Applications and furtherdetails about admission criteria can be obtained from the Office ofAdmissions.Transfer AdmissionThe University at Buffalo reserves the right to determine its own policiesfor the admission of transfer students from other institutions, as well as theacceptance and placement of credit. A student who has completed at least12 credit hours of college-level work after receiving a high school diploma(or its equivalent) will be considered a transfer applicant. If 24 or morecredit hours have been completed at the time of application, the basis forconsideration will be the previous college academic record; if fewer than 24credits have been completed, a high school transcript and SAT/ACT scoresmust also be submitted.An official transcript from each college attended must be received beforea decision can be rendered. An official transcript is sent directly fromthe registrar’s office of the college to the University at Buffalo’s Office ofAdmissions. Transfer students who enroll at UB are required to submitproof of high school graduation. Acceptable proof includes: a final highschool transcript, a copy of the diploma, or a G.E.D. score report.Provisional admission is offered when courses are currently in progress.Final admission offers are made when official transcripts of all completedcourses have been evaluated.In order to receive consideration for transfer admission to the Universityat Buffalo, it is recommended that students present a strong recordof college study, earning a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.5on a 4.0 scale. It should be noted, however, that requirements may varydepending on the academic program. GPAs for transfer course work arecomputed in accordance with the grading policies in effect at the Universityat Buffalo.Admission to the university is granted on a space-available basis.Candidates are urged to submit applications and transcripts early in thesemester preceding their intended entry date. Some programs with limitedenrollments require supplemental application materials and have specificdeadlines. Students may wish to arrange an appointment with the academicdepartment in which they are interested. Department phone numbers arelisted in the Academic Programs of Study section.Undergraduate Catalog 2007-08 • University at Buffalo

University Transfer Credit PolicyThe University at Buffalo reserves the right to evaluate all credit-bearingcourses.All credit-bearing courses from accredited institutions of higherlearning are considered transferable to the University at Buffalo; thegrades earned in these courses are used in overall GPA calculations. Theterm “accredited,” as used here, refers to the following regional accreditationorganizations:• MSA/CHE, Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools/Commission of Higher Education• NEASC, New England Association of Schools and Colleges• NCA, North Central Association of Colleges and Schools• NASC, Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges• SASC-Comm. on Coll., Southern Association of Schools and Colleges-Commission on Colleges• WASC-Sr., Western Association of Schools and Colleges-AccreditingCommission for Senior Colleges• WASC-Jr., Western Association of Schools and Colleges-AccreditingCommission for Community and Junior CollegesCredit courses from institutions with other than regional accreditationare evaluated for transfer purposes on a case-by-case basis.Official Transcript EvaluationCourses transferred from another institution to UB will be transferred withfull semester credit value. Conversion of credits from trimester, quarterly,and other calendar systems will be completed based on nationally acceptedpractices. For example, trimester hours are generally equal to semesterhours and quarterly hours are generally equal to two-thirds semester hours.Transfer Course ArticulationTransfer course articulation at UB is a formal evaluation by academicfaculty comparing the content of courses offered at other campuses to UBcourses and requirements. UB transfer course articulation is available tothe public on the Web site TAURUS (Transfer Articulation and UniversityRequirements at UB System) at http://taurus.buffalo.edu. TAURUS alsodisplays transfer course articulation applied to the requirements for anyUB degree. Transferring and continuing students use TAURUS to selectsuitable courses in preparation for transfer to UB, for summer study and tocomplete degree requirements.Readmission of Former StudentsAll students in academic good standing who withdraw voluntarily areeligible to return. A Reentry Form must be filed with the Office of Admissionswell in advance of the intended reentry date.Students not in good standing—who have voluntarily withdrawn orwere dismissed for poor academic performance or whose GPA is less than2.0 (overall and at the University at Buffalo)—must file the Reentry Formand a petition for readmission. The Scholastic Standards Committee willreview the requests on the basis of data demonstrating that the studentsare able to progress satisfactorily toward the completion of their degreeprograms. Information about Second Chance, UB’s academic forgivenesspolicy, can be found in the Grading section of this catalog.Visiting Student ProgramStudents enrolled at other institutions may apply to study at UB as visitingstudents for up to one full year without formal transfer. With approvalfrom their home campus, students receive full credit for approved coursescompleted at UB. Information about applying and admission criteria maybe obtained from the Office of Admissions.University Degree RequirementsCatalog Rights StatementThe 2007–08 undergraduate catalog and the policies and procedures hereinare in effect for the fall 2007, spring 2008, and summer 2008 semesters.Although the information herein has been reviewed by numerous universityfaculty and staff members, the text may nevertheless contain errors.Calendars, academic and degree programs, policies, and fees are subjectto change at any time by official action of the University at Buffalo or theState University of New York. In addition, changes in policies, procedures,and administration may have occurred since the final publication deadlinefor this catalog and its printed version. Updates are regularly made in theonline version, with modifications and their effective dates noted in the“Catalog Updates” section. In case of discrepancies between the onlineand printed versions of the catalog, the online version is to be considereddefinitive. Students should contact individual undergraduate departmentsor campus offices for the most recent information.Upon nomination by the faculty and by vote of the Board of Trustees,degrees are conferred upon students who have met the requirements listedin this catalog.University RequirementsStudents continuously enrolled at UB or on an official Leave of Absencefrom UB are governed by the university requirements (e.g., general education)stated in the catalog in effect at the time of their initial matriculationin the university. For example, students who enter the university in fall 2007and are continuously enrolled through graduation must meet the baccalaureatedegree requirements as stated in this 2007-2008 catalog.Major Program RequirementsStudents continuously enrolled in a particular major degree program oron an official Leave of Absence from the program are governed by therequirements of that program as stated in the catalog in effect at the timeof their initial entrance into the program. For example, students who areaccepted into a major during the fall 2007 semester and are continuouslyenrolled through graduation must meet the requirements for the major asstated in this 2007-2008 catalog.Either the university or a program may find it necessary to updaterequirements for students who have been enrolled in the university or in aprogram for an extended period.Breaks in Student EnrollmentStudents who leave the university or a major degree program for one ormore semesters without an official Leave of Absence are governed by therequirements stated in the catalog in effect at the time of their most recentreadmission to the university or to the major program.Class StandingA student must complete a minimum of 30 credit hours to be classifiedas a sophomore, 60 credit hours to be classified as a junior, and 90 credithours to be classified as a senior. Grades of incomplete are not counted ascredits completed.Matriculation StatusTo be considered a candidate for a baccalaureate degree, a student musthave been formally admitted to the university in accordance with admissionstandards.Matriculated and Nonmatriculated StudentsA matriculated student is one who has applied and been officially acceptedto the university through an undergraduate admission process and is consideredto be pursuing a degree.A nonmatriculated student is one who is enrolled on a semester-bysemesteror course-by-course basis and has not been accepted as a regularstudent pursuing a degree.Minimum Number of Credit HoursCandidates for bachelor’s degrees must complete a minimum of 120 credithours, 30 of which must have been completed at the University at Buffalocampus. No more than 18 credits of tutorial coursework (including thatof TUT (tutorial) type and course numbers 495-499) and no more than8 credits of athletics activity coursework can count toward the creditsrequired for graduation with a bachelor’s degree.ACADEMIC POLICIES AND PROCEDURESUniversity at Buffalo • Undergraduate Catalog 2007-08

ACADEMIC POLICIES AND PROCEDURESAcademic Residency RequirementsA student must complete a minimum of 30 undergraduate credit hours(the equivalent of one full year of study) at the University at Buffalo inorder to earn a degree from the university. The minimum residency requirementfor the combined undergraduate and graduate degree is 42 credithours, of which 18 must be undergraduate and 24 must be graduate.The following forms of credit may not be used to fulfill the residencyrequirement: transfer work; proficiency exams; Advanced Placement; militarytraining; study abroad; cross-registration; international baccalaureatecredit; and experiential learning.Note: Individual schools and departments might have additional residency requirementsas part of their transfer policies.Minimum Academic AverageStudents must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0, both overall andat the University at Buffalo. As specified in this catalog, tutorial and athleticactivity courses beyond the maximum allowed will not be included in thecomputation of the UB or overall average. Attempted coursework at UBand all transfer credit will be included in the computation of the overallaverage. In computing a student’s average for work completed at anotheraccredited institution, GPAs will be computed in accordance with theUniversity at Buffalo’s grading policies (e.g., all attempted hours, including“F”s, will be used to determine the GPA).Students cannot graduate with an Incomplete “I” grade on their record(see “Incomplete Grades” section).Major RequirementsTo qualify for an undergraduate degree, matriculated students must beenrolled in a degree program and satisfactorily complete the requirementsof their fields of study, as well as those of the university. This includes allmajor requirements and general education requirements. See the AcademicPrograms section for major acceptance criteria and program requirementsand the General Education Requirements chart for a description of generaleducation requirements.Additional special degree options are available as listed below. Thesedegree options require great care in planning early in an academic career inorder to meet the full requirements. Advisement is available for such planning;however, it is the student’s responsibility to ensure that all requirementsof a planned program have been completed.Double MajorsA double major is the awarding of one degree with two majors (e.g., thestudent completing a double major of psychology and social sciencesinterdisciplinary studies earns one BA degree). Students must be acceptedinto each major and fulfill all requirements of each major in addition tosatisfying all university requirements. This may be completed within theusual 120-credit minimum. Double majors must be between departmentsleading to the same degree. For example, a student may not have a doublemajor between engineering (BS) and psychology (BA). Following conferralof the degree, the student’s transcript will note one baccalaureate degreewith two majors.Joint MajorsA student may elect to work toward a joint major by combining thesubjects of two departments (e.g., geography and economics, physics andmathematics). A joint major does not require completion of all of therequirements of each major; rather, it is composed of requirements fromeach major as determined by the student and the directors of undergraduatestudies in each department. Joint majors must be between programsleading to the same degree. For example, a student may not have a jointmajor between engineering (BS) and psychology (BA). Students wishing topursue a joint major between programs leading to different degrees shouldconsider pursuing a Special Major (see the “Special Major” program listingin this catalog).Although a few academic departments, such as economics, geography,mathematics, and physics, have firmly established optional joint majorswith other departments, students are normally free to choose their ownjoint majors. The Social Sciences Interdisciplinary Degree Program doesnot permit a joint major but uses a double major instead.The director of undergraduate studies of each department concernedwill assist in planning a joint major. In arranging the program, the studentmust obtain approval from the two departments involved. In special cases,a student may arrange a program cutting across several departments, sothat the program involves more than one faculty or school.MinorsA minor is a secondary field of study that is typically composed of sixcourses. The minor offers students a means to complement the major,explore a subspecialty, and/or broaden career alternatives. Minors are availablein many subject areas but may not be taken within the student’s majors(see Approved Minors chart). Consult the Academic Programs section forindividual minor requirements. Students can receive a bachelor’s degreeif they are enrolled in a major program and a minor program, but cannotreceive a bachelor’s degree if they are enrolled in a minor program and notenrolled in a major program.Double DegreesThe double degree is the concurrent awarding of two different baccalaureatedegree types (BA, BS, BFA, MusB). If a student completes two majorswithin one degree type, s/he will be awarded a double major (one degreewith two majors), not two degrees, regardless of how many credits s/heearns.Students pursuing two majors in two different degree types are expectedto have the full range of skills, competencies, and experience as studentsgraduating from each of the programs individually. Thus, students mustmeet all requirements for each major. In no circumstance may the courseworkin the second degree be fewer than 30 credit hours. For a doubledegree, the following four criteria must be met:For double degrees, four criteria must be met:•••Degree types must be different (BA, BS, MusB, BFA);No more than two 300- and 400-level courses taken as requirementsfor one major in one degree can also be counted as part of therequired courses for the other major in the other degree, includingrequired elective credits.A minimum of 30 credits accrued beyond the full requirements ofthe degree with the larger number of required undergraduate creditsor 150 credits total, whichever is greater; andAll requirements for both programs are fully completed.•Students wishing to pursue two degrees should do careful planning earlyin their academic career with the guidance of both programs to assure thatthe plan of study meets the criteria noted here.Subsequent DegreesSome students decide to return to their studies after they have receivedtheir first undergraduate degree. Once a degree is conferred, the coursesand credits from that degree cannot be used in subsequent degrees, andstudents may not return to add a minor or concentration to the conferreddegree. In order to receive a subsequent degree, the student who haspreviously earned a baccalaureate degree from UB or an accredited U.S.institution must be accepted to UB as a matriculated student and be acceptedinto the new major. Students pursuing a second bachelor’s degreemust have the full range of skills, competencies, and experience in themajor as students who complete the requirements for the regular degreeprogram. Thus, students must meet all requirements for the major. In nocircumstance may the coursework in the second degree program be fewerthan 30 credit hours after the conferral of the first degree. The two degreesmust be in significantly different fields of study; therefore, 300- and 400-level coursework completed for the first bachelor’s degree will not counttoward completing the major requirements of the second degree. In therare circumstance when a single course taken for the first degree programis a required course in the second degree program, a course substitutionin the second degree may be approved by petition from the undergraduateprogram director of the new program.10 Undergraduate Catalog 2007-08 • University at Buffalo

Combined DegreesThis degree option results in the awarding of a single combined degreethat joins specific programs or disciplines from two degree levels (e.g.,BA/MA, BS/MBA). Combined degree programs offer UB students theopportunity to pursue their educational objectives at an accelerated paceby compressing the courses normally taken at the end of the undergraduatedegree with those customarily taken at the beginning of a graduatedegree. These programs are designed for students who have demonstratedexceptional promise.In certain circumstances, the combined degree will not qualify thestudent for licensure if licensure is based upon the complete undergraduatecurriculum. Students in professional programs should discuss licensurerequirements with their advisors if they are considering the combineddegree option.Combined degrees have a two-tier tuition structure. Over the course ofa combined degree program, the student will be charged the tuition thatcorresponds to the appropriate divisional rate. For example, if a student inthe combined BA/MBA program in management were required to completethree years of undergraduate coursework and two years of graduatecoursework, the student would be classified as an undergraduate and billedat the undergraduate rate for the equivalent of three years. At the conclusionof this period, the student’s division would change to graduate, andthe student would be classified and billed accordingly.Students choosing to leave the combined degree program and pursueseparate undergraduate and graduate degrees will have their billing alteredin the following manner. Students who are in the undergraduate portion ofthe program when they choose to leave the combined degree program willcontinue with their undergraduate coursework and be billed accordingly;however, these students will not be permitted to take graduate coursesuntil they complete their baccalaureate degree and are admitted formallyto a graduate program through the normal process. Students pursuingthe graduate portion of the combined degree program when they chooseto leave the combined degree program will continue to be charged at thegraduate level even for those courses taken at the undergraduate level afterthis point in time.The minimum residency requirement for a combined degree is 42 credithours at UB.For a listing of Combined Degree Programs, see the Degree ProgramSummary chart on pages 30-31.UB DARSDARS (Degree Audit Reporting System) is an advising tool that tracksprogress toward graduation by showing how courses taken meet graduationrequirements for all approved undergraduate programs. In individualizedreports, DARS summarizes all General Education and program requirements,indicating those that have been satisfied; computes the cumulativeGPA; totals all credit hours taken; lists repeated courses and those takenS/U; notes Incomplete courses; indicates test scores and credits granted forAP and CLEP examinations; and lists all transfer and UB courses taken.DARS is useful in the following respects:•••As an advising tool: to determine progress toward completing alldegree requirements;Applying to a department: DARS reports can be included in thedepartment application process.Analysis of transfer credits: to verify that all transfer credits havebeen recorded and applied to degree requirements.DARS reports are available for all matriculated undergraduate studentsin MyUB and can be generated for the current approved major orany other program when considering alternative majors. Students shouldexamine their DARS reports carefully and speak to an advisor if there arequestions or discrepancies in the report.Early Assurance ProgramsSchool of MedicineEach year, well-qualified undergraduates may receive formal acceptanceto the medical school in the second semester of their sophomore year. Toqualify, students must possess a minimum approximate overall and scienceGPA of 3.75 and complete particular science courses. An SAT score of1400 or above is required. Upon receipt of the baccalaureate degree, themedical phase begins. This is not an accelerated program. The preprofessionalhealth advisor can provide further information.School of Dental MedicineEach year, well-qualified undergraduates may receive formal acceptanceto UB’s School of Dental Medicine after the second semester of theirsophomore year. To qualify, students must possess a minimum overall andscience GPA of 3.5 and complete specific science courses. Upon receipt ofthe baccalaureate degree, the dental phase begins. This is not an acceleratedprogram. The preprofessional health advisor can provide furtherinformation.School of PharmacyAny student who enters the University at Buffalo directly from high schoolas an intended-pharmacy major is eligible for Early Assurance consideration.This is not an accelerated program. Please refer to the sheet publishedfor the year in which the student enters for specific details regardingthe requirements for Early Assurance. Students are strongly encouraged tomeet with the pre-pharmacy advisor and subscribe to the Pre-PharmacyListserv. The Pre-Pharmacy Advisor, Early Assurance sheets and Pre-PharmacyListserv information are available in 112 Cooke Hall.General Education RequirementsGeneral education requirements can be found at the General EducationProgram Web site at http://gened.buffalo.edu.Requirements differ by student status. Please note that there are differentrequirements for: (1) students who entered as freshmen; (2) studentswho entered as transfer students; (3) re-entering students who wererecently enrolled at UB; (4) re-entering students last enrolled more than fiveyears ago; (5) students enrolled for a second bachelor’s degree; (6) studentsenrolled who have a completed bachelor’s degree from a foreign institution;and (7) students with a registered learning disability.General Education Advising NotesS/U grading is not an option in any course used to satisfy GeneralEducation requirements. Internship, Independent Study, UndergraduateTeaching, Experiential Learning, and other courses not basedon classroom experiences may not be used to meet general educationrequirements.Any course may be applied toward only one General Educationrequirement.UB courses other than those specifically listed as requirements ortransfer courses that do not articulate to the UB courses listed asrequirements cannot be used to fulfill General Educationrequirements.The UB/SUNY General Education courses must meet the minimumguidelines listed in the chart below for the assigned course category,which were established by the Office of the Provost of the StateUniversity of New York in 2000. Student performance in courses isperiodically reviewed to insure that the goals of the General EducationProgram are achieved.ACADEMIC POLICIES AND PROCEDURESUniversity at Buffalo • Undergraduate Catalog 2007-08 11

Students who exceedthe leave of absence period are required to re-enter UB via the Office ofAdmissions re-entry process.Students must have at least 2.0 UB GPA to be eligible for a leave of absence.Those students who leave UB without having completed at least onesemester (student with no UB GPA) are ineligible for a Leave of Absenceand will have to file a re-entry form with the Office of Admissions in orderto be re-admitted to the university.Students convicted of felonies while enrolled at UB are not eligible for aleave of absence.Students attending other colleges or universities during the approvedleave of absence period are required to submit official transcripts of academicwork from those institutions. Such transcripts must be submitted tothe Office of Admissions in a timely manner during the returning semester.College credits earned at other institutions during the leave period willbe evaluated as transfer credit. These credits may satisfy major and/oruniversity requirements. For assistance in course selection and subsequentarticulation with UB coursework, students should contact an advisor andTAURUS, UB’s course articulation system.Students who are leaving the university to complete their last semesterat another school and would like to graduate from UB do not need to filea Leave of Absence form, however, they must file an “Application forDegree” before the appropriate deadline date.Leaves of absence are not approved retroactively. Students who leavethe university without an approved Leave of Absence will need to fill out aRe-entry Form with the Office of Admissions. Upon re-admittance, thesestudents will be obligated to follow new academic policies, degree anduniversity requirements, and re-apply to their academic majors.Cross-RegistrationCross-registration permits full-time UB students to register at variouscolleges and universities as part of the Western New York Consortiumwithout formal application or additional tuition charges. Grades for coursestaken through the consortium agreement are automatically forwarded toUB and applied to the student’s permanent academic record. Only full-timestudents registered for at least 12 credit hours at UB are eligible to take anadditional course(s) at a participating institution.Procedures for cross-registration can be found on the Student Academic Records andFinancial Services Web site at http://src.buffalo.edu.Registration in Graduate Courses forUndergraduate CreditAll undergraduate students who wish to take graduate courses for undergraduatecredit should contact the academic department directly forapproval procedures.Permission to take graduate courses for undergraduate credit must beobtained by the end of the drop/add period of the respective semester orsummer session. After the course is graded, the credit level will be changedfrom graduate to undergraduate.Eligibility Criteria:• Junior or senior standing and acceptance into an academic major orapproved special major;• A minimum GPA of 3.0 overall, including transfer credit andcompletion of prerequisites required for the graduate course; and• Written recommendation from the course instructor that clearlystates the academic necessity and rationale for taking the course, andthe endorsement of the department chair.Note: Undergraduates who register in graduate courses without having obtained priorpermission cannot receive undergraduate credit for such courses.Registration in Graduate Courses for Graduate CreditUndergraduate students are eligible to take graduate courses for graduatecredit (with permission from the academic department) if they meetthe following criteria: junior or senior standing; acceptance into a majorprogram; and a minimum GPA of 3.0.Undergraduate students may take no more than two graduate courses(not to exceed a total of 8 credit hours during their undergraduate career).These courses may not be applied to the minimum of 120 credit hours requiredfor the bachelor’s degree; however, they may later be applied towarda post baccalaureate degree program at UB. This 8-credit-hour limit doesnot apply to students currently enrolled in an SED-registered combineddegree program.Course Cancellation NoticeThe University at Buffalo reserves the right to cancel any course or sectionin which the number of students enrolled is deemed insufficient or forwhich an instructor cannot be secured. All tuition and fees paid for such acourse will be refunded. The right to set maximum limits on the numberof students allowed to enroll in any particular course or section is alsoreserved.Foreign Language PlacementCorrect placement in foreign language courses is an important considerationfor UB students and for teachers of foreign languages.Students who have successfully completed three years or more oflanguage study in high school (or the equivalent) or have passed a Regentscomprehensive exam should not take a beginner-level course in that language(normally numbered 101 or 191).Intensive review courses numbered 104 in Spanish, French and Germanare intended for students who wish to relearn the basics rather than moveimmediately into an intermediate-level language course, numbered 151/152or 193/194. Courses with the 104 designation satisfy the General Educationlanguage requirement. Students capable of entering intermediate orhigher level classes straight from high school should be encouraged to doso, and to consider this training as an important step toward study abroadand internationalization of their studies.For other languages, students who have passed a Regents exam maybegin their language study at UB with a second-semester course (numbered102 or 192) but should consult with advisors and instructors to determineproper placement. Please note: Students may not receive credit for either101/191 or 102/192 courses if they receive credit for a 104 course in thesame language.Students fluent in a language other than English or whose primary/secondaryeducation was conducted in a language other than English shouldnot take first- or second-year courses in that language.If questions remain, students are urged to confer with their academicadvisors.Course ExpectationsAcademic IntegrityPreambleAcademic integrity is a fundamental university value. Through the honestcompletion of academic work, students sustain the integrity of the universitywhile facilitating the university’s imperative for the transmission ofknowledge and culture based upon the generation of new and innovativeideas.When an instance of suspected or alleged academic dishonesty by astudent arises, it shall be resolved according to the following procedures.These procedures assume that many questions of academic dishonesty willbe resolved through consultative resolution between the student and theinstructor.It is recommended that the instructor and student each consult with thedepartment chair, school or college dean, or the Office of the Vice Provostof Undergraduate Education if there are any questions regarding theseprocedures.14 Undergraduate Catalog 2007-08 • University at Buffalo

ACADEMIC POLICIES AND PROCEDURESClass AttendanceSince the university desires to promote student responsibility, there is nogeneral rule concerning student class attendance; however, every classinstructor shall provide to students a course syllabus during the first weekof class that specifies attendance policies and dates and times for classes,exams and all other required activities. Classes are to meet at the timeand at the location listed in the official university course schedule, unlesschanged with the consent of the entire class. Instructors may take accountof unexcused absences in determining course grades.Students may be justifiably absent from classes due to religious observances,illness documented by a physician or other appropriate health careprofessional, conflicts with University sanctioned activities documented byan appropriate University administrator, public emergencies, and documentedpersonal or family emergencies. The student is responsible fornotifying the instructor in writing with as much advance notice as possible.Instructors may determine a reasonable amount of coursework that shouldbe completed in order to makeup the student’s absence. Students are responsiblefor the prompt completion of any alternative assignments.In the event that a student absence situation cannot be resolved betweenthe student and the class instructor, or either party is aggrieved by the process,appeal shall proceed sequentially to the department chair, unit dean,and finally the Vice Provost of Undergraduate Education.For information regarding Procedures for Military Call-Up During theSemester, please refer to the Student Academic Records and FinancialServices Center Web site.Attendance on Religious Holy DaysOn those religious holy days when members of a faith observe the expectationof church or synagogue that they be absent from school or work,individual students will be excused from class without penalty if expresslyrequested. If such a requested absence results in a student’s inability tofulfill the academic requirement of a course scheduled on that particularday, the instructor should provide an opportunity for the student to makeup the requirement without penalty.If classes, examinations, study, or work requirements are held onFriday after 4:00 p.m., or anytime on Saturday, similar or make up classes,examinations, study, or work requirements shall be made available on otherdays whenever it is possible and practicable to do so. Students shall notbe charged any fees or experience any adverse or prejudicial effects due toabsence from coursework due to religious observance.In the event that a student absence situation cannot be resolved betweenthe student and the class instructor, or either party is aggrieved by the process,appeal shall proceed sequentially to the department chair, unit dean,and finally the Vice Provost of Undergraduate Education.Reading DaysThe university calendar formally indicates the last day of classes. Facultymay not schedule classes after the last official day of classes.University sanctioned Reading Days are incorporated into the universitycalendar in an effort to provide our students with additional examinationpreparation time before the commencement of final examination week.Faculty who wish to conduct study sessions on Reading Days may doso if, and only if, these study sessions are offered on a voluntary basis, noattendance is taken, and no new information is introduced.Final examinations shall be offered as officially scheduled, and not duringuniversity-sanctioned Reading Days.Obstruction or Disruption in the ClassroomConsequences for Students Engaged in DisruptiveClassroom BehaviorThe university recognizes that faculty members are responsible for effectivemanagement of the classroom environment to promote conditionsthat will enhance student learning. Accordingly, instructors should setreasonable rules for classroom behavior and must articulate these rules, inwriting, in materials provided to the students at the start of the semester.Fortunately, student obstructions or disruptions in UB classrooms are rareand seldom lead to disciplinary actions. The term “classroom disruption”means behavior that a reasonable person would view as substantially or18 Undergraduate Catalog 2007-08 • University at Buffalorepeatedly interfering with the conduct of a class. Examples could includepersistently speaking without being recognized, continuing with conversationsdistracting the class or, in extreme cases, resorting to physical threatsor personal insults.Lawful, civil expression of disagreement with the instructor or otherstudents is not in itself “disruptive behavior” and is not proscribed underthese or any other regulations. However, when student conduct interfereswith or prevents the conduct of classes or other university functions orwhen the safety of members of the campus community is endangered bythreats of disruption, violence, or violent acts, the administration has approvedthe following course of actions:• If a student is disruptive, he/she should be asked to stop and warnedthat continuing such disruptive behavior can result in academic ordisciplinary action. Many students may be unaware that their behavioris disruptive; therefore, a private conversation with the student is ofteneffective and preferable as an initial step.• Should the disruptive behavior continue, the faculty member is authorizedto ask the student to leave the classroom or site.• A student may be dismissed from the course for the remainder of thesemester, subject to Student Conduct Regulations and due processproceedings, as appropriate.• If a student refuses to leave the area after being instructed to do so,the student should be informed that this refusal is a separate violationsubject to additional penalties.• If, in the instructor’s best judgment, the behavior creates a safety risk ormakes it impossible to continue class or function, the instructor shouldcontact Public Safety to assist in removal of the student and/or maydismiss class for that day.Behavioral Expectations in the ClassroomTo prevent and respond to distracting behavior, faculty should clarifystandards for the conduct of class, either in the syllabus, or by referencingthe expectations cited in the Student Conduct Regulations. Classroom“etiquette” expectations should include:•••••••••Attending classes and paying attention. Students should not ask aninstructor in class to go over material they missed by skipping a class ornot concentrating.Not coming to class late or leaving early. If a student has to enter a classlate, he or she should do so quietly and should not disrupt the class bywalking between the class and the instructor. Students should not leaveclass unless it is an absolute necessity.Not talking with other classmates while the instructor or anotherstudent is speaking. If a student has a question or comment, he or sheshould raise a hand, rather than starting a conversation about it with aneighbor.Showing respect and concern for others by not monopolizing classdiscussion. Students must allow others time to give their input and askquestions. Students should not stray from the topic of class discussion.Not eating and drinking during class time.Turning off electronic devices including cell phones, pagers, and beeperwatches.Avoiding audible and visible signs of restlessness. These are both rudeand disruptive to the rest of the class.Focusing on class material during class time. Sleeping, talking to others,doing work for another class, reading the newspaper, checking e-mail,and exploring the Internet are unacceptable and can be disruptive.Not packing bookbags or backpacks to leave until the instructor hasdismissed class.Course SyllabiThe course syllabus serves as a contract between the student and professorregarding course expectations and policies. The course syllabus shouldclearly communicate what the instructor expects of students and whatstudents can expect from the instructor.A course syllabus must be finalized and distributed to the class duringthe first week of classes.All course syllabi should include, but are not limited to, the followingcomponents:

••••••••Course Description. Statement of general course goals and the academictopics and content covered in the course.Learning Outcomes. Specific student-focused statements that specifywhat the student should be able to do at the completion of the course.Course Requirements. The number of papers, tests, and any otherrequirements, such as homework, attendance, class participation, laboratoryassignments, and clinical performance, that will count toward thefinal grade. Deadlines for assignments should also be specified.Academic Content. What the student will be held accountable for,including required readings, lectures, films, field trips, etc.Grading Policy. How results from various requirements will be combinedinto a final grade: relative weightings, make-up policy for tests,etc. Grading Policies should also include:••Specification of the level of work must be completed in orderto obtain specific letter grades (A-F) or a passing grade if thecourse is graded on a Pass/Fail basis; andReference to the University undergraduate Incomplete Policy(within this catalog) and any additional instructor requirementsand comments regarding the use of Incomplete grades.Office Hours. Specification of when and where the instructor is availablefor consultation each week.Academic Integrity. Reference to the University Undergraduate AcademicIntegrity policy (within this catalog) and any additional instructorrequirements and comments regarding academic dishonesty.Disability Services. Information about the University’s DisabilityServices Office and the requirement to register with that office in orderto receive accommodation for physical and learning disabilities.During the semester, instructors are expected to conform to theircourse syllabi, except as unanticipated circumstances require deviation.In such situations, instructors should inform all students and provide anopportunity for discussion with students prior to making a final decisionregarding changes in the course syllabus.In addition, instructors are expected to recognize the following policiesas appropriate in class situations:•••Criteria for the grading of papers should be made explicit before thepaper is due; and the formats for examinations should be made explicitprior to their administration.All corrected papers and examinations should be available for review bystudents. If a student believes that an error in grading has been made,he or she should be able to consult with the instructor and receive anexplanation.Classes are to meet at the time and in the location listed in the officialUB course schedule, unless changed with the consent of the entireclass.Special Course OpportunitiesThe University at Buffalo recognizes the importance of opportunities forstudents to integrate the material that they have learned during their timeat UB and to participate in faculty research and other practical experiences.A distinctive aspect of undergraduate education at UB is the opportunityfor students to work closely with faculty who are actively engaged inresearch and scholarship. Significant opportunities for participation in UB’slocal and regional public service mission are available through fieldwork,practica, internships, and related learning activities. As such, the followingcourse numbers are reserved for special opportunities.Many of these opportunities are considered to be tutorial coursework,conducted individually with a faculty member. The integrity of the degreesgranted by UB requires that a substantial portion of the 120 credits ofcoursework required for these degrees be completed in lecture, seminar,and/or laboratory courses which have been reviewed and approved by appropriatefaculty committees; therefore, no more than 18 credits of tutorialcoursework can count toward the credits required for graduation with abachelor’s degree.494 Senior Capstone CoursesThese courses provide an opportunity for students to integrate knowledgefrom lower-level courses. Frequently, they are taught in seminar format,with students working closely with faculty members and other students intheir department to apply knowledge that was learned in the classroom topractical, real-world situations. Topics may vary, and usually center aroundfaculty and student interests.495 Undergraduate Supervised TeachingThe university recognizes the value of using Undergraduate Teaching Assistants(UTAs), both as a learning experience for those who are teachingand in bringing their unique perspectives and approaches to the classroom.However, it is important that the following guidelines be followed to ensurequality teaching and learning experiences.In order to serve as an Undergraduate Teaching Assistant, studentsmust meet the following minimum requirements:•••••Must have at least junior status (at least 60 credit hours completed);Must have an overall GPA of 3.0 or higher; andMust have received a grade of A- or better in the course in which theyare to assist or in a course taken elsewhere that is equivalent.UTA responsibilities:UTAs shall not regularly conduct scheduled class meetings, lecturesor seminars. If the UTA is expected to make a presentation in a lab orrecitation, the material shall be prepared or reviewed by the instructor.UTAs shall not assign final grades. If the UTA is expected to gradequizzes or exams, an explicit, annotated key shall be provided by theinstructor, who will also supervise the UTA’s grading. In all othermatters where the UTA exercises judgment, that work shall be closelysupervised by the instructor on a weekly basis.Each course must be approved for UTA use prior to UTA’s beingappointed.496 InternshipsA number of departments offer hands-on experience in the field as part oftheir course offerings or degree requirements. Many of these experiencesare described in the Academic Programs section of this catalog. Participationin these experiences is governed by policies placed by the offeringdepartment.497 Departmental HonorsEach department has the prerogative of awarding the designations “withhighest distinction,” “with high distinction,” and “with distinction” tostudents who achieve a certain level of academic excellence and creativity.Criteria vary from department to department. Enrollment in a departmentalhonors program may be a prerequisite. Students should consult withtheir departmental advisor regarding the awarding of departmental honors.Departmental Honors programs must include a minimum GPA requirementand a senior thesis or project. Students completing the thesis orproject component of the program should register for that department’s497 course.498 Undergraduate ResearchStudents collaborate with faculty mentors on an ongoing faculty researchor creative activity project, or conduct independent research under theguidance of a faculty member. This experience provides students with aninquiry-based learning opportunity and engages them as active learners ina research or creative activity setting. Either the student’s own project orthe faculty member’s project to which the student is contributing shouldutilize the methods for creating new knowledge that are recognized in thefield and should result in a unique contribution to the field of knowledge.For more information about Undergraduate Research at UB, see the Centerfor Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity Web site (http://curca.buffalo.edu).499 Independent StudyStudents have the option of independent study, which is individualizedstudent work under the guidance of a faculty member and is intended topursue topics that aren’t currently offered through regular coursework atUB. In some cases, independent study may be the focal point in the designof an individual program. In others, it may merely add desired depth orbreadth to a student’s formal degree program. To enroll in independentstudy, students must identify a member of the faculty or appropriate professionalstaff member willing to sponsor their work and gain approval ofthe appropriate department.University at Buffalo • Undergraduate Catalog 2007-08 19ACADEMIC POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

Student Academic Processing Services will convert theletter grade to S/U for those students who have opted for S/U grading atthe end of the semester. Students may recover the letter grade earned ina course graded S/U if (a) that course is required for, or is a prerequisitefor, a major(s) to which they have changed; or (b) they can document thata graduate or professional school to which they have applied demands theletter grade earned. (Once recovered, the grade can not be reverted back toS/U grading).The letter grades equivalent to “U” (unsatisfactory) are “D+,” “D,” and“F”. Students who have opted for S/U grading and earn a “D+” or “D”may petition their advisor to recover the letter grade if they wish to use thecourse toward degree requirements.For S/U Grading Procedures, see the Student Academic Records and Financial ServicesWeb site at http://src.buffalo.edu/pdf/s-u-grade.pdf.Pass/Fail GradingPass/Fail is an instructor-designated option for courses that do not lendthemselves to traditional letter grades. The grade of “F” (failure) will beincluded in the GPA.Incomplete GradesAn interim grade of incomplete (“I”) may be assigned if students havenot completed all requirements for the course. The “I” should be accompaniedby a default grade that shall become the permanent grade ofrecord if the “I” grade is not changed formally by the instructor upon thestudents’ completion of the coursework. Interim “I” grades are given at thediscretion of the instructor and is assigned only in cases when successfulcompletion of unfulfilled course requirements can result in a grade betterthan the default grade; students should have a passing average in courseworkcompleted at the time the “I” grade is assigned. The default gradethat accompanies the “I” grade shall be any one of: “B”, “C”, “D”, or “F”.Neither “A”, “P”, nor “S” shall be assigned as the default grade. Studentswho have been assigned an “I” grade that had selected the S/U gradingoption at the beginning of the semester will receive a default letter if the“I” grade defaults.The default grade will become the grade of record if the “I” is notreplaced within twelve months after the close of the semester (see blow).The instructor may set an earlier deadline for course completion upon writtennotification to the student. Students must not re-register for coursesfor which they have received an “I” grade. “I” grades must be changed toa permanent grade before the degree conferral date if the student plans tograduate in that semester.The Incomplete Grade policy is not retroactive and does not apply totransfer credit.Applicable dates regarding the twelve-month provision:Courses taken in (semester): Will default in 12 months on:Fall ...............................................................................................December 31Spring .....................................................................................................May 31Summer..............................................................................................August 31The “I” must be changed to a grade before the degree conferral date ifthe student plans to graduate in that semester.A default grade can be “B,” “C,” “D,” or “F.” (If a student selected anS/U grading option, it will replace the default letter grade when the gradedefaults.)“J” GradesA “J” grade indicates a reporting error. Generally, reporting errors arecorrected prior to the start of the next semester, however, a “J” may occasionallyremain on the student’s record. The student should immediatelycontact the instructor and/or department to correct the error; withoutcorrection, “J” grades automatically default to “F” grades at the end of thefollowing semester.“N” AuditStudents may audit a class only by permission of the instructor by utilizingthe Audit Form for Undergraduates (available at: http://src.buffalo.edu/forms/additionalstudentforms.shtml). Completed forms must be submittedto Student Academic Processing Services by the end of the secondweek of classes. Student Academic Processing Services will automaticallyrecord the audit grade on the transcript.Instructors may terminate a student’s audit status by forwarding a letterto Student Academic Processing Services and communicating to the studentthe grounds for termination. If a student’s audit status is terminatedby the instructor, the “N” will be changed to “R” and the student will benotified of the change. Students may not repeat for credit courses in whichthey have received an “N” grade.Changes of GradeInstructors can change a grade by utilizing a Change of Grade Form signedby the instructor and the department chair. Reasons for the change ofgrade must be fully explained and justified.Definitions of Grading TermsGrade Point Average (GPA)The GPA is the ratio of the number of grade points earned to the numberof graded credits. The GPA at UB is the ratio of the number of gradepoints earned at UB to the number of graded credits at UB. Only lettergrades of “A,” “A-,” “B+,” “B,” “B-,” “C+,” “C,” “C-,” “D+,” “D,” and“F” are utilized in determining GPA. GPA is also referred to as QPA (qualitypoint average).20 Undergraduate Catalog 2007-08 • University at Buffalo

Overall GPAThe overall GPA is the ratio of the number of grade points earned atall institutions (UB and transfer) to the number of graded credits at allinstitutions. The student’s DARS report includes the overall average. DARSreports can be accessed via MyUB at http://myub.buffalo.edu.Grade Points EarnedThe number of grade points earned is the sum of the products of thecredit hours associated with courses taken and the numerical equivalents ofthe grades earned for those courses.Graded CreditsGraded credits are the total number of credits for which the student hasearned a letter grade.Dean’s ListFull-time undergraduate students who demonstrate academic excellenceby earning a grade point average (GPA) of at least 3.6 while completing aminimum of 15 credit hours, of which 12 are graded credits, are named tothe Dean’s List at the end of each semester. Letters of notification are sentto qualifying students in January for the previous fall semester; June forthe previous spring semester; and a Dean’s List notation will appear on thestudent’s transcript.Repeat PolicyA student may repeat a given course only once for the purposes of improvinghis or her grade point average. When a course is repeated, the creditsearned count once for purposes of satisfying degree requirements and forpurposes of calculating the student’s GPA. When a course is repeated, thegrade that is counted in calculating the GPA is the grade earned the secondtime, even if that grade is lower than the grade earned the first time. Allcourses taken and all grades earned will appear on the student’s UB transcript.When a course has been repeated, the first grade appears on the UBtranscript with a symbol and note indicating that it has been replaced bythe later grade in the computation of the UB GPA.Courses in which a student earns a passing grade during a registrationbeyond the second time may be applied toward General Education requirements.However, each academic department has the authority to decidewhether or not courses may be repeated to meet program requirements.Prior to registering for a course for the second time or more, studentsmust check with their major or minor department to determine if this ispermissible.The repeat policy does not apply, except by appeal, to courses thatmay have different content from semester to semester (e.g., Special Topicscourses) and that are designed to be taken more than once for additionalcredits each time. The repeatable status of courses so designated is indicatedin the course descriptions in the online version of this catalog. A latergrade in such a course may replace an earlier grade only if the content ofthe two courses is essentially the same.Students may not repeat courses in which they have a grade of Incomplete.However, after the “I” is changed to a grade the course may berepeated.S/U grading is not an option for courses that are repeated.Repeat Policy as It Applies to Transfer WorkStudents may repeat at UB courses previously taken elsewhere. Credit isonly awarded for the second taking of the course; therefore, the previouslyawarded transfer credit will be voided.Students may repeat courses taken at UB at other institutions. If thestudent passed the UB course and repeats this course at another institution,no transfer credit will be awarded. The student’s UB credit and UBGPA will not be affected. The benefits are only to demonstrate subjectproficiency.If the student failed the UB course and repeats this course at anotherinstitution, transfer credit will be awarded. The student’s UB GPA,however, will not be affected.Please note: For the Repeat Policy to take effect, transfer courses must first be articulatedwith UB courses. (Consult with a UB advisor and the course articulation listed atTAURUS for proper course selection.)The Effect of the Repeat Policy on Prior Academic StandingThe repeat policy does not entitle any student to a retroactive degree, Latinhonors, Dean’s List placement, or other awards or recognition that wouldhave been forthcoming had the student’s GPA been computed under thenew algorithm on a previous occasion. The historical record of students onprobation or who have been dismissed academically in a past semester willnot be changed as a result of the repeat policy.The Effect of the Repeat Policy on Financial AidRepeating a course may affect student eligibility for financial aid. Studentsreceiving financial aid should confer with a financial aid or academic advisorprior to registering for a repeated course.Second Chance PolicyStudents who have been readmitted to the University at Buffalo after havingacademic difficulty during previous attendance at UB may be eligiblefor forgiveness of previous grades. If approved:.2.3..2.All credits and grades earned prior to the student’s break in attendanceat UB will not be calculated into the student’s cumulative UB creditsand GPA;All previously completed UB coursework cannot count towards degreerequirements, major acceptance criteria, or course prerequisites; andAlthough not included in the cumulative GPA calculation, grades willremain on the transcript.Students must meet the following eligibility criteria:Students must not have attended the University at Buffalo for at leasttwo and a half academic years (five consecutive fall and spring semesters);andStudents must demonstrate maturity and ability to succeed academically,usually through activities during their time away from UB. Examplesinclude, but are not limited to: successful study at another higher educationinstitution, voluntary service, full-time work in a field related to thestudent’s major, and honorable military service.Applications must be submitted to the Scholastic Standards Committeeprior to graduation. All Scholastic Standards Committee approvals arefinal and cannot be reversed. If denied, students may apply again after 12months. Students may apply no more than 3 times. The Second ChancePolicy can be applied to a student record only once during the student’sacademic career at UB, and cannot be applied if UB’s previous academicforgiveness policy (Fresh Start) has already been applied.Application of the Second Chance Policy may affect academic standingand financial aid. Reentering students should discuss their options with anacademic advisor and a financial aid advisor. Applications must be reviewedand signed by an academic advisor.The Second Chance Policy does not apply to transfer coursework.Access to Grade InformationStudents may obtain their grades for a specific semester, or a complete recordof their grades, by calling the university’s voice-response system, BIRD,at (716) 645-7800, or by accessing MyUB at http://myub.buffalo.edu.TranscriptsStudents may have official transcripts of their UB academic work sent attheir request as indicated on the Transcript Request form, available onMyUB and the SARFS Web site. Forms may be faxed, mailed or droppedoff at the Student Response Center in 232 Capen Hall. Official transcriptswill not be released for students who have university financial obligations,including Bursar (B), Institutional loan (G), Traffic (T), or Financial Obligation(N) checkstops.Mid-Semester ReviewStudents who are new to UB are often unaware of the academic norms oftheir new environment and their standing with respect to those norms. Tohelp these students to acclimate successfully, instructors of first-semesterstudents are asked to provide mid-semester evaluations using indicatorcodes for students’ coursework. Indicator codes are Satisfactory (S),Unsatisfactory (U), or progress not yet available (I).

Students are encouraged to promptly follow up with their instructorsand advisors where performance is less than satisfactory.Academic Standards ReviewTo maintain academic standards and determine eligibility for continuedenrollment, financial aid, and participation in university activities, the Universityat Buffalo regularly reviews the academic records of all undergraduatestudents. This review addresses the quality of the student’s studies asmeasured by the student’s course grades.Academic Good StandingA student is in academic good standing if the student’s cumulative UBgrade point average (GPA) is 2.0 or greater and one of the student’s mostrecent two consecutive semester GPAs at UB is 2.0 or greater.A student in academic good standing is eligible for all universityactivities.Academic WarningMany students go through an adjustment period when beginning theirbaccalaureate studies at the university. Therefore, any student—freshmanor transfer—whose first-semester GPA is less than 2.0 will be on academicwarning in his/her second semester of study at the university.Although a student on academic warning will be considered in goodstanding for purposes of participation in university activities, he/she maybe subject to an advisement checkstop—a mandatory discussion with anacademic advisor to help build an effective academic strategy before thestudent may complete any further registration activity.Academic ProbationA student is on academic probation and not in academic good standing ifhis/her cumulative UB GPA is 2.0 or greater but his/her most recent twoconsecutive semester GPAs are less than 2.0.A student is on academic probation and not in academic good standingif his/her cumulative UB GPA is less than 2.0 after two or more semestersof study at UB.A student who is already on academic probation who continues to haveless than a 2.0 UB GPA for another consecutive semester will be consideredto be on continued academic probation.A student who is already on continued academic probation and persistsin having a cumulative UB GPA of less than 2.0 for the next consecutivesemester and a quality point deficit of 20 points or less (after the completionof that semester) will be considered to be on continued academicprobation.A student who is already on continued academic probation and persistsin having a cumulative UB GPA of less than 2.0 for the next consecutivesemester and a quality point deficit of greater than 20 points (after thecompletion of that semester), but the most recent semester UB GPA is 2.0or greater will be considered to be on continued academic probation.Students may request, through their academic advisor, to have their UBsummer session grades evaluated for purposes of reconsideration of theiracademic probationary status.Students on academic probation are not eligible to participate in universityactivities. In addition, students on academic probation may be subjectto an advisement checkstop—a mandatory discussion with an academicadvisor to help build an effective academic strategy before the student maycomplete any further registration activity.Academic DismissalA student enrolled at UB for two or more semesters who has a cumulativeUB GPA less than 0.5 will be dismissed from the university regardless ofhis/her most recent semester GPA.A student on continued academic probation who, at the completion ofthe next semester has a cumulative UB GPA less than 2.0, a grade pointdeficit greater than 20 points, and a GPA for the most recent semester lessthan 2.0 will be dismissed from the university.Students are reviewed for academic dismissal at the end of each academicyear, but any student—freshman or transfer—who begins study atUB in the spring semester may also be reviewed at the end of the followingfall semester.22 Undergraduate Catalog 2007-08 • University at BuffaloEach dismissed student will receive official notification via U.S. mail andhis/her UB email account, and all future academic-year registrations will beremoved and/or blocked. The student will not be allowed to reapply to UBand register for a period of at least one year.A dismissed student may attend UB summer sessions.A dismissed student may appeal the dismissal in writing to the ViceProvost of Undergraduate Education during a period of time specified inthe dismissal letter.Alternative Methods for Earning University CreditAfter enrollment at UB, students may be awarded credit toward theiruniversity degree through methods other than UB course work. Examplesare proficiency examinations, military training, and non-collegiate basedprofessional training. In some instances, this credit may shorten the timerequired to complete a degree. This credit is not calculated for purposed ofadmission to UB and is apart from any transferred credit awarded by theUB Office of Admission, for courses completed at other institutions.To request a credit award, students must present official documentationof an approved minimum score. Official scores should be sent to: Officeof Admissions, University at Buffalo, 12 Capen Hall, Buffalo, NY 14260-1660. All university-level exams, passed with the minimum score requiredby UB or better, are awarded elective credit with a “P” or pass grade.(Pass grades do not affect UB GPAs.) Exams and scores may also applytoward specific degree requirements if they have been articulated—thatis, matched—to a specific UB course or requirement. UB course articulationfor frequently requested alternative credit exam types is available onthe TAURUS (Transfer and Articulation Services) Web site home page athttp://taurus.buffalo.edu.Alternative credit will not be awarded for exams that duplicate thecontent of a college course for which a student has already received credit.Alternative credit will not be awarded for exams if a student has completedmore advanced study beyond the level to be covered by the exam.Evaluation of alternative credit is based on the articulation in effect at thetime the credit is requested. General guidelines for alternative credit typesaccepted by the university are described below.Advanced Placement (AP)An official score report from the College Board showing a minimum scoreof 3 on any AP examination will guarantee the student elective credittoward a UB degree and, in some cases, credit toward major and generaleducation requirements as listed on the alternative exam credit—advanceplacement exam (AP) chart. Students should designate UB (SUNY CenterBuffalo/School Code 2925) at the time they take an exam or if they laterrequest that AP scores be sent to UB.College Credit Recommendation ServicesCredit may be awarded for certain non-collegiate training programs usuallyoffered in agencies, professional associations, and public and privatecorporations. Students should contact the sponsor of the training programto determine whether the American Council on Education (ACE) hasevaluated it for credit. The credit awarded for each program is based onACE guidelines.College-Level Examination Program (CLEP)Students who submit official score reports showing they have earned theminimum required score on a CLEP exam, as determined by UB and listedon the alternative exam credit—college-level examination program (CLEP)chart, will be awarded elective or articulated credit toward their degreebased on approved articulation. Prior to taking a CLEP examination,students currently enrolled at UB are advised to contact their advisor todetermine whether credit can be awarded.Defense Activity for Nontraditional Education Support(DANTES)Students who submit official score reports showing they have earned theminimum required score, as determined by UB, on DANTES exams consideredby UB to be university-level, will be awarded elective or articulated

credit toward their degree. Approved articulation of DANTES exams islisted on the alternative exam credit—DANTES subject standardizedexam chart.Excelsior CollegeExcelsior (Regents) College offers college proficiency examinations thatcan be considered for elective or articulated college credit if they have beenrecognized and evaluated for credit by ACE.General Certificate of Education (GCE)A-level examinations, submitted as official score reports showing gradesof “E” or better and at the Advanced Level or Advanced Subsidiary Level,will guarantee students elective credit for use toward their UB degrees, andin some cases toward major and General Education requirements. GCEexam articulation is available on the alternative exam credit—general certificateof education advanced level exam (GCE) chart. No credit is awardedfor English language exams taken in a non-native English-speaking countryor taken by a student whose native language is not English.International Baccalaureate (IB)Students who have completed an IB diploma with a score of 30 or higherwill be awarded 30 credits toward their degree and, in some cases, towardtheir major and general education requirements. They may contact the officeof Student Advising Services at (716) 645-6013 for more information.Students who completed an IB diploma with a score of 29 or less andstudents who did not complete a diploma are guaranteed credit only forhigher-level exams with scores of “5” or better. This credit, 30 creditsmaximum, will apply toward their degree and, in some cases, toward majorand general education requirements. IB higher-level exam articulation isavailable on the alternative exam credit—international baccalaureate exam(IB) chart.No credit is awarded for IB English language exams taken in a non-nativeEnglish-speaking country or by a student whose native language is notEnglish. A maximum of 30 credits may be awarded for an IB diploma orIB exams.Military CreditElective credit for use toward a UB degree is assigned for basic training andfor certain approved educational experiences in the armed forces.Transfer CourseworkOnce enrolled at the university, students intending to take coursework atanother institution should first consult with an academic advisor. Mostdegree-level courses from accredited institutions will transfer with credit tothe university. However, a faculty-approved articulation decision is neededto identify transferred courses that will apply toward major requirements.Prior approval must be obtained from an advisor to use transferred coursestoward general education requirements. Course articulation for more than1,900 colleges and universities is available on the university’s transfer coursearticulation Web site, TAURUS http://taurus.buffalo.edu.To transfer credit to the university, students should request officialtranscripts, including grades for all courses, be sent to the Office of Admissions,University at Buffalo, 12 Capen Hall, Buffalo, NY 14260-1660.UB College Credit ExaminationsStudents who are enrolled (matriculated) at UB may earn credit for anexamination administered by a UB department. These exams are comparableto final examinations. Departments determine whether to administersuch examinations. Students applying for these exams must have an overallminimum GPA of 2.0 and cannot be graduating seniors. UB College Examinationcredit will not be awarded for exams that duplicate the contentof a college course for which a student has already received credit. UBCollege Examination credit will not be awarded for exams if a student hascompleted more advanced study beyond the level to be covered by theexam. Students who wish to determine their eligibility for these examinationsmay obtain applications from the Student Response Center and thentalk to their advisor and the academic department about eligibility for andavailability of the exam. A fee is charged.Study Abroad ProgramsUB Study Abroad Programs offers students the experience of a lifetime:an academic program in another country that provides an education bothwithin and outside the classroom. More than 10% of all UB undergraduatestudents participate in study abroad programs annually. All students areencouraged to explore the more than 400 study abroad programs in over50 countries are available to UB students through State University of NewYork campuses. More information about study abroad opportunities isavailable at www.buffalo.edu/studyabroad.Registration for UB and SUNY Study Abroad ProgramsAll University at Buffalo students studying abroad through UB or anySUNY school, as well as non-SUNY students participating in a Universityat Buffalo Study Abroad or Exchange Program, are registered by the UBStudy Abroad Programs office for the academic credit hours to be earnedduring their studies abroad.To be registered for a UB or SUNY study abroad program, a StudyAbroad Registration Form provided by the UB study abroad office mustbe completed and submitted to Study Abroad Programs, University atBuffalo, 210 Talbert Hall, Buffalo, New York 14260-1604. Upon receiptof this form, the study abroad office will register the student in OverseasPrograms (OPR) courses. Students should not preregister for any coursesthemselves. Fall, spring, or academic-year participants are nominallyregistered for 16 credit hours. This keeps these students in full-time statusfor billing and financial aid purposes, although the classes they actuallycomplete abroad may represent more or less than 16 credit hours. Whenthe actual credit hours taken and grades earned are received for the studyabroad program, the number of credit hours will be corrected to reflect thenumber actually completed by the study abroad participant. Summer studyabroad students will be registered for the number of hours they indicate onthe Study Abroad Registration Form.Registration for Non-SUNY Study Abroad ProgramsUniversity at Buffalo students electing to participate in non-SUNY studyabroad programs are required to register through the UB Study AbroadPrograms office. Students will be registered for a 0-credit hour OverseasPrograms (OPR) course for the semester(s) of their participation. Studentswho will be abroad during the fall and/or spring semesters will also beregistered for a leave of absence if they meet all leave of absence criteria.Registration for non-SUNY study abroad programs should be done asfar in advance as possible once a student has decided to participate in theprogram. Study Abroad Programs keeps these students informed of eventsof importance to them while abroad, including U.S. government traveladvisories for U.S. citizens, updates on events of relevance here at UB, andother pertinent information.Students participating in a non-SUNY study abroad program shouldseek academic advisement prior to the semester the program is to begin.Students should also verify with the Office of Admissions prior to departurethat the University at Buffalo will accept transfer credit from theinstitution/organization awarding the transcript for their intended studyabroad program.Upon conclusion of the overseas program, students are required to submitofficial transcripts from those institutions of academic work completedduring the leave period. Such transcripts must be submitted to the Officeof Admissions no later than the last day of the sixth week of the returningsemester.Overseas Course ApprovalsCredits earned through any approved study abroad program may be appliedtoward general university graduation requirements and may fulfillspecific degree requirements if the student obtains approval from his/heracademic advisor (preferably prior to departure). Departments retain thefinal authority to decide what courses they will or will not apply toward amajor or minor. It is often helpful to obtain course descriptions to take tothe department for their review when requesting approval. Course descriptionsare usually available from the sponsoring campus.ACADEMIC POLICIES AND PROCEDURESUniversity at Buffalo • Undergraduate Catalog 2007-08 23

ACADEMIC POLICIES AND PROCEDURESStudy Abroad Grades and Credits on the UB TranscriptSince study abroad grades must be transmitted from the foreign institutionto the sponsoring SUNY school, then to the student’s home campus (ifdifferent from the sponsoring campus), and then translated into the SUNYsystem of grading and credit hours, these grades may take additional timeto reach a student’s transcript than grades for courses taken at the homecampus. For this reason, if within six months following a study abroadprogram a student plans to graduate, apply to another school or graduateprogram, apply for grants or scholarships, or do anything else that requireshim/her to document grades for the semester(s) he/she spent abroad, westrongly suggest that the student arrange to obtain a transcript of studiesfrom the foreign institution before returning home, deliver this transcriptto the sponsoring SUNY institution that sponsors the program, and askthat institution to expedite the processing of the transcript supplement.The UB Study Abroad Programs office will do everything possible to ensurerapid and efficient transmittal of the grades to the student’s permanentrecord but cannot guarantee the time of their arrival.UB Sponsored ProgramsCourse names, credit hours, and letter grades are recorded directly on students’official UB transcripts. These grades will be averaged into the GPAs.SUNY Sponsored ProgramsStudents’ official UB transcripts will indicate their participation in a SUNYsponsoredprogram abroad by listing the total credit hours earned and apass/fail grade. A transcript supplement with course names, credit hours,and letter grades is added to the students’ records. Grades are not averagedinto the GPAs except for Latin Honors determination upon graduation.SUNY Community College Sponsored ProgramParticipation in a two-year community college-sponsored program requiresregistration for 0 (zero) credit hours at the University at Buffalo, as well asregistration at the sponsoring campus, and a leave of absence from UB.Credits earned abroad are shown as transfer credits on the students’ officialUB transcripts. An official transcript should be sent to UB’s Office ofAdmissions upon conclusion of the program.Non-SUNY Sponsored ProgramsParticipation in a non-SUNY-sponsored program requires students’registration for 0 (zero) credit hours at the University at Buffalo, as wellas registration at the sponsoring campus. A leave of absence from UB isalso required for students studying abroad on non-SUNY programs duringfall and/or spring semesters. Prior to departure, students must ensure thatUB’s Office of Admissions will accept credit from the institution issuingthe transcript. Credits earned abroad are shown as transfer credits on theofficial UB transcript. An official transcript should be sent to UB’s Officeof Admissions upon conclusion of the program.Please Note: Although passing grades from participation in an Other-SUNY-sponsoredprogram (a program sponsored by a SUNY unit other than UB) will not affect the UBgrade point average (GPA) that appears on transcripts, these grades are calculated intothe overall GPA by the degree auditors when the student applies for a degree for degreegrantingand Latin Honors purposes only.Student FinancesCost of Attending UBBelow is an annual budget based on fall and spring semester attendance:University Housing and board allowances, books and supplies, personalexpenses, loan origination fees, and transportation figures are estimatesthat vary for each student. Costs for tuition, fees, and university dormitoryhousing and food contracts are subject to change. In general, studentsshould anticipate that charges for budget expenses will rise approximately 3percent each academic year.Annual Undergraduate Student Cost of Attendance(based on estimated cost of University Housing)In-State Tuition and Fees ................................................................$6,129Out-of-State Tuition and Fees ..................................................... $12,389Housing Allowance ..........................................................................$5,158Board Allowance ..............................................................................$2,977Books and Supplies .............................................................................$920Personal Expenses ...............................................................................$796Transportation .....................................................................................$589Financial AidThe University at Buffalo is a public institution whose mission is toprovide affordable, high-quality education to all, regardless of economicbackground. The primary responsibility for meeting the cost of a collegeeducation rests with the student and the student’s family. Financial aid programsare intended to supplement the family’s contribution. The StudentAcademic Records and Financial Services staff is dedicated to assistingstudents and parents in finding sources of funding to meet educationalexpenses.Financial Aid ProcessThe process of awarding financial aid begins with a thorough analysis ofthe student’s and/or student’s family’s financial situation, including income,assets, and number of family members in college. Financial need is definedas the difference between education cost and the expected family contribution(EFC).The federal government, based on financial information provided onthe Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form, determinesthe EFC. FAFSA on the Web is a free, fast, secure, and easy way to completethe FAFSA. Paper versions of the FAFSA are available from mosthigh school guidance offices and college financial aid offices.Credits from participation in any study abroad program cannot be used tofulfill the residency requirement at UB. To earn a degree from the Universityat Buffalo, a student must complete a minimum of 30 credit hours, theequivalent of one full year of study, at the university.24 Undergraduate Catalog 2007-08 • University at Buffalo

Residents of New York State completing the FAFSA on the Web mayuse all of the information provided on the FAFSA to complete the ExpressTAP Application (ETA). Once the FAFSA on the Web application is completedand a submission confirmation is received, students should select thelink provided for TAP on the Web. This is a special feature available only toNew York State residents.Once the expected family contribution and any unmet financial needare determined, staff members in Student Academic Records and FinancialServices will use all resources available to determine an appropriate awardpackage. There are three basic components of financial aid that comprise astudent’s individual award package: grants and scholarships (do not need tobe repaid); jobs (on-campus federal work-study positions); and loans (mustbe repaid).Students with specific questions or concerns should call (716) 645-2450,visit the Student Academic Records and Financial Services Web site, ormake an appointment to speak with a staff member of Student AcademicRecords and Financial Services. The office of Student Academic Recordsand Financial Services office is committed to providing top-quality serviceto students.Financial Aid EligibilityTo be considered eligible for financial aid, students must:• Be U.S. citizens or eligible non-citizens• Be registered with the selective service (if required)• Maintain satisfactory academic progress for federal and statefinancial aid• Not owe a refund on a federal grant or be in default on a federaleducational loan• Demonstrate financial need (except for federal unsubsidized loans andprivate alternative loans)Important facts to remember when applying for aid:• Students must be registered for at least 12 credit hours to be consideredfull time. Students who are registered for less than 12 credit hours mayimpact their financial aid eligibility.• Over-awards can occur because students are awarded other funds fromoutside agencies after they have accepted their award package. Theover-award situation may cause aid packages to be reduced. If studentsreceive additional funds not specified in their award letter, they shouldnotify Student Academic Records and Financial Services in writing.• Students who receive Title IV Aid (FDSL Loans, Perkins Loans, Pell, orSEOG Grants) and officially resign from the university should requestand refer to a copy of the Policy Statement for the Adjustment ofFinancial Aid Due to Discontinuance of Study. Copies are availableon the Student Academic Records and Financial Services Web sitehttp://src.buffalo.edu.• Students who do not officially resign are considered in attendancefor that semester and are responsible for all academic and financialliabilities.Federal Financial Aid RequirementsEligibility for Federal Financial AidFinancial aid is contingent upon continued satisfactory academic progress.Each spring, a review of financial aid eligibility is conducted. Students arenotified of their eligibility status via e-mail and may appeal these decisions.Criteria—Performance and ProgressAn undergraduate student is eligible for federal financial aid if the studentis (1) in academic good standing as measured by the cumulative and semesterGPA, and (2) is progressing toward the baccalaureate degree as measuredby completed credit hours per semester according to the university’sFederal Satisfactory Academic Progress standards. Students must completetheir first bachelor’s degree within 150 percent of the normal number ofcredits required to complete a bachelor’s degree, not exceeding 180 credithours.Academic PerformanceA student in good academic standing, or who is on academic probation,is eligible to receive federal financial aid if s/he meets the minimumGPA. Federal regulations require a student to have a GPA consistent withthe university’s graduation requirement. A student—either full-time orpart-time—who fails to achieve the minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 inall courses is placed on financial aid academic probation after the secondsemester of study. A student placed on academic probation is expected toraise his/her cumulative GPA to a minimum of 2.0 within a reasonableamount of time. If a student fails to raise his/her cumulative GPA to 2.0or above, the student will be dismissed. Dismissed students are ineligibleto receive federal financial aid. If a student is dismissed and re-admitted onprobation after appeal, the student should consult with a financial aid advisorto determine eligibility for federal financial aid.Academic Progress—Full-time StudentsA full-time undergraduate student must demonstrate progress by accumulatingacademic credits at a rate that indicates graduation in a timelymanner. A full-time student who is not progressing toward graduation atthe defined rate will not receive federal aid regardless of his/her GPA. Thefederal aid progress criteria for a full-time student at the university are comparableto the credits-earned criteria for New York State aid, but extend toa five-year period of time as noted below.ACADEMIC POLICIES AND PROCEDURESStandard of Satisfactory Academic Progress for DeterminingEligibility for New York State Student AidBaccalaureate Degree Programs (Semester Calendar)Before Being Certifiedfor this Payment .............................................. 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th 10thA student must have earnedat least this many credits ............................................0 3 9 21 33 45 60 75 90* 105*With at Least This GPA ............................................0.0 1.10 1.20 1.30 2.0 2.0 2.0 2.0 2.0* 2.0*And must receive a grade forthis number of credit hours ......................................0 6 6 9 9 12 12 12 12 12* Noncredit remedial instruction can be counted toward a full-time academic load as set forth in 145-2.1 of the Commissioner’s Regulations.

ACADEMIC POLICIES AND PROCEDURESAcademic Progress—Part-time StudentsAcademic progress for part-time students who receive federal aid is definedas completion of credits earned according to the part-time chart. Cumulativecompleted credits are not a measure of progress for a part-timestudent. Semester credits earned are the sole measure of progress.Part-Time Satisfactory Academic Progress Chart for FederalFinancial AidCredit Hours RegisteredCredit Hours Earned11.9 - 6.0 50% must be completed5.9 - 3.0 3 credit hours must be completedTime Limits for Federal Aid EligibilityStudents must complete their first baccalaureate degree within 150 percentof the normal time required to complete a bachelor’s degree, not to exceed180 credit hours.Full-Time Satisfactory Academic Progess Chart forFederal Financial AidSemester 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15Credits Earned 0 3 9 21 33 45 60 75 90 105 120 135 150 165 180State Aid (TAP) RequirementsTo be eligible to receive a New York State Tuition Assistance Program(TAP) award, students must be full-time, matriculating New York Stateresidents making satisfactory academic progress and not in violation ofProgram Pursuit (see below).Once junior status is reached (normally the fifth semester of study or60 credit hours or more earned), students must have a declared major onfile. After receiving four TAP payments, students must have a minimumcombined GPA of 2.0.Repeated CoursesRepeated courses in which the student had already received a passing gradecannot be included to meet full-time study requirements for state-sponsoredfinancial aid (TAP). Repeated courses may be counted toward fulltimestudy requirements if a student repeats a failed course, if a studentrepeats the course for additional credit, or when a student has received agrade that is passing at the institution but is unacceptable in a particularcurriculum.Academic Progress Regulations, Including Program PursuitOne standard has been established for each level of study (undergraduate,graduate, etc.) throughout the State University of New York: Program Pursuit.The Program Pursuit guidelines require completion of a prescribedpercentage of coursework each semester for students receiving statefinancial assistance.The chart on page 25 describes the Program Pursuit criteria to receivestate financial assistance. The criteria may be subject to change based onthe passage of a new state budget.Waivers of Criteria for Satisfactory Academic Progress for NewYork State Financial AidIf a student is ineligible to receive state financial aid, a there is a provisionfor a one-time waiver of program pursuit satisfactory academic progressrequirements. The waiver is to be used only in exceptional cases (e.g.,illness, death in the family) in accordance with the TAP Waiver PolicyGuidelines and Procedures as stated on the waiver application.A waiver may not be granted because an Incomplete (“I”) grade is received.If an Incomplete is included in the number of hours required to becompleted during the previous semester (see chart), the student will not beeligible to receive the state award for the subsequent semester. The Incompletegrade must be changed to a letter grade by the end of the subsequentsemester or the state award is lost for the semester in question.Financial Aid and Study AbroadStudents participating in a study abroad program may be eligible to receivefinancial aid and should file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid(FAFSA) form. To be eligible, students must also be enrolled for aminimum of 6 credits and be matriculated in a degree program in whichall credits earned on the study abroad program will be applied to degreerequirements.Students participating in a UB (or a four-year SUNY school) sponsoredprogram, can apply the financial aid package (excluding work-study) to thecosts of the study abroad program. For students participating in a programsponsored by an out-of-state school, there may be portions of the financialaid that cannot be applied to the out-of-state programs.Student RecordsStudent InformationStudent records are confidential and are released only to appropriate facultyand administrative offices. UB can release student records to any othercollege, prospective employer, or agency only with the written permissionof the student. Student addresses or telephone numbers are released bythe university unless the student has requested the non-release of directoryinformation.Telephone and Directory InformationUnless otherwise notified in writing, the university may release the followingdirectory information upon request: student’s name, current address,telephone number, e-mail address, major field of study, dates of attendance,and degrees and awards received; and the university will publish thestudent’s name, major field of study, and e-mail address on its Internetaccessibledirectory.Students who wish to block the release of directory information mustnotify Student Academic Records and Financial Services in person or inwriting.

Thisincludes the traditional aeronauticsand astronautics applications (e.g.,subsonic and supersonic aircraft,satellites, space shuttle, space station),as well as aerospace-relatedcomponent development (designof structures, devices, and instruments)and vehicle and propulsionsystem design.Because of the rapid pace ofdevelopment and the extremediversity of the aerospace field, theundergraduate aerospace engineeringprogram stresses knowledge ofthe profession’s fundamentals- thefoundation for lifelong learning.While many students enter industrydirectly after completing the BSprogram, a significant numberelect to pursue graduate work inengineering or other fields.The objectives are to preparegraduates for a career or advancedstudies in aerospace engineering,applying the concepts andprinciples of mathematics, scienceand engineering; provide graduateswith the technical skills neededfor a career or advanced studies inaerospace engineering; and providegraduates with the professionalskills and societal awareness necessaryfor the practice of aerospaceengineering. During the first andsecond years, students will beprovided with broad knowledge inapplied mathematics, physics, andthe engineering sciences during thefirst and second years. During thethird and fourth years, studentsbuild upon this foundation bylearning the specialized topics ofaerodynamics, propulsion, structures,vehicle design, and stabilityand control.Transfer PolicyTransfer students must first applyto the university and meet theuniversity transfer admissionrequirements.

Arch.), as well asan undergraduate minor. Foundedin 1969, the department offers introductorycourses for non-majors,as well as undergraduate preprofessional,graduate professional, andadvanced postprofessional trainingin the field of architecture. Additionaldegree programs includea dual master of architecture plusmaster of urban planning (M.Arch.+ M.U.P.), a dual master of architectureplus master of businessadministration (M.Arch. + M.B.A.),a dual master of architecture plusmaster of fine arts in media artsproduction (M.Arch. + M.F.A.),and a research-based advancedpostprofessional master of architecture(M.Arch.II.).Architecture is the study ofdesigning and building structures,and architects are professionalswith specialized knowledge aboutthe design of built and naturalenvironments. Architects transformconcepts and then develop images,plans, and designs of buildings,communities, and landscapes forconstruction.The educational mission of theDepartment of Architecture isfourfold:. To educate and train individualsin the art and science of38 Undergraduate Catalog 2007-08 • University at Buffalo

2.3.4.architecture in preparation forcreative leadership within theprofession and the discipline ofarchitecture;To encourage a critical understandingof the historical,societal, material, and culturalforces that inform the builtenvironment;To prepare students to exploreemerging ideas and technologiesthat can and will have profoundeffects on the built environment;and,To provide a comprehensiveeducation through exposure torelated disciplines throughoutthe university and to encouragerigorous interaction acrossdisciplinary boundaries.Incoming students shouldprepare themselves in the areas offreehand drawing, manual drafting,figure drawing, sculpting, studio art,technical drawing, and 2-D and 3-Ddesign. Graphic techniques, modelmaking, ceramics production, metalworking, as well as many other visualskills are taught in the bachelorof science in architecture program,but students who have some earlierpreparation may find it easier tosucceed in design studio coursework.In addition, the Associationof Collegiate Schools of Architecturerecommends introductorycourses in urban studies, art, andworld history for those interested inarchitecture.Architects must be able tographically communicate their ideasvisually to their clients; therefore,design and drawing ability is helpfulfor such communication. Moreimportant is a visual orientation andthe ability to conceptualize and understandspatial relationships. Goodcommunication skills, the ability towork independently or as part of ateam, and creativity are importantqualities for anyone interested inbecoming an architect.Many of the building technologycourses and design studios requiredin the Department of Architecturedepend upon prior knowledge ofphysics and calculus, and physicsand calculus are prerequisitesfor the structures/constructioncourses in architecture. Studentsmay fulfill these prerequisites withsuccessful completion of AdvancedPlacement high school calculus andAdvanced Placement high schoolphysics, or successful completionof introductory college calculus andintroductory college physics.Basic computing skills, includingfamiliarity with personal computers,word processing, and desktop publishingare prerequisites to beginningthe sophomore year. Studentswho are unable to demonstrate thenecessary competence may be requiredto seek remedial help beforecontinuing in the undergraduateprogram. It is the responsibility ofall architecture students to haveaccess to a computer.Degrees Offered•••Undergraduate: B.S., MinorGraduate: M.Arch.Combined Graduate:M.Arch./M.U.P., M.Arch./M.B.A., M.Arch./M.F.A.Degree OptionsBachelor of Science inArchitectureThe bachelor of science in architectureis a preprofessional baccalaureatedegree designed to instillconcepts and skills upon whichprofessional architecture studiesat the graduate level are based. Itallows students to complete allprerequisites for eligibility to entera two-year accredited professionalmaster of architecture (M.Arch.)degree program. In 1994, the departmentexpanded the undergraduateprogram into a four-year, preprofessionalundergraduate degree.This format provides candidatesfor the preprofessional bachelor ofscience in architecture with a liberalexposure to the applied arts, humanities,social sciences, technologies,and aesthetic expression. Thegoal is to convey architecture as afield of study and a way of viewingthe world. A minimum of 128semester credit hours is requiredfor the preprofessional bachelor ofscience in architecture.The four-year, preprofessionalbachelor of science in architecture,without the accredited firstprofessional master of architecturedegree, is not accredited by NAAB.The preprofessional bachelor ofscience in architecture, as recognizedby NAAB, NCARB, andthe New York State EducationDepartment, is useful for thosewho desire a foundation in thefield of architecture as preparationfor either continued education inan accredited professional masterof architecture (MArch) degreeprogram or employment optionsin architecture-related professions.For additional information on theNational Architectural AccreditingBoard (NAAB), visit http://www.naab.org/. For further informationon the National Council ofArchitectural Registration Boards(NCARB), visit http://www.ncarb.org/.Most states require that anindividual intending to becomean architect hold an accreditedprofessional degree. There arethree types of professional degreesthat are accredited by the NationalArchitectural Accrediting Board(NAAB): the bachelor of architecture(B.Arch.), which typicallyrequires five years of undergraduateacademic study; the masterof architecture (M.Arch.), whichrequires a minimum of three yearsof academic study following anunrelated baccalaureate degree—or—two years following a relatedpreprofessional baccalaureate architecturedegree; and, the doctorof architecture (D.Arch.). Theseprofessional degrees are structuredto educate those who aspire toregistration/licensure as architects.The University at Buffalo is theonly campus in the State Universityof New York system to offer theaccredited professional master ofarchitecture (M.Arch.) degree.Minor in ArchitectureThe minor in architecture, anon-studio based track offered bythe Department of Architecture,provides students with a liberal exposureto the humanities, technology,social sciences, and aestheticexpression through the lenses ofthe built and the natural environments.The study of architectureoffers an indispensable backgroundfor students in most fields of studyin that it develops skills in criticalthinking and making as well as furnishingtools for interpreting andunderstanding the ways in whichwe inhabit and shape the materialworld. In addition, the minor in architecturemay enhance and provideadditional knowledge for studentsinterested in pursuing a 3+ yearaccredited professional master ofarchitecture (M.Arch.) degree uponcompletion of their baccalaureatestudies. The minor in architectureis typically completed within five tosix semesters.Architectural Licensing and Registration.To become a registeredarchitect, an individual is requiredto sit for a state-licensing architectureexam. The current licensurepolicy in the State of New York isbased, in combination, on the accumulationof credits earned from:a. Academic education; and,b. Professional/intern developmentexperience.All states and the District ofColumbia require individuals to belicensed (registered) before theymay call themselves architects andcontract to provide architecturalservices. During this time betweengraduation and becoming licensed,architecture school graduates generallywork in the profession as anintern architect under supervisionof a licensed architect who takeslegal responsibility for all work.Licensing requirements include aprofessional degree in architecture,a period of practical training or internship,and a passing score on alldivisions of the Architect RegistrationExamination (ARE).All state architectural registrationboards require a professional trainingperiod before candidates may sitfor the state-licensing architectureexam and become licensed. MostStates have adopted the trainingstandards established by the InternDevelopment Program, a branch ofthe American Institute of Architects(AIA) and the National Councilof Architectural RegistrationBoards (NCARB). These standardsstipulate broad and diversifiedtraining under the supervision ofa licensed architect over a three- tofive-year period. New graduatesusually begin as intern architectsin architectural firms, where theyassist in preparing architecturaldocuments or drawings. Internarchitects may research buildingcodes and materials or writespecifications for building materials,installation criteria, the quality offinishes, and other, related details.After completing the on-the-jobtraining period, intern architects areeligible to sit for the state-licensingarchitecture exam. The examinationtests candidates’ knowledge, skills,and ability to provide the variousservices required in the designand construction of structures.Licensing examinations are offeredin New York by the State EducationDepartment’s Office of theProfessions.At present, a candidate can sitfor the New York State licensingexam with:.

Theultimate goal of advisement is toempower students to use the toolsand resources available to becomeactive and responsible learners.Visit http://wings.buffalo.edu/ap/advising/ for additional informationon undergraduate advisement.The New York State architectlicense, in combination with thepreprofessional bachelor of sciencein architecture, will not transferto most other states. Without theaccredited first professional masterof architecture degree, an individualmay not be permitted to sit for thelicensure exam or practice in otherstates. In addition, the NationalCouncil of Architectural RegistrationBoards (NCARB) requires anaccredited professional master ofarchitecture degree for membershipand license reciprocity. A growingnumber of architects voluntarilyseek certification by NCARB, whichcan facilitate an individual’s licensingto practice in additional states.According to 2007 US Departmentof Labor data, approximately onethirdof all licensed architects hadNCARB certification. Architectsfind it increasingly necessary forNCARB certification to gain licensereciprocity in order to compete forthe best jobs and projects in otherStates. Certification is awarded afterindependent verification of thecandidate’s educational transcripts,employment record, and professionalreferences. NCARB certificationis the primary requirementfor reciprocity of licensing amongState Boards that are NCARBmembers. Nationally, the preferredmethod for licensure is to completean accredited professional masterof architecture degree program.For licensing information relatedto architecture, visit the New YorkState Education Department Website at www.op.nysed.gov/arch.htm.For information on the NationalCouncil of Architectural RegistrationBoards (NCARB), visit www.ncarb.org/.

KofkeChairJeffrey R. ErringtonDirector of Undergraduate Studiesjerring@buffalo.eduFor a listing of Chemical Engineeringfaculty and course descriptions, seethe Undergraduate Catalog Web siteat http://undergrad-catalog.buffalo.edu/academicprograms.About the ProgramChemical engineering concerns thedesign, scale-up, and operation ofchemical processes, and the understandingand design of technologicallyuseful materials. Chemicalengineers are responsible for theeconomical, safe, and environmentallybenign production of usefulquantities of vital materials—fromgrams of a new drug to tons ofa commodity chemical. Chemicalengineers use these same skills tounderstand and manipulate naturalprocesses, such as in biological systems.The program at UB is broadlybased to prepare graduates forpositions in engineering development,design, economic evaluation,sales, construction, production,and management. A number ofundergraduates go on to graduatework and careers in research, andsome pursue degrees in medicine,business, or law.Students intending to major inchemical engineering should havestrong backgrounds in chemistryand mathematics. Sophomore- andjunior-year students take a combinationof theoretical and appliedcourses in chemical engineering,in addition to several courses inphysical and organic chemistry.The senior year extends this baseand builds upon it with courses insystems, design and electives. Manyof the courses are accompanied bylaboratory sessions. Communicationskills, both oral and written, arestressed through laboratory reports.Some senior students are exposedto research in a senior projectscourse; others obtain industrial experiencethrough local internshipsor through the chemical engineeringco-op program.In 2003 the department changedits name (adding “Biological”) toreflect the important and growingcontributions that chemical engineersmake in the field of biologicalapplications. The profession isevolving to meet the increasingneed for engineers who speak thelanguages of chemistry and biology,and who possess strong quantitativeskills. Although the degreeoffered by the department is stillin chemical engineering, severalcourses are offered to permit studyof biological engineering, andthere is even more opportunity tofocus in biology through selectionof electives following a BiologicalEngineering track.Our curriculum is designed tomeet several educational objectives,which are stated as goals andabilities we expect our graduates toachieve within a few years of theconferral of their degree. Our educationalobjectives read as follows:Within a few years of obtaininga bachelor’s degree in chemicalengineering from the University atBuffalo, the recent graduate:• Demonstrates professionalengineering competence, viapromotions and/or advancementto positions of increasingresponsibility; via satisfactoryprogress towards completionof an advanced degree; or viaa successful transition from the“traditional” chemical engineeringcareer path into medicine,business, government, education,etc.• Develops and implements innovativeand effective solutionsto difficult problems. Showsproficiency in the applicationof engineering science in thepresence of practical constraintsor complicating factors to solvereal-world technical problems.• Grows continuously in therange of people with whomhe/she interacts professionally.Assumes responsibilities that requireincreasingly broad and diverseinterpersonal interactions,indicating the ability to relatewell to superiors, subordinates,and peers, inside or outside theorganization, perhaps involvingdifficult circumstances. Providesinput to others’ work thatenables them to do their jobbetter. Reaches team leadershippositions.• Demonstrates excellence andleadership in ethical standards,on-the-job safety, and environmentalprotection through participationin appropriate trainingactivities, short courses, orconferences; through employerrecognition for achievement inthe corresponding professionalpractice (e.g. safety awards); orby assumption of recognizedleadership positions in theseareas (e.g. safety officer).• Communicates his/her ideas,findings, and knowledgethrough the composition ofpapers and/or internal reports;authorship of standards andguidelines; publication ofscholarly articles; applicationfor patents; delivery of effectivepresentations to group leaders,internal and external customers,and at technical conferences;and/or training of coworkersand associates.• Engages in life-long learning viaparticipation in a professionalsociety, continuing educationcourse(s), professional engineeringcertification, professionaldevelopment course(s), and/orindustry training course(s).The B.S. degree is approved by theAccreditation Board for Engineeringand Technology.Transfer PolicyTransfer students must first applyto the university and meetthe university transfer admissionrequirements. For admission oftransfer students to engineering, seeSchool of Engineering and AppliedSciences Transfer Policy sectionof the Undergraduate Catalog athttp://undergrad-catalog.buffalo.edu/academicprograms/eas.shtml.Degrees Offered••Undergraduate: B.S.Combined: B.S./M.B.A.Degree OptionsIn addition to the regular BSprogram, a five-year BS-CE/MBAcombined degree program has beenestablished. Also, the Departmentof Biological Sciences offersa special biotechnology minorexclusively for chemical engineeringmajors. The Departmentalso offers three tracks, whichare specifications of electives forstudents wishing to focus on aspecialty within chemical engineering.Currently tracks are establishedfor (i) Biological Engineering; (ii)Materials Engineering; and (iii)Process Engineering. Details maybe obtained at the department Website. Finally, the Department ofBiological Sciences offers a specialbiotechnology minor exclusively forchemical engineering majors.AdvisementThe 2007-08 catalog presents a newcurriculum involving substantialchanges to the degree program wasintroduced in the 2006-07 catalog,and these changes are being phasedin as the freshman class entering in2006 proceeds toward graduationin 2010.

This is why we teachenduring works of literature (e.g. byCervantes, Flaubert, Dostoyevsky,Woolf, Borges, and Kafka). Ourcourses thus establish a meetingground between philosophy,psychoanalysis, feminism, politicaltheory, ethics, and religion. Theyregularly include major thinkersincluding Plato, Freud, Nietzsche,Foucault, and Derrida. Artists,whether of ‘high art’ or the massmedia, are central to our curriculumbecause they have posed indispensablequestions about the nature ofculture, literature, and community.Our literary and cultural offeringshave traditionally been small and intensive,focusing on individualizededucation. Because ComparativeLiterature is such a small department,our undergraduate coursesare seminar classes. This means thatstudents sit around a conferencetable in and discuss the texts andideas in detail. The ComparativeLiterature department offers a smallcollege experience and intellectualcommunity in a huge multiversity.Of recent years, an increasingnumber of UB undergraduatesACADEMIC PROGRAMS OF STUDYUniversity at Buffalo • Undergraduate Catalog 2007-08 75

Environmentaldesign applies knowledgeof social and behavioral scienceto plan and design communityenvironments that affect, and areaffected by, human behavior. Whileconcerned about humanity’s use,misuse, and abuse of the naturalenvironment, environmental designis also concerned with the plannedenvironment which humansbuild—the “artificial” or designedphysical environment—and itsability to meet community needs.More subtly, environmental designincludes issues from our cultural,economic, physical, political, andsocial environments. The purposeof environmental design is to gaina better understanding of thesecommunity environments, and thenapply that knowledge to plan anddesign improved surroundings.Environmental design addressesthe arrangement, appearance, andfunctionality of towns and citiesincluding the spaces used freely ona day-to-day basis by the generalpublic. This encompasses streetsand parks, together with publicinfrastructure, and privately ownedplaces. In addition, environmentaldesign is concerned with the waythese places are experienced andused, as well as other aesthetic elementsthat contribute to the qualityof community environments.Environmental design practitionersdevelop long- and short-term plansand designs to use land for thegrowth and revitalization of urban,suburban, and rural communities,while helping local officialsmake decisions concerning social,cultural, economic, physical, andenvironmental issues.The bachelor of arts and minorin environmental design offers apreprofessional course of studygrounded in the multidisciplinarytraditions of the liberal arts anddistinguished by active interventionand experience in communityand regional environments throughclassroom activity, fieldwork, workshops,and internships.The Department of Urban andRegional Planning offers a breadthof knowledge through its degreeprograms on understanding urbanand built environments, and teachesskills in information analysis, computing,written communications,and graphic techniques. In addition,the department offers specializedcourses in land use, communitydesign, property development,local government policy, economicdevelopment, environmental affairs,real estate development, historicpreservation, legal issues, and geographicinformation systems. Thepreprofessional environmentaldesign program utilizes the dynamicbi-national Buffalo-Niagara regionas a laboratory for planning, design,and action.Founded in 1969, the Departmentof Urban and Regional Planninghas evolved to offer a numberof degree programs, including anundergraduate preprofessionalbachelor of arts (B.A.) and minor inenvironmental design, as well as anaccredited professional master ofurban planning (M.U.P.) degree. Inaddition, the Department of Urbanand Regional Planning offers adual master of urban planning plusmaster of architecture (M.Arch. +M.U.P.) with the Department ofArchitecture, and a dual master ofurban planning plus juris doctor(M.U.P. + J.D.) with the LawSchool.Degrees Offered•••Undergraduate: B.A., MinorGraduate: M.U.P.Combined Graduate:M.Arch.+ M.U.P., M.U.P.+ J.D.Degree OptionsBachelor of Arts inEnvironmental DesignThe bachelor of arts in environmentaldesign is a preprofessional,48-credit-hour curriculum offeredby the Department of Urbanand Regional Planning, dividedinto four parts: an introductorysequence, core workshops, departmentelectives (including internshipopportunities), and senior-year capstonecourses.

WilsonChairFor a listing of Exercise Sciencefaculty and course descriptions, see theUndergraduate Catalog Web site athttp://undergrad-catalog.buffalo.edu/academicprograms.About the ProgramThe undergraduate program inexercise science (ES) is designed togive students a strong knowledgebase in physiological, biomechanical,and nutritional aspects ofhuman physical activity. Studentscan choose tracks in general ES,exercise nutrition or pre-physicaltherapy. The formal lecture/laboratorysequence of courses in thefour-year program, coupled with aone-semester internship experience,prepares graduates for entry-levelpositions focusing on rehabilitation,prevention of injury and disease,and/or performance enhancement.Many students find employmentas a direct result of the internshipexperience. The exercise scienceprogram is also excellent preparationfor entry into professionalcourses of study in other healthprofessions, such as medicine,chiropractic, or physician’s assistant.The ES program is also the entrypoint for the doctorate in physicaltherapy (DPT). Students completeone year of the upper-level professionalsequence in the ES programbefore entering the DPT. In addition,a five-year combined BS inexercise science/MS in nutritionscience is available.Degrees Offered•••Undergraduate: B.S.Combined Degrees: B.S./M.S.Concentrations: NutritionAcceptance InformationStudents can enter the exercisescience program as freshmen ortransfer directly into the programfrom another institution; anystudent who meets the minimumrequirements for admission into theUniversity at Buffalo is qualified forprovisional acceptance into the ESprogram. Students complete the ESprerequisite courses in the first twoyears, then undergo an academicreview in the second semester ofthe sophomore year. To remain inES and be permitted to take theprofessional sequence of courses,students must: (1) have a minimumGPA of 2.0 overall; (2) have completedall prerequisite courses witha minimum prerequisite GPA of2.5 (this normally takes two years);and (3) submit a Promotion toProfessional Sequence form. Promotionto professional sequence iscompetitive and is limited to 120students.To be eligible for the pre-PT track and BS/MS program,students must have a minimum prerequisiteGPA of 2.8 and no gradein prerequisite courses below C.Students can also be accepted intothe BS/MS program in exercise andnutrition sciences as freshmen ifthey enter UB either in the honorsor academic excellence programs.Students will still be required tocomplete the Promotion to ProfessionalSequence form and then beaccepted into the upper division.ACADEMIC PROGRAMS OF STUDYUniversity at Buffalo • Undergraduate Catalog 2007-08 99

It is a major internationallanguage of the arts, commerce,and science, a status that reflectsthe leading role that French cultureand technology have played andcontinue to play. In the UnitedStates, more students study Frenchthan any other foreign languageexcept Spanish.The centuries-old relationship ofthe English-speaking and Frenchspeakingcultures has resulted in acommon heritage. Not only is therea substantial overlap in vocabulary—some40 percent of Englishwords are of French origin—thereis also a common culture, goingfrom the Arthurian legends throughpostcolonial self-examination,and students find many familiarlandmarks in the study of Frenchculture.The French program trainsstudents in the spoken and writtenlanguage, and deepens their knowledgeof and interest in the literatureand culture of France and otherFrench-speaking countries. Majorsin French are encouraged to studyabroad for a summer, a semester,or a full year. SUNY programsin French cities are open to UBstudents.

McPhersonChairMichael WoldenbergDirector of Undergraduate StudiesFor a listing of Geography facultyand course descriptions, see the UndergraduateCatalog Web site at http://undergrad-catalog.buffalo.edu/academicprograms.About the ProgramGeography is primarily concernedwith the locations and arrangementsin space of human andnatural phenomena, and with theinterrelationships between people,businesses, public and social institutions,and their spatial environments.Geographers, therefore, areinterested in such topics as humanperception and behavior; thelocation of industry and business;mobility and transportation; urbangrowth and development; regionalplanning and policy study; physicaland ecological environments;interactions of people and placesover space and time; and the diffusionof information, commodities,and ideas.Over the years, geography hasdeveloped four major traditions orapproaches:. The spatial organization traditioninvestigates the positionsof places or regions, and thedistances, directions, interdependencies,and movementsbetween them. These elementsproduce geographic patterns onthe land and these patterns areevidence of spatial laws.2. The earth system traditionfocuses on the study of earthsurface processes and geographicpatterns relating to climate,landforms, soils, and the livingworld.3. Environmental/societal dynamicsstudies the interrelationshipsand interactions between societyand the natural and modifiedenvironment.4. Area study takes as its objectivethe description of places, thespatially correlated similaritiesamong places within a region,and the differences andinteractions between regionsor between a place and its surroundingregion.Geographers represent geographicspace with maps, and thusgeographers are very concernedwith map use and design. The designof maps may often involve theapplication of cognitive psychology,statistics, and mathematics. Thedevelopment of Geographic InformationSystems has revolutionizedthe mapping of statistics andmade possible the rapid productionof specialized maps for decisionmakers.Because of these wide interests,geographers must acquire trainingin quantitative methods, field techniques,computer technology, datahandling and analysis, cartographicdisplays and production, and writtenand verbal communicationskills. In addition, interdisciplinarywork often is necessary in such areasas economics, computer science,psychology, geology, mathematics,marketing, statistics, informationsystems, and environmentalsciences.Degrees Offered••••Undergraduate: B.A., MinorConcentrations: GeographicInformation Systems, EarthSystems Science, Urban andRegional Analysis, and InternationalBusiness and World TradeCombined: B.A./M.A. in InternationalEconomic and BusinessGeographiesGraduate: M.A., M.S., Ph.D.Degree OptionsJoint and double majors with otherdepartments in the university areencouraged.

MitchellChairMatthew W. BeckerDirector of Undergraduate StudiesFor a listing of Geological Sciencesfaculty and course descriptions, see theUndergraduate Catalog Web site athttp://undergrad-catalog.buffalo.edu/academicprograms.About the ProgramGeology is the science of earth. Itis primarily based on the study ofmaterial exposed at earth’s surfaceand is therefore an outdoor sciencein the sense that most of its fundamentaldata must be gathered in theopen and most of the informationacquired in the laboratory mustultimately be evaluated in the field.The term ‘geology’ applies to numerousscientific subdisciplines (forexample, environmental geology,geochemistry, geophysics, hydrogeology,mineralogy, paleontology,planetary geology, stratigraphy,structural geology, volcanology)that interact with each other andcollectively focus on increasing ourknowledge of earth, the processesthat shape it, and our physical andevolutionary relations to earth andto its other inhabitants.Geologists apply their knowledgein a variety of ways. Someproblems geologists work on arestrictly practical: we use geophysics,geochemistry, and stratigraphicmapping skills in explorationfor mineral, water, and energyresources. We gauge the extent ofground water or soil pollution anddevise strategies for remediationusing sophisticated hydrologic,geochemical, or geophysical computermodels. We use knowledgeof volcanic eruptions and slopestability to reconstruct past naturaldisasters and, based on this, predictand protect against future threats.Geologists may also apply theirknowledge toward problems inbasic science: We analyze the magmaticactivity at mid-ocean ridgesthat forms the ocean floor, develophypotheses about the formation ofsurface features on Mars, and usecomputer models based on satelliteimages to predict large-scale Earthprocesses. We strive to understandthe interaction of Earth systemsand their linkage to the history oflife through the processes of evolutionto provide key insights into ourown history. All of the data in bothpractical and theoretical aspects ofgeology aid us in providing informationabout living consciouslyand using our resources wisely sothat governments and societies canmake informed decisions about ourstewardship of earth.Degrees Offered•••Undergraduate: B.A., B.S.,MinorCombined: B.A./M.A.Graduate: M.A., M.S., Ph.D.Degree OptionsThe Department of Geology offersboth a BA and BS degrees, andmaintains a strong undergraduateresearch program. The curriculumfor both degrees includes coursesof instruction in the major areasof modern geology, with emphasison field and laboratory studies andtheir quantitative interpretation.The department also conducts acomprehensive month-long summergeological mapping course -with field sites located in Colorado,Utah, and Wyoming—to integrateall that students have learned.Our BS program is designed forstudents who enter directly intogeology-related employment upongraduation (e.g., energy resources,environmental consulting, stateor national geological surveys),as well as for those who continueon to graduate school. The B.A.program offers more flexibilityin coursework and is designedfor students interested in careersoutside of geology that require astrong geological background, suchas environmental law, high schoolearth-science teaching, governmentpolicy, and nature writing.The geology departmentalso offers a combined BA/MAprogram designed to be completedin five years, compared to the sixyears needed for completion ofa conventional BA followed byan MA. This program is designedfor students interested in careersoutside of geology but requiringgraduate-level schooling. Any geol-ogy major who meets the requirements(see the combined BA/MAprogram chart) may apply to thecombined program during thesecond semester of their junior yearin the BA program.AdvisementAt the time of a student’s acceptanceinto the Geology department,the Director of UndergraduateStudies becomes the student’s academicadvisor. When the studentreaches junior status in the department,he/she may be reassigned toan advisor whose specialty coincideswith that student’s interests.Students must meet with theiradvisor at least once a semester priorto registering for the followingsemester. At the time of the advisementappointment, the student’sacademic record (all university,general education, and departmentalrequirements) is reviewed andany concerns are discussed.Transfer PolicyThe Department of Geology hasarticulation agreements with severalcolleges in the region. Studentsshould consult with the advisementoffice at their present college formore details. The College of Artsand Sciences Student Advisementand Services Office at UB also maybe consulted. To request a transferof credit for a geology course notlisted at either advisement office,submit a request to the director ofundergraduate studies along with acourse description from the collegecatalog and a course syllabus.ACADEMIC PROGRAMS OF STUDYUniversity at Buffalo • Undergraduate Catalog 2007-08 107

NochajskiProgram DirectorFor a listing of Occupational Therapyfaculty and course descriptions, see theUndergraduate Catalog Web site athttp://undergrad-catalog.buffalo.edu/academicprograms.About the ProgramThe Occupational Therapy Program,as part of the RehabilitationScience Department in the Schoolof Public Health and Health Professionsat the University at Buffalo,is based on the philosophical beliefthat people have a vital need for occupation.Occupation is defined asthe meaningful and productive waysin which people use their time. Itincludes activities such as self-care,play, learning, work, and leisure. Aperson’s engagement in occupationsfulfills four primary functions: (1)to acquire skills and behaviors necessaryfor insuring one’s survival,(2) to achieve a sense of quality inone’s life, (3) to contribute to theprogress and well-being of society,and (4) to promote one’s personalphysical and mental well-being.The ability to engage in occupationand realize these four functionsmay be compromised as a resultof illness, disability, or other lifecircumstances.A fundamental principle of theOccupational Therapy Program isthat human beings learn and adaptthrough active engagement in occupations.Learning and adaptationoccurs when a person receivesinformation from his or her senses,processes it, and compares it withknowledge and experience previouslyobtained. Through repetitionof these experiences, new behaviorsare demonstrated and used. Thesefundamental concepts are appliedto the clients that we prepare ourstudents to work with, as well as tothe students themselves.Clients who receive occupationaltherapy services are engaged in active,meaningful occupational activities.Following observation, evaluation,and consultation with theclient and family, therapists chooseactivities that are appropriate forthe individual’s developmental level,skill level, and the environmentin which the client will function.This is done to enable the client tomove towards occupational goalsand a greater degree of health andindependence.The entry-level professionalOccupational Science/OccupationalTherapy program is a fiveyear combined BS/MS program.Preceding their professional preparation,students receive a liberal artseducation in their pre-professionalstudies. The professional program,structured to prepare students forpersonal and professional development,is flexible enough to meet theneeds and interests of individualstudents while still ensuring thatupon graduation they will be competentto enter the profession.Professional-level classes beginin the summer immediately precedingthe junior year. The ten-weeksummer program includes ANA407 Gross Human Anatomy (6credit hours), which meets dailyfor eight weeks, and OT 351 OTPractice Skills I (2 credit hours),which continues for ten days followingANA 407. Three additionalacademic semesters and a summerat the undergraduate level providelearning experiences structuredto integrate theory and practice.During the second semester of thefourth year, students progress tothe MS component of the program.At this time, students register forsix months of full-time supervisedfieldwork experience.Students choose fieldwork sitesby a lottery system and in consultationwith the fieldwork director.Additional fieldwork experiences insuch specialized areas of practiceas developmental disabilities, substanceabuse, and ergonomics areavailable as electives. The programmaintains clinical affiliation agreementswith more than 150 healthcarefacilities throughout the UnitedStates for student placement.Students should expect to leave theWestern New York area to fulfillthis requirement. Upon completionof fieldwork, students return to thecampus for the fifth year of theprogram. Students must completeall requirements of the professionalcomponent of the program, includingfieldwork and the graduateresearch project, within a five-yeartime period.Degrees Offered• Combined: B.S./M.S. inOccupational Science/Occupational Therapy• Graduate: M.S. in OccupationalTherapy, Graduate Certificatein Assistive/RehabilitationTechnologyDegree OptionsStudents are awarded the combinedBS/MS degree in occupationalscience/occupational therapy uponcompletion of all program anduniversity requirements.

Thissubject has a fascinating history andcontinues to be relevant in moderntimes. Pharmacology deals with anumber of questions, for example:What is the molecular site of action?What are the changes causedby a drug in the normal functionof tissues and organs? What isthe relationship between the doseof a drug and its effect? How dodrugs produce their effects? Whathappens to drugs once they enterthe body? Since a drug is traditionallydefined as a chemical thatinteracts with living systems, thissubject has a very broad relevancefrom its obvious importance in thediagnosis and treatment of diseaseto the impact of abused substancesor environmental chemicals onhealth. Students in the departmentare encouraged to do researchprojects with the faculty who haveinterdisciplinary research interestsin neuropharmacology, behavioralpharmacology, toxicology, pharmacogenomics& toxicogenomics.The broad academic backgroundprovides students with awide array of career opportunities.Many graduates enter medical ordental schools or pursue graduatestudies in pharmacology or otherbiochemical sciences. Pharmacologygraduates find employment intechnical, production/analytical, orsales positions as research scientistsor drug information specialistsin the pharmaceutical industry,government, university laboratories,and hospitals. Students have alsopursued careers in law and managementfollowing completion of theirBS degree in pharmacology.Degrees Offered•••Undergraduate: B.S., MinorCombined: B.S./M.S.Graduate: M.A., Ph.D., M.D./Ph.D.Degree OptionsIn addition to the BS program,the department offers a combinedBS/MS degree that provides thelaboratory research training andadvanced courses needed forentry-level professional positionsin the pharmaceutical industry andin academia.

CampbellChairFor a listing of Political Science facultyand course descriptions, see the UndergraduateCatalog Web site at http://undergrad-catalog.buffalo.edu/academicprograms.About the ProgramIn political science, students havea wide variety of backgrounds,interests, and career aspirations. Asour range of possible concentrationsin the department suggests,students interested in law school,public affairs, government service,graduate school, or internationalstudies obtain a solid backgroundwith the courses offered. Ofcourse, the core or basic concentrationallows students the mostflexibility in designing a curriculumto meet individual needs. Manypolitical science majors go on toobtain advanced degrees in law orpolitical science. Some studentsbuild upon their internship experiencesto pursue careers in politicsor government.Degrees Offered•••Undergraduate: B.A., MinorConcentrations: Advanced,American Politics and PublicAffairs, Comparative, General,International, and Public LawGraduate: M.A., M.A./J.D.,Ph.D., Ph.D./J.D.Degree OptionsGeneral ConcentrationFor those majors with general interestsin politics and government.This program allows majors themost flexibility in choosing coursesto match individual interests fromthe five fields of American politics,comparative politics, internationalrelations, methods of inquiry, andpolitical philosophy. The intentbehind the core requirements is togive every student the breadth tounderstand political issues, theories,and concepts, along with theneeded skills for interpreting anddoing political research.Public Law ConcentrationSpecifically for students who planto attend law school. Students whocomplete the core concentration inpolitical science are not precludedfrom applying to law school; however,the public law concentrationrepresents the department’s bestcollective recommendations for astructured undergraduate plan.American Politics and PublicAffairs ConcentrationPrepares students for careers inpublic service or political organizations,and provides a solidbackground for the more than 15million employment opportunitiesin local, state, or federal government.An internship is considered auseful part of this option.International PoliticsConcentrationStudents planning careers in theinternational field are encouragedto pursue this concentration.Comparative PoliticsConcentrationStudents planning careers in thecomparative field are encouraged topursue this concentration.Advanced ConcentrationStudents with excellent undergraduaterecords are likely to be successfulapplicants to graduate school;however, the department recommendsthis particular concentrationto provide the best preparation forthe top graduate programs in politicalscience. A foundation in theareas of research design, mathematics,formal modeling, and statisticsmake the transition to a graduateprogram much easier. In addition,upper division courses that enablestudents to execute independentresearch projects and write researchessays are highly recommended.Double majors must satisfy allof the requirements of two departments.Joint majors combine the programsin two departments, subjectto the specific requirements in each.A student pursuing political scienceas a joint major is restricted to thecore concentration, and must completeeight courses in political science,including PSC 100, PSC 101,one methods of inquiry course,four courses at the 300-level orabove (three must be courses otherthan PSC 400, PSC 404, PSC410,PSC 411, PSC 491, or PSC 499),and at least one course in comparativepolitics, international relations,or political philosophy.Minors in political sciencemust complete the three requiredcourses, PSC 100, PSC 101, andPSC 200 or PSC 393 or PSC 408;three upper-division courses, oneof which must be in internationalrelations, comparative politics, orpolitical philosophy; and one additionalpolitical science course inany field or at any level.AdvisementAfter acceptance into the major orminor, students may consult with adepartmental advisor for assistancein understanding departmental anduniversity requirements for thedegree. Advisor office hours areposted at the department office,520 Park Hall.Acceptance InformationStudents should apply for admissionto the major in political scienceno later than the beginning of theirjunior year. To become eligible,students must have completedtwo political science courses witha minimum GPA of 2.0, and havea minimum UB GPA of 2.0. Applicantsshould bring a copy oftheir current UB DARS reportdirectly to the Department of PoliticalScience.

Thelargest numbers of Portuguesespeakers are found in Portugal,Brazil, Mozambique, Angola,Guinea-Bissau, Cape Verde, andthe United States. Over the years,writers working in Portuguese havemade major contributions to worldliterature. Students will find thatmastery of a Romance language(e.g., Spanish, French, Italian) willfacilitate development of proficiencyin Portuguese.Career Opportunities/Further StudyStudents with a variety of majorscan enhance their career opportunitiesby developing proficiencyin Portuguese and knowledge ofLuso-Brazilian culture. Individualswith such qualifications canexplore job possibilities with U.S.corporations doing business in thePortuguese-speaking world.About Pre-Dentistry atUBIn the United States and Canada,dentistry is a four-year doctorallevel program that prepares menand women for the practice ofgeneral dentistry or entry into oneof the specialty training programsin dentistry. With the anticipatedshortage of dentists in the UnitedStates in the near future, there willbe an increased demand for dentiststhroughout the country.Few colleges or universities havea specific pre-dental program, andthis is true of UB as well. Most studentspursuing a career in dentistrychoose a major area of study in thebiological sciences. The latter’s degreerequirements generally includeall the prerequisite courses necessaryto enroll in a D.D.S. program.However, it is not necessary tochoose a major in the sciences. If astudent chooses a major outside thebiological sciences, he or she is advisedto complete additional coursework in biology beyond the prerequisitecourses, specifically in areassuch as biochemistry, microbiology,histology, molecular biology, andcellular biology. Courses in biologyat the molecular or microscopiclevel provide excellent preparationfor the basic science course workduring the first two years of dentalschool.Degrees Offered• Combined: B.S./D.D.S.

The study ofpsychology provides an understandingof basic processes of sensation,perception, learning, cognition,development, and personality alongwith principles of social psychology,clinical psychology, and behavioralneuroscience. Knowledgeof psychological principles and ofscientific methods for evaluatingtheories and research in the socialand behavioral sciences is essentialin our rapidly changing society.The requirements for thepsychology major are designed toprovide students with foundationalskills in statistics (PSY 207) andscientific methods (PSY 250) thatare essential for subsequent courseworkin psychology. The additionalrequirements for the psychologymajor are intended to introducestudents to the great breadth ofpsychology as a scientific discipline;therefore, students are required tocomplete courses in four complementaryareas of psychology. Asecond course in research methods(PSY 450) and experience inpsychological research (PSY 498)are recommended for students whoplan to pursue graduate study inpsychology.Degrees Offered••Undergraduate: B.A., B.S.Graduate: M.A., Ph.D.Degree OptionsThe BA degree allows studentsto pursue diverse interests whileobtaining a strong foundationin the behavioral sciences. Therequirements and flexibility of thisprogram readily allow students topursue double majors or multipleminors to complement theirinterests in psychology. At thesame time, the requirements forthe BA degree program ensure thatstudents have a solid foundationfor advanced training in a variety ofdisciplines.The BS degree in psychologyprovides students with a challengingundergraduate major that includesa strong science-training component.The basic goal is to providea program that emphasizes the scientificfoundations of psychologyto prepare students for advancedtraining in psychology, medicine,cognitive science, neuroscience, andother related disciplines. The BSdegree program is explicitly aimedat helping prepare students forgraduate study in the sciences andscience-based professions. Evenif students do not continue theireducation at the graduate level, thebackground in science and mathematicsthat is part of this programprovides students with knowledgeand skills that broaden their careeropportunities.

Such concentrationsinclude religious studies, nutrition,criminology, comparative literature,and arts management.Degrees Offered• Undergraduate: B.A., B.S.Degree OptionsBoth BA and BS degrees in specialstudies may be awarded. BFA degreeSpecial Major concentrationsmay not be proposed.The proposed academic programmust be unique; that is, theprogram may not duplicate the majorcontent in any degree-grantingacademic department, nor may it bedesigned to avoid the requirementsof existing departmental majors.Special majors may be developedwith another major as a doublemajor or a double degree.Special majors in areas thatrequire licensure or professionalcertification may not be proposed.Additionally, special majors maynot suggest that the student isacquiring professional competenceas a therapist; for example, majorconcentrations titled Art Therapy,Psychotherapy, and the like areprohibited.Most special majors comprisebetween 36 and 50 credits. Thecoursework must reflect bothbreadth and depth in the student’stopical area. Faculty mentorschosen to assist the student in thedevelopment of the special majormust have expertise in the chosenarea and must be appointed at leastat the assistant professor level in atenure-track appointment.The Special Major does notguarantee access into major coursesin departments that limit theirenrollments to majors only. It is thestudent’s responsibility to negotiatewith the respective departments forthose courses which are integral tothe proposed major concentration.AdvisementStudents interested in the SpecialMajor Program should first consultwith their academic advisors andthe special major advisor, who willfamiliarize them with the stepsnecessary to complete the program.These steps include drafting astatement of intent and purpose,selecting mentors, developing a curriculumwith mentors, preparing thespecial major proposal, submittingthe proposal to the Special MajorCommittee, redrafting the proposalif necessary, completing universityrequirements, and completing theDegree Audit Card. If studentshave difficulty composing the Statementof Intent, they should ask forhelp and may want to consult theWriting Place within the ThomasJ. Edwards Learning Center (209ABaldy Hall, 716-645-2394, http://tlc.buffalo.edu/lcwrite.htm).Acceptance InformationStudents interested in pursuing thespecial major should define theirown major area, submit a statementof intent, find faculty sponsors andconsult with them on proposal development,prepare a proposal thatstructures the major curriculum,and gain approval of the proposalfrom the Special Major Committee.Students are urged to submitproposals in their junior year, andno later than a full semester beforegraduation. Submitting proposalsin the last semester of the student’smatriculation or submittingproposals after the completion ofall coursework violates the specialmajor’s essential deliberative andconsultative nature. The committeeis not obliged to consider proposalswhich are submitted ex post facto.Any proposal submitted in thestudent’s last semester must be accompaniedby a petition explainingthe late submission.Most special majors reflect aninordinately high number of creditsin the major. As an academic optionwithin the College of Arts andSciences, the special major musthave a minimum of 36 credits supportingthe major concentration. A2.0 GPA is the minimum GPA forspecial majors.A special major student is onewho has had the proposal approvedby the Special Majors Committee.The committee evaluates proposalsthat have been submitted onthe student’s behalf by the chairof the committee, who is a senioracademic adviser in the College ofArts and Sciences Student AdvisementServices office in 275 ParkHall.
