. The credit may be subject credit, graduation credit, or credit toward general education or breadth requirements, as determined by each college office. The units granted for AP tests are not counted toward the maximum number of credits required for formal declaration of an undergraduate major or the maximum number of units a student may accumulate prior to graduation from the university. Students who enter the university with AP credit do not have to declare a major earlier than other students, nor are they required to graduate earlier.
College courses taken prior to or after enrolling at the university may duplicate the content of AP examinations. In these cases, the university may not award credit for both the course and the AP exam. The university grants credit for Advanced Placement tests as described below.

Resident Nonresident
Residence Classification
Students pay nonresident supplemental tuition if they have not been living in California for more than one year immediately prior to the residence determination date for the term in which they propose to register at UCR. Along with the criterion physical presence, the other criteria are intent to become a California resident and financial independence. Information on these three criteria is provided at http://registrar.ucr.edu/Pages/Residency. aspx and below, under Residence for Tuition Purposes. Residence classification of new, readmitted, and continuing students is made for each term and at each campus of the UC. Classifications are based on evidence presented in and supporting each students Statement of Legal Residence. Students sign all Statement of Legal Residence forms under oath, and further information required may need to be provided under oath, by declaration or affidavit. The residence determination date is the day instruction begins at the last of the UC campuses to open for the quarter and, for schools on the semester system, the day instruction begins for the semester. Students classified as nonresidents retain that status until they apply for, and receive, a new classification. Students planning to file for residence status after their first year should talk with the residence affairs officer well before the appropriate residence determination date, preferably during their first few weeks in California. Students may apply for classification as California residents as soon as they meet all three criteria for residence and, if successful in changing their status, would not pay nonresident supplemental tuition for subsequent quarters if they continued to meet the criteria. Residence Determination All questions concerning residency are referred to the residence affairs officer in the Office of the Registrar. No other campus personnel are authorized to supply information regarding residence requirements for tuition purposes. Students wishing to appeal a final decision on residence classification by the residence affairs officer are assisted and referred to the appropriate member of the General Counsels Office.

Students who withdraw before the end of a quarter may be eligible to receive refunds for some fees. A withdrawal petition must be obtained from myforms.ucr.edu or from the Graduate Division. In accordance with federal regulations, refunds to financial aid recipients are first applied to repayment of aid disbursed. The effective date for determining a refund of fees is the date the student files an official notice of withdrawal with the university. It is presumed that no university services will be provided to the student after that date. Beginning the second day of instruction, the Student Services Fee, tuition, student-assessed fees, Professional Degree Supplemental Tuition, and nonresident supplemental tuition are refunded on a prorated basis. Refunds for health insurance vary. Consult the Campus Health Center, Veitch Student Center, (951) 827-5683. The Medical School Disability Insurance Fee is not refunded unless the student requests a prorated refund when withdrawing from UCR.

Employment
Federal Work-Study is awarded to students with demonstrated financial need. Work-study awards enable students to reduce the amount of loan indebtedness they may incur while attending the university. Various work opportunities are available through the UCR Career Center, online at www.careers.ucr.edu, in either on-campus or offcampus jobs at nonprofit and community services agencies.
Loans
Normally, one or more types of loans are included in each combination of aid offered to a student. Borrowers must be aware of their repayment obligations. Federal Direct Stafford Loans are available to both undergraduate and graduate students who are U.S. citizens or eligible noncitizens. The
Scholarships
Scholarship awards are based on a students academic achievements
Part-Time Study
Undergraduates Part-time study (less than 12 units) is available to undergraduate students who find it difficult to enroll full time because of health problems, family and home responsibilities, or occupational and financial need. Students undertaking an approved course load of 10 units or fewer in any quarter shall pay the full Student Services Fee, one-half tuition and one-half nonresident supplemental tuition (if applicable) for that quarter. Students considering part-time study should discuss their plans with the associate dean of their college, whose approval is required. Graduates In some programs, half-time study is possible for graduate students who for reasons of occupation (i.e., full-time employment), unusual family responsibilities, or health reasons are not able to attend full time. A half-time student may not enroll for more than 6 units at any level. Graduate students who are approved for this program receive a refund of one-half of the tuition, one-half of the nonresident supplemental tuition (if applicable), and one-half of the Professional Degree Supplemental Tuition (if applicable). For further details and an application, contact the Graduate Division.
Readmission
Undergraduate students who wish to return to UCR must file an application for readmission with their college Student Academic Affairs office at least six weeks prior to the quarter of proposed registration.

Incomplete Grades
The grade I (incomplete) is a provisional grade which denotes that a students work was of passing quality but incomplete for good cause. Units attempted are not charged for courses graded I. The grade of I may be replaced if the work is completed as specified by the instructor prior to the end of the following quarter. When a course graded I has not been successfully completed after one additional quarter or by the time the student is ready to graduate (whichever is less), it will be replaced by a grade of F or by NC (if the course were taken on an S/NC basis). The appropriate dean may extend the time for successful completion when he or she considers that circumstances warrant it, provided the request is received before the grade I is changed to F or NC.
In Progress Grades
For certain courses extending over more than one term, where, by consent of the Academic Senate, evaluation of the students performance may be deferred until the end of the final term, provisional grades of IP (in progress) are assigned in the intervening terms. Neither units nor grade points are assigned for IP grades. The provisional grades are replaced by the final grade if the student completes the full sequence. In the event that the full sequence is not completed, the grade IP is replaced by the grade I, and further changes in the students record are subject to regulations governing the grade I.
Workload Credit
Workload credit is given for UCR classes preparatory to regular university work. Workload credit does not carry units for graduation but does count as part of a students academic course load and enrollment status.
Repetition of Courses
Repetition of courses not authorized to be taken more than once for credit is subject to the following conditions: generally, a student may repeat only courses in which a grade of D, F, or NC was received. In some circumstances, students may repeat a C- to satisfy an academic requirement.
Change of Grade
All grades except I and IP become final when they are assigned. No term grade may be revised by reexamination. No change of grade may be made on the basis of reassessment of the quality of a students work. However, at the discretion of the instructor in charge of a course, reexamination and reassessment of work may be allowable under the terms of the Sanctioning Guidelines of the UCR Academic Integrity Policy. See Academic Integrity later in this section. An instructor may approve and report to the Registrar a correction of a recorded course grade at any time if clerical or procedural error has been made in assigning, transmitting, or recording the original grade.
Posthumous Awards
The University of California, Riverside seeks to extend sympathy and compassion to the families of students who pass away near the completion of their degrees and to recognize the academic achievement of students who would have fulfilled the requirements of the degree. These actions must also be balanced with attention to academic and institutional integrity. For more information on identifying and considering candidates for the award of posthumous undergraduate degree, please contact the Office of Student Affairs in the appropriate college.
Final Examinations
The instructor in charge of an undergraduate course shall be responsible for assigning the final grade in the course. The final grade shall reflect the students achievement in the course and shall be based upon adequate evaluation of that achievement. The instructors methods of evaluation must be clearly announced during the progress of the course. Evaluation methods must be of reasonable duration and difficulty and in accord with applicable departmental policies. The methods may include a final written examination, a term paper, a final oral examination, a take-home examination, or other evaluation device. If a final written examination is given, it shall not exceed three hours in duration and shall be given only at the time and place announced at classes.ucr.edu. No student shall be excused from assigned final examinations.
Backdating Units
Undergraduate students who have no more than two courses or 8 units of course work remaining to be completed in their program for the bachelors
Credit by Examination
Credit by examination may be earned in accordance with regulations established by each college. The student should consult the Undergraduate Studies section of this catalog for specific regulations. A UCR student in residence may take examinations for degree credit in courses offered on the campus without formally enrolling in them. The results of the examinations are entered upon the students record. There is a $5 service charge for each petition.

University Honors Program For a description of the University Honors Program, see Educational Opportunities in the front of this catalog. For a listing of requirements and courses, refer to University Honors Program in the Programs and Courses section of this catalog.
Undergraduate classification is determined by the number of quarter units earned. Postbaccalaureate and graduate classifications are based on the students academic objective and whether or not the student is advanced to candidacy for a doctorate.
Scholarship Regulations
Academic Standing To remain in good academic standing, a student must maintain a GPA of at least 2.00 and make progress toward the degree at a satisfactory rate. Academic Probation Students are placed on academic probation if, at the end of any term, their GPA for the term is less than 2.00 but greater than 1.50, or their cumulative GPA, computed on the total of all courses undertaken in the university, is less than 2.00 (C average). Academic Disqualification Students are subject to disqualification from further registration in the university a) if, at the end of any term, their GPA for that term is less than 1.50 or b) if, after two terms on academic probation, their cumulative GPA, computed on the total of all courses undertaken in the university, is less than 2.00 (C average). Students who are subject to the provisions of this regulation are also subject to such supervision as the faculty of their college may determine. The faculty may disqualify a student under its supervision from further registration in the university or, by suspending the provisions of this regulation, may permit a student subject to disqualification to remain in the university.

Requirements and Expectations
Research To foster intellectual honesty with regard to undergraduate research, all academic units at UCR are encouraged to develop statements that fit the distinctive research climate and needs of their individual disciplines. These guidelines may cover responsibilities of research supervisors, assignment of credit for publications, training of research apprentices, requirements for record keeping of experimental procedures and data storage. Policies relevant to research and agencies funding research are posted on the UCR Office of Research website. Courses Faculty members, teaching assistants, and other instructional personnel are encouraged to include statements addressing academic integrity as part of the syllabus for every course and to educate students about expectations and standards in the context of the course in order that students may not, through ignorance, subject themselves to the charge of academic misconduct. Instructors are further encouraged to inform students of campus resources available for dealing with academic difficulty.
Undergraduate Procedures
Throughout the process of reviewing allegations of academic misconduct, this policy articulates deadlines for action based on calendar days. If the day of a deadline falls on a weekend, holiday, or day the University is otherwise closed, that deadline will be moved to the next day the University is open.

Research In cases of alleged academic integrity violations in undergraduate research, faculty members, teaching assistants, and other instructional personnel should report suspicion of fraudulent or unethical research practice by students, including but not limited to undergraduate student researcher employees, immediately to the Chair of the department, Dean of the school or Director of the organized research unit. The report must then be forwarded to the Vice Chancellor for Research who will be responsible for coordinating further actions. Courses If a faculty member, teaching assistant, or other instructional personnel suspects that an act of academic misconduct has occurred in a course, she or he must promptly communicate with the student regarding the alleged act of misconduct and the information upon which the allegation is based within 30 calendar days of discovery of the alleged act. Under special circumstances, the instructor may make a request for an extension of time through the Vice Provost for Administrative Resolution. If the discovery is made by a teaching assistant, reader, grader, or tutor, he or she should immediately communicate to the Faculty member in charge of the course, so that the Faculty member in charge can proceed with the investigation. Whenever possible, the communication should take place through an inperson consultation and should be conducted in a manner that respects each students privacy and maintains an environment that supports teaching and learning. When a meeting is not possible or practical, an instructor may communicate with the student in writing. Written communication will be sent to the students University e-mail address. When multiple students are involved, faculty members are encouraged to communicate with each student separately. The Faculty member or the student may request the assistance of the Ombudsperson at the conference to assist in a fair and focused discussion about what may have occurred. The student must be given the opportunity to respond to the allegation of misconduct. When communication is made in writing, students will be given 14 calendar days to respond.
Student Conduct and Academic Integrity Programs [SCAIP] Academic Integrity Committees of each college/school [AICs] Hearing panels constituted from the AICs Campus Academic Integrity Executive Committee
A. In cases where the student does not dispute the facts upon which the charges are based, SCAIP, upon receipt of the Academic Misconduct Referral form, will follow up with the student in writing to formally advise the student of the academic sanctions assigned by the instructor as well as appropriate disciplinary sanctions assigned by the University. The decision shall be forwarded in writing to the student within 20 calendar days of the review; and communicated to the instructor, school or college and/or division in accordance with legitimate educational interest criteria as articulated by the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act. Students with a record of previous academic misconduct will be referred to the Academic Integrity Committee in their School or College for a formal hearing (Review Stage 2), with a recommendation that suspension or dismissal be considered B. In cases where the student disputes the facts upon which the charges are based, upon receipt of the Academic Misconduct Referral Form, SCAIP will notify the student of their alleged violation of the University of California Policy on Student Conduct and Discipline, the factual basis for the charges, and the plan to conduct a Review Stage 1 Administrative Review of the case. The student will be advised that the Administrative Review is intended as a thorough exposition of all related facts and written materials associated with the alleged misconduct, and that it is not intended as an adversarial criminal or civil legal proceeding. It is not modeled on these adversarial systems; nor does it serve the same functions; rather, it is an academic process unique to the community of scholars that comprise a University. The student will also be informed of his or her right to be assisted by an advisor of his or her choice. Such written notification will occur within 20 calendar days of the receipt of the referral by SCAIP and will be sent to the students University e-mail address.
V. Maintenance Of Records
SCAIP shall serve as the central location where all written, audio, and electronic records of incidents of academic misconduct are kept on file. The records will be readily available for review by the Deans and Associate Deans of each College or School, the Dean of the Graduate Division, the Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost and the Vice Provost for Administrative Resolution, in accordance with legitimate educational interest criteria as articulated by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. The file of a student found in violation of campus regulations (including the transcripts or recordings of the hearing) will be maintained by the SCAIP for a period of at least seven years from the date of the letter providing notice of final disciplinary action, unless otherwise determined by the Vice Provost for Conflict Resolution. When a student is suspended as a result of a violation of the University of California Policy on Student Conduct and Discipline, the fact that suspension was imposed must be posted on the academic transcript for the duration of the suspension. When a student is dismissed as a result of a violation of this policy, the fact that dismissal was imposed must be posted on the academic transcript permanently
IV. Appeals
1. Channels for Appeals Stage 1 Review decisions made by SCAIP may be appealed through the School or College Academic Integrity Committee in the faculty members School or College. Appellate decisions of a School or College Academic Integrity Committee are final. Stage 2 Review decisions made by a School or College Academic Integrity Committee may be appealed to the Campus Academic Integrity Executive Committee. Appellate decisions of the Campus Academic Integrity Executive Committee are final. 2. Criteria for Appeals New evidence not reasonably available at the time of the original hearing, the absence of which can be shown to have had a detrimental impact on the outcome of the hearing Procedural error that can be shown to have had a detrimental impact on the outcome of the hearing Errors in the interpretation of University policy so substantial as to deny one of the parties a fair hearing Grossly inappropriate sanction having no reasonable relationship to the charges

Undergraduate Studies
Goals of an Undergraduate Education
The faculty of UCR hereby declare the following set of general educational goals to be pursued through our individual and collective efforts in teaching and guiding the undergraduates of this campus. A university education must help students realize their potential as individuals and contributing participants in society. This involves the acquisition of knowledge and skills, as well as preparation for future responsibilities. A general education provides a framework that enables one to appreciate and critically examine the significant aspects of civilization. This framework is derived from the study of world history; political and economic systems; the ethnic, cultural, and religious diversity of the peoples of the Earth; the arts and letters of all cultures; the social and natural sciences; and technology. Such a broad education is the foundation for concentrated studies that enable students to prepare for careers and to strive for an understanding of the world in which they live and about which they must make decisions. A university education nurtures the critical skills of oral and written communication, including the exercise of these skills in a language other than ones own. It must teach students to become verbally and quantitatively literate, to analyze and synthesize, and to regard the acquisition of knowledge as a lifetime activity. A university education must promote tolerance of the opinions of others and an understanding of the mutual dependence of human beings on each other and on their natural environment. The students university years also provide an opportunity to develop integrity, self-esteem, self-discipline, style, humanness, commitment to the general welfare, sensitivity to the interplay of environment and technology, and confidence that the human drama is worthy of a lengthy future. UCR has three undergraduate colleges and one undergraduate school that offer bachelors degrees: Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences; Natural and Agricultural Sciences; Engineering, and Business Administration.
Undergraduate Studies / 55
Students who have not met the requirement upon entrance to UCR are placed into one of the following UCR courses of instruction. Placement in these courses is determined by the Director of the University Writing Program and is based on the students performance on the UC Analytical Writing Placement Exam. 1. BSWT 003 (an ESL course preparatory to ENGL 004) 2. ENGL 004 3. ENGL 005 4. A qualifier course plus ENGL 006D To pass the Entry-Level Writing Requirement (once enrolled as full-time students), students must earn a course grade of C (2.0) or better in ENGL 004, ENGL 005, ENGL 01PA, or earn a course grade of C (2.0) or better in a qualifier course approved by the University Writing Program and the Academic Senate. According to systemwide regulations, any student who has not satisfied the Entry-Level Writing Requirement after three quarters of university residence (three quarters of enrollment during the regular academic year) is not normally eligible to enroll for a fourth quarter at the University of California. (For students placed in BSWT 003, this three-quarter residence rule begins after satisfactory completion of BSWT 003 or at the start of their fourth quarter of regular enrollment at UCR, whichever comes first.) Students are encouraged to complete the requirement as soon as possible in their freshman year. Courses completed in UC Extension are not considered work in residence, even if taken through concurrent enrollment. Thirty-five (35) of the final 45 units must be earned in residence in the students college (this does not preclude the student from taking courses in other colleges on campus). For students who are enrolled in the Education Abroad Program, UC Washington, D.C. program, or UC Sacramento Program, 35 of the final 90 units, including the final 12 units, must be earned in residence. Eighteen (18) of the 35 units may be completed in summer session courses on the Riverside campus. With the approval of the dean of a students college or school, a candidate for the bachelors degree who was in active service in the armed forces of the United States in the year preceding the awarding of the degree may be recommended for the degree after only one quarter of university residence in which the candidate completes at least 16 units or passes a comprehensive examination in the major or field of concentration.
Unit Requirement
A minimum of 180 units of academic work with a grade point average of 2.00 in all courses undertaken in the UC is required for graduation. Not more than 6 units of physical education activities courses, no 400 series course, and not more than three courses in the 300 series may be counted toward the 180 unit requirement.
Scholarship Requirement
To receive a bachelors degree, students must obtain twice as many grade points as units (2.00 grade point) for all courses attempted in the university. An exception to this rule is made for those students undertaking certain honors courses.
Residence Requirement
The minimum residence at the UC required for a degree is three quarters. One of the three quarters may be completed in a UCR summer session in which the student carries 12 units, unless a reduced load is approved in advance by the dean of the students college.
56 / Undergraduate Studies
For details about the UC policy on intercampus reciprocity of breadth requirements and the UC policy on the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum, see below.
Major Requirements
A major is a coordinated group of upper-division courses giving depth to a students work in a chosen area. A list of degrees offered and possibilities for establishing individual majors are described in each college section below. Degrees are also listed in the front of the catalog. A student should choose a major not later than the beginning of the junior year. However, a choice of major before that time facilitates program planning in most academic fields. The departmental major represents advanced and relatively specialized work in one of the academic disciplines in the college. The interdepartmental or nondepartmental major is broader in scope and usually based upon two or more disciplines. The individual major is designed for the student who has an unusual but definite academic interest for which no suitable major is offered. Major requirements are described in detail in the Programs and Courses section of this catalog under the department or program offering the major. The responsibility for fulfillment of all degree requirements general university, college, and major rests with the student. Students are urged, however, to seek program counseling with appropriate advisors. Assignment to a major or to the undeclared category (open to freshman and sophomore students) is based on the students choice indicated on the Application for Admission. The student should enroll in accordance with this choice; changes may be made following course enrollment.
Change of Major
Students may transfer from one major to another, elect a double major within their college, or add a second major in another college by filing a declaration with the dean of the colleges concerned.

Graduate Studies
Graduate students at UCR are an essential part of the universitys distinguished research teams and full partners in the undergraduate teaching mission of the faculty. Founded as a research institution in 1907, Riverside is the oldest of the UCs southern campuses. UCR combines the intellectual and material resources of the UC system with a uniquely intimate research environment, fostering a type of frequent and highpowered faculty-student contact unavailable at other universities. Graduate degrees at UCR are research degrees, certifying that students are trained in the techniques of independent inquiry and have demonstrated the capacity to make unique contributions to their fields. Occupying a distinctive niche in disciplines ranging from chemistry to dance history, nematology to economics, UCR offers graduate programs leading to the degrees of doctor of philosophy, master of arts, master of education, master of fine arts, master of science, and master of business administration.
2 1 2 1 2
Administration
Campus policies concerning graduate education are set by the Graduate Council, a committee of the Academic Senate, and carried out by the Graduate Division staff under the direction of the Graduate Dean. In addition, each program has a graduate advisor appointed by the Graduate Dean. Advisors assist students in program planning and completing degree requirements and write a yearly evaluation of each students progress toward the degree. Students should make an effort to confer regularly with their graduate advisor.

Reapplication
Students who have not maintained continuous enrollment or been approved for a leave of absence will lose their student status and will have to reapply to the University to continue in their degree programs. They should follow the same process as new students to apply for readmission. The Graduate Division will retain a students file for five years. Students applying for readmission within that five year period will not have to provide the University with new transcripts if they have not enrolled elsewhere but may need to provide a new statement of purpose and letters of recommendation. Students who have been gone over five years must order transcripts from all former institutions attended. Students will be held to the new catalog requirements at the time of readmission and will lose their candidacy when they fail to maintain continuous enrollment unless the Graduate Dean approves an exception. Students may return on filing fee status to graduate if they have not used it before and the Dean approves an exception and allows them to reenter under their original catalog requirements and approves their continued advancement to candidacy.
Standards of Scholarship
Only courses in which grades of A, B, C, or S are received may be counted toward satisfying graduate degree requirements. To continue in good standing and obtain an advanced degree, students must maintain a minimum GPA of 3.00 in all upper division and graduate level courses related to the degree. In addition, students must demonstrate acceptable progress toward their degree objectives. This entails the acceptable
Graduate Studies / 59
completion of all course work and other degree requirements in a timely fashion. Students are considered to be making unacceptable progress and become subject to dismissal when they have 12 or more units of I grades outstanding; the overall GPA falls below 3.00; the quarterly GPA falls below 3.00 for two consecutive quarters; they fail to fulfill program requirements such as exams or research in a timely and satisfactory manner; they have not completed their programs within one year after reaching the normative time; or they fail to pass comprehensive or qualifying examinations in two attempts; they fail to make progress in research for two consecutive quarters academic criteria are criteria not directly reflective of class performance, such as discrimination on political grounds or for reasons of race, religion, sex, or ethnic origin or for other arbitrary or personal reasons.
Other Appeals
The procedures for appealing adverse outcomes on qualifying exams, dismissal from graduate standing, placement on probationary status, denial of readmission to the same program (if the student was previously in good standing), disputes over joint authorship of research in accordance with joint authorship policies of campus departments or units, revocation of campus fellowships, and other administrative or academic decisions that terminate or otherwise impede progress toward academic or professional degree goals can be found at http://graduate.ucr.edu/academic_affairs.html
Exams
Only two attempts at major exams are allowed unless the program has special approval from the Graduate Council for additional attempts.
Repeating Courses
A graduate student may repeat only those courses in which a grade of D, F or NC was received. Repetition of a course more than once requires the Deans approval. Only the most recently earned grade is used in computing the students grade point average.
Incomplete Grades
Most commonly, professors will grant an Incomplete if students were unable to take the final examination or finish a paper at the required time due to illness or other unavoidable problems that can be verified, providing the students work in the course was of passing quality. In order to remove the I, students must complete the work required during the next academic quarter (whether in attendance or not)professors will then report the grade to the Registrar on a Grade Change Form. Incompletes cannot be removed by enrolling in the course during the following quarter. Make arrangements with your instructor on how to replace the I for a grade. The I will automatically revert to an F (or NC) after one quarter. PhD students cannot graduate with an I grade on their record. Masters students can only graduate with an I if they do not need the course for the degree and are continuing in the PhD program.
Changing Grades
Grades are final at the end of each quarter. If you discover a clerical or procedural error was made in the posting of your grade, contact the instructor immediately and request a revision. This type of revision can be made only if: 1) the basis for the change is found in work which you submitted as part of the regular assignments during the quarter; 2) the change is not the result of re-examination (unless your initial grade was Incomplete); 3) the change does not involve a change in the grading basis (from S/NC to letter grade or the reverse). Only the instructor can change a grade.
Appeal of Grades
The Regulations of the Riverside Division of the Academic Senate state that if a student believes that non-academic criteria have been used in determining a grade, the student shall attempt to resolve the grievance with the instructor of the course through written appeal to the instructor via the chair of the department. If the grievance is not resolved to the students satisfaction at the departmental level, the student may file a complaint with the Dean of the Graduate Division. The complaint should be filed immediately after the alleged use of non-academic criteria but no later than six weeks after the beginning of the subsequent quarter. Non-
60 / Graduate Studies
students have up to one year from the completion date of all course requirements to complete their remaining academic requirements. Students must complete all requirements for the degree by the last day of the quarter in which they intend to graduate. Students cannot graduate with an Incomplete grade unless they are continuing in a PhD program. Students may not graduate with a GD grade outstanding. Students must be enrolled or on filing fee status to complete degree requirements. If they were enrolled (or on filing fee status) every quarter of the previous academic year then they may complete during the summer without paying fees. method of inquiry or an important field of application related to two or more existing Ph.D. programs. The Designated Emphasis is awarded in conjunction with the Ph.D. degree and is signified by a transcript designation. Graduate students who have completed a Designated Emphases may be more competitive candidates for positions in their primary disciplines. We have designated Emphases in Book, Archive, and Manuscript Studies; Middle East and Islamic Studies; Science Fiction; and Technoculture Studies.
Duplication of Degree
Permission to work for a second masters degree may be approved when there is little relation in content between the two degrees. Duplication of a masters degree in a single field is allowable only with permission of the Graduate Dean. Pursuit of a second doctorate is not permitted for currently enrolled graduate students. It is rarely permitted for students when they first apply to the University. For the Graduate Dean to consider such an exception it must be in a fundamentally unrelated area and there will be no duplication or waiving of coursework if approved.
Special Programs
Teaching Assistant Development Program
UCR has a long history as a distinguished teaching campus and regards teaching assistant (TA) training as a crucial part of graduate instruction. The Teaching Assistant Development Program (TADP) sponsors activities designed to help TAs develop their teaching skills and prepare them to be successful professors. Activities include a fall orientation program, end-ofterm student evaluations, annual awards for outstanding TAs, International TA support and a mentor program, in which TAs of proven ability have the opportunity to mentor their less experienced colleagues. The University Teaching Certificate (UTC), a certificate program in advanced universitylevel pedagogy, is also housed in TADP.
GradSuccess
GradSuccess (www.graduate.ucr.edu/success) provides a variety of services to meet the needs of UCRs diverse graduate student population. Housed in Graduate Division, GradSuccess offers programs, workshops, seminars, and consultations by appointment and drop-in. GradSuccess supports graduate students at every stage of their study and is concerned with helping students become successful professionals. GradSuccess is comprised of the Graduate Student Resource Center (www.gsrc.ucr. edu); the Teaching Assistant Development Program (www.tadp.ucr. edu); the University Teaching Certificate Program (www.utc.ucr.edu); the International TA support program (www.eldp.ucr.edu); the Graduate Student Mentorship Program (www.gradmentors.ucr.edu); and the Graduate Writing Center (www.gwrc.ucr.edu).
Doctoral Degree
The minimum academic residence for the Ph.D. is six quarters at the University of California, three of which must be spent in continuous residence at UCR. The normative time required for the Ph.D. varies considerably and is given at the end of each programs description in the Programs and Courses section of this catalog. For the doctoral degree, normative time is defined as the period of full-time registration required to earn the degree. For most UCR programs, this is between five and seven years. The doctorate, the highest degree the university can bestow, is a research degree, conferred on the recommendation of a doctoral committee, which is nominated in consultation with the student by the program faculty and confirmed by the Graduate Dean. Because the Ph.D. is a research degree, the university gives programs considerable latitude in establishing degree requirements. The individual students program of study is planned in consultation with the graduate advisor, who supervises the students progress prior to the appointment of the doctoral committee. A doctoral program generally involves two stages. The first stage is spent fulfilling the requirements established by the program or department and the Graduate Council, typically a series of courses culminating in written and oral qualifying examinations. When these are passed, the student is advanced to candidacy for the Ph.D. The second, or in-candidacy stage, is devoted primarily to independent study and research and to the preparation of the dissertation. The doctoral dissertation must be an original work of research in the candidates chosen field of specialization. The doctoral committee determines the acceptability of the dissertation and may require that the student defend its contents in a final oral examination.
Intercampus Exchange
The Intercampus Exchange Program (ICE) allows students to study for up to three quarters at another UC campus. To be eligible, students must be in good standing with at least one quarter in residence at UCR and demonstrate at least one of the following: the need to take a course or courses not offered at UCR, the need to study with a particular individual, or the need for continuous access to library holdings or other facilities not available at UCR.
Education Abroad
The Education Abroad Program (EAP) provides students with the opportunity to study abroad at one of several study centers. To be eligible, students should have completed one year of graduate study, be making acceptable progress toward the degree, and know the language of the host country. Applications and information can be obtained from the International Student Resource Center (ISRC). Additional information can also be found in the Education Abroad Program sections of this catalog.
Candidate in Philosophy
A Ph.D. student who is advanced to candidacy and has to leave UCR without a degree may apply for the Candidate in Philosophy. This is awarded only to students leaving UCR without a masters or doctoral degree.
Designated Emphasis
All graduate students admitted to a Ph.D. program may participate in a Designated Emphasis (D.E.), a specialization that might include a new

are advanced to candidacy for the Ph.D. on or before the first day of instruction will receive a reduction of 100 percent of the nonresident supplemental tuition. Each student is eligible for this reduced nonresident supplemental tuition rate a maximum of three calendar years. Time spent not registered (withdrawn, on leave, or filing fee status) will count toward the three-year total unless the Graduate Dean grants an exception. A student must be advanced by the first day of instruction to qualify for that term. All graduate students are assessed a quarterly fee for a health insurance policy providing year-round and worldwide coverage (Graduate Student Health Insurance PlanGSHIP). This insurance is designed to supplement outpatient care available to students through the Campus Health Center. This premium is paid for all teaching assistants, graduate student researchers, and readers/tutors employed 25 percent time or more. Students who can demonstrate to the Campus Health Center that they have comparable insurance from another source may obtain an exemption from the GSHIP premium. Students awarded the exemption have the GSHIP fee removed from their bill but do not receive any monetary compensation. Deadlines for applying for the exemption are firm. Information regarding GSHIP benefits, claims, comparable coverage exemptions, and optional dependent coverage can be obtained from the Health Insurance Coordinator, Campus Health Center (951) 827-5683. More information about GSHIP remissions for teaching assistants and graduate student researchers is available from the Graduate Division, or a students academic program. Students who have not established legal residency in California must pay nonresident supplemental tuition. Regulations governing the determination of California residency are outlined in the Finances and Registration section of this catalog. All students will be assessed this fee until they are declared a resident by the Registrars Office. Even those who were undergraduates at UCR must complete these forms. The Deferred Payment Plan offers students an opportunity to pay their fees in three monthly installments. An application and fee must be submitted by the deadline set by the Student Business Services office. Students must apply each quarter and may apply through their GROWL accounts. their departments and must maintain a GPA of 3.00 or better and be making acceptable progress toward their degree. Any student whose native language is not English must pass a test of spoken English (TOEFL-iBt or SPEAK test) before performing TA duties. No one may serve in teaching title codes (TA, Fellow, Associate In) for more than 18 quarters. The salary for research assistantships at 49 percent time begins as $4,889 per quarter. Graduate student researchers (GSRs) can also be paid on a full-time basis for up to three months during the summer. To be appointed to and retained as a GSR, students must maintain a GPA of 3.00 or better and be making acceptable progress toward the degree. GSR appointments are made through the department or program.
Loan Programs
Federal Direct Stafford Loans and Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loans are available to graduate students through the Financial Aid Office. Students should contact the Financial Aid Office or check www.finaid.ucr. edu for a FAFSA if they want to be considered for these federal loan funds.
Research Grants
Dissertation Research Grants provide funds to doctoral candidates for research-related expenses associated with the dissertation. Applicants must be advanced to candidacy and plan to be registered during the period of the award. Proposals may be funded up to a maximum of $1,000. Applications are available at http://graduate.ucr.edu/list_finaid.html. The Masters Thesis Research Grant is for students enrolled in the Creative Writing and Writing for the Performing Arts, Experimental Choreography, Southeast Asian Studies, and Visual Arts for the purposes of expenses directly related to thesis research. Applications are available at http:// graduate.ucr.edu/list_finaid.html. Graduate Student Association Conference Travel Grants help to meet the financial needs of students who have been invited to present scholarly papers or posters at regional and national professional conferences. The program, administered by the UCR Graduate Student Association, funds both conference attendees and presenters, with attendees reimbursed at one half the rate of presenters. The percentage of reimbursement is set monthly and is based on the volume of applications received.
Fellowships
Fellowships are awarded on the basis of scholarly achievement and promise. Students apply to their prospective programs, which then nominate the most qualified applicants. Recipients must complete a fulltime program of study or research each quarter, maintain a GPA of 3.00 or better, have no more than 7 units of Incomplete grades, be advanced to candidacy for the Ph.D. within 12 quarters after entry (unless the award letter specifies a different date), and be making acceptable progress toward their degrees. Fellowships are offered only to full-time students pursuing degrees. Full-time UCR employees, credential and non-degree objective students are not eligible for fellowships. Full-time UCR employees may apply for reduced fees (see above). Fellowship holders may supplement their awards with employment, with the prior approval of the Graduate Dean. Supplementation levels vary with the type and amount of fellowship award.
Leave of Absence
A leave of absence is intended to allow the temporary interruption of the
62 / Graduate Studies
students academic program. Leaves are granted for the following reasons: 1. Serious illness or other temporary disability 2. The need to concentrate on a job or occupation not directly related to the degree program 3. Family responsibilities To be eligible for a leave of absence, students must have the approval of their graduate advisors, be in good standing, and have been enrolled for at least one quarter. Leaves are not normally granted for more than one year. Since students on leave do not pay fees, they may not use university facilities or make demands on faculty time. Students on leave are ineligible for fellowships, research grants, and financial aid. Appointment as a graduate student researcher or teaching assistant, or any other appointment requiring full-time enrollment, is not possible. Nor can students on leave take qualifying examinations or receive credit for academic work done during the leave period.
In Absentia Registration
Students pursuing graduate study or research outside the state of California for an entire quarter may register in absentia and receive an 85 percent reduction in the student services fee and tuition. Refer to the Finances and Registration section of this catalog for a schedule of fees. In absentia registrants are normally advanced to candidacy for the doctorate; masters candidate are normally in the stage of researching the masters thesis.
Transfer of Credit
A maximum of 8 quarter units from institutions outside the University of California may be counted towards the masters degree at UCR. All transfer work must have been completed in graduate standing with a minimum grade of B. Units cannot be transferred if the student earned a degree. These units may not be used to reduce the minimum number of graduate level units required (24 units required for the thesis plan and 18 units required for the comprehensive exam plan). Department and Graduate Division approval must be obtained before these units can be accepted for credit. Units are transferred as Satisfactory (S) with no grade point value. Since doctoral students do not have a strict unit requirement they do not need to transfer in units. UCR undergraduates who have no more than two courses or 8 units of course work remaining in their bachelors programs and who have been admitted to graduate status may begin course work for their advanced degrees at the beginning of the final quarter of undergraduate study. Transferring units from undergraduate status is called backdating and it requires that students inform their college offices before beginning course work and that they petition the Graduate Division for credit once they are enrolled as graduate students. Students may apply summer sessions course work from any UC campus toward their graduate degree requirements if they have the prior approval of their departments and of the Graduate Dean. Units from another UC campus may be used to satisfy one of the three quarters of the residence requirement and may be counted for up to onehalf of the total units required for the UCR masters degree. Department and Graduate Division approval must be obtained before such units can be accepted for credit. Units cannot be transferred if the student has earned a degree from that campus. In addition, students may transfer up to 8 units of concurrent enrollment credit. Concurrent enrollment means that a student took regularly scheduled UCR classes but was not an admitted student and paid for the class through UCR Extension. Students must have taken these units before their enrollment as graduate students. Matriculated graduate students (including students on leave of absence) may not enroll in course work through Extension without the Graduate Deans approval. Graduate students who withdraw before completing their program objectives, then take courses through Extension are required to wait one year before applying courses to their degrees. Grades from UCR Extension courses will be recorded on student transcripts.
Withdrawal
Students who withdraw during the first five weeks of a quarter are entitled to a partial refund of fees. The amount of the refund is determined by the number of calendar days elapsed between the first day of instruction and the date on which a withdrawal form is filed with the Graduate Division. See the Schedule of Refunds in the Finances and Registration section of this catalog. Students who have applied for the Deferred Payment Plan are considered registered students and are held to the same refund schedule. Students who are unable to file the necessary paperwork due to illness or emergency should call the Graduate Division at (951) 827-3315.
Lapse of Candidacy
Candidacy for the degree may lapse after withdrawing or failing to register at the end of a leave of absence.
Enrollment
Each quarter, graduate students must pay their fees and enroll by the date indicated at classes.ucr.edu. Course schedules require the prior approval of the departmental graduate advisor. All graduate students are expected to carry a full academic course load unless good reasons exist for not doing so. Graduate students are considered to be full time if they are carrying 12 graduate units. When a course program contains both graduate and undergraduate courses, the table on this page is used to calculate the appropriate course load.

Double Majors
Students can declare a second major within the College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences or a second major in a department or program of another college. Changes are not permitted while on academic probation or during the final senior year (135 units or more). Both majors must be completed within the maximum limit of 216 units, and approval must be obtained from advisors in both departments or programs. In such cases, all course requirements must be completed for each of the two majors chosen. One of the two majors must be designated as the primary major for the purpose of satisfying breadth or general education requirements. No more than 8 upper-division units may count for both majors simultaneously. A declaration of two majors in different colleges must be signed by the deans of the colleges concerned and filed by the student with the college of the principal major. If the two majors lead to different degrees (B.S. and B.A.), that fact will be noted on the transcript, but only one diploma indicating both degree designations will be issued upon successful completion of such a program. Furthermore, if the double major is a mixed B.S./B.A., the college requirements for both majors must be met. Students wishing to declare a second major must present an outline to the Student Academic Affairs Office, indicating which major will be used to satisfy breadth requirements and any overlap courses between the two majors.
Majors
A major is a coordinated group of upper-division courses (courses numbered 100-199) in a field of specialization. The major may be a program of upper-division courses within a single department (departmental major), a group of related courses involving a number of departments (interdisciplinary major), or a group of courses chosen to meet a special interest (Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences individual major). Before enrolling in certain upper-division courses, students may be required to gain appropriate knowledge by completing specific prerequisite courses. With the assistance of a departmental advisor, students are expected to select lower-division courses that prepare them for the advanced studies they propose to follow.

programs, museums and archival installations, newspapers, and art galleries. Normally, each local internship does not count for more than 4 or 5 units in a single term, larger numbers of units being reserved for quarter-away internships. Petitions for credit beyond 5 units in a single quarter for a local internship must have the sponsoring agencys approval and a written justification by the students faculty sponsor. All such requests require the associate deans approval. A maximum of 16 units of credit toward the bachelors degree may be obtained through internship courses, with a maximum of 12 units of internship scheduled in a single quarter for quarter-away situations. Students who are on academic probation may not enroll in internship courses.
Credit Limitations
Transfer students with credit from other institutions (advanced standing credit), receive a transfer profile from the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. The Student Academic Affairs Office evaluates the course work, indicating how the transferable credits are applied toward the degree. However, the following credit limitations may reduce the total number of units which apply toward the degree in the College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences. Students should meet with an academic advisor in their major for questions regarding transfer credits. The following credit limitations apply for all students enrolled in the college: 1. After completing 105 quarter units at a community college, students are not allowed further units for courses completed at a community college. 2. No more than 6 units in physical education activity courses may be applied toward the 180-unit requirement for the bachelors degree. 3. No 400 series courses and not more than three courses in the 300 series of courses may be counted toward the 180 unit requirement for the bachelors degree. 4. No more than 5 units of credit may be taken per quarter in special studies courses. See specific restrictions under each departmental listing regarding credit toward the major in special studies courses.
Minors
The College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences offers minor programs; however, no student is required to take a minor. Minors are not degree-granting majors; they are sequences of supplemental courses designed to enhance work in certain areas. Any minor may be taken jointly with any departmental or interdepartmental major. Minors in the college shall consist of not fewer than 16 nor more than 28 units of organized upper-division course work. No overlap may occur among courses used to satisfy upper-division course requirements for a major and a minor. A GPA of at least 2.00 is required in upper-division courses in the field of the minor. A minor is a set of courses focused on a single discipline or an interdisciplinary thematic area. There can be no substitution for the courses listed as constituting a minor without approval of the governing department or committee. There is no limit on the number of minors a student can declare. Students must declare the minor(s) before their final degree check before graduation by completing a petition with the Student Affairs Office in the College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences, the College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences, or the Bourns College of Engineering, depending on their major. Prior approval by the department or committee offering the minor is required. The minor is noted on the transcript at the time the degree is conferred.
Degree Requirements
Students in the College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences must meet three levels of requirements for the Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree: general university requirements, college requirements, and major requirements.
English Composition
Students must demonstrate adequate proficiency in English Composition by completing a one-year sequence of college level instruction in English Composition with no grade lower than C. Courses that the Academic Senate designates as alternatives to English 1C may be applied toward satisfaction of the third quarter of the writing requirement if students earn a C or higher. Students should enroll in an English composition course each quarter they are registered at UCR until the sequence of preliminary Entry Level Writing courses, if needed, and ENGL 001A, ENGL 001B, ENGL 001C (or an alternative designated by the Academic Senate) is completed with satisfactory GPA. Transfer students who have credit for one semester of English Composition from another institution are required to take two additional quarters, i.e., ENGL 001B and ENGL 001C. Students have the option of using a score of 3 on the College Board Advanced Placement Test in English to satisfy ENGL 001A; they must complete ENGL 001B and ENGL 001C.
Unit Requirements
Students must satisfactorily complete for credit a minimum of 180 units for the bachelors degree. A maximum of 216 units is allowed. After having credit for 216 units, students are not permitted to continue except in cases approved by the associate dean in which specific academic or professional reasons are involved.

Foreign Language
Courses in American Sign Language may be used to meet this requirement. For the B.A. degree: course level 4 or equivalent This requirement may be satisfied by students (except for foreign language majors who satisfy the spirit of the language requirement by majoring in one or more languages) by completing the fourth-quarter level or its equivalent in one language at UCR (or at another college or university) with a minimum grade of C or by demonstrating proficiency at the fourth-quarter level on a foreign language placement exam offered by one of the foreign language departments at UCR. This test does not yield unit credit; it only determines whether the Foreign Language requirement has been met, or in which course of the language sequence a student should enroll. The placement exam may be taken only once in each subject during a students UCR career. Students continuing with the same foreign language they completed in high school must take a placement exam (visit placementtest.ucr.edu for dates and locations). Credit will be allowed only at the course level for which they qualify according to the placement exam. For the B.S. degree: course level 3 or equivalent This requirement may be satisfied by students (except for foreign language majors who satisfy the spirit of the language requirement by majoring in one or more languages) by completing the third-quarter level or its equivalent in one language at UCR (or at another college or university) with a minimum grade of C or by demonstrating proficiency at the third-quarter level on a foreign language placement exam offered by one of the foreign language departments at UCR.

Major Requirements
Detailed requirements for each major can be found under the department or program listing in the Programs and Courses section of this catalog. A major in the College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences shall consist of not fewer than 36 upper-division units. All courses applied toward the major and preparation for the major must be taken for a letter grade unless otherwise approved by the department chair. A 2.00 GPA in upper-division courses in the major is required for graduation. Once enrolled on this campus, students must complete all courses designated for a major in regular or summer sessions at UCR; exceptions to this policy must be approved by the department chair and by the associate dean. Candidates for the B.A. degree may not receive more than 80 units of credit toward the degree for work taken in the major discipline (i.e., students must take at least 100 units outside the major discipline). Music and Dance majors may count a maximum of 102 units of music course work toward the B.A. degree (i.e., students must take at least 78 units outside the Music or Dance major). Candidates for the B.S. degree may not receive more than 108 units of credit toward the degree for work taken in the major discipline (i.e., students must take at least 72 units outside the major discipline). To receive the bachelors degree, transfer students must complete a minimum of 16 upper-division units in the major on the Riverside campus. Students who have been away from the university for several terms should consult with their major departmental advisor about the requirements under which they may graduate. See the Catalog Rights Policy for Undergraduate Degrees in the Policies and Regulations section of this catalog.
The recommended study load for undergraduate students is 15 to 16 units per quarter. This is the average quarterly load to ensure steady progress for graduation in four years. The minimal program for an undergraduate student to be considered full time is three courses (12 units) per quarter. The normal progress for an undergraduate student is four courses (16 units) per quarter. A class schedule of fewer than 12 units must be approved by the associate dean (visit classes.ucr.edu for details). The college has established enrollment limits beyond which students require academic advisor approval. The limits are as follows: students in good academic standing, 20 units; students on academic probation, 17 units; students on subjectto-dismissal status, 15 units. Students on probation may not take courses on an S/NC basis. After the second week of instruction, students may request changes by petition during a specified period. Petitions must usually be approved by the advisor and also, in the case of adds, by the instructor concerned. Changes to grading basis need advisor approval after the second week of classes. The associate dean must approve any changes in the class schedule requested after the regular petition period. Courses (including Special Studies courses) can be added through the third week of instruction. Courses dropped after the second week of instruction will appear on the record with a W notation, signifying withdrawal. Students can withdraw from courses through the sixth week of instruction. The grading basis for a course can be changed through the eighth week of instruction. After the third week of instruction, a fee is required to file the petition to change the class schedule.
College Regulations
Refer to the Student Academic Affairs Web site at chassstudentaffairs.ucr. edu for more information on college policies and procedures.
Student Responsibility
Students are responsible for meeting deadline dates regarding enrollment, add/drop/withdrawal, change of grading basis, credit by examination, declaration of candidacy, and other actions. The dates are online at classes.ucr.edu and must be observed. Advising can be obtained in the students major department or in the colleges Student Academic Affairs Office, 3400 Humanities and Social Sciences Building.
Repetition of Courses
See Repetition of Courses in the Policies and Regulations section.
Academic Advising
It is the students responsibility to meet all graduation requirements: general university, college, and major. Students with declared majors receive academic advising through their major department. Major advisors are available within each department or program (see a list of departmental staff for academic affairs at chassstudentaffairs.ucr.edu). All departments assign an academic advisor to each major and may require an advisors approval before enrolling, submitting an academic petition, or making a change in the class schedule. Entering students who have not yet selected a major field of study should contact the Student Academic Affairs Office. Undeclared and Pre-Business students are advised through the Student Academic Affairs Office. A staff of academic advisors is readily available to assist with questions pertaining to academic regulations and procedures, selection of courses which satisfy breadth requirements, major options, and alternatives. Students who need to confer with an advisor about overall degree requirements, academic difficulty, program planning, or assistance in selecting a major need to schedule an appointment with their advisor.
Part-time Study
For details, see Part-Time Study under the Finances and Registration.
Petitions
A petition is a form representing a students need or desire to be excepted from any standard rule or regulation in the university. It is the only way to obtain formal approval from the department, the college or school, the Registrar, or whomever has authority over a particular request. Some petitions carry a small fee; others are free. An approved petition for a waiver or substitution in degree requirements represents an agreement between the student, the college or school, and in some cases, the department chair, granting the student an exception from the existing regulations. Petitions are also used at UCR to change college or major, enroll in fewer units than regulations permit, make late changes to a class schedule, obtain credit by examination, concurrent enrollment, or withdraw from the university. Petitions for most of these exceptions are available in the Student Academic Affairs Office. Please note that petitions for retroactive actions more than one year old will not be approved.
Course Enrollment
Students are required to register and enroll by the date set by the campus (visit classes.ucr.edu for details).
Credit by Examination
To earn credit for a course by examination without formal enrollment in that course, students must be in residence and in good academic standing. Before the examination may be given, arrangements and approval for examination for degree credit must be made with the instructor appointed to give the examination, a faculty advisor (if the major department requires it), and the associate dean. Petitions must be filed with the Office of the Registrar no later than the third week of instruction. Credit by examination is not allowed for English Composition courses. The results of all examinations for degree credit are entered on students records as though they had actually taken the courses of instruction. There is a $5 service charge for each petition. The credit by examination procedure may not be used as a means of improving a previous grade.
Withdrawals
Students may withdraw from the university prior to the end of instruction, for serious personal reasons, with the approval of the associate dean. Students can initiate the withdrawal process online by going to myforms. ucr.edu.
Majors
A major is a coordinated group of upper-division courses (100-199 series) in a field of specialization. Early choice of a major is desirable. Students must declare a major by the time they have earned 90 units. The courses for any particular major are specified by the relevant department or departmental group, and they must provide at least 36 upper-division units of credit, normally taken on a letter grade basis. No more than 84 units in any one discipline may be applied to the degree.
Admission to Majors
Admission of Freshmen Applicants to majors in the College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences who excel in the academic criteria, with additional emphasis on advanced mathematics and laboratory science preparation, will be considered. It is strongly recommended that students have sufficient mathematics competency to qualify for college-level calculus at the time of enrollment. Mathematics Advisory Examination All incoming CNAS freshmen who are not exempt must take the Mathematics Advisory Examination (MAE) prior to attending the summer Highlander Orientation. Certain MAE scores that indicate the need for additional work in intermediate algebra will place students in a college-level intermediate algebra course. This means that these students will need to complete an intermediate algebra course prior to enrolling in any Science and Math courses required for CNAS majors. Students will have the option to enroll in the Intermediate Algebra Workshop (ARC 035) college-level intermediate algebra course during the summer prior to their first Fall quarter at UC Riverside or, at the latest, during their first Fall quarter. ARC 035 Intermediate Algebra Workshop is designed to give students the math proficiency to succeed in a rigorous, university level pre-calculus mathematics course. Based on a students math performance in all ARC 035 coursework, the workshop has two outcomes for CNAS students: 1) placement in Math 008A; or 2) no placement. Students must complete the IAW college-level intermediate algebra course on the UCR campus. For more information about the IAW program, students may visit arc.ucr.edu/lncr35.

More than 90 percent of the students admitted to medical schools in the United States have attained the B.A. or B.S. degree, and a large proportion of those admitted to dental schools have three or more years of undergraduate work. Leaders in medical and dental education urge prospective students to arrange their programs to obtain a broad general education, since the subject matter of the humanities and social sciences is not offered by the professional schools. It is recommended that students preparing to seek admission to medical or dental school obtain a bachelors degree, to which all of UCRs preprofessional programs lead. A student may satisfy the requirements for admission to medical or dental school in one of the following ways: 1. Completing the Biology major 2. Completing the Biochemistry major with a Medical Sciences emphasis 3. Completing a Biological Sciences major with the Medical Biology track 4. Majoring in any department but fulfilling concurrently the specific course requirements of medical or dental schools 5. Completing the major in Chemistry Most medical and dental schools recommend that the courses shown above be taken in a preprofessional degree program. These courses should include laboratories.

Majors
A major is a coordinated group of upper-division courses (courses numbered 100199) in a field of specialization. The major may be a group of upper-division courses within a single department or program, or a group of related courses from several departments or programs. Before enrolling in upper-division courses, students may be required to gain appropriate knowledge by completing specific prerequisite courses. With the assistance of a departmental advisor, students are expected to select lower-division courses which prepare them for the advanced studies they propose to follow.
A student will meet requirements of both primary and secondary majors and the college requirements of the primary major, if they are both in the same baccalaureate class. If the two majors lead to different degree designations (B.S. and B.A.), that fact will be noted on the transcript, but only one diploma indicating both degree designations will be issued upon successful completion of such a double major program. Furthermore, if the double major is a mixed B.S./B.A., the college requirements of both majors must be met. A course used to satisfy the requirements for one major may be used to fulfill the requirements for a second major as well. However, of the required upper-division units, a minimum of 24 must be unique to each major, and both majors must be completed within the maximum unit cap of the primary Engineering major. A student who has declared a double major may graduate in one major upon the completion of all requirements for that major but may not continue in the university for completion of the second major. For details, please contact the Office of Student Academic Affairs.

Overlap may occur between the upper-division course requirements of the major and the minor only to the extent permitted by the department, programs, or interdisciplinary committee offering the minor, or the college of the minor. Courses used, or prerequisite to those used, in fulfilling the minor may be taken on an S/NC basis only on approval of the dean. The department, program, or interdisciplinary committee offering the minor is responsible for student and administrative issues pertaining to the minor. Students must file a declaration of a minor at least two quarters before graduation and must be in good academic standing at the time of filing. A minor requires the signature of the department chair or chair of the faculty committee which supervises the minor and the signature of the dean of the college. A GPA of at least 2.00 in upper-division courses in the field of the minor is a graduation requirement. When all other requirements for graduation have been met, the student will be graduated without the minor if the minimum GPA in the minor field has not been met.

Students with a score of 4 or 5 on the College Board Advanced Placement Test in English have satisfied ENGL 001A and ENGL 001B; they must complete ENGL 001C.
Credit Limitations
Transfer students with credit from other institutions (advanced standing credit), receive a transfer profile from the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. The Undergraduate Business Programs Office evaluates the course work, indicating how the transferable credits are applied toward the degree. However, the following credit limitations may reduce the total number of units which apply toward the degree in The School of Business Administration. Students should meet with an academic advisor in their major for questions regarding transfer credits.
Humanities: 20 units

Transfer students who have credit for one semester of English Composition from another institution are required to take two additional quarters, i.e., ENGL 001B and ENGL 001C. Students have the option of using a score of 3 on the College Board Advanced Placement Test in English to satisfy ENGL 001A; they must complete ENGL 001B and ENGL 001C. Students with a score of 4 or 5 on the College Board Advanced Placement Test in English have satisfied ENGL 001A and ENGL 001B; they must complete ENGL 001C.
Ethnicity: 4 units
One course focusing on the general concepts and issues in the study of race and ethnicity in California and the United States. Courses that satisfy this requirement must concentrate on one or more of four principal minority groups (African American, Asian American, Chicano/Latino, and Native American). These courses must be comparative in nature, analyzing the minority group experience within the present and historical context of other racial and ethnic groups, such as European-American minorities. The courses are to be offered by or cross-listed with the Department of Ethnic Studies. Refer to the Programs and Courses section for the courses that fulfill the Ethnicity requirement.
Foreign Language
Courses in American Sign Language may be used to meet this requirement. For the B.S. degree: course level 3 or equivalent This requirement may be satisfied by students (except for foreign language majors who satisfy the spirit of the language requirement by majoring in one or more languages) by completing the third-quarter level or its equivalent in one language at UCR (or at another college or university) with a minimum grade of C or by demonstrating proficiency at the third-quarter level on a foreign language placement exam offered by one of the foreign language departments at UCR. This test does not yield unit credit; it only determines whether the Foreign Language requirement has been met, or in which course of the language sequence a student should enroll. The placement exam may be taken only once in each subject during a students UCR career. Students continuing with the same foreign language they completed in high school must take a placement exam (visit
Ethnicity: 4 units
Unless otherwise noted, students taking a new General Education Concentration Option will still have to satisfy the campus Ethnic Studies requirement.
Foreign Language
Courses in American Sign Language may be used to meet this requirement. For the B.S. degree: course level 3 or equivalent This requirement may be satisfied by students (except for foreign language majors who satisfy the spirit of the language requirement by majoring in one or more languages) by completing the third-quarter level or its equivalent in one language at UCR (or at another college or university) with a minimum grade of C or by demonstrating proficiency at the third-quarter level on a foreign language placement exam offered by one of the foreign language departments at UCR. This test does not yield unit credit; it only determines whether the Foreign Language requirement has been met, or in which course of the language sequence a student should enroll. The placement exam may be taken only once in each subject during a students UCR career. Students continuing with the same foreign language they completed in high school must take a placement exam (visit placementtest.ucr.edu for dates and locations). Credit will be allowed only at the course level for which they qualify according to the placement exam. Note, in order to be enrolled in one of the concentrations, students must first see their academic advisor and then receive written approval from Professor George Haggerty, chair of the General Education Advisory Committee.
affairs at chassstudentaffairs.ucr.edu). As Pre-Business students are accepted in to the Business Administration program, they are advised by academic advisors in the Office of Undergraduate Business Programs (see a list of departmental staff for academic affairs at soba.ucr.edu). Undeclared students are also advised through the Student Academic Affairs Office in CHASS. A staff of academic advisors is readily available to assist with questions pertaining to academic regulations and procedures, selection of courses which satisfy breadth requirements, major options, and alternatives. Students who need to confer with an advisor about overall degree requirements, academic difficulty, program planning, or assistance in selecting a major need to schedule an appointment with their advisor.
Course Enrollment
Students are required to register and enroll by the date set by the campus (visit classes.ucr.edu for details). The recommended study load for undergraduate students is 15 to 16 units per quarter. This is the average quarterly load to ensure steady progress for graduation in four years. The minimal program for an undergraduate student to be considered full time is three courses (12 units) per quarter. The normal progress for an undergraduate student is four courses (16 units) per quarter. A class schedule of fewer than 12 units must be approved by the associate dean (visit classes.ucr.edu for details). The college has established enrollment limits beyond which students require academic advisor approval. The limits are as follows: students in good academic standing, 20 units; students on academic probation, 17 units; students on subjectto-dismissal status, 15 units. Students on probation may not take courses on an S/NC basis. After the second week of instruction, students may request changes by petition during a specified period. Petitions must usually be approved by the advisor and also, in the case of adds, by the instructor concerned. Changes to grading basis need advisor approval after the second week of classes. The associate dean must approve any changes in the class schedule requested after the regular petition period. Courses (including Special Studies courses) can be added through the third week of instruction. Courses dropped after the second week of instruction will appear on the record with a W notation, signifying withdrawal. Students can withdraw from courses through the sixth week of instruction. The grading basis for a course can be changed through the eighth week of instruction. After the third week of instruction, a fee is required to file the petition to change the class schedule.
Major Requirements
Detailed requirements for the Business Administration major can be found under the department or program listing in the Programs and Courses section of this catalog. A major in The School of Business Administration shall consist of not fewer than 36 upper-division units. All courses applied toward the major and preparation for the major must be taken for a letter grade unless otherwise approved by the department chair. A 2.00 GPA in upper-division courses in the major is required for graduation. Once enrolled on this campus, students must complete all courses designated for a major in regular or summer sessions at UCR; exceptions to this policy must be approved by the department chair and by the associate dean. Candidates for the B.S. degree may not receive more than 108 units of credit toward the degree for work taken in the major discipline (i.e., students must take at least 72 units outside the major discipline). To receive the bachelors degree, transfer students must complete a minimum of 16 upper-division units in the major on the Riverside campus. Students who have been away from the university for several terms should consult with their major departmental advisor about the requirements under which they may graduate. See the Catalog Rights Policy for Undergraduate Degrees in the Policies and Regulations section of this catalog.
College Regulations
Refer to The School of Business Administration Web site at soba.ucr.edu for more information on college policies and procedures.
Student Responsibility
Students are responsible for meeting deadline dates regarding enrollment, add/drop/withdrawal, change of grading basis, credit by examination, declaration of candidacy, and other actions. The dates are online at classes.ucr.edu and must be observed. Advising can be obtained in the Undergraduate Business Programs Office, 2340 Olmsted Hall.

Part-time Study
For details, see Part-Time Study under the Finances and Registration.
Petitions
A petition is a form representing a students need or desire to be excepted from any standard rule or regulation in the university. It is the only way to obtain formal approval from the department, the college or school, the Registrar, or whomever has authority over a particular request. Some petitions carry a small fee; others are free. An approved petition for a waiver or substitution in degree requirements represents an agreement between the student, the college or school, and in some cases, the department chair, granting the student an exception from the existing regulations. Petitions are also used at UCR to change college or major, enroll in fewer units than regulations permit, make late changes to a class schedule, obtain credit by examination, concurrent enrollment, or withdraw from the university. Petitions for most of these exceptions are available in the Office of Undergraduate Business Programs in Olmsted 2340, and Pre-Business and undeclared students can obtain these petitions in the Student Academic Affairs Office in CHASS. Please note that petitions for retroactive actions more than one year old will not be approved.
All course work, whether taken at UCR or elsewhere, must be completed by the last day of UCRs finals week during the quarter of graduation (no GDs or Incomplete grades). Incomplete, IE, IP or GD grades on the transcript will stop the processing of the degree. Once the application for graduation is filed, the students name will be entered on the appropriate degree list. Students who need to amend the prospective quarter of graduation and who have submitted an application for graduation petition must notify the Undergraduate Business Programs Office, in writing, as soon as possible.
Withdrawals
Students may withdraw from the university prior to the end of instruction, for serious personal reasons, with the approval of the associate dean. Forms are available in the Undergraduate Business Programs Office.
Credit by Examination
To earn credit for a course by examination without formal enrollment in that course, students must be in residence and in good academic standing. Before the examination may be given, arrangements and approval for examination for degree credit must be made with the instructor appointed to give the examination, a faculty advisor (if the major department requires it), and the associate dean. Petitions must be filed with the Office of the Registrar no later than the third week of instruction. Credit by examination is not allowed for English Composition courses. The results of all examinations for degree credit are entered on students records as though they had actually taken the courses of instruction. There is a $5 service charge for each petition. The credit by examination procedure may not be used as a means of improving a previous grade.
Admissions
Admission requirements for the programs are similar to requirements for the Graduate Division. In addition to transcripts, applicants should submit test scores from the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) or General Record Examination (GRE), and three letters of recommendation from persons knowledgeable about the applicants academic ability and potential for success in the program.
Admission Admission to Teacher Education Programs is required in order to complete the professional and graduate level courses. The admission requirements vary depending on the credential specialization but at minimum students need a 3.0 GPA (calculated on the last two years of undergraduate studies), passage of the basic skills requirement, and subject matter competency. Students who want to be considered for an intern program or the M.Ed. General Education Teaching Emphasis have additional requirements. More information is available at www.education. ucr.edu. California Teach-Science/Mathematics Initiative (CaTEACH-SMI) California Teach-Science Mathematics Initiative (CaTEACH-SMI) has a goal of addressing the critical need for highly qualified K-12 science and mathematics teachers in California. With an economy increasingly reliant on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and the anticipated large scale retirement of qualified teachers, this is an essential time to explore and prepare for a career in teaching science or mathematics. CaTEACH-SMI at UCR offers undergraduate students paid/unpaid opportunities, such as the SMI & Alpha Center Apprentice Programs, to explore STEM teaching as a career option. Through CaTEACH-SMI, students receive advising and mentoring to prepare for entrance into an intern teaching credential program while diligently coordinating with academic advisors to ensure completion of STEM degree requirements. The CaTEACH-SMI Resource Center provides future STEM teachers with material and financial resources which includes the National Science Foundation (NSF) Noyce Scholarship Program, to promote planning and professional development towards a science/mathematics education career. For more information about the CaTEACH-SMI program, please visit http:// smi.ucr.edu, the Resource Center at 1315 Pierce Hall, or on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/ScienceMathInitiativeAtUcr.
Graduate Study
Curricula are offered through the Graduate School of Education for the M.A., M.Ed. and Ph.D. degrees. These programs require broad training in education and in a cognate field of study. Further information can be found under Education Graduate and Credential Programs in the Programs and Courses section of this catalog or visit education.ucr.edu.
Mission Statement
The mission of the UCR School of Medicine is to improve the health of the people of California and, especially, to serve Inland Southern California by training a diverse workforce of physicians and by developing innovative research and health care delivery programs that will improve the health of the medically underserved in the region and become models to be emulated throughout the state and nation.
The Center for Glial-Neuronal Interactions (CGNI) in UCRs School of Medicine brings together researchers with very diverse expertise to foster innovative and collaborative research on problems of brain and spinal cord health and disease. Together, faculty, fellows and students seek to define molecular mechanisms required for optimal brain and spinal cord function as well as for prevention and therapeutic intervention of neurodevelopmental, neurologic and neurodegenerative diseases. Ongoing research includes programs on Alzheimers disease, autism spectrum disorders, cognitive disorders, epilepsy, glioblastoma, infections of the brain, multiple sclerosis, neuroinflammatory disorders, phantom limb syndrome, substance abuse and traumatic brain injury. cgni.ucr.edu
The School
The UCR School of Medicine, the first new public medical school to be developed in California in more than 40 years, is expressly designed to meet the physician workforce needs in Inland Southern California and to improve the health of people living in the region. The schools communitybased model provides medical students with clinical experiences in a variety of healthcare settings with diverse patient populations. The M.D. curriculum offers a program that trains physicians who will be more attuned to the needs of increasingly diverse and underserved patient populations, with emphasis on culturally competent medical care. The Thomas Haider Program at the UCR School of Medicine will maintain a unique pathway into medical school for UCR students, with up to 24 of the 50 available seats filled by students who attend UCR for at least six consecutive quarters and complete their bachelors degree at UCR. medschool.ucr.edu/admissions Together with affiliated medical centers in the community, the school is building a range of residency training programs to provide the post-M.D. education required for physicians to become fully independent, licensed and board certified. New and developing residency training programs currently are in the specialties of general internal medicine, family medicine, general pediatrics, OB/GYN, psychiatry and general surgery. medschool.ucr.edu/gme
Facilities
In addition to the new School of Medicine Research Building and newly renovated School of Medicine Education Building, the schools faculty, students and staff carry out their educational, research and administrative functions in Webber Hall, in Pierce Hall and in several clinical locations within Riverside and San Bernardino counties.

See the Backdating Units section under Policies and Regulations. 4. Professional courses for teaching credential candidates: 300399. 5. Other professional courses: 400499.
Cross-listed Courses
Cross-listed courses share equivalent course content but are taught by two or more departments. Cross-listed courses generally share a course number, but each course is tied to a specific subject area and department. While prerequisites, unit coverage, and grading basis are identical for cross-listed courses, it may be preferable for students in certain degree programs to enroll under only one of the available subject areas. See an academic advisor to determine which subject area is most appropriate before enrolling in a cross-listed course. To determine which courses are cross-listed, see individual course descriptions in this catalog or visit classes.ucr.edu.
UC Extension Courses
Students may earn credit toward bachelors and masters degrees at the UC through University Extension. Acceptance of such credit is based on requirements of a particular college, division or department. Generally, preference is given to credits from courses numbered 001099 and 100199, prefixed by XR, XL, XI, XB, etc., indicating that such courses are intended to replicate regular offerings of a campus of the UC. Also, courses organized by University Extension, numbered 001099 and 100199, prefixed only with an X, are acceptable. Extension credits are treated like transfer units from approved colleges. They apply toward unit requirements for a degree, but they do not count toward the requirements for residence. Resident students in the university must have advance approval from the appropriate dean for enrollment in UC Extension courses. Credit earned in University Extension courses is not automatically applicable toward requirements for a masters degree or universityrecommended teaching credential and is permitted only in unusual circumstances. Students desiring such credit should consult with their graduate advisors and the Graduate Division before undertaking such courses.

Anthropology prepares students for dealing with the challenges of an increasingly international economy, transnationally connected communities, and multicultural citizenries. Besides helping students hone and refine analytical skills and critical thinking, anthropology helps them recognize the impact of cultural dynamics on interpersonal communication and on the social structures that affect everyones daily lives. Anthropology majors interested in pursuing graduate studies are excellent candidates for programs in anthropology, business, law, journalism, medicine, social work, urban planning, and almost any other profession that calls for working with people from a variety of backgrounds and in a number of different settings. The skills and knowledge learned as an undergraduate anthropology major help students understand the connections between people. Anthropology majors who are not planning to pursue graduate or professional studies immediately can forge careers as teachers at the primary and secondary levels; interviewers; recruiters in executive and specialized employment agencies; staff and managers in various local, state, and federal governmental agencies as well as in a variety of national and international nongovernmental organizations and community development organizations; archaeological field or laboratory technicians; intercultural communications professionals in hospitals and other organizations; or union organizers.
anthropology: (1) Archaeology (2) Biological anthropology (3) Cultural and social anthropology (4) Linguistics Note Students are strongly urged to take the lower-division requirements in the first two years of university study. Students intending to major in anthropology should work closely with a faculty advisor in planning their programs.
Majors
Anthropologists study the way diverse groups of people understand and live in various settings ranging from urban environments to rural villages all over the world. They are interested in such questions as: What does it mean to be human? What activities define the social life of groups and how are they related? How do the members of groups communicate? What is the material evidence for their social and biological history? What are the historical, social, political, economic, and environmental forces that have helped to shape the experiences of particular groups of people, both in the past and in the contemporary world? And, how do human societies change and why? Anthropologists apply this knowledge for the benefit of the peoples whose communities they study. Anthropology includes four broad subfields: 1. Sociocultural anthropology, the comparative study of communities in their local and global contexts 2. Archaeology, the investigation of past societies through their material and written remains 3. Biological anthropology, which focuses on the evolution of human beings as a species and the interaction of human biological variability with culture 4. Linguistic anthropology, which explores the interconnections of language, culture, thought, and social structure

The faculty is committed to an integrated, socially engaged concept of the discipline. The traditional subfields sociocultural anthropology, biological anthropology, archaeology, and linguistics are crosscut by a series of concentrations that constitute areas of strength. The most developed concentrations are (1) the applied anthropology of transnational processes (inequality, migration) and the border and binational communities associated with globalization and the internalization of capital; (2) the archaeology of Mesoamerica and Western North America; (3) cultural and political ecology; and (4) Latin America. The department has close working relationships with other programs on campus. The department is dedicated to educating the next generation of professional anthropologists. The faculty consists of active research scholars with solid records of publication, conducting original research, obtaining extramural grants, and placing graduate students in regional, national, and international labor markets. Aware of the current structures of employment, faculty prepare students to pursue both academic and nonacademic careers. Admission Applicants must supply GRE General Test scores, official transcripts from all institutions attended since high school, three letters of recommendation, a writing sample, and a personal statement specifying why they wish to undertake and complete graduate training at the UCR Department of Anthropology. Course Requirements During their first year, students complete the year-long seminar sequence ANTH 200A, ANTH 200B, and ANTH 200C (Core Theory in Anthropology). Students must acquire a basic understanding of three of the four subfields (sociocultural anthropology, biological anthropology, archaeology, and linguistics). To fulfill the breadth requirement, students must take at least one graduate course in each of two subfields outside the students major focus. All students must complete professional development training by the end of their 9th quarter. This is fulfilled by taking Anthro 210B before taking their Ph.D. Oral Exam. Language Requirement Students must demonstrate at least a reading knowledge in one language other than English. In some cases, the students advisor may require knowledge of a second language. The choice of language(s) and the method of demonstrating competence should be determined in consultation with the students advisor. All students must file a Statement of Plan to Fulfill the Language Requirement by the end of the second quarter of their first year in residency. This includes students who are fully bilingual or whose primary language is not English. Competency may be demonstrated by the following: 1. Placing higher than level 3 in the Language Placement Examination, 2. Receiving a grade of at least B or S in a reading skills course or level 3 traditional language course, or 3. Alternative certification In addition, students who plan to conduct fieldwork in a non-English setting must acquire conversational skills in the appropriate language before commencing fieldwork. Because language acquisition is a slow process, students are encouraged to begin language training early in their graduate program. Methodological Skills Requirement Students must demonstrate competency in a qualitative or quantitative methodological skill such as GIS, lithic analysis, statistics, or hieroglyphic analysis. The choice of methodological skill should be determined in consultation with the students advisor. All students must file a Statement of Plan to Fulfill the Methodological Skills Requirement by the end of the second quarter of their first year in residency. Masters Examination Students take the masters examination during the week of spring-quarter examinations of their first year. The examination is based on the material covered in the ANTH 200A, ANTH 200B, and ANTH 200C sequence and is required of all students, including those holding a masters degree from another institution. Depending on the students performance on the test, the faculty will recommend one of the following: 1. Pass with Distinction or High Pass Automatic continuation in the Ph.D. program and award of the masters degree under Graduate Division Plan II. 2. Pass Awarding of the masters degree under Graduate Division Plan II, but a successful retake (Pass with Distinction or High Pass) is required to continue in the Ph.D. program. 3. Fail Masters degree not awarded, but one retake within six months is allowed for potential awarding of the masters degree under Graduate Division Plan II. The Preliminary Research Statement is designed to present the research orientation for an intended dissertation topic and to explain how the student intends to develop and pursue the area of research. The statement should present a comprehensive plan of study and a timeline covering the remainder of the students graduate career, and outline intended areas, theories, and methods. It should be considered a precursor to the materials developed later in the research proposal and the written qualifying examination. Designating a dissertation committee is part of completing the statement. The Written Qualifying Examination is a research paper written during a specified two-week period. The examination question is generated by the faculty advisor in consultation with the student and the dissertation committee, and must be approved by the department before the student can begin the examination. The Research Proposal prepares students to undertake dissertation research and provides, in part, the basis for the oral qualifying examination. The length and format of the proposal should be similar to that of a proposal for a major funding agency.
Graduate Program

Major
The three emphases areas within the Biochemistry major are Chemistry, Biology, and Medical Sciences. The Biology and Chemistry emphases are for students interested in postgraduate education or employment in the basic areas of the discipline of Biochemistry. The goal of the Medical Sciences emphasis is to prepare students for admission to postbaccalaureate education in the health professions. The Biology, Chemistry, and Medical Sciences emphases focus on the development of laboratory and critical thinking skills, and hands-on laboratory experience. In addition, participation in an independent research project (BCH 197) or research tutorial (BCH 190), carried out under the supervision of a faculty member, is encouraged. Internships in industry (BCH 198-I) are also available, and often lead to valuable job experience and employment opportunities. The department offers both B.A. and B.S. degrees. The major and emphasis requirements are the same for both, and most students choose the B.S. degree. The B.A. degree requires 12 additional units of Humanities and Social Sciences courses, and 16 units or a course 4 equivalency level of a foreign language (see College Breadth Requirements). Note A maximum of 12 units of 190-199 courses may be counted toward the 180 unit graduation requirement. All courses used towards the Biochemistry major requirements must be taken for letter grades.

Major
The Department of Biology offers B.A. and B.S. degrees in Biology. Both programs are based on the conviction that broad undergraduate training in biology, mathematics and the physical sciences, together with study in the humanities and social sciences, are fundamental to the education of a biologist. In addition to English composition, humanities, social sciences and the Life Sciences core curriculum (see below, Major Requirements), both degrees require 36 units of upper-division (numbered 100-199) biology courses. The degrees differ in the humanities and social sciences requirements; also 16 units of a foreign language are required for the B.A., whereas the B.S. requires 16 additional units in substantive courses in biology or related fields. The research and teaching of the Department of Biology includes different levels (e.g., molecules, cells, organisms, populations, communities) and processes (e.g., development, evolution) of biological organization. An overview is presented in the introductory courses (BIOL 005A, BIOL 05LA, BIOL 005B, and BIOL 005C), and emphasis is placed on the unifying principles of the discipline. Because of the diversity within biology and the wide range of career options, much latitude is allowed in selecting upper-division biology courses for the 36 units required for the major. Each student can select courses and plan a program of study to meet her/his specific interests and career goals. For assistance with this, faculty advisors are available in the CNAS Academic Advising Center (1223 Pierce Hall, (951) 827-7294). The section below, Programs of Specialization, is provided as a guide for course selection for graduate schools, medical and health science professional schools and the broad range of careers that are possible with the Biology major.

Graduate Program
The multidisciplinary interdepartmental graduate program in Biomedical Sciences offers graduate instruction leading to a Ph.D. degree or a combined M.D.Ph.D degree. The aim of the graduate program is to provide students with training that crosses traditional boundaries between scientific disciplines and allows them to address modern biomedical research questions. The objective is to train scientists who have a broad knowledge of basic medical sciences, a high degree of expertise in an area of specialization, and effective teaching skills for a medical school or university environment. The need for scientists who understand the interrelationships of various areas of medical science is readily apparent. For example, it is clearly advantageous for a scientist studying diabetes to understand the disease in depth. This requires a fundamental understanding of endocrinology (hormone secretion and action), cell biology (cell types that produce insulin and upon which insulin acts), biochemistry (insulinreceptor interactions, biochemical pathways regulated by insulin), genetics (hereditary factors in the development of diabetes), immunology (autoimmune mechanisms in diabetes), and anatomy (microvascular pathology). There is a growing need for scientists who can communicate among disciplines so that very effective research collaborations can be developed. Cell Biology/Physiology research areas include function of transcription factors in development, disease, and in the promotion of regeneration; fluid and electrolyte pathophysiology in cystic fibrosis; molecular genetics of human cell response to environmental carcinogens; tumor suppressor genes in malignant melanoma; factors controlling lymphocyte differentiation; mechanisms of action of cytotoxic lymphokines; physiological aspects of hostparasite interaction; host defense mechanisms in infectious disease; and mucosal immunity and molecular approaches to vaccine development. Endocrinology/Pharmacology research areas include regulation and actions of the vitamin D endocrine system; mechanism of action of insulin and insulin-like growth factors; prolactin as a growth factor in health and disease; hormonal and electric field regulation of bone development and growth; and molecular mechanisms for carcinogenesis (glioblastoma, breast and prostate cancer). Neurosciences research areas include studies of the hypothalamic control of homeostatic and sexual function; molecular mechanisms
Doctoral Degree
The aim of the graduate program in Biomedical Sciences is to train Ph.D. scientists in a specific area of research specialization who also have enough general knowledge in the basic medical sciences to apply their research expertise to unraveling the basis of disease. This approach includes understanding not only pathogenic manifestations of disease but also the normal physiologic state. To accomplish this, the student completes a core and elective curriculum, the latter tailored to the students research interests. Core requirements include: 1. BMSC 229: Foundations of Translational Research 2. BMSC 232, 233, 234 and 235: Foundations of Medicine Series 3. BMSC 260A, BMSC 260B, BMSC 260C: Topics in Biomedical Research. The entire 3 quarter series is required in the first year of graduate education. 4. BMSC 261: Methods in Biomedical Research. Enrollment required all 3 quarters of the first year of graduate education. 5. BMSC 252: General seminar in Biomedical Sciences (enrollment required each quarter) 6. BMSC 254: Graduate seminar in Biomedical Sciences (enrollment required each quarter) 7. BMSC 302: (one-quarter requirement, not required of M.D.Ph.D. students) Under normal circumstances, each student should complete core course work requirements 1-4 during the first year of studies. At the end of the students first full year of residence, the advisory committee for each student evaluates the progress of the student and recommends to the faculty whether the student should continue in the program. In addition, prior to advancement to candidacy and at the beginning of each academic year, the student presents a written summary of the research progress and plans to the advisory

Plan I (Thesis)
1. Three courses from Section I of either the Botany track or the Plant Science track M.S. list 2. Two courses from Section II. In fulfilling the Section II requirement, students may use no more than one course cross-listed by Botany and Plant Sciences and another program. If such a cross-listed course is used toward fulfilling the Section II requirement, the same course may not be used toward fulfilling the Section I or III requirements. 3. At least 6 units from Section III of either the Botany track or Plant Science track M.S. list 4. Preparation of a thesis (not more than 12 units from Section V may apply toward the degree) If the student takes research courses from Section IV, not more than 6 units may be applied toward the degree. Students who have taken courses comparable to those in Section I during their baccalaureate training may have a portion or all of this section waived. In such instances, however, it is expected that their programs include increased units in courses from Sections II, III, and/or IV. Recommendations for waivers should specify alternative courses and should be sent to the department educational advisory committee for approval.
Graduate Program
The Department of Botany and Plant Sciences offers programs leading to the M.S. degree in Plant Biology with two tracks, Botany or Plant Science, and a program leading to Ph.D. degrees in Plant Biology or Plant Biology (Plant Genetics)*. Research in these programs can focus on basic and/or applied questions. Admission Applicants who have a baccalaureate degree and who satisfy the general requirements of the university listed in the Graduate Studies section of this catalog are considered for admission to graduate status. Students applying to the Ph.D. program and domestic applicants to the M.S. program must submit GRE General Test scores (verbal, quantitative, and analytical). Regardless of the area of their major for the baccalaureate degree, students must have had, or complete soon after entering graduate school the following: 1. A year of course work in general biology and general chemistry 2. A course in genetics, biochemistry, and calculus 3. Two courses in physics and/or statistics. Credit from these courses does not count toward the graduate degree. Immediately after being admitted, each student should identify a faculty advisor and consult with that advisor or the graduate advisor regarding educational goals; scheduling initial course work and possible lab rotations; and forming a guidance committee. Further guidance on these matters is provided in the
Doctoral Degree
The Department of Botany and Plant Sciences offers programs leading to the Ph.D. degree in Plant Biology. The student must meet the general requirements of the Graduate Division. Admission Either prior to entering the graduate program or before advancement to candidacy, students must have completed the equivalent of BPSC 104 and one other course from the core plant biology courses (BIOL 107A, BPSC 132, BPSC 135, BPSC 138, BPSC 143, BPSC 146). Course requirements for each student are determined by individual guidance committees and by the educational advisory committee. No later than the second quarter in residence, students meet with a guidance committee to (1) determine a course program to be submitted to the educational advisory committee,and (2) choose a major area of specialization and two minor areas. Course Work Guidance committees and students should design individual course programs that meet the specific needs of the student and the requirements of the Ph.D. program. Course programs should prepare students for the qualifying examination and dissertation research. All first-year students must enroll in BPSC 200A and 200B during their first Fall and Spring quarters. Students must take a minimum of 12 additional graduate-level units relevant to the specialization. Graduate courses taken previously may be considered towards fulfilling this requirement. Students course programs must be approved by the educational advisory committee. At the time of submission of course programs to the educational advisory committee, the area of specialization and two minor areas to be covered on the qualifying examination should be specified. Students may petition to change the course program, area of specialization, or minor areas at any time. Students entering the Plant Biology Ph.D. program have four choices, as listed below. Students with a general interest in plant biology and/or evolution are encouraged to choose the first. Ph.D. in Plant Biology Students who choose to obtain a Ph.D. in Plant Biology without one of the following concentrations are encouraged to with the advice and consent of their Major Professor and Guidance Committee create a set of coursework that is specifically tailored to their individual research interests and career objectives. Students can also choose from one of three concentrations:

Collegiate Schools of Business. Admission A limited number of students are accepted into the Business Administration major, chosen according to overall GPA. Students must apply for the major when they have completed not fewer than 75 and not more than 100 quarter units of college work. Final acceptance into the major is based on completion of all prerequisites and breadth requirements within a 100-quarter-unit limit, a GPA above 2.50 in major prerequisites, and cumulative GPA of at least 2.70. (Students who have not completed the foreign language breadth requirement may be accepted into the program, but they must complete the requirement before graduation.) Exceptions to the 100-quarter-unit maximum must be requested by petition. UCR Students (excluding Pre-Business students) interested in changing major to Business Administration will be admissible to the Business Preparatory (BSPR), (which is not a major in UCR, but a holding group of transfer students who appear to be qualified for admission into business administration, but have some deficiencies which need to be completed before admission into business administration) status only if they can complete their deficiencies in breadth and/or major prerequisites within one quarter (the first quarter after admission into Bus-Preparatory). The same rule will apply to students transferring in from a community college or a four-year school. In the event these students fail to meet this one quarter requirement, they will not be admitted into the BSPR category, and will be advised to find another major at UCR. Students are encouraged to participate in at least one internship during their junior or senior year. Students interested in international business are encouraged to consider opportunities for study through the Education Abroad Program, which has centers affiliated with more than 150 institutions in 35 countries worldwide.

programs in both Chemical Engineering and Environmental Engineering designed to lead to a Bachelor of Science degree as well as a Master of Science degree in five years. Applicants for this program must have a high school GPA above 3.6, a combined SAT Reasoning score above 1950 (or ACT plus Writing equivalent), complete the Entry Level Writing Requirement before matriculation, and have sufficient mathematics preparation to enroll in calculus in their first quarter as freshmen. Interested students who are entering their junior year should check with their academic advisor for information on eligibility and other details. Admission Applicants should have a degree in chemical and environmental engineering or closely related fields, have a satisfactory overall GPA from their undergraduate studies, good letters of recommendation, and high scores on the GRE General Test. Normally, students admitted to regular standing have satisfied all prerequisite course work. Under special circumstances, students who have not completed all undergraduate requirements may be admitted provided that the deficiencies are corrected to the satisfaction of the students advisory committee within the first year of graduate study. Courses taken for this purpose do not count towards an advanced degree. International students, permanent residents, and even U.S. citizens whose native language is not English and who do not have a bachelors or postgraduate degree from an institution where English is the exclusive language of instruction must complete the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) with a minimum score of 550 (paper-based test), 213 (computer-based), or 80 (internet-based). Language Requirement All students whose native language is not English must achieve a clear pass on the TAST or SPEAK test before the completion of their first year or they will be asked to leave the program. However, for those who receive a conditional pass, a departmental committee will evaluate their English proficiency before a final decision is made. Course Work To ensure that advanced degree recipients in the graduate program have advanced knowledge in mathematics and chemical engineering principles that form the foundation for chemical and environmental engineering, a core course program has been implemented. All M.S. and Ph.D. students must participate in the core course program. Students who have completed these (or equivalent) courses elsewhere may petition to have the core course requirement waived or some of their units transferred (see the Graduate Division policy for transferring course units). Competency in these areas will be tested as part of the comprehensive exam for M.S. students and in the written preliminary examination for Ph.D. students. The current core courses are as follows: CEE 200 (Advanced Engineering Computations) CEE 202 (Transport Phenomena)

interested in a professionally oriented major leading most often to a career or advanced study in chemistry. The B.A. program is designed for students who wish to obtain a broad educational background with less intensive emphasis on chemistry. In this program, students have increased ease in meeting requirements for such areas as premedical, predental, or prepharmaceutical science; education; and administration. Check www.careers.ucr.edu. A Chemical Physics option is available for students who wish to prepare for admission to a graduate program in chemical physics. The Environmental Chemistry option is available for students who wish to become familiar with environmental processes and problems related to air, water, and soil, and to apply their chemical knowledge working in environmentalrelated areas. This option also prepares students for admission to a graduate program emphasizing environmental chemistry. Pre-Health Science Chemistry majors in either the B.S. or B.A. programs can prepare for admission to medical, pharmacy, or dental schools by carefully planning their programs of study. Students planning to apply for postgraduate studies in the health sciences should make it a special point to consult with their Chemistry advisor early in their studies at UCR. Check www.hpac.ucr.edu. science with introductory, college-level biology, chemistry, physics, and geoscience (geology, meteorology, oceanography, astronomy). Further information about courses, requirements, and examinations can be obtained in orientation meetings and the Graduate School of Education (1124 Sproul Hall). California Teach-Science/Mathematics Initiative (CaTEACH-SMI) California Teach-Science Mathematics Initiative (CaTEACH-SMI) has a goal of addressing the critical need of highly qualified K-12 science and mathematics teachers in California. With an economy increasingly reliant on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and the anticipated large scale retirement of qualified teachers, this is an essential time to explore and prepare for a career in teaching science or mathematics. CaTEACH-SMI at UCR offers undergraduate students paid/unpaid opportunities, such as the SMI & Alpha Center Apprentice Programs, to explore STEM teaching as a career option. Through CaTEACH-SMI, students receive advising and mentoring to prepare for entrance into an intern teaching credential program while diligently coordinating with academic advisors to ensure completion of STEM degree requirements. The CaTEACH-SMI Resource Center provides future STEM teachers with material and financial resources which includes the National Science Foundation (NSF) Noyce Scholarship Program to promote planning and professional development towards a science/ mathematics education career. For more information about the CaTEACHSMI program, please visit http://smi.ucr.edu, the Resource Center at 1315 Pierce Hall, or on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/ ScienceMathInitiativeAtUcr. Students must have a minimum grade point average of 2.70 in transferable college courses. UCR has articulation agreements with most of the California community colleges. These agreements list specific community college courses that have been designated as comparable to UCR courses (see the statewide articulation web site at www.assist.org). Transfer students will usually find it advantageous to complete most or all sequences before starting at UCR. All prospective transfers should try to complete the sequences they begin rather than divide a sequence between two campuses.
Teaching Credential
Teachers in the public schools in California must have a credential approved by the State Commission on Teacher Credentialing. The credential requires an undergraduate major, baccalaureate degree, and completion of a graduate credential program such as that offered by the Graduate School of Education at UCR (see Education in this catalog and www. education.ucr.edu). UCR has an approved undergraduate program for Chemistry majors who plan to get a Multiple Subjects Credential and teach in the elementary (K-6) grades. A breadth of course work is necessary, in addition to the specified requirements for the major. Students are urged to start early, preferably as freshmen, selecting courses most helpful for this career. Details and counseling on the Bridge to Teaching Program, a preparation program for the multiple subjects credential, are available in the Office of Interdisciplinary Programs, 3111 Interdisciplinary Building South (INTS), (951) 827-1584; www.lsnid.ucr.edu. Details and counseling on other programs are available in the Graduate School of Education and www. education.ucr.edu/programs.html. UCR does not yet have a state-approved undergraduate program for chemistry majors who wish to teach at the secondary level. The Teaching Credential in Science, chemistry emphasis, is required for chemistry teachers, grades 7-12. Students who plan to get this credential must take the commissions subjectmatter assessment examination and should make certain their academic program includes preparatory course work. The examination includes chemistry in depth and general

Graduate Program
The Chemistry Department offers the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Chemistry. Fields of specialization (subdisciplines) are analytical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, and physical chemistry. Research is also carried out in bioanalytical, bioinorganic, bioorganic, and biophysical chemistry and in chemical physics, environmental/atmospheric, organometallic chemistry, and neuroscience. For additional information on the latter, please see Neuroscience Graduate Program in the Programs and Courses section of this catalog. Admission All applicants must submit scores from the GRE General Test. A score from the Advanced Chemistry GRE is not required for admission. It is strongly recommended, however, that applicants submit this score in order to receive maximum consideration for fellowships. The department normally considers applications for teaching and research assistantships at the same time as fellowships; therefore, students are strongly encouraged to complete their applications for admission and support as early as possible. Normally applications for fellowships are awarded by February for students entering in the following fall quarter. Although most students begin in the fall quarter, students may begin their studies in the winter or spring quarter. Orientation Examinations Admitted students must, at the beginning of their first quarter in residence, take orientation examinations. The examinations are normally given during two consecutive days starting up to one week prior to the first day of instruction. Although a notice of the times and places of these examinations is sent to each student admitted to regular graduate status in chemistry, it is the students responsibility to be on the campus early enough to check the bulletin boards in Chemical Sciences for this information. Students take these examinations in the four subdisciplines: analytical, inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry. The purpose of these examinations is to assess the students undergraduate preparation. The results permit the faculty to determine the course program that will most effectively aid the students development in their chosen subdisciplines.
certain circumstances). A maximum of 12 units of seminar courses (CHEM 250-259) and a maximum of 12 units of graduate research; (but not those numbered CHEM 260-289) may apply towards the 36 units. Students must complete a thesis, and a final oral examination on the thesis may be required. Plan II (Comprehensive Examination) Students must complete at least 36 units of approved courses of which at least 18 must be in regular lecture courses numbered CHEM 200-249 (CHEM 110A or CHEM 110B, CHEM 113, CHEM 125, and CHEM 150A or CHEM 150B may apply under certain circumstances) and up to 12 units of graduate seminar courses numbered CHEM 250-259. Those numbered CHEM 260-289 are specifically excluded.
Doctoral Degree
The Department of Chemistry offers the Ph.D. degree in Chemistry. The requirements are orientation examinations in analytical, inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry; general university requirements; and departmental requirements. Program of Study The departmental committee on graduate study determines a program of study on the basis of the students performance on the orientation examinations and a consideration of their subdisciplines. For students with a normal B.S. level preparation, the typical course pattern for each subdiscipline is as follows: 1. Analytical (a minimum of three courses selected from CHEM 221A, CHEM 221B, CHEM 221C, CHEM 221D, CHEM 221E plus two other courses) 2. Inorganic (CHEM 231A, CHEM 231B, CHEM 231C plus two other courses) 3. Organic (CHEM 211A, CHEM 211B, CHEM 211C plus two other courses) 4. Physical (a minimum of three courses selected from CHEM 201A, CHEM 201B, CHEM 201C, CHEM 201D, CHEM 201E plus two other courses) Second Year Research Evaluation Students seeking advancement to candidacy for the Ph.D. degree must undergo a Second-Year Research Evaluation (SYRE). The SYRE must take place by the end of the students fourth academic quarter of residency and is administered by a four-member committee of the Chemistry faculty, one of whom is the students dissertation advisor. The Chair of the SYRE Committee will be someone other than the dissertation advisor. Typically, these same four faculty members would also serve on the oral qualifying examination committee, with the Chair of the SYRE Committee continuing on as Chair of the oral qualifying examination committee. The SYRE consists of both a written and oral component and the student is assessed on both components. The written SYRE document should provide an introduction to the dissertation research, an outline of the goals and objectives, a description of the progress to date, and a delineation of the path forward. The SYRE document is limited to five
Minor
The minor in Chemistry consists of 28 upperdivision units in chemistry. 1. Of the specified upper-division units, a minimum of 16 units must be unique to the minor and may not be used to satisfy major requirements. 2. At least one of the courses used to satisfy the 28 units must be in CHEM 125, CHEM 111, CHEM 140 or CHEM 166 (courses which include laboratory work). 3. No more than 4 units of 190-199 courses may be used in fulfilling the upper-division units for a minor. All of the upper-division courses in chemistry have a prerequisite of CHEM 001A, CHEM 001B, CHEM 001C, CHEM 01LA, CHEM 01LB, CHEM 01LC, or CHEM 01HA and CHEM 1HLA, CHEM 01HB and CHEM 1HLB, CHEM 01HC and CHEM 1HLC and most have CHEM 005 as a prerequisite. Students with a minor in Chemistry should consult with their Chemistry advisor to construct a specific program consistent with their career goals. See Minors under the College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences in the Colleges and Programs section of this catalog for additional information on minors.

The department offers the B.A. in Comparative Literature. Comparative Literature is an interdisciplinary field which is studied internationally. At UCR, the Comparative Literature curriculum is organized around a core staff of comparatists assisted by qualified faculty from other departments and programs. The discipline of Comparative Literature encourages study of interliterary relationships among various cultural traditions; on the graduate level, it seeks to promote the study of interdisciplinary relationships. Comparative Literature courses, undergraduate or graduate, require that the majors read whenever possible in the languages (two for undergraduates, one of which may be English, and three for graduates) they present. Nonmajors may do all the readings in English translations. Comparative Literature majors may also work with translations. Comparative Literature and World Literature courses are open to all students.

The objective of the B.A. in Classical Studies is the furthering of knowledge of classical civilization through two emphases: the study of Greek and/or Latin language(s) and literature(s) and the study of courses in English translation on topics including classical literature, history, politics, religion, mythology, and art in order to aid students appreciation of the Greek and Roman contributions to later Western civilization. The student who majors in Classical Studies acquires a balanced yet focused view of the language, literature, thought, and civilization of Greece and Rome. The student also obtains the valuable skills of a better vocabulary, a sharper critical sense, logical analysis of texts, coherent argumentation, and a valuable perspective on our own society. Classical Studies majors receive a liberal arts education of traditional excellence and one widely esteemed by business and professional schools. A student may also pursue graduate training in Classics, Art History, History, Philosophy, or other related disciplines.
Minor
The Classical Studies minor offers students a fundamental understanding of classical language and culture which form the basis of much of western civilization. The minor naturally complements liberal arts degrees in many areas, including History, Art History, Philosophy, English, and Religious Studies. Students profit from the skills associated with a degree in the classics, such as enhancement of analytical and critical abilities, communication skills, and verbal proficiency. 1.

The Comparative Ancient Civilizations B.A. combines the breadth of an interdisciplinary major with the focus of more traditional majors like History or Classical Civilization. By undertaking a comparison of several major cultures of the past that have continued importance in the construction of our present world, the program affords a truly liberal education. Students have a unique opportunity to employ the methods of humanities and social sciences in their major study. They acquire skills of historical and social analysis, multicultural awareness, insight into constructions of gender and sexuality, and mental flexibility. The major is an excellent choice as a double major taken along with any of the traditional disciplines to add distinction and intellectual breadth to ones background.

Linguistics is the science of language. It seeks to discover the psychological and motor mechanisms of human speech, the similarities and differences among languages, how languages change, and the way in which language is acquired. Because linguistics is largely independent of fields with which the student is likely to be familiar, no special background is required for students entering the major.
Linguistics / 193
Linguistics interacts with a wide variety of fields, such as articulatory phonetics (biology), acoustic phonetics (physics), field methods (anthropology), language and culture (anthropology), sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, logic, the philosophy of language, and the study of particular languages (including their history). This interaction provides opportunities for students with varied interests and can give new perspectives to those in related disciplines. or in related fields. They may relate either to a particular field or specialization or to general linguistics.) 4.

Major
Upon electing the linguistics major, and certainly no later than the middle of the sophomore year, a student should see the Director of the Linguistics Committee for advising. The director can help students find a suitable advisor to file the necessary forms. In consultation with an advisor, a student plans a coherent program of specific courses to meet the requirements below. The student and the advisor must then submit a copy of the program to the full Committee on Linguistics for approval. Students interested in the linguistics major should request from the committee director information concerning the many possible course programs. Many of them permit double majors, thus providing strong preparation for further study in two fields. Students may add variety and depth to their UCR linguistics major by attending a Summer Program in Linguistics (held in various places) or by participating in the Education Abroad Program (EAP). This is an excellent opportunity to become deeply familiar with another country and its culture while earning academic units towards graduation. Students should plan study abroad well in advance to ensure that the courses taken fit with their overall program at UCR. Consult the departmental student affairs officer for assistance.

Dance / 213
The focus of this program is the development of experimental choreography that challenges cultural assumptions and is informed by a critical and reflective perspective. Core courses focus on what constitutes an experiment in contemporary dance, improvising choreography, systems of representation used to create choreographic meaning, and the collaborative process. Through close cooperation with the Ph.D. program in Critical Dance Studies, students explore the dynamic relationships between theory, method, and object of study. A final project demonstrates a thorough investigation and committed execution of a defined choreographic problem. Financial assistance includes teaching assistantships and fellowships for community projects through the Gluck Fellows Program of the Arts. Admission Applicants to the program should demonstrate significant professional experience as an active choreographer making and producing work, must have a B.A. or B.F.A. degree from an accredited institution. It is recommended that applicants take the GRE if their GPA is below a 3.0. A video sample of choreography is required. Contact the department for specific details. The program is especially designed for the practicing artist who desires to return to an institutional context for advanced study. The program seeks applicants who desire to contextualize their aesthetic inquiry through the study of historical, cultural, and political perspectives on dance. Students will be asked to examine their own artistic production from these various perspectives, as they produce new work. They will be involved in a rigorous investigation of contemporary aesthetic issues as formulated in their own research projects. Course Work Requirements consist of 40 units of course work (10 courses) and 12 units of independent research for a final project. The core curriculum, normally to be completed in the first two years of residency, shall comprise the following 16 units: DNCE 240 (Improvising Choreography: Scores, Structures, and Strategies) DNCE 241 (Creating the Experiment: Identifying the New) DNCE 242 (Dancing Representation: Figures, Forms, and Frames) DNCE 243 (Collaborating in Dance Making: Materials, Methods, and Interactions) In addition, students must complete 16 units from the following Critical Dance Studies courses: DNCE 254 (Political Approaches to Dance Studies) DNCE 255 (Historical Approaches to Dance Studies) DNCE 257 (Rhetorical Approaches to Dance Studies) DNCE 258 (Cultural Approaches to Dance Studies) One 4-unit DNCE 200-level seminar course in history and theory, excluding DNCE 280 and DNCE 290 to DNCE 299. Students must also take Dance 301, as well as 4 graduate-level units of electives, to be determined in consultation with their chair, that are relevant to their specific research project. These 4 additional units should be taken for a letter grade and can include a graduate-level seminar within or outside of the department, Dance 280 (the Colloquium), or the bundling of an upper-division undergraduate-level course with 2 units of Dance 292 (Concurrent Analysis). An additional 12 units are taken through DNCE 297 or DNCE 299 for work on phases of the final project. During the second year, students form a committee consisting of three faculty members, one of whom may be outside the department. The committee approves the project proposal and supervises the final project. The students progress through the program culminates in the final project, which reflects a serious investigation of a specific choreographic problem. Foreign Language Requirement None Written and/or Oral Qualifying Examination During the second year, the student writes a 515-page proposal for the final project to be approved by the committee. Final Project The final project could take the form of a concert of dances or some other performance event in which the students research is made evident. Because of the experimental nature of the program, it is difficult to specify the exact form the project may take. For example, students may 1) undertake to create site-specific dances occurring in different locales over several months, 2) organize opportunities for interactive choreography with distinct groups of performers, or 3) choreograph a dance to be viewed on CD-ROM. Whatever its final form, the project must demonstrate a thorough investigation and committed execution of a defined aesthetic concern. The final project includes a written requirement to be completed within one quarter following the performance event. This document, 20-40 pages long, outlines the aesthetic focus of the students research and provides a historical and philosophical contextualization for the project. Normative Time to Degree 9 quarters UCR faculty put into motion various modes of production: performance studies, history, ethnography, critical race theory, feminist studies/masculinities & queer studies, Marxism or post-Marxism, and other specific area studies related to, for example, South Asian, Asian Diaspora and Asian American studies, African Diaspora studies, Indigenous studies, Latina/Latin American studies, and Global South studies. The program provides a provocative environment for investigating cutting-edge strategies for original scholarly work in dance. Admission Students must meet the general requirements for admission to the Graduate Division as shown in the Graduate Studies section of this catalog. Students may submit a statement of background about experience in dance history and theory, a previously prepared research paper, or the equivalent, demonstrating analytical and interpretive skills, and GRE scores. Prerequisites include the following: 1. A working knowledge of movement 2. An acquaintance with some system of movement observation and analysis 3. Preparation in general historical and cultural studies Deficiencies may be corrected with appropriate course work. Course Work Core curriculum normally to be completed in the first two years of residency includes the following: DNCE 254 (Political Approaches to Dance Studies) DNCE 255 (Historical Approaches to Dance Studies) DNCE 257 (Rhetorical Approaches to Dance Studies) DNCE 258 (Cultural Approaches to Dance Studies) DNCE 301 (Seminar in Dance Studies Pedagogy and Professional Development) Six additional graduate-level courses are required. Two from other disciplines related to the students research interest, and four from Dance. A maximum of one Dance M.F.A. core course may be included as one of the four additional graduate-level dance courses required. Language Requirement All students must show competence in at least one language other than English. Further requirements in specific forms of dance or music notation or ancient or contemporary languages may be determined for each student in consultation with relevant faculty and the graduate advisor of the program. Written Qualifying Examination Students must prepare one field for examination with each of four members of the committee in whose courses the student has completed degree requirements. The committee is composed of two Dance faculty members, one of whom is chair, and two other members who may be Dance faculty or outside members (not a

teaching credential from the Graduate School of Education. Students in CNAS who intend to pursue a Teaching Credential in Science, with authorization in another science, should consider pursuing a Minor in Earth Sciences.
Geology Major
The department offers four options for the Geology major: General Geology, Geobiology, Geophysics, and Global Climate Change. Students who choose the Geology major study the structure, composition, processes, and history of the earth. In particular, the Geology major stresses features of the Earths surface and interactions between its atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, rocky crust, and interior. General Geology Option Students entering the General Geology option study the nature, distribution, age, and origin of minerals, rocks, and their contained fossils, placed within a global framework of the Earth as an evolving geologic system. The option entails a broad range of geologic training including geology, geophysics, geochemistry, and paleontology. An emphasis is also placed on fieldwork (mapping, sampling) and thoughtful analysis of geologic data (including statistical and graphical analysis with computers). Though broadly based, the option provides the student some flexibility to pursue specific geologic areas of interest at the upper-division level. Graduates of the General Geology option are qualified to pursue almost any professional career in the Earth Sciences and are wellsuited to tackle graduate research at the M.S. or Ph.D. level. Global Climate Change Option The Global Climate Change option offers earth science training with an emphasis on modern and ancient evidence for global climate change and the effects of such processes on the planet. Links between human activities, organismal evolution, weathering, volcanism, plate tectonics, extraterrestrial events and the history of the atmosphere and oceans are examined. Ancient earth climate trends are studied as proxies for predicting future climate change. Students in this option receive training in climatology, oceanography, paleoecology, stratigraphy, earth resources and the global carbon cycle. Geobiology Option The Geobiology option offers broad-based geological training combined with a special emphasis on paleontology and organismtime interactions. Students take the geology core but at the undergraduate upper-division level focus on courses related to the fossil record, evolution and biodiversity, sedimentology, stratigraphy, and biogeography. The graduate leaves with a marketable geology degree coupled with special insight into historical aspects of lifes place and role on this planet. Geophysics Option The Geophysics option allows a student to combine general geological training with geophysical techniques to image the Earths interior. Students take the geology core but complete additional courses in physics, mathematics, geophysics,
Majors
The Department of Earth Sciences offers B.S. degrees in Geology and Geophysics, and a B.A. degree in Geoscience Education. These degree programs are designed for students with a strong interest in various aspects of the Earth Sciences, and for students interested in secondary teaching with a science emphasis. The B.S. programs place substantial emphasis on fieldwork with field courses, field trips in all appropriate courses, and excursions between quarters. The B.A. degree places emphasis on the fundamentals of geoscience, with additional coursework in education.
Academic Advising
Undergraduate advising in the Department of Earth Sciences is designed to allow close professional contact with faculty and staff. Counseling on graduation, departmental requirements and enrollment is handled by the majors professional academic advisors housed in the CNAS Undergraduate Academic Advising Center and the faculty undergraduate advisor for each major. Each student selects a faculty mentor who counsels the student on career goals and research opportunities. The department recommends that students meet with their faculty mentor at least once each quarter
University Requirements
See Undergraduate Studies section.
College Requirements
See College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences, Colleges and Programs section. Some of the following requirements for the major may also fulfill some of the colleges breadth requirements. Consult with a department advisor for course planning.
Geophysics Major
Students who choose the Geophysics major apply the principles and concepts of physics, mathematics, geology, and engineering to the study of the physical characteristics of the earth and other planets. They make measurements of gravity and magnetic fields, seismic waves, temperatures, and natural electric current. Geophysicists study these topics from the standpoint of the physics of solid bodies, gases, and fluids. Some geophysicists are field oriented, some laboratory oriented, some theoretical, and some combine these areas.
Major Requirements
Geology Major
All courses in Geosciences that are prerequisites for other courses in the major must be passed with a grade of C- or better before proceeding in the sequence. For example, GEO 001 is a prerequisite for GEO 122. The department offers four options to majors in Geology: General Geology, Geobiology, Geophysics, and Global Climate Change. All students majoring in Geology are normally required to take the core curriculum.
Graduate Programs

Economics studies the production and distribution of goods and services, as well as the way in which productive activity helps shape social existence. Economists are concerned with the factors determining national income, inflation, unemployment, output, growth and inequality (macroeconomics), as well as the behavior of individual decisionmaking units like households and firms (microeconomics). Economists are also concerned with the role of markets, money and interest rates, the forces affecting international trade, and many other problems of production and distribution. Economics is the basis for many careers, some of which require only a B.A. degree while others require more advanced work. Possible careers include business, government,

Students who do not meet these requirements may still be admitted but normally must take these courses as prerequisites to the required courses. Applicants to the M.A. program must have the same academic potential as Ph.D. applicants, as reflected by GPA and GRE scores. Admission to the M.A. program does not guarantee later admission to the Ph.D. program. Doctoral Program The department encourages applicants from a variety of backgrounds, but a good understanding of intermediate microeconomics, intermediate macroeconomics, multivariate calculus, and elementary linear algebra is necessary to begin taking the core requirements, described below. In addition, two courses in basic probability and statistics or econometrics are required before beginning the core econometrics sequence. Students who do not satisfy the requirements, or who have been out of school for several years, should consider enrolling in the one-year M.A. program.
Masters Degree
The M.A. degree is designed as a preparatory program for those students interested in pursuing the Ph.D. but who are not adequately prepared to enter the Ph.D. program directly (e.g., students who lack the necessary prerequisites in economics or mathematics or students who have been out of school for some time).

Purpose
Since 1962, the Education Abroad Program (EAP) has served as the University of Californias systemwide international exchange program. EAP offers undergraduate and graduate students opportunities to integrate into the academic and social life of prestigious international universities while earning UC credit. Available programs complement courses taken at UC campuses and help students acquire the knowledge, understanding, and skills for work and life in a globally interdependent and culturally diverse world. The program stimulates the intellectual development of the participants, broadening their general education, and giving a new depth to their particular academic interests. Many gain fluency in a language other than their own, and all grow in their ability to engage in independent study. Perhaps most valuable of all are increased self-understanding and confidence, clarified life and professional purpose, and a broadening and deepening of personal values.
Academic Program
See http://eap.ucop.edu for partner universities and study options. Participants may fulfill lower-division, degree, major, or elective requirements and often enhance their UC education by taking courses not available at UCR. The study center director facilitates the academic work of the students through liaison with faculty at the host university. The study center director or EAP liaison facilitates the academic work of the students with faculty at the host university. Spanning all continents, EAP offers traditional academic year, short-term, and summer programs. Students who want to gain basic foreign language skills have Language and Culture options. Thematic options include Engineering in Hong Kong and Japan, Tropical Biology in Costa Rica, and Health Sciences. Students anticipating a business career have a broad range of locations to enhance their preparation, including in-depth study on NAFTA, the European Union, and Central Europe. Internship opportunities are growing in nearly all fields of study. Future teachers, in particular, have benefited from teaching opportunities in China, Japan, and Mexico. Undergraduates have several possibilities to
Financial Matters
Depending on the program, EAP can cost more than, equal to, or less than studying at UCR. Additional costs directly related to the program are round-trip transportation, health clearance, on-site orientation, and, if required,

envisci.ucr.edu The Environmental Sciences Graduate Program offers the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Environmental Sciences. Advanced training in Environmental Sciences is becoming increasingly necessary to address complex problems involving natural resources and environmental quality. Although this task frequently requires specialized knowledge in various fields of science, it also requires understanding and integration of a wide variety of interacting physical, chemical, biological, and societal influences. This interaction makes graduate study in environmental sciences distinct from many other scientific fields. We have designed our program to offer advanced training in a number of specialized field areas within environmental sciences, operating within a single graduate degree program administered by the Department of Environmental Sciences. Students trained in the Environmental Sciences Graduate Program can fill many areas of expertise needed in the state and nation. Potential career opportunities exist at regulatory agencies, consulting firms, government and academic research institutions, and industrial research facilities. Admission Entry to the program requires completion of a baccalaureate degree in a field appropriate as preparation for graduate study in environmental sciences. Students normally will come to the program from an environmental sciences related discipline such

Graduate Program
The Genetics, Genomics, and Bioinformatics Graduate Program (GGB) administers a program leading to the Ph.D. in Genetics, Genomics, and Bioinformatics. GGB is an interdepartmental program that includes faculty from the departments of Biochemistry, Biology, Botany and Plant Sciences, Cell Biology and Neuroscience, Computer Science and Engineering, Entomology, Environmental Sciences, Nematology, Plant Pathology and Microbiology, and Statistics, as well as the Division of Biomedical Sciences. The three fields of specialization (subdisciplines) are as follows: 1. Molecular genetics 2. Evolution and population genetics 3. Genomics and bioinformatics The program is structured to allow maximum flexibility in the design of an individual student course program and research goals. A primary objective is to allow students to develop a capability in research as rapidly as possible, consistent with the students initial preparation. Students are expected to meet all general requirements of the Graduate Division as printed in the Graduate Studies section of this catalog. Admission Submission of GRE scores (verbal, quantitative and analytical) is mandatory for admission. Applicants with any B.A. or B.S. degree and an adequate background in the biological and physical sciences will be considered. The specific entry requirements for the three areas of specialization (Molecular Genetics, Evolution and Population Genetics, and Genomics and Bioinformatics) vary somewhat but include courses in genetics, biology, chemistry, calculus, computer science, and statistics. Please refer to the Program Guidelines for details. GGB evaluates applications on a continual basis from October to May, however, it normally considers

Doctoral Degree
The program offers the Ph.D. degree in Genetics, Genomics, and Bioinformatics. Course Work All students choose a genetics subdiscipline for specialization (either molecular genetics, evolution and population genetics, or genomics and bioinformatics). Specific course requirements are selected on the basis of the subdiscipline and the students particular needs and objectives. The Ph.D. is a research degree, and, accordingly, the goal of the program is to train students in the theoretical and experimental foundations of modern genetics. Students are strongly encouraged to participate in lab rotations, select a major professor and begin research work early in their training (during the first year of residence). Written and Oral Qualifying Examinations Students are advanced to candidacy following successful completion of a written preliminary examination and an oral qualifying examination. Dissertation and Final Oral Examination Successful completion of a final oral dissertation defense is also required. Foreign Language Requirement None Teaching Requirement Each student must have at least one quarter of teaching experience. This requirement may be satisfied by serving as a teaching assistant in a genetics-related course. Normative Time to Degree 15 quarters

Major
Global Studies is a broad-based study of processes and problems that transcend national boundaries, preparing students to become global thinkers and problem solvers for the twenty-first century. Global Studies crosses disciplines, drawing on the fine arts, social sciences, humanities, and sciences. The Global Studies major includes the study of global historical processes that have made the world more interconnected, as well as contemporary issues of global politics, violence, security, global migrations, travel, social movements, global literature, arts and media, the global economic system of trade, finance and labor, global health and disease, and environmental change and sustainability. Students are grounded in two disciplines, as well as a single geographic area of study and a foreign language. Global Studies is a way to give powerful support to re-conceptualize the meaning of place in the contemporary world and to retool faculty and students to become global thinkers. It focuses on transnational processes rather than relations among nations.

Majors
History plays a central role in general education for all undergraduate students. History stresses an understanding of changes that take place in society over time. It also provides a meaning to the past that has many implications for the future. Since we learn from experience, through history we can greatly broaden our learning through the experience of others, removed in time and distant in space from our immediate world. The study of history is as useful as it is fascinating. History majors develop an ability to communicate well, both orally and in writing, and the capacity to think clearly and analytically. Whatever ones goals, it makes good sense to include history in any degree program.
University Requirements
See Undergraduate Studies section.
College Requirements
See College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences, Colleges and Programs section.
Major Requirements
The History Department offers B.A. degrees in History, History/Administrative Studies, and History/Law and Society. Change of Major Students switching to the History, the History/Administrative Studies, or the History/Law and Society Major must have completed three History courses with a grade of C or better.

Graduate Program
The Department of History offers the M.A. in History, the M.A. in History through the public history program, and the Ph.D. in History. Admission The department accepts admissions applications from students intending to earn each of these degrees. Applications for admission to the graduate programs in History are normally accepted for the fall quarter only. Scores for the aptitude sections of the GRE are required of all applicants, and applicants must submit a writing sample. Students entering the Ph.D. program without an M.A. may also earn the M.A. in History, as described below. Students admitted to one of the M.A. programs may later request admission to the Ph.D. program. Entering students choose a faculty advisor, who works closely with the graduate advisor in approving the students course of study. Detailed rules for each program are contained in the departmental protocols.
Masters Degree
The Department of History offers three programs of study leading to the M.A. degree: the Regular Program (Plan I and Plan II) and the Public History Program.
Doctoral Degree
The Department of History offers the Ph.D. in History. The Ph.D. program in History prepares graduates for careers as university teachers, public historians, and professional researchers and analysts. Admission Students may prepare for entry into the Ph.D. program by earning a B.A. or an M.A. degree in History or by earning a degree in a closely related field that involves significant study of history. Students holding a degree in another field are evaluated by the graduate studies committee on a case-by-case basis to determine the level of the graduate program at which they should commence their studies.

for students who have specific interests that cannot be accommodated within any one of the departments in the College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences and who wish to construct a coherent program of their own. The Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences major is not intended for students whose interests are undecided; students proposing a Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences major must propose a specifically focused interdisciplinary topic or a two-field area. Such students must have a faculty advisor who is a member of the UCR Academic Senate. The Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences major is fulfilled by a course of studies determined in consultation with an advisor and with the full approval of the chair and three members of the committee overseeing the major. The student may construct either an interdisciplinary option or a twofield option for the major as described below. Admission Students who wish to select a Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences major must fill out a form and submit a carefully worded statement of purpose showing meaningful course interrelations. The Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences Interdisciplinary Committee considers each proposal in the context of the students topic and statement of purpose. Students whose proposals are being approved should petition for a change in major only after they have been informed of the committees approval of their interdisciplinary program. Every subsequent change in the students initial program must be approved by the advisor; a record of the program and of program changes is kept in the students files. Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences courses are supervised by the committee and are open to major as well as nonmajor students. Interdisciplinary Option The interdisciplinary option is built around a central concept in humanities and social sciences. The concept might be a specific culture, country or ethnic group such as Italian civilization and culture; an age or period such as the Renaissance or the industrial revolution; a great social issue or human problem such as war, revolution, communication; or any other topic which receives significant attention from several disciplines. Two-Field Option In special circumstances the committee sponsors a two-field option for the major designed to allow students to combine studies in two disciplines. Such majors are approved only if they cannot be accommodated within a dual major or within the Liberal Studies Program.

Major
Latin American Studies is an interdisciplinary, area studies major that allows students to combine insights from many related disciplines. The interdisciplinary focus permits students to study the anthropology, economics, geography, history, sociology, languages and cultures of the region to gain a broad understanding of a complex world area. The Latin American Studies major provides great flexibility to explore a wide range of subjects of particular interestfrom religious cults in the Caribbean to indigenous video in the Andes or the dynamics of agrarian reform in rural Mexico. The flexibility of the major allows the possibility of completing a double major with other departments such as History, Anthropology, or Political Science. UCR has a strong faculty in Latin American Studies, with more than 35 members drawn from departments across the campus. More than 125 courses taught at UCR have a significant focus on the region. The strength and breadth of the offerings at UCR permit each student to specialize in the particular country or discipline of greatest interest. Students have many opportunities to get involved in research projects with Latin American Studies professors. Students are encouraged to spend time living and studying in Latin America through, for example, the University of California Education Abroad Program (EAP).

law-like relationships, and allows students to develop critical thinking about law and social institutions. For students not planning to pursue graduate studies, this program offers a means of understanding some complex relationships between social institutions. For those who plan to pursue graduate studies, the breadth of course work should provide a sound basis for graduate studies in areas related to law: history, philosophy, political science, and sociology, among others. And for students who choose to pursue the study of law in a professional school of law, the curriculum can offer a sound background. Students may select Law and Society as a major with the departments of Anthropology, Economics, History, Philosophy, Political Science, Psychology, and Sociology.

Major
Liberal Studies is the major of choice for students interested in careers in elementary school education. Under the federal legislation No Child Left Behind all prospective teachers must be highly qualified by demonstrating proficiency in their subject matter. The Liberal Studies major includes a core of lower-division courses designed to provide students with broad subject matter coverage to give them the foundation needed to pass the CSET and enable them to be well-prepared to teach. The five upper-division tracks allow students to build upon their strengths and interests and at the same time provide them with a connection to the core Education courses.

The Interdepartmental Graduate Program in Management offers both the Master of Arts (M.A.) degree and the Doctor of Philosophy Degree (Ph.D.). Admission Applications for the traditional M.B.A. program are accepted for fall, winter, and spring entry. The program is open to eligible students from all undergraduate majors. Quantitative methods (business calculus, statistics, linear algebra) is a prerequisite to the program. Qualified students who have not taken this prerequisite course may be admitted, but must meet this requirement during their first two quarters in residence. Admission to the graduate program is based on several criteria including the quality of previous academic work, scores on the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) or General Record Examination (GRE), letters of recommendation, and managerial experience. Applications for the M.P.Ac. program are accepted for the Fall quarter. Applications for the M.Fin. program are accepted for the Fall quarter. Coursework for the M.P.Ac. program is expected to be completed in one academic year. Applications for the Executive M.B.A. program are no longer accepted. Course Work The M.B.A. program can be completed in two years on a full-time basis or in three to four years on a part-time basis. In the 80-unit program (20 courses), all students take 36 units in a common body of knowledge that consists of courses in quantitative analysis, managerial economics, financial accounting, finance, operations and management science, information systems, organizational behavior and theory, strategic management, and marketing management. Thereafter, students complete a required internship, 28-36 units selected from electives, a management synthesis course, and a thesis or an industrybased case project (in the management synthesis class MGT 238). All students must complete a non-degree credit workshop in communications, leadership, teams, and ethics. Electives are selected with the assistance of a faculty advisor to meet individual educational and career goals. Electives are offered in areas such as accounting, entrepreneurial management, finance, human resources management, international management, management science, management information systems, marketing, and production and operations management. The program is flexible to meet individual student interests, and students are also encouraged to take courses in related disciplines such as economics, statistics, computer science, and sociology. Normative Time to Degree 7 quarters - M.B.A.; 6 quarters - M.Fin. and M.P.Ac.

Doctoral Degree
The Interdepartmental Graduate Program in Management offers both the Master of Arts (M.A.) degree and the Doctor of Philosophy Degree (Ph.D.). See Interdepartmental Graduate Program in Management in this section of the catalog.
Plan II (Comprehensive Examination) The M.A. Degree, Plan II, requires completing a minimum of 36 units of approved graduate-level course work and passing the comprehensive examination at least at the M.A. level. The comprehensive examination will be prepared and administered by the Graduate Examination Committee. The comprehensive examination will cover a broad range of topics chosen from the core research, major field, and elective graduate courses taken by the student in their first two years of study. Students must be in residence for 3 quarters. UCR will not award M.A. degrees to students already possessing an M.A. in Management. For the Ph.D. degree, students must satisfy all requirements for the M.A. degree, complete additional Ph.D. course requirements, fulfill the university residency requirement of 6 quarters, have an overall GPA of 3.0, pass the Ph.D. qualifying exam, successfully defend their dissertation, and have an approved dissertation. Required/Elective Courses & Required Research Required Research Methods Courses (5 courses) Required Field Seminars (4 seminars) Basic Discipline Courses (3 courses) Electives (4 courses) Field Colloquium (required until the student advances to Ph.D. candidacy) First Year Research Paper This program consists of a total of 16 courses and a field colloquium course each quarter until the student advances to candidacy. Each of these requirements is detailed below. Required Research Methods Courses (5 courses) The required research methods courses are intended to provide the student with a strong foundation in research methodology. All students, regardless of major field area, will choose from the same pool of potential core research courses. The student typically takes one or two courses covering traditional statistical methods, and two or three courses covering more advanced topics. Students who wish to have courses waived must first obtain the approval of the Graduate Advisor and then the Graduate Dean. Required Field Seminars (4 seminars) Ph.D. students are required to complete a set of four field seminars in their major field area (either Marketing or SMO). For each major field area, two field seminars are taught each year. A given field seminar is taught every other year. Thus, in the first two years of study, a Marketing or SMO Ph.D. student would take all four field seminars in their area of study. Basic Discipline Courses (3 courses) It is important that Ph.D. students develop a deep understanding of a basic discipline related to their major field area. Thus, students are required to complete three graduate-level courses from a department outside of SoBA. Courses eligible for the basic discipline course requirement include: a) any of the research methods courses not taken to meet the
research methods requirement, b) any of the courses listed as an approved elective, or c) any other graduate-level course or independent study approved by the Graduate Advisor. Electives (4 courses) Four additional graduatelevel elective courses are required. Courses eligible as electives include: a) any of the research methods courses not taken to meet the research methods requirement, b) any of the courses listed as approved elective, c) a Field Seminar from a different major field area, or d) any other graduate level course or independent study approved by the Graduate Advisor. Field Colloquium (required until the student advances to Ph.D. candidacy) It is essential that Ph.D. students actively participate in the intellectual life of the school. To facilitate this, field colloquia will be offered each quarter, and Ph.D. students will be required to formally participate in these field colloquia for course credit until they pass their dissertation proposal defense and advance to Ph.D. candidacy. First Year Research Paper Ph.D. students must complete a research paper of publishable quality during their first year. The students Faculty Advisor works with the student to develop the research topic, set expectations, and provide feedback. A three-person committee consisting of the students Faculty Advisor, plus two additional program faculty appointed by the Graduate Advisor, evaluates the submitted paper. Field Examinations (Comprehensive Examination) The comprehensive examination serves as both a major field examination, as well as an examination of topics covered in core research courses. Subsequent to the comprehensive examination, the Graduate Examination Committee will issue a grade of passing at the Ph.D. level, passing at the M.A. level, or failing. Students who pass the comprehensive examination at the Ph.D. level may receive an M.A. in Management (if they do not already hold an M.A. in Management), and will be permitted to continue with the Ph.D. program. If, in the first attempt, a student fails the comprehensive examination or passes at the M.A. level, he or she may retake the examination at the next scheduled comprehensive examination date. No more than two attempts to pass the comprehensive examination are allowed. Students who pass only at the M.A. level will be recommended for a Masters Degree (if they do not already hold an M.A. in Management), and will not be permitted to continue with the Ph.D. program. The comprehensive exam should be taken no later than the end of the sixth quarter. Qualifying Examinations (Dissertation Proposal Defense) When all requirements are completed, students take their oral qualifying exam, which is a defense of the dissertation proposal. Conducted by the Ph.D. Qualifying Committee, the exam is based upon the students dissertation proposal, and includes a broad inquiry into the students preparedness to conduct research and provides an opportunity to discuss the proposed dissertation. After completing the oral qualifying examination and all course requirements successfully, the

Major
Microorganisms play key roles in ecosystems and human civilization. They can both cause and prevent a wide array of diseases in animals and plants. They are key components in the manufacturing of bread, cheese, and other food products. Microbes are involved in soil formation, global environmental processes and detoxifying contaminated environments. In addition, they contain a wealth of useful compounds and enzymes for biotechnology. Students earning a degree will be prepared to continue studies at the graduate level, earn teaching credentials, or enter professional schools in medicine, pharmacy, optometry, dentistry, veterinary medicine, and clinical laboratory science among others. Students will also be trained for technical careers in medicine, agriculture, biotechnology and environmental fields. For information on how to select elective coursework for specific career paths, visit the CNAS Undergraduate Academic Advising Center. Students in the Microbiology major can obtain either B.A. or B.S. degrees. The B.S. degree offers students with a strong interest in the natural sciences an opportunity to emphasize this aspect of their education. The B.A. degree is available to students who wish to obtain a broader background in the humanities and social sciences than is required of students in the B.S. program.

Molecular and Cellular Microbiology Admission For admission into the graduate program in Microbiology, a student must have a B.A. or B.S. degree from an accredited institution and an academic record that satisfies the minimum admission standards established by the UCR Graduate Division. In addition, all applicants must submit results of the GRE General Test (verbal, quantitative and analytical) at the time of application. Although no specific undergraduate degree specialization is required, applicants should have an adequate background in the physical and biological sciences, including the following or equivalent courses: CHEM 001A, CHEM 001B, CHEM 001C (General Chemistry), CHEM 112A, CHEM 112B, CHEM 112C (Organic Chemistry), BCH 110A, BCH 110B (Biochemistry), MATH 009A, MATH 009B (Calculus), STAT 100A or STAT 120A (Statistics), BIOL 102 (Genetics), BIOL 121A/MCBL 121A, BIOL 121L/MCBL 121L (Microbiology), BIOL 107A or BCH 110C (Molecular Biology) This list is intended to represent the minimum background required for students wishing to pursue a graduate degree in Microbiology. Additional course work and laboratory experience in microbiology, biochemistry or genetics is highly desirable. However, upon the recommendation of the graduate advisory committee, occasionally a student may be admitted into the graduate program with one or more course work deficiencies; such students must satisfy these course work deficiencies usually within the first and no later than within the second year of graduate study. Course work The program is designed to prepare students for teaching and research careers in colleges and universities, as well as basic and applied research in private, industrial and government laboratories. To attain this goal, a three-tiered curriculum has been designed whereby students are expected to complete the following: 1. A core sequence of classes in microbiology: MCBL 201 (Functional Diversity of Prokaryotes) or MCBL 202 (Microbial Pathogenesis and Physiology), BIOL 221/ MCBL 221 (Microbial Genetics), and MCBL 211/SWSC 211 (Microbial Ecology) 2. A selection of elective courses in microbiology and other relevant fields chosen in consultation with the students major professor and the advisory committee in order to develop depth in particular areas of specialization 3. Research training in specific areas of microbiology The program stresses the importance of innovative and independent laboratory research as the major component of the students education. In addition to the above course work, students must attend one seminar per week each quarter in programs collaborating with Microbiology. Students are also required to present one seminar each year. These seminars can be either on the students
thesis research or related topics and can be presented in any of several program student seminar series. Upon entering the program, a student advisory committee is appointed for each student to help plan a program of study. The committee consists of the students major professor, who serves as chair, and two other professors from the program with expertise in the students area of interest. Graduate students must meet at least annually with their advisory committee to plan their courses; however, students are encouraged to meet with their committee more often. Minutes of the meeting, prepared by the chair, are approved by the rest of the committee and then placed in the students file. In addition, prior to advancement to candidacy, students present the advisory committee with a written summary of their research progress and plans at the beginning of each academic year.
Masters Degree
M.S. students must fulfill the requirements for Plan I (Thesis) of the Graduate Council. They must complete the core series of courses and three additional graduate level courses chosen in consultation with the student advisory committee. Plan I requires 36 units, of which 24 must be in graduate level courses. No more than 6 units of MCBL 290 level courses may be used to satisfy this unit requirement. The student must also submit an acceptable research thesis. The M.S. thesis committee, consisting of three members, which may be the same as the student advisory committee, is nominated by the graduate advisor after consultation with the student. The committee, once approved by the graduate dean, becomes responsible for the students academic guidance and evaluation. The masters degree is conferred at the end of the academic quarter in which all requirements have been satisfied. Normative Time to Degree 6 quarters
Notes:
1
Some students will take courses in summer session to (i) reduce the unit load during the normal academic year (ii) complete the degree requirements in less than four years or (iii) enable the acquisition of a minor or double major in four years. No more than 4 units can be applied toward the Major Electives unit requirement, unless approved by the Microbiology Steering Committee. No more than 4 units can be applied toward the Other Requirements unit requirement, unless approved by the Microbiology Steering Committee. Students are encouraged to take a class in ethics.
Doctoral Degree
Ph.D. students must meet all requirements of the Graduate Council. Students satisfactorily complete the core class requirements and a program of courses approved by the student advisory committee. The Ph.D. degree is awarded upon passing the preliminary and qualifying examinations and demonstrating an ability to carry out original research by preparing and submitting an acceptable dissertation. Students enrolled in the Ph.D. program are expected to become actively engaged in a research project no later than the end of their first year, and research progress is monitored by the students advisory committee until the student advances to candidacy and a dissertation committee is appointed. Preliminary Examination The preliminary examination, consisting of a written, comprehensive examination is based on general microbiology and required material in the students area of specialization. If a student fails this examination, the advisory committee recommends either additional course work in specific areas of weakness, transfer to a terminal M.S. degree program, or withdrawal from the program. The preliminary examination may only be repeated once and must be
Graduate Program

passed for the student to continue in the Ph.D. program. The preliminary examination is normally taken in the spring quarter of the second year. Oral Qualifying Examination After completion of the preliminary examination, the qualifying committee is established, and the oral qualifying examination is normally taken no later than the eighth quarter (year three) of academic work, not counting summer quarters. A qualifying committee is nominated by the graduate advisory committee and submitted to the graduate dean for approval. Suggestions of potential members of the qualifying committee may be submitted to the advisory committee by the student and the students major professor. The qualifying committee is composed of five faculty members: three with expertise in the area of specialization in microbiology, one representing a different area from microbiology, and one outside member. The students major professor may not serve on the qualifying committee. Prior to the oral qualifying examination, the student submits a written dissertation research proposal to the members of the qualifying committee. The oral examination covers the students area of specialization and research field and must be passed for the student to continue in the program. Upon successful completion of the qualifying examination, the student is advanced to candidacy. The qualifying examination may be repeated only once. Dissertation and Final Oral Examination The dissertation committee is nominated by the graduate advisor for approval by the graduate dean (upon successful completion of the qualifying examination) and is composed of the students major professor and at least two other faculty members suggested by the student and the students major professor. Before approval of the dissertation, the student is expected to present orally the dissertation research at an announced defense seminar.

Nematology is the study of roundworms, the most genetically diverse invertebrate phylum that occurs worldwide in virtually every environment. Only about 3 percent of all species have been studied or identified, and these include significant parasites of humans, animals, and plants. A primary mission of the Department of Nematology is to develop environmentally sound approaches to manage nematodes that worldwide cause nearly $100 billion annual damage to crops. Other objectives are to use nematodes that benefit agriculture and the environment as agents of nutrient cycling and soil fertility and for biological control of some insect pests. Additional objectives focus on nematodes as fundamental models for addressing basic biological questions in genetics, development, and molecular biology. The department offers graduate and postgraduate opportunities in biocontrol, ecology, genetics, molecular biology, physiology, and systematics. It offers specific expertise in applied nematode problems of subtropical and desert agriculture. A graduate program in Nematology is offered

Graduate Program
The multidisciplinary interdepartmental graduate program in Neuroscience offers instruction and research training leading to the Ph.D. degree in Neuroscience. A Thesis Plan (Plan I) or Non-Thesis Plan (Plan II) M.S. degree in Neuroscience is available under special circumstances, when the work leading to the Ph.D. degree cannot be completed. Whether either of these options is appropriate will be decided by the students Guidance Committee typically either at the end of the first year, or at the time of the qualifying examination. See General University requirements for Plan I and Plan II M.S. degrees: http://graduate.ucr.edu/masters.html. The goal of this program is to prepare students for careers in research, teaching and scientific administration. The program is aimed at providing high-quality graduate training for students who come from a variety of undergraduate backgrounds but share a commitment and an intense interest in nervous system research. Students are expected to learn the fundamentals of neuroscience, starting with a required core sequence, become knowledgeable concerning a range of research methods as taught in neuroscience laboratories and demonstrate capability in original research. Graduate student training reflects the research competence and specialties of the faculty. That is, the specific research training received by a graduate student is the responsibility of the major professor/mentor in whose laboratory the student carries out the research projects leading to the degree. Students benefit from an interdisciplinary training approach, tailored by the major advisor but enriched by the readily available expertise and laboratory facilities of program faculty with backgrounds ranging from chemistry to psychology. Current UCR Neuroscience faculty have major appointments in several different departments but have a considerable degree of common interest in research problems and techniques. Furthermore, the three chief levels of analysis at which nervous systems are currently studied (molecular/cellular, systems, and behavioral) are more or less evenly represented by the interests and expertise of the faculty. Some faculty, as may be expected, carry out research programs that combine two or more of these levels of analysis. These levels of analysis,

The Philosophy major is designed to introduce students to the important issues and arguments surrounding such subjects as morality, knowledge, the nature of the mind and of the physical world, science, and language. The program provides a rigorous background in the history of Western philosophy, and studies contemporary approaches (both analytic and Continental) to philosophical issues. The B.A. degree in Philosophy prepares students for graduate study in philosophy, and is also excellent preparation for law school. For students interested in a double major, philosophy also serves as an excellent complement to psychology, mathematics, political science, and the natural sciences. The Philosophy/Law and Society major is open to undergraduate students with junior standing who have completed LWSO 100 with a grade of C or higher. The major offers students a means of understanding complex relationships between social institutions and provides a strong basis for graduate studies in areas related to law and philosophy. The Philosophy/ Law and Society curriculum is sound background for students planning on pursuing the study of law.
Administered through the Interdisciplinary Studies Office, the Peace and Conflict Studies Minor provides opportunities for undergraduate students to give sustained attention to the diverse origins and expressions of conflict, to models for resolution advised by scholars and practitioners, to proactive peacemaking through the investigative and creative strategies fostered in higher education.

Graduate Program
The Department of Psychology offers the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in Psychology; however, applications are not accepted from students wishing to work towards the masters degree only. Graduate training in Psychology is offered in four major areas: Cognitive, Social/Personality, Developmental, and Systems Neuroscience. Admission Students are normally expected to have completed the equivalent of an undergraduate major in Psychology at the UC, with background preparation in basic science and mathematics. Applicants for graduate status must provide scores for the GRE General Test (verbal and quantitative) prior to admission. The Ph.D. degree is a research degree. Students must demonstrate the ability to complete rigorous empirical research and must be active in research throughout their graduate career. The course requirements in the Ph.D. program are directed toward establishing a foundation for critical evaluation of research literature and designing conceptually important empirical research.
The Psychology Department requires that each student earn a B average in the PSYC 211, PSYC 212, and PSYC 213 sequence and in the students area core courses, with no grade lower than a B-. In addition, students must be enrolled in the appropriate area of Proseminar every quarter until advancement to candidacy: Cognitive: PSYC 283 Developmental: PSYC 284 Social/Personality: PSYC 285 Neuroscience: PSYC 251 or PSYC 263 or PSYC 287 or PSYC 289 Progress in the program is formally evaluated in June of each year and informally on a continuing basis by noting participation in class and in research. All students in the graduate program are held to these requirements whether or not they have taken graduate work at, or hold an M.A. from, another institution. The only exception may be for previously-taken graduate-level course work which is thought to be equivalent to one or more of PSYC 211, PSYC 212, or PSYC 213. If a grade of B or better was received, and with the approval of the advisor, the student may be tested by a departmental instructor of the course(s) in question. On the basis of the results of the test, the instructor decides if the course can be waived. Masters Degree Although there is not a separate terminal masters program, students may apply for the masters degree at the beginning of the quarter in which they expect to complete the statistical sequence, the appropriate area core, two of the five further study courses, PSYC 301 (see 1, 2, 3, and 4 above), and a minimum of 36 units in graduate status (of which at least 18 must be in graduate course work) and pass an oral comprehensive examination administered by the Psychology Department. Teaching Experience Each student must gain experience in a teaching capacity for the equivalent of at least three full quarters. Teaching assistants assist a faculty member in an undergraduate course by preparing and grading examinations, reading papers, lecturing, and conducting discussion and laboratory sections. Written and Oral Qualifying Examinations The qualifying examination should be taken during the third year of full-time graduate study. It consists of a written component and an oral examination, and focuses on the subject matter in the students chosen area of concentration. A qualifying committee should be nominated early in the third year, and all core and breadth requirements must be completed no later than the quarter in which the qualifying examination is taken. On the basis of this examination (and completion of the core and breadth requirements), the student may pass and be advanced to candidacy for the Ph.D.; fail, and be permitted one retake; be awarded the M.A. (if not previously awarded) but not be advanced to candidacy for the Ph.D.; or not be awarded

Majoring in Religious Studies can be an excellent preparation for living in a multicultural society and for a variety of careers, such as teaching, counseling, business, law, writing, the arts, and professional religious leadership. Religious Studies at UCR develops in students a variety of valuable and transferable skills. These include disciplined attention to the facts (texts, ideas, history, behavior); critical reflection and analysis about claims of meaning and value and about assumptions and methods used in the study of religion; and descriptive and analytical writing about religious history, ideas, motivations, practices, and ethical concerns. A minor in Religious Studies is also available. Students are encouraged to consult with the department chair and other faculty about their questions and interests. The Holstein Family and Community Chair in Religious Studies The Holstein Family and Community Chair in Religious Studies is an endowed faculty chair, the result of a generous contribution given by the Robert and Loretta Holstein family and by friends of the Holstein family and the university. Dr. Ivan Strenski, the chair, is a distinguished scholar and teacher whose work engages thought on the interactions of religions and cultures as these are manifested in cultural, social, ethical, and historical debates.

The M.A. program allows students to explore the academic study of religions broadly and is for students who wish to expand their study of religions in an academic environment but may not yet wish to pursue a career in academia. Admission Although an undergraduate major in religious studies is not required for admission into the graduate program, applicants should demonstrate significant interest in and background in the academic study of religions and the appropriate scholarly approaches to religious studies. Applicants to the masters program must demonstrate scholarly acuity, as well as interest in the critical questions of the discipline of religious studies. Given the broader scope of the masters program, applicants to this degree program do not need to specify a particular field of study they wish to pursue in the program. Course work Candidates must complete a minimum of 36 units for the degree; 18 of the 36 units must be 200-level courses. Twelve units comprise the three core courses required of all graduate students (RLST 200A, RLST 200B, RLST 200C), preferably completed in the first year of study. The remaining units should be from among the religious studies graduate offerings; additional course work in related areas (e.g., history, anthropology, philosophy, comparative literature) are encouraged as time and workload permit. Some entering students may also be encouraged to take graduate-level survey courses in Asian or Western or Native American religious traditions. Comprehensive Examinations In the final quarter of their program, masters students complete a series of comprehensive written examinations that are designed by the department and administered by a masters examination committee. These examinations test the students knowledge of specific fields of study as well as the areas of critical inquiry that serve as the methodological focus of the program. Foreign Language Requirement Students must demonstrate reading proficiency in either French or German, the languages in which much modern secondary scholarship in the discipline has been written. Students may petition to substitute either another modern language of secondary scholarship or a language or primary research if it is deemed more immediately relevant to their studies. This requirement can be fulfilled through a departmental examination, by passing a designated language course (FREN 009A, FREN 009B, GER 002R), or by alternative certification (such as a diploma from a foreign language institute). Normative Time to Degree 6 quarters.

Graduate Program
The Masters Program in Southeast Asian Studies is an interdepartmental program centered on the study of the arts and cultures of Southeast Asia and its diasporas. To understand Southeast Asia as a region, students need to make sense of and engage with its diverse expressive forms of culture (including visual arts, literature, and performance) which are crucial in building and maintaining individual as well as group identity both within and across national or ethnic boundaries. This program is designed for students with a strong interest in Southeast Asia, including those already admitted or enrolled in another graduate program. Students can be concurrently enrolled in both the Southeast Asian Studies M.A. program and another graduate degree program. Admission All applicants must fulfill the standard admission requirements as established by the Graduate Division. Additionally, applicants must submit a Statement of Purpose to indicate a serious interest in Southeast Asian Studies (or a specific country or area in this region) as well as a writing sample (such as a past term paper or course essay) to demonstrate basic skills of scholarship. Foreign Language Students must acquire (or increase) a distinct level of proficiency in at least one language relevant to Southeast Asian Studies prior to beginning research for the thesis and no later than the fifth quarter in the program. The required proficiency can be demonstrated by way of an exam or by completing one year of course work with a B or better. International students from Southeast Asia may use their native language to fulfill this requirement.

Major
The Department of Theatre offers a B.A. in Theatre. The major focuses on three broad areas of theatre its literature, history, and criticism; performance, design, direction, and technology; and the elements of production. Students have the opportunity to write, perform, direct, and design. Four stages are available for rehearsals and performances: the 500-seat proscenium University Theatre, the new 150seat Studio Theatre in the Arts building with state-of-the-moment equipment for facilities, the 120-seat Rehearsal Lab, and the 50-seat Barn Theatre. Students are able to practice acting in facultydirected shows, student productions, and class presentations. Special projects and studies are offered for advanced students to produce an original work or to study in more depth acting, directing, scenic design, or playwriting. As part of the Theatre Departments ongoing goal to provide a comprehensive and worldclass program in the performing arts, a new Film Making Track has been created for students who are primarily interested in pursuing the goal of becoming filmmakers. In addition to taking classes in filmmaking, screenwriting, acting, and technology, students will also take classes in literature and theory as requirements rather than having to fit them in as often unavailable electives. Student assistantships, work-study, Gluck Fellowships, and scholarships such as the Chancellors Performance Award are available to students. For further information, call the Theatre Department, (951) 827-5568.

Lower-Division Honors
This component is divided into two opportunities. Admission to the First Year component of lower-division honors is based on an application, essay, high school grades, aptitude scores and achievement test scores. Students take honors courses and participate in workshops, personal growth, and community service activities. First-year courses encourage innovative approaches to introductory courses and provide an avenue for faculty to present topics in a multidisciplinary approach that ignite the students minds in regards to how research is conducted. A goal of Honors courses is to expose students to methods of conceptualizing issues and framing questions that characterize disciplines.

Upper-Division Honors
The upper-division curriculum provides students with the framework to produce a thesis or project, a substantial, independent product of scholarship, research, or creative activity. This structure is adaptable to almost any major and allows each student the flexibility to work with a faculty advisor to shape a research program to meet the ambitions of the project. We have excellent student-faculty research and leadership opportunities for juniors and seniors participating in UpperDivision Honors. Continuing UCR students with an excellent academic record may apply to participate in upper-division honors whether or not they completed lower-division honors. Students who transfer to UCR as juniors with excellent academic records may also apply to the upper-division UHP. During the junior year, students narrow their research or leadership focus, select a faculty mentor, and prepare to undertake the honors project. The program provides support in all phases of this planning. The honors project is usually undertaken in the first two quarters of the senior year and is completed well before graduation. The completed thesis or project is submitted to the faculty mentor for approval. The approved thesis or project, a cumulative GPA of 3.4 in the major, and an upper-division GPA of at least 3.50 qualify the student for graduation with upper-division honors. The honors designation appears on the official transcript.
