graduation from, the <strong>University</strong> and its various divisions; and (f) change any other regulations affecting students. Changes shall go into force whenever<br />
the proper authorities so determine, and shall apply not only to prospective students but also to those who are matriculated at the time in the <strong>University</strong>.<br />
When economic and other conditions permit, the <strong>University</strong> tries to provide advance notice of such changes. In particular, when an instructional program<br />
is to be withdrawn, the university will make every reasonable effort to ensure that students who are within two (2) years of completing the graduation<br />
requirements, and who are making normal progress toward the completion of those requirements, will have the opportunity to complete the program<br />
which is to be withdrawn.<br />

Admission<br />
<strong>Idaho</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong> invites applications for<br />
admission to <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies from students<br />
holding undergraduate degrees from any accredited<br />
college or university in the United<br />
<strong>State</strong>s or with equivalent preparation acquired<br />
in another country. Prospective students may<br />
apply as degree-seeking or non-degree-seeking<br />
students. Non-degree-seeking students<br />
include those seeking certification, professional<br />
growth, or strengthened backgrounds for various<br />
professional and industrial occupations.<br />
The Application Procedure<br />
Prospective graduate students must initiate the<br />
admission process as follows:<br />
1. Applications for admission may be obtained<br />
from the Office of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies. An<br />
application form is also included within the<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> <strong>Catalog</strong>. When completed, the form<br />
must be returned to the Office of <strong>Graduate</strong><br />
Studies, Campus Box 8075, <strong>Idaho</strong> <strong>State</strong><br />
<strong>University</strong>, Pocatello, <strong>Idaho</strong> 83209-0009.<br />
2. Applicants applying as degree-seeking students<br />
must request that each institution at<br />
which they have taken any post-secondary<br />
work submit one official transcript directly<br />
to the Office of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies. <strong>Idaho</strong><br />
<strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong> undergraduate transcripts<br />
are available to the Office of <strong>Graduate</strong><br />
Studies and need not be forwarded by the<br />
applicant.<br />
3. Applicants must include a $35 non-refundable<br />
application fee with the application<br />
form. Students who do not pay the<br />
required application fee for admission may<br />
not register for courses.<br />
4. Some programs require additional information<br />
(e.g., letters of recommendation); please<br />
review individual departmental sections of<br />
this catalog for additional requirements.<br />
5. Please see additional requirements for degree-seeking,<br />
last semester seniors, and<br />
international students under those headings<br />
on the following pages.<br />
6. The applicant must clearly indicate the graduate<br />
program desired on the application form,<br />
or if a non-degree-seeking student, the<br />
college and department in which the student<br />
intends to take courses.<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> Studies<br />
Application Deadline<br />
Application forms must be completed and<br />
returned to the Office of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies no<br />
later than May 1st for summer session enrollment,<br />
July 1st for fall semester enrollment,<br />
and December 1st for spring semester enrollment,<br />
or the following Monday should these<br />
dates fall on a weekend. Please note that<br />
some programs have earlier deadlines than<br />
those listed; please contact the program chair<br />
for specifics.<br />
Notification of Admission<br />
Applicants who have been accepted into <strong>Graduate</strong><br />
Studies will receive a notification letter and<br />
a copy of the Approval for Admission form<br />
from the Office of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies. Those<br />
who have not been admitted will receive a letter<br />
from the Office of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies or from<br />
the department/college to which the student<br />
made application.<br />
Admission to <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies allows a<br />
student to enroll in graduate courses in the<br />
specified department and college. It does not<br />
imply admission to courses in other departments.<br />
Only those admitted as degree-seeking<br />
students may assume that they are<br />
permitted to seek an advanced degree in the<br />
discipline/department which approved the<br />
admission. Non-degree-seeking students who<br />
are admitted are permitted to take courses in<br />
the department which admitted them, but this<br />
does not imply they will later be approved for<br />
admission as a degree-seeking student.<br />
Re-Enrollment or<br />
Re-Admission of<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> Students<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> students who have been admitted to<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> Studies may enroll for graduate or<br />
undergraduate classes by pre-registration or<br />
registration without further application activity<br />
if they enroll within two years from the<br />
beginning of the term for which the applicant<br />
was accepted. In general, admission to <strong>Graduate</strong><br />
Studies is valid for two years and a student<br />
is not required to reapply for admission within<br />
the two-year period. Therefore, students who<br />
were not enrolled in the previous term may<br />
register for the current term. However, some<br />
departments may have more restrictive requirements<br />
and admission may be valid for<br />
only a particular semester or year. Students<br />
should contact departments to determine these<br />
more restrictive requirements.<br />
General Information ◆ 7<br />
If a graduate student has been inactive for five<br />
years or must reapply, the student must meet the<br />
degree requirements of the current graduate<br />
catalog at time of admission.<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> students who fail to enroll during the<br />
two year period or more restrictive period of the<br />
department must reapply for admission. <strong>Graduate</strong><br />
students who fail to enroll for two years after<br />
an initial enrollment are dropped from admission<br />
to <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies and are required to<br />
submit a completed application form. Students<br />
who were previously admitted to <strong>Graduate</strong><br />
Studies are required to pay the application fee if<br />
they fail to enroll for over five years.<br />
Registration<br />
All applicants who have received notice of<br />
admission into <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies may preregister<br />
during the appropriate pre-registration<br />
periods or during the regular registration times<br />
prior to each semester or summer session.<br />
Telephone registration is also available to<br />
officially admitted students. Instructions for<br />
phone registration is available in each semester’s<br />
class schedule, available from the Office of<br />
Registration and Records (208) 282-2661. To<br />
expedite completion of the registration procedure,<br />
all recipients of graduate teaching assistantships,<br />
graduate fellowships, and/or<br />
scholarships to be applied toward tuition and<br />
fees should pre-register if at all possible.<br />
Restricted Registration<br />
Any graduate student receiving a grade of C+ or<br />
below in two graduate courses during his or her<br />
program, or whose GPA falls below 3.0, will be<br />
automatically blocked from registering for additional<br />
courses. For the block to be removed,<br />
the student’s department or college must communicate<br />
to the Office of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies in<br />
writing its wish to allow the student to continue<br />
in the program. Please note that some programs<br />
vary in their restrictions with regard to this<br />
policy; contact your program chair for specifics.<br />
Registration without<br />
Permission<br />
Students who register for graduate courses in<br />
violation of any restriction printed in the <strong>Graduate</strong><br />
<strong>Catalog</strong> or written on their Approval for<br />
Admission form, or who register for graduate<br />
courses after receiving a letter of dismissal from<br />
the department or college that admitted them,<br />
will be dropped from the graduate course(s) as<br />
soon as the violation is discovered.

Admission<br />
Requirements<br />
Admission Requirements For<br />
Degree-Seeking Students<br />
Degree-seeking students must meet the<br />
following requirements:<br />
1. A baccalaureate degree from a college or<br />
university accredited in the United <strong>State</strong>s or<br />
its equivalent from a school in another<br />
country.<br />
2. An earned grade point average of at least 3.0<br />
or higher for all upper division credits taken<br />
at the undergraduate level, regardless of the<br />
institution at which the credits were earned,<br />
for those seeking a master’s degree. In the<br />
case of those students who have not completed<br />
the baccalaureate degree, the grade<br />
point average shall be recalculated on all<br />
upper division credits once the bachelor’s<br />
degree is completed. Please see individual<br />
department sections for GPA requirements<br />
for doctoral programs.<br />
3. Degree-seeking applicants must submit official<br />
scores on the aptitude portion of the<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> Record Examination (GRE), the<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> Management Aptitude Test<br />
(GMAT), of the Miller Analogies Test<br />
(MAT) as appropriate (see departmental<br />
sections). To register for the GRE, contact<br />
either the Educational Testing Service, Box<br />
899, Princeton, New Jersey, 08540, or the<br />
ISU Counseling and Testing Center<br />
(208)282-2130. Students applying for admission<br />
to programs in the College of<br />
Education or the Department of Counseling<br />
may submit MAT scores in lieu of the GRE.<br />
To register for the MAT contact the ISU<br />
Counseling and Testing Center.<br />
Some departments may admit degree-seeking<br />
students on a Conditional basis without<br />
submission of test scores. However, in<br />
such cases, the test must be taken in the first<br />
semester or summer session of enrollment.<br />
Applicants who have achieved at least the<br />
35th percentile in one of the aptitude sections<br />
of the GRE (Verbal, Quantitative,<br />
Analytical), or a raw score of at least 38 on<br />
the MAT are eligible for admission as<br />
degree-seeking students if the earned grade<br />
point average for all upper division credits<br />
taken at the undergraduate level is 2.0 or<br />
higher.<br />
GRE/GMAT/MAT scores are used for other<br />
purposes in addition to admission. Most<br />
departments/colleges also use these scores as<br />
part of the criteria for awarding graduate<br />
assistantships, fellowships, or scholarships.<br />
Other parts of the campus also may use these<br />
scores in the process of awarding scholarships.<br />
Students at <strong>Idaho</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong> may<br />
take these tests at the Counseling and Testing<br />
Center. Special study sessions are available<br />
at the university in the Academic Skills<br />
Center (208) 282-3662 to aid the student in<br />
preparing for the GRE/GMAT.<br />

Admission Requirements For<br />
Non-Degree-Seeking Students<br />
Non-degree-seeking students who apply for<br />
admission must meet the following conditions:<br />
1. A baccalaureate degree from a college or<br />
university accredited in the United <strong>State</strong>s or<br />
its equivalent from a school in another<br />
country.<br />
2. Proof of graduation must be shown by<br />
evidence of a degree. Students must submit<br />
one of the following: copy of an unofficial<br />
transcript showing proof of degree, copy of<br />
the diploma, copy of <strong>Idaho</strong> Teacher Certification,<br />
or a letter from an appropriate<br />
college or university official.<br />
3. A properly completed application form<br />
which includes signing an agreement that<br />
the applicant will provide evidence that he/<br />
she holds a baccalaureate degree.<br />
4. International students do not qualify for<br />
Unclassified status.<br />
Admission Requirements for<br />
Professional Development<br />
Students (597 Courses)<br />
The Office of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies recognizes<br />
the need for individuals in their particular<br />
occupations to improve their professional<br />
capabilities by taking particular courses which<br />
would provide that service. Many of these<br />
students, particularly public school teachers,<br />
are best served if these courses are offered for<br />
graduate credit. In some cases the courses are<br />
workshops or short courses which can be<br />
taken in a short time period. These types of<br />
courses are “advanced” with respect to the<br />
students who enroll but are not courses which<br />
a particular discipline offers to a student with<br />
the goal of earning an advanced degree.<br />
Therefore, professional development courses<br />
are offered by many departments to meet the<br />
perceived need and are treated differently in<br />
the following respects:<br />
1. Students may enroll in professional development<br />
courses offered under the 597<br />
number without the necessity of being<br />
admitted to <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies. However,<br />
they must hold a baccalaureate degree from<br />
an accredited institution at the time they<br />
enter the class or receive special permission<br />
from the Dean of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies if<br />
they are last semester seniors.<br />
2. The credits earned will not count toward an<br />
advanced degree nor may they be petitioned<br />
to count at a later date.<br />
3. There is no limit to the number of 597 credits<br />
which a student may earn.<br />
4. All instructors of 597 courses must have an<br />
advanced degree.<br />
5. Students must certify for each 597 course<br />
for which they enroll that they possess a<br />
baccalaureate degree and agree to the conditions<br />
by which they are permitted to<br />
register for the course.<br />
6. Students who have not been admitted previously<br />
to <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies at <strong>Idaho</strong> <strong>State</strong><br />
<strong>University</strong> will be classified as Unclassified,<br />
Master’s, Professional Development students.<br />
They will not be permitted to register<br />
for any graduate level courses except 597<br />
courses unless they apply for admission and<br />
are accepted into <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies.<br />
7. Students who have been admitted into <strong>Graduate</strong><br />
Studies are permitted to take 597 courses<br />
but must register for these courses by signing<br />
the special registration form in addition<br />
to the regular procedures for registration.<br />
8. Departments shall determine if and when<br />
professional development courses are to be<br />
offered with their prefix.<br />
Admission of International<br />
Students<br />
Applications for admission to graduate studies<br />
will not be processed in the Office of <strong>Graduate</strong><br />
Studies until cleared by the International Admissions<br />
Clerk in the Office of Admissions.<br />
Applications will not be processed until the<br />
application fee has been received.<br />
In addition to the admission requirements<br />
listed previously, international students must<br />
meet the following conditions:<br />
1. International students must submit a financial<br />
statement to the Office of Admissions<br />
verifying that they will be able to support<br />
themselves financially for one year while<br />
attending <strong>Idaho</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong>. This must<br />
consist of a statement or letter from a bank<br />
indicating that funds are available and accessible.<br />
The amount of money available to
the student must be listed on the financial<br />
statement. A graduate assistantship or fellowship<br />
awarded by a department or college<br />
may be used as part of this amount.<br />
2. International students who have not graduated<br />
from an accredited college or university<br />
in the United <strong>State</strong>s and whose native language<br />
is not English, normally must achieve<br />
satisfactory scores on the Test of English as<br />
a Foreign Language (TOEFL). Specifically,<br />
students must achieve a total score of<br />
550 and a score of 55 on Section l (Listening<br />
Comprehension). Information about the<br />
TOEFL test, including test dates and locations<br />
in foreign countries, can be obtained<br />
from the Educational Testing Service, Box<br />
899, Princeton, New Jersey, 08540. Registration<br />
forms must reach Princeton at least<br />
five weeks before the test is taken. PHOTO-<br />
COPIES OF TOEFL SCORES WILL NOT<br />
BE ACCEPTED.<br />
3. International students may not enter the<br />
United <strong>State</strong>s for graduate study without a<br />
U.S. Immigration (I-20) form. This form<br />
will be supplied by the International Admissions<br />
Clerk in the Office of Admissions<br />
after a department or college chooses to<br />
accept a student and items l and 2 above are<br />
met in addition to the admission requirements<br />
listed previously. International students are<br />
urged to remain in their own countries until<br />
they receive notice of acceptance.<br />
4. International students transferring from a<br />
school within the United <strong>State</strong>s must be “IN<br />
STATUS” with Immigration and Naturalization<br />
Services to be issued an I-20 form<br />
from ISU. A transfer form will be sent after<br />
the application has been received, to be<br />
completed as verification of acceptable immigration<br />
status.<br />
If you have questions or need additional<br />
information, please contact the International<br />
Admissions Clerk at (208) 282-2314, or<br />
FAX number (208) 282-4231.<br />
Admission of Last-Semester<br />
Seniors<br />
Seniors in residence at ISU, with permission<br />
of the Office of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies, may register<br />
for no more than six graduate credits during the<br />
semester or summer session in which they will<br />
complete the work for a bachelor’s degree at<br />
ISU. This option is reserved for outstanding<br />
seniors who are seriously considering attending<br />
ISU for graduate studies. The option must<br />
be approved not only by the Office of <strong>Graduate</strong><br />
Studies but also by the student’s advisor, the<br />
department chairperson, and the course instructor.<br />
ONLY COURSES NUMBERED<br />
500-599 MAY BE TAKEN WITH THIS<br />
OPTION. If a senior admitted to graduate<br />
study under this provision fails to complete<br />
graduate requirements for a bachelor’s degree,<br />
all graduate credits earned revert to undergraduate<br />
credit. The student’s load, including<br />
both graduate and undergraduate credit, may<br />
not exceed 16 credits or nine credits in the case<br />
of summer school. A senior selecting this<br />
option must file an Application for Admission<br />
with the Office of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies when he/<br />
she requests permission to take graduate level<br />
courses. Application deadlines for admission<br />
of last-semester seniors are the same as those<br />
for degree-seeking graduate students.<br />
Classifications of<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> Students<br />
Degree-Seeking<br />
Students<br />
Classified Status<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong>s of accredited institutions who have<br />
earned grade point averages of 3.0 or higher<br />
for all upper division credits taken at the<br />
undergraduate level, regardless of the institution<br />
at which the credits were earned, are<br />
eligible, upon submission of official GRE<br />
scores, to be admitted to classified status in<br />
graduate masters programs. Doctoral students<br />
must meet individual department GPA requirements;<br />
please see department sections of<br />
this catalog for complete information.<br />
Students who achieve at least the 35th percentile<br />
in one of the aptitude sections (Verbal,<br />
Quantitative, Analytical) may be eligible for<br />
this classification if the earned grade point<br />
average for all upper division credits taken at<br />
the undergraduate level is 2.0 or higher.<br />
However, many departments have more restrictive<br />
requirements than these for this<br />
classification. In the case of those students<br />
who have not completed the baccalaureate<br />
degree, the grade point average shall be recalculated<br />
on all upper division credits once the<br />
bachelor’s degree is completed.<br />
The College of Business requires the GMAT.<br />
The Department of Counseling and the College<br />
of Education accept the MAT in lieu of the<br />
GRE. Please see the department sections of<br />
this catalog for information.<br />
Conditional Status<br />
A department/college may, at its discretion,<br />
admit students to a degree program on a trial<br />
basis as Conditional students to ascertain their<br />
ability to do graduate work within a particular<br />
General Information ◆ 9<br />
curriculum. Conditional students are those<br />
who do not have acceptable undergraduate<br />
grade point averages and/or GRE (GMAT in<br />
the College of Business, or MAT in the<br />
Department of Counseling and College of<br />
Education) scores for admission to the university.<br />
Conditional status also may be used by a<br />
department for students whose credentials do<br />
not meet specific departmental requirements.<br />
Conditional students must adhere to regulations<br />
established by the <strong>Graduate</strong> Council. The<br />
following criteria must be met by the student<br />
before the Conditional status can be changed<br />
to Classified:<br />
1. The student must complete at least nine<br />
credits and maintain a 3.0 GPA or better;<br />
2. If the GRE (or GMAT/MAT) was not<br />
taken by the student at the time of admission<br />
as a Conditional student, the student<br />
must take the GRE (or GMAT/MAT) the<br />
first semester of Conditional status.<br />
Change from Conditional to<br />
Classified Status<br />
Upon completion of the above two criteria,<br />
a request to change the student’s status<br />
to Classified may be submitted to the Dean<br />
of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies. The following steps must<br />
be followed to accomplish this change:<br />
1. At any time after meeting of the above criteria<br />
a student may initiate an Approval for Change<br />
of Student Status in the Office of <strong>Graduate</strong><br />
Studies. However, the department/college<br />
may also initiate the change and should do so<br />
by written request when the student has met<br />
the required criteria. The department/college<br />
also has the option of requesting the change<br />
to Classified status before the student has<br />
completed nine credits.<br />
2. If the student’s credentials at the time of the<br />
request for change in status to Classified<br />
reveal a GPA of less than 3.0 for all upper<br />
division credits taken at the undergraduate<br />
level, regardless of the institution at which<br />
the credits were earned, and GRE scores<br />
lower than the 35th percentile for each of the<br />
aptitude sections (Verbal, Quantitative, Analytical),<br />
or MAT raw scores lower than 38,<br />
then admission to Classified status must be<br />
approved by the <strong>Graduate</strong> Council.<br />
3. The change from Conditional to Classified<br />
status must be approved by the Dean of<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> Studies.<br />
Departments/colleges may request that students<br />
be shifted to Classified status by written<br />
request. Not all departments/colleges exercise<br />
this option, and departments may have<br />
regulations in addition to those listed above.
10 ◆ <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies<br />
Students seeking admission as Conditional<br />
students should contact particular departments<br />
for advice on admission and registration. If a<br />
student admitted to Conditional status fails to<br />
meet the conditions for admission stated on<br />
the Approval for Admission form, the student<br />
will be dismissed from the program.<br />
Non-Degree Seeking<br />
Students<br />
Unclassified Status<br />
Applicants holding a bachelor’s degree who<br />
desire to take courses for graduate credit for<br />
personal or professional enrichment but who<br />
do not want to pursue a graduate degree are<br />
eligible to apply for admission to unclassified<br />
statu. Courses taken under unclassified status<br />
may not be used to satisfy degree requirements.<br />
Courses may be taken only in those<br />
departments that have approved unclassified<br />
status for the student.<br />
If the student wishes to pursue a graduate<br />
degree within the university, the student must<br />
(1) notify in writing the department/college of<br />
his/her intention to seek admission as a Classified<br />
student and (2) apply for change of<br />
student status in the Office of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies.<br />
The student must also meet application and<br />
admission requirements of degree-seeking<br />
students described previously or below.<br />
At the option of the departments, students may<br />
petition the Dean of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies to transfer<br />
course work taken while under Unclassified<br />
status to a degree program. The total<br />
number of such credits transferred shall not be<br />
more than 30% of the credits of the program<br />
of work required of each student for the<br />
degree. International students do not qualify<br />
for Unclassified status.<br />
Admission to<br />
Doctoral<br />
Programs<br />
Admission to doctoral programs varies depending<br />
upon the program of study. Potential<br />
applicants are encouraged to read the appropriate<br />
sections of the <strong>Graduate</strong> <strong>Catalog</strong> for individual<br />
program variations. Generally, students<br />
applying for admission to a doctoral program<br />
must hold a master’s degree and must have<br />
achieved at least the 50th percentile in one of<br />
the aptitude sections (Verbal, Quantitative, or<br />
Analytical) of the <strong>Graduate</strong> Record Examination.<br />
(Doctor of Arts applicants must have an<br />
average GRE score placing them in the 50th<br />
percentile or above.)<br />
Course Levels,<br />
Credits, and<br />
Grading<br />
Course Levels<br />
Courses numbered 600 and 700 are for students<br />
admitted into <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies only.<br />
Other courses for which graduate credit may<br />
be obtained are indicated with “g” designations<br />
in the Undergraduate <strong>Catalog</strong> and the <strong>Graduate</strong><br />
<strong>Catalog</strong>. Courses with “g” designations are<br />
shown on registration forms and transcripts as<br />
500-level courses (e.g. EDUC g483 becomes<br />
EDUC 583.) Extra work is required of graduate<br />
students enrolled in “g” courses. Whether<br />
these or other courses may be applied toward<br />
requirements for a graduate degree is determined<br />
by the department offering the degree.<br />
Credit by examination (course challenge) is<br />
not permitted in graduate programs.<br />
Activities Instructors May Require to<br />
Meet the “Additional Work” Requirement<br />
to Receive <strong>Graduate</strong> Credit in<br />
Those Courses Offered as g300 and g400:<br />
The <strong>Graduate</strong> Council expects instructors to<br />
require specific work to be done in a graduate<br />
level course to justify graduate credit being<br />
given. This is particularly true for courses<br />
which may be used to count toward a degree.<br />
In those courses designated at the g300 or<br />
g400 level, for students to receive graduate<br />
credit (500 level courses) specific and evaluated<br />
activities and performances must be identified.<br />
Listed below are a suggested list of<br />
activities which an instructor may use to meet<br />
this requirement.<br />
1. An additional scholarly activity such as:<br />
a. term paper(s)<br />
b. substantive report(s) which may be one of<br />
the following: survey, analysis and report;<br />
laboratory investigation and report;<br />
library research and report<br />
c. attendance at a significant regional or<br />
national meeting with an analysis and<br />
report<br />
2. Classroom activities that are beyond that<br />
required of undergraduates and are evaluated.<br />
a. special presentation of some subject<br />
b. provision of leadership on discussion of<br />
some significant topic in the classroom<br />
c. any other classroom activity which is<br />
evaluated and not required of undergraduates<br />
3. Examinations. Special examinations which<br />
are different from those given to undergraduates<br />
and are more demanding than<br />
those given to undergraduates. Such exams<br />
may be those which require greater performance<br />
at the higher cognitive levels such as<br />
interpretation, synthesis and evaluation.<br />
Credits<br />
For a master’s degree, a minimum of 30<br />
credits in approved course work, including<br />
thesis credits if required, must be completed.<br />
Except in the cases of the M.N.S. and M.P.A.<br />
degrees, a master’s degree student must complete<br />
at least 15 credits in 600-level courses.<br />
Credit requirements for doctoral degrees vary<br />
by program.<br />
A credit hour in graduate courses<br />
requires:<br />
1. 50 minutes in class each week for 16 weeks<br />
(or equivalent in summer sessions and in<br />
courses offered in special formats), or<br />
2. Approximately two and one-half hours in<br />
laboratory work each week for 16 weeks (or<br />
equivalent).<br />
The maximum number of credits obtainable in<br />
a semester is 16 including courses taken at the<br />
undergraduate level. In a summer session, a<br />
student may earn a number of credits equal to<br />
the number of weeks enrolled plus two, and the<br />
total number of summer session credits may<br />
not exceed 12 (e.g., a student taking classes for<br />
eight weeks may earn up to 10 credits). <strong>Graduate</strong><br />
Assistants may earn no more than 12<br />
credits per semester.<br />
Students who, because of exceptional circumstances,<br />
want to take more than the maximum<br />
number of credits, must request permission in<br />
person from the Dean of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies.<br />
They must also have support in writing from<br />
the graduate program director or chairperson<br />
of their department.<br />
Thesis or dissertation credits are not awarded<br />
to the student until after completion and final<br />
approval by the examining committee. At<br />
this time, the advisor reports a grade of S or<br />
U for all previous thesis registrations. The<br />
student may register for thesis credits any<br />
semester she/he is enrolled as a degreeseeking<br />
student, subject to the approval of<br />
the department chair or program director, but<br />
the letters IP (in-progress) are recorded on<br />
the transcript in place of a grade for all such<br />
registrants until final approval is obtained.<br />
The student who wishes to continue work on<br />
thesis credits shown on earlier registrations<br />
without registration is free to do so.
Workshop and Special Course<br />
Credits<br />
A maximum of four credits earned in workshops<br />
may be applied toward a degree. A<br />
workshop is defined as a short course that does<br />
not exceed one week. Workshops and special<br />
courses taken under the 597 number may not<br />
be applied toward a degree.<br />
Grading<br />
A 3.0 GPA for the courses listed on the<br />
program of study is required for any graduate<br />
degree or certification at <strong>Idaho</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong>.<br />
A grade of C+ or lower is essentially<br />
failing at the graduate level. However, some<br />
departments may accept a C+ grade in one or<br />
two courses as long as the minimum overall 3.0<br />
GPA is maintained. C+ or lower grades may<br />
cause departments/colleges to dismiss students<br />
from a graduate degree program. (See section<br />
entitled Restricted Registration) NOTE: Due<br />
to Grading changes approved during the 1998-<br />
1999 Academic Year, any restrictions or requirements<br />
in this catalog referring to a grade<br />
of C also include a C+ grade.<br />
All thesis and dissertation credits and some<br />
research courses are graded on a satisfactory<br />
(S) or unsatisfactory (U) basis. Departments/<br />
colleges may grade additional graduate courses<br />
with the S/U system with approval of the<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> Council. IP (in-progress) grades<br />
may be given for those students who have<br />
initiated but not completed their thesis, dissertation,<br />
or research work. No graduate courses<br />
will be offered on a Pass/No Pass (P/NP)<br />
basis.<br />
Students may repeat a course in which they<br />
received a grade lower than an A. In such<br />
cases, the last grade received shall be the grade<br />
of record.<br />
Incomplete Grades<br />
An Incomplete grade may be awarded at<br />
midterm or semester end. At midterm, an<br />
Incomplete indicates the student, through<br />
illness or other excusable absence, has missed<br />
so much work the instructor cannot assign a<br />
regular grade. An Incomplete grade at midterm<br />
is not a final grade. An Incomplete grade<br />
may, at the option of the instructor, be given<br />
at the end of the semester only when a student<br />
has satisfactory performance within three<br />
weeks of the end-of-semester examination<br />
period. Incomplete work must be completed<br />
within one (1) calendar year from the date<br />
such grade is given.<br />
A change of grade form must be submitted by<br />
the faculty member or the Incomplete will<br />
become permanent. The instructor must submit<br />
a Course Completion Contract along with<br />
the grade report for that class. The Course<br />
Completion Contract must be signed by the<br />
student and the instructor stipulating the<br />
assignment(s) required to finish the course<br />
within the allowable time period. A copy of the<br />
Contract is to be given to the student, a copy<br />
retained by the instructor, and the original copy<br />
attached to the course grade report and sent to<br />
the Registrar’s Office.<br />
In extreme circumstances only will a student<br />
be allowed an extension of time beyond one<br />
calendar year for removal of an Incomplete.<br />
An “Extension of Time for Removal of Incomplete”<br />
card must be completed and filed with<br />
the Registrar’s Office within the one calendar<br />
year period for this extension to be official.<br />
To receive credit for a course in which an<br />
Incomplete grade has become a permanent<br />
grade, the entire course must be repeated.<br />
Petitions to deviate from this policy will not<br />
be allowed.<br />
Transfer of<br />
Credits<br />
Master’s Degrees<br />
All credits must be earned on the <strong>Idaho</strong> <strong>State</strong><br />
<strong>University</strong> campus except in the following<br />
instances:<br />
1. In all degree programs a total of nine<br />
semester credits may be transferred from an<br />
accredited institution. Transfer of residence<br />
credits from an accredited institution is<br />
acceptable only if the courses were taken as<br />
resident credits at that institution and are<br />
specifically approved by the Office of <strong>Graduate</strong><br />
Studies and the academic department of<br />
ISU when the final program of study is<br />
submitted;<br />
2. Extension credits earned through ISU but<br />
taught by instructors other than approved<br />
faculty of ISU are treated as transfer credits.<br />
Official transcripts to be used for transfer of<br />
credits in a degree program must be received<br />
before application for a degree will be<br />
approved.<br />
Intra-institutional Transfer<br />
Transfer of Credits from Unclassified to<br />
Classified Status: Students may petition the<br />
Dean of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies to transfer course<br />
work taken while under Unclassified status to<br />
a degree program. The total number shall not be<br />
more than 30% of the credits of the program of<br />
work required of each student for the degree.<br />
General Information ◆ 11<br />
Transfer of Credits from One Program to<br />
Another: There are no limits to the number of<br />
credits which may be applied toward a master’s<br />
degree program which were originally awarded<br />
in a different degree program if:<br />
a) the student was not awarded a degree in the<br />
original program, and<br />
b) the department approves the transfer of such<br />
credits and the courses taken meet the requirements<br />
for the degree approved by the<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> Council.<br />
There are no limitations with respect to electives<br />
which exceed the requirement for the degree.<br />
Departments and/or colleges may allow students<br />
to apply up to nine semester credit hours<br />
earned at ISU to two master’s degrees.<br />
Doctoral Programs<br />
Departments may accept credits by transfer in<br />
toto or in part from a master’s degree earned<br />
at ISU or at another institution regardless of<br />
age of the courses. See section on Time Limits<br />
for further discussion of this policy.<br />
Residency/<br />
Correspondence<br />
Courses<br />
Residency<br />
All credits which are to be applied to an<br />
advanced degree must be earned as resident<br />
credits or accepted for transfer as described in<br />
the Transfer of Credits section. Resident credits<br />
are those earned on the <strong>Idaho</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong><br />
campus except in the following instances:<br />
1. With the approval of the department and<br />
college offering the degree, graduate credits<br />
earned in the Boise Cooperative <strong>Graduate</strong><br />
Center, Twin Falls <strong>Graduate</strong> Center, or<br />
<strong>Idaho</strong> Falls <strong>Graduate</strong> Center are considered<br />
resident credits and may be applied toward<br />
an advanced degree.<br />
2. Extension courses approved by the <strong>Graduate</strong><br />
Council and taught solely by approved faculty<br />
of ISU may be, with departmental approval,<br />
accepted as resident credit, but only<br />
when normal instruction does not demand<br />
special facilities available only on campus.<br />
Correspondence Courses<br />
No credit obtained by correspondence may be<br />
counted toward a graduate degree at ISU.
12 ◆ <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies<br />
Time Limits<br />
Master’s and Educational<br />
Specialist Degrees<br />
All requirements for a master’s degree or<br />
educational specialist degree must be completed<br />
within eight years preceding the student’s<br />
graduation. An extension of time may be<br />
obtained for good cause with the approval of<br />
the <strong>Graduate</strong> Council (file petition through the<br />
Office of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies).<br />
Doctoral Degrees<br />
The doctorate is a research or performance<br />
degree and signifies that the holder has the<br />
competence to function independently at the<br />
highest level of endeavor in the chosen profession.<br />
Hence, the number of years involved in<br />
attaining or retaining competency cannot be<br />
readily specified. Rather, it is important that the<br />
doctoral student’s competency be assessed<br />
and verified in a reasonable period of time prior<br />
to conferral of the degree.<br />
The comprehensive examination is the method<br />
of assessing whether the student has attained<br />
sufficient knowledge of the discipline and<br />
supporting fields in order to undertake the<br />
independent research or practice. It is expected<br />
that the examination will occur after all course<br />
work has been completed and language or<br />
other requirements satisfied, and it consists of<br />
a series of examinations covering all areas<br />
specified in the plan of study.<br />
Because the comprehensive examination attests<br />
to the academic competence of the student<br />
who is about to become an independent researcher<br />
or practitioner, the examination should<br />
not precede the degree by too long a period of<br />
time. Consequently, doctoral candidates are<br />
allowed no more than five years in which to<br />
complete remaining degree requirements. In<br />
the event a student fails to complete the doctorate<br />
within five years after passing the comprehensive<br />
examination, an extension of time can<br />
be obtained only by: a) The student getting a<br />
specified set of requirements from the student’s<br />
committee which states in writing what must<br />
be done to make the candidate up-to-date in the<br />
discipline. These new requirements for obtaining<br />
an extension may include the necessity<br />
to repeat parts or all of the comprehensive<br />
examination; b) The student must then submit<br />
a petition to the <strong>Graduate</strong> Council for the<br />
extension and provide the written documents<br />
showing the additional requirements established<br />
by the student’s committee justifying<br />
the requested extension.<br />
Out-of-Date<br />
Credits<br />
All credits applied to a master’s degree or to an<br />
educational specialist degree must have been<br />
taken within eight years immediately prior to<br />
granting of the degree unless it can be shown that<br />
the course work taken more than eight years<br />
earlier covers material which has not changed<br />
substantially during the intervening time or that<br />
the student has been able to remain current in the<br />
topics covered in the course. Evidence that the<br />
older course work is still appropriate must be<br />
approved by the department chairman.<br />
A petition requesting an exception to the eightyear<br />
limitation must be submitted by the student<br />
to the <strong>Graduate</strong> Council for approval. A<br />
letter of approval from the department chairman<br />
should identify the reasons why the older<br />
course work is still appropriate and be submitted<br />
with the petition to the <strong>Graduate</strong> Council.<br />
Advisors and<br />
Examining<br />
Committees<br />
All Examining Committees shall consist of an<br />
odd number of members. These members ordinarily<br />
must be members of the <strong>Graduate</strong> Faculty<br />
and approved by the Dean of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies.<br />
Appointments to Examining Committees of<br />
non-faculty members or of faculty members not<br />
on the <strong>Graduate</strong> Faculty must be approved by<br />
the Dean of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies. A listing of<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> Faculty is contained in this catalog.<br />
Usually, when a student is admitted to graduate<br />
study, a temporary advisor is assigned. In<br />
some cases, the department chairperson or<br />
graduate program director serves in this capacity<br />
for all incoming graduate students. The<br />
student, following departmental procedures<br />
and regulations, then selects a permanent advisor<br />
who will be responsible for helping the<br />
student to finalize the program of study.<br />
For most degree options, a second member is<br />
selected from the student’s department to serve<br />
on the examining committee with final approval<br />
by the Dean of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies. (In<br />
some programs of study, more than one departmental<br />
faculty member, in addition to the<br />
advisor, serves on the examining committee.)<br />
A third member of the examining committee,<br />
called the <strong>Graduate</strong> Faculty Representative<br />
(GFR) is appointed by the Dean of <strong>Graduate</strong><br />
Studies from outside the student’s department.<br />
The GFR must be a member of the <strong>Graduate</strong><br />
Faculty and may not be selected from a separate<br />
discipline within a yoked department. The<br />
GFR is the representative of the Office of<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> Studies on the examining committee<br />
and is responsible for reporting the results of<br />
graduate examinations to the Dean of <strong>Graduate</strong><br />
Studies. The Office of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies welcomes<br />
suggestions from the student regarding<br />
candidates for the GFR.<br />
Conflict of Interest of<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> Faculty<br />
Faculty are expected to exclude themselves from<br />
evaluation of graduate students with regard to<br />
whom impartiality may be jeopardized by considerations<br />
that are not academic. Such considerations<br />
may include, but are not limited to,<br />
membership in the same household or close<br />
familial relationships.<br />
Procedure for Changing a<br />
Major Advisor<br />
When a graduate student seeks a change in his/<br />
her major advisor, the following procedure<br />
must be followed:<br />
1. The student must submit to the academic unit<br />
head or graduate program director, as appropriate,<br />
a written request for change of major<br />
advisor. It shall contain the rationale on which<br />
the request is based and may, if the student<br />
wishes, propose a specific replacement.<br />
2. If the unit head/program director and the<br />
current advisor accept the rationale, and if an<br />
appropriate new advisor acceptable to the<br />
student is secured, the unit head/program<br />
director will submit the proposed new appointment<br />
to the Dean of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies<br />
for approval.<br />
3. Should the unit head/program director or the<br />
current major advisor not agree to the proposed<br />
change and the conditions thereof, and<br />
if no compromise acceptable to all parties can<br />
be reached, the matter shall be arbitrated by<br />
the unit graduate faculty (or its designated<br />
committee). Such arbitration may need to<br />
consider the question of ownership of data<br />
from research already undertaken by the<br />
student under the major advisor’s supervision,<br />
similarly whether another appropriately<br />
specialized major advisor is available<br />
for the student. The unit head/program director<br />
will notify the Dean of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies<br />
of the decision reached by the department<br />
graduate faculty or its designated committee.<br />
4. Any appeal of the department’s decision by<br />
the student shall be directed to the Dean of<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> Studies.
Program of<br />
Study,<br />
Candidacy,<br />
Application for a<br />
Degree<br />
Final Program of Study<br />
A final program of study must be submitted to<br />
and approved by the Office of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies<br />
during the semester immediately preceding the<br />
semester in which the student intends to graduate.<br />
The final Program of Study form will list all<br />
requirements that must be completed in order to<br />
receive the degree or certificate.<br />
If the requirements for the degree or certificate<br />
being sought change during a student’s program,<br />
the student is entitled to follow those requirements<br />
in effect at the time of admission, or the<br />
student may elect to follow the new requirements.<br />
Candidacy for Doctoral<br />
Degrees<br />
Admission to candidacy for doctoral degrees<br />
occurs only after the student has passed a<br />
preliminary examination which is usually<br />
administered early in the program, or when<br />
substantially all coursework has been completed.<br />
Students seeking doctoral degrees must submit<br />
a final Program of Study form to the Office of<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> Studies upon completion of examinations,<br />
but no later than the semester immediately<br />
preceding the semester in which they intend to<br />
graduate. The final Program of Study form will<br />
list all requirements that must be completed in<br />
order to receive the doctoral degree.<br />
Application For a Degree<br />
Within the first two weeks of the fall or spring<br />
semester in which the student expects to complete<br />
work for the degree, or the last day of spring<br />
semester for graduation during summer session,<br />
an application for graduation must be filed<br />
in the Office of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies. An application<br />
and diploma fee of $20 must be paid at this<br />
time in the Office of Registration and Records.<br />
If the student does not complete requirements<br />
during this semester or summer session, an<br />
updated application must be submitted for the<br />
subsequent semester and the $20 fee paid again<br />
in the Office of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies.<br />
Degree applicants must submit all official<br />
transcripts before applying for a degree. Official<br />
transcripts to be used for transfer of credits into<br />
a degree program must be received before the<br />
application for a degree will be approved.<br />
Applications for degrees will not be approved<br />
without the prior approval of a final Program<br />
of Study form.<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> Student<br />
Participation in Classified or<br />
Proprietary Research<br />
The <strong>Graduate</strong> Council affirms the policy regarding<br />
the participation of graduate students<br />
in classified or proprietary research as it is<br />
stated in the <strong>Idaho</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong> Patent<br />
Policy. “<strong>Idaho</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong> shall make<br />
only agreements with third parties which will<br />
not inhibit a student’s timely completion of a<br />
course of study or degree.” This shall be<br />
interpreted to mean that students must not be<br />
delayed in their program of study up to and<br />
including the award of the degree and that<br />
placement of the finished thesis or dissertation<br />
in the library for public access may not be<br />
delayed longer than six months.<br />
Library Privileges<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> student I.D. cards serve as permission<br />
to use the Library. <strong>Graduate</strong> students<br />
attempting to finish degree requirements, but<br />
who are not enrolled in courses and therefore<br />
do not hold a current student I.D., may obtain<br />
authorization to use the Library from the<br />
Office of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies.<br />
Examinations<br />
All graduate students are to complete a final<br />
examination. Final examinations are scheduled<br />
by departments and reported to the Office<br />
of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies.<br />
All examinations must be completed at least<br />
two weeks before the end of a semester or<br />
summer session in which the student plans to<br />
graduate. All graduate requirements must be<br />
completed prior to or at the end of the semester<br />
or summer session during which final examinations<br />
are held. Students writing theses or<br />
dissertations are given final oral examinations.<br />
Others are usually given both written and oral<br />
examinations. Doctoral students are required<br />
to take written examinations at various times<br />
prior to the final examination (see doctoral<br />
program descriptions). Doctoral oral examinations<br />
are open to all regular members of the<br />
faculty as observers. These examinations are<br />
not open to non-faculty without permission of<br />
the Dean of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies.<br />
The student passes the exam if a majority of the<br />
committee so votes. Otherwise, the student<br />
fails the final exam. For students failing the<br />
final exam, the <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies Office allows<br />
one re-examination. This re-examination is to<br />
General Information ◆ 13<br />
take place during the subsequent three (3)<br />
semesters unless otherwise approved by the<br />
Office of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies. If the academic<br />
unit involved has a formal re-examination<br />
policy, that policy supersedes the <strong>Graduate</strong><br />
Studies Office re-examination policy.<br />
If the candidate’s program requires a thesis,<br />
copies in substantially final form shall be in the<br />
hands of the examining committee at least two<br />
weeks before the date scheduled for the oral<br />
examination. Oral examinations are to be held<br />
at least two weeks prior to the date of graduation.<br />
If any member questions whether or not<br />
the substance or form of the thesis or dissertation<br />
is adequate, the committee as a whole<br />
decides if the thesis is sufficiently prepared for<br />
an oral examination. The major advisor is<br />
responsible for reporting a grade to the Registrar<br />
for all prior thesis registrations of the<br />
candidate when the thesis has been approved<br />
by the examining committee.<br />
After the successful defense of a thesis/dissertation/D.A.<br />
scholarly activity, the student must<br />
submit all appropriate documents to the Office<br />
of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies within two weeks. Failure<br />
to do so may delay graduation. If the required<br />
documents are not submitted within one year,<br />
the Dean of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies may declare the<br />
defense void and require that it be repeated.<br />
A manual with detailed instruction for thesis/<br />
dissertation preparation and clearance (Instructions<br />
for Preparing Theses, Dissertation, D.A.<br />
Papers, and Professional Projects) is available<br />
from the Office of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies.<br />
If the candidate’s program requires no thesis,<br />
the department or college is responsible for<br />
having a written examination on the degree<br />
program prepared and administered. If the<br />
student’s performance is judged to be satisfactory<br />
or if it is determined that deficiencies may<br />
be cleared up during the oral examination, the<br />
examining committee conducts the oral examination<br />
on the scheduled date. Otherwise, the<br />
student may be expected to complete subsequent<br />
requirements before the oral examination<br />
is held. Oral examinations for non-thesis<br />
students must also be completed two weeks<br />
prior to the date of graduation.<br />
Petitions<br />
A student may petition the Dean of <strong>Graduate</strong><br />
Studies for exceptions to the rules and procedures<br />
stated in the <strong>Graduate</strong> <strong>Catalog</strong> or for<br />
consideration of problems not covered by the<br />
stated procedures. Petition forms for graduate<br />
students are available only from the Office of<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> Studies; undergraduate petitions<br />
forms will not be accepted.
14 ◆ <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies<br />
A student would use the petition form to<br />
petition for:<br />
1. withdrawal from courses after the deadline<br />
for withdrawal as stated in the <strong>University</strong><br />
Calendar.<br />
2. use of credits more than eight years old to<br />
count towards a master’s degree.<br />
3. transfer of credits from unclassified to<br />
classified status.<br />
4. transfer of more than 30% of credits required<br />
for a degree from unclassified to<br />
classified status.<br />
5. transfer of more than nine credits from<br />
another institution to a master’s degree<br />
program at <strong>Idaho</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong>.<br />
6. an extension of the maximum time (eight<br />
years) allowed for completion of a master’s<br />
degree or educational specialist certificate.<br />
7. an extension of the maximum time (five<br />
years) allowed for completion of a doctoral<br />
degree after comprehensive examinations<br />
have been passed.<br />
8. correction of errors or inaccuracies on the<br />
student’s official transcript.<br />
9. any other deviation from <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies<br />
policy listed in this catalog.<br />
Petition forms should not be used for:<br />
1. appeals of a grade or of dismissal from a<br />
program. See the section on Appeals in this<br />
<strong>Catalog</strong>.<br />
2. substitutions of courses within degree requirements<br />
or waivers of degree requirements.<br />
Exceptions to degree requirements<br />
are requested as a part of the approval<br />
process for the Program of Study form.<br />
Withdrawal or<br />
Dismissal<br />
Students may voluntarily withdraw from graduate<br />
courses until the official drop date listed in<br />
the Academic Calendar at the front of this<br />
catalog. In such cases, the student must provide<br />
written request for the withdrawal by use of the<br />
appropriate withdrawal forms. Students wishing<br />
to withdraw from graduate courses or from<br />
a graduate program after the official drop date<br />
must obtain approval of the Dean of <strong>Graduate</strong><br />
Studies. Withdrawal from courses must occur<br />
prior to final examination week. Voluntary<br />
withdrawal from a graduate program during an<br />
appeal of dismissal automatically terminates<br />
the appeals process.<br />
Students receiving letters of dismissal will<br />
automatically be dropped from all graduate<br />
courses, regardless of whether they choose to<br />
appeal, and will receive a full refund of fees.<br />
A “W” grade will then be entered on the<br />
transcript for all graduate courses not completed.<br />
Students receiving dismissal letters<br />
after the 10th day of classes may petition the<br />
Dean of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies for permission to<br />
complete the graduate courses in which they<br />
are enrolled. Students who appeal the dismissal<br />
will be blocked from registration for<br />
further graduate courses during the appeals<br />
process itself. See also the section of this<br />
catalog entitled “Appeal of Dismissal.”<br />
A graduate student may be dismissed from a<br />
graduate program by a department/college<br />
according to the policy described in the Appeal<br />
of Dismissal section.<br />
Appeal of Grade<br />
or Dismissal<br />
Appeal of a Grade<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> students who wish to appeal a grade<br />
must use the following procedural format.<br />
Appeal of a grade must be made within one<br />
semester following the posting of the grade.<br />
Grades earned in the spring semester that are<br />
to be appealed need not be appealed during the<br />
summer, but the appeals process must be<br />
initiated in the following fall semester. Faculty<br />
members who are overruled in the appeals<br />
process are entitled to the same sequence of<br />
appeal as the graduate students. The Office of<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> Studies encourages resolution of<br />
appeals at the lowest possible level.<br />
Step 1:<br />
The Class Instructor. When a student receives<br />
a grade that is judged by that student to be<br />
unjustifiably low, the first step in the appeals<br />
process is to discuss the matter with the<br />
instructor of the class. This may be done<br />
informally but if the student plans to proceed<br />
up the line of appeal, a formal statement must<br />
be prepared in accordance with the format<br />
presented in the Protocol for Appeals shown<br />
below. This statement must specify what, in<br />
the student’s mind, would constitute a fair<br />
redress of the grievance. If the instructor<br />
agrees that the student was erroneously graded,<br />
the grade is changed using standard procedures.<br />
If the instructor stands by the original<br />
decision, the case may be taken to the department<br />
chairperson. In such an instance, the<br />
instructor must prepare a statement explaining<br />
the reasons for the grade.<br />
Step 2:<br />
The Department Chairperson. The chairperson<br />
of the department in which the appealed<br />
grade was received is to review the student’s<br />
written statement and the instructor’s written<br />
rationale for the grade. The chairperson should<br />
interview the student and the instructor and<br />
may conduct whatever additional investigation<br />
is deemed appropriate to help in the<br />
decision-making process. The chairperson<br />
must render a decision within two weeks of<br />
receipt of the appeal.<br />
If the chairperson sustains the decision of the<br />
instructor, the appeal may be taken to the dean<br />
of the college. If the department chairperson<br />
chooses to overrule the instructor, the grade<br />
must be adjusted and the chairperson may<br />
adjust the grade. It is possible to negotiate the<br />
adjusted grade. If the student remains dissatisfied<br />
with the adjustment, the appeal may still<br />
be taken to the dean of the college. Regardless<br />
of the decision, the chairperson must prepare<br />
a statement, in writing, that explains the reason<br />
for the decision. If the appeal is taken to the<br />
dean, the chairperson’s statement must accompany<br />
the student’s appeal and the<br />
instructor’s statement.<br />
Step 3:<br />
The Dean of the College. The dean of the<br />
college is next to be contacted in the appeals<br />
process. The dean is to appoint an impartial<br />
committee of faculty members who will review<br />
all written documentation pertaining to<br />
the case. This appeals committee should interview<br />
both the student and the instructor and<br />
may conduct any other investigation deemed<br />
necessary. The appeals committee, which is<br />
advisory to the dean, must submit a written<br />
statement of its decision. The dean’s decision<br />
is also to be tendered in writing. The<br />
committee’s deliberation and the dean’s decision<br />
must be completed within three weeks of<br />
receipt of the appeal in the dean’s office. If the<br />
student is not satisfied with the decision of the<br />
committee, the appeal may be taken to the<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> Council.<br />
Step 4:<br />
The <strong>Graduate</strong> Council via the Dean of <strong>Graduate</strong><br />
Studies. At the request of the student, the<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> Council will review all prior documentation<br />
and render a decision within three<br />
weeks of receipt of the appeal. The Dean of<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> Studies and/or the <strong>Graduate</strong> Council<br />
may interview the student and instructor or<br />
carry out any other investigation deemed<br />
necessary to assist in the decision-making<br />
process. Once the decision is made, it is final<br />
and will be implemented by the Dean of<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> Studies.
Protocol for Appealing a<br />
Grade<br />
Protocol for appeal of a grade must include the<br />
student’s name, department/college, date of<br />
the appeal, course title and number, instructor’s<br />
name, and grade received in the class. Also<br />
included must be the student’s rationale for<br />
appeal of the grade. The student should state<br />
as succinctly as possible the reasons for making<br />
the appeal. The student must also state the<br />
solution that would satisfy the appeal from the<br />
student’s perspective.<br />
Appeal of Dismissal<br />
from a <strong>Graduate</strong><br />
Program<br />
Dismissal Policy<br />
A graduate student may be dismissed from a<br />
graduate program by a department/college<br />
according to the following criteria:<br />
1. If the student fails to meet the continuation<br />
standards of the department (including<br />
conditions stated on the Approval for<br />
Admission form), or<br />
2. If it is the academic judgment of two-thirds<br />
of the graduate faculty in the department that<br />
the student is not making satisfactory<br />
progress in the program, and such judgment<br />
is recorded by formal vote.<br />
In all cases the student must be notified in<br />
writing by certified mail, return receipt requested,<br />
that he/she is dismissed and must be<br />
told in the document that he/she has the right<br />
of appeal according to the ISU <strong>Graduate</strong><br />
<strong>Catalog</strong>. The student should be given a copy<br />
of the <strong>Graduate</strong> <strong>Catalog</strong> or notified that the<br />
<strong>Catalog</strong> is available in the Office of <strong>Graduate</strong><br />
Studies. The initiation of the appeal must occur<br />
within 15 working days of the notification of<br />
the dismissal.<br />
Procedures for the Appeal of<br />
Dismissal<br />
Step 1:<br />
Departmental Level.<br />
1. The student must request reconsideration<br />
in writing using the Protocol for<br />
Appealing Dismissal from a <strong>Graduate</strong><br />
Program which is described below.<br />
2. A majority of the graduate faculty of the<br />
department must meet within 15 days of<br />
the filed appeal and must decide by a 2/3<br />
vote of those present to sustain the dismissal,<br />
or the dismissal is revoked. If<br />
necessary, the meeting of the graduate<br />
faculty may include those participating<br />
by telephone or videoconference. Should<br />
it prove impossible during the Summer to<br />
convene a majority of the graduate faculty,<br />
the department is required to assemble<br />
them in the first week they are on<br />
contract in the Fall semester. In such<br />
instance, if the student chooses to appeal<br />
the department’s graduate faculty decision,<br />
the Dean of the College and the<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> Council will attempt to expedite<br />
the procedure described below.<br />
3. Either decision (revoke or sustain) is to<br />
be explained in writing to the student.<br />
Copies of this decision and explanation<br />
should be sent to the Dean of <strong>Graduate</strong><br />
Studies.<br />
4. If the department upholds the dismissal,<br />
the student may appeal the decision to the<br />
dean of the college. The student must<br />
appeal to the dean of the college within 15<br />
working days of the notification of the<br />
department’s decision.<br />
5. If the dismissal is revoked, the department<br />
chairperson shall notify in writing the<br />
student and the Dean of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies,<br />
and the student shall be reinstated.<br />
Step 2:<br />
Dean of the College.<br />
1. If the student appeals to the dean of the<br />
college, then the dean must do the following:<br />
a. Read the student’s written statement.<br />
b. Read the written decision and<br />
explanation of the graduate faculty. c.<br />
The dean may interview the student or the<br />
graduate faculty in the department or<br />
conduct any other appropriate investigation<br />
that may aid in the decision-making<br />
process. d. The dean must consider the<br />
appeal within 15 working days of the<br />
student’s filed appeal and must decide to<br />
either revoke or sustain the dismissal.<br />
2. Dean Overrule. If the dismissal is revoked,<br />
the dean must state in writing the reasons<br />
for the overrule and notify the student, the<br />
department, and the Dean of <strong>Graduate</strong><br />
Studies, and the student shall be reinstated.<br />
The graduate faculty of the department<br />
may appeal the dean’s decision to<br />
the <strong>Graduate</strong> Council.<br />
3. Dean Sustains Dismissal. If the dean<br />
sustains the decision to dismiss, he/she<br />
must notify in writing the student, the<br />
department, and the Dean of <strong>Graduate</strong><br />
Studies.<br />
General Information ◆ 15<br />
Step 3:<br />
The <strong>Graduate</strong> Council via the Dean of<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> Studies.<br />
1. The student may appeal to the <strong>Graduate</strong><br />
Council if the dean of the college sustains<br />
the dismissal. The student must appeal to<br />
the <strong>Graduate</strong> Council within 15 working<br />
days of the notification of the dean’s<br />
decision. This appeal must be in writing.<br />
2. The <strong>Graduate</strong> Council must consider the<br />
appeal within 15 working days of the<br />
student’s notification of appeal. This<br />
review should include copies of documents<br />
prepared in Step 1 and Step 2 of the<br />
appeals process.<br />
3. The Dean of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies and/or the<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> Council may interview the student,<br />
graduate faculty, or college dean to<br />
secure whatever information might be<br />
deemed necessary to aid in the review.<br />
4. The Council’s decision to revoke or<br />
sustain the dismissal is final.<br />
5. The Council’s decision is to be prepared in<br />
writing, and with all other documentation,<br />
kept in the student’s file.<br />
6. The Dean of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies must<br />
notify in writing the student, department,<br />
and college dean of the decision.<br />
7. If the decision is to revoke the dismissal,<br />
the Dean of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies must<br />
reinstate the student in the program.<br />
Protocol for Appealing<br />
Dismissal From a <strong>Graduate</strong><br />
Program<br />
Protocol for appeal of dismissal from a graduate<br />
program must include the student’s name,<br />
department/college, and date of the appeal.<br />
Also included must be the rationale for appeal<br />
of the dismissal. The student should state as<br />
succinctly as possible the reasons for making<br />
the appeal.<br />
Academic Dishonesty<br />
Academic dishonesty includes, but is not<br />
limited to, cheating and plagiarism. Academic<br />
dishonesty at the graduate level is considered<br />
a serious offense and may result in dismissal<br />
from a graduate program.<br />
Whenever a faculty member suspects a graduate<br />
student of academic dishonesty, the instructor<br />
should present the evidence to the<br />
student and consider the student’s response. If<br />
the instructor concludes after consultation<br />
with the student that academic dishonesty has<br />
indeed occurred, the instructor should write a<br />
letter to the chairperson of the department in
16 ◆ <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies<br />
which the student is seeking a graduate degree,<br />
describing the incident. The instructor should<br />
include with the letter any evidence used to<br />
draw the conclusion that academic dishonesty<br />
has occurred (e.g., copies of the student’s<br />
written assignment, copies of documents<br />
thought to have been plagiarized, etc.), and<br />
should state clearly the penalty imposed within<br />
the course itself. The penalty should be in<br />
proportion to the severity of the offense. If the<br />
penalty is to be a failing grade, the instructor<br />
should first consult with the chairperson of the<br />
department, and the chairperson should meet<br />
jointly with the student and faculty member to<br />
review the incident. The student may appeal<br />
the penalty by following the procedures in the<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> <strong>Catalog</strong> entitled “Appeal of a Grade.”<br />
A copy of the instructor’s letter reporting the<br />
offense, along with any evidence submitted to<br />
the chairperson, should be sent to the student, to<br />
the dean of the college in which the student is<br />
seeking a graduate degree, and to the Dean of<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> Studies. A copy of the letter is to be<br />
placed in the student’s permanent file in the<br />
department and in the Office of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies.<br />
If the student is exonerated during the<br />
appeals process, however, the letter and all other<br />
records of the accusation of academic dishonesty<br />
are to be deleted from the student’s files.<br />
The department chairperson may, in accordance<br />
with the policy and procedures of the<br />
department, impose the penalty of dismissal<br />
from the program. A student may appeal the<br />
dismissal by following the procedures in<br />
the <strong>Graduate</strong> <strong>Catalog</strong> entitled “Appeal of<br />
Dismissal from a <strong>Graduate</strong> Program.”<br />
Interdisciplinary<br />
Degrees<br />
<strong>Idaho</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong> offers students the<br />
opportunity to pursue an interdisciplinary<br />
master’s degree (M.A., M.S., M.Ed.). The<br />
degree sought and the field appearing first in<br />
the title of the program will be that of the<br />
department providing the major portion of the<br />
graduate credits. Other fields in the title will be<br />
secondary fields of concentration.<br />
The requirements include: completion of a minimum<br />
of 30 credit hours with a minimum of 10<br />
hours in each of the departments participating.<br />
Students must be admitted into such a program<br />
by each department which participates. Students<br />
must contact each department contemplated<br />
to be involved prior to initiating the<br />
development of an interdisciplinary program.<br />
Although students must take at least 10 credits<br />
in each of the departments participating, departments<br />
may, at their discretion, require<br />
additional credit hours of the students as a<br />
condition of the departmental participation and<br />
admission of the student in the program. An<br />
initial program of study must be submitted to<br />
the Office of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies during the first<br />
year of coursework.<br />
Requirements for interdisciplinary programs<br />
are the same as for other degree programs. An<br />
interdisciplinary thesis may be written with a<br />
minimum of three credit hours and a maximum<br />
of five credit hours in each department. The<br />
final oral examination must include a representative<br />
from each department and a graduate<br />
faculty representative from a department not<br />
involved in the interdisciplinary program.<br />
Waste Management<br />
and Environmental<br />
Science Master’s<br />
Degree Program<br />
Students may pursue an M.S. in Waste Management<br />
and Environmental Science (WMES).<br />
Students must obtain classified admission<br />
status to <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies, which requires that<br />
students possess a 3.0 GPA or higher for<br />
upper division undergraduate course work (or<br />
hold a master’s degree) and provide official<br />
GRE scores equivalent to the 35th percentile<br />
in either the quantitative or verbal exams.<br />
Students may be admitted on a conditional<br />
basis without GRE scores, but the scores must<br />
be submitted no later than the end of the first<br />
semester of enrollment.<br />
Students entering this program are also required<br />
to have successfully completed at least 30<br />
(semester) credit hours in some combination of<br />
engineering, physics, chemistry, geology, biology,<br />
pharmaceutical sciences and mathematics.<br />
Specifically, students must have successfully<br />
completed coursework equivalent to ISU<br />
MATH 160 (Brief Calculus) and ISU CHEM<br />
111/112 (General Chemistry) with grades of<br />
“C” or better. Students may be accepted conditionally<br />
based on their willingness to complete<br />
one or two missing courses as deficiencies, if all<br />
other admissions requirements are satisfied.<br />
Conditional acceptance is the prerogative of<br />
individual departments/colleges.<br />
Students must also obtain admission from two<br />
academic disciplines. Admission requirements<br />
vary between academic units, and there may be<br />
departmental requirements beyond those of the<br />
Office of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies which the student<br />
must fulfill to gain departmental admission.<br />
Within the framework of the basic degree<br />
requirements, an advisory committee is chosen<br />
to work with the student to create an individualized<br />
program of study. The advisory<br />
committee consists of two ISU faculty<br />
advisors, one from each of the two chosen<br />
academic units. The faculty member in the<br />
primary academic unit acts as the student’s<br />
major advisor and provides direction to the<br />
student regarding all relevant aspects of the<br />
program. The committee should assist the<br />
student in selecting courses appropriate for the<br />
program of study. An initial program of study<br />
must be developed and submitted to the Waste<br />
Management and Environmental Science<br />
Council (WMES) for approval no later than<br />
the second semester of enrollment. Changes in<br />
the initial program may be made with the<br />
approval of the major advisor. The final program<br />
of study is submitted to the HWM<br />
Council for graduation clearance.<br />
The objective of this program is to allow the<br />
student to combine courses in Waste Management<br />
and Environmental Science with related<br />
courses in areas of primary interest. At least 30<br />
credits are required for the degree, of which at<br />
least 15 must be at the 600 level. At least 10<br />
credits must be completed within each of the<br />
two listed academic units, with the remainder<br />
of the course work representing the required<br />
and elective WMES course work. No more<br />
than 9 credits may be transferred from another<br />
university, with the exception of courses from<br />
<strong>University</strong> of <strong>Idaho</strong>, which will be accepted as<br />
resident credits. Thesis and non-thesis options<br />
are available for the degree. A maximum of 10<br />
credits of research may be counted toward the<br />
degree; these credits may apply towards the 15<br />
credits at the 600-level requirement. There are<br />
specific program-wide and department-specific<br />
requirements for the thesis and non-thesis<br />
option. Students should confer closely with<br />
their advisory committee members in deciding<br />
the most appropriate option.<br />
Department/academic disciplines participating<br />
in the program include: Biological<br />
Sciences, Business, Chemistry, Engineering,<br />
Geology, Mathematics, Pharmaceutical<br />
Sciences, Physics, and Political Science.<br />
Required Courses<br />
The following courses are required of every<br />
student receiving the M.S. degree in Waste<br />
Management and Environmental Science.<br />
BIOS 687 Environmental Science<br />

and Regulations<br />
3 cr<br />
ENGR 655* Hazardous Waste Management<br />
Seminar<br />
1 cr<br />
*Course must be completed two times in<br />
order to satisfy requirement.
Elective Courses<br />
Students, together with their advisory committee,<br />
should choose courses from electives available<br />
in each participating academic unit which<br />
will complement departmental courses in each<br />
of their chosen areas and strengthen their<br />
degree program. A listing of these courses is<br />
available from the Program Director, Dr. Edwin<br />
W. House, ISU Office of Research, Campus<br />
Box 8130, (208)282-2134, or from the Assistant<br />
Director, Dr. Maribeth Watwood, ISU<br />
Department of Biological Sciences, Campus<br />
Box 8007, (208)282-3090/(208)535-7899.<br />
Master of Natural<br />
Science<br />
Majors in Biology, Chemistry, Geology, Mathematics,<br />
and Physics or approved interdisciplinary<br />
combination of the foregoing may lead<br />
to the degree of Master of Natural Science.<br />
This program is designed to provide subject<br />
matter material for those teaching at the secondary<br />
level or intending to do so. Requirements<br />
include possession of or pursuit of a<br />
standard secondary teaching credential.<br />
If a student enters a M.N.S. program with no<br />
equivalent coursework in education, the student<br />
must take additional credits in addition to<br />
30 graduate credits in the discipline to receive<br />
the M.N.S. degree. This leaves 12-19 credits,<br />
including student teaching, to be completed to<br />
receive certification in <strong>Idaho</strong>. Candidates must<br />
complete a program of study in one, two, or<br />
three of the areas listed. The committee designing<br />
the program of study, in consultation with<br />
the student, should be comprised of members<br />
from each department involved plus a graduate<br />
faculty representative.<br />
Requirements include completion of a prescribed<br />
program of study of at least 30 credits<br />
at the graduate level approved by a departmental<br />
committee selected by the student in<br />
consultation with the student’s major professor<br />
and approved by the Dean of <strong>Graduate</strong><br />
Studies and satisfactory performance on final<br />
written and oral examinations. If the student’s<br />
teaching background is considered to be<br />
dated or deficient, a pedagogical component<br />
approved by the committee may be included.<br />
Pedagogical credits are beyond the 30 hours<br />
minimum required in subject matter course<br />
work. Courses to be counted toward the<br />
degree must be g-designated 300-400 level<br />
courses or at the 600 level. At least 22 credits<br />
must be taken in residence.<br />
Tuition and<br />
Fees<br />
The following fee ESTIMATES are subject<br />
to change without advance notice. (See<br />
“Policy <strong>State</strong>ment Concerning <strong>Graduate</strong><br />
<strong>Catalog</strong> Contents” on the title page of this<br />
catalog.)<br />
In general, the expenses for <strong>Idaho</strong> <strong>State</strong><br />
<strong>University</strong> students may be divided into classifications<br />
of fees, board, and room. In addition<br />
to the fees listed, some courses may<br />
require the expense of special uniforms, protective<br />
clothing, field trip expenses, lab fees,<br />
or instructional costs for remedial courses.<br />
Enrollment Fees<br />
All graduate students will be charged fees as a<br />
full-time student whenever they enroll for 8 credit<br />
hours or more. For financial aid purposes,<br />
graduate assistants/fellows and students receiving<br />
other financial aid must enroll for 9 credits<br />
per semester to be considered full-time.<br />
<strong>2000</strong>-<strong>2001</strong> Fees and Tuition, including mandatory<br />
student health insurance fee*. (This<br />
catalog was published prior to <strong>Idaho</strong> Board of<br />
Education final approval of fees and tuition for<br />
<strong>2000</strong>-<strong>2001</strong>, therefore, these amounts may not<br />
be accurate.)<br />
Per Semester Per Year<br />
Resident $1802....................... $3304<br />
Non-Resident $4922....................... $9844<br />

Room and Board Fees<br />
Students who fail to complete their agreement<br />
with the Office of Residence Life will have<br />
their room and board fees pro-rated and, after<br />
appropriate penalties have been deducted, they<br />
may receive a refund. See the Terms and<br />
Conditions of Residence section of the On<br />
Campus Living Handbook for details of the<br />
Residence Hall and Apartment Agreements<br />
and the penalties for breaking these agreements.<br />
Delinquent Accounts<br />
The cancellation of the registration and withholding<br />
of academic credit of any student with<br />
a delinquent account or an unsatisfactory financial<br />
relationship with the Business Office<br />
is authorized without further notice, provided<br />
an attempt has been made to notify the student<br />
by the campus department in which the hold<br />
originated. This regulation may be invoked at<br />
the discretion of the Financial Vice President<br />
in cases of disregard in the settlement of<br />
returned checks, residence hall damage, library<br />
fines, telephone toll charges, overdue<br />
notes, traffic fines, room and/or board charges,<br />
apartment rental charges, etc.<br />
Dishonored Check Policy<br />
A charge of $15 is assessed each time a check<br />
is returned, this amount is charged to the<br />
student’s account and s/he is so notified. If the<br />
check is not cleared within ten (10) days, a<br />
second notice is sent and a “hold” placed on<br />
his/her records.<br />
Any check tendered in payment of registration<br />
fees and subsequently returned by the bank<br />
will result in automatic postponement of the<br />
student’s registration.<br />
In the case of a check tendered in payment for<br />
room and board and subsequently returned<br />
by the bank, the student is notified immediately<br />
and allowed not more than five (5) days<br />
for the check to clear. If not cleared within that<br />
time, the student’s meal ticket and/or room<br />
reservations is canceled.<br />
General Information ◆ 19<br />
Financial<br />
Support<br />
The financial information below provides a<br />
listing of the categories of financial help which<br />
may be available to graduate students. However,<br />
in many instances specific sources of<br />
assistance are available only at certain times of<br />
the year and require application with a deadline<br />
enforced. With respect to campus-based aid<br />
(special non-resident waivers, Perkins loans,<br />
and college work study), applications should<br />
be made the January preceding the fall/spring<br />
semester for which aid is desired. To obtain<br />
specific details about a particular type of financial<br />
assistance, contact the Financial Aid Office,<br />
Room 337, Museum Building, Campus<br />
Box 8077, <strong>Idaho</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong>, Pocatello,<br />
ID 83209-8077, (208)282-2756. Students<br />
with great financial need may not be able to<br />
meet all educational and living costs with<br />
funds available through the university.<br />
Satisfactory Academic<br />
Progress<br />
To retain financial support as a graduate student,<br />
almost all sources of funds require that the<br />
student must maintain satisfactory academic<br />
progress. For graduate assistantships and fellowships,<br />
students ordinarily must earn nine<br />
credit hours or more each semester and maintain<br />
a 3.0 grade point average. Some departments<br />
may require additional evidence of satisfactory<br />
progress for a student to remain eligible to<br />
receive assistantship or fellowship support.<br />
Students who receive financial aid through the<br />
Financial Aid Office must meet the criteria<br />
established by that office for satisfactory<br />
progress to remain eligible for further aid.<br />
Assistantships and<br />
Fellowships<br />
All assistantships and fellowships are awarded<br />
at the departmental or college (for example,<br />
Business, Engineering, Pharmacy) level. Requests<br />
for consideration of these awards<br />
should be directed to the graduate program<br />
director, department chair or academic dean of<br />
a specific academic unit. Most assistantships<br />
and fellowships are awarded on an academic<br />
year basis. These awards are made in midsemester<br />
in the spring for the following academic<br />
year. To ensure consideration, a request<br />
for such financial support should be made to<br />
the academic unit by March.<br />
Only students admitted as degree-seeking students<br />
are eligible to apply for a graduate assistantship<br />
or fellowship. Non-degree-seeking
20 ◆ <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies<br />
students are not eligible to receive an assistantship.<br />
Because full-time graduate assistants are<br />
expected to work up to 20 hours per week, the<br />
maximum number of credits an assistant may<br />
earn in a given semester is 12. Normally, a fulltime<br />
graduate assistant is expected to carry a<br />
minimum of nine credits, which is a full load.<br />
Permission to carry fewer than nine or more<br />
than 12 credits may be granted by the Dean of<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> Studies upon written recommendation<br />
of the department chairperson or graduate<br />
program director. D.A. fellows are expected to<br />
carry a minimum of 9 credits per semester.<br />
Stipends for full-time graduate assistants and<br />
fellows range from $7600 (masters level) to<br />
$10,660 (doctoral fellowships) for nine months.<br />
Doctoral graduate assistants ordinarily receive<br />
higher stipends than those at the masters<br />
level. Full-time graduate assistants and doctoral<br />
fellows also may be awarded scholarships<br />
to cover in-state student fees and<br />
non-resident tuition.<br />
A student with a graduate assistantship or<br />
fellowship may be employed by the university<br />
for compensation in addition to the awarded<br />
stipend. This employment may only occur<br />
with permission of the Dean of <strong>Graduate</strong><br />
Studies and usually must be limited to 10 hours<br />
per week. Requests for permission for such<br />
employment must be sent in writing by the<br />
department chair or graduate program director<br />
to the Dean of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies.<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> Assistantships (GA)<br />
There are about 250 GAs available for the<br />
entire university; almost all of these require<br />
serving as an instructor for a department. An<br />
individual department may have only two or<br />
three to award. Most of these are awarded late<br />
spring semester for the next academic year.<br />
Full-time GAs are expected to work up to 20<br />
hours/week for their stipend. Contact departmental<br />
chair or graduate program directors for<br />
application materials.<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> assistants who are international students,<br />
whose native language is not English,<br />
and who have been assigned to teach may be<br />
asked to complete an English speaking proficiency<br />
examination administered by the Office<br />
of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies.<br />
Normally, graduate assistants are involved in<br />
classroom instruction, supervision of laboratory<br />
sections, grading papers and/or examinations,<br />
assisting faculty members in research<br />
activities, or other equivalent duties.<br />
Research Assistantships (RA)<br />
Research Assistantships are available throughout<br />
the university through grant monies or<br />
other external sources. Conditions of employment<br />
and amounts of compensation vary.<br />
Questions about such sources of support<br />
should be directed to the academic departments<br />
or colleges.<br />

Tuition and Fee Scholarships<br />
Departments may offer tuition and fee waivers<br />
as separate scholarships to graduate assistants,<br />
research assistants, and D.A. fellows.<br />
However, these offers are at the discretion of<br />
the departments. Non-resident tuition waivers<br />
accompany all graduate assistantships and<br />
D.A. fellowships but are offered as separate<br />
scholarships.<br />
Non-Resident Tuition<br />
Waivers (NRTW)<br />
There are several categories of non-resident<br />
tuition waivers. In each case a different contact<br />
person or procedure must be followed in<br />
applying for these. It is important to note that<br />
these waivers do not cover the required in-state<br />
enrollment fees, but only the non-resident<br />
tuition. Unless other scholarships are awarded,<br />
the student must pay the in-state enrollment<br />
fees each semester or term.<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> Studies Awardees<br />
(Limited Number)<br />
These are distributed on a competitive basis by<br />
the Office of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies. Students should<br />
apply using the form supplied by the Office of<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> Studies. Application must be received<br />
by April 1st for the following Fall<br />
Semester consideration and by November 1st<br />
for the following Spring Semester. The nonresident<br />
tuition waiver may be granted for the<br />
academic year or for one semester only.<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> Assistants and<br />
Fellows<br />
All assistants and fellows approved by the<br />
Office of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies are granted a nonresident<br />
tuition scholarship each semester.<br />
This is not the same as the in-state enrollment<br />
fee award, although both may be offered in one<br />
letter by the department.<br />
Other Non-Resident Tuition<br />
Waivers (NRTW)<br />
Additional waivers beyond those listed above<br />
may be available and require application to the<br />
appropriate office. Most of these are awarded on<br />
a competitive basis. Occasionally a department<br />
may have a special NRTW. Contact and application<br />

Research Grants<br />
A small fund has been created to make a few<br />
hundred dollars available to graduate students<br />
on a competitive basis to conduct thesis or<br />
dissertation research. Research proposals with<br />
budgets must be submitted to the Office of<br />
Research by deadlines established by the <strong>Graduate</strong><br />
Student Research and Scholarship Committee.<br />
This committee awards grants both fall and<br />
spring semester. Guidelines for proposal preparation<br />
are available in the Office of Research, the
Office of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies and from representatives<br />
on the committee. The Call for Proposals<br />
is sent out the first Monday in February for the<br />
following Fall Semester, and the last Monday in<br />
September for Spring Semester awards.<br />
Expenses for thesis and dissertation research<br />
are often paid by research grants obtained by<br />
faculty or departments. In addition, students<br />
may be employed with such funds at the<br />
discretion of the principal investigator.<br />
Scholarships<br />
Scholarships are available to graduate students<br />
in some instances. Announcements of scholarships<br />
currently available are posted on the<br />
scholarship bulletin board located outside the<br />
Scholarship Office (Museum Building 327).<br />
Not all scholarships are available to graduate<br />
students, however. Please note that some scholarship<br />
categories are discontinued at times and<br />
new ones are created. Therefore, a regular check<br />
at the Scholarship Office may be useful to<br />
interested students. In addition, there may be<br />
off-campus scholarship sources such as parents’<br />
or spouses’ employers, fraternal organizations,<br />
churches or businesses, or national<br />
foundations. These sources may be discovered<br />
by a systematic and careful search by the student.<br />
A small number of ASISU scholarships,<br />
which are derived from student fee payments<br />
are available to graduate students. These are<br />
awarded on a competitive basis. Application<br />
materials can be obtained from the offices of<br />
college deans or the Office of Research and the<br />
Office of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies near the middle of<br />
each semester. The <strong>Graduate</strong> Student Research<br />
and Scholarship Committee recommends<br />
awardees to the Office of Student<br />
Affairs and the ASISU Senate. <strong>Graduate</strong><br />
student applications for consideration of<br />
ASISU scholarships MUST BE RETURNED<br />
to the Office of Research to be considered for<br />
a graduate student ASISU Scholarship.<br />

Travel Funds<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> students may request aid for travel<br />
expenses to present papers on thesis or dissertation<br />
research at regional or national meetings.<br />
Such requests should be presented only<br />
after a paper has been accepted by the official<br />
sponsoring organization of the discipline.<br />
Funds for such purposes are very limited, and<br />
only modest requests are likely to be funded.<br />
Funds for such purposes should be requested<br />
sequentially from the following contact points:<br />
Academic Department<br />
Dean of the College<br />
Office of Research<br />
When submitting written requests to the Office<br />
of Research for travel funds, a breakdown<br />
of expenses for registration, lodging, travel,<br />
and per diem is necessary.<br />
Publication Costs<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> students may submit requests for<br />
funding to meet publication costs of a paper<br />
accepted for publication up to $50 from the<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> Student Research and Scholarship<br />
Committee (GSRSC) in the form of dissemination<br />
grants. Requests should be in the form<br />
required by the GSRSC and submitted to the<br />
Office of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies. (See information<br />
above under Research Grants.)<br />
Thesis and Dissertation<br />
Research Costs<br />
Academic departments ordinarily are expected<br />
to meet at least some of the costs of thesis and<br />
dissertation research. In some instances such<br />
costs may be met by extramural funds obtained<br />
by faculty and/or departments. With<br />
the exception of the small research grant<br />
program listed above, the Office of Research<br />
does not provide funds for such purposes and<br />
will refer students to the department chair or<br />
dean of the college when such requests occur.<br />
Publication costs of theses and dissertations<br />
are met by the student unless a faculty member<br />
or department chooses to pay such costs with<br />
funds available to them.<br />

The M.F.A. degree is the recognized terminal<br />
degree in the studio arts. The M.F.A. program<br />
is designed to refine the visual art skills of the<br />
graduate student in a particular area or areas of<br />
concentration by providing the instruction,<br />
facilities and time for the student both to<br />
develop a significant body of studio work and<br />
to expand his or her intellectual horizons in<br />
preparation for a rewarding professional career.<br />
In addition to the general requirements for<br />
admission to the <strong>Graduate</strong> School, each applicant<br />
must submit a portfolio of work, either<br />
color slides or actual paintings, drawings,<br />
etc., to the Art Department for approval.<br />
Admission portfolio should consist of work<br />
from preferred studio area(s) indicating control<br />
and capability. Remedial work may be<br />
suggested. The portfolio of slides will be<br />
retained by the department for students who<br />
are accepted and enroll into the program.<br />
Twelve undergraduate credits in art history<br />
are required for admission or must be completed<br />
in addition to the graduate program<br />
before admission to candidacy.<br />
Basic requirements are a minimum of 60<br />
credits in graduate courses approved by the Department<br />
of Art and the <strong>Graduate</strong> School. A<br />
minimum of six credits must be in the area of<br />
art history, and a minimum of 12 credits must<br />

Doctor of<br />
Philosophy in<br />
Biology<br />
The degree of Doctor of Philosophy is granted<br />
for proven ability, independent investigation,<br />
and scholarly attainment in a special field. It is<br />
primarily a research degree and is not granted<br />
solely on the completion of a certain number<br />
of credits. There is not a fixed total credit<br />
requirement for this degree. Credits for the<br />
dissertation and the research upon which it is<br />
based should comprise a substantial portion of<br />
the program and involve original work. It is<br />
understood that the research for and writing of<br />
the dissertation will require the equivalent of<br />
at least one year of full-time work.<br />
Admission<br />
Applicants Who Hold a Master’s Degree<br />
Entrance into the Ph.D. program requires (1) at<br />
least a 3.0 grade point average (GPA) for the last<br />
two years of undergraduate study, (2) scores in<br />
the 50th percentile or higher on the verbal and<br />
quantitative sections of the <strong>Graduate</strong> Record<br />
Exam (GRE), and (3) acceptance by a member<br />
of the graduate faculty who is willing to serve<br />
as the student’s advisor. Scores in the verbal,<br />
quantitative, and analytical sections of the GRE<br />
must be submitted before entrance can be considered.<br />
Required scores on the GRE may be<br />
waived if the average of the verbal and quantitative<br />
scores is above the 50th percentile and the<br />
GPA requirement has been met.<br />
Applicants who do not meet the minimum<br />
GPA and/or GRE requirements may be admitted<br />
on Conditional status. The conditions of<br />
acceptance will be specified on the applicant’s<br />
Approval for Admission to <strong>Graduate</strong> School<br />
form. In some cases, students may be required<br />
to retake the GRE. Students admitted on Conditional<br />
status because of low GRE scores will<br />
be transferred to Classified status if new GRE<br />
scores that meet the minimal requirement are<br />
submitted. Students on Conditional status<br />
must petition the M.S./Ph.D. Committee for<br />
transfer to Classified status after a year of<br />
graduate work and successful completion of<br />
the qualifying examination (see below). This<br />
petition will include a recommendation from<br />
the student’s advisory committee signed by<br />
the major professor. Continuation in the Ph.D.<br />
program is contingent upon approval of transfer<br />
to Classified status or a recommendation by<br />
the M.S./Ph.D. Committee for the student to<br />
remain on Conditional status. Any Conditional<br />
student who has not been approved for<br />
Classified status by the end of his/her second<br />
year will be dismissed from the program.<br />
Applicants Who Do Not Hold a<br />
Master’s Degree<br />
For applicants who hold only a Bachelor’s<br />
degree in biological sciences or a closely<br />
related discipline, entrance into the Ph.D.<br />
program requires a minimum of a 3.0 GPA for<br />
all undergraduate work and scores in the 50th<br />
percentile or higher on the verbal and quantitative<br />
sections of the GRE. No waiver of GRE<br />
scores is allowed except in the case of students<br />
for whom English is a second language who<br />
receive a lower verbal GRE score; these individuals<br />
must meet the <strong>Graduate</strong> School minimal<br />
TOEFL score.<br />
The application must include a letter of support<br />
from the prospective major professor that<br />
includes a description of a general plan of<br />
study. This letter is in addition to the three<br />
outside letters of recommendation required of<br />
all applicants. The application must be approved<br />
by majority vote of the M.S./Ph.D.<br />
Committee prior to formal acceptance by the<br />
Department. Applicants will only be admitted<br />
as Classified students.<br />
No student in the Department’s Master’s<br />
program will be permitted to advance to the<br />
Ph.D. program without approval of the M.S./
Ph.D. Committee. Application for advancement<br />
must include 1) a letter from the student<br />
that provides a rationale for the status change<br />
and 2) a letter of support from the major<br />
professor.<br />
Prerequisites<br />
The following courses are prerequisite for the<br />
Ph.D. program. Any student who has not met<br />
these requirements through previous course<br />
work must take these courses as part of his/her<br />
graduate program. These are undergraduate<br />
courses, thus credits earned in them do not<br />
count toward the graduate degree; however,<br />
they must appear on the student’s Planned<br />
Program of Study. These classes must be<br />
taken for letter grades and the grades earned<br />
must be “C” or better. It is possible to substitute<br />
a semester of biochemistry for one semester of<br />
organic chemistry. The student’s committee<br />
may make recommendations for meeting prerequisite<br />
requirements, but the <strong>Graduate</strong> Program<br />
Coordinator must approve any<br />
substitution to the courses listed below.<br />
1) One semester of calculus<br />
2) One year of inorganic chemistry<br />
3) One year of organic chemistry<br />
4) One year of physics<br />
5) *Quantitative analysis or analytical<br />
chemistry (with laboratory)<br />
*Required only for students specializing<br />
in microbiology<br />
Residency Requirements<br />
The equivalent of a least two years of full-time<br />
study is required. Part of the work may be<br />
completed elsewhere with the approval of a<br />
student’s advisory committee, but two consecutive<br />
regular semesters of full-time study<br />
must be taken in residence at this university.<br />
Qualifying Examination<br />
Student pursuing the Ph.D. are required to<br />
take a qualifying examination. The purposes<br />
of the qualifying exam are to assess the<br />
student’s potential for graduate study at the<br />
doctoral level, to determine areas in which the<br />
student shows strength or weakness, and to<br />
assess the student’s ability to assimilate,<br />
evaluate, and synthesize subject matter. Two<br />
options are available for the qualifying examination,<br />
as explained below. The major professor<br />
and the student will decide which option<br />
is potentially of most benefit to the student.<br />
The major professor will notify the <strong>Graduate</strong><br />
Program Coordinator of the choice during the<br />
first week of the student’s first semester in the<br />
Ph.D. program.<br />
Option 1: Written and Oral Examination<br />
The written qualifying examination requires<br />
the equivalent of two full days (16 hours) of<br />
effort. It will be scheduled in two-hour or fourhour<br />
blocks within the span of ten consecutive<br />
days. For students other than those in microbiology,<br />
the examination will be prepared by<br />
the <strong>Graduate</strong> Program Coordinator and the<br />
student’s major professor from a pool of<br />
questions submitted by departmental faculty.<br />
Half of the examination will consist of question<br />
in core areas: cell biology, genetics, evolution,<br />
and ecology. The second half of the<br />
exam will consist of questions in one of three<br />
emphasis areas as appropriate for the student’s<br />
area of specialization; ecology, functional biology,<br />
or organismal biology. For students<br />
specializing in microbiology, the entire examination<br />
will be prepared by the microbiology<br />
faculty in consultation with the <strong>Graduate</strong> Program<br />
Coordinator. The microbiology core<br />
exam will include questions in each of the<br />
following areas: virology, immunology/medical<br />
microbiology, microbial physiology, biochemistry/enzymology,<br />
microbial genetics/<br />
molecular biology, general microbiology, and<br />
microbial ecology. The second half of the<br />
microbiology exam will consist of questions<br />
in the student’s area of specialization.<br />
The written qualifying examination will be<br />
completed within the first four weeks of the<br />
student’s first semester in the Ph.D. program.<br />
The student will provide a schedule for completing<br />
the examination to the <strong>Graduate</strong> Program<br />
Coordinator during the first week of<br />
classes.<br />
Responses to question on the written examination<br />
will be evaluated by the members of the<br />
faculty who authored the questions. Answers<br />
will be graded as “satisfactory”, “questionable”,<br />
or “unsatisfactory.” After the examinations<br />
are graded, the student will be provided<br />
a summary of the results and allowed to<br />
examine faculty comments. The oral examination<br />
committee will then be established by<br />
the <strong>Graduate</strong> Program Coordinator. The oral<br />
examination committee will consist of the<br />
major professor, two faculty members chosen<br />
by the student, and two faculty members<br />
chosen by the <strong>Graduate</strong> Program Coordinator.<br />
The oral examination will be scheduled<br />
within two weeks after the oral examination<br />
committee is established. Scheduling is the<br />
responsibility of the student in consultation<br />
with the major professor and examination<br />
committee members. At least a two-hour<br />
period should be scheduled.<br />
The content and format of the oral examination<br />
will be determined by the oral examination<br />
committee. The examination will normally<br />
College of Arts and Sciences ◆ 29<br />
include but not be limited to areas of questionable<br />
performance on the written examination.<br />
During the oral examination, the student may<br />
challenge areas graded as unsatisfactory or<br />
questionable on the written examination. The<br />
oral examination committee will evaluate the<br />
student’s overall performance and may (1)<br />
admit the student to further work toward the<br />
Ph.D., (2) recommend the limitation of the<br />
program to the M.S. degree, (3) recommend<br />
that the background be strengthened before<br />
attempting to continue graduate work, or (4)<br />
recommend dismissal from the graduate program.<br />
In the event of the third decision, the oral<br />
examination committee will provide the student<br />
with specific recommendations or requirements<br />
and will schedule a second<br />
evaluation after not less than one semester. If<br />
the first decision is made, the student, in<br />
consultation with the major professor, will<br />
establish an advisory committee and prepare a<br />
planned program of study, which will be filed<br />
with the <strong>Graduate</strong> School prior to the end of the<br />
first semester.<br />
Option 2: Preparation of Research<br />
Proposal<br />
During the first semester in residence, the student<br />
will establish an advisory committee consisting<br />
of the major professor and three other<br />
members of the departmental graduate faculty.<br />
This committee will evaluate the student’s background<br />
and interests and develop a program of<br />
study designed to prepare the student for the<br />
comprehensive examination.<br />
During the first year in residence the student<br />
will prepare a grant proposal following the<br />
guidelines for an NSF dissertation improvement<br />
grant or comparable NIH proposal. The<br />
proposal will be prepared with the same care<br />
and in the same detail that one would expect to<br />
find in a proposal submitted to a national-level<br />
funding agency. The proposal will include:<br />
- survey of the literature to develop a rationale<br />
for the research<br />
- statement of the problem(s) or hypothesis(es)<br />
to be addressed<br />
- detailed description of methods including,<br />
if appropriate, the experimental approach<br />
and planned statistical analyses<br />
- preliminary date (optional, but highly encouraged)<br />
- time line<br />
- bibliography<br />
- budget (optional)<br />
When the research proposal has been approved<br />
by the major professor and the student’s
30 ◆ <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies<br />
advisory committee, the student will present a<br />
one-hour seminar on the proposed research to<br />
the Department. This presentation will occur<br />
not later than the end of the student’s third<br />
semester in residence. Immediately after the<br />
seminar, the student will be given an oral<br />
examination by his/her advisory committee.<br />
This examination will focus on the proposed<br />
research, but it can also cover other areas that<br />
are relevant to the student’s graduate program.<br />
The student’s advisory committee will evaluate<br />
the student’s overall performance and may<br />
(1) admit the student to further work toward<br />
the Ph.D., (2) recommend the limitation of the<br />
program to the M.S. degree, (3) recommend<br />
that the student’s background be strengthened<br />
before attempting to continue graduate work,<br />
or (4) recommend dismissal from the graduate<br />
program. In the event of the third decision, the<br />
advisory committee will provide the student<br />
with specific recommendation/requirements<br />
and will schedule a second evaluation after not<br />
less than one semester.<br />
Advisory Committee<br />
The student’s advisory committee will consist<br />
of (at least) three additional members of the<br />
graduate faculty who are chosen by the student<br />
in consultation with the major professor. It is<br />
the student’s responsibility to contact members<br />
of the faculty to ascertain their willingness<br />
to serve. The advisory committee may include<br />
individuals from other departments or persons<br />
from outside the <strong>University</strong> who hold affiliate<br />
rank in the Department, with the approval of<br />
the Dean of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies, but the majority<br />
of any committee must consist of regular<br />
departmental faculty.<br />
The final member of the student’s advisory<br />
committee is a <strong>Graduate</strong> Faculty Representative<br />
(GFR) from outside the Department who<br />
is appointed by the Dean of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies.<br />
The Dean will automatically appoint a GFR to<br />
participate in the defense of the dissertation if<br />
one has not been appointed before that time.<br />
However, it has been traditional for the GFR<br />
to be an active member of the advisory committee<br />
who participates in committee meetings<br />
and the comprehensive examination. In such<br />
cases, the student must submit a request in<br />
writing to the Dean of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies that a<br />
particular individual be appointed.<br />
Composite Minor<br />
Requirement<br />
The purpose of the minor requirement is to<br />
develop intellectual breadth. The composite<br />
minor will consist of 12 or more credit hours<br />
selected from at least two departments. Up to<br />
50% of the 12 credits can be upper division,<br />
undergraduate credits in departments outside<br />
of the Department of Biological Sciences. The<br />
remaining credits must be at the graduate level.<br />
Normally, the minor requirement will be met<br />
by coursework outside the Department; however,<br />
four credits may be taken within the<br />
Department. These must be graduate level<br />
credits in an area that is not closely related to<br />
the candidate’s major area of interest or research<br />
specialty. As part of the program of<br />
study, the composite minor must be approved<br />
by the student’s committee and the <strong>Graduate</strong><br />
Program Coordinator.<br />
Research Tool Requirement<br />
Scientific inquiry at the Ph.D. level requires<br />
understanding of the fundamentals of research<br />
design and application of statistical analyses.<br />
Students should also develop expertise in the<br />
use of additional research tools appropriate to<br />
their interest and area of specialization. To<br />
fulfill these requirements, each student must:<br />
a) demonstrate proficiency in statistics and<br />
research design.<br />
b) demonstrate the ability to use an additional<br />
research tool. Examples include: electron<br />
microscopy, foreign language, instrumental<br />
analysis, computer programming languages,<br />
GIS-computer based phylogenetic<br />
analysis<br />
The student must satisfy both a) and b) above.<br />
In each case, the student has several options:<br />
1) complete formal course work. The number<br />
of courses and credit hours will be determined<br />
by the candidate’s advisory committee<br />
but should be equivalent to at least two<br />
upper division 3-credit courses (preferably<br />
at the graduate level).<br />
2) satisfy the committee that the student had<br />
obtained the proper expertise through nonclassroom<br />
means (job experience, self instruction,<br />
etc.).<br />
Because of the unique nature of the foreign<br />
language tool, the student would be required<br />
to either (a) demonstrate the ability to translate<br />
articles in the field of biology from a foreign<br />
language into English, or (b) complete 2 years<br />
of the foreign language in college with grades<br />
of “C” or better. The articles to be translated<br />
will be determined by the student’s advisory<br />
committee after consultation with the examiner<br />
and will not be material that the student has<br />
seen previously.<br />
The choice of foreign language is within the<br />
discretion of the Department of Biological<br />
Sciences. For a candidate whose native language<br />
is not English, proficiency in English<br />
shall be determined by the Department of<br />
Biological Sciences. Language examinations<br />
passed at other accredited colleges may satisfy<br />
the language requirements, subject to the approval<br />
of the M.S./Ph.D. Committee. Such<br />
requests and approvals must be in writing.<br />
Comprehensive Examination<br />
Before submission of the final program of<br />
study, the student must pass a comprehensive<br />
examination intended to test his/her knowledge<br />
of the major and minor fields of study.<br />
The student will be admitted to this examination<br />
after completion of the majority of the<br />
course requirements and when the student is<br />
considered by his/her advisory committee to<br />
be prepared adequately in the major and minor<br />
fields. This is to be interpreted as allowing the<br />
student to take the comprehensive exam, even<br />
though one or two courses remain to be taken<br />
for the completion of their program. Several<br />
months (3 to 6) prior to the intended date for<br />
examination, the student should meet with his/<br />
her advisory committee to seek their approval.<br />
If approval is given, the student may at that time<br />
ascertain from the committee which topical<br />
areas will be covered and which committee<br />
member will be responsible for each. Students<br />
should meet individually with committee members<br />
to determine more specifically what materials<br />
will be pertinent and how to prepare for<br />
the exam. The examination must be partly<br />
written and partly oral. Both portions must be<br />
passed satisfactorily in order to complete the<br />
comprehensive requirements.<br />
The form of the written portion is flexible. But<br />
if it is of a “closed book” type, it should not<br />
be less than the equivalent of three (8-hourlong)<br />
days nor more than five (8-hour-long)<br />
days of actual writing time. Normally the<br />
written exams will be completed within the<br />
span of one week.<br />
The written portion of the comprehensive<br />
examination generally will consist of eight<br />
sections (each meant to be answered by a<br />
three- to four-hour essay) covering the scope<br />
of zoology or botany with pertinence to the<br />
student’s program of study. “Scope of zoology<br />
or botany” is interpreted as including the<br />
core curriculum in biology (cell biology,<br />
ecology, evolution, genetics), other topics in<br />
zoology or botany as specified by the student’s<br />
advisory committee, and the area(s) of specialization<br />
(e.g., ornithology, reproductive<br />
biology, aquatic ecology). By tradition, the<br />
examination also includes questions relating<br />
to the student’s minor area but not that of the<br />
language and/or “tool”. Grading will be on a<br />
Pass/Fail basis with 75% of the sections<br />
graded satisfactory required for a Pass on the<br />
written portion. Failed sections may be repeated<br />
once, at a time designated by the<br />
student’s advisory committee, but within a
year of the original examination. If a student<br />
has not passed 75% of the sections after<br />
repeating the failed sections once, that student<br />
will be dismissed from the program. The<br />
completed and graded written portion of the<br />
comprehensive exam is to be deposited in the<br />
student’s departmental file.<br />
The purpose of the oral portion of the examination<br />
is to provide an opportunity to clarify<br />
and explore further implications of the written<br />
examination as well as to present the student<br />
with new questions in the same general subject<br />
areas as those covered by the written exams.<br />
The oral portions should not be given until<br />
after the written examination has been evaluated<br />
by all of the committee members and the<br />
student, but no later than two weeks after<br />
completion of the written portion. The oral<br />
exam must be passed by simple majority vote<br />
of the advisory committee. In case of failure,<br />
the student may be allowed to retake all or part<br />
of the oral examination at the discretion of his/<br />
her advisory committee. If a student fails the<br />
oral exam a second time, that student will be<br />
dismissed from the program.<br />
Doctoral Dissertation<br />
Every student working toward the Ph.D.<br />
degree must submit a dissertation embodying<br />
the results of original and creative research.<br />
The dissertation must demonstrate the<br />
student’s ability in independent investigation<br />
and must be a contribution to scientific knowledge.<br />
It must display mastery of the literature<br />
of the subject field and must demonstrate an<br />
organized, coherent development of ideas,<br />
with a clear exposition of results and a creative<br />
discussion of the conclusions. Students<br />
may register for dissertation credit only after<br />
completion of all formal coursework.<br />
After the dissertation, in substantially final<br />
form, has been approved for format and content<br />
by the major professor, and not later than<br />
two weeks before the date of the final examination,<br />
the student must personally deliver a<br />
copy of the dissertation to each member of the<br />
advisory committee.<br />
Final Examination<br />
The final examination of the dissertation will<br />
be conducted by the student’s advisory committee<br />
including the GFR. The final examination<br />
must be completed at least two weeks<br />
before the date set for the commencement<br />
exercises at which the student expects to<br />
obtain a degree. Students are required to give<br />
a departmental seminar on the dissertation<br />
immediately preceding the final examination.<br />
The examination is concerned primarily with<br />
the student’s research as embodied in the<br />
dissertation, but it may be broader and extend<br />
over fields of study related to the dissertation.<br />
The final examination is entirely oral and is<br />
open to faculty invited by the advisor, Department<br />
Chair, or Dean of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies.<br />
Questions may be asked by committee members<br />
and those visitors specifically invited to<br />
do so by mutual agreement of the student’s<br />
advisory committee and the Dean of <strong>Graduate</strong><br />
Studies. A majority of the examining committee<br />
must approve the dissertation and the final<br />
examination.<br />
Doctor of Arts in<br />
Biology<br />
The Doctor of Arts (D.A.) degree program<br />
stresses preparation for undergraduate teaching<br />
in biology at colleges and universities. The<br />
program is designed to develop the candidate<br />
as a biologist, professional educator, and<br />
scholar. The general goals of the program are<br />
to help students develop:<br />
1. A broad background in biology.<br />
2. An understanding of scientific inquiry.<br />
3. The ability to synthesize concepts of biology<br />
and to communicate these concepts<br />
effectively.<br />
4. Expertise with teaching strategies appropriate<br />
for a variety of learning situations.<br />
5. The skills and attitudes that will enhance his<br />
or her effectiveness as a college faculty<br />
member.<br />
The program consists of a life science component<br />
and a pedagogical component. The life<br />
science component is designed to enhance<br />
one’s understanding of biological concepts<br />
and ability to interpret current research. This<br />
component emphasizes breadth in biology,<br />
but does not preclude depth in specific areas of<br />
interest. The purposes of the pedagogical<br />
component are to enhance communicative<br />
skills, to provide experience with a variety of<br />
teaching techniques, and to help the student<br />
develop a sound philosophy of education.<br />
All candidates for the program must have at<br />
least a 3.0 GPA for the last two years of<br />
undergraduate work, minimum 50th percentile<br />
scores on the GRE general and biology<br />
subject exams, and must have completed a<br />
Master’s degree prior to entrance into the<br />
program. If a student enters the program<br />
without having completed the Master’s level<br />
research paper in biology or a related science,<br />
she/he must complete this requirement in<br />
addition to the D.A. degree requirements.<br />
College of Arts and Sciences ◆ 31<br />
Requirements<br />
The program requires a minimum of 48 semester<br />
credits beyond a Master’s degree and at least<br />
two years of full-time study. Students must<br />
complete the required examinations, a dissertation,<br />
and an internship as part of the degree<br />
program. A written and oral diagnostic qualifying<br />
examination is taken during the first semester.<br />
The purpose of this examination is to<br />
ascertain the student’s competency to integrate<br />
concepts into undergraduate courses in botany,<br />
zoology or microbiology and to help the student<br />
plan a program of study. A comprehensive<br />
examination must be taken prior to filing a final<br />
program of study. The purpose of this written<br />
and oral examination is to assess the student’s<br />
knowledge of a broad spectrum of biological<br />
and educational topics and his/her ability to<br />
communicate answers effectively.<br />
The dissertation must display comprehensive<br />
knowledge of the literature of subject fields as<br />
well as biological sciences instruction, and<br />
must demonstrate an organized, coherent development<br />
of ideas with a clear exposition of<br />
results and creative discussion of conclusions.<br />
The dissertation can be designed to include<br />
multiple components such as:<br />
1. biological research that can be applied to the<br />
classroom<br />
2. pedagogical research related to biological<br />
sciences<br />
3. assessment of student learning<br />
4. in-depth analysis and evaluation of internship<br />
teaching<br />
5. multi-media or other curricular development,<br />
use and evaluation<br />
6. conducting research suitable and involving<br />
undergraduates in such research, and<br />
evaluating the efficacy of such involvement<br />
The final dissertation or parts, must be suitable<br />
for submission for publication in a referred<br />
journal.<br />
The internship is a rigorous, thoroughly<br />
planned pedagogical activity. Plans for the<br />
internship must be approved by the student’s<br />
committee; a copy must be presented to the<br />
biological sciences faculty prior to initiation of<br />
the internship. A comprehensive report of the<br />
internship, including its evaluation, is required.<br />
During the last semester of the student’s<br />
program a public seminar on the dissertation<br />
must be presented. Immediately following the<br />
seminar, the student’s final defense will be<br />
conducted by the student’s committee. This<br />
defense will normally cover the dissertation<br />
and internship, but may touch on other topics.
32 ◆ <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies<br />
Master of Science<br />
in Biology<br />
(Botany or<br />
Zoology) or<br />
Master of Science<br />
in Microbiology<br />
The M.S. programs require a substantial,<br />
original research project that culminates in a<br />
thesis, a minimum of 30 credits (including<br />
research and thesis) earned in graduate courses<br />
and seminars, expertise in core conceptual<br />
areas of the biological sciences, and completion<br />
of a research tool. Candidates must have<br />
at least a 3.0 GPA for all upper division credits<br />
taken at the undergraduate level. Scores in the<br />
verbal, quantitative, and analytical portions of<br />
the GRE must be submitted; an average score<br />
of the 50th percentile or above on the verbal<br />
and quantitative portions of the GRE is required.<br />
If either the GPA or GRE requirement<br />
is not met, the Department may choose to admit<br />
the candidate on conditional status. In all cases,<br />
acceptance by a member of the faculty is<br />
required for admission.<br />
Several courses are prerequisite for the M.S.<br />
degree programs, and any student who has not<br />
met these requirements through previous<br />
course work must take them as part of his/her<br />
M.S. program. These are:<br />
1) a semester of calculus<br />
2) one year of inorganic chemistry<br />
3) one year of organic chemistry<br />
4) one year of physics, and<br />
5) (M.S. in Microbiology only) quantitative<br />
analysis or analytical chemistry.<br />
These are undergraduate courses; thus, credits<br />
earned in them do not count toward the 30<br />
credit hour requirements for the M.S. In addition,<br />
there are a number of core conceptual<br />
areas of biology to which we expect all students<br />
to have had significant exposure by the<br />
time they complete their degree requirements.<br />
The core areas for the M.S. in Biology are:<br />
1) genetics and evolution<br />
2) animal or plant physiology<br />
3) cell biology, biochemistry, or molecular<br />
biology, and<br />
4) ecology or morphology.<br />
The core areas for the M.S. in Microbiology are:<br />
1) biochemistry and molecular biology<br />
2) physiology of microorganisms,<br />
3) immunology<br />
4) microbial genetics, and<br />
5) virology<br />
Students may opt to gain expertise in these<br />
areas via a variety of mechanisms including<br />
graduate courses, seminars, special projects,<br />
or readings. Although there are no specific<br />
credit requirements for the core areas, we<br />
expect that the total effort expended in each<br />
area would be at least equivalent to that required<br />
in a rigorous course in that subject area.<br />
It is also expected that any credits earned as part<br />
of the graduate program will be at the graduate<br />
level (i.e., at the 500 or 600 level); these credits<br />
count toward the 30-credit requirement.<br />
Thirty graduate credits approved by the Department<br />
of Biological Sciences and the <strong>Graduate</strong><br />
School are required to complete the M.S.<br />
degree program. At least 15 of these credit<br />
hours must be earned at the 600 level. Specific<br />
course requirements include:<br />
BIOS 691-692 <strong>Graduate</strong> Seminar 2 cr<br />
BIOS 648 <strong>Graduate</strong> Problems 1-4 cr<br />
BIOS 650 Thesis 1-6 cr<br />
PLUS<br />
Two additional 600-level<br />
courses<br />
6 cr<br />
Students in the microbiology program<br />
must take:<br />

Biology<br />
3 cr<br />
Tool Requirement: A reading knowledge of<br />
a foreign language or proficiency with another<br />
research tool is required for the M.S. degree in<br />
Biology or Microbiology. Students may satisfy<br />
the tool requirement by selecting option<br />
1a, 1b, or 2.<br />
1) Foreign Language:<br />
a) Students who enter the program with<br />
grades of “C” or better in two years of a<br />
foreign language in college or four years in<br />
high school, or the equivalent, meet this<br />
requirement. Others must pass a total of<br />
12 credits in one language or pass a<br />
special exam administered by the Department<br />
of Foreign Languages at ISU.<br />
b) A foreign-born student from a non-English<br />
speaking country may satisfy the<br />
requirement by passing courses (with a<br />
“C” or better) in a foreign language other<br />
than his/her native tongue (as described<br />
above) or two semesters of English composition<br />
courses at an English-speaking<br />
university.<br />
2) A research tool of equivalent intensity to the<br />
language requirement may be substituted<br />
for a foreign language. Examples of such<br />
tools are biometry, electron microscopy, or<br />
a related field outside the biological sciences,<br />
such as geology, engineering, economics,<br />
or computer science. <strong>Graduate</strong> credits in the<br />
Biological Sciences taken to satisfy the tool<br />
requirement count toward the 30-credit<br />
requirement for the M.S. degree.<br />
Master of<br />
Natural Science<br />
in Biology<br />
The Master of Natural Science degree is designed<br />
for teachers and those who wish to<br />
obtain additional breadth and/or depth in the<br />
Biological Sciences and related areas. This<br />
degree emphasizes subject matter and is a nonthesis<br />
program. The degree is only for students<br />

Requirements<br />
(See the suggested schedule)<br />
During the first semester each student is expected<br />
to select three faculty members to serve<br />
as his/her advisory committee subject to the<br />
approval of the Department Chair. In the<br />
second semester, each student will form their<br />
planned program of study with their research<br />
advisor, write a research overview of their<br />
project, apply and be admitted to the <strong>Graduate</strong><br />
School. The student is expected to begin his/<br />
her research no later than the beginning of the<br />
summer session. Thereafter, individual sections<br />
of the research paper will be required as<br />
students progress through the program.<br />
Students must apply and be admitted to the<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> School prior to their fourth year. The<br />
student must score at or above the 35th percentile<br />
in two areas of the aptitude sections (Verbal,<br />
Quantitative, and Analytical). Continuation<br />
in the program requires that the student maintain<br />
a minimum GPA of 3.0 from date of<br />
admission and annual approval of his/her<br />
committee. It will be recommended that students<br />
who are not making adequate progress<br />
discontinue the program.<br />
The student must complete a total of 158 credit<br />
hours. This corresponds to 128 credit hours<br />
for the B.S. degree and 30 credit hours for the<br />
M.S. degree. It should be noted that g300<br />
chemistry courses taken at the 500-level cannot<br />
be used for an M.S. degree in Chemistry.<br />
The final course selection must be approved by<br />
the Chemistry <strong>Graduate</strong> Program Committee.<br />
Students are required to have completed all<br />
general education requirements by the end of
their second year in the combined B.S./M.S.<br />
program. It is the intent that all students will<br />
finish within the period of 3 years after admission<br />
to the program. Successful completion of<br />
the program requires that the student write and<br />
defend a research paper embodying his/her<br />
research before his/her research committee.<br />
Suggested Schedule<br />
The following schedule will show how a typical<br />
student might progress through the B.S./M.S.<br />
program. Even though courses are listed as<br />
suggested, each student is required to meet all<br />
course requirements for the B.S. degree in<br />
chemistry (except independent problems CHEM<br />
481 and CHEM 482). Each student is also<br />
required to complete all four advanced chemistry<br />
courses (CHEM 610, CHEM 630, CHEM<br />
655, and CHEM 671). These courses are taken<br />
during the fourth and fifth years of the program.<br />

Doctor of Arts in<br />
English<br />
The Doctor of Arts in English prepares graduates<br />
to teach in two-year and four-year colleges.<br />
Thus the program requires breadth of<br />
study in English and American literature,<br />
interdisciplinary course work, course work in<br />
pedagogy and supervised teaching internships.<br />
Students will undertake directed research in<br />
one or both required doctoral papers.<br />
Admission<br />

offered following the student’s admission.<br />
Continuation in the program is subject to a<br />
student’s meeting this requirement.<br />
General Requirements<br />
The Doctor of Arts in English requires a<br />
minimum of 48 semester credits beyond the<br />
M.A. degree in English. A course completed<br />
as part of a student’s M.A. program may be<br />
approved to satisfy a particular requirement of<br />
the D.A. program, with the exception of the<br />
four required seminars in literature. However,<br />
the substitution of coursework does not waive<br />
the minimum credit requirement for the D.A.<br />
program.<br />
Not more than nine semester hours beyond the<br />
M.A. may be transferred from other<br />
institutions.<br />
At least two consecutive semesters of full-time<br />
residence study are required.<br />
Students must maintain a 3.5 grade point<br />
average to qualify for the D.A. degree. Three<br />
grades below B during the entire program will<br />
automatically disqualify a student.<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> students must follow the policy on<br />
incomplete grades as it is listed in the <strong>Idaho</strong><br />
<strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>Graduate</strong> <strong>Catalog</strong>.<br />
Teaching assistantships and D.A. fellowships<br />
will not be renewed for students with<br />
incomplete grades on their transcripts.<br />
Special Requirements<br />
1. Students must complete two supervised<br />
teaching internships. The student must submit<br />
a detailed written prospectus for each<br />
proposed internship for approval by the<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> Committee prior to the semester<br />

of the internship. An unacceptable D.A.<br />
internship will be interpreted the same as a<br />
course grade of C.<br />
2. Students will write two Doctor of Arts<br />
papers, choosing from the following<br />
options:<br />
a. One pedagogical or interdisciplinary<br />
b. One from the choice not taken above or<br />
a creative or critical literary paper.<br />
The doctoral papers will be evaluated by at<br />
least three members of the graduate faculty,<br />
including a representative from outside the<br />
Department of English. An unacceptable D.A.<br />
paper will be interpreted the same as a course<br />
grade of C.<br />
3. A colloquium presentation on a topic of<br />
their current research, given in the<br />
penultimate or ultimate semester of fulltime<br />
study, allows students to obtain experience<br />
in presenting the results of their<br />
research to their peers.<br />

The Master of Arts in English prepares graduates<br />
for careers and for doctoral study in<br />
English. The program emphasizes study in<br />
English and American literature and requires<br />
course work in the English language. A welldeveloped<br />
mentoring program provides supervised<br />
teaching experience in composition<br />
for students holding assistantships.<br />
Admission<br />
For classified admission to the M.A. program,<br />

from professors who know the<br />
student’s recent academic work.<br />
Students admitted conditionally without GRE<br />
scores must take the general test the first time<br />

in the program is subject to a student’s<br />
meeting this requirement.<br />
Students admitted without at least 21 credits of<br />
undergraduate courses in English and American<br />
literature and language, excluding freshman<br />
composition, will be required to make up<br />
deficiencies in their undergraduate work. The<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> Committee will specify the courses<br />
that the student must take to do so.<br />
Requirements<br />
The Master of Arts in English program provides<br />
both thesis and non-thesis options. Each<br />
option requires a minimum of 30 semester<br />
credits in courses approved by the Department<br />
of English, and students in each option must<br />
pass the General Literature Examination.<br />
Teaching assistants must take a minimum of<br />
33 semester credits, including English 731.<br />
Students must take at least 18 of these credits<br />
in 600-level courses.<br />
In place of the 6 credits granted for the thesis,<br />
students selecting the non-thesis option must<br />
take 6 credits of graduate course work. Students<br />
selecting the non-thesis option must also<br />
pass a Set Text Examination to qualify for the<br />
M.A. degree.<br />
Students selecting either option must demonstrate<br />
proficiency in one foreign language (see<br />
options for satisfying requirement under<br />
Doctor of Arts in English).<br />
All students must maintain a satisfactory record<br />
of scholarship. Three grades below B during the<br />
entire program will automatically disqualify a<br />
student from continuing in the program.<br />

Master of Science<br />
in Geology<br />
The M.S. degree is offered to those students<br />
who have degrees in geology who have demonstrated<br />
the potential for research and a professional<br />
career. Classified (degree-seeking, fully<br />
accepted) admission to the program is decided<br />
by the graduate faculty of the Geology Department<br />
in accordance with standards set by the<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> School.<br />
Admission<br />
A complete graduate application for classified<br />
status in the ISU Geology Department<br />
consists of:<br />
a. GRE aptitude scores (35% on math or<br />
verbal is required for classified students)<br />
b. A letter of intent and statement of goals in<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> School<br />
c. An ISU <strong>Graduate</strong> School application form<br />
and official copies of transcripts<br />
d. Three letters of recommendation<br />
Applicant must hold the degree of Bachelor<br />
of Science or Bachelor of Arts in geology or<br />
the equivalent as determined by the department.<br />
The student’s course of study will be<br />
determined by consultation and possibly an<br />
entrance examination. Students will normally<br />
be required to complete as deficiencies at the<br />
undergraduate level any courses required for<br />
the B.S. in geology at ISU which they have<br />
not already taken. Continued enrollment in<br />
the program is contingent upon maintaining<br />
a 3.0 grade point average and upon making<br />
satisfactory progress toward the degree.<br />
Students who do not meet the minimum requirements<br />
or with incomplete applications<br />
can be admitted on a conditional or unclassified<br />
basis. Conditional status can be changed to<br />
classified after one or two semesters if performance<br />
is satisfactory. Unclassified status is<br />
used for students with large numbers of deficiencies<br />
or with very low undergraduate GPAs.<br />
Unclassified students may petition for classified<br />
status when their performance warrants.<br />
Requirements<br />
A student who wants to earn an M.S. in<br />
Geology must complete at least 30 credits of<br />
coursework. These credits must be earned<br />
under the conditions outlined below:<br />
a) The student must earn at least 17 credits<br />
(including six Thesis credits) at the 600<br />
level in Geology.<br />
b) The remaining 13 credits may be earned at<br />
the 500 or 600 level, of which eight credits<br />
may come from a related discipline.<br />
In addition to the 30 required credits, each<br />
student must take two approved courses from<br />
outside the Geology Department (e.g., technical<br />
writing, anthropology, etc.) or may opt to<br />
take the foreign language challenge exam at the<br />
elementary level.<br />
The department requires that the following<br />
core courses be completed. These classes are<br />
normally taken during the first semester of<br />
graduate study:<br />
GEOL 591 Seminar 1 cr<br />
GEOL 601 Advanced Physical Geology 2 cr<br />
GEOL 603 Geologic Writing Seminar 1 cr<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> students may not sign up for GEOL<br />
650 (Thesis) until their thesis prospectus has<br />
been submitted and approved by the Thesis<br />
Committee. Additionally, all graduate students<br />
are required to present at least one<br />
geology colloquium dealing with their thesis<br />
topic prior to taking their oral examination.<br />
Master of Science<br />
in Geology with<br />
Emphasis in<br />

Geoscience. Students who wish their<br />
M.S. degree to contain the added designation<br />
“With Emphasis in Environmental Geoscience”,<br />
need to file an amended program of<br />
study form with the Office of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies.<br />
The curriculum may be developed in, but<br />
is not limited to, the following areas: surface<br />
and groundwater hydrology; environmental<br />
geochemistry; surficial geological processes;<br />
geomorphology; volcanic, earthquake and other<br />
geologic hazards; environmental geophysics;<br />
assessment and remediation of hazardous waste<br />
sites; Neogene and Quaternary geology.<br />
Courses in related sciences and engineering<br />
disciplines may also be included.<br />
The curriculum must be approved by the<br />
student’s graduate committee, and may include<br />
components taken at Boise <strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong><br />
and/or the <strong>University</strong> of <strong>Idaho</strong>. Inter-university<br />
graduate committees are encouraged.<br />
Master of<br />
Natural Science<br />
in Geology<br />
The Master of Natural Science degree in<br />
Geology is designed primarily for teachers<br />
and prospective teachers who wish to broaden<br />
their understanding of geologic processes, the<br />
nature of natural resources, and the effect of<br />
humans on their environment. This is a nonthesis<br />
program of study with an emphasis on<br />
subject matter that will enhance the ability of<br />
the teacher to give students an interesting, upto-date<br />
class in earth science or geology. Those<br />
interested in the program should possess or be<br />
working toward a standard teaching certificate.<br />
Requirements include completion of a
prescribed program of study of 30 credits<br />

in Geology<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> students admitted to the ISU M.S.<br />
program in geology may, subject to the approval<br />
of their thesis committee, transfer up<br />
to 12 credits of graduate credit from BSU. The<br />
thesis committee consists of three or more<br />
people: an ISU geology faculty member, a<br />
graduate faculty representative from ISU, a<br />
geology and geophysics faculty member from<br />
BSU (must be member of ISU graduate<br />
faculty), and perhaps an additional geology<br />
graduate faculty as desired by the student.<br />
Thesis research can be conducted under auspices<br />
of faculty at BSU or ISU, but registration<br />
must be for ISU GEOL 650 (Thesis)<br />
totaling six credits. Students can register for<br />
GEOL 650 only after a thesis prospectus has<br />
been approved. Normally, students must spend<br />
at least one semester at ISU. Students may<br />
apply credits of GEOL 648 (Research Problems-ISU<br />
credit), taught by BSU faculty, to<br />
their degree. These are ISU credits, not BSU<br />
transfer credits.<br />
The total credits required are the same as for a<br />
normal ISU geology M.S. degree (at least 17<br />
at 600 level; at most 13 at 500 level.) The<br />
requirement of two approved courses from<br />
outside the field of geology can be met at either<br />
ISU or BSU. Presentation of at least one<br />
geology colloquium at ISU is required.<br />

Master of Science<br />
(Health Physics<br />
Emphasis)<br />
The Health Physics Emphasis of the M.S. in<br />
Physics is a thesis program that will prepare<br />
students for radiation protection careers leading<br />
to upper technical and management levels<br />
in industry, universities, medicine, national<br />
laboratories, government, nuclear power, and<br />
radioactive waste management.<br />
The minimum admission requirements are<br />
admission to the <strong>Graduate</strong> School and a baccalaureate<br />
degree in a physical or biological<br />
science or engineering. The basic program<br />
requirements are 30 credits of which 15 credits<br />
must be at the 600-course level. Six of the<br />
fifteen 600-level credits may be thesis. The<br />
normal core program is listed below. Students<br />
who are prepared with some education and<br />
experience in health physics will likely not<br />
need all of the elective health physics courses.<br />
Therefore, the program of the student will be<br />
determined in consultation with the student’s<br />
advisor and committee and can include electives<br />
to meet their needs. An oral examination<br />
in defense of the thesis is required.<br />

Doctor of Arts in<br />
Political Science<br />
This program is intended for students interested<br />
in careers teaching political science in a variety<br />
of higher education settings from community<br />
colleges to universities. Doctor of Arts recipients<br />
are prepared to teach a variety of political<br />
science courses including those in American<br />
politics and in two additional specialties selected<br />
from among the fields of public law,<br />
political theory, comparative/international politics,<br />
and public administration. The program<br />
features an interdisciplinary component with<br />
nine credit hours of coursework required from<br />
Economics and nine credit hours from Sociology.<br />
Two required interdisciplinary seminars<br />
further strengthen the interdisciplinary<br />
orientation of the program.<br />
The D.A. in political science is generalist in<br />
nature. The emphasis is on a thorough grounding<br />
in political science supported by work in<br />
two other social science disciplines. The<br />
program places emphasis on teaching political<br />
science rather than on the development of<br />
a narrow research specialty. A nine-credithour<br />
component of the program includes the<br />
development of pedagogical skills as well as<br />
sustained experience in the classroom.<br />
Admission<br />
For full admission to the Doctor of Arts<br />
program, the applicant must have a cumulative<br />
GPA of 3.0 for the last two years of undergraduate<br />
study, an average score in the 50th<br />
percentile or above on the aptitude section of<br />
the GRE and a 3.5 GPA in all previous graduate<br />
study. At the time of application, the candidate<br />
must submit to the Department of Political<br />
Science three letters of recommendation and a<br />
statement of his/her personal goals.<br />
A candidate entering with a B.A. or B.S.<br />
degree must fulfill a minimum of 79 credit<br />
hours including the teaching internship and up<br />
to a maximum of six dissertation credits. No<br />
more than nine credit hours in Sociology and<br />
nine credit hours in Economics (exclusive of<br />
interdisciplinary seminars) count toward the<br />
79 credit hour minimum requirement. Candidates<br />
have the option of completing the M.A.<br />
or M.P.A. in political science en route to the<br />
D.A.; if they choose the non-thesis M.A. or<br />
M.P.A. program, only 30 hours of course<br />
work from the M.A. or M.P.A. will apply to<br />
the Doctor of Arts program. Candidates entering<br />
the Doctor of Arts program with M.A.<br />
degrees must complete a minimum of 49 credit<br />
hours, including two full-time consecutive<br />
semesters in residence, including a maximum<br />
six hours of dissertation credit. The total length<br />
and number of credit hours of a student’s<br />
program, above the minimum, is dependent<br />
upon the student’s academic preparation and<br />
his/her committee’s recommendations.<br />
Requirements<br />
Political Science<br />
Doctoral students are examined in three fields<br />
of political science. For all doctoral students<br />
the major field of American politics is required.<br />
1. American Politics, and<br />
2. Any two of the following fields:<br />
a. Public Law<br />
b. Political Theory<br />
c. Comparative/International Politics<br />
d. Public Administration<br />
Doctor of Arts students are required to take<br />

Arts students are also required to take POLS<br />
699, Dissertation, for a minimum of 3 credits.<br />
Doctor of Arts students write a doctoral dissertation<br />
which may deal with either substantive<br />
disciplinary issues or pedagogical<br />
innovations or techniques. A draft of the<br />
dissertation must be approved by each D.A.<br />
candidate’s committee before sitting for comprehensive<br />
examinations. Faculty and students<br />
are invited to the formal presentation of<br />
the dissertation.<br />
Pedagogy<br />
Students must complete a nine-credit component<br />
of pedagogy to include POLS 694, POLS<br />
702, and POLS 703.<br />
Economics<br />
Nine graduate credits (specific courses to be<br />
determined in consultation with each<br />
candidate’s graduate committee).<br />
Sociology<br />
Nine graduate credits (specific courses to be<br />
determined in consultation with each<br />
candidate’s graduate committee).<br />
Interdisciplinary Classes<br />
A minimum of six credits in interdisciplinary<br />
classes which integrate concepts from political<br />
science, economics, and sociology. Three credits<br />
must be selected from among the following<br />
courses: POLS 620, ECON 620, or SOC 620;<br />
three credits must be selected from among the<br />
following courses: POLS 621, ECON 621, or<br />
SOC 621. Interdisciplinary courses taken as<br />
Sociology or Economics do not count toward<br />
the nine (9) credit hour requirement in those<br />
disciplines.<br />
Examinations<br />
A comprehensive written and oral examination<br />
is administered at the conclusion of the program<br />
which tests the candidate’s knowledge of<br />
three fields of political science.<br />
Master of Arts in<br />
Political Science<br />
This program emphasizes general preparation<br />
in political science and research. It is<br />
designed to:<br />
1. Provide the first phase of graduate study for<br />
students seeking terminal degrees such as<br />
the Ph.D. or D.A. and who plan to complete<br />
their studies at <strong>Idaho</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong> or at<br />
another institution.<br />
2. Train individuals who plan to seek employment<br />
upon completion of the M.A. degree<br />
in non-teaching governmental positions.<br />
3. Provide in-service opportunities for enhancing<br />
the conceptual and research capabilities<br />
of persons who are employed in<br />
teaching or public positions.<br />
Thesis/non-thesis options are available.<br />
Areas of emphasis in the M.A. program are<br />
limited, because of the research nature of the<br />
degree, to American governmental institutions<br />
and political behavior, public law,<br />
political theory, public administration and<br />
comparative/international politics.
Requirements<br />
M.A. candidates are required to present themselves<br />
for comprehensive examination on their<br />
thesis and/or in three of the five areas of<br />
emphasis mentioned above.<br />
In addition to meeting the general requirements<br />
of the <strong>Graduate</strong> School, a student must<br />
have achieved a cumulative GPA of 3.0 for the<br />
last two years of undergraduate study and an<br />
average score in the 35th percentile or above<br />
on the aptitude section of the GRE to be eligible<br />
for admission to the graduate program and to<br />
candidacy for the M.A. degree in political<br />
science. At the time of application, the candidate<br />
must submit to the Department of Political<br />
Science three letters of recommendation and a<br />
statement of his/her personal goals.<br />
A thesis (six credits), 24 additional credits<br />
approved by the Department of Political Science<br />
and the <strong>Graduate</strong> School, and a reading<br />
knowledge of one foreign language are the<br />
basic requirements of the graduate program in<br />
political science. Subject to department approval,<br />
a non-thesis program is available.<br />
Subsequent to the approval of the Department<br />
of Political Science, the student may elect to<br />
satisfy the language requirement by satisfactory<br />
completion of a course in methodology,<br />
demonstrating a comprehensive theoretical<br />
and practical understanding of a relevant<br />
research method.<br />
Thesis Program<br />
Required courses are POLS 519 and POLS<br />
519L, Political Research Methods, 4 credits,<br />
and POLS 650, Thesis, 6 credits. Other requirements<br />
include a total of 30 credit hours in<br />
graduate level courses approved by the Department<br />
of Political Science and the <strong>Graduate</strong><br />
School; a minimum of 15 credit hours taken at<br />
the 600 level and a comprehensive oral examination<br />
in government covering the student’s<br />
graduate course work, the literature of the<br />
field, and the M.A. thesis.<br />
Non-thesis Program<br />
Required courses are the same as the thesis<br />
program with the exception of deleting POLS<br />
650, Thesis, 6 credits. Other requirements<br />
include a total of 36 credit hours in graduate<br />
level courses approved by the Department of<br />
Political Science and the <strong>Graduate</strong> School; a<br />
minimum of 15 credit hours taken at the 600<br />
level; a comprehensive written examination in<br />
political science covering the student’s graduate<br />
course work and the department’s graduate<br />
bibliography; and a final oral examination<br />
which, like the final written exam, may be<br />
taken no more than twice.<br />
Master of Public<br />
Administration<br />
The Master in Public Administration degree is<br />
an inter-university cooperative graduate program<br />
offered jointly by Boise <strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong>,<br />
<strong>Idaho</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong> and the <strong>University</strong> of<br />
<strong>Idaho</strong>. The purpose of the program is to provide<br />
present and prospective public administrators<br />
with the basic intellectual preparation necessary<br />
to understand and to adjust to a changing and<br />
challenging environment, through an introduction<br />
to the theories and practices of administration,<br />
management and social science research as<br />
these relate to effective performance in public<br />
organizations.<br />
The inter-university M.P.A. program has been<br />
designed in accordance with the Guidelines and<br />
Standards for Professional Master’s Degree<br />
Programs in Public Affairs and Public Administration<br />
prescribed through the National Association<br />
of Schools of Public Affairs and<br />
Administration (NASPAA).<br />
Admission to the M.P.A.<br />
Program<br />
Students may enroll in the M.P.A. program by<br />
applying to one of the participating universities.<br />
Acceptance by any one of the three universities<br />
admits a student into the M.P.A. program. New<br />
and transfer students admitted to ISU’s M.P.A.<br />
program must meet the standards set by ISU<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> School. This includes scoring at an<br />
acceptable level on the GRE’s. A matriculated<br />
student should complete graduate studies at the<br />
institution which offers the area of specialization<br />
which s/he wishes to emphasize. Each student’s<br />
program will be established by an advisory<br />
committee consisting of three faculty members.<br />
It is anticipated that students will come from<br />
widely differing academic preparations, since<br />
no specific undergraduate program is required<br />
in preparation for the M.P.A. program. However,<br />
some course work in humanities and social<br />
sciences is essential to the foundation of the<br />
M.P.A. program for all students.<br />
In addition to the general requirements of each<br />
graduate school, students seeking admission<br />
must have completed a baccalaureate degree<br />
from an accredited institution, demonstrate<br />
satisfactory academic competency by attaining<br />
a cumulative GPA of 3.0 for the last two<br />
years of undergraduate study, achieve an average<br />
score placing them at or above the 35th<br />
percentile (current norms) on the aptitude<br />
section of the GRE, and submit three letters<br />

of students who wish to satisfy requirements<br />
for certification as public accountants (CPA)<br />
or certification as management accountants<br />
(CMA). In the interest of a more diverse<br />
student body, the college encourages and<br />
attracts a small number of full-time students<br />
from other parts of the United <strong>State</strong>s and<br />
foreign countries.<br />
The Goals of the M.B.A.<br />
Program<br />
The goal of the M.B.A. program is to prepare<br />
students for leadership roles in all areas of<br />
business requiring skilled and ethical decision-making<br />
and analytical abilities. Specific<br />
goals are to develop:<br />
• Competency in the functional fields of business<br />
of accounting, economics, finance,<br />
information systems, and marketing.<br />
• An understanding of human behavior in<br />
business situations and the manager’s role<br />
as a leader in influencing behavior.<br />
• Skill in performing industry and financial<br />
analysis in a global context.<br />
• An awareness and understanding of the<br />
economic, political, legal and social environments<br />
in which business operates.<br />
• An integrative and strategic focus for<br />
students in decision making and problem<br />
solving.<br />
• Strengthened individual interpersonal,<br />
leadership, and communication skills.<br />
The accounting emphasis program produces<br />
graduates with the knowledge and skills for<br />
successful professional accounting careers. The<br />
goal of the accounting emphasis is to provide<br />
graduates with the following characteristics:<br />
• Business and accounting knowledge.<br />
• Capability and motivation for continued<br />
learning.<br />
• Competence in learning skills (including<br />
research of data bases).<br />
• Ability to analyze, critique, and communicate.<br />
• Ability to work effectively with others.<br />
• Rigorous ethical standards.<br />
The M.B.A. Accounting Emphasis program<br />
enhances knowledge and skills for rapid advancement<br />
in either managerial or public accounting.<br />
M.B.A. graduates should be prepared<br />
to pass certification examinations for both the<br />
Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and Certified<br />
Management Accountant (CMA).<br />
The M.B.A. Program<br />
The M.B.A. program consists of seven firstyear<br />
graduate core courses (M.B.A. I), a core<br />
of six second-year courses (M.B.A. II), and<br />
four elective courses. Students who select an<br />
emphasis in accounting for their program take<br />
a series of four advanced accounting courses<br />
in place of the four elective courses.<br />
The first-year core courses develop a broad<br />
competence in the functional fields of business:<br />
Accounting, Economics, Finance, and<br />
Marketing. The core also examines behavioral,<br />
information system, and industry analysis<br />
issues that cut across the functional<br />
boundaries and provide a basic educational<br />
background. In addition, the core specifically<br />
addresses manufacturing competitiveness<br />
critical in the global environment.<br />
The second year consists of six required and<br />
four elective courses. The required courses,<br />
although anchored in traditional functional<br />
fields are designed to provide a strong integrative<br />
focus building upon the competencies<br />
developed in the first year.<br />
Admission<br />
Admission to the program and maintenance of<br />
good standing will be in accord with the<br />
requirements of the Office of <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies<br />
of <strong>Idaho</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong> and additional<br />
College of Business requirements.<br />
Admission to the M.B.A. program is granted<br />
only to students showing high promise of success.<br />
The College of Business uses various<br />
measures of high promise, including the<br />
candidate’s performance on the <strong>Graduate</strong> Management<br />
Admissions Test (GMAT), upperdivision<br />
grade-point average, and work<br />
experience. Ordinarily such measures, along<br />
with other reasonable indications of promise,<br />
will be used in combination to arrive at a final<br />
judgment.
68 ◆ <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies<br />
Normally, the minimum requirement that must<br />
be met to be considered for admission is<br />
defined by the following:<br />
The sum of 200 times the grade point average in<br />
upper-division course work (4.0 system)<br />
plus the total score on the <strong>Graduate</strong><br />
Management Admission Test must equal at<br />
least 1050 points.<br />
Meeting this minimum requirement does not<br />
assure admission to the M.B.A. program since<br />
many factors are weighed in this decision. The<br />
verbal, quantitative, and analytical writing (if<br />
available) scores of the GMAT will be reviewed<br />
in reaching a decision. A low score on<br />
any of these measures may lead to denial of<br />
admission unless offsetting indicators are<br />
present. Work experience and recommendations<br />
may also be considered in the admission<br />
decision when useful and appropriate.<br />
Please note that no individual can be fully<br />
admitted to the M.B.A. program until the<br />
College of Business has received the applicant’s<br />
official transcripts and official GMAT score.<br />
Students may be provisionally admitted in<br />
unclassified or conditional status pending receipt<br />
of their GMAT scores if they have a<br />
sufficiently high upper-division GPA. Such<br />
admissions are normally limited to part-time<br />
students who reside in the immediate region.<br />
Locations<br />
M.B.A. classes are offered at the Pocatello<br />
campus and at <strong>Idaho</strong> Falls. In some instances<br />
students may have to travel to Pocatello or<br />
<strong>Idaho</strong> Falls to obtain a specific class.<br />
M.B.A. Minimum<br />
Prerequisites<br />
Mathematics Skills<br />
The minimum level of mathematics required<br />
for the M.B.A. program is a basic course in<br />
statistics and college algebra. If students have<br />
not completed this work, they must do so early<br />
in their program prior to enrolling in M.B.A.<br />
II courses. College algebra may be waived if<br />
the student scores in the 50th percentile or<br />
higher on the quantitative section of the GMAT.<br />
If all M.B.A. I courses are waived, the student<br />
may enroll in M.B.A. II courses provided they<br />
are concurrently enrolled in courses to meet the<br />
math requirement.<br />
Computer Skills<br />
Computer literacy is an essential skill for<br />
success in the M.B.A. program and success in<br />
a professional business career. The minimum<br />
skills required are the ability to use a word<br />
processor, a spreadsheet, DOS, and Windows.<br />
Students are required to maintain an<br />
account on the ISU network.<br />
Communications Skills<br />
Good communication skills are fundamental for<br />
students and managers. Students are expected to<br />
have a high degree of proficiency in both oral and<br />
written communication skills. Students failing<br />
to demonstrate communications proficiency<br />
will be required to take remedial work.<br />
M.B.A. I (21 hours)<br />
M.B.A. I courses are the first year courses that<br />
form the foundation for advanced study.<br />

Waiver of M.B.A. I<br />
Requirements<br />
For students who have a recent degree, courses<br />
will be waived where equivalency of content<br />
with the ISU M.B.A. core can be established.<br />
Students with older business degrees may be<br />
required to take refresher courses or they may<br />
waive courses by demonstrating current competency<br />
by examination. Work experience is<br />
not a basis for waiving M.B.A. I coursework;<br />
however, students with substantial work experience<br />
may demonstrate competence in a<br />
particular field through examination.<br />

Exceptions to the requirement that all M.B.A.<br />
I courses be completed prior to enrolling in<br />
M.B.A. II courses may be made when most<br />
M.B.A. I courses have been taken and enforcement<br />
of this requirement would cause<br />
undue hardship for a student (i.e., a delay in<br />
his/her program). Exceptions will be granted<br />
only where it is reasonable to conclude that the<br />
student has sufficient background to perform<br />
satisfactorily in the M.B.A. II course.<br />
A request for an exception to the M.B.A. I<br />
prerequisite requirement must be made in writing<br />
to the M.B.A. Director. This request should<br />
document the M.B.A. I courses remaining to be<br />
taken in the student’s program, when those<br />
courses will be taken, and what hardships will<br />
be incurred if the exception is not granted.<br />
Electives (12 hours)<br />
Students will complete a minimum of twelve<br />
credit hours of graduate work as electives. At<br />
least six credit hours must be in courses<br />
reserved for graduate students only (600 level<br />
courses). Electives must be specified as part of<br />
the student’s program of study.<br />
Students may select as electives any courses<br />
offered by the College of Business at the 600-<br />
level with the exception of courses numbered<br />
between MBA 600 and MBA 626 inclusive.<br />
Elective courses outside the College of Business<br />
must be specifically approved by the<br />
M.B.A. Director. The electives may include<br />
MBA 650 Thesis (6 credit hours), or MBA<br />
639 Paper (3 credit hours).<br />
A maximum of two 500-level courses may be<br />
used as electives. Students may not take a 500-<br />
level course as an elective if a similar course<br />
has been taken at the undergraduate level.<br />
MGT 512 may not be used as an elective in the<br />
M.B.A. program.<br />
Accounting Emphasis<br />
(15 credits)<br />
Students choosing an emphasis in accounting<br />
must select 15 hours of electives from the following<br />
list. At least 12 hours must be accounting<br />
courses with the ACCT prefix, of which 9 hours<br />
must be in 600 level accounting courses restricted<br />
to graduate students. Appropriate undergraduate<br />
prerequisite courses are required. Courses at the<br />
500 level cannot be selected if a comparable<br />
undergraduate course has already been taken.<br />

Program of Study<br />
All M.B.A. students are required to meet with<br />
the M.B.A. Director prior to or during their<br />
initial term in the program in order to develop<br />
an approved program of study. Students will<br />
be blocked from registering their next term<br />
until this program of study is approved.<br />
Examination Requirements<br />
The M.B.A. program requires the satisfactory<br />
completion of an oral examination in the final<br />
term of the student’s program.<br />
Academic Requirements<br />
Any student who, after admission to the College<br />
of Business graduate program, falls below a 3.0<br />
GPA or receives two C grades or a grade of D<br />
or F in the M.B.A. program (M.B.A. I, M.B.A.<br />
II, and elective courses) is deemed to be doing<br />
unsatisfactory work and is subject to review by<br />
the College of Business M.B.A. Committee and<br />
to dismissal from the program. A student dismissed<br />
for academic reasons may apply for readmission<br />
to the M.B.A. program no earlier<br />
than four months following his/her dismissal.<br />
Requests for re-admission will be denied unless<br />
the student can demonstrate that the reasons for<br />
the previous unsatisfactory work have been<br />
rectified and he/she shows evidence of ability to<br />
perform satisfactorily in the M.B.A. program.<br />
Courses in which a grade of D or F has been<br />
earned will not be counted toward fulfillment<br />
of M.B.A. I or M.B.A. II program requirements.<br />
Students may not use more than two<br />
courses with a grade of C to satisfy graduation<br />
requirements.<br />
M.B.A. and Pharm D Joint<br />
Degree Program<br />
Students enrolled in the Pharm D Program at<br />
<strong>Idaho</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong> may combine that degree<br />
program with an M.B.A. degree with<br />
approximately one year of additional effort.<br />
The program follows the Pharm D program<br />
with the following changes and requirements:<br />
–In the two years in pre-pharmacy the student<br />
takes ECON 201 (Macro Economics), ECON<br />
202 (Micro Economics), ACCT 201 (Financial<br />
Accounting), and ACCT 202 (Managerial<br />
Accounting). ECON 202 and the accounting<br />
courses satisfy four hours of the 18 hours of<br />
electives required in the first two years.<br />
–Students are admitted to the M.B.A. program<br />
at the end of the second professional year.<br />
–During the third professional year and summer<br />
preceding that year the student takes MBA<br />
613 (Marketing), MBA 614 (Information<br />
Systems), MBA 615 (Finance), MBA 616<br />
(Manufacturing Competitiveness and Industrial<br />
Analysis). This satisfies four hours of<br />
electives specified in spring semester of the<br />
third professional year of the pharmacy program.<br />
MBA 612 (Human Behavior in Organizations)<br />
substitutes for PPRA 418 (Pharmacy<br />
Management).<br />
–In the fourth professional year the student<br />
takes six hours of clerkship to satisfy six<br />
elective hours in the M.B.A. program.<br />
–Following the fourth professional year the<br />
student would take the second year M.B.A.<br />
program including MBA 621, MBA 622,<br />
MBA 623, MBA 624, MBA 625, MBA 626,<br />
and six hours of 600-level electives in the<br />
College of Business.<br />
Award of the M.B.A. degree requires successful<br />
completion of the Pharm D degree or some other<br />
bachelor’s degree at <strong>Idaho</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong>.<br />
Admission<br />
Admission to the M.B.A. program will normally<br />
take place at the end of the second<br />
professional year. Pharm D students must<br />
meet the regular admission requirements of<br />
the M.B.A. program except they are required<br />
to only have completed the equivalent of an<br />
undergraduate degree at the time of admission.<br />
Applicants must request the School of<br />
Pharmacy to certify to the <strong>Graduate</strong> School<br />
that the student has completed 128 hours and<br />
that those 128 hours are equivalent to an<br />
undergraduate degree.<br />

in Educational Leadership. While research<br />
is an important component of the<br />
Doctor of Education program, candidates are<br />
provided primarily with courses and experiences<br />
to prepare them to function more effectively<br />
as leaders in education and related<br />

Program of Study<br />
An advisory committee consisting of <strong>Idaho</strong><br />
<strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong> graduate faculty from the<br />
College of Engineering and the Department of<br />
Physics will be established for each student<br />
upon entry into the program. The committee<br />
will guide the student in establishing his or her<br />
program of course work and laboratory study<br />
based upon the student’s background and<br />
research interest. The advisory committee has<br />
the responsibility of ensuring that the student<br />
has adequate knowledge to support research<br />
in his or her area of interest. At the end of the<br />
first year, the student will sit for a written,<br />
comprehensive qualifying examination over<br />
the didactic information within the scope of<br />
the research area. The student will be allowed<br />
only two attempts to pass this examination,<br />
and the second attempt must be within onehalf<br />
year after the first attempt. The student<br />
will be admitted to candidacy upon passing<br />
the comprehensive examination.<br />
A dissertation committee, chaired by the<br />
candidate’s major professor, will be appointed.<br />
Within six months, the candidate, with guidance<br />
from the major professor, will satisfactorily<br />
complete an oral presentation and defense<br />
of a proposal for dissertation research to the<br />
committee. The research and dissertation<br />
preparation must be done under the close<br />
supervision of the committee and must include<br />
at least one full year of work performed<br />
under <strong>Idaho</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong> graduate faculty.<br />
The committee must formally approve the<br />
research proposal at least one-half year before<br />
the dissertation is submitted for approval.<br />
Dissertation approval requires a public presentation<br />
of the dissertation and a satisfactory<br />
oral defense to the committee.<br />
Master of Science<br />
in Engineering<br />
The graduate program in the College of<br />
Engineering offers the student a choice of<br />
three majors for specialization at the master’s<br />
level together with a breadth of courses to fit<br />
individual educational goals. The majors are:<br />
1. Nuclear Science and Engineering<br />
2. Measurement and Control Engineering<br />
3. Environmental Engineering<br />
4. Engineering Structures and Mechanics<br />
There are 32 credit hours required for each<br />
major. Approximately half of the credits are<br />
engineering and technical electives, which<br />
should generally follow the guidelines specified<br />
in the College of Engineering <strong>Graduate</strong><br />
Studies Handbook, subject to the approval<br />
of the student’s advisory committee. The<br />
thesis project, required in each major, should<br />
consist of study and research that complements<br />
the coursework selected. Each student<br />
must also complete two semesters of seminar,<br />
an important component in developing<br />
research and communication skills.<br />
The student must meet all of the requirements<br />
of the <strong>Graduate</strong> School for the Master<br />
of Science degree. With the assistance of<br />
the graduate faculty of the College of Engineering,<br />
the student shall select an initial<br />
advisor during the first semester of residence<br />
to help in planning a program of<br />
studies and research. The student must also<br />
complete a Plan of Study and form a complete<br />
advisory committee by the time six<br />
credits of coursework have been completed.<br />
Nuclear Science and<br />

of Counseling are evaluated on an<br />
annual basis by all of the Department of<br />
Counseling graduate faculty members.<br />
Based on this evaluation, students who are<br />
not making satisfactory progress toward<br />
the completion of a degree may be removed<br />
from graduate study, provided with<br />
an alternate option for graduate study, or<br />
placed on departmental probationary status.<br />

does not guarantee graduation. Success<br />
in academic coursework is only one<br />
component of becoming a successful counseling<br />
student. The following nonacademic<br />
conditions may result in dismissal if they<br />
are observed to impair the student’s ability<br />
to work with others in class, practicum,<br />
or internship settings: (1) personal concerns<br />
or psychopathology, (2) interpersonal<br />
relationship issues, and (3) personal<br />
attitudes or value systems that conflict<br />
with effective counseling relationships.<br />
Doctoral Degree Retention and<br />
Dismissal Policy<br />
Department of Counseling faculty are confident<br />
that each student admitted has the potential<br />
to be successful in graduate study. To<br />
assure success, the student’s major professor<br />
plays an important role in giving feedback to<br />
the student.<br />
On occasion a faculty member may consult<br />
with other Department of Counseling faculty<br />
as to apparent impediments to progress of an<br />
individual student. If others have made similar<br />
observations, the major professor or other faculty<br />
will initiate a meeting with the student to<br />
discuss the perceived difficulty. Remedies and<br />
expected behavior changes will be discussed<br />
and outlined in verbal and/or written form.<br />
If after feedback, a student’s impediments to<br />
progress are not remedied, the faculty may<br />
recommend dismissal from the program.<br />

Master of Public<br />
Health (M.P.H.)<br />
Public health has as a basic goal to improve<br />
the health of populations through planning,<br />
implementing, and evaluating health promotion<br />
and disease prevention programs.<br />
Public health professionals design these intervention<br />
programs by using a combination<br />
of health education and related organizational,<br />
economic, legislative, and environmental<br />
supports to enhance the probability<br />
of creating a healthier populace.<br />
The Master of Public Health Program curriculum<br />
prepares individuals to carry out the<br />
following core public health functions as defined<br />
by the American Public Health Association:<br />
assess both the health needs and the<br />
resources available in a community, assist in<br />
health policy development that supports programs<br />
in prevention, and assure that necessary,<br />
high quality, effective services including<br />
education are available to every citizen.<br />
To meet this challenge, the M.P.H. degree at<br />
<strong>Idaho</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong> is designed to meet<br />
the needs of two types of students: 1) those<br />
practicing health professionals who desire to<br />
augment their previous preparation so they<br />
may better implement health promotion strategies<br />
in their current work setting or community,<br />
and 2) those professionals who wish to<br />
train for careers in one of the fields of community<br />
health education, public health administration,<br />
public health nutrition, or<br />
medical anthropology.<br />
Core courses focus on the acquisition of<br />
requisite public health knowledge and skills<br />
in the disciplines of epidemiology, biostatistics,<br />
health care ethics, health organization<br />
and policy, health program planning and<br />
evaluation, research methods, and environmental<br />
health. Elective options allow the<br />
student to focus additional coursework in<br />
her/his chosen area of interest.<br />
Admission<br />
For classified admission into the program,<br />
applicants must satisfy the following criteria:<br />
1. Meet all requirements of the <strong>Graduate</strong><br />
School.<br />
2. Submit all previous college transcripts<br />
and have an accumulative undergraduate<br />
grade point average of at least 3.0 in upper<br />
division courses. Applicants who currently<br />
hold a graduate degree must submit their<br />
transcripts, but the undergraduate GPA<br />
requirements will not apply.
104 ◆ <strong>Graduate</strong> Studies<br />
3. Score an average of at least the 40th percentile<br />
when considering both the quantitative<br />
and verbal sections of the GRE<br />
general test. Because of the mathematical<br />
nature of the degree, students who score<br />
lower than the 30th percentile on the quantitative<br />
section of the GRE must show<br />
evidence of having successfully completed<br />
(with a “C” or better) a college algebra<br />
course within the previous two years before<br />
being considered for admission (this<br />
requirement is not waiverable). Students<br />
who are admitted without GRE scores<br />
must take the general test the first time it<br />
is offered following their admission. Continuation<br />
in the program is contingent on<br />
the student meeting this requirement.<br />
4. Forward two letters of recommendation<br />
from individuals (nonrelatives) who are<br />
familiar with the applicant’s abilities.<br />
5. Have at least two years experience working<br />
in a health care field.<br />
Applicants currently holding degrees at the<br />
doctoral level from an accredited institution<br />
will not be required to submit GRE general<br />
test scores. Those holding degrees at the<br />
baccalaureate and masters level must submit<br />
GRE general test results to the Office of<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> Studies and Research.<br />
A waiver of ONE of the following may be<br />
granted with permission of the M.P.H. faculty,<br />
the Dean of the College of Health<br />
Professions, and the Dean of the <strong>Graduate</strong><br />
School: the 3.0 GPA requirement, the GRE<br />
average Score (the quantitative score/mathematical<br />
requirement is not waiverable), or<br />
the years of experience in a health-care field.<br />
New students will only be admitted in the fall<br />
semester, and admissions will be limited to<br />
fifteen per year. Applications will be reviewed<br />
beginning on February 15 of the<br />
spring prior to enrollment, and all persons<br />
will be notified of their status by May 1.<br />
Application materials can be obtained from<br />

Requirements:<br />
Regardless of the option area selected, students<br />
pursuing the M.P.H. degree must complete<br />
a minimum of 46 credits of coursework<br />
including either a thesis or a project and a onecredit<br />
internship in public health practice.<br />
Twenty-six of the credits will be taken from<br />
core courses; the other twenty credits are<br />
chosen from one of the option areas listed<br />
below. Students choosing a non-thesis<br />
(project) option must complete a comprehensive<br />
written examination at the conclusion of<br />
their coursework.<br />
Students choosing to pursue both an M.P.H.<br />
with an option area in medical anthropology<br />
and a masters degree in anthropology may<br />
utilize 12 credits from coursework in the<br />
medical anthropology option to satisfy requirements<br />
in the anthropology masters degree.<br />
However, a culminating project or thesis<br />
is required for successful completion of each<br />
degree program.<br />
Those students wishing to pursue an M.P.H.<br />
in nutrition must have met the requirements<br />
for a bachelor’s degree in nutrition as listed in<br />
the ISU undergraduate catalog. Individuals<br />
desiring to complete one of the other options<br />
will have their transcripts evaluated by the<br />
Departmental <strong>Graduate</strong> Admissions Committee<br />
at the time of application to determine if<br />
deficiencies exist in their undergraduate<br />
coursework. Any deficiency that is identified<br />
must be made up prior to beginning the M.P.H.<br />
program. Committee members will specify to<br />
the student courses that must be taken to<br />
rectify any deficiency.<br />
All students, regardless of option chosen,<br />
must maintain a satisfactory record of scholarship.<br />
To this end, three grades below a B<br />
will automatically disqualify a student from<br />
the program.<br />

The graduate entry level program in Occupational<br />
Therapy is a professional entry<br />
level program preparing students for licensure<br />
to practice as occupational therapists.<br />
The following information provides the<br />
specific requirements for applying to the<br />
ISU Occupational Therapy (OT) Program.<br />
The Occupational Therapy program has applied<br />
for accreditation by the Accreditation<br />
Council for Occupational Therapy Education<br />
(ACOTE) of the American Occupational<br />
Therapy Association (AOTA), located at 4720<br />
Montgomery Lane, P.O. Box 31220, Bethesda,<br />
MD 20824-1220. AOTA's phone number is<br />
(301) 652-AOTA. Once accreditation of the<br />
program has been obtained, its graduates will<br />
be able to sit for the national certification<br />
examination for the occupational therapist<br />
administered by the National Board for Certification<br />
in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT).<br />
After successful completion of this exam, the<br />
individual will be an Occupational Therapist,<br />
Registered (OTR). Most states require licensure<br />
in order to practice; however, state licenses<br />
are usually based on the results of the<br />
NBCOT Certification Examination.<br />
Requirements for Admission<br />
to the Master of Occupational<br />
Therapy Program<br />
1. Applicants must complete a bachelor’s degree<br />
from a college or university accredited<br />

The College of Pharmacy offers two graduate<br />
degrees: the Master of Science (M.S.) in<br />
Pharmacy and the Doctor of Philosophy<br />
(Ph.D.) in Pharmaceutical Sciences. The College<br />
also offers a professional doctorate degree,<br />
Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.). The<br />
Pharm.D. is described in the College of<br />
Pharmacy section of the <strong>University</strong> Bulletin.<br />

Doctor of<br />
Philosophy<br />
Programs of study leading to the Doctor of<br />
Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree are offered through<br />
the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences<br />
(emphasis areas of Pharmacology, Pharmacokinetics,<br />
Biopharmaceutics, and Biopharmaceutical<br />
Analysis) and through the Department<br />
of Pharmacy Practice and Administrative Sciences<br />
(emphasis in Pharmacy Administration).<br />
The Ph.D. degree is a research degree<br />
and will be conferred upon the completion and<br />
report of a substantial body of original work.<br />
Admission Requirements<br />
1. Professional degree in pharmacy or a baccalaureate<br />
degree in a related field with a<br />
GPA of not less than 3.0 for the final two<br />
years;<br />
2. Achieve at least the 50th percentile in two of<br />
the <strong>Graduate</strong> Record Examination aptitude<br />
section scores (Verbal, Quantitative or Analytical).<br />
Requirements may differ within the<br />
College of Pharmacy’s two Departments;<br />
check with the Department for specific<br />
requirements; and<br />
3. Three letters of recommendation.<br />
Students not meeting the minimum admission<br />
requirements for the Ph.D. program may reapply<br />
to continue on for the Ph.D. degree following<br />
successful completion of the M.S. in<br />
Pharmaceutical Sciences program.<br />
Each beginning graduate student will have a<br />
graduate advisor/program committee assigned<br />
from the graduate faculty upon entry into the<br />
program. The student’s advisor/graduate program<br />
committee will assist the student in<br />
preparing an appropriate program of study of<br />
course work. While there is no fixed credit<br />
requirement for the Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical<br />
Sciences, the overall program of study will<br />
include at least 72 semester hours of graduate<br />
course work. The student is expected to have<br />
selected a major advisor from the graduate<br />
faculty no later than the end of his/her third<br />
semester in residence.<br />
A grade below B is unsatisfactory and will<br />
not be counted toward fulfilling the minimum<br />
requirements for the degree. Upon<br />
recommendation of the student’s advisor/<br />
graduate program committee and with the<br />
approval of the Head of the <strong>Graduate</strong> Program,<br />
a student may be required to withdraw<br />
at any time for failure to maintain satisfactory<br />
progress toward the degree.<br />
When course work is essentially complete<br />
candidates for the Ph.D. degree complete a<br />
series of written and oral comprehensive examinations<br />
which may include the defense of<br />
a written research proposal. Upon completion<br />
of all proposed research, the student’s findings<br />
will be reported in the form of a dissertation<br />
to be prepared in accordance with<br />
Department and <strong>Graduate</strong> School guidelines.<br />
While the dissertation must be defended to the<br />
graduate faculty of the College, acceptability<br />
only requires the affirmative vote of a majority<br />
of the student’s committee members.<br />
