History The Dominican Sisters of Newburgh established Mount Saint Mary College in 1959. The college grew out of the Dominican Sisters’ school for teacher training, founded in 1930. Since opening its doors in 1960, the college’s goals have been the pursuit and dissemination of truth and the development of the capacity to discern and use it. Mount Saint Mary College maintains a fi rm belief in the value of a liberal arts education and a commitment to the Judeo-Christian traditions upon which it was founded. It retains the spirit of the intellectual, cultural, ethical, spiritual and social philosophies of its founders. The college remains on sound footing, supported by meaningful academic programs, prudent fi scal management and a commitment to serving the Mid-Hudson Valley. Mount Saint Mary College has a respected position in the region. Preamble Mount Saint Mary College is an institution of higher education guided by the Catholic and Dominican traditions of academic rigor, pursuit of truth, social justice, leadership and service. The College Bylaws indicate that Mount Saint Mary College “aims to give its students a Catholic cultural-professional education in the liberal arts tradition.” This distinctive approach provides the philosophy for our commitment to educating the whole person and to cultivating intellectual achievement, religious and spiritual growth, and the development of moral character. Consistent with these principles, Mount Saint Mary College endeavors to graduate students who • are inquisitive and value the free exchange of ideas in pursuit of truth • are analytical in their approach to problem solving • are motivated toward self-improvement

8 • have developed an aesthetic sense • possess effective leadership and communication skills • respect the values and ethics of the Catholic and Dominican traditions • embrace civic responsibility and community service The deepening of Mount Saint Mary College’s commitment to these principles will involve the leadership efforts of the entire college community, within a culture of academic excellence. The College’s Strategic Plan aims to advance our legacy of excellence, leadership and service in light of our brand identity as a Catholic and Dominican college, as communicated in our name and through the college’s motto “Doce Me Veritatem” (Teach Me the Truth). The Plan will augment our attributes, shaped by signature programs, and demonstrated by Mount students and graduates who think critically, communicate effectively, and exemplify virtues of leadership and service. Mission As refl ected in its motto “Doce Me Veritatem” (Teach Me the Truth) Mount Saint Mary College, founded by the Dominican Sisters of Newburgh, is an independent, coeducational institution committed to providing students with a liberal arts education to prepare them for lives of leadership and service. Through a variety of majors and professional programs, students are also prepared for career entry or graduate and professional studies.

10 STUDENT LIFE Mount Saint Mary College recognizes each student’s right to an education that extends beyond the classroom into all areas of experience. The college provides a rich opportunity for positive growth, personal enjoyment and individual fulfi llment. Student Development College is more than classes, tests and term papers. Each person’s college experience involves learning to think, explore, question, understand and cope. Programs and services within Student Development have been designed to support the personal growth and development of every student, and to enhance and complement the academic programs of the institution. Those who are responsible for providing support services and activities in the student affairs area attempt to: • assist each student to reach his/her potential; • provide services necessary to enable students to pursue their academic programs; • work closely with faculty and other personnel to develop an atmosphere conducive to intellectual growth; • coordinate an active extracurricular program that provides ample opportunities for involvement by students of diverse interests; and • implement a student development program that will enable students to develop interpersonal and leadership skills. The Dean of Students assumes responsibility for the overall management of the student development program and its staff. Often, the Dean serves as an adviser to students on an individual and group basis. The Dean works with student leaders and other college offi cials to develop appropriate student life policies and procedures. The Associate Dean of Students serves as the chief advisor to the Dean of Students assisting with the supervision of the student development division. The Associate Dean works to strengthen collaborative efforts between student development and academic affairs by designing and implementing retention programs targeted to the social and academic needs of students. The Associate Dean cultivates the student leadership pool through curriculum infusion of both ethical and principled leadership development opportunities on-campus as well as service leadership activities off-campus. Student Government The Student Government Association is the legislative body for student life. It can recommend policy changes to the Dean of Students and the President of the College. The Director of Student Activities advises the Student Government Association. Student representatives sit on major faculty committees and participate in ad hoc committees formed during the year. Student Activities Working with the Director of Student Activities, Student Government plans and implements a variety of activities including fi lms, trips, plays, mixers, dinner dances, coffeehouses, lectures, the campus newspaper (The Clarion) and yearbook (Thyme). The Activity Fee is used to sponsor these events. The Student Life Center, located in Hudson Hall, is a focal point for Student Activities and events. The center includes the Student Government and student publications offi ces, an auditorium, as well as meeting rooms and lounges. Food service is also available.

11 The college provides a shuttle to transport students to local shopping areas and the Beacon Train Station. The shuttle is available on a fi rst-come, fi rst-served basis, with a Mount identifi cation card. Students may access the shuttle schedule by dialing the Student Activities Hotline (845-569-3117). The Mount has 12 honor societies: Alpha Chi, Alpha Sigma Lambda, Beta Beta Beta, Delta Mu Delta, Gamma Sigma Epsilon, Kappa Delta Pi, Lambda Pi Eta, Phi Alpha Theta, Psi Chi, Sigma Tau Delta, Sigma Tau Delta and Sigma Theta Tau. (See Honor Societies under Academic Information for descriptions.) The college also has academic departmental clubs. Involvement in extracurricular activities provides students with an opportunity to put classroom theory in practice, thus contributing to a well-rounded education. Students have the opportunity and are encouraged to participate in and contribute to all aspects of campus life. Athletics The Mount Saint Mary College Department of Athletics and Recreation aims to cultivate students’ physical and personal development, enrich academic learning and foster a sense of community on campus. The department provides a competitive intercollegiate athletics program as well as comprehensive intramural and recreational opportunities. Athletics and Physical Education encourages individuals to develop a lifelong learning pattern of positive recreational activities.

The college is also actively exploring the possibility of adding men’s and women’s crew in the near future. Mount Saint Mary College is a member of the Skyline Athletic Conference. Recreational and intramural opportunities are available for the enjoyment of the entire college community. Events such as basketball, volleyball, indoor soccer, fl ag football, dodge ball, aerobics, and yoga are just a few of the many opportunities that students can choose from. We also sponsor events off campus such as trips to college intercollegiate events, hiking trips, and bowling nights and we are exploring the possibility of competing with area colleges in our many intramural events. The Elaine and William Kaplan Recreation Center is a major focal point for athletics and recreational activities. The facility includes a large gymnasium that includes three usable basketball courts and a volleyball court, an elevated running track, a pool, a cardio and free weight work out rooms, an aerobics room, locker rooms as well as a lounge, meeting rooms and classrooms.

We also have a multi-purpose court that is used for recreational basketball and tennis. Residence Life Residential living at the college is an important part of a student’s education. Residents live with other students in a community setting, learning to grow and learn from a diversity of backgrounds. The college’s residential staff is available to aid students in this part of their

12 education, helping to make life in the residence hall community pleasant, productive and rewarding. The college has 11 residences ranging in size from 12 to 252 residents. Specifi c buildings are reserved for freshmen. Freshmen students must abide by the regulations consistent with their living arrangements; these emphasize learning to adjust to group living away from home and to accept the responsibilities of being a college student. The Director of Residence Life and the Residence Life Staff are responsible for the development of the residential living program. They plan, implement and enforce rules pertaining to life on campus. The Resident Living Council is a student group that acts as a liaison between residents and the Residence Life Department. Members of RLC participate in policy and program planning. RLC acts as liaison with the residents and is composed of elected students from the residential community. Most rooms in the residence halls are double occupancy with some students living in triple occupancy rooms. Single rooms are available, on a limited basis, to upper-class students. The Mount offers a variety of residential facilities. The college has both co-ed and single-gender housing. Residents are required to sign a housing agreement before occupancy. Resident students can access the campus-wide computer network, online library resources, e-mail and the Internet from residence halls and other areas of the campus via the Wireless Academic Network. Participation in the WAN requires a compatible personal computer and a wireless network card, available through the Campus Store. Commuter Life Almost half of the student body consists of commuting students. There is a Commuter Council elected by the commuting students. Student activities, health services and counseling are available to all students, and commuting students participate in all programs and extracurricular activities. The MSMC Cultural Center Mount Saint Mary College is home to one of the oldest and largest private artistic theatres in the mid-Hudson region. Its history of offering drama, dance and musical programs featuring renowned artists goes back to the founding days of the college. The college offers cultural programs for students, children and the community-at-large.

13 Health Services The Health Services Offi ce provides a number of services to students. The Health Service Fee covers routine in-offi ce care, in-stock prescription and over-the- counter medications. Prescription medications have a small co-pay billed to the student’s account.

The insurance plan provides coverage 24 hours a day, whether the student is in college activities, vacationing or traveling, including air travel as a passenger on scheduled airlines. Limit: $2,000. Health Services has a clinic with registered nurses, nurse practitioners and two consulting physicians. The clinic provides acute health care while the student is on campus. The offi ce provides information on current health issues and refers students to appropriate off-campus medical facilities. The college is within four blocks of St. Luke’s Cornwall Hospital. Health Services maintains student health records. The MSMC Health Form, sent to all newly accepted students who have paid deposits, should be completed and returned to Health Services before they register. The college requires full-time students to submit documentation of a current physical and PPD (TB test), which can be recorded on the health form. Health Services offers wellness physicals, by appointment and for a fee, at the start of each semester. All students must submit immunization records. They may submit an offi cial immunization record from their health care provider or complete a MSMC Immunization Record; a health care practitioner must sign the immunization record. These records must be submitted before the beginning of the semester or session. Students who do not comply will be subject to withdrawal from the college (see Student Responsibilities under Academic Information). New York State Public Health Law 2167 requires all students to complete the meningococcal meningitis form stating that they either have had, want or waive this immunization. New York State Public Health Law 2165 requires all students born after January 1, 1957 to submit proof of immunity for measles, mumps and rubella. If a student does not have proof, he/she will need to either obtain two MMR vaccinations or obtain an MMR Titer (serologic evidence of immunity). Students should confer with their health care providers regarding their best options. For further information about Health Services, call 845-569-3152. Campus Ministry Campus Ministry builds and supports a community of believers through the works of charity and compassion, worship, and mutual support. This community seeks to live in harmony because of a common bond as children of a loving God. Students of all faiths fi nd a home in campus ministry. United in this fashion, this community seeks to enrich the campus culture through work and example and prayer. Rooted in a rich Dominican tradition, the Sacramental life of the Church is available to all Catholic students during the academic year.

14 A rich Dominican heritage informs the work and mission of Mount Saint Mary College.

The Higher Education Opportunity Program (HEOP) The Higher Education Opportunity Program is an academic and fi nancial support program that enables academically and economically disadvantaged New York State residents to obtain a degree at Mount Saint Mary College. HEOP is funded by New York State and Mount Saint Mary College. HEOP students are matriculated with the same responsibilities and benefi ts of all students attending Mount Saint Mary College. Students in this program must demonstrate potential and motivation for successful completion of undergraduate studies. Supportive services for all HEOP students include a mandatory six-week pre-freshman summer program designed to strengthen their skills in mathematics, science, literary analysis, writing, research skills and computer skills before the freshman year. During the academic year, students receive ongoing tutorial and counseling services. In addition, the program offers cultural enrichment programs, leadership training, developmental workshops and fi nancial assistance. Counseling Counseling services are available for students facing emotional, interpersonal or other diffi culties that may hinder their ability to succeed in academics and/or personal development. Counseling services are confi dential and free of charge and are usually short-term and problem-solving in nature. If students prefer to seek assistance off campus, or if they need services the Counseling Center cannot provide, counseling staff can make referrals for off-campus agencies. The Counseling Center also offers workshops and training programs on mental health issues commonly faced by college students. Some common topics include stress management, eating disorders, assertiveness training and relationship issues. General Policies and Regulations Students are expected to abide by the regulations stated in this catalog, the Student Handbook and any other college publications. A campus-wide judicial system exists to deal with violations of college regulations. Violations of college regulations may result in penalties up to and including suspension or dismissal from the college. Security-Safety Mount Saint Mary College is committed to providing a safe campus for the college community. We employ our own licensed, professional Security-Safety Department which patrols the campus 24 hours per day. The Security-Safety Offi ce distributes to all

15 students and employees a campus security report that outlines campus security-safety services and policies, offers safety advice and provides campus crime statistics. The college maintains an Advisory Committee on Campus Safety that meets regularly to review campus security policy and to make recommendations. The Advisory Committee on Campus Safety will provide upon request all campus crimes statistics as reported to the U.S. Department of Education. These statistics are also available on the Department of Education’s website: http://ope.ed.gov/security. For further information, contact the Director of Security-Safety at 845-569-3597. Sexual Assault Rape or any sex offense, and any form of sexual harassment are serious offenses that have no place in our society. The college is concerned about the personal safety and welfare of its entire community and strongly urges the reporting of any such cases. Rape and other sex offenses are illegal in New York State under Sections 130.00-130.96 of the Penal Law and may be prosecuted in a court of law. Those who feel that they are victims of a sex offense may fi le a complaint with the City of Newburgh police or other appropriate law enforcement agency and are encouraged to inform the college. Policy on Sexual Harassment Mount Saint Mary College seeks to maintain a learning and work environment free from sexual harassment. Sexual harassment is an unacceptable impediment to the educational and scholarly purposes of the college. It subverts the mission of the college and threatens the careers, educational experiences, and well-being of students, faculty, administration and staff. Sexual harassment in the workplace is a violation of Section 703 of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as amended (42 U.S.C., section 2000e-2). It is also a violation of the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972. Sexual harassment of students can be seen as a violation of Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972. Behaviors that inappropriately assert sexuality as relevant to employee or student performance are damaging to the college environment and will not be tolerated in the college community. Sexual harassment is especially serious when it threatens relationships between teacher and student or supervisor and subordinate. In such situations, sexual harassment unfairly exploits the power inherent in a faculty member’s or supervisor’s position. While sexual harassment often takes place in situations of a power differential between the persons involved, the college recognizes that sexual harassment may also occur between persons of the same college status. The college will not tolerate behavior between or among any members of the college community that constitutes sexual harassment as defi ned below. Defi nition of Sexual Harassment The determination of what constitutes sexual harassment will vary with the particular circumstances. Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature constitute sexual harassment when: 1. submission to such conduct is made, either explicitly or implicitly, a term or condition of an individual’s employment, grade or education; 2. submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for employment, grade or education decisions affecting an individual; 3. such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual’s academic or work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, demeaning, or offensive working or educational environment.

16 Individuals seeking additional information on the college’s sexual harassment policy should refer to the student, faculty and employee handbooks. College Advancement, Alumni Affairs, and Annual Giving The Offi ce of College Advancement plans, directs and coordinates all activities related to philanthropic support of the college with internal and external audiences in support of institutional goals and priorities. These activities include securing unrestricted fi nancial support for annual operations and restricted fi nancial support for scholarships, programs, endowment and capital projects. The Offi ce of College Advancement includes the offi ces of Alumni Affairs and Annual Giving. The Offi ce of Alumni Affairs is the liaison between the college and all individuals who have been accepted for active, honorary and associate membership in the Mount Saint Mary College Alumni Association. It is responsible for the coordination of all communication, events and activities relating to alumni. The Offi ce of Annual Giving is responsible for efforts to secure unrestricted operating support through the MSMC Annual Fund as well as restricted support for scholarships and programs.

These competencies will be determined by satisfactory achievement on screening tests to be given after acceptance into the college. However, SAT scores of incoming students will be used as an initial screening to identify which students need to complete the screening tests. Transfer students who have completed courses with a C or better that address these

22 competencies need not be tested. Any student who does not meet these standards will be required to take the appropriate measures and demonstrate competency in these areas.

All U.S. Citizens and eligible non-citizens will be considered for fi nancial aid if they fi le a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Transfer students or returning students who are in default of a federal loan or owe a repayment on any federal funds are ineligible for fi nancial aid from any source until the default or repayment is resolved.

The notifi cation will include a request for additional documentation such as signed copies’ of the family’s federal income tax returns and W-2 forms. Failure to submit requested documentation by the due date indicated will result in cancellation of all offered awards. Please note: All applicants are considered for all aid available, depending upon need, including federal, state, and institutional funds on a fi rst-come, fi rst-served basis, once they are admitted to the college. First-year students are advised to fi le the required forms no later than February 15 of the year enrollment is anticipated. Returning students are encouraged to fi le the FAFSA or Renewal FAFSA no later than April 15. Responsibilities of Students Who Receive Financial Aid Since fi nancial need is considered when the amount of a student’s award is determined, it is the responsibility of the applicant to report promptly to the Financial Aid Offi ce any awards made available to him/her from sources other than the college. This includes scholarships, state incentives, veteran’s benefi ts, grants, etc. The fi nancial aid “package” previously awarded will be reviewed and may require adjustments if the student’s fi nancial need is exceeded. Students must maintain satisfactory academic progress to continue to be eligible for state and federal funds. Students who are placed on second probation are not eligible for fi nancial aid, which includes federal Stafford Loans and federal Parent Plus Loans. Students who are academically dismissed and subsequently readmitted upon academic appeal are not eligible for fi nancial aid including federal Stafford Loans and federal Parent Plus Loans. The Mount’s Academic Standards are published in the college catalog and the Student Handbook. Students who are placed on second probation may write a letter to the Director of Financial Aid requesting a one-time waiver. Waivers will only be considered for mitigating circumstances; for instance, if a student becomes very ill or is severely injured, or if a member of the student’s immediate family dies. The Director of Financial Aid will require documentation and will make the waiver decision.

31 Financial aid payments will not be made until the add-drop period is completed. At that time, and on a rolling basis thereafter, aid will be credited to student accounts. Stafford Loans are credited upon receipt of electronic funds or endorsement of the check by the student. Refunds are disbursed to the student when fi nancial aid exceeds the charges. INSTITUTIONAL AWARDS Scholarship Criteria MSMC Presidential Scholarships and Merit Awards are awarded to fi rst-time freshmen, are competitive, are limited in number and may be applied to undergraduate tuition only. Consideration for these awards is based on combined SAT or ACT scores and high school GPA. To be considered for one of these awards, a student must be accepted for full-time enrollment in the traditional undergraduate program at Mount Saint Mary College. The college does not award athletic grants of any kind. MSMC Presidential Scholarships The Presidential Scholarship is an academic scholarship covering approximately 65% of tuition in the year of enrollment. This scholarship is renewable for three years provided the student remains a full-time student, registered for a minimum of 12 traditional credits each semester; maintains a 3.0 cumulative Grade Point Average; and remains in good social standing. Merit Awards Merit Awards are academic awards ranging from $2,000 to $10,000 per year. This grant is renewable for three years provided the student remains a full-time student, registered for a minimum of 12 traditional credits each semester; maintains a 2.5 cumulative Grade Point Average; and remains in good social standing. MSMC Need-Based Scholarships/Grants Scholarships and Grants are awarded on a competitive basis and may refl ect academic excellence, as well as demonstrated fi nancial need. The level of scholarship or grant assistance depends on the quality of the student’s academic record, the amount of fi nancial need, the availability of funds, and full-time traditional enrollment. Amounts range from $1000-$5,000 per year and may be renewed so long as the student continues to demonstrate fi nancial need and remains in good academic standing. An MSMC Scholarship requires a 2.5 cumulative Grade Point Average and an MSMC Grant requires a 2.0 GPA for renewal. Donor Scholarships Mount Saint Mary College offers a number of private scholarships each year. Donor scholarships include: the Moira Rovere Bayer Scholarship, the Dominican Sisters Founders Scholarship, the Dominican Sisters of Hope Scholarship, the James and Mary Gilhooley Scholarship, the City of Newburgh Lions Club Scholarship, the Edith Lessor Scholarship, the Marissa Pica Scholarship and the Carolyn Rich Memorial Scholarship. Some are awarded to new students and some to returning students depending upon the criteria established by the donor. Recipients are generally selected on the basis of academic achievement, major, fi nancial need, and/or place of residence. NEW YORK STATE PROGRAMS The programs listed below are administered by the New York Higher Education Services Corporation (HESC):

32 Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) Students who are New York state residents and graduates of high schools in New York state may apply for TAP by completing the State’s TAP Application. This application will automatically be sent to students who have fi led the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. MSMC’s code should be listed as 2110 on the TAP Application. HESC determines each applicant’s eligibility and mails an award certifi cate directly to the applicant indicating the amount of this grant. Satisfactory Academic Progress for Determining Eligibility for State Student Aid: Payments Credits GPA First 0 0 Second 0 0 Third 9 1.0 Fourth 21 1.3 Fifth 33 2.0 Sixth 45 2.0 Seventh 60 2.0 Eighth 75 2.0 Ninth 90 2.0 Tenth 105 2.0 The TAP program was established by the New York State Legislature and is an entitlement program which means that if an applicant meets the criteria, he/she will receive an award at an approved institution within New York State. The minimum award has been as low as $100 per year and the maximum amount of this award at a private institution has been as high as $5,000 but depends upon the appropriation in the New York state budget approved by the legislature. After four semesters of payments, the award is reduced by $100. Students are limited to four years of eligibility and must be matriculated as a full-time student in an approved post-secondary program. Students enrolled in approved fi ve-year programs, or in a state-sponsored opportunity program, or who are disabled may receive fi ve years of awards for undergraduate study. Graduate students may receive awards for an additional two years. The minimum award for graduate students has been as low as $75 per year, and the maximum amount of this award, at a private institution, has been as high as $550. Though the Financial Aid Offi ce provides an estimate of eligibility, all income data are subject to verifi cation by the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance and HESC. Awards may be changed by the state based upon the result of this process. Actual payment of TAP arrives later in the semester after the college certifi es student eligibility. If a student repeats a course in which a passing grade has already been received, the course cannot be included as part of the student’s minimum full-time or part-time course load for fi nancial aid purposes. When such courses are included in meeting the minimum requirement, they render the student ineligible for TAP. In the following instances, repeated courses may count toward full-time or part-time study: 1. when a failed course is repeated; 2. when a grade received is passing at MSMC but not acceptable in a particular curriculum; 3. when a course is repeated and credit earned each time. Higher Education Opportunity Program (HEOP) To be determined eligible for HEOP, applicants must apply and provide the appropriate documents to the HEOP Offi ce at the Mount. Once selected and admitted, HEOP

33 participants may continue in the program until degree completion, with awards available for various periods depending on the duration of their academic program. All HEOP students must fi le the FAFSA to be considered for aid from HEOP as well as from other state and federally funded programs. The amount of fi nancial aid and other support provided depends upon a student’s fi nancial need. Recipients must meet requirements for academic progress determined by the college. Each recipient must also apply for TAP and follow through with the appropriate paperwork each year in order for funds to be disbursed. TAP is limited to fi ve years of eligibility for HEOP students. All students must achieve a 2.0 Grade Point Average by the end of their sophomore year to continue to receive TAP awards. Aid for Part-Time Study (APTS) Applicants who are enrolled for at least 6 credits but fewer than 12 credits each semester may apply for this state, campus-based grant program through the Financial Aid Offi ce. The maximum award is $2,000 per academic year. The number and amount of each award is determined by each college, based upon its annual allocation which varies. To retain the award, a student must maintain satisfactory academic progress in addition to fi ling an application each year and meeting the eligibility criteria. Applications are available in the Financial Aid Offi ce and must be returned along with copies of parent and student New York state tax returns. Vocational and Educational Services for Individuals with Disabilities Persons with disabilities may obtain a list of local VESID Offi ces from: New York State Education Department, Albany, NY 12234.

38 COLLABORATIVE PROGRAMS Mount Saint Mary College offers a number of programs in collaboration with other colleges/universities. The collaborating institutions have designed the programs to meet high quality and rigorous academic standards. MSMC academic divisions consider only exceptional students for inclusion in collaborative programs - students who indicate a capability for graduate studies before completion of undergraduate studies. Collaborative programs fall into two categories: articulation programs and affi liation programs. Articulation programs are agreements whereby the MSMC student completes undergraduate studies in less than the traditional four-year period and begins graduate studies toward an advanced degree in what would otherwise be the fourth or senior year. Affi liation programs are agreements whereby a graduate institution will give preferential admissions consideration to MSMC’s graduates who have met certain academic conditions. Counseling or Mental Health Counseling (master’s) (3/2 articulation) Students complete a dual/joint fi ve-year program leading to a bachelor’s in psychology or human services from Mount Saint Mary College and a master of science in counseling or mental health counseling from Pace University.

Various examinations are given to identify students’ aptitude for quantitative literacy. If students do not receive a satisfactory score on the placement test to take college-level mathematics course, they will be required to take MTH 0110 and /or MTH 0150. Both of these courses are 3-credit equivalent developmental courses and are not applicable to the degree. The remaining 3-credit general education requirement may be taken in either the Division of Natural Science (astronomy, biology, chemistry, earth science or physics) or the Division of Mathematics and Information Technology (the only CSC and CIT courses that count for general education are CSC 2180, CIT 1900 or CIT 2550). MST 101 can also count as the 3rd core course in mathematics and science. This General Education requirement can also be satisfi ed by completion of the three MST courses (MST 1010, MST 2010 and MST 2020). Taking two of the three courses will fulfi ll the laboratory science requirement. All three courses must be completed to fulfi ll both the mathematics and science requirements. This option is strongly advised for childhood education students. Division of Philosophy and Religious Studies (9 credits) A minimum of 3 credits in philosophy is required. The remaining 6-credit general education course requirement may be taken as follows: 6 credits in philosophy or religious studies; or 3 credits in philosophy and 3 credits in religious studies. Division of Social Sciences (9 credits) A minimum of one 3-credit course is required in history; any 1000-level course fulfi lls this requirement. The remaining 6 credits may be taken in the following areas so that within the total social science credits two areas are fulfi lled: anthropology, economics, geography, history, political science, psychology and sociology.

Successfully passing the college’s Computer Literacy Test.* e. Successful completion of MST 1010 (Math/Science/Technology I) f. Computer Information Technology majors satisfy their computer literacy with CIT 1100. * Note – the Computer Literacy Test may be taken only once. Students who do not pass this exam must satisfy the computer literacy requirement with one of the courses listed above. 6. Majors a. Bachelor of Arts: A major discipline of studies (“major”) leading to a bachelor of arts degree shall consist of not fewer than 20 and not more than 40 credits in an approved major subject over and above courses in that subject taken to meet general education requirements. Students enrolled in interdisciplinary programs may not exceed 48 credits in the component disciplines taken together over and above the general education requirements or 39 credits in any single component discipline. A minimum of 12 upper-level credits in the major subject (unless otherwise specifi ed by a particular major) must be completed at Mount Saint Mary College.

44 A student who exceeds, or plans to exceed, the 40-credit maximum must initiate a request for waiver (waiver form available in Registrar’s Offi ce) with an academic adviser. The adviser makes a recommendation and forwards the request to the division chair. The division chair makes a recommendation and forwards the request to the Academic Standards Committee for review and a decision. The committee can: 1. approve the overload without additional requirements; 2. disapprove the overload 3. require the student to take additional non-major courses equivalent to or less than the overload within the major. Graduation credits would be 120 plus major overload credits not waived. b. Bachelor of Science: A major leading to a bachelor of science degree shall consist of not fewer than 20 and not more than 50 credits in an approved major subject over and above courses in that subject taken to meet general education requirements. A minimum of 12 upper-level credits, in the major subject, as specifi ed by the division, must be completed at Mount Saint Mary College. c. A major leading to a bachelor of science degree in education for the education curriculum shall consist of not fewer than 20 and not more than 40 credits in an approved major subject over and above courses in that subject taken to meet general education requirements. A minimum of 12 upper-level credits, in the major, as specifi ed by the division, must be completed at Mount Saint Mary College. In addition, the student must have completed 60-89 liberal arts and science credits and have a minimum of 18 credits in approved education courses. d. For a major to be recorded on the transcript, a student must have a minimum 2.0 Grade Point Average, calculated from all required courses contributing to the major. 7. Minors A minor area of studies is not required for the baccalaureate degree. However, a student may elect a minor area of studies. A minor area of studies constitutes a group of courses amounting to at least 18 credits in a particular discipline. The following college policy applies to all minors: a. At least 9 credits to be used toward a minor must have been taken at Mount Saint Mary College. b. A student must have a 2.0 Grade Point Average in a discipline for it to be recorded as a minor. c. Courses already counted toward a major may not also constitute part of a minor. Not all academic divisions offer a minor. Students should refer to the information found under each of the Mount’s eight academic divisions to determine the areas that offer a minor and the guidelines established for the minor. It is advisable that the student consult with a member of the faculty in the area in which the individual wishes to minor when initially planning the program.

45 8. Electives Completion of a suffi cient number of free electives is required to bring the total course work to 120 semester hours or to 128 semester hours for the medical technology program. In this category the student should seek advice and guidance from members of the faculty, but the student is free to select course work provided that free electives shall not be used to increase the work in the major subject beyond the maximum limit set under the major and that not more than 20 elective credits be at the 1000 level. The maximum number of Physical Education credits that may be credited toward the 120 credits (minimum) for the degree shall be 3 credits. 9. Transfer Students Students transferring to Mount Saint Mary College with an Associate of Arts (A.A.) degree or an Associate of Science (A.S.) degree, in a major taught at the college, are awarded full junior status and guaranteed 60 credits of transfer. Students with an Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) in business, who enter the business program, are awarded full junior status and guaranteed 60 credits of transfer. Credits equivalent to the junior college’s requirements for the A.A. or A.S. degree (to a maximum of 66 credits) will be accepted only for grades of C or better. C-, D+ and D grades will not be accepted for any part of the maximum award. D grades may be used to bring the transfer credits to the guaranteed minimum level of 60 credits, or for the fi rst part of sequential subjects in which a grade of C or better is achieved in the second part (e.g. BIO 1130: D; BIO 1140: C) from the same college. Students completing an A.A.S. in nursing may not apply their nursing credits toward the B.S. in Nursing. The 60 credit guarantee does not apply to those individuals who complete their Associates Degree after matriculating at Mount Saint Mary College. Students may transfer a maximum of 90 acceptable credits from a baccalaureate program and must complete the remaining 30 credit minimum at Mount Saint Mary College, including at least 12 upper level credits in their majors. Transfer courses or Mount Saint Mary College courses, used by a returning student after a signifi cant absence, may not be used toward the degree if the courses are not consistent with current requirements. The specifi c courses affected by this policy will be identifi ed and evaluated by the respective divisions. 10. Internships, Independent Studies Internships and/or independent studies can be used to satisfy major or elective requirements for the baccalaureate degree. Independent Study is a course designed by the student and a faculty member. Such study is intended to give the student the responsibility and freedom in investigating subjects of special interest, expand knowledge beyond the limits of a given course, or allow upper level research. It may take a variety of forms, such as readings, art projects, research projects, or work evolving from another course. Independent Study is not intended to complete other courses. No more than 18 credits in internships and independent studies combined can be used toward the degree. Of these 18 credits, a maximum of 6 credits may be applied to independent studies. At least 12 of the 18 credits must be used within the major. Divisions have the right to further limit the number of enrollments in internships and independent studies. Credit will not be awarded for work completed before registration for an internship or independent study. In addition, students must meet the following additional requirements for independent studies: Have a minimum of 60 credits; have a minimum Grade Point Average of

46 2.75; develop and submit a proposed course outline to a faculty mentor; and meet the requirements of the division sponsoring the independent study. 11. Prerequisites Students may not enroll in a course that is a prerequisite for a course already completed in general education, major or elective programs. There are three exceptions to this policy: a. Enrollment in lower level course by students with transfer credits, which do not follow the numbering sequence at Mount Saint Mary College, will be evaluated on an individual basis by the appropriate division chair; b. Students enrolled in the accelerated program may request waiver of a prerequisite requirement for a higher-level course due to scheduling diffi culties. The prerequisite course will be scheduled when available; c. Students seeking an exception not covered by 11a. or 11b. may appeal to the Academic Standards Committee. d. Students may not register for a course if the prerequisite for that course has not been met or waived by the division chairperson. Students may request to transfer in prerequisite course work with the prior permission of an adviser and a division chairperson responsible for the course. In order for this course to be transferred in, the student must receive a grade of C or better from an issuing regionally accredited college. This grade will be calculated into the student’s Mount Saint Mary College Grade Point Average. Once the student has completed the course, a signed permission slip and offi cial transcript from the issuing college must be submitted to the Registrar’s Offi ce. A student may then register for a required course. 12. Waivers Waivers for Program Requirements: Waivers for courses required for degree programs are granted only under exceptional circumstances. The academic chairperson responsible for the course for which the waiver is requested is the only person authorized to grant a waiver. Students must obtain a Waiver Request Form from the Registrar’s Offi ce and submit the request to their academic adviser with supporting documentation. If the academic adviser supports the student’s request, it will be forwarded to the appropriate chairperson for review. If approved, the chairperson will provide written approval to the Registrar’s Offi ce. The approved course waiver will appear on the student’s transcript with a grade of “X” for the course and will not be calculated into the student’s Grade Point Average. In addition the waiver does not provide credit(s) toward degree completion. New York State has requirements regarding the minimum number of total credits and minimum number of liberal arts credits required for graduation. Students are expected to complete all degree requirements along with the required number of credits for their degree program. Waivers for Core Requirements (General Education requirements): The Waiver Request Form is available in the Registrar’s Offi ce; both the student’s academic adviser and the chairperson of the academic division responsible for the course must support the request. Once the request has been approved by both faculty members, it is forwarded to the chairperson of the Academic Standards Committee for review. The committee’s decision is then forwarded to both the student and the Registrar.

47 13. Course Substitutions Students are expected to complete all requirements of their individual degree programs. New York State has requirements regarding the minimum number of total credits and minimum number of liberal arts credits required for graduation. Students are expected to complete all degree requirements along with the required number of credits for their degree program. Only under exceptional circumstances may a course substitution be considered for certain degree requirements. Substitution requests must follow the specifi c approval process for the type of course substitution being requested. Only a course of equal or greater value may be considered for a substitution (i.e. only a 2000 level course or above may be used to substitute for another 2000 level course). If approved, the course substitution will appear on the academic transcript with a grade of “S” with no additional credits granted. a. Core Requirements (General Education requirements): The student must complete a Course Substitution Requirement form, available in the Registrar’s Offi ce, and provide a written justifi cation for the proposed substitution. The completed form is forwarded to both the student’s academic adviser and to the chairperson of the academic division responsible for the course. Both faculty members must support the request. It is then forwarded to the chairperson of the Academic Standards Committee for review and a fi nal decision by the committee. The results of the committee’s action are forwarded to the student and to the Registrar for appropriate action. b. Major Requirements: The student must complete the Course Substitution Requirement form, available in the Registrar’s Offi ce, and provide a written justifi cation for the proposed substitution. The academic adviser must support the request. The chairperson of the academic division responsible for the course reviews the request and renders a fi nal decision. The chairperson is the only person authorized to approve a Major Requirement course substitution. The decision will be forwarded to both the student and to the Registrar for appropriate action. Requirements for a Second Baccalaureate Degree Students requesting candidacy for two undergraduate degrees will be treated the same as a transfer student with no more than 90 credits transferred from previous work toward the second degree. Therefore, a minimum of 30 additional credits of work and satisfaction of all general education and major requirements (to include 12 credits of upper level courses in the major) are necessary to earn the second undergraduate degree. Developmental Coursework The college shall make a commitment to all full-time students to provide the opportunity to complete a degree program of the college within four years. The need for developmental courses, however, may extend the time required to complete a degree. Students must bear the costs associated with these courses. Thus, students may be eligible for the Supplemental Tuition Assistance Program (STAP) and the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) and federal programs. Students enrolled in developmental courses must take an exit exam at the end of the course to evaluate whether or not they have achieved the college’s standard for minimal competency. A need for additional developmental work may be determined by the exit exam or the course instructor. Students who fail a developmental course twice will be reviewed for possible academic dismissal. Students enrolled in developmental courses are expected to observe the same college regulations regarding credit-bearing courses, specifi cally concerning attendance and academic honesty. 48 Tutoring (Assessment and Developmental Instruction) The offi ce of Assessment and Developmental Instruction offers free tutorial assistance in major subject areas and skill areas (reading, writing, study and research methods). Academic Advisement Academic advisement is the ongoing process of assisting students to learn to use the resources of Mount Saint Mary College to meet their individual needs and aspirations. To facilitate this process each student who has declared a major is assigned by the division chair to a faculty member who acts as an academic adviser. Students in the teacher education program who have not declared a major will initially be advised by a member of the teacher education faculty as well as an adviser for undeclared majors. When such students declare a major, they will receive dual advisement from an assigned major adviser in addition to their education adviser. All other undeclared majors are assigned to an adviser by the Director of New Students who will serve as academic adviser until such time as they declare a major. New students who are admitted to the college under special consideration status are assigned a faculty adviser from their academic major by the division chair and receive additional support services from the Special Consideration Program and its Administrator. Transfer students receive an offi cial evaluation of transfer credit once they have been accepted to the college. Upon acceptance, transfer students with a declared major are assigned an academic adviser from their major by the division chair. The Director of New Students will assign an adviser to transfer students who are undeclared. With their academic adviser’s assistance, these students integrate their previous college experience and transfer credits into their chosen Mount Saint Mary College degree program. All students must declare a major area of studies upon completion of 45 academic credits, in order to ensure the proper development of their program. If a student decides to change a major, a new academic adviser will be assigned. Students entering the college via non-traditional programs are assigned an academic adviser from their major by the division chairperson and receive additional support services from the program staff. Preliminary advisement is also available to new students before fall enrollment but fi nal schedules are contingent upon placement test scores. ACADEMIC STANDARDS A student who leaves Mount Saint Mary College in good standing and later wishes to resume studies may do so, provided that if another college has been attended in the interim, the student has maintained Mount Saint Mary College’s standard of work. A student may be placed on probation by the Academic Standards Committee. Among the factors the committee shall consider when reviewing a student’s progress are: a. failure to fulfi ll entrance conditions; b. failure to attain a semester Grade Point Average of 1.75 in any semester. The semester GPA is the weighted average of the student’s academic standing for one semester as measured by the reported grades and weighted according to credit and letter grade values. Grade Point Equivalents will be used for developmental courses during the semester Grade Point Average point average calculations; these values will not be included in cumulative GPAs;

49 c. failure to attain suffi cient credits and grade point averages required for sophomore, junior or senior status. To advance in academic status, a student must meet the following requirements: Credits GPA Status 30 1.85 Sophomore 60 2.00 Junior 90 2.00 Senior d. failure to attain satisfactory marks in courses required in the major program for which the student is enrolled. Credit Hours Earned Toward Degree This includes all hours, including transfer credit applied toward a Mount Saint Mary College degree. Credits obtained at Mount Saint Mary College are used in calculating the Grade Point Average. Courses taken elsewhere with prior approval of the academic division and the Registrar will have grades computed in the GPA. Monitored Program This program of studies must be approved by a division chair or adviser. It must be restricted to 12 credits (maximum of 13 credits for students enrolled in an approved laboratory course, a practicum or physical education) and may include developmental studies. Students on monitored status are permitted to participate in varsity athletics. Academic Probation Placement on probation is a serious warning to students that unless their academic record is improved they may be dismissed. The usual duration of academic probation is a traditional semester (12 credits). At the end of the semester, the Academic Standards Committee reviews the student’s progress. If the student has fulfi lled the requirements imposed by the Academic Standards Committee, the individual will be reinstated as a student in good standing. No student may be on probation for more than two semesters. The student must be informed of the probation by a written communication from the Academic Standards Committee. Students on probation will be restricted to 12 credits (13 for students enrolled in an approved laboratory course, a practicum or physical education). Students on probation are not permitted to participate in varsity athletics. This policy conforms to current NCAA regulations relative to ineligibility of student-athletes on probation. Academic Dismissal The college reserves the right to dismiss a student who fails to make reasonable progress toward the completion of the degree and the program in which the individual is enrolled. The Academic Standards Committee may recommend dismissal. The student may submit a written appeal of a dismissal decision within two weeks to the Associate Dean for Curriculum, as chairperson of the college’s Appeals Committee. The college also reserves the right to require the withdrawal of a student at any time if the individual’s conduct does not conform to its spirit and standards. When considering dismissal, the committee will review the factors stated under a-d above, as well as whether a student has incurred probation twice. Students who fail a developmental course twice will be reviewed for possible academic dismissal. A student’s academic standing or status will be determined by one’s ability or failure to maintain the institution’s academic standards as described above. Students who are academically dismissed are no longer in an acceptable status and, thus, are no longer certifi ed by MSMC as eligible for many state aid programs. 50 Academic Bankruptcy Any former academically dismissed Mount Saint Mary College student who has not received a fi nal academic dismissal and who wishes to return after a period of fi ve years, must apply to the Academic Appeals Committee to be academically reinstated. If reinstated by that committee, the student is then eligible to declare Academic Bankruptcy. The student must make such declaration as soon as possible after his/her reinstatement and prior to registering for any courses at Mount Saint Mary College. The student’s transcript is then reviewed and any grade below a “C” is marked with an “S”. The course and the original grade remain on the student’s transcript; however, the credits and grade(s) are removed from the student’s academic history. (Note: The following statement is placed on the student’s transcript at the time bankruptcy is declared: “Academic Bankruptcy Declared for the above terms. Courses marked with an “S” signify bankruptcy.”) Academic Honesty 1. College Position The mission of Mount Saint Mary College is concerned with the development of sound values, goals and commitments on the part of students. Equipping students to play responsible roles in society has been a consistent aim of our institution. Instances of academic dishonesty subvert the mission of the college and the experience students derive from it. These instances harm the offender as well as students who maintain academic honesty. The Mount community, therefore, commits itself to do all in its power to prevent such dishonesty and imposes impartial sanctions upon those who harm themselves, their fellow students and the college in this way. 2. Defi nitions Generally, academic dishonesty may be defi ned in the following ways: a. cheating - using or attempting to use, giving or attempting to give, unauthorized materials, information, assistance or study aids in any academic exercise or evaluation (tests), unless the nature of the academic exercise legitimizes cooperative learning; b. plagiarism - copying or imitating the language, ideas or thoughts of another author and passing off the same as one’s original work; c. falsifi cation - forgery, alteration or misuse of academic documents, records or forms. 3. Prevention of Academic Dishonesty Both students and faculty members should be alert to academic dishonesty and should work diligently to eliminate situations that foster academic dishonesty. Students have an obligation to make their abhorrence of it known to their peers. Faculty members have an obligation to create a classroom atmosphere that encourages careful proctoring of examinations and monitoring of papers. Other professional staff should encourage honesty in a manner dictated by the nature of their interactions with students. 4. Due Process In any allegation of academic dishonesty, every effort will be made to ensure due process. Due process is defi ned as a course of formal proceedings carried out regularly and in accordance with established rules and principles. Thus, in the unfortunate

51 event of an alleged breach of academic honesty, the student so charged will be insured due process as follows: a. Immediately if possible, but not later than two school days, after the alleged incident or the awareness of academic dishonesty, the instructor presents to the student the specifi c charge with supporting evidence. This charge, if given orally and/or in writing, should include the nature of alleged academic dishonesty (cheating, plagiarism, falsifi cation); the date, time, description of the incident; the action that was taken by the instructor at the time of the incident. The instructor meets with student and permits the student to respond to the charge with facts and mitigating circumstances relating to the alleged incident of academic dishonesty. If, after hearing the student’s response, the instructor concludes that the student is culpable of the allegation, the instructor has the authority to impose a sanction on the student. (See Section V, Sanctions, of this policy.) The nature of the sanction is communicated to the student and the Academic Dean and the chair of the division. b. Appeal of the instructor’s decision: Within three school days after the student has been notifi ed of the instructor’s decision, the student may appeal in writing to the chair of the division to which the faculty member belongs. The division chair will initiate the development of an Appeals Committee. The Appeals Committee will consist of three teaching faculty members who, in the opinion of the division chair, are competent to evaluate the appeal. The division chair will be one of the three members unless that person is the faculty member who charged the student with academic dishonesty. The Appeals Committee will designate one of its members to serve as chair of the committee. The Appeals Committee has the authority to hear the case, to rule on procedure for the hearing, to impose or alter sanctions on the student and to communicate the fi ndings of the committee to the student and to the faculty member and the Academic Dean. The case must be decided by a majority vote within 48 hours of conclusion of the hearing by the Appeals Committee. c. A student who has been penalized for academic dishonesty may appeal the decision to the Vice President for Academic Affairs who will convene an administrative Appeals Board, which is a committee consisting of the Academic Dean, the chair of the Faculty Senate and the Dean of Students. Such an appeal must be made in writing within 14 school days after the student has been notifi ed of the Appeals Committee decision. The appeal must be based on one or more of the following grounds: i. The student was not accorded due process as described in this policy. ii. The student has new evidence that was not available or was unknown at the time of the Appeals Committee hearing. The administrative Appeals Board will review and make the fi nal disposition of the case. The decision of this Appeals Board will be fi nal and binding. d. Conduct of appeals hearings: i. Both the student and the faculty member must be present at each appeals hearing, i.e. Appeals Committee and administrative Appeals Board.

52 ii. Both the student and the faculty member may have counsel at each appeals hearing. Persons providing counsel may advise students and faculty, and may be present during, but not participate in, the hearings. iii. Both the student and the faculty member may present his/her case, and hear and question all witnesses during an appeals hearing. iv. The student will receive a written report of the fi ndings and the decision at each level of the appeal process. Copies of this written report will be given to the faculty member, the Vice President for Academic Affairs and the Registrar. e. Sanctions In cases where culpability is established, the student is to be accorded the opportunity to enter mitigating circumstances through the student’s own testimony and that of any witnesses the student produces. Such testimony may be made during the meeting with the faculty member and during an appeals hearing. In cases where culpability is established, the following sanctions will be imposed: 1. For an initial transgression, and where culpability is established, the student will face sanctions up to and including failure for the course. In addition, a memo detailing the infraction must be forwarded by the instructor to the Registrar’s Offi ce to be placed in the student’s fi le. 2. If the Registrar determines that this is the second infraction on the part of a student with fewer than thirty credits, the case will be referred to the Vice President for Academic Affairs before any action is taken. 3. If the Registrar determines that this is a second infraction on the part of a student with more than 30 credits, the penalty is immediate failure of the course. The Registrar will inform the student and the instructor of the failing grade in the course. 4. A third infraction will result in academic dismissal from the college. Matriculation Students who are admitted to Mount Saint Mary College in a degree-seeking program will be considered matriculated and will be assessed a matriculation fee (payable during the second semester of the entering year) after completing a full-time semester at MSMC. The college requires that all candidates for matriculation must have: 1. Completed all admissions requirements of the college; 2. An appropriate Grade Point Average (see table under Academic Standards). To advance in academic status, a student must complete the minimum credits and attain the specifi c grade index associated with the individual’s particular status. Students who break their matriculation for more than one calendar year from the date of departure and who present themselves to return to the College must comply with the general education and major requirements in place at the time of re-entry. Students seeking exceptions must petition the Academic Standards Committee. Students cannot mix the requirements of two catalogs.

53 GRADING The quantitative measure of a student’s scholastic standing is the Grade Point Average, i.e., the weighted average of the student’s academic standing as measured by the reported grades and weighted according to credit and letter value. The college uses the following grading system (quality points are indicated under the grade or to the right): A A- B+ B B- C+ C C- D+ D 4.0 3.67 3.33 3.0 2.67 2.33 2.0 1.67 1.33 1.0 P - Passing none F - Failure 0.0 I - Incomplete (absent from fi nal exam and/or incomplete required course work) none S - Exempted, course requirement has been substituted, no credit none W - Withdrawal during the period from the second week of class to the third week after the mid-semester date none AW - Administrative Withdrawal – for a student who fails to attend class before the end of the add/drop period. none The college may award a failing grade to a student who drops out without withdrawing. Students may begin the formal withdrawal process by visiting the Offi ce of the Registrar. P and F grades may be attained for specifi c elective courses designated by the faculty, which do not support or contribute to the general education requirements or major. Any sophomore, junior or senior in good academic standing with a Grade Point Average of 2.2 may take advantage of the P/F grading system through the fi rst two weeks of the semester. The Registrar will receive a form with notifi cation of the student’s choice of electives for P/F grading and at the end of the semester will change the letter grade received from the instructor to Pass (for A, B, C, or D) or Fail (F). The P course shall not be used in computing the Grade Point Average. The Incomplete (I) grade is used only when a student has met the class attendance requirements of a course and must postpone the completion of certain papers, reports, or other assignments for reasons beyond the individual’s control (individual or family health or emergency problems). The student must obtain the proper request form from the Registrar’s Offi ce and submit a written request to the instructor for a grade of I. After reviewing the student’s record, the instructor will determine the validity of the request in light of the reasons stated above and approve or deny the I grade. Approved I grade requests will be submitted with the Grade Report. The Registrar will monitor all requests for appropriate justifi cation. At the time the I grade is requested, the student and the faculty member will agree on a date by which the course work must be completed. Incomplete grades will generally be resolved by the fi fth week of the following academic semester. All incomplete grades must be changed by the 10th week of classes for graduating seniors or the day before the fi nal examinations for all other students. If the grade is not changed by the date on the request form, the I grade will be changed to an F grade. If the student is not awarded an Incomplete and the student believes the required conditions have been met, a written appeal may be presented to the division chair responsible for the course, and the Registrar. The division chair will evaluate the case and inform the student,

54 the instructor, and the Registrar of the decision. If the division chair is the instructor, the Academic Dean will appoint a senior faculty member within the division to hear the student’s appeal. The decision is fi nal with no further appeal. If a student voluntarily repeats a course, the better of the two grades will be used for the purpose of calculating the Grade Point Average and for meeting degree requirements. If the student withdraws from the course during the withdrawal period, the student will retain the fi rst entered grade, which will be used in all calculations. The student’s record will show that the course was repeated and the fi nal grades for each time will be shown. Consult the Tuition Assistance Program in the Financial Aid Section of this catalog for fi nancial aid regulations regarding repeating a course. A minimum semester Grade Point Average of 1.75 is required each semester. Nursing students must attain at least a grade of C+ in required nursing and health courses. Education certifi cation students must attain at least a Grade Point Average of 2.75 in required certifi cation courses. Candidates for a degree must attain a Grade Point Average of 1.85 by the end of the freshman year, and a 2.0 by the end of the sophomore year and each succeeding semester. A 2.0 Grade Point Average is required for the major. Evaluation In evaluating the learning experiences provided by a semester of study, instructors may choose a variety of procedures; among these may be written or oral examinations, projects, practicums or theses. The course requirements and methods of evaluation are stated in writing and distributed by the instructor at the beginning of the semester. HONORS Three grades of honors are awarded at commencement to those graduates who have maintained a superior level of achievement during the entire undergraduate program: Summa Cum Laude, or highest honors, is awarded to those having a Grade Point Average of 3.80 and no grade below B for all course work; Magna Cum Laude, or high honors, is awarded to those having a Grade Point Average of 3.60 and no grade below C; Cum Laude, or with honor, is awarded to those having a Grade Point Average of 3.40 or above. Scholars In order to foster scholarly activity and to recognize academic achievement, the faculty, upon the recommendation of the Academic Standards Committee, may confer the title of Aquinas Scholar or Ralph Scholar. Aquinas or Ralph Scholars must have attained a high degree of profi ciency in their studies and have demonstrated initiatives and/or activities that exemplify a sincere commitment to learning at Mount Saint Mary College. The candidates must be enrolled as full-time students; only 5% of each class may be nominated. The title Aquinas Scholar is awarded to juniors or seniors who have completed at least 30 credits at Mount Saint Mary College. The students must have attained a minimum Grade Point Average of 3.60 and have received the recommendation and approval of the division in which their major is offered. Only up to 5% of the students per division per class, or three students per division per class, whichever number is larger, may be nominated. 55 The title Ralph Scholar is awarded to sophomores who have completed at least 30 credits, 24 of them at Mount Saint Mary College, in the freshman year. Students must have attained a Grade Point Average of 3.40 and have received the recommendation of at least two faculty members. Ralph Scholars may be nominated by any individual faculty member on the basis of overall freshman performance, not as divisional majors. Only 5% of the class may be named.

Admission into the program is by invitation from the Honors Program Coordinator. Freshmen qualify on the basis of exemplary high school records, a composite score on college profi ciency exams and SAT’s that indicate the student’s ability to meet the rigors and challenges of honors-level course work. Students seeking to participate in the program after the fall term of the freshman year and transfers to MSMC will be considered if they have attained a Grade Point Average of 3.4 after a minimum of 15 credits taken at MSMC and are recommended by a faculty member. The Honors Program’s academic agenda is complemented and reinforced by cultural and social activities. While designed for traditional undergraduate students, the program is open to non-traditional students. The student is responsible for the selection, enrollment and completion of a minimum of 18 honors credits over four years. It is recommended that honors students taking only the minimum number of credits to qualify for the completion of the program take 6-9 honors credits in the freshman year and the remaining credits in subsequent years. Students must complete one interdisciplinary 3000 level theme-based course and one culminating 4000 level honors research/project course to satisfy program requirements. The MSMC Registrar, in consultation with the honors coordinator, must approve honors courses transferred from other institutions. During the freshman year, honors students take two or three of the following courses: HON 1010, 1020, 1030, 1040 and 1050, each for 3 credits. In the sophomore year, honors students are advised to elect the Honors Seminars (HON 2010, 2020, 2030), each for 1 credit, which consist of seminars and independent study on a perennial theme and/or an issue of contemporary signifi cance. During the junior and senior years, honors students are required to take (1) a theme-based interdisciplinary studies course and (2) the culminating independent study research course, which may be centered in their major fi eld of study. In identifying the topic, focus and scope of this independent research, the student is guided by an academic adviser/mentor, who has been recommended and approved by the honors coordinator. Honors students may elect to take a regular upper-division course for honors credits with permission from the faculty member teaching the course and the Honors Program Coordinator. For a regular course to be approved as an honors course, additional assignments/projects/papers of a challenging nature are required. The Honors Program provides students with the opportunity to interact with faculty and other honors students in courses and in social and cultural activities. Honors program seniors are invited to participate in a celebratory trip to New York City to see a Broadway play/musical. Also, honors program seniors, who have satisfactorily completed the program, are acknowledged at an Honors Program Recognition Event prior to graduation. Successful completion of the Honors Program is indicated on the student’s offi cial academic transcript. Honors students must maintain a minimum Grade Point Average of 3.40 to continue in the program. If a student’s GPA falls below 3.40 at the end of a given semester, he/she may continue as an honors student for up to two semesters with a minimum 3.1 GPA and the coordinator’s approval. A student could take 18 credits of honors course work

58 and still not complete the honors program if his/her GPA is less than 3.40 by the time of graduation. In completing program requirements, honors students regularly consult with academic advisers and the Honors Program Coordinator. AUDIT OF COURSES On December 16, 1976, the Board of Trustees approved a resolution from the Faculty Senate that provides for senior citizens (anyone 60 years or over) to audit courses free of charge, subject to permission of the instructor, available space and in accordance with college policy on auditing. The present policy on auditing is stated below. A regularly enrolled student may audit courses with the permission of the instructor or the chair of the division in which the course is offered, the Registrar and/or the student’s adviser. The instructor establishes the conditions under which the student may audit. In no case will a student receive credit for auditing, but the course audited will be counted in determining student load. Tuition (generally 50% of the course costs) is charged for an audited course with the exception of senior citizens as described above. CLASS ATTENDANCE Education is a cooperative process in which both faculty and students share a responsibility. Regular attendance is expected. Students are responsible for meeting the course requirements including attendance as stated in writing by the instructor at the beginning of the semester. Section 50.1 of the Commissioner’s Regulations for New York State requires the satisfactory completion of at least 15 hours of instruction and at least 30 hours of supplementary assignments for a student to earn a semester hour of credit. CLOSINGS (WEATHER LINE) Should severe inclement weather or other conditions make it necessary for the administration to suspend classes, such notifi cation will usually be made over local radio stations commencing at approximately 6 a.m. Students can consult the Weather Line (845-569-3500) or the college website, www.msmc.edu, for school closings or delays; students should not call the switchboard or college personnel. Any canceled classes are required to make up any missed class time. ADD/DROP POLICY The add/drop period allows students the opportunity to alter their schedule without incurring a notation on their transcript or being charged tuition. For traditional courses, this period extends for the fi rst week of the semester. For accelerated courses, this period ends after the fi rst week of the class. See the academic calendar for specifi c add/drop dates. Students may not attend classes for which they have not offi cially registered. Students who attend class without the proper authorization from the Registrar will not receive a grade or credit for the class. A student can add courses to their schedule via the campus web module, or by submitting an add slip to the Registrar’s Offi ce by the specifi ed deadline. Not attending a class does not, by itself, constitute an offi cial drop from that course. To offi cially drop a course, students must use the campus web module or submit a drop slip

59 to the Registrar’s Offi ce by the specifi ed deadline. Failure to take the appropriate action will result in a failing grade and a fi nancial penalty. After the end of the add/drop period, students still have the opportunity to withdraw from a class without incurring an academic penalty. See the withdrawal policy for further details. WITHDRAWAL FROM COURSES Students must submit a withdrawal slip to the Registrar to be dropped from a class and reduce the fi nancial obligation. The date of withdrawal submission to the Registrar will determine any reimbursement. When a student withdraws during the period of the second week of class and three weeks after the mid-semester date, the symbol W will be entered on the individual’s transcript. No credits or quality points will be given for the course work. When a student withdraws after the above period, the grade F will be entered on the individual’s record. REPORTS AND TRANSCRIPTS Students’ grades are available mid-term (traditional students) and at the end of the semester via the campus web module. Students may request a copy of their academic transcript by fi lling out a Transcript Request Form, or by submitting a written request to the Registrar’s Offi ce. Fees: Offi cial Transcript: $5; Student Copy: $3 (no charge for currently enrolled students); fi ve copies to same address: $20; 10 copies to same address: $30. PERMISSION FOR CREDITS The usual course load is 15 credits or fi ve academic credit courses in a traditional semester. Full-time students with a minimum Grade Point Average of 3.0 may be permitted to register for more than fi ve academic credit courses. (See course load limitations below.) These limits may not be exceeded without the approval of the Academic Standards Committee. Students should anticipate graduation, major and course requirements and submit appropriate requests in a timely manner. Freshmen in their fi rst semester at Mount Saint Mary College are limited to fi ve credit bearing courses. Requests for course overloads must be submitted to the Chair of the Academic Standards Committee before the start of the semester. All requests must be submitted and approved by the end of the add/drop period. Course Load Limits Student Status Regular Maximum Credits Per Fall/Spring Semester With Lab, Practicum, Physical Education Probation, Monitored 12 credits 13 credits or Special Consideration Students in Good Standing* 15 credits 17 credits With 15 MSMC credits 3.000-3.499 GPA 18 credits 20 credits 3.500-4.000 GPA 21 credits 23 credits Seniors with 2.750-2.999 GPA for their fi nal semester (or for any senior also completing student teaching) 18 credits 18 credits 60 *Students enrolled in the Accelerated Degree may take 18 credits per semester with a maximum of 20 credits with lab, practicum or internship, providing they are in good academic standing. Students, while matriculated at Mount Saint Mary College, may transfer credits and grades (of C or better; this does not include C- grades) toward degree requirements for course work taken at other institutions, provided prior permission for such courses has been granted by chair of the division offering the courses. In the case of juniors and seniors, course work should be taken at an institution granting the baccalaureate degree. Students, while matriculated at Mount Saint Mary College, may transfer credits and grades (of C or better; this does not include C- grades) for independent study (taken through the SUNY Independent Study Program) or properly evaluated by New York State College Profi ciency Examinations or the College Level Examination Program (CLEP).

Academic advisors are available by appointment during these hours and possibly at other times, if necessary. Accelerated Degree Program for Adults The Accelerated Degree Program for Adults provides the opportunity to obtain a four-year degree in two and a half years; for nursing majors, the program takes three and a half years. By participating fully in this fl exible program, a student may earn up to 48 credits per year. Students have the freedom of pursuing a degree at their own pace and may elect to “stop out” for a period as family or work demands dictate. The academic year is divided into eight, six-week sessions with courses offered Monday/ Wednesday and Tuesday/Thursday evenings. Weekend or Saturday courses are offered during most sessions. Students may choose from ten available majors: accounting, business management and administration, history, human services, nursing, psychology, public relations, social sciences, sociology and a new major for prospective elementary teachers: a BA in Interdisciplinary Studies which prepares students to enter our Graduate Education Program for Childhood/Special Education. Distance Learning and blended online learning are continually being incorporated within the accelerated courses to maximize student convenience and fl exibility. The combination of distance learning with the Mount’s personalized advisement and adaptable scheduling

61 allows more adults throughout the mid-Hudson region to obtain a baccalaureate degree in the shortest time period. Through individualized counseling, students are encouraged to establish a realistic educational plan that suits their long-term goals while fulfi lling their family and job responsibilities. Traditional Undergraduate Program Adult students may choose the traditional undergraduate program that offers a wider choice of majors and courses as well as the opportunity to pursue New York State Teacher Certifi cation as part of their undergraduate degree. Professional Development and Certifi cate Programs The Center for Community and Educational Services offers a wide range of programs for those wishing to expand their workplace and professional capabilities. These can be standard courses confi gured to the general needs of most area employers or custom programs tailored to an organization’s specifi c needs. Such programs can build capabilities in a combination of the following skill areas: • Certifi cate Programs in Grant Writing • Healthcare instruction including Quality Assurance Leadership Programs and Customer Service Excellence • Management, Leadership and Organizational Development • Professional Development for elementary and secondary school teachers • Computer usage for word processing, spreadsheets, database management, presentation skills and desktop publishing. The Continuing Education Offi ce offers Professional Certifi cate Programs that allow participants to acquire skills and knowledge to advance in their professions. Mount Saint Mary College offers certifi cate programs in business management and administration, fi nancial accounting, fi nancial management, gerontology, networking technologies, public relations, and web technology. Several of these programs involve credit courses that can be applied toward a baccalaureate degree at a later date. New certifi cate programs are added as demand indicates. Call the Continuing Education Offi ce for the latest list of certifi cate programs. Center for Community and Educational Services (CCES) The Center For Community And Educational Services, located on the Mount’s Desmond Campus, provides non-credit courses and educational programs for adults of all ages to expand their skills, knowledge and understanding in many areas, from art to yoga. CCES offers day and evening programs throughout the year. L.I.F.E. (Learning Is Forever Enriching) is an educational and social program for adult learners, aged 55 and older. Courses are taught during daytime hours by volunteer instructors. Full length courses, short courses and day trips are offered through the program. There are three sessions per year: March-June; July-October; and November- February, with separate brochures for each. A minimal membership fee applies for each session. Since 1997 CCES has conducted the Elderhostel Program during the summer on its campus. Each one-week session includes classroom instruction and related fi eld trips. The program is offered to those 55 years old and over on a resident or commuter basis. For further information about any of these programs, call 845-565-2076. Life Experience Credit Life Experience Credit is valid academic credit granted to individual students for college level learning they have acquired from various life experiences outside the college classroom. The academic credit awarded is for the learning and not for the experience 62 itself. Any adult growth or learning experience that is acquired over two or more years and does not lend itself to validation through profi ciency exams may qualify for credit. Validation of the learning includes the guided preparation of a portfolio. In the portfolio, the learning must be presented in an organized manner establishing that the student had the experience, learned from it and that it has some bearing on educational goals. For Life Experience, the Mount will grant a maximum number of 30 credits, equivalent to one year of full-time college study. Students may apply Life Experience Credits toward a major fi eld of study or elective courses but not toward general education, nursing or education requirements. Further information, applications and sample portfolios are available in the Continuing Education Offi ce. Additionally, a student may only make a single portfolio submission of all Life Experience Learning Credit that is being sought and this must be submitted before the student’s fi nal semester at the College. CREDIT BY EXAMINATION The New York State College Profi ciency Examination Program (NYSCPEP), the College Level Examination Program (CLEP), Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Education Support (DANTES), other national profi ciency examination programs and select teacher-made exams are designed to enable undergraduates to earn college credits. Mount Saint Mary College requires that: 1. The CLEP General Examinations and subject examinations selected must be consistent with the college’s general curriculum. The DANTES subject examinations complement the CLEP examinations and are accepted for credit in a similar manner. The college is an authorized DANTES test center. Students should see their advisers or the Registrar for additional information. Students are responsible for any costs associated with these examinations. 2. Applicant’s credits will be evaluated as transfer credit from other institutions. 3. No more than 45 credits may be awarded for credit by examination, only nine of which may be in a student’s major area, excepting registered nurses seeking advanced placement and military LPN’s enrolled through the AMEDD program. Registered nurses matriculating in the nursing program may earn up to 24 credits in nursing by examination. 4. Examinations equivalent to lower level division work at Mount Saint Mary College will be counted with the transfer credits of two-year institutions. Generally, a maximum of 60 credits is allowed; however, students completing an associate of arts or associate of science degree will be allowed to transfer the number of credits (maximum of 66 credits for courses with C or better grades) required to attain that degree at the two-year institution. If the examinations are equivalent to upper level division work, the credits will be counted in the 90-credit authorization of four-year institutions. Credits granted by examination will be indicated on the student’s transcript and will not be granted in a subject area below the level of work for which course credit has been previously awarded. When a student is awarded credit by examination after matriculation at Mount Saint Mary College, the grade received will be indicated on the student’s transcript and will be included in the cumulative index. 5. Mount Saint Mary College Challenge Examinations provide a way for students to meet certain requirements of the college:

63 a. A Challenge Examination may be taken for waiver of a course without getting credit for a course (for example, to satisfy a prerequisite). The examination may be taken to receive full credit for the course. The fees associated with these examinations may be found under Tuition and Fees in this catalog. b. Teacher-designed Challenge Examinations may be given for any course that contributes to the major at the discretion of the division for that major. Divisions are not required to provide Challenge Examinations but may do so for all, some or none of their courses, as appropriate to their requirements and Academic Standards. c. Teacher-designed Challenge Examinations for general education courses are approved only for those courses for which there does not already exist a nationally recognized assessment examination such as CLEP and DANTES. d. Teacher-designed tests are not subject to limitations on transfer credits (for example, a student who has already transferred 60 credits may still gain credit by a Challenge Examination). No more than 6 credits can be granted by Mount Saint Mary College Credit Examinations. These credits do not count toward the 30-credit residency requirement for a degree from the college. There is no limit on the number of courses a student may waive via Challenge Examinations. e. Challenge examinations can be taken just one time for any given course. f. A grade corresponding to a C is the minimum requirement to pass a Challenge Examination. However, only the Pass grade will be awarded. g. Students should be aware that other institutions may not accept credits earned by Challenge Examinations for transfer. CAREER CENTER The Career Center provides career exploration and interest assessments; experiential education opportunities for matriculated students in all majors to enrich, enhance, broaden and complement their education; professional skill development; and continued career counseling and job search assistance after graduation. Career Development Career Development offers students and alumni a variety of information and services to assist them in their career preparation. An on-going process, Career Development encourages students to seek its services at the beginning of their academic careers. Students and alumni may access information through the Career Development library and from employers who visit campus. Career Development provides individual counseling, interest assessment, and workshops and seminars that include career decision making, applying to graduate school, resume and cover letter writing, interviewing skills, and job search strategies. Career Development also provides professional references in accordance with Public Law 93-380, The Family Rights and Privacy Act of 1974. In a comprehensive survey concerning the status of a recent graduating class, results indicated that 88% were employed six months after graduation, with 78% employed in positions related to their fi eld, and 28% were pursuing graduate, professional or other study beyond the bachelor’s degree. Co-Ops And Internships Co-ops and internships are optional educational experiences that promote academic, personal and professional development. Psychology, physical therapy/psychology and 64 human services majors are required to participate in this program to obtain their prescribed internship. This enrichment opportunity adds a professional dimension to the traditional college curriculum by enabling students to combine practical work experiences with academic majors and career goals. Many businesses, schools, health-care facilities, social service agencies, scientifi c laboratories, information systems companies, public relations and media companies employ students in career-related work experiences that reinforce knowledge learned in the classroom and prepare students with life skills and career choices. Students may work in paid co-op positions or in internships. During the internship experience, students earn academic credit that satisfi es degree requirements. Occasionally, students may earn academic credit for the learning that occurs during a paid co-op experience. Participation in co-ops and/or internships affords students in all academic disciplines the opportunity to: • gain practical career-related experience before graduation • enhance job search skills including resume writing and interview strategies • develop professional work habits, interpersonal skills and confi dence • apply skills learned in the classroom • explore potential career interests • develop employer and networking contacts • earn college credit for internships and selected co-op experiences • defray educational costs Students acquire practical experience in their major fi eld by working part time (15-20 hours per week) or full time during a semester, or part time or full time during the summer. Matriculated students in any major who have sophomore status and a minimum grade point average of 2.5 (2.0 for psychology, physical therapy/psychology, and human services majors) are eligible to participate in co-ops and internships. Students must be in good academic and social standing. Those on academic probation, monitored program and those who are under any imposed sanctions as described in the Student Judicial Code, including residence hall probation and disciplinary probation, are not eligible to participate. Students interested in co-op and internship opportunities must work together with the staff coordinators to complete the application process and/or update their portfolios during the semester preceding the work experience. With assistance from their academic advisers, students who carefully plan their course schedules can accommodate both class and work schedules. Staff coordinators develop and maintain contacts and referrals and facilitate the introduction of students to cooperating employers. The fi nal responsibility for interviewing, evaluating, selecting and hiring students, however, rests with the employer. The student, under the direction and supervision of the employer during each work period, then becomes the employee of the cooperating employer. Therefore, Mount Saint Mary College will not guarantee that students will be selected by employers/organizations for positions or assume liability for any action or omission by a student or employer during a co-op or internship experience.

65 Service-Learning Service-Learning at Mount Saint Mary College is either an academic component (curricular) of a credit-bearing course or an educational enrichment of student activities (co-curricular) on campus. Service-Learning enables students to learn and develop through thoughtfully organized community service that fosters civic responsibility while enhancing the academic curriculum through real world experience, application of theory, and integration through critical refl ective thinking. Opportunities to participate in Service-Learning are available in selected courses throughout the disciplines and/or through student activities. STUDY ABROAD PROGRAM Mount Saint Mary College affords students the opportunity to pursue academic year, semester, summer or January Interim programs abroad. The study abroad initiative is in accord with the Mount’s response to understanding other cultures and the global community. The college supports study abroad as a means of enhancing students’ total academic experiences. Students must be second semester sophomores or above, with a minimum Grade Point Average of 2.5 to be considered for foreign study in academic year or semester-long programs. ACADEMIC YEAR/SEMESTER STUDY ABROAD In order to afford students diversity and options in study abroad programs, course offerings and countries in which to study, the Mount collaborates and articulates with other universities and colleges offering semester and academic-year programs abroad. As a member of the Lower Hudson Valley Catholic Colleges Consortium, the college encourages study abroad experiences provided by other member institutions in the consortium, such as Iona College, St. John’s University and Fordham University. MSMC also maintains formal affi liation agreements with large corporate providers of study abroad opportunities, such as AustraLearn, CAPA (Center for Academic Programs Abroad) and CEA (Cultural Experiences Abroad). Presidential and merit scholarships are portable for MSMC students studying abroad for a Fall and/or Spring term. Mount Saint Mary College students have recently studied abroad at John Cabot University in Rome, Italy; at Bond University (Gold Coast), at Macquarie University (Sydney) and at The University of New South Wales (Sydney). MSMC students have also participated in the Semester at Sea Program sponsored by The University of Virginia and in the Discover the World Program offered by St. John’s University. Note: The student must achieve the equivalent of a C grade or better in a course taken abroad from either a foreign institution or from another American college or university sponsoring the study abroad for the course credit to transfer into MSMC. MSMC Short Term Study Abroad Programs In addition, MSMC sponsors its own short-term summer and interim study abroad programs. While these Mount-based programs are primarily directed toward its own student body, students from other colleges and universities can participate. In the event of unprecedented demand for a limited number of program participant vacancies, preference is given fi rst to MSMC students with a minimum 2.5 Grade Point Average; secondly, to students from member institutions in the Lower Hudson Valley Catholic Colleges Consortium; and, thirdly, to students from other colleges and universities. MSMC students must have a minimum 2.0 overall Grade Point Average to participate in MSMC study abroad programs; to be accepted into a program, however, all students

66 must be recommended by at least one full-time MSMC faculty member and, if a resident student, by an administrator in either residence or student life. A satisfactory interview with the coordinator of study abroad programs may also be required. Regular MSMC short-term programs include the following: MSMC at New College, Oxford University (Oxford, England) Concurrent with Summer Session I, this program offers students the opportunity to select two 3-credit courses in either English literature and/or history/political science. The program is approximately one month long and occurs during Oxford University’s Trinity term when Oxford students are on campus and clubs and extra-curricular events are in progress. While in Oxford, students are housed in college houses or fl ats. MSMC in Segovia, Spain Also concurrent with Summer Session I, this program affords students who wish to become fl uent in Spanish with an immersion program of a full-month’s duration. Students take two 3-credit courses at the Centro Estudios Hispanicos (Center of Hispanic Studies) and engage in fi eld experiences, which include four days in Andalucia or Barcelona and an overnight in Madrid. Each student resides with an approved Spanish family. MSMC at Dublin Business School (Ireland) Students select two 3-credit courses from offerings in English, business, economics, history/ political science and religious studies, etc. This program features one month of course work and complementary fi eld experiences at Dublin Business School in the heart of Dublin. While in Dublin, students reside in apartment suites owned and operated by DBS or in dormitories. MSMC faculty members accompany students on these study abroad excursions and usually instruct two of the four courses offered. In summary, MSMC students have a wide range of study abroad options. With the permission of the Mount’s academic divisions, the Study Abroad coordinator can make arrangements with other institutions to facilitate and expand venues for MSMC student participation in study abroad. Advisers in the student’s major participate in the course approval process to assure that courses taken abroad complement and are integrated into a student’s total academic program at MSMC and that credits awarded count towards the completion of the 120 credits required for graduation. Students may select a letter grade option for study abroad courses or, for courses outside the major, the Pass/Fail option. Students may mix/match options by course; however, they must choose grading options no later than three weeks into the term of study or the awarded letter grade (or its American equivalent) will be indicated on the offi cial transcript. DISTANCE LEARNING Mount Saint Mary College promotes the application of distance learning technologies in hundreds of courses offered to undergraduate and graduate students every year, from enhancing traditional classroom instruction to enabling the delivery of teaching online in lieu of on-campus class meetings. The College views distance learning as an extremely valuable format to supplement classroom learning and to strengthen learner engagement and collaboration in all traditional undergraduate programs. For graduate and adult undergraduate programs, distance learning also provides the opportunity to increase access for student populations that otherwise would not be able to participate in and benefi t from the College’s higher education programs due to constraints of family, work, distance, and so forth.

67 A variety of technologies are being used for distance learning, including our advanced learning management system and synchronous learning delivery platform that facilitate and encourage collaborative learning and interactions among the faculty and students in their respective courses. The faculty are also eager to explore and integrate emerging technology applications into their courses, such as blogs, Wikis, and other Web 2.0 tools. Mount Saint Mary College offers fully online and blended online courses for undergraduates in the Accelerated Degree Programs for Adults.

SUNY INDEPENDENT STUDY PROGRAM The Independent Study Program of the State University of New York is designed to meet the needs of students who wish to undertake college studies, but who may wish to work at their own pace outside the campus program. Unlike the general academic pattern, Independent Study courses are available all year round. The courses are open to anyone who believes he/she is capable of completing course requirements. Before enrolling in the Independent Study Program, a student must receive the written permission of the individual’s academic adviser and the division chair responsible for the course material. Under the same conditions as those stipulated for the acceptance of CLEP and NYSCPEP, Mount Saint Mary College will accept credits certifi ed under the SUNY Independent Study Program (the State University of New York, 8 Thurlow Terrace, Albany, NY). Those seeking credit through New York State College Profi ciency Examinations, College Level Examination Program, DANTES, and the SUNY Independent Study Program are limited to a maximum of 45 credits under the limitations of Credit by Examination (paragraph 3). Life experience plus credit by examination may not exceed 45 credits. JANUARY INTERIM January Interim enables students to give exclusive attention to one course of study over a two- to three-week period before the spring semester. In order to meet the needs of a wide variety of students, courses of both a traditional and non-traditional nature are offered by the college faculty. If a student pursues a course or courses abroad in another accredited institution of higher education, that credit is treated as a permission credit. In such a situation, the student pays his/her fee to the accredited institution abroad and that college is required to pay the salary of the instructor. Mount Saint Mary College merely records the course, grade and credit on the student’s transcript and does not get involved in an exchange of fi nances. However, if MSMC offers a course abroad and hires an instructor to teach the course, the student pays MSMC a fee for the credits taken and the college pays the instructor for teaching the course. Participation in January Interim is entirely voluntary. Students may participate in anticipation of early graduation, as an alternative to the normal fi ve-course study program in the spring and fall semesters or to take advantage of the many non-traditional course offerings that are common to the Interim. 68 A student may register for a maximum of one three credit seated class and one three credit online class during January Interim. Requests for exceptions to this policy will be forwarded to the Academic Standards Committee. SUMMER SESSION The college offers two fi ve-week summer sessions. Students who register for Summer Session courses are generally advised not to carry more than two courses per session. FAMILY EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS AND PRIVACY ACT Among the Education Amendments Act of 1974 was one amendment sponsored by Senator James Buckley of New York entitled the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), which became effective in November 1974. In summary, the Buckley Amendment governs access to, and release of, records maintained by certain educational institutions and agencies. Educational records may not be released to third parties (with some exceptions) without the student’s prior, written permission. Eligible Mount Saint Mary College students who have been in attendance have access to their educational records. Educational records are defi ned broadly to include records, fi les, documents and other materials that contain information directly related to a student and are maintained by this college or by a person acting for this college. The following educational records are maintained by the offi ce of the Registrar as indicated. (Those marked with an asterisk are retained for only fi ve years after the date of last attendance; all others are a permanent part of the academic record): *Academic Probation and Dismissal Letters *Acceptance Letters *Admissions Application *Advanced Placement Reports *Appeal and Re-admission Letters *College-level Exams Reports *Computer Data Form Grade Changes *High School Transcript *Incomplete Grade Requests *Independent Study Requests *Internship Requests *Pass/Fail Requests for Grades *Permission Forms for Study Outside Mount Saint Mary College *Profi ciency Examination Results *Secondary School Reports Student Transcript *Student Directories *Transfer Evaluations and Supporting Transcripts *Veterans’ Administration Forms *Withdrawal Forms The Offi ce of the Dean of Students maintains medical records and disciplinary records. The Offi ce of the Director of Counseling and Career Development maintains student and alumni placement fi les.

69 Upon request, a student may obtain an unoffi cial transcript of courses. No offi cial transcript is issued to proper authority without the expressed, written consent of the student. A student’s academic adviser may request an evaluation of transfer credits for advisory purposes. Reports of profi ciency examinations, advanced placement tests and college level examinations are also evaluated by the division chair. Access to Records The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students certain rights with respect to their educational records. They are: 1. The right to inspect and review the student’s education records within 45 days of the day the college receives a request for access. Students should submit to the Registrar, Academic Dean or Chair of the academic department, or other appropriate offi cial, written requests that identify the record(s) they wish to inspect. The college offi cial will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the records are not maintained by the college offi cial to whom the request was submitted, that offi cial shall advise the student of the correct offi cial to whom the request should be addressed. 2. The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records that the student believes is inaccurate or misleading. Students may ask the college to amend a record that they believe is inaccurate or misleading. They should write the college offi cial responsible for the record, clearly identify the part of the record they want changed, and specify why it is inaccurate or misleading. If the college decides not to amend the record as requested by the student, the college will notify the student of the decision and advise the student of his/her right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student when notifi ed of the right to a hearing. 3. The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifi able information contained in the student’s education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. One exception that permits disclosure without consent is disclosure to school offi cials with legitimate educational interests. A school offi cial is a person employed by the college in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); a person or company with whom the college has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor or collection agent); a person serving on the Board of Trustees; or a student serving on an offi cial committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school offi cial in performing his/her tasks. A school offi cial has a legitimate educational interest if the offi cial needs to review an education record in order to fulfi ll his/her professional responsibility. 4. The right to fi le a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the college to comply with the requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the offi ce that administers FERPA is: Family Policy Compliance Offi ce U.S. Department of Education 400 Maryland Ave., SW Washington, D.C. 20202-4605

70 The right of access shall include: 1. list of records kept by the college that are directly related to the student; 2. right of inspection and review; 3. right to obtain copies but at the individual’s own expense (cost of reproduction: $3 for unoffi cial transcript, $5 per offi cial transcript, 10 cents per page for other educational records); 4. right to reasonable explanation of records; 5. right to hearing to challenge the content of records. Eligible students do not have a right of access in the following cases: 1. Financial records of parents; 2. Confi dential materials or recommendations submitted before January 1, 1975; 3. Where there has been a waiver concerning confi dential recommendations - admissions, employment and honor awards. Challenges to the Contents of Records Eligible students shall have the right to a hearing to ensure that records are not inaccurate, misleading or otherwise violate privacy. Opportunity to correct or delete information where appropriate shall be provided. In addition, an opportunity to submit a written explanation when deemed necessary by the challenger will be afforded. Student/Alumni Directory Information Student Directory Information is standard information that the college may release for public consumption without prior authorization. It includes: student’s name, address, telephone listing, college email address, date and place of birth, major fi eld of study, participation in offi cially recognized activities and sports, weight and height of members of athletic teams, photographs, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received and the most recent previous educational agency or institution attended by the student. Students of Mount Saint Mary College may request that directory information not be released without his/her written consent by contacting the Registrar’s Offi ce. Graduates of Mount Saint Mary College may likewise request a ban of release of directory information in the Alumni Directory before publication by sending a written request to the Alumni Affairs Offi ce.

In certain courses, students may be required to purchase some supplies. There is no major in art. Minor in Art A minor in art requires 18 credits in the discipline, including ART 1030 (Art History). The remaining 15 credits can be earned in any of the art courses, with ART 2110 (Dynamics of Color and Design) strongly recommended. BIOLOGY Biologists study the living world and attempt to understand the nature of life itself in all of its complexity and majesty. The biology faculty realizes that in order to develop the knowledge and understanding that provide insight into life’s mysteries requires a liberal arts education with a broad exposure to science. True specialization is relegated to post- graduate education. It is this philosophy that has guided the structure of the biology major. What Can One Do with a Biology Major? Students pursuing a major in biology have many career paths available to them. In addition to the traditional careers in medicine, veterinary medicine and dentistry, many allied health professions begin with a major in biology. Optometry, podiatry, chiropractic, medical technology, cytotechnology, physical therapy and careers as physicians’ assistants all have biology as their foundation. Outside of the health professions there are many varied careers that include zookeepers, museum curators, science writers, agricultural specialists, environmental consultants, genetics councilors, nutritionists, and forensic specialists to name just a few. Students who wish to develop expertise in a sub-discipline of biology, such as physiology, microbiology, immunology, ecology, etc. attend graduate school, working toward either a Master’s degree (M.S.) or a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.). Those trained as research scientists often build careers in academia or in industry. Program Requirements for the Biology Major The biology major consists of a minimum of 27 credits in upper divisional biology courses taken after successful completion of Biological Principles (BIO 1130-1140), or Anatomy and Physiology (BIO 1030-1040). Most majors take Biological Principles as their foundation course. However, students in the physical therapy program take Anatomy and Physiology in lieu of the principles courses. 74 In addition, all biology majors are required to take four one-credit courses of Natural Science Seminar (BIO 1900, 2900, 3900, and 4900) as well as Microbiology (BIO 2020), Genetics (BIO 3020), and Ecology (BIO 4080). Students will also be required to take one organismal biology course (e.g., Animal Physiology (BIO 3010), Vertebrate Biology (BIO 3040), General Botany (BIO 3080), or Parasitology, (BIO 4020)) and one cell/ molecular biology course (e.g. Immunology (BIO 3200), Cellular Biology (BIO 4030), Developmental Biology (BIO 4050), or Biochemistry (BIO 4310)). The remaining upper level biology course can be any other course numbered 200 and above. There are several support courses that biology majors are required to take. These include Chemical Principles (CHM 1510-1520), Organic Chemistry (CHM 2010-2020), General Physics (PHY 2010-2020) and Calculus (MTH 2510-2520). Courses in foreign language, statistics and computer science are also highly recommended. All biology courses above the 1000-level have a pre-requisite of at least one college-level chemistry course with a grade of C or better. All biology courses above 1000-level have a pre-requisite of a C or above in BIO 1140 (Biological Principles II) or BIO 1040 (Anatomy & Physiology II) and a C or above in any other pre-requisite course(s). A biology major must attain a minimum grade point average (GPA) in biology courses of 1.7 by the end of the freshman year and 2.0 by the end of the sophomore year and each succeeding semester. A student who does not maintain the minimum GPA in biology will be asked to withdraw as a biology major. Minor in Biology Students minoring in biology must take a minimum of 11 credits in biology courses numbered 2000 or above in addition to two semesters at the introductory level (BIO 1030-1040 or BIO 1130-1140) for a total of 19 credits. A minimum of fi ve biology credits must be taken at Mount Saint Mary College including one laboratory course numbered above 2000. Minor in General Science A student may obtain a minor in General Science by completing fi ve science courses (a minimum of 18 credits) over three different disciplines. General Science Concentration A General Science concentration is also available for those students planning to obtain childhood education certifi cation. See the description under Interdisciplinary Studies.

The program in biology education at Mount Saint Mary College is designed to prepare teachers to present modern scientifi c concepts in an exciting and dynamic way while also equipping their students with the ability to make educated judgments when the appropriate data is presented. In attempting to do this, the program is designed to give the successful graduate a broad and balanced background that addresses the standards of the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA). All students, after successfully completing this program, will have been exposed to topics that constitute the core competencies, advanced competencies and supporting competencies recommended for teachers by the NSTA. Students will follow a program of courses similar to a Biology major, without the Calculus requirement but including two semesters of earth science and one semester of statistics.

CHEMISTRY EDUCATION As our world increases in technological complexity it is becoming more and more imperative that we educate our youth to be able to function in such a society. The program in chemistry education at Mount Saint Mary College is designed to prepare teachers to present modern scientifi c concepts in an exciting and dynamic way while also equipping their students with the ability to make educated judgments when the appropriate data is presented. In attempting to do this, the program is designed to give the successful graduate a broad and balanced background that addresses the standards of the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA). All students, after successfully completing this program will have been exposed to topics that constitute the core competencies,

84 advanced competencies and supporting competencies recommended for teachers by the NSTA. Students majoring in chemistry and planning to qualify to teach in elementary or secondary schools must take a year of earth science courses (ERS 1030-1040) in addition to the courses listed for the chemistry major. Students who are majoring in chemistry and pursuing education certifi cation are assigned two advisors: one from the Division of Natural Science and one from the Division of Education. BA Chemistry/MSEd Adolescence Education This program is designed for students interested in teaching high school chemistry. A similar 5-year program is available for biology. In fi ve years, students will be able to complete all required courses for a bachelor’s degree in chemistry, a master’s in education degree, and New York State Certifi cation in Adolescence Education. Students will be admitted into the BA Chemistry/MSED Adolescence Education upon application to Mount Saint Mary College in their freshman year. Requirements for entrance and continuing enrollment in the 5-year masters program in Chemistry/Adolescence Education at MSMC are: • Incoming freshmen must have completed high school biology and chemistry, and must meet 2 of the following 3 criteria: a. 85 scholastic average in HS ; b. Top 30% of their graduating class; c. SAT scores of 1000 (critical reading and mathematics). • Students transferring into the program (internally or externally) must have a 3.0 cumulative average, including two semesters of majors-level introductory chemistry with no grade in these introductory courses lower than a B-. • Students must maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point average throughout the fi ve years of the program and must pass ED 2051, Orientation to Teaching. Students who transfer ED 2051 from another college must pass the writing assessment section of ED 2051 at Mount Saint Mary College. • Students in the 5-year Masters Program will be evaluated at the end of each semester. Students who do not meet the minimum 3.0 GPA requirement in any semester will be placed on probation. Only one probationary period will be allowed; students who fail to meet the minimum GPA requirement for more than one semester will be removed from the program and placed into a BA program in Biology or Chemistry. Admissions criteria of the college will be applied along with the maintenance of a 3.0 Grade Point Average throughout the fi ve-year program for those selecting this degree option. For those who may choose to apply for the fi ve-year master’s degree option after initial admission, either as a transfer student or a MSMC student who decides to change majors, will come under the original admissions stipulations at the time they apply for the fi ve-year master’s option. Each student in the program will be assigned two advisers: one from the Division of Natural Science and one from the Division of Education. Students in the fi ve-year master’s degree program may elect to remove themselves from the program and enter a bachelor’s program at Mount Saint Mary College at any time. However, no more than 6 credits of graduate education courses may be counted toward an individual bachelor’s degree if a student leaves the fi ve-year master’s program for any reason. These graduate credits may not then be used toward a master’s degree. Both degrees will be awarded at the completion of the fi fth year of the program.

89 COUNSELING This dual/joint fi ve-year program leads to a bachelor’s in psychology or human services from Mount Saint Mary College and either a master of science in counseling or a master of science in mental health counseling from Pace University. Students spend the fi rst three years at MSMC taking courses to fulfi ll the requirements for a bachelor’s degree and the psychology or human services major, while establishing eligibility for admission into the master’s in counseling program at Pace. Students must reserve 12 credits of open electives in order to take four, 3-credit graduate courses during their fourth year at MSMC. Psychology majors may also use 6 credits for the three electives at the 2000 level or above. The remaining 24 credits of the master’s program are taken at Pace. For both psychology and human services majors, students must complete all General Education requirements for a bachelor’s degree from MSMC. Beyond this, required courses vary within the major. To be eligible for the program, students must have completed 78 credits, including a one-semester internship. Students must have attained a Grade Point Average of 3.0 and a GPA of 3.3 in their major. Students must also have completed PSY 3000 (Principles and Techniques in Counseling) as one of their elective psychology courses. Students meeting these criteria must submit an application to be reviewed at MSMC by the Counseling Advisory Committee. If the CAC recommends acceptance into the Pace counseling program, the Pace graduate counseling admission committee will review the application and make the decision regarding acceptance into the program. CRIMINOLOGY Criminology is the study and exploration of the varied aspects of crime including the process of defi ning crime; victimization and the response of the criminal justice system to that victimization; the response of society to crime, criminals, and victims; and, why people commit crime. Courses within the criminology concentration provide students with opportunity to explore these and many other aspects of the discipline. Students who select the criminology concentration will complete a major in Sociology. As part of that major, they will be required to take courses that provide them with an introduction to the discipline of criminology; an analysis of social problems in the United States; an examination of the creation of laws and reaction to crime by society; various aspects of criminal victimization; and, an exploration to crime, victimization, and criminal justice systems across the world. The criminology concentration is designed to provide students with a general understanding of the discipline of Criminology as well as provide them with the opportunity to explore many of the different and specifi c areas of focus for the discipline. This concentration will prepare students for graduate programs and scholarly careers in sociology, criminology, and social deviance, as well as professional careers in corrections, law enforcement, youth programming, rehabilitation, victim services, insurance and fi nancial fraud counseling, private investigation, and the judicial court system. Program Requirements for Sociology/Criminology Major Students who select the criminology concentration within the Sociology major will be required to complete required courses for the Sociology major (21 credits), and 24 additional credits (15 required and 9 elective) that specifi cally target the criminology concentration. Students must maintain a minimum Grade Point Average of 2.0.

90 Sociology/Criminology students are required to complete the following Sociology courses: SOC 1010, SOC 3040, SOC 3210, SOC 3410, SOC 4070, SOC/HSR 4110, SOC/HSR 4250. In addition, students selecting the criminology concentration must complete: CRI 1110, CRI 2250, SOC 2320, CRI 3130, CRI 3300. Sociology/Criminology students will need to select 3 credits from the following: CRI/SOC 2210, CRI/SOC 3110, CRI/SOC 3310. Finally, Sociology/Criminology must select 6 credits from the following: CRI 2310, CRI 3150, CRI 3160, CRI 3520, CRI 3550, CRI 4110, CRI 4850, CRI 4860, CRI 4900, PSY 4250, PSY 4560, SCI 1001 CYTOTECHNOLOGY This program of study prepares the student for a career as a certifi ed cytotechnologist. Cytotechnologists, working under the direction of a pathologist, help to determine the causes of disease by studying cells from human body tissues and fl uids. The cytotechnologist is trained to microscopically evaluate cellular changes, determining whether they are normal, show alterations associated with benign conditions, or are pre-cancerous or malignant. Cytotechnologists make the fi nal interpretation for normal gynecologic cell samples (Pap tests) and a preliminary interpretation for abnormal gynecologic and non- gynecologic cell samples. Research can be an important component in the completion of daily duties. The curriculum that leads to a BA in biology and a certifi cation in cytotechnology prepares its graduates to work in a variety of settings including academic institutions and hospital and private laboratories throughout the country. Because the completion of the course work leads to a degree in biology, the student also fulfi lls requirements for entrance into graduate and professional schools. The program curriculum is described as 3+1, with three years at Mount Saint Mary College and a fourth year at a school of cytotechnology approved by CAAHEP (Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Program). The fi rst three years of the program are college-based and emphasize the liberal arts and sciences including biology, chemistry, mathematics, and physics. The fourth year course work includes such science courses as Diagnostic Cytology, Anatomy, Embryology, Endocrinology, Microbiology, Histology, Immunology, Physiology, and Cytochemistry of each organ system accessible to examination by cytologic methods. Other areas covered are Aspects of Management, Quality Control, Specimen Preparation, Research Techniques, and Safety Regulations. The required courses for the major at Mount Saint Mary College are: MET/CTE 1010, BIO 1130, 1140, 1900, 2020, 2900, 3200, 4900 plus two upper level biology courses and required related courses, CHM 1510-1520, 2010-2020; MTH 2510-2520; PHY 2010-2020. Highly recommended courses include BIO 3010, 3020, 4020, 4310; CHM 3110; MTH 2070. General education and elective courses are also taken at the college. Students enrolled in this program must successfully complete all pre-clinical courses at MSMC (96 credits) before the start of the senior clinical (4th) year. The three-year sequence of courses preparing students for the clinical year allows them to continue toward a degree in biology without the specialized concentration if at any point in their education their career plans change from Cytotechnology. Students interested in pursuing the fourth clinical year must petition the college program coordinator for evaluation and

91 recommendation to the program by the end of their sophomore year. The fourth year of the program is at an off-campus CAAHEP-approved school of Cytotechnology usually affi liated with a hospital or medical center. Acceptance to an accredited school is the responsibility of each student and involves a selection process by the particular school to which the student is making application as well as the recommendation of Mount Saint Mary College faculty. Cytotechnology students should maintain a minimum of 2.0 Grade Point Average in their science courses. Satisfactory evaluation by science course instructors of a student’s ability to function in a laboratory setting is also required for admission to an accredited school. The college is affi liated with Berkshire Medical Center, Pittsfi eld, MA; New York Medical College, Valhalla, NY; and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY. Students must achieve at least a B in each of the courses in the school of cytotechnology. With the successful completion of the courses in the fourth clinical year, the college will award 30 credits toward a BA in biology with a concentration in cytotechnology. The degree requires a minimum of 120 credits (90 - MSMC and 30 - School of Cytotechnology). Graduates of the program are eligible to sit for the cytotechnologist (CT) certifi cation examination administered by the Board of Registry of the American Society of Clinical Pathologists. Passing this test provides certifi cation as a cytotechnologist EDUCATION Mount Saint Mary College’s teacher education programs are fully accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and by the following professional agencies: Council for Exceptional Children (CEC), International Reading Association (IRA), National Council of Social Studies (NCSS), National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE), National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), and National Science Teachers Association (NSTA). In conjunction with general education courses and an academic major in a liberal arts and sciences content area, the Division of Education offers courses that will permit prospective students to complete academic requirements for initial New York State certifi cation in the areas listed below: Childhood Education (1-6) Childhood Education with middle school extension (7-9) Dual Childhood and Students with Disabilities (1-6) Adolescence Education: Biology (7-12) Chemistry (7-12) English (7-12) Mathematics (7-12) Social Studies (7-12) Spanish (7-12) Adolescence Education with middle school extension (5-6) Dual Adolescence Education and Students with Disabilities (7-12) Students must take all certifi cation courses at Mount Saint Mary College unless otherwise approved by an adviser. The prerequisites for all education courses numbered 2501 and above and for PSY 3071, PSY 3100, PSY 3301 and PSY 3700 are a passing grade in ED 2051 and scores of 85% or better on three Education Profi ciency Examinations offered by the Offi ce of Outcomes Assessment and Developmental Instruction at the beginning of

92 each traditional semester. Students working toward certifi cation must consult with both an education adviser and an adviser in the major each semester. Students enrolled in an education certifi cation program who have earned at least 45 credits must maintain a Grade Point Average of 2.75 to remain in the program. Students whose GPA falls below this minimum at the end of any semester will be granted one additional traditional semester to raise it to 2.75. Failure to do so will lead to dismissal from the education program. Students must also achieve a minimum grade of C+ in all required certifi cation courses to be eligible for student teaching and to be recommended for certifi cation. Students who do not receive a C+ or better in a certifi cation course may repeat the course once. Failure to achieve a grade of C+ or better the second time in the course will lead to dismissal from the program. Fieldwork While completing the teacher education program in childhood or adolescence education, students must complete 100 hours of course-related, supervised fi eldwork before student teaching. Students pursuing dual certifi cation must complete 150 hours, while students pursuing a middle school extension must complete 100 hours before student teaching plus a 3-credit practicum after student teaching. Student Teaching Students must complete a semester of full-time student teaching as arranged and supervised by Mount Saint Mary College within 25 miles of the college. Each student has two placements during the semester (i.e., grades 1-3 and 4-6 for childhood programs or 7-9 and 10-12 for adolescence programs). Students pursuing the dual certifi cation will complete one placement teaching students with disabilities. All certifi cation courses must be completed before student teaching unless otherwise indicated or approved by an adviser. Students pursuing adolescence certifi cation are also required to complete at least 30 credits in the content area before student teaching. The Student Teaching Handbook outlines policies and procedures that are required in order for students to successfully complete the student teaching experience. The college will not accept transfer credits from other institutions to fulfi ll the student teaching requirement. Student teaching must be completed within three years of graduation from Mount Saint Mary College. State Education Department Requirements The New York State Education Department sets all teacher certifi cation requirements, which are subject to change by the Board of Regents. Requirements for New York State initial certifi cation are addressed in the college’s general education requirements, academic majors, and teacher education requirements. As part of general education requirements, all teacher education students must complete at least one semester of study of a language other than English; all childhood education students must have at least one course in art, music or theater; and all adolescence students must complete PHL 3080 (Philosophy of Education). Other requirements include passing scores on the New York State Teacher Certifi cation Examinations (NYSTCE) as follows for all candidates: • Liberal Arts and Sciences Test (LAST) • Assessment of Teaching Skills (ATS-W) (childhood or adolescence) • Content Specialty Test (CST) in the academic major for adolescence candidates or the multi-subject CST for childhood candidates; candidates for dual certifi cation must also pass the CST for teaching students with disabilities.

93 The percentages of MSMC students passing these exams, as reported in the Annual Institutional Report most recently issued by the NYS Education Department at the time of this catalogs publication, are Test # Tested # Passed % Passed LAST 169 165 98 ATS-W 171 171 100 CST - Academic Content Areas – aggregate 157 142 90 CST – Teaching Special Populations – aggregate 126 119 94 Requirements for New York State professional certifi cation include a master’s degree in a functionally related area as defi ned by New York State, earned within fi ve years of receiving an initial certifi cate. The master’s degree and three years of teaching experience, including one year of mentored teaching, qualify applicants for the professional certifi cate from the New York State Education Department. The professional certifi cate must be renewed every fi ve years. This is accomplished by completing at least 175 hours of professional development, usually through the employing district or with additional accredited coursework. A student desiring certifi cation outside New York is responsible for meeting the requirements of the respective state. The student should consult with the appropriate division or department for information concerning the approved majors in the various liberal arts areas. Concentration/Minor in Education In addition to the programs leading to New York State Certifi cation, the Division of Education offers a concentration in education that does not qualify the student for certifi cation. This program would be useful for a student who is interested in learning some of the theory and methods of teaching children and young adults. A minor in education may be elected by any student who is not in the teacher education program at Mount Saint Mary College.

PRE-LAW CONCENTRATION Pre-law is an interdisciplinary studies concentration designed to assist the student in developing the communicative, and analytical and methodological skills important to the legal profession. Under the guidance of the pre-law adviser, the program seeks to provide a broad liberal arts education in order to prepare a student for admission to and success in law school, graduate school or employment in the public and private sector. Law schools do not require prospective students to major in a particular academic discipline. Rather, they recommend a broad, fairly comprehensive liberal arts education, for a lawyer needs more than legal skills and tools. The lawyer should have a wide understanding of political, social, economic and philosophical problems - insights that provide a richer and more complete understanding of the legal profession itself and the place of the law as it functions within the socio-governmental framework. Students enrolled in pre-law must maintain an average of C or better in completing the requirements for the program. Program recommendations Select two and no more than three disciplines for a total of 33 to 48 credits. 1. Business Management and Accounting (9-15 credits) ACC 1050-1060 Financial Accounting and Managerial Accounting BUS 2050-2060 Business Law I, II BUS 3020 Money and Banking BUS 4060 Business and Government ECO 1010 and 1020 are prerequisites for BUS 3020 and BUS 4060. 2.

They will prepare students who wish to become professional mathematicians or use mathematical concepts in their own fi eld of study. Students majoring in mathematics may also qualify for certifi cation in childhood or adolescence education. An appropriate selection of courses will provide the background and skills requisite for mathematical applications in the sciences, social sciences and business areas. The demands of a technological society present many career opportunities for qualifi ed students who can interpret and implement computer- based information. Profi ciency in fundamental mathematical skills is a prerequisite for all science courses and credit-bearing math courses. A mathematics profi ciency examination will be given to the students before registration for these courses. The score on that examination, along with SAT scores and high school performance, will be used to determine the level of the student’s mathematical skill. The level of profi ciency expected and the passing score will be stated for each examination. Each science or mathematics course lists the level of mathematics profi ciency required to enter the course. Those students judged to be defi cient in mathematical skills must remedy the defi ciency or obtain the permission of the appropriate department to enter the above mentioned course. Program Requirements for Mathematics Major A student majoring in mathematics should plan to complete MTH 2510, 2520, 2530, 2650, 3010, 3060, 4040, 4050 and a minimum of 9 additional credits in mathematics courses numbered MTH 2200 or above or CSC 2180, CSC 1900 or CIT 2550 including at least one mathematics course on the 3000 or 4000 level. Elementary or childhood education students may take MTH 2050 and 2060 toward the 9 credit electives. Six credits in a related area of applied mathematics are strongly recommended (e.g. PHY 2010 2020, BUS 1010 1020 or ECO 1010 1020). A student planning to qualify to teach at the elementary or secondary level follows a similar program with appropriate requisites for certifi cation and subject to advisement. Minor in Mathematics A minor in mathematics requires 21 credits in mathematics courses including MTH 2510-2520 and 2530; and 9 additional credits in mathematics courses numbered MTH 2200 or above.

110 MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY This program of study prepares clinical laboratory scientists to perform laboratory tests which are used by physicians to detect, diagnose, and treat many diseases. Using a variety of precision instruments, medical technologists develop data on human blood, tissues, and a variety of body fl uids. The curriculum that leads to a B.S. in medical technology prepares its graduates to work in clinical laboratories, as well as in the related areas of research, science, industry, public health and health care administration. Completion of the course work in the major also fulfi lls the requirements for entrance into graduate and professional schools. The Mount has a 3 + 1 Medical Technology Program. The fi rst three years of the program are college-based and emphasize the liberal arts and sciences, including biology, chemistry, mathematics and physics, which provide the knowledge base for the applied sciences. Program Requirements for Medical Technology Major Required courses are: Introduction to Medical Technology (MET 1010), Biological Principles (BIO 1130-1140), Microbiology (BIO 2020), Immunology (BIO 3200) plus two other upper level biology courses. There are several support courses that medical technology majors are required to take. These include Chemical Principles (CHM 1510-1520), Organic Chemistry (CHM2010-2020); Calculus (MTH 2510-2520); and General Physics (PHY 2010-2020). Highly recommended courses include: Animal Physiology (BIO 3010), Genetics (BIO 3020), Parasitology (BIO 4020), Biochemistry (BIO 4310); Analytical Chemistry (CHM 3110); Instrumental Methods of Chemical Analysis (MET 4110), and Elementary Statistics (MTH 2070). Students enrolled in this program must successfully complete all pre-clinical courses (98 credits) before the start of the senior clinical-academic year. This three-year sequence of courses preparing students for the clinical year allows them to continue toward a degree in biology if at any point career plans change from medical technology. The next phase of the program is off-campus and hospital-based. Acceptance to an accredited hospital-based program is the responsibility of each student. This clinical-academic program includes didactic and laboratory instruction in each of the disciplines within medical technology. Required courses during the senior year include Clinical Orientation (MET 4010), Clinical Microbiology (MET 4120), Immunohematology (MET 4130), Hematology (MET 4140), Urinalysis (MET 4150), Clinical Chemistry (MET 4160), Serology (MET 4170), and Coordinating Seminar (MET 4180). The college will award 30 credits for the successful completion of the clinical-academic program and grant the B.S. in medical technology. Credit will be granted for studies completed only at schools of medical technology accredited by the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS). The degree requires 128 credits. Affi liations with several NAACLS-accredited hospital-based programs in medical technology provide MSMC students with a preferential review of their admissions applications. The hospitals are: Danbury Hospital, Danbury, CT; St. Mary’s Hospital, Waterbury, CT; and The Valley Hospital, Ridgewood, NJ, and Rochester General Hospital, Rochester, NY.

111 With the completion of the fourth year, students will be eligible to sit for national certifi cation examinations to become certifi ed as medical technologists/clinical laboratory scientists by such agencies as the Board of Registry of the American Society of Clinical Pathologists and the National Certifi cation Agency for Medical Laboratory Personnel. Medical technology majors are required to maintain a minimum 2.0 grade point average (GPA) in science and attain a grade of C in each pre-clinical major concentration course with a MET course number. Satisfactory evaluation by instructors of science courses of a student’s ability to function in a laboratory setting is also required for admission to a hospital-based program. Students must also attain at least a grade of C in each of the following courses: MET 4010, 4120, 4130, 4140, 4150, 4160, 4170, 4180. An alternative route to a career in medical technology is also available. A student may pursue a four-year sequence of courses as a biology major, while satisfying the course requirements for admission to a medical technology program. The college will award the B.A. in biology. The student would then enter a clinical-academic program for medical technology as a fi fth-year student. A bachelor of science in medical technology will be awarded with the satisfactory completion of the program.

They must hold a current, valid license to practice nursing and have had at least six (6) months work experience in clinical practice as a graduate nurse. Qualifi ed RNs and LPNs are admitted to the single undergraduate nursing curriculum offered by Mount Saint Mary College. Courses in the baccalaureate nursing major are at the upper division level and have substantial prerequisites in the arts and sciences for admission to them. Students may be granted advanced standing after evaluation of college transcripts and satisfactory performance on

114 profi ciency examinations in nursing. Applicants should consult the Division of Nursing for details of the requirements for advanced standing. Students with an associate of applied science (A.A.S.) or an associate of science (A.S.) in nursing, who enter the nursing program, are awarded transfer credit for acceptable liberal arts and science courses. Courses in nursing taken in an associate degree program are not transferable to the B.S. in Nursing at Mount Saint Mary College.Grading Nursing and Health Courses Grades will be given as per the following standard, approved by the Nursing Division, May 1997. The passing grade for all Nursing courses is C (73) or better for students who matriculated prior to September 2006. Students who were admitted in September 2006 and thereafter must attain a C+ (76) in all NUR and HLT courses. Nursing students must attain a minimum grade of C in each required natural science course and C+ in NUR and HLT courses for the grade to apply toward nursing degree requirements. Grades of D or greater in BIO 1030 and CHEM 1050, taken at Mount Saint Mary College are acceptable only if a grade of C is achieved in the second half of those respective courses, BIO 1040 and CHEM 1060. Please note that grades of C-, D+, and D will not be allowed to transfer to Mount Saint Mary College. Students are NOT permitted to take NUR or HLT courses until they achieve a C or greater in the required prerequisite course (unless otherwise stated in either the Nursing Handbook or the College Catalogue). Students may not register for NUR or HLT courses if the prerequisite for the course has not been met. Nursing students receiving less than the required grade of C in natural science courses and less than C+ in NUR and HLT must confer with their academic advisor and arrange to repeat such course as soon as possible. Students are permitted a maximum of one (1) NUR or HLT course repetition for the entire undergraduate nursing program. Any student who earns a grade of less than C+ (76 percent) in any NUR or HLT course may repeat the course one time. Such repetition may only occur once. If the student earns a grade of less than C+ (76 percent) in a second (2nd) NUR or HLT course, the student will be dismissed from the nursing program. Students who fail the clinical or college laboratory component of a required NUR course will receive a grade of F for the fi nal grade. Clinical Nursing Course Requirements Nursing students must demonstrate profi ciency in clinical calculations each clinical semester. Such profi ciency is a requirement for passing. Nursing majors enrolled in clinical nursing courses must have a current American Heart Association Basic Life Support course certifi cation. Students are also required to have an annual health exam with PPD and up-to-date immunizations. Students are strongly encouraged to complete the Hepatitis B series before beginning clinical courses; students who do not complete this immunization must sign a statement of declination. The student assumes the responsibility and expense for these requirements. All matriculated students who are planning a leave of absence (LOA) or an interruption of their course work must complete and fi le a Leave of Absence Form in the Division of Nursing. In order to return to the nursing program without penalty, students must be in good academic standing and the leave of absence should not exceed the time period of one year. In the event the LOA exceeds one year, the student will need to meet with the division chairperson and appropriate faculty to determine the possibility of readmission. 115 Reacceptance to the nursing program is contingent upon demonstration of current competency in nursing knowledge and skills, as determined by the nursing faculty. Students must complete all requirements for the Bachelor of Science degree in nursing within seven years from initial matriculation. Pre-Optometry Mount Saint Mary College (MSMC) offers a 3 + 4 (seven years) joint degree program in Optometry in conjunction with SUNY College of Optometry. The student completes the general education requirements for a BA in biology at MSMC in three years and after four years of professional studies at SUNY College of Optometry receives an O.D. degree. After the successful completion of the fi rst year of professional studies, 31.5 credits of course work will be transferred to MSMC and MSMC will award the student a BA in biology. To enter the program, a high school applicant must have a minimum SAT of 1300 (at least 670 math) or an ACT score of 29, a high school average of at least 93 out of 100, and be in the upper 10% of their high school class.

The Pre-professional Advisory Committee at MSMC must provide a positive letter of recommendation and the student must pass reasonable interview standards and submit all required application material. PHILOSOPHY Although there is no major in philosophy, its broad range of electives should fi ll the needs of the inquiring student. Students taking courses in philosophy will fi nd themselves confronted with some of the great questions that assail the thinking person. Insights and theories formulated by major philosophers of the Western and Eastern intellectual traditions are examined and the basic skills of philosophical thought are mastered. It is the aim of the Division of Philosophy and Religious Studies to teach each student to philosophize. The general education requirement in philosophy may be fi lled by any philosophy course except Independent Study. No student may apply more than three credits at the 1000 level toward the degree. Minor in Philosophy The division offers a minor in philosophy consisting of 18 credits; at least 15 credits must be beyond 1000 level. The student should plan a minor program with a member of the division. The program must meet the following requirements: • at least 3 credits at the 2000 level; • at least 3 credits at the 3000 level; • at least 3 credits at the 4000 level.

116 Minor in Ethics The division offers a minor in ethics consisting of 18 credits; at least one course must be a religious studies course. Students minoring in ethics must take PHL 2100 and one course in non-Western thought from philosophy or religious studies. The remaining 12 credits shall be in applied ethics from either philosophy or religious studies. Anyone considering graduate work in the fi eld of philosophy should contact a member of the division for a reading list and for advisement concerning courses. PHYSICAL EDUCATION The role of the physical education program is to provide an instructional program in physical activity. Physical education courses are offered as elective courses for all degree students. The maximum number of credits in physical education applicable toward the minimum 120-credit degree requirement is three credits. All courses are offered for 1, 2 or 3 credits during a traditional term with Pass/Fail grading. PRE-PHYSICAL THERAPY Modern physical therapists are prepared to treat patients ranging in age from infants to the elderly. Their work is performed in settings as diverse as outpatient clinics, schools, and specialized departments within hospitals. Within these settings, physical therapists assist patients in dealing with problems such as orthopedic maladies (neck and back pain, the rehabilitation of joints following corrective surgery and assisting patients in pain reduction and increased mobility) and aiding patients in regaining an acceptable quality of life (the result of developmental abnormalities, disease, severe accidents, heart attacks, or strokes). Within the context of today’s health care system, physical therapists are specialized in examining and treating individuals with impairment of their daily lives, the result of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular problems. To prepare for the demands of such a profession students must attend a postgraduate program of physical therapy and upon the successful completion of that program they are required to pass a national examination and be licensed in the state in which they wish to practice. Pre-Physical Therapy at Mount Saint Mary College The pre-physical therapy program at Mount Saint Mary College is designed to prepare students for admittance into postgraduate programs in physical therapy. This program is a distinctive blend of courses in the life and physical sciences, while also including courses in psychology, other social sciences, and the humanities. Along with their course work, students are required to obtain experience in a variety of physical therapy settings. The assortment of courses taken in the sciences provides the student with the knowledge and skills necessary to successfully complete a graduate program in physical therapy. The Pre-Physical Therapy Program offered at Mount Saint Mary College consists of two tracks leading to a Bachelor of Arts in biology or psychology from the Mount and a doctorate in physical therapy (D.P.T.) from New York Medical College (NYMC). The typical program for most students will be a 4 + 3 program. In this program, students will complete their bachelor’s degree either in biology or psychology, while taking the prerequisite courses for entrance into the Physical Therapy Program at NYMC. Upon meeting the requirements of the program, candidates will make application to NYMC. After successful completion of the program, students will be awarded a D.P.T. from NYMC. Through a special agreement with NYMC those students whose academic performance is outstanding can apply for admissions to NYMC after attending only three years at the Mount. Upon the completion of the fi rst year at NYMC the student will be awarded 117 a Bachelor’s degree from Mount Saint Mary College. After completing the program at NYMC the student will be awarded a D.P.T. from NYMC. Program Requirements for Pre-Physical Therapy The following prerequisite courses are taken during the fi rst three years of study at Mount Saint Mary College and represent the minimum prerequisites for entrance into NYMC: Three courses in biology, including human anatomy and physiology Two courses in chemistry (with lab) Two courses in physics (with lab) Two courses in psychology of which one must be general or introductory psychology One course in mathematics One course in statistics To be eligible for our special admissions agreement with NYMC, students must earn a minimum overall GPA of 3.0 in their freshman year and after the completion of 50 credits the student’s GPA should be a 3.2 or higher. At the time of application, the minimum GPA in prerequisite courses must be a 3.0. Throughout the course of the program a student is only permitted to earn one (1) grade lower than a B-. All remaining courses must be B’s or higher. Students must also demonstrate computer literacy and have acquired 50 hours of on-site volunteer observational experience in a physical therapy setting, of which 20 hours must be in an acute care/hospital environment. Candidates must also be certifi ed in fi rst aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation. After these requirements are met, the student then applies and interviews for admission into the Physical Therapy Program at New York Medical College.

PRE-LAW (see Interdisciplinary Studies) PSYCHOLOGY Courses in psychology are designed to serve a number of purposes: to satisfy intellectual curiosity; to offer insights into human behavior, personal and social; to offer another dimension to the studies of those involved in education and nursing, in particular, and all disciplines in general; to prepare those choosing a major in psychology for graduate school and careers in the helping professions. Students with the baccalaureate degree in psychology have a fi rm foundation for entry-level careers in social service agencies, consumer advocacy, business (such as personnel work and organization development) and community improvement groups. In addition, the psychology degree constitutes strong preparation for graduate studies. Program requirements for Psychology Major Students majoring in psychology must take a minimum of 35 credits with an average of C or better. They study a core of psychological disciplines including the following required courses: PSY 1010, 3030 (or 3320), 3050, 3060, 3210, 4250, 4440, 4800, 4850 and 4900 plus two electives at the 3000 level or above. PSY 1010 (General Psychology) is a prerequisite for all courses numbered 2000 and above. Students majoring in psychology who plan to enroll in the 3 + 2 Master’s in Social Work Program at Fordham University must also take HSR/SW 1030 (Introduction to Social Work). Minor in Psychology Students wishing to minor in psychology (18 credits) must take PSY 1010 and 15 credits in courses numbered 2000 and above. PUBLISHING This dual/joint fi ve-year program leads to a Bachelor of Arts degree in English from Mount Saint Mary College and a master’s degree in publishing from Pace University. During their fi rst three years, students take all their coursework at MSMC. In their senior year, students take two to three undergraduate courses per term at MSMC and two graduate courses per term at Pace. The fi fth year of study is exclusively at Pace. For further information, contact MSMC’s Division of Arts and Letters. RELIGIOUS STUDIES The religious studies program affords students the opportunity to pursue studies in either religious studies or biblical studies, leading, if they so desire, to a minor in either of these areas. To minor in either religious studies or biblical studies, a student needs 18 credits, 12 in the selected minor area and 6 in the alternative area. The Religious Studies curriculum provides an opportunity for a multi-faceted refl ection on the religious dimension of the human experience. Students are introduced to the

121 religious patterns of humanity in a worldwide perspective. The tradition of the Dominican Order includes “disputatio” (respectful dialogue) and the search for “veritas” (truth) in all disciplines. The concepts of the sacred work of “study,” one of St. Dominic’s Nine Ways of Prayer, is examined as the education philosophy of the founders of Mount Saint Mary College. SCIENCE Majors are available in Biology, Chemistry, Medical Technology, and Interdisciplinary General Science for elementary education students (See GENERAL SCIENCE under INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES). Programs are available in pre-physical therapy, pre- podiatry, pre-optometry, cytotechnology, and pre-speech language pathology. Please refer to each of these majors or programs under the appropriate heading in the catalog. Minor in Biology Students minoring in biology must take a minimum of 11 credits in biology courses numbered 2000 or above in addition to two semesters at the introductory level (BIO 1030, 1040, 1130, 1140) for a total of 19 credits. A minimum of fi ve biology credits must be taken at Mount Saint Mary College including one laboratory course numbered above 2000. Minor in Chemistry Students minoring in chemistry must take CHM 1510-1520, 2010-2020 and one advanced chemistry course with a laboratory. Minor in General Science A student may obtain a minor in General Science by completing fi ve science courses (a minimum of 18 credits) over three different disciplines. SOCIAL SCIENCES The Social Sciences major is designed to give students wide exposure to the social sciences while concentrating in one particular discipline. The student may choose to concentrate his/her studies in History, History/Political Science, Psychology or Sociology and distribute the remaining credits over two other areas. In doing so the student receives a strong foundation in the theories, research techniques and analytical skills of one of the social sciences while developing an understanding of the relationship between this discipline and the other social sciences. This major is particularly useful to students who are interested in a childhood teaching or a social service career. Program Requirements for Social Sciences Major The student majoring in social sciences will complete a total of 39 credits. These credits must be distributed in a “21-9-9” sequence with 21 credits in one of the following areas of study: history, history/political science, psychology or sociology. The remaining 18 credits must be distributed equally in two of the other three areas of study. Either history or history/political science may be chosen but not both. A minimum of 12 credits must be at the 3000/4000 level. In the case of a concentration in history/political science, a minimum of 9 credits should be taken in both history and political science. There is no minor in social sciences. Students majoring in social sciences are required to maintain a cumulative average of C or better for the major. Social sciences majors who are pursuing childhood education certifi cation must concentrate in history or history/political science. The following psychology courses

122 required for teacher certifi cation may not be used to fulfi ll their social science requirements in the major or general education: PSY 2040, 2400, 3010, 3071, 3100, 3301 and 3401. SOCIAL WORK Students interested in social work may wish to pursue a dual/joint fi ve-year program that would lead to a B.A. in human services, sociology or psychology from Mount Saint Mary College, and an M.S.W. in social work from Fordham University’s School of Social Services. In this 3 + 2 Program, students spend the fi rst three years at the Mount taking a combination of liberal arts courses designed to fulfi ll the general education requirement for a bachelor’s degree and courses which fulfi ll the requirements for a human services, sociology or psychology major while, at the same time, establishing the student’s eligibility for admission to the M.S.W. program at Fordham. For all majors, SW 1030 (Introduction to Social Work) is a prerequisite for admission into the Fordham 3 + 2 Program. All students must also complete all general education/core requirements for a B.A. degree from the Mount. Beyond this, required courses vary with the major. Following are the courses that must be taken in addition to SW 1030 during the fi rst three years at Mount Saint Mary College for each eligible major in order for the student to be considered for acceptance into the Fordham M.S.W. 3 + 2 Program: Human Services: SOC 1010, PSY 1010, HSR 2110, HSR 2250, HSR 2510, SOC 2410, HSR 3010, HSR 4110, HSR 4250, HSR 4800, HSR 4850 and 6 elective credits to be selected from: PSY 3000, PSY 3030, PSY 3050, PSY 3230, PSY 3320, PSY 3350, PSY 4250, PSY 4210, PSY 3560, SOC 2320, SOC 2600, SOC 2700, SOC 3040, SOC 4910, SOC 4710, and HSR 3050. Sociology: SOC 1010, , SOC 2410, SOC 3040, SOC 3210, SOC 3410, SOC 4070, SOC 4110, SOC 4250, HSR 3010 and 6 elective credits in sociology. Psychology: PSY 1010, PSY 3050, PSY 3210, PSY 3320 or PSY 3030, PSY 4250, PSY 4319, PSY 4440, PSY 4800, PSY 4850 and 9 elective credits in psychology. To be eligible for admission into the M.S.W. Program at Fordham, students must attain a 3.0 Grade Point Average during the three years at Mount Saint Mary College. All admission requirements must be completed by the end of the sixth semester. Students meeting these criteria must submit an application, which will be reviewed at Mount Saint Mary College by the Social Work Advisory Committee. If they recommend acceptance into the Fordham program, the Fordham University School of Social Services will then make a fi nal decision on the application. This accelerated program is competitive and there are a limited number of positions of entry into the professional phase at Fordham. Students, who do not gain admission into the professional program at Fordham during their third year, may remain at the Mount and complete the requirements for their B.A. degree. These students may apply to Fordham or other M.S.W. programs for admission after completing their B.A. degree.

123 SOCIOLOGY The study of sociology provides students with valuable information and techniques that are applicable to a myriad of professional careers. Students interested in careers in primary and secondary education, law, social work, health care, business, marketing, public service and higher education fi nd considerable value in the sociological perspective. The courses offered within sociology attempt to meet the varied needs of the student body. Hence, the three major goals of sociology are: 1. to provide the student with an understanding of the sociological perspective and its universal application to human behavior; 2. to provide the student with skills and knowledge needed for professional careers and/ or graduate school; and 3. to expose the student to the diverse orientations within the discipline of sociology. Program Requirements for Sociology Major Students majoring in sociology must take a minimum of 33 credits in the discipline and maintain a cumulative average of C or better. The student of sociology is required to complete the following courses: SOC 1010, SOC 3040, SOC 3210, SOC 3410, SOC 4070, SOC 4110, SOC 4250, and 12 elective credits. ANT 1020 may be used as credit toward the sociology major. SOC 1010 is a prerequisite for all 2000, 3000 and 4000 level courses. Minor in Sociology A student wishing to minor in sociology will be required to take 18 credits of sociology. At least 3 credits must be at the introductory level and, of the remaining 15 credits, at least 3 must be at the 2000 level. PRE-SPEECH LANGUAGE PATHOLOGY Speech language pathology is the study of individuals, of all ages, experiencing problems with speech, language and swallowing. These diffi culties can be either the result of congenital disorders or acquired through disease or accidents. Speech language pathologists (SLP) are trained in the assessment, treatment and prevention of communication disorders. Most SLP’s work in settings such as hospitals, rehabilitation centers, schools and private practice. To carry out the duties of a SLP, individuals need to be strong students with a broad academic background having taken courses in the sciences, mathematics, and humanities. Pre-Speech Language Pathology Program at MSMC The admissions agreement with New York Medical College (NYMC) permits a student to attend Mount Saint Mary College, earn an undergraduate degree in ANY MAJOR, and upon the successful completion of NYMC’s admissions requirements, be accepted into its Master of Science program in Speech Language Pathology. The master’s degree in speech pathology at New York Medical College leads to qualifi cation for licensure and credentials necessary for entry into the profession. Coursework emphasizes diagnosis and treatment of medically involved patients from pediatrics through geriatrics. Clinical rotations include tertiary care hospitals, rehabilitation centers, outpatient clinics, and schools for children with special needs. The medically oriented curriculum and training are enriched by integration of resources from the schools of public health, medicine, and basic medical sciences. Students would also be able to

124 work within school systems depending upon the completion of courses and requirements dictated by the licensing state. Program Requirements for Pre-Speech Language Pathology Students may select any major at MSMC to prepare themselves for entrance into New York Medical College’s Masters program in speech language pathology. The program consists of the following prerequisite courses and represents the minimum requirements for entrance into NYMC: Two courses in Human Anatomy and Physiology Two courses in Physics (with lab) Two courses in Psychology including Introductory Psychology One Course in Statistics Students are encouraged to take additional courses that enhance their communication skills, such as: Creative Writing Public Speaking In the freshman year students must achieve a Grade Point Average of 2.67 in the prerequisite courses with no grade lower than a C and an overall GPA of 2.67 or higher. By sophomore year the student should have a minimum prerequisite GPA of 2.67 with no grade lower than a C in the prerequisite courses and an overall GPA of 3.0. Upon the successful completion of degree requirements, the student should have a minimum prerequisite GPA of 2.67, with no grade lower than a C in those courses and an overall GPA of 3.4. Students must also demonstrate computer literacy and have acquired 25 hours of observational experience either at NYMC or a NYMC-approved facility. Candidates must also be certifi ed in fi rst aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation. After these requirements are met, the student then applies and interviews for admission into the Speech Pathology Program at New York Medical College. As part of this program, applicants are exempt from taking the Graduate Records exam and would be granted early acceptance during the fall of their senior year. THEATRE ARTS The aim of the courses in Theatre Arts is to increase enjoyment, understanding and performance; to develop critical judgment and taste; to provide for enrichment of the student’s theatrical and professional life. Any theatre course may be used to fulfi ll the general education requirement in the fi ne arts area. There is no major in Theatre Arts. Minor in Theatre Arts A minor in theatre arts requires six courses (18 credits) in the discipline and must include THR 1080 and THR 3380 or 3420. The remaining credits may be earned by completion of theatre courses (THR) and designated dramatic literature courses dual-listed with English (THR/ENG). Minor in Theatre Arts and Music Students who wish to minor in theatre arts and music should complete a total of 18 credit hours in these combined disciplines, 9 credits in theatre arts and 9 credits in music. A minimum of 3 credits must be taken in performance such as THR 3380 or MUS 1650/1660.

125 COURSE DESCRIPTIONS Course Classifi cation Lower division courses are 1000 and 2000 level courses; upper division courses are 3000 and 4000 level courses. A course identifi ed by two numbers and separated by a hyphen (i.e. 1010-1020) means that the fi rst course, identifi ed by the lower number, is a prerequisite for the second course, identifi ed by the higher number. A slanted line between two course numbers (i.e. 3010/3020) means that the fi rst course is not a prerequisite of the other. The number set within the parenthesis following the course title is the number of semester credits assigned to successful completion of the course (i.e.) (3). Interdisciplinary courses are identifi ed by an “I” preceding the course number.
