25th PRESIDENT CUMBERLAND UNIVERSITY HARVILL C. EATON ONE CUMBERLAND SQUARE PRESIDENT LEBANON, TENNESSEE 37087 Letter from the President...

Welcome. Cumberland University is a 162 year-old private, independent, liberal arts college with a commitment to preparing its graduates for a lifetime of learning and success in the workplace, and is the alma mater of many of America’s greatest leaders. It is located in Lebanon, Tennessee. Lebanon is very historic and has preserved the central, town square that has served as a political, commercial and cultural city center since the beginning of the 19th century. Cumberland’s campus is ideally located only one block from the Town Square so every student and visitor immediately understands the strong link between the culture and history of the Cumberland Country and Cumberland University. The Cumberland Country is beautiful and exciting. Lakes, mountains, waterfalls and deep limestone caves surround the campus, yet Nashville is only 20 miles away. Nashville is America’s healthcare capital, home of the Titans and the Predators, and banjos, guitars and Country Music. Indeed, Cumberland University and the Cumberland Country give you the best of both worlds— they are close to Nashville, but a world away. The University is committed to the academic, cultural and professional development of its students. Students who pass through Cumberland’s classrooms take away a lifelong understanding of history, culture, respect and purpose of life. They also are prepared for success in the fast-paced world of the 21st century. The entire campus is fully internet wireless so students and faculty can surf the internet and access their course material from the classroom, dormitory, or even from under one of the beautiful oak trees on the Campus Quadrangle. A broad array of academic majors and study concentrations is available ranging from southern literature to biology and music to business and nursing. Cumberland hires only the best to teach. Each member of the faculty is a true teacher- scholar with a commitment to students and to make courses and dry words in a book come alive with excitement, relevance and that special touch that is the hallmark of a true teacher. You will never forget your Cumberland teacher. Cumberland is special. Would you like to fly? Cumberland is here to provide an experience that you will carry with you throughout your life. It will shape you for success and for an appreciation of culture and life. Cumberland is here to help you to fly away and realize your dreams.

Dates included in this section are tentative. The official calendar/dates for each semester are published in The Timetable of Classes. History of Cumberland University 12 2005–2007 Undergraduate Catalog The History of Cumberland University Founded in 1842, Cumberland received its State charter the following year. It was founded by the leaders of the Cumberland Presbyterian church. A School of Law, the first in Tennessee and the first west of the Appalachian Mountains, was added in 1847 and by 1857 the School of Law was the largest in the South. A School of Engineering was added in 1852 and a School of Theology in 1854.

The Civil War interrupted Cumberland’s progress when University Hall, designed by Philadelphia architect William Strickland, was burned to the ground after Union occupancy. A student wrote across a ruined Corinthian column the Latin word Resurgam—I will arise—and the mythical phoenix became the institutional symbol. By 1866, all departments were in operation in various locations in the town of Lebanon. In 1892, Cumberland moved to its present location on forty-four acres in a residential neighborhood when Memorial Hall was constructed.

For nearly a century after the Civil War, Cumberland maintained a reputation for academic excellence. After World War II Cumberland experienced several changes in sponsorship and programs. In 1946, the Tennessee Baptist Convention assumed control of the University, ending a century of operation under the auspices of the Presbyterian Church. In 1951, the Tennessee Baptists closed the College of Arts and Sciences and operated only the School of Law. In 1956, the Board of Trust secured an amendment to the Charter, changed the institution to a private, independent corporation, and re- opened the College of the Arts and Sciences as a two-year junior college, known as Cumberland College of Tennessee. In 1962, the assets of the School of Law were transferred to Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama.

The Board of Trust expanded the academic programs of the Junior College in 1982, returned Cumber- land to a four-year, degree-granting institution, and resumed the name Cumberland University. Since then, Cumberland has expanded the academic program to include many new majors and specialized student learning opportunities.

The University believes that a broad education, based in the liberal arts, is the best foundation for a lifetime of learning in a complex world. Stu- dents have come from every state in the nation and from many foreign countries. Its alumni include fourteen (194) governors, more than eighty (80) members of the United States Congress, two (2) Supreme Court Justices, three (3) United States ambassadors, and United States Secretary of State and founder of the United Nations, Cordell Hull. Today, Cumberland University continues to grow as a distinguished institution offering educational opportunities that are responsive to the changing needs of society and the workplace. 2005–2007 Undergraduate Catalog 13 General Information—Campus Facilities CAMPUS FACILITIES Baird Chapel: Baird Chapel features an elegant Art Nouveau ceiling, portraits of individuals important to Cumberland University history, and a beautiful stained-glass window depicting the symbol of the Phoenix.

Winning Continue to recruit the best student-athletes possible to build on the winning tradition of Cumberland University Athletics and to build community events around the successes of our student-athletes, coaches, and teams. Intercollegiate Athletics 46 2005–2007 Undergraduate Catalog Historical Highlights of Cumberland Athletics For more than a century, Intercollegiate Athletics have been a major part of the Cumberland Univer- sity educational environment. Intercollegiate Athletics began in 1889 when Laban Lacy Rice of Madisonville, Kentucky, competed in a track and field meet in Nashville, hosted by Vanderbilt Univer- sity. Since that day, student-athletes and athletic competition have become mainstays in the life of the institution. For over a hundred years, thousands of young men and women have participated in a variety of sports, including baseball, basketball, boxing, cheerleading, cross-country, football, golf, gymnastics, softball, soccer, tennis, volleyball, and wrestling. These student-athletes have won numerous championships, and have been a part of extraordinary events during their collegiate competitive years while at Cumberland.

Football Cumberland began Football on October 26, 1894, in a game against Peabody College, Nashville, Tennessee. The final score was 6–6. The season of 1903 served during the early years as the pinnacle for this Cumberland University sport. That season started with a 6–0 win over Vanderbilt University, and continued with a five-day road trip that saw wins over Tulane University, Louisiana State University, the University of Alabama, as well as Grant University of Chattanooga; total scores being 250–0. After a post-season game with Clemson University on Thanksgiving Day, the then Clemson head coach John Heisman (of later Heisman Trophy fame) proclaimed Cumberland the Southern Champion. This game was believed, by some, to be the first invitational post-season championship football game in the South.

Football has had its ups and downs at Cumberland. The sport was dropped in 1906, resumed in 1909, began again in 1912, dropped in 1915, only to play one game in 1916, which was the memorable 222–0 game with Georgia Tech which was played in Atlanta. The program was on-again-off-again through the 1920s and in 1932 the program was restored under the direction of Garland ‘‘Gus’’ Morrow, a former Vanderbilt star.

It was in 1935 that Lindsey Donnell led the Bulldogs to a spectacular championship season, winning Little All-American honors for himself and setting a national yardage-gained record that stood until O. J. Simpson of the University of Southern California exceeded it in 1967. The program was dropped again during the ‘‘great war.’’ In 1947, Cumberland football had a 6–0 win over Florida State University, going on to win the Tennessee Valley Championship. Football at Cumberland was again halted from 1956–1982, while the University went to two-year status. Under the leadership of President Thomas Mills, Cumberland returned to the gridiron in September, 1990, under the direction of Coach Nick Coutras. Mr. Coutras headed the program until 1993 when Coach Herschel Moore took over the reins. With Coach Moore running his nationally-known Wing-T offence, the Bulldogs have made three post-season appearances: the NAIA playoffs in 1993, and the CMH Bowl in both 2001 and 2002. The overall record for the Bulldogs under Coach Moore is 61 wins to 44 losses.

Baseball Baseball at Cumberland has seen great success through its history. Beginning in 1890, Cumberland baseball has traditionally been one of the premier athletic programs. In 1890, brothers Labon Lacy Rice of Kentucky pitched the first curve ball ever seen in the region to his brother, Cale Young Rice. In 1902, the team only lost two games, in 1904 the team had only one loss and in 1908, the team went undefeated winning the Southern College Championship. There were championships again both in 1909 and 1910.

There were no teams in 1931 or 1932, but baseball continued its success through the 1930s and 1940s. As a two-year institution, Cumberland won championships in 1968, 1969, and 1980. During one 2005–2007 Undergraduate Catalog 47 Intercollegiate Athletics successful year, Coach Mickey Englets’ team was No. 1 in the nation for the entire season before losing the top spot at the end.

Under the direction of Coach Woody Hunt, the Bulldog Baseball Program has continued success winning fifteen conference champions (1986, 1989–2002), reaching the National Association of Inter- collegiate Athletics (N.A.I.A.) World Series seven times, winning this past season (2004), finishing runner-up (1995), third (1993,1996) and fifth (1997).

Men’s Basketball Basketball at Cumberland rivaled Baseball for popularity during its history. First played in 1894, basketball did not achieve regional or national prominence until 1963 under the direction of Coach Van Washer. In 1965, Cumberland first won 20 games in a single season. In 1964 the team won the Region VII championship and participated in the national tournament in Hutchinson, Kansas. Coach Washer’s teams won championships in 1967 and 1968.

Coach Cliff Ellis took over the program in 1972 and continued through the 1974–1975 season. Coach Ellis finished with a 78–12 overall record, including a 27 game winning streak in 1974. Basketball continued to succeed in the 1980s, including the 1987 win over defending NAIA National Champion David Lipscomb University 71–66.

Women’s Basketball Women’s Basketball was first sponsored by the University in 1905. The team called itself the Cumber- land Co-Eds, and used this name until 1951. In 1980, the women’s basketball team rose to No. 2 in the nation, and went to its first national championship in 1982 as a two-year institution. The Lady Bulldogs, under Coach Cheryl Nix, advanced to the NAIA National Championship in 1998–99.

Throughout its history, Athletics has been and continues to be a source of great pride at Cumberland University.

Originally founded in 1940 as the National Association of Intercollegiate Basketball (NAIB), the organization serves as the governing body of the longest continuous national collegiate tournament in any sport. From this small college basketball tournament grew an organization that now includes over 360 colleges and universities and conducts two dozen national championship events. In 2000, the NAIA reaffirmed its purpose to enhance the character-building aspects of sport. Through the ‘‘Champion of Character’’ initiative, the NAIA seeks to create an environment in which every student-athlete, coach, official, and spectator is committed to the true spirit of competition through five tenets: respect, integrity, responsibility, servant leadership, and sportsmanship.

GRADING SYSTEM Students are evaluated in their academic achievements according to a system of letter grades. The following scale is the University standard although some schools, at the direction of their dean, may have a more stringent grading system.

Recommended Grade Numerical Average A 93–100 A− 90–92 B+ 87–89 B 83–86 B− 80–82 C+ 77–79 C 73–76 C− 70–72 D+ 67–69 D 60–66 NOTE: While a grade of ‘‘C−,’’ ‘‘D+’’ and ‘‘D−’’ are considered passing, a student earning these grades may not be allowed to move to a higher level course in the specific academic area if the course with a grade of ‘‘D’’ is a prerequisite for the higher level course. Students are responsible for ensuring they meet the prerequisites for all courses. Furthermore, a grade of ‘‘C’’ (2.0) or higher is required to satisfactorily pass all Developmental Studies courses, ENG 101, ENG 102, and all courses required by the major. F—Failure—(final course average 59 and below) No credit hours earned. FA—Failure to attend.

W—Withdrawal (does not affect grade point average) WP—Withdrawal Passing (does not affect the grade point average) WF—Withdrawal Failing (affects the grade point average in the same manner as an ‘‘F’’). I—Incomplete—A temporary notation used only when course requirements have not been completed due to extenuating circumstances. This temporary grade must be replaced by 2005–2007 Undergraduate Catalog 69 Vital Student Information

a permanent grade prior to the conclusion of the next semester (fall semester, spring semester, or summer semester) or the notation will be changed to a grade of ‘‘F.’’ An ‘‘I’’ affects the grade point average in the same manner as an ‘‘F’’ until it is removed. P—Pass—denotes satisfactory work in a non-letter-grade course (does not affect grade point average). NC—No Credit—denotes no credit given in course (no quality points or semester hours are assigned based on this designation). This grade is available only in ENG 101, ENG 102, MATH 098, and MATH 111 and may be earned one time in any of the four courses.

Grades of ‘‘A’’ through ‘‘C−,’’ ‘‘F,’’ and ‘‘NC’’ will be assigned in ENG 101 and ENG 102. An ‘‘NC’’ (no credit) is assigned only when a student has completed all requirements of the course but fails to meet the minimum standards of competency considered necessary for successful communication skills in further college work. A grade of ‘‘NC’’ is not computed when determining the grade point average (GPA).

GRADUATE/PROFESSIONAL SCHOOL PREPARATION Students considering application to graduate schools should consult the catalog of the institutions they wish to enter for admission and prerequisite requirements. Counsel should be sought from one’s faculty advisor in planning an appropriate undergraduate program of study at Cumberland University.

GRADUATION WITH HONORS The diplomas of graduating seniors receiving baccalaureate degrees will show honors categories based on the following scale:

Cum Laude 3.50–3.74 GPA Magna Cum Laude 3.75–3.89 GPA Summa Cum Laude 3.90–4.00 GPA

These honors categories are announced at commencement based on a student’s cumulative grade point average (GPA) at the end of the semester preceding the commencement ceremony. The honors category is calculated on the combined cumulative grade point average of all accepted college transfer credit hours and Cumberland University course work at the end of the semester preceding the commencement ceremony. Graduating seniors are not eligible for honors until they have completed at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the total semester hours required for the degree in upper division (300–400 numbered courses) credit hours through Cumberland University. If at commencement, a student’s cumulative grade point average (GPA) would allow a higher category than that determined at the end of the semester preceding the graduation semester, the student may, upon written request, receive a substitute diploma indicating the higher category. Courses may not be repeated for the purpose of raising an honors category. The student’s official transcript will reflect the appropriate honors category based on the cumulative GPA of all accepted college transfer work and all Cumber- land University course work.

HOLIDAY CLOSING Holiday recesses and vacation days are announced in the Class Schedule/Timetable published each semester by the Office of Academic Affairs. All University classes and other activities will continue 2005–2007 Undergraduate Catalog 71 Vital Student Information until the announced closing hour and will resume promptly at the announced opening time. Students are expected to adhere to the University calendar.

INTENT TO GRADUATE A student who intends to graduate must file an Intent to Graduate Form in the Office of Academic Affairs within the first two weeks of the term preceding the semester in which he/she plans to graduate and must pay the required graduation fee to the Business Office. The student is responsible for complying with all degree requirements. Students are encouraged to consult their academic advisor in a timely manner to ensure required courses will be available in the last semester to accommodate graduation. The University does not guarantee that course work required for the degree will be offered in the student’s anticipated last semester of enrollment. The Coordinator of Academic Services reviews the Intent to Graduate Form to ensure that all commencement requirements have been satisfied.

INTERNSHIP AND PRACTICUM EXPERIENCES A goal of Cumberland University is to enable the student to apply the knowledge and theories learned in academic courses to professional work environments. Internship and practicum courses are designed to accomplish this goal. Cumberland students enrolled in an internship or practicum experience are supervised by a University faculty member and by a qualified and practicing professional in the work place.

The number of internship and practicum experiences available each semester is limited. Placement of students in internship and practicum settings is the responsibility of the University. Prior approval of the Division Chairperson is necessary for enrollment. Students will not receive academic credit for experiences that are not previously approved, assigned, and supervised by a faculty member. Grading is either pass (‘‘P’’) or fail (‘‘F’’). The prior academic performance of the student is a consideration in the selection and approval process. Normally, only students who have achieved junior or senior standing are eligible to participate. No more than six (6) semester hours of credit may be earned through these experiences, except when noted in a certain program of study. Predetermined and measurable academic objectives must be established for the internship or practicum prior to assignment. Success in the internship or practicum experience is determined, in part, by meeting these objectives.

Internship and practicum experiences will be designed to assist the student in exploring career opportunities and directions, while assisting the student in the development of the professional skills necessary to enter the employment arena after graduation. Internship and practicums described in this section should not be confused with student teaching which is required of education majors, with clinicals which are required of nursing majors, or with legislative internship. Student teaching, clinical experiences, and legislative internships are described elsewhere in this document. For additional information, contact the Office of Academic Affairs.

MEDICAL OR PSYCHOLOGICAL TREATMENT OR WITHDRAWAL The University may require a student to seek specialized treatment or to withdraw from the institution for medical or psychological reasons. These actions will be coordinated by the professional staff in the Office of Academic Affairs.

PREREQUISITES Prerequisite is a course or other specific preparation that must be completed before enrollment in an advanced course. The student is responsible for determining and meeting, prior to registration in a course, all prerequisite requirements for any class in which he/she is enrolled. Prerequisite information is contained in the course description sections of this publication. Specific questions should be addressed to the Vice President of Academic Affairs and Dean in the area in which the student is majoring. As a general rule, a grade of at least ‘‘C’’ or permission of the instructor of the advanced course must be obtained before enrolling in the advanced course.

PROBATION, SUSPENSION, AND DISMISSAL A student will be placed on academic probation if his/her cumulative grade point average (GPA) of course work taken at Cumberland University falls below the criteria listed under ‘‘Good Standing.’’ Academic probation is an emphatic warning that the quality of the student’s work during the probationary semester must improve in order for the student to continue at the University. Unless admitted on probation, a student is given one (1) semester in which to bring the cumulative grade point average (GPA) to the required level for good standing. Failure to meet the required minimum level of good standing will result in academic suspension for a minimum of the next semester.

A student who is academically suspended for the first time must remain out of school for one (1) official semester before being eligible to apply for re-admission on academic probation. 2005–2007 Undergraduate Catalog 75 Vital Student Information

Suspended students who elect not to enroll for at least one semester and who elect to return to the University at a subsequent time may return under academic probation. The student has one (1) semester to earn academic good standing or academic suspension will be imposed. Any work taken at another college or university during the period of non-enrollment due to academic suspension will not be accepted for transfer credit toward fulfilling degree requirements at Cumberland University.

If, after a previous suspension, a student fails to achieve academic good standing at any point, the case will be reviewed by the Deans’ Council to determine an appropriate course of action. Options include another suspension period, dismissal from the University, or an extension of academic probation with stipulations.

QUALITY POINTS—GRADE POINT AVERAGE (GPA) Cumberland University utilizes a four point grading system.

A 4 quality points per credit hour and is calculated in grade point average B 3 quality points per credit hour and is calculated in grade point average C 2 quality points per credit hour and is calculated in grade point average D 1 quality point per credit hour and is calculated in grade point average F 0 quality points per credit hour and is calculated in grade point average W 0 quality points per credit hour (does count as hours attempted, but is not calculated in grade point average) WP 0 quality points per credit hour (does count as hours attempted, but is not calculated in grade point average) WF 0 quality points per credit hour (does count as hours attempted, and is calculated in grade point average) P 0 quality points per credit hour (does count as hours attempted, but is not calculated in grade point average) NC 0 quality points per credit hour (does count as hours attempted, but is not calculated in grade point average) (available only in English Composition 101 and 102, and Math 111) I 0 quality points per credit hour until permanent grade is assigned (does count as hours attempted, and is calculated as ‘‘F’’ in grade point average until replaced with a permanent grade). The student has until the end of the next semester to complete the course. At that point, the ‘‘I’’ is converted to an ‘‘F.’’

The cumulative grade point average (GPA) is a calculation of the student’s course work taken at Cumberland University and accepted transfer course work. GPA is computed by dividing the total number of quality points by the total number of credit hours designated for grade point average calculation. A semester grade report sheet showing semester grades and semester grade point average is mailed to each student at the end of semester. The University reserves the right to hold all grade reports and/or University transcripts until the student has satisfied his/her University obligations.

RE-ADMISSION APPEAL Students who have been academically suspended may be given special consideration for re-admission if the student can present adequate evidence of extenuating circumstances contributing to failure to achieve a sufficient Grade Point Average (G.P.A.). The student must make an appeal for re-admission in writing to the Deans’ Council, and the student must appear before the Deans’ Council. This must be done at least one (1) month prior to the beginning of the semester in which the student wishes Vital Student Information 76 2005–2007 Undergraduate Catalog to enroll. Re-admission to the University is not automatic. If the student is re-admitted, the Deans’ Council reserves the right to specify conditions and terms for re-admission. Multiple appeals for re-admission may not be granted.

REGISTRATION Registration periods are held for each semester. Complete instructions for the registration processes are published in The Class Schedule/Timetable document prepared by the Office of Academic Affairs. Every student is responsible for knowing and following the guidelines in the Class Schedule/Timeta- ble publication.

REGISTRATION POLICY 1. All students must officially register for classes through the Office for Academic Affairs and Registrar. It is the responsibility of the student to comply with all registration and drop/add regulations as stated in the semester Class Schedule/Timetable. 2. The Vice President of Academic Affairs and Dean and Registrar will announce the official registration periods for all classes.

REDUCED REGISTRATION For a variety of reasons, many students cannot or should not be enrolled for twelve (12) or more academic hours during any one term. Less than full-time registration may be elected by the student or required by the University. This process may require additional semesters at the institution to complete all graduation requirements. Students are encouraged to discuss reduced part-time registration with their academic advisor and with the Student Financial Services before officially reducing their course load below full-time.

Students should consult with the Office of Financial Assistance regarding financial liability before seeking a medical withdrawal.

REGULAR EXAMINATIONS AND RELATED ASSIGNMENTS Examinations/tests, oral presentations, reports, library and other projects may be assigned during the semester as the faculty member instructing the course deems necessary and appropriate. Stu- dents are urged to review each course syllabus to determine the dates such assignments are due.

This information is destroyed three (3) years after the last semester of enrollment or after satisfactorily meeting financial obligations.

RELEASE OF INFORMATION Cumberland University complies with all provisions of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA or Buckley Amendment) of 1974 (amended) dealing with the release of educational records. No information, except directory information, contained in any student’s record is released to persons outside the University or to unauthorized persons on the campus without the written consent of the student. It is the responsibility of the student to provide the Office of Academic Affairs and other University offices, as appropriate, with the necessary specific authorization and consent. Disclosure of personally identifiable information contained in the student’s education records is permitted to college officials with legitimate educational interests. A college official is a person employed by the University in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including law enforcement personnel and health staff); a person or company with whom the University has contracted; a person serving on the Board of Trust; or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another college official in performing his or her tasks. A college official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibilities. 2005–2007 Undergraduate Catalog 79 Vital Student Information

GRANTS Grants are awarded on the basis of financial need and/or talent and generally do not require repayment unless an over-award has occurred or incorrect information has been provided.

The Federal Pell Grant Program is the largest Federal student aid program. The purpose of the program is to ensure that all eligible students have at least a portion of the necessary money to meet college expenses. The amount of each Federal Pell Grant depends on the student’s financial need, the cost of education, and the enrollment status of the student.

Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) is an award to help undergraduates pay for their education. The amount that a student receives depends upon financial need, the amount of money the school has for the program, and the amount of aid the student receives from other programs. Federal Pell Grant recipients receive priority in FSEOG awards.

Tennessee Student Assistance Award (TSAA) is a need-based grant provided by the State of Tennessee. Any Tennessee resident who is or will be enrolled as an undergraduate is eligible to apply. The amount of the award depends upon financial need, the cost of education, and the actual amount of time the student will be enrolled during the year. Students are encouraged to apply early.

Athletic Grants at Cumberland University support intercollegiate athletic teams in various sports for men and women. Athletic Grants are available for some, but not all, of the sports depending on the division in which the University participates. Awards are based on need and/or talent. Students must meet the NAIA requirements, as well as the Cumberland requirement of a 2.00 cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA).

Employee Grants are awarded by Cumberland University in the form of tuition remissions for full-time employees with one or more years of service. See the Office of Financial Assistance for details. Vital Student Information—Loans 98 2005–2007 Undergraduate Catalog LOANS Loans are often included in the financial assistance award package. Loans allow students to defer the cost of their education by borrowing now and paying later. Cumberland University is a borrower- based institution.

Federal Perkins Loans, formerly National Direct Student Loans, are low-interest (5%) loans available to undergraduate and graduate students who demonstrate financial need. Repayment and interest charges begin after the student drops below half-time status. All Perkins Loan recipients must participate in an exit interview if they do not plan to return to Cumberland the following academic year. Pell Grant recipients receive priority in Perkins Loan awards.

The Federal Subsidized Stafford Loan Program (GSL) allows undergraduate and graduate students to borrow money from a lender to help pay for college expenses. These low-interest rate loans are usually insured by the guarantee agency in the student’s resident state and reinsured by the federal government. Repayment does not begin, nor does interest accrue, until six months after the student ceases to be enrolled as at least a half-time student. As of October 1986, the Federal Stafford Loan program became a need-based program.

The Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loan allows students who do not qualify for Federal interest subsidies under the Federal Stafford Loan Program to borrow money for college expenses. The combination of subsidized and unsubsidized federal loans for a borrower may not exceed the annual and aggregate limits for loans under the Federal Stafford Loan Program.

The Federal PLUS Loan Program offers parents of dependent students another option in financing their students’ educations. Repayment begins immediately.

The Tennessee Teaching Scholars Program is to encourage Tennessee residents to enter the teaching field. Candidates must have a 2.75 cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) and be admitted to the department of education at their postsecondary institution and be a junior, senior or post baccalaureate candidate. Applicants cannot be a licensed teacher or receive the scholarship while employed in a teaching position The program is administered by the Tennessee Student Assistance Corporation (TSAC). Participants in this program incur an obligation to teach one year in a Tennessee public school for each year an award is received. Failure to fulfill the teaching obligation results in a loan that must be repaid.

The Alternative Loans are available for students from a number of different lenders who participate with the University. These loans generally do not require the completion of Federal Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), may be based upon ability to repay and may carry a slightly higher rate of interest than Federal Subsidized or Unsubsidized Stafford Loans.

WORK PROGRAMS Work Programs provide students with an opportunity to earn a portion of their financial assistance award. Receipt of these funds is contingent upon the fulfillment of the assigned work responsibilities.

Federal Work Study is a need-based program jointly funded by the University and the federal government. Students work part-time jobs on campus and receive the minimum wage. The amount of money a student earns is applied toward his/her charges at the University.

Work Scholarship is an employment program designed to provide students with an opportunity to earn an education by working on campus. Restrictions: Maintain 2.00 cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA). 2005–2007 Undergraduate Catalog 99 Vital Student Information—Loans GRADUATE ASSISTANTS A limited number of graduate students will be able to receive a Cumberland University Graduate Assistantship each year. Interested students that meet the Cumberland University Graduate Pro- gram requirements may apply for a graduate assistantship by completing the application located in the office of the Director of Human Resources.

1. A graduate assistant must be accepted and enrolled in a Cumberland University graduate degree program, which means he or she has completed all graduate admissions procedures, as well as completed a baccalaureate degree. Students accepted into a CU Graduate Program under the status of provisional or an incomplete status must finalize the admissions requirements during the first semester. If the student is not fully accepted into the Cumberland University graduate program prior to the beginning of the second semester, the assistantship will become void. 2. Graduate Assistants must be enrolled for a minimum of six (6) semester hours of graduate work each semester during their assistantship term. 3. Graduate Assistants are to maintain no less than a cumulative grade point average of 3.00 on all graduate coursework to remain in good standing.

Students on probation may remain on probation for a maximum of one semester; if the student’s cumulative grade point average has not risen to the required 3.00 level at the end of one semester of probation, the student may be officially withdrawn from the program as stated in the Graduate Catalog. 4. Graduate Assistants must be enrolled in courses that lead toward the completion of a graduate degree in the student’s Program of Study. The payment associated with course(s) not in the student’s Program of Study will be the responsibility of the graduate assistant. 5. A Graduate Assistant is first and foremost a graduate STUDENT and his/her academic responsibilities take priority over all other responsibilities relative to their assigned graduate assistant position. 6. Graduate Assistants are to demonstrate leadership and responsibility through their actions, upholding the highest professional standards in both their academic and personal endeavors. Failure to uphold the University standards, any issue(s) of poor performance, and/or misconduct will lead to disciplinary sanctions, up to and including loss of the Assistantship. 7. Graduate Assistants are expected to maintain only professional relationships with Cumber- land University Undergraduate students.

Mission of the School of Business & Economics The Labry School of Business and Economics is, and will continue to be, recognized for its excellence in preparing students for professional careers in both the public and private business sectors.

********************************** BACHELOR OF SCIENCE PHYSICAL EDUCATION MAJOR WITH EMPHASIS IN HEALTH

********************************** BACHELOR OF SCIENCE RECREATION ADMINISTRATION MAJOR The Physical Education Major with Emphasis in Athletic Training is designed to prepare students for the exciting profession of athletic training. Athletic Trainers are the front-line professionals dealing specifically with athletes and athletic injuries. The program consists of various academic and clinical experiences. Not only will athletic training students be exposed to numerous academic challenges, but they will also be involved in the daily delivery of athletic healthcare to the intercollegiate athletes at Cumberland University as part of the clinical component of the program. This hands-on experience will better enable the students to complete clinical competencies and give them the opportunity to expand the concepts learned in the classroom. These experiences include practice and game coverage, injury evaluation and treatment, implementing injury prevention techniques, as well as designing and implementing long-term rehabilitation and conditioning programs.

**The program is currently working towards attaining CAAHEP accreditation as an entry-level athletic training education program. The program will be operating as an accredited program and is currently a candidate for accreditation. The program will be eligible for accreditation by the year 2005. Students are encouraged to maintain close contact with the athletic training faculty in order to monitor any changes required in their programs of study and the accreditation status of the athletic training program. 2005–2007 Undergraduate Catalog 213 Health/Physical Education/Recreation ATHLETIC TRAINING PROGRAM MISSION STATEMENT The mission of the Cumberland University Athletic Training Program is to prepare students for the profession of athletic training. The program is designed to give students the knowledge and experience necessary to continue their athletic training career in whatever avenue they decide to pursue. This includes giving students the knowledge and skills necessary to become a certified athletic trainer, to continue on to a graduate program, and/or to prepare them for a job as a certified athletic trainer upon completion of the program.

ADMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS TO THE ATHLETIC TRAINING PROGRAM The athletic training program has a limited enrollment. Therefore, all students must make formal application, be admitted to the program and follow the prescribed course of study. The following are the requirements for admission to the program:

Cumberland University’s Athletic Training Education Program makes no distinction in its admission policies or proecedure on grounds of age, sex, religion, race, color, national origin, or physical handicap.

Prior to the beginning of the athletic training student’s first clinical rotation, he/she will be required to sign and date the technical standards of the Athletic Training Education Program and pass a physical exam that is conducted in order to determine that each student is healthy enough, particiu- larly in the areas of flexibility and strength, to perform the duties required of an athletic trainer as described in the Cumberland University Athletic Training Education Program Technical Standards.

Each student is required to obtain vaccination against the potential infection of hepatitis B at the student’s expense. Vaccination can be made available at a reduced cost through the team physician’s office. All student athletic trainers will document their verification of vaccination against hepatitis B. This shall be kept in the student’s file maintained by the Athletic Training Program Director.

• Maintain a cumulative grade point average of 2.50 or better on a 4.0 scale • Maintain an ‘‘ATEP core’’ grade point average of 3.00 or better on a 4.0 scale

Any student falling below the cumulative or Athletic Training core GPA requirement will be placed on probation for the next semester. At the end of that semester, an improvement in GPA must be made, or suspension from the Athletic Training Program will result. The student will remain on probation until such time as the GPA has attained the required level. Students placed on suspension will be withdrawn from the ATEP and will have to reapply for admission into the ATEP. 2005–2007 Undergraduate Catalog 215 Health/Physical Education/Recreation STUDENT APPEALS PROCESS Athletic Training students who disagree with a decision made concerning their academic or professional behavior (such as denial of admission to the Athletic Training Program or being placed on probation or suspension from the Athletic Training Program because of academic insufficiencies or behavioral problems) have the right to appeal the decision. Athletic Training students are encouraged to discuss their concerns or problems with instructor, supervisor, and/or advisor. If a student is unable to resolve an issue with the involved faculty, he/she is encouraged to submit concerns in writing to the Athletic Training Program Director and meet with the director for further discussion and resolution. The Athletic Training Program Director and faculty will review the appeal at the department level. The student then has the right to appeal at the college level if there is still disagreement following a departmental appeal. This student grievance procedure is outlined in the Cumberland University undergraduate handbook.

ATHLETIC TRAINING HANDBOOK The Athletic Training Program publishes an Athletic Training Handbook detailing policies and procedures for students and staff within the Athletic Training Program. The regulations contained in this document apply to each student enrolled in the program. The Athletic Training Department Hand- book is available on the Cumberland University website and by request from the Athletic Training Program Director.

Mission Statement of the Jeanette Rudy School of Nursing The mission of the Jeanette Rudy School of Nursing is to prepare individuals for professional roles and responsibilities in health care as registered nurses for initial employment, career advancement, and/or advanced education. Cumberland University offers a nursing education program set in a liberal arts environment that emphasizes the holistic development of the student through the integration of knowledge from nursing with the humanities, and life, social, and natural sciences.

Goals of the Jeanette Rudy School of Nursing: 1. To offer a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing (BSN) based in the liberal arts; 2. To prepare a generalist nurse who demonstrates competent clinical skills and leadership qualities through the use of transfer of learning, critical thinking, and sound decision-making; 3. To provide opportunities for individuals with degrees and/or nursing licensure to further their educational preparation; 4. To graduate professional nurses who are responsive to the changing health needs of society.

Objectives of the Jeanette Rudy School of Nursing: At the conclusion of the BSN Program of Study, the graduate will be prepared to:

1. Use critical thinking skills to plan and provide care for individuals, families and communities based on the application of knowledge and research from nursing science, behavioral sciences, and natural sciences as well as the humanities; 2. Use the nursing process to promote, maintain, and/or restore the optimal functioning of clients on the wellness-illness continuum in a variety of health care settings; 2005–2007 Undergraduate Catalog 235 Vital Student Information—Nursing

3. Communicate effectively, using a variety of strategies and teaching/learning techniques to promote and/or restore health in collaboration with the client, family caregivers, and the multidisciplinary health care team; 4. Advocate a standard of client care, based on biopsychosocial needs, integrating principles of morality, law, and ethics and recognizing cultural and spiritual diversity; 5. Assume a leadership role in the advancement of professional nursing, the maintenance of an effective health care delivery system, and the delivery of quality health care, while assuming responsibility for personal and professional development through lifelong learning.

ACCREDITATION STATEMENT The Jeanette Rudy School of Nursing is approved by the Tennessee Board of Nursing (Cordell Hull Building: 426 5th Avenue North; Nashville, TN 37247; 615-532-5166) and accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (61 Broadway; New York, NY 10006; 212-363-5555 Ext.153).

NURSING TRACKS The Jeanette Rudy School of Nursing offers four (4) tracks leading to a baccalaureate degree in nursing: Track I is a generic, eight (8) semester academic and clinical nursing program. Track II enables registered nurses (RNs) to upgrade an associate degree or diploma in nursing to BSN status. Track III is designed for students who hold a university parallel associate degree,a2+2nursing degree, or a baccalaureate degree in an area other than nursing. Track IV allows licensed practical nurses (LPNs) to achieve advanced learning and competence.

Completion of all pre-nursing coursework the semester of or the semester before admission to the Jeanette Rudy School of Nursing. 3. A Letter of Intent to enter the Jeanette Rudy School of Nursing must be submitted to the School the semester before admission.

Admission to the Jeanette Rudy School of Nursing is determined by the following criteria: 1. Successful completion of pre-nursing coursework (including BIO 213, BIO 214, BIO 203, MATH 110 or 111, NUR 210) with the exception of no more than 10 hours of core coursework if those hours can be completed as co-requisites to NUR 302. 2.

Longevity at Cumberland University: Cumberland University students who meet the three (3) criteria will have priority over students transferring from another university. Longevity will be determined by the number of semesters of full-time enrollment at Cumberland University. Vital Student Information—Nursing 236 2005–2007 Undergraduate Catalog SPECIAL ADMISSION PROVISIONS The Jeanette Rudy School of Nursing Admissions Committee will review student petitions for admission on an individual basis. The Admissions Committee reserves the right to attach certain stipulations to admission (e.g. by limiting the total number of hours in which a student may enroll during a semester and/or requiring specific developmental coursework and/or requiring a peer tutor).

TRANSFER POLICIES Students must first meet the requirements for admission to Cumberland University. The Nursing Admissions Committee evaluates each student who transfers from another accredited nursing program on an individual basis. Students who have earned a grade lower than ‘‘B’’ in a nursing course at another college or university may not transfer into the Jeanette Rudy School of Nursing, but may apply for admission to the School and the Nursing Admissions Committee will determine admission on an individual basis. Requests to transfer nursing courses from another college or university will also be considered by the Nursing Admissions Committee on an individual basis. Students who transfer to Cumberland University with satisfactory grades in Microbiology and Anatomy and Physi- ologyI&IIwill have satisfied the Area 2E—Natural Sciences section of the General Education Core with the exception of CHEM 103—Introduction to Chemistry.

Students who desire to transfer from another BSN program must meet the following requirements: 1. A letter of good standing from the previous nursing program. 2. A minimum grade of ‘‘B’’ in any nursing course the student desires to transfer. A written request for transfer credit must be forwarded to the Nursing Progressions Committee for a ruling. 3. Completion of a minimum of 25% of credit hours toward degree earned at Cumberland University.

PROGRESSION REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL NURSING STUDENTS 1. A physical examination with completion of the Jeanette Rudy School of Nursing Health Form before admission to the School of Nursing and anytime thereafter if any representative of the Jeanette Rudy School of Nursing questions the health status of a current student. 2. Laboratory report results of a Complete Blood Count (CBC) and Urinalysis before admission and anytime thereafter if any representative of the Jeanette Rudy School of Nursing questions the initial results and/or health status of a current student. 3. Annual submission of evidence of major medical insurance coverage. 4. Tetanus Toxoid (within the last 10 years). 5. MMR (Measles-Mumps-Rubella) vaccination since 1989.

Evidence of current Basic Cardiac Life Support (BCLS) certification. The course must be specified for healthcare professionals and must include both adult and child components. 11. Achievement of a minimum grade of ‘‘C’’ in all nursing courses in both clinical and didactic portions of the courses. 12. Students who receive two (2) final course grades of ‘‘D’’ in any nursing course or combination of nursing courses will be dismissed from the program. 13. Students who do not achieve a satisfactory score on standardized achievement tests, administered at the conclusion of nursing courses, will be required to complete a specified score on appropriate NCLEX review tests during the following semester. 14. All nursing majors are required to achieve satisfactory scores on standardized comprehensive examinations during the final semester of the senior year before their NCLEX application is submitted to a State Board of Nursing. 15. Nursing majors are expected to be continuously enrolled. In the event that a break in enrollment is necessary, a written request for a leave should be submitted to the Dean of the Jeanette Rudy School of Nursing who will present the request to the Nursing Progression Committee. 16. Any nursing student who has broken enrollment for more than one (1) semester may not continue in the program but must apply for re-instatement into the Jeanette Rudy School of Nursing courses. The Nursing Progression Committee will review each student’s case individually to determine placement in the Program of Studies.

SPECIALIZED GRADING AND TESTING POLICIES FOR NURSING Nursing courses are sequential and require prerequisite courses to provide appropriate background for each new course. Nursing majors must earn a grade of ‘‘C’’ in all course work within the Nursing Program of Study. Students who earn a grade below ‘‘C’’ in any nursing course will be placed on probation in the Jeanette Rudy School of Nursing. If a student earns a second grade below ‘‘C’’ in the same or any other nursing course, the student is ineligible to continue in the Jeanette Rudy School of Nursing. A student who withdraws from a nursing course (NUR) with a grade below a ‘‘C’’ will receive a ‘‘WF.’’ A ‘‘WF’’ is considered the same as any grade below a ‘‘C.’’

Students must earn at least a 75% average on tests to pass nursing courses. In this case, papers or projects that are part of the course are not averaged into the grade until the 75% test average is achieved. A paper or project grade may improve a course grade, but may not be the determining factor for passing. Alternatively, poor paper or project grades may contribute to a failing course grade. This policy will also be outlined in course syllabi.

ADDITIONAL NURSING COSTS Nursing students must purchase uniform(s), laboratory coat(s), program patches, and a name badge along with additional equipment (a list is available in the Jeanette Rudy School of Nursing).

Nursing students are required to complete a Background Search prior to enrollment in N 302. (For those students enrolled in nursing courses beyond N302, this Background Search will be required at the beginning of fall semester 2004.) Additionally, nursing students may be required to submit to a random urine drug screen (UDS) and a random urine breath or blood alcohol test during their tenure in the School and at any time deemed appropriate by the faculty. Vital Student Information—Nursing 238 2005–2007 Undergraduate Catalog JEANETTE RUDY SCHOOL OF NURSING STUDENT HANDBOOK The Jeanette Rudy School of Nursing publishes a student handbook detailing policies and procedures for nursing students. The regulations contained in this document apply to each student enrolled in the nursing program.

LICENSURE EXAMINATION After completing the prescribed curriculum, the pre-licensure student is eligible to apply to a State Board of Nursing to take the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) for the privilege of becoming a registered nurse.

It is important for nursing students to know about the Tennessee Board of Nursing policy regarding the review of candidates as to eligibility for initial and continued licensure. There will be a question on the application for licensure as a registered nurse, which asks: ‘‘Have you ever been convicted of a violation of the law other than a minor traffic offense?’’ Whether or not a graduate is granted registered nurse licensure will be decided on an individual basis if the answer is affirmative.

********************************** BACHELOR of SCIENCE in NURSING DEGREE (Track I) Cumberland University offers the bachelor of science degree in nursing. The degree program consists of 125 semester hours: forty-four to forty-five (44–45) from the General Education Core; twenty-one (21) from the required nursing core; sixty-one (61) from the required Jeanette Rudy School of Nursing courses; and two (2) hours from nursing elective courses.

The Doris and Harry Vise Library

Mission The mission of the Vise University Library is to provide information to support the curriculum of Cumberland University and to provide assistance in using the tools necessary to locate that information to students at all locations where Cumberland University courses are offered.

The Vise University Library plays a central role in the life of Cumberland University, its students, faculty, and staff. It is the repository for a wide variety of information that supports the curriculum of the school at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. The staff provides a high level of service to the university’s learning community through access to and training in the use of its electronic and print resources. Students will find themselves recognized and often called by name in the library of this comfortably small university. Each librarian serves as a subject specialist for a number of disciplines and uses this expertise to assist students researching within those fields. Following is a description of the various resources and services provided by the Vise University Library.

Vise University Library, established in 1989, is open six days each week for a total of 60 hours during the fall and spring terms. Although only currently enrolled Cumberland University students and Cumberland University faculty and staff may check material out of the library, outside visitors are welcome to use most of the library’s resources in-house.

Library Materials Books About 40,000 print books are housed within the library walls. Access to a collection of over 35,000 e-books is available to students, faculty, and staff 24 hours a day from any Internet location. An online catalog provides assistance in locating material in the library.

Periodicals The library subscribes to over 300 print periodicals. Students may access millions of full-text articles from thousands of professional and popular publications through any of the library’s electronic databases. Like the library’s e-book collection, students may use these databases 24 hours per day from any Internet location.

Audiovisual Material and the Listening Room Vise University Library houses a growing collection of over 1,000 videocassettes and DVDs on a wide range of topics related to the university’s curriculum. The Listening Room contains over 1,200 Vital Student Information—Library 286 2005–2007 Undergraduate Catalog sound recordings on compact discs and record albums and has eight individual listening stations. Two computers in the Listening Room provide professional music-related software for use by music students.

Computing Resources The library provides computer workstations in the main reading room for accessing its electronic databases, e-mail, and the Internet. Campus computing resources are open only to Cumberland University employees and currently enrolled students.

Learning Centers and Special Collections Campbell Learning Resources Center The Curriculum Lab in the Vise University Library contains a collection of curriculum materials such as sample textbooks, videos, educational games, and testing materials. These items are used primarily by students in Cumberland University’s School of Education. The library’s collection of juvenile books is located in the Campbell Learning Resources Center. The juvenile book collection contains Caldecott and Newberry winners, and other titles in the area of children’s literature. Students may check material out to be used in the classroom and they have access to education software designed to assist them with their work.

Special Collections Vise University Library is home to three special collections. The Stockton Archives holds many of the papers and other memorabilia of Cumberland University’s long history as well as a collection of rare books, including an original edition of the War of the Rebellion series. The library’s Tennessee Collection focuses on state and regional materials with an emphasis on Wilson County. The Nobel Collection contains English-language works written by Nobel Laureates in Literature.

Library Services Interlibrary Loan The library’s holdings are augmented through its participation in the Nashville Area Library Alliance and in SOLINET, the Southeastern Library Network. These consortias’ interlibrary loan programs allow students to borrow material from regional, national, and international libraries.

Delivery of Material by Mail Students living outside of Wilson and Davidson Counties may use an online form to request that library books, videos and other material be mailed to them at no cost.

Online Reference Cumberland University students, faculty, and staff may request help with brief reference questions using the library’s online reference service, Ask a Librarian, and will receive a reply within 24 hours, excluding weekends and holidays.

Use of Library Material Only currently enrolled Cumberland University students and university employees may check material out of the library. Undergraduates and staff may borrow books and audiocassettes for three weeks and videocassettes for two days. Graduate students and faculty may borrow books and audio- 2005–2007 Undergraduate Catalog 287 Vital Student Information—Library cassettes for four weeks and videocassettes for one week. Anyone wanting to check out material must present a university ID at the circulation desk.

Fines Students will be charged an overdue fee of ten cents per day per item, with the exception of overdue audiovisual material and reserve items, which are one dollar each per day. Vital Student Information—Library 288 2005–2007 Undergraduate Catalog SPECIAL ACADEMIC PROGRAMS DEVELOPMENTAL STUDIES (DEVS) The Developmental Studies Program is designed to assist students succeed in college. The program emphasizes the mastery of basic skills, such as writing, grammar, reading, and math, needed for success in college level courses. A student may be advised to take one (1) or more developmental courses. The Developmental Studies Program consists of six (6) components:

1. Assessment. Assessments are conducted prior to placement in mathematics, writing, reading, and grammar to determine the student’s level of skill. Assessment tools include, but are not limited to, the student’s ACT and/or SAT scores, high school GPA and courses, Nelson-Denny Reading Test score, a writing sample, a mathematics exam, and/or additional criteria deemed appropriate by the faculty. 2. Placements: Recommendations from faculty are made based on appropriate assessment tools to ensure the student’s placement in the appropriate level of classes. Once admitted to the Developmental Studies Program, the student will remain enrolled in the course sequence until successful completion. A student may be placed in one (1) or more developmental courses simultaneously. Students may not omit a course in any of the sequences or drop a developmental studies course without written permission of the Coordinator of Developmental Studies. Exemption: Students who wish to request exemption from any course in a sequence must submit a written request along with a letter from the instructor of the course in which the student is currently enrolled, documenting the student’s ability to demonstrate the required skills of the course in question to the Coordinator of Developmental Studies. The student’s appeal will be presented to the Developmental Studies Committee. After the committee has reached a decision, the student will receive a letter from the Coordinator of Developmental Studies stating the committee’s decision. Written appeals should be filed with the Coordinator of Developmental Studies at least one (1) month prior to the student’s scheduled matriculation in the course for which the appeal is being made. 3. Support Services. These services, which are available to all students, include individual tutoring and supervised labs in the basic skills areas, skills workshops, learning center resources, computer support programs, and accommodations for students with learning disabilities. 4. Academic Advising. Academic mentoring and advisement is the cooperative effort of the Developmental Studies coordinator, the student’s advisor, and the staff in the Office of Aca- demic Affairs. 2005–2007 Undergraduate Catalog 289 Vital Student Information—Library COURSE FLOWCHART

PRE-PROFESSIONAL HEALTH PROGRAMS (EXCLUDING NURSING) Many of the graduates of Cumberland University will continue their education by going to graduate and professional schools. The courses required for admittance to some of the health profession schools are shown below. Students preparing for graduate or professional schools should obtain admission requirements for the schools of interest early in their undergraduate enrollment, so that exact requirements can be met. Since admission to professional schools is highly competitive, students should be aware that satisfactory completion of pre-professional requirements does not guarantee admission to professional schools. Therefore students are advised to plan undergraduate programs with some attention to possible alternative goals. The Health Professions Advisor will assist students in realistically evaluating their potential for admission to professional schools. Pre-professional students are encouraged to join the Pre-Health Professional Society which has monthly speakers discuss- ing the various health related professions. Vital Student Information—Library 290 2005–2007 Undergraduate Catalog

A Pre-professional Internship is available to students to gain insight into the various medical professions. The internship permission must be obtained from the Health Professions Advisor.

PRE-MEDICAL Admission requirements for medical school vary from school to school, but most require one year of English composition (ENG 101, 102) one year of biology (BIO 111, 112) one year physics (PHY 201, 202) two years of chemistry (CHEM 111, 112, 311, 312) and 52 hours of electives. These electives should provide a broad, cultural background and relate to medical preparation. These requirements can be met in a variety of programs which lead to an undergraduate degree. Even though the admission requirements can be completed in less than four years, it is rare for students to be accepted prior to the completion of an undergraduate degree. Students considered for admission should have a 3.5 overall grade point average. In addition, extracurricular activities and leadership roles are important, volunteering or jobs in the health profession to gain experience are a sign of commitment and dedication. The Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) is offered twice a year, in April and August. Forms for scheduling this test can be obtained from the Health Professions Advisor. The MCAT tests your general knowledge of physics, general chemistry, biology, and organic chemistry. The test must be taken no later than August of the year preceding the desired date of medical school admission. Admission to medical school is very competitive. Satisfactory completion of all pre-medical requirements does not guarantee admission to medical school.

PRE-DENTAL Admission requirements for dental school vary, so students should consult the dental school websites to determine the exact requirements for entrance into the desired school. Most dental schools require one year of biology (BIO 111, 112), one year physics (PHY 201, 202), two years of chemistry (CHEM 111, 112, 311, 312), one year of mathematics (including one semester of calculus) and one year of English (ENG 101, 102). Even though these requirements can be completed in less than four years, it is rare for students to be accepted prior to the completion of an undergraduate degree. The four major factors influencing admission are academic performance, recommendations, DAT scores, and interview performance. Students considered for admission should have a 3.0 GPA or higher. In addition, extracurricular activities, and volunteering or working in dental offices is highly recommended. The Dental Admission Test (DAT) must be taken and application made to dental school about one year prior to expected entrance. A score of 15–19 is needed on the DAT for acceptance into most schools. Application to dental school can be made directly to the school or through the American Association of Dental Schools Application Service (AADSAS). Further information and test applications may be obtained from the health professions advisor. Admission to dental school is very competitive. Satisfactory completion of all pre-dental requirements does not guarantee admission to dental school.

PRE-PHARMACY Admission requirements for pharmacy school vary from school to school, but most require about 67 semester hours of required course work from an accredited institution. The Pre-pharmacy curriculum for the University of Tennessee for the entering Class of 2006 will require 90 semester hours of course work. The required courses are 16 semester hours of chemistry (CHEM 111, 112, 311, 312), 8 hours biology (BIO 111, 112), 8 hours physics (PHY 201, 202), 6 hours of English composition (ENG 101, 102), Speech (SPEE 220), Anatomy/Physiology (BIO 213, 214) Microbiology (BIO 303), Statistics (PSY 305), Calculus (MATH 121), Biochemistry (BIO/CHEM 400), Immunology (BIO 420), 6 hours of social science electives (psychology, sociology, economics, anthropology, political science), 6 hours humanities (literature, language, history, philosophy). One year of American History at the high school or college level is required for University of Tennessee admission. 2005–2007 Undergraduate Catalog 291 Vital Student Information—Library

Some students choose to complete the above requirements in a minimum period of time while others apply for admission following the completion of an undergraduate degree. A grade of C or above must be achieved for each pre-pharmacy course and an overall academic average of 2.5 or higher. In addition, the Pharmacy College Admission Test (PCAT) is required by some schools. The PCAT is offered in October and January. Students should take the PCAT in October a year prior to the preferred date of admission. The January date should be reserved should the applicant be required to retake the exam. PCAT information and applications can be obtained from the Health Profession Advisor. Admission to pharmacy school is very competitive. Satisfactory completion of all pre- pharmacy requirements does not guarantee admission to pharmacy school.

PRE-VETERINARY MEDICINE The admission requirements for Veterinary Medicine can vary from school to school, so it is recommended that a student obtain admission requirements online from the veterinary school of interest. There is only one College of Veterinary Medicine in Tennessee. Approximately 60 students are admitted yearly, So the competition is tough. The College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, requires the following pre-veterinary courses: 6 semester hours English composition (ENG 101, 102) 18 semester hours of humanities and social sciences ( literature, speech, music, art, philosophy, religion, language, history, economics, anthropology, political science, psychology, sociology and geography), 8 semester hours physics (PHY 201, 202) 8 semester hours general chemistry (CHEM 111, 112), 8 semester hours organic chemistry (CHEM 311, 312), 4 semester hours biochemistry (CHEM 400). 8 semester hours biology (BIO 111, 112), genetics (BIO 302), and cellular biology (BIO 416).

Students apply to veterinary medical school through the Veterinary Medical College Application Service (VMCAS) which provides for the collection, processing, verification and distribution of applicant data to participating colleges. The Graduate Record Exam (GRE) is required for admission. Acceptance into Veterinary Medical College is very competitive. Satisfactory completion of all requirements does not guarantee admission to veterinary school.

PRE-PHYSICAL THERAPY The proposed curriculum is designed for students planning to enter the physical therapy program at the University of Tennessee, Memphis. Programs are different for different schools, so be sure to obtain admission information online from the school that you are interested in attending. A minimum of 60 semester hours must be completed prior to enrollment which include the following courses: Biology, 8 semester hours (BIO 111, 112); Chemistry, 8 semester hours (CHEM 111, 112); Physics, 8 semester hours (PHY 201, 202); Human Physiology, 8 semester hours (BIO 313, 314); English, 6 semester hours (ENG 101, 102); Mathematics, 4 semester hours (can be algebra, trigonometry or calculus); Psychology, 6 semester hours (must include general); Social sciences, 4 semester hours; Electives, 8–13 semester hours.

The competition for physical therapy school is as great as medical school. Physical therapy schools are looking for good grades (at least a GPA of 3.0 or higher), the ability to handle a full academic load, maturity, extracurricular and leadership activities and volunteer work in physical therapy. Satisfactory completion of all pre-physical therapy requirements does not guarantee admission to physical therapy school.

PRE-DENTAL HYGIENE The admission requirements vary from school to school so it is important to obtain admission requirements online for the school you are interested in attending. Students may be admitted to the Dental Hygiene program at University of Tennessee, Memphis after the completion of 64 semester hours Vital Student Information—Library 292 2005–2007 Undergraduate Catalog of course work.

Admission to dental hygiene school is very competitive. Satisfactory completion of all requirements does not guarantee admission to dental hygiene school.

PRE-LAW STUDY Cumberland University has a long and rich heritage as a center of legal study. From 1847, just five years after its founding, until 1961 Cumberland was the home of one of the premier law schools in the nation. Many state governors and members of Congress, as well as two Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court were graduates of Cumberland Law School.

This commitment to quality legal education continues today as we prepare undergraduates for admission and successful work at some of the top law schools in the country. Most law schools do not require a pre-law major, but instead recommend a broad course of study in preparation for law school. all Cumberland students interested in law school have the opportunity of working with Cumberland’s pre-law advisor, a licensed Tennessee attorney with many years of experience, and a full-time faculty member. Together they select a major which reflects the student’s personal interests and which provides challenging course work to prepare the student to compete successfully in law school. Emphasis is on courses which hone the student’s writing skills, analytical thinking and verbal communication. In addition, membership in Cumberland’s Pre-Law Society is encouraged for all students interested in law school. !

THE ALGERNON SYDNEY SULLIVAN AWARDS

The Algernon Sydney Sullivan Awards were established by the New York Southern Society in 1925 in memory of Mr. Sullivan, a Southerner who became a prominent lawyer, businessman, and philanthropist in New York in the late nineteenth century. The Society, and carefully selected colleges and universities, jointly arrange for the issuance of medallions and certificates which are to be perpetual reminders of Algernon Sydney Sullivan, the memory of whose life had been handed down with loving and grateful admiration as one that was a continuous expression of those high qualities which ennoble and beautify living and bind people in mutual love and helpfulness. Such lives must ever be encouraging and inspiring; they justify our highest ideals and hopes. These prestigious awards for excellence of character and service to humanity are presented annually at Commencement to a member of the community and to one female and one male graduating senior.

The graduate programs promote academic integrity and encourage scholarly pursuits that are designed to enhance professional performance. These programs have been developed to improve business and community leadership, professionalism, and public service in the region.

Graduate Studies Four graduate programs currently exist at Cumberland University. They are as follows: The Master of Arts in Education (MAE), the Master of Business Administration (MBA), the Master of Science with an Option in Organizational Leadership and Human Relations (MSO), and the Master of Science with an Option in Public Service Management (MSP). The Graduate Studies Program is an extension of Cumberland University’s Mission to provide opportunities for advanced study in traditional and emerging fields within a liberal arts environment and has been designed after careful study and thoughtful reflection of the needs of our graduates and the community. The program seeks to challenge the individual student in such a way that he/ she can realize personal, intellectual and career ambitions and gain skills from which the society-at- large can directly benefit. The Master of Arts in Education degree program was instituted in 1987 and the first class was graduated in 1989. The Master of Business Administration degree program was initiated in 1995 and the first class graduated in 1997. The Master of Science with an Option in Organizational Leadership and Human Relations degree program was inaugurated in 1991 and the first class was graduated in 1993. The Master of Science with an Option in Public Service Management was established in 1996 and the first class graduated in 1998. Enrollment in the graduate programs is limited. Each applicant should consult with the Program Director for each degree to ensure that the programs-of-study offered are suitable to the vocational goals and needs of the student.

Graduate Governance The Graduate Faculty is responsible for the graduate curriculum and program policies. The Graduate Faculty includes all terminally trained faculty teaching at the graduate level at Cumberland Univer- sity. The Graduate Studies Council is responsible for examining graduate programs, course offerings and policies relative to graduate studies at Cumberland. The Graduate Studies Council is composed of the program directors, a faculty member from each program, the Dean of each school, and the Registrar. The curriculum process begins at the faculty level of each program. Each graduate program has a faculty committee that reviews curriculum changes at the program level and forwards them to the Graduate Council. !

ACADEMIC INFORMATION Academic Information 326 2005–2007 Graduate Catalog ACADEMIC INFORMATION

ADMISSION PROCEDURES To be considered as a candidate for one of Cumberland University’s four graduate programs, applicants should:

1. Complete an application for a specific program, including payment of a $50 application fee.

2. Provide evidence of successful completion of a baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited college or university. Official transcript(s) must be received directly from the granting institution(s).

3. Submit satisfactory scores on the appropriate entrance examination: MAE: Graduate Record Examination (composite of verbal and quantitative) 800, National Teacher Examination (core battery) 1950, Miller Analogies Test 27, or Praxis II (PLT) elementary teachers 155, secondary teachers 159 MBA: Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) or the Graduate Record Examina- tion (GRE) There are both quantitative and qualitative components used to assess each MBA applicant. The two are combined into formulae described here. The formulae incorporate tests provided by the Educational Testing Service (ETS), Princeton, New Jersey. A formula utilizing the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) is as follows: an applicant’s baccalaureate grade point average (GPA), either all four years or the upper-level years, is multiplied by 200. The result is added to the applicant’s GMAT score, and this sum has added to it the applicant’s interview score. The use of the GMAT score with its multiplier amounts to the quantitative portion of assessment. The score received in an interview with the MBA Director or a designate amounts to the qualitative portion of assessment. An alternate formula incorporates the quantitative and verbal portions of the Graduate Record Exam (GRE). The scores of these two portions are averaged and the mean is inserted to supplant the GMAT score in the formula described above. The multiplication and addition steps are the same. A minimum of 1000 must be reached regardless of the formula used. No more than 50 points can result from an interview. MSO: Miller Analogies Test (MAT) MSP: Miller Analogies Test (MAT)

4. Provide three (3) confidential recommendations (forms provided) from previous college professors and/or employers, including one from the applicant’s current supervisor if presently employed.

5. Participate in an interview with program faculty.

At Cumberland University a fully admitted graduate student is one who has met all admission requirements and has been given acceptance notice by the program director.

A provisionally admitted graduate student is one who has met at least the minimum requirement of having a baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited university, submitted an application and fee, but has not met all the admission requirements. Students admitted provisionally will receive a letter from the director detailing why their admission is provisional. 2005–2007 Graduate Catalog 327 Academic Information

Students must complete the requirements to be fully admitted prior to enrolling for more than six graduate credits or one semester. If a student does not meet the specified admission requirements, he/she may petition the director for an exception. This must be done prior to enrolling in additional graduate coursework.

Enrollment in all four graduate studies programs is subject to acceptance into the program. A qualified student for the MAE, MBA, or MSO program may begin studies in the fall, spring, or summer semesters. MSP students can begin in the fall semester only.

ADVISING Each student in a graduate program of Cumberland University is assigned to an advisor, typically the Program Director, who guides the student in completing educational goals, including requirements for the degree.

ENROLLMENT CERTIFICATION/VERIFICATION Enrollment certification/verification and loan deferments are completed in the Office of Academic Affairs and are based upon a student’s registration and payment of tuition and fees.

ACADEMIC LOAD Beginning Spring Semester, 2004 the following criteria are followed in determining full-time status as a graduate student: Twelve (12) semester hours constitute full-time status. Nine (9) semester hours constitute three-quarter time status, and six (6) hours constitute half-time status. For a student to take a combination of graduate and undergraduate courses, he/she must be admitted to a specific graduate program. All of the graduate programs are designed for adults who are employed full-time.

GRADING AND REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION The scholarship rating of the student in each course is reported by the professor. The grading system shown below is employed for most courses, but is subject to modification by the faculty member responsible for each specific course. For example, some professions may incorporate a +/− grading scale in accordance with the grading system shown below:

Recommended Grade Numerical Average A 93–100 A− 90–92 B+ 87–89 B 83–86 B− 80–82 C+ 77–79 C 73–76 C− 70–72 D+ 67–69 D 60–66 F = 59 or below Failure—zero (0) quality points per semester hour (The course must be repeated in its entirety. Continuation in the program is subject to Graduate Studies Council approval. If approved, a grade of ‘‘C’’ or better must be made. If, after repeating the entire course one time, a grade of ‘‘C’’ or better is not earned, the student shall not continue in the program.) Academic Information 328 2005–2007 Graduate Catalog

WF = Withdraw Failing—zero (0) quality points per semester hour I = Incomplete—zero (0) quality points per semester hour

The following letters denote grades which are not included in the computation of the grade point average (GPA):

P = Pass W = Withdrawal AD = Audit WP = Withdrawal Passing

A grade of ‘‘I’’ (Incomplete) is given only when part of the work required is missing and arrangements have been made in advance with the professor to complete the work. Normally this means that an ‘‘I’’ grade should be given only if circumstances arise which are beyond the control of the student, e.g., illness, accident, or other unforeseen circumstances. If the work is not completed by the end of the following semester, the ‘‘I’’ grade will be changed to an ‘‘F’’ unless the professor submits another ‘‘I’’ grade.

Any student dropping a course within the time limit noted in this Catalog, while performing satisfactorily, will receive a grade of ‘‘WP’’ (withdrawal from a course, having completed work to that point satisfactorily); otherwise a grade of ‘‘WF’’ (withdrawal, having done unsatisfactory work) will be assigned. The computation of the overall grade point average treats ‘‘WF’’ and ‘‘F’’ grades identically; grades of ‘‘W’’ or ‘‘WP’’ do not affect the computation.

Any student who discontinues class attendance and does not officially withdraw will be assigned the grade of ‘‘F’’ in that course or courses.

To withdraw officially, a student must obtain the signatures of the class professor and his/her advisor on a ‘‘Withdrawal Form.’’ Failure to follow proper withdrawal procedures may result in a student’s receiving an ‘‘F’’ in these classes.

To audit a course, the student must obtain permission from the Program Director. Audit must be clearly marked on the registration form, and if a change from audit to credit is desired, the change must be made prior to the second class meeting.

GRADUATE PROBATION Students enrolled in a master’s degree program are required to maintain no less than a cumulative grade point average of 3.00 to remain in good standing. When a student’s grade point average falls below the minimum required, the student is automatically placed on probation and must petition the Deans’ Council through his/her Program Director to continue in course work in any graduate program of Cumberland University. Students on probation may remain on probation for a maximum of one semester; if the student’s cumulative grade point average has not risen to the required 3.00 level at the end of one semester of probation, the student may be officially withdrawn from the program. If the student is withdrawn from a graduate program, he/she must remain inactive for a complete academic semester, and then must reapply for graduate enrollment. Re-enrollment is not automatic, and will only be allowed with the consent of both the appropriate school Dean and the Deans’ Council. When a graduate student on probation achieves a cumulative grade point average of 3.00 or above, that student is automatically removed from a probationary status and is considered to be in good standing.

GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS Candidates for Cumberland University’s Masters’ programs must maintain a minimum grade point average of 3.00. A student is allowed a maximum of six (6) semester hours of ‘‘C’’ grades but must 2005–2007 Graduate Catalog 329 Academic Information have six (6) semester hours of ‘‘A’’ grades to maintain the minimum grade point average of 3.00. No student will be allowed to continue in his/her respective program without permission of the Graduate Studies Council if a grade of ‘‘F’’ is made in any course, and permission to repeat any course with a grade of ‘‘F’’ must be obtained from the Program Advisor.

In addition to course work, candidates in the MAE, MSO, MBA, and MSP programs must satisfactorily pass a comprehensive examination to be eligible for graduation.

RECORDS MAINTENANCE The Office of Academic Affairs keeps an academic file on all present and former students. The Office of Admissions maintains folders containing recruitment correspondence, letters of official acceptance, and transcripts.

The Office of Financial Assistance maintains folders, during the period of enrollment, on every student receiving financial assistance and/or scholarship awards. After the student exits the Univer- sity, this information is incorporated into the permanent student file in the Office of Academic Affairs.

The Business Office maintains a folder containing financial transaction information of each student during the time of enrollment or until the student has paid all financial obligations to the University.

PAYMENT PLAN Payment is arranged with the staff in the University’s Business Office. It is located on the first floor of Memorial Hall. Four payment options are available.

1. Payment in full. Cumberland University will accept a personal check or money order for the total amount due. The University also accepts VISA or MasterCard bank cards. 2. Monthly payments. A no-interest plan is available by signing a contract with the FACTS Management Services. An annual enrollment fee is charged. A student must complete an ‘‘Automatic Tuition Payment Agreement Form’’ which authorizes FACTS to withdraw monthly payments from the student’s savings or checking bank account. The necessary paperwork includes a voided bank account deposit slip or check. Alternatively, this plan may be implemented with a valid VISA or MasterCard bank card. A student considering the FACTS payment plan should read its information carefully. This pamphlet is available in the Universi- ty’s Business Office. 3. Deferred payment. Cumberland University offers a deferred payment plan to a student whose employer/responsible party has agreed to pay for a portion of the student’s tuition. The student must sign a ‘‘Third Party Promissory Note’’ identifying the third party employer/ responsible party who will pay the balance due upon completion of classes at the end of the applicable semester. Also, the student’s employer/responsible party must furnish to Cumber- land University a Memorandum of Reimbursement under organizational letterhead containing the employer/responsible party’s statement that explains the terms and conditions of reimbursement/payment relative to the Promissory Note. The memorandum must be signed by an official with budgetary authority. Note: A student who has a balance of more than one semester in arrears will not be permitted to register for another semester until his/her account is paid up to date. 4. Federal Stafford Loan. A student who qualifies may obtain a Federal Stafford Loan through the U.S. Department of Education which determines whether a loan will be subsidized or unsubsidized. The Department of Education pays the interest for a subsidized loan, but the student is responsible for the interest on an unsubsidized loan. The student must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and receive a Student Aid Report. Academic Information 330 2005–2007 Graduate Catalog

The FAFSA is available in the University’s Financial Assistance Office. The student must then complete an Application and Promissory Note for Federal Stafford Loans, not be in default on a previous student loan (or be in an overpayment situation from financial assistance at previously attended institutions), and be fully accepted into one of the Cumberland Univer- sity Master’s programs. Registration is not complete until tuition payment has been resolved in the University’s Business Office. Failure to perform this payment step may result in the removal of the student’s name from enrolled courses.

TUITION AND FEES Program Per semester hour Other fees* Tuition MAE $575.00 $100 per semester matriculation fee MBA $595.00 None MSO $575.00 None MSP $575.00 None *There is a one-time application fee of $50 and a one-time graduation fee of $125 for all students.

RELEASE OF INFORMATION Cumberland University complies with all provisions of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 dealing with the release of educational records. No information, except directory information, contained in any students records is released to persons outside the University or to unauthorized persons on the campus without the written consent of the student. It is the responsibility of the student to provide the Office of Academic Affairs and other University offices, as appropriate, with the necessary specific authorization and consent. Directory information includes name, home address, school address, telephone listing, major field of study, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and height of members of athletic teams, dates of attendance, Dean’s List, degrees and awards received, and most recent previous educational institution attended. This information may be released to appear in public documents and may otherwise be disclosed without student consent unless a written request not to release this information is filed each semester in the Office of Academic Affairs.

No official academic information about a student will be released until all University requirements, forms, and records are complete.

TRANSCRIPTS All requests for official University academic transcripts must be submitted in writing to the Office of Academic Affairs. The first transcript will be free; a charge of three ($3.00) dollars will be made for each one thereafter. Individuals requesting this service by mail or fax must furnish their name at the time of enrollment, social security number, and dates of attendance. All financial and admissions obligations to Cumberland University must be met prior to the release of this document. A three dollar ($3.00) charge is made for each copy of the transcript excluding the original request.

TRANSIENT PERMISSION LETTERS Students temporarily enrolling at Cumberland University for the purpose of taking course work to be transferred to their permanent institutions must present an official ‘‘Letter of Transient Permis- sion.’’ This document must arrive on or prior to regular registration day of the term for which the student is seeking admission and be signed by the Dean or Registrar of the home institution. Specific 2005–2007 Graduate Catalog 331 Academic Information classes for which the student is being given permission to register must be listed. The transient student must be eligible to enter Cumberland University as determined by the admission standards published in this Catalog. This institution will not provide academic counseling to transient students nor guarantee the appropriateness of course work taken here to the degree being sought by the student elsewhere.

Cumberland University students wishing to take course work elsewhere to be applied to a degree program at this institution must secure a ‘‘Letter of Transient Permission’’ from the Office of Aca- demic Affairs prior to enrolling for the classes. In general, this option is not open to students within their last thirty (30) hours prior to graduation or when the same classes are offered through Cumberland University. Transient permission may not be given for the purpose of repeating courses previously taken at Cumberland, nor if the course is being offered at Cumberland University during the term for which Transient Permission is being sought. All classes must be taken at institutions approved by a regional accrediting agency.

UNIT OF CREDIT The semester hour is the unit of credit in all academic courses. It represents satisfactory completion of one (1) hour per week for one (1) semester. A course meeting three (3) class hours per week will carry three (3) semester hours credit. Laboratory work usually earns one (1) hour credit for each two (2) hours of attendance.

The Master of Arts in Education degree was instituted in 1987 and received accreditation from the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools in 1991. Track II of the program, which satisfies initial licensure requirements for the State of Tennessee, was approved in 1992 by the Board of Education of the State of Tennessee under the teacher education policy mandated for implementation in 1994. Track III was created in 2001 in response to the State of Tennessee Board of Education’s directive to teacher preparation institutions to provide a program of quicker entry into the teaching profession for holders of a baccalaureate degree but without a teacher license. The Masters of Arts in Education—Tracks I and III are available via both traditional and distance delivery.

MISSION STATEMENT The mission of the Master of Arts in Education is to provide a broad-based teaching curriculum designed to augment teaching skills, introduce the student to innovative dimensions of learning, and to enhance professional performance in the classroom. To that end, each course contained in the program is carefully selected to promote and encourage a prominent degree of professionalism in the MAE student.

ADMISSION PROCEDURES For general admission requirements to the MAE program, see ADMISSION PROCEDURES in the section of this catalog entitled ACADEMIC INFORMATION.

Any student holder of a bachelor’s degree who is not a prospective applicant for the MAE program at Cumberland University, such as a person seeking to meet licensure, certification, or local school system requirements, may register for graduate coursework in Education without formal acceptance into the Graduate Programs. Credit earned when not a degree candidate may not be counted toward the degree without completion of all admission standards required in the fully admitted category. Master of Arts—Education 334 2005–2007 Graduate Catalog

When classified as fully admitted, a student may request to the MAE Director that appropriate academic credit earned up to six [6] years prior to admission be applied to the MAE Degree.

ADVISORS (ACADEMIC) Each entering MAE student will be advised by the coordinator of the MAE Program. The coordinator will advise the students during orientation and throughout the tenure of the student. Each semester, all student schedules will be prepared and forwarded to each student by the MAE Coordinator under the supervision of the MAE Director throughout the tenure of each student.

In all academic advising, the student has certain responsibilities. He/She must consult with the MAE Coordinator prior to registration and other times as necessary. It is the responsibility of each student to know the requirements of the program and to meet them satisfactorily for graduation.

COMPREHENSIVE FINAL EXAMINATION All candidates for the Master of Arts in Education degree at Cumberland University must successfully complete a Comprehensive Written Examination near the completion of all other degree requirements. Comprehensive Examinations are generally scheduled on a designated Saturday of the months of April, August, and December of every calendar year, as shown on student schedules. Regulations concerning the Comprehensive Examination are as follows:

1. The Comprehensive Written Examination must be taken no later than six (6) months after the completion of all other degree requirements. 2. All examinations are developed and administered by members of the Graduate Faculty as appointed by the Director of the MAE Program. 3. This examination is designed to cover the various components of the graduate program. 4. Grading policy: All tests will be graded to two standards. All tests will be graded and critiqued for grammar and punctuation. Each question will be graded and critiqued by the primary author(s) of the question. 5. A student who does not satisfactorily complete all portions of the Written Comprehensive Examination may, within one year, take all or any part of the examination again as determined by the MAE faculty.

FULL-TIME STATUS AND ACADEMIC LOADS For academic load information regarding the MAE program, see ‘‘Academic Load’’ in the section of this catalog entitled ACADEMIC INFORMATION.

APPLICATION REGULATIONS The Cumberland University rules and regulations found elsewhere in this Catalog and in the Cumber- land University Student Handbook apply to MBA students. These regulations include, but are not limited to, admissions, registration, schedule changes, withdrawal from class and/or the University, graduation participation, grade-point average, release of information, student services, class availability, use of English, class attendance/preparation, grade reports, enrollment certification/verification, change of name/address, and academic misconduct.

APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS Cumberland University makes no distinction in its admission policies or procedures on grounds of age, sex, religion, race, color, national origin, or physical handicap.

A person may be admitted into Cumberland University on a provisional basis using ‘‘QUICK ADMIT’’ but take no more than six semester hours of MBA courses by providing each of the following items:

a. A completed application form; A $50 application fee; b. An official transcript from the accredited institution which granted the student a baccalaureate degree.

The provisional admission of a person to take a limited number of courses is offered to provide the person time to complete all requirements for acceptance by the MBA faculty into the MBA Program. Such acceptance is necessary in order to continue studies beyond one provisional semester.

A person may be accepted into the MBA Program to pursue the Master of Business Administration degree by providing each of the following items:

a. A completed application form; A $50 application fee; An official transcript from the accredited institution which granted the student a baccalaureate degree; An acceptable score by the student on the GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test); An acceptable cumulative undergraduate grade point average [either all four years or the last two (junior, senior) years] earned by the student; Three recommendations, one of which is from the student’s own employment supervisor; Official transcripts from all other higher education institutions where the student earned course credit, if any; b. An interview with the MBA Director. 2005–2007 Graduate Catalog 345 Master of Business Administration

The accepted student will have an undergraduate grade point average (UGPA) which is high enough when multiplied by 200 and the result is combined with the student’s GMAT score and interview score that it will total at least 1000. Thus, minimal acceptance is:

UGPA 200 + GMAT + Interview Score = 100 (1)

IF a student has already taken the GRE at the time of admissions, then the test will be accepted.

Formula 1 is modified for the GRE by inserting the mean of the student’s verbal and quantitative GRE scores in place of the GMAT score. Thus:

UGPA 200 + (GRE verb. + quan./2) + Interview Score = 1000 (2)

A maximum of 50 points are possible for an interview with the Director.

Once accepted into the MBA Program, the student may continue to register for courses to complete the degree requirements unless poor performance intervenes.

DEGREE REQUIREMENTS The number of semester hours required for the MBA degree is thirty-six (36) semester hours. Each of the core classes has three semester hours of credit. Each of the elective courses has 1.5 semester hours of credit. A core course is scheduled for eight weeks, one evening per week for four hours. An elective course is scheduled for seven weeks, one evening per week for three hours. There are two sets of course sessions during the fall and spring semesters; the summer has a similar offering. While course meetings are held on the Lebanon, Tennessee, campus in the ‘‘wireless’’ Labry Hall classroom, Service MBA courses typically have an online component.

WIRELESS NOTEBOOK A Wireless Notebook computer is loaned to each Services MBA student upon enrollment in at least three (3) semester hours of credit. Applicale rules for use of the loaned notebook are provided at the time of enrollment. The notebook will become sole property of the student upon completion of the Services MBA Program.

LIBRARY AVAILABILITY Students enrolled in this program will have use of the services of the Doris and Harry Vise Library that is located on the Cumberland University campus in Lebanon, Tennessee. A specific librarian may be asked to serve as a reference liaison for this particular graduate group.

Services include a pre-enrollment bibliographic instructional overview geared toward informing the student of the library’s resources in his/her discipline, an orientation providing a basic understanding of the organization of the Vise Library, and the presentation of an annotated bibliography describing these resources.

In addition to on-shelf books and journals, the Vise Library has a variety of full-text publications available through on-line electronic and on CD-ROM databases. Additional services include the following: submitting direct and factual reference questions on-line, having library materials shipped to a home or business address, plus receiving assistance in searching the library’s catalog and databases. These services are available on the Vise Library WebPage at http://www.cumberland.edu/ academics/vise/index.html.

Institutional holdings are augmented through participation in two (2) interlibrary loan programs, allowing students to borrow materials from other libraries around the world. On-campus Internet access is also available in the Vise Library building. 2005–2007 Graduate Catalog 361 Master of Science—Public Service Management

Additionally, each M.S. student is encouraged to have an active library card from the Metropolitan Nashville-Davidson County Public Library System. The main branch located on Church Street in downtown Nashville has an excellent reference area staffed with public service librarians. Many Cumberland University graduate students have found these resources valuable in securing information for assigned research projects.

LOCATION OF INSTRUCTION Classes will be held at the Metropolitan Nashville-Davidson County.

MAT—TEST AND FEE Each applicant is required to complete the Miller Analogies Test (MAT) as a part of the application process. This one hundred twenty (120) question instrument contains analogies in each of nine (9) categories, including language usage, mathematics, physical sciences, biological sciences, social sciences, history, literature and philosophy, fine arts, and general information. The cost for taking the MAT, through Cumberland University, is $45.00. For specific testing dates contact the M.S. Program Advisor.

ORAL PRESENTATIONS Students enrolled in the degree program will be expected to prepare and present (with appropriate handouts) an oral presentation in many of the listed classes. This requirement is designed to enhance the oral communication skills of the participants.

POSITIVE COMMUNICATION AND OTHER NEEDED SKILLS Every student is expected to have satisfactory written and oral communication skills. Computer literacy (word processing) and an understanding of basic algebra are also considered very important. For individuals deficient in these areas, the University will provide limited assistance in acquiring the necessary competencies.

PROGRAM ADVISORY TEAM A number of individuals teaching in this emphasis of the Master of Science program (with an option in Public Service Management) will form an advisory team. The duties of this group will be to interview for Admissions, to mentor and encourage the progress of the enrollees, review and update the curriculum, plus serve as resource individuals to the enrolled graduate students.

REGISTRATION Three (3) weeks prior to the beginning of each term, a student may obtain a Class Schedule (Timeta- ble) from the Office of the University Registrar or from the Program Advisor. M.S. students will be able to complete the registration process with their advisor in teaching locations in Davidson County.

REQUIRED ORIENTATION SEMINAR Students enrolled in this program will have a required orientation, information, and overview session on a Saturday morning prior to the beginning of the term of enrollment.

SCHOLARSHIP AVAILABILITY A selective admission student will be able to qualify for a special graduate scholarship. Awards will be made based on previous academic performance and the perceived potential for success in both this academic program and in the current/future employment arena. Individual scholarship students Master of Science—Public Service Management 362 2005–2007 Graduate Catalog are encouraged to seek additional funding and/or reimbursement from their employing agencies. A per month payment plan and/or a student loan program will be made available on tuition balances due after all scholarship monies have been applied to a student account. The University accepts both personal checks and MasterCard, Visa, Discover, and American Express cards in addition to cash for the payment of tuition and fees. The tuition cost(s) for scholarship students will be calculated at the following rate:

$ 300.00 per semester hour $2,100.00 per semester (taking seven [7] hours) $2,400.00 per semester (taking eight [8] hours)

SCHOLARSHIP FUND DEVELOPMENT The 1998 graduating class began the process of establishing an endowment fund to name a scholarship for Dr. C. William McKee, the MSP Program Director/Faculty Advisor. Other graduating classes continued this worthy tradition. The gifts from the classes provided sufficient funding to endow a permanent scholarship. The goal of the graduates of the program is that this custom will be continued by future classes, and the endowment will continue to grow in order that a number of worthy future candidates in this graduate program will be aided in receiving an education.

STUDENT SERVICES Cumberland University has established an Office of Student Services to facilitate the success experiences of all individuals enrolled in the institution. Persons taking classes away from the main campus are both invited and encouraged to avail themselves of the programs and professional staff located in Lebanon, and because classes in the Master of Science degree program with an option in Public Service Management are taught in Davidson County, the distance from the main campus is not prohibitive for enrollees to use, on a regular basis, the campus services.

When appropriate, certain student services functions can be delivered to off-campus locations. Since the advisor to this program has both educational training and employment experience in this area of university management, he can represent the institution in responding to the questions and needs of the students enrolled in this program.

On-site student services include academic advisement and registration. For many classes, the advisor or professor will bring the textbooks and other required classroom materials, for student purchase, to the location of the class.

The program advisor is available by telephone or e-mail to facilitate any needed interactions between the student and personnel located on the campus. Faculty teaching in the program supply each student with both home and office telephone numbers and encourage the enrollee to contact them with questions and concerns or if special assistance is needed in their particular course.

Campus-based student services include admissions, the book and supply store, counseling services (both career and personal), enrollment verification, financial assistance and scholarship information, the library (including reference assistance), orientation (including the making of an I.D. card), placement services, transcript and grade report requests, plus veterans certification.

Previous and current students enrolled in this program have come to campus regularly for sporting, musical, and theatrical events. Admission to many of these functions is free with a validated I.D. card. Non-campus based graduate students are encouraged to participate in the athletic and cultural life of the University. 2005–2007 Graduate Catalog 363 Public Service Management—Course Descriptions

For assistance in student services of other areas of the degree program, the advisor serves as the contact individual. Regular dialog with the advisor is encouraged.

TRANSFER CREDIT This program is designed to be a ‘‘lock-step’’ experience (students take the exact same courses and progress together as a group). No previously completed graduate course work will be accepted in this program.
