Because the professional schools in the University are closely Aintegrated into the wider University, their programs are briefly described here. However, an individual issue of the Announcements is available from each profes sional school, describing its programs and requirements in detail. This volume is organized in a way that reflects the organization and functioning of the University. Each department or degree granting committee in the divisions of the University conducts its own admissions and aid competition, and sets its own degree requirements within a framework that is set by the University and by each division. However, divisions and departments engage in a substantial number of cooperative efforts, as evidenced by the large number of interdepartmental and interdivisional programs, committees, centers, and research groups in the University. Therefore, this volume contains a section for each division, and a sepa rate section for interdivisional programs, centers, committees, and other organiza tions in which students may participate and, in some cases, earn a degree. The intro ductory section, which you are now reading, contains information about the University that is relevant to all students and applicants. A final section contains information for those interested in one of the professional schools. Readers of these Announcements are advised that the policies and degree require ments of academic units that are set forth herein may change at any time without prior notice, or may represent a summary of more detailed policies and require ments. Students and applicants who wish the most up to date information regard ing courses and degree requirements should contact the department or the dean of students in the relevant division. The provisions of these Announcements are for informational purposes only and are not intended to create a contract or agreement between the University and any applicant or student.
