While dean of the newly named College of Marine and Earth Studies from 19S4 to 2005, she increased the number of tenure-track faculty from 22 to 34, adding research faculty and substantially increasing the college budget. . Thoroughgood said the college is now the only major oceanograph­ • ic institutiqn in Mid-Atlantic, making it an institution that attracts stu­ dents. "Every year the incoming classes of undergraduates are stronger and stronger," she said. "Undergraduate research is very sophisticated and the ability to blur the undergraduate and gradu­ ate experience is growing." The rise of quality students can also be attributed to the growth of the Honors Program. During his tenure as director of the Honors Program from 1989 to 1998, Brown said the program grew from 300 students to 500 in each incoming class. He and the staff added hon­ ors courses, helped create honors degree tracks with departments and increased resources as a response to the boost in enrollment. which continues. "President Roselle was particularly keen on growing it because he saw that admitting more honors-caliber students as a way to up the average credentials of entering freshman classes as a whole." he said. "President Roselle saw that as a significant way to boost the uni­ versity's academic standing at the undergraduate level." Carson said the undergraduates in biological sciences are stronger ever year and are showing an inc reased interest in conduct­ ing research. especially in the biomedical field . Carson said the low­ est grade point average of a student participating in last year's sum­ mer research program was a 3.7 . "It's easier to get into med school than to get into the research program." he said. The rigors of the department's curriculum also are reflected in its enrollment. Carson and a few of the faculty meet with approximate­ ly 400 new students every fall to introduce them to the department.
