Undergraduate Readmission
Requirements
If you have previously attended ASU but have not been enrolled at ASU for one semester or more you must apply for
readmission. An applicant for readmission must have an ASU GPA of 2.0 or higher, depending on the ASU school or college.
Students who do not meet this GPA requirement may appeal. In these cases, the completed application for readmission may be
subject to a due date that is earlier than the application deadline.
Students who are disqualified and students whose GPA is below a 2.0 and are applying for a major in a different college than the
one last attended must submit an Application for Reinstatement. If you were not in good academic standing when you left ASU,
call 480.965.7550 (Downtown Phoenix, Polytechnic and Tempe) or 602.543.8160 (West).
If you have attended another school since you attended ASU, see a brief FAQ, http://students.asu.edu/transferring-credit-asu
about transferring college credit to ASU.
Preferential Application Deadlines
Fall Semester 2009
ASU’s preferential readmission application deadline for Fall Semester is June 1, 2009. Readmission applications received after
June 1 will be considered on a space-available basis. Space is limited in some programs and admission to these programs is more
competitive.
Summer Semester 2009
Preferential deadline is May 1, 2009
What needs to be submitted by the deadline?
You must submit the Application for Undergraduate Admission, along with the application fee, by the deadline specified for each
semester. In order to expedite the evaluation of your application, also submit official transcripts, test scores and supporting
credentials immediately.
I previously attended ASU. Am I a readmission student or a transfer student?
If you have previously attended ASU as a degree-seeking student, you will be considered a readmission student.
I was previously admitted to ASU but did not attend. Am I a readmission student or a transfer student?
If you have previously been admitted to ASU but did not attend, you will be considered a freshman student,
http://students.asu.edu/freshman/requirements, or a transfer student, http://students.asu.edu/transfer-admissions-information.

Request that an official transcript be sent directly from your school(s) to Undergraduate Admissions. Upon completion of the
semester, request that a final transcript be sent directly to ASU to determine final admission status. A student who does not meet
readmission requirements for his/her selected major must submit complete transcripts before an admissions decision is made.
Students need only submit transcripts from institutions other than ASU. NOTE: Receipt of your final transcript impacts financial
aid disbursement and eligibility to register for future classes.
All applicants on F1 or J1 visas must provide a Financial Guarantee to show evidence of sufficient funds available for their
studies before the application can be processed. In addition, US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) requires ASU to
obtain additional information prior to processing your visa application. You must go to My ASU, http://my.asu.edu/, and login,
and then update address information showing Local and SEVIS addresses (list current US address as Local Address; add home
country address as SEVIS Address). Please note that if you are readmitted, you must still meet all deadlines associated with the
issuance of an I-20 to attend ASU. These deadlines are dependent upon your current location. Contact the International Student
Office at ASU for immigration information at 480.965.7451 or ISO@asu.edu.

Admission Before Receipt of Final Transcript
Applicants enrolled in other colleges and universities may be considered for readmission on the basis of meeting all readmission
requirements, except for a final transcript of work in progress. This final transcript must be sent to Undergraduate Admissions
directly from the issuing institution immediately after the work in progress has been completed. Transcripts carried by hand are
not accepted. Admission is official only after the final transcript has been received showing that the applicant has met the
university readmission requirements. In the event the applicant does not qualify or has falsified application documents,
readmission and registration are canceled, and any registration fees paid are returned according to university refund policies.
Academic Renewal
Academic renewal is a university policy administered for the purpose of recalculating the ASU cumulative GPA of
undergraduate students who have been readmitted to a degree program after an absence of at least five continuous calendar years,
including summer sessions, and who have completed in good standing a minimum of 12 college-approved additional hours in
residence within three semesters after reentry. Students may have the former academic record before the five-year absence
(including transfer credits) accepted in the same manner as if the credits were transfer credits. That is, earned hours are carried

2008-09 Academic Catalog 37

forward for up to 60 hours of credit in which a grade of "C" (2.00) or higher was earned. The cumulative GPA is based only on
credits earned subsequent to the student's reentry. All graduation residency, academic recognition residency, and GPA
requirements must be fulfilled after academic renewal. A request for academic renewal follows this procedure:
Students interested in academic renewal must request the Application for Academic Renewal from the Recording/readmission
Section of the University registrar's Office or the dean of the college offering the major.
The Application for Academic Renewal may be submitted immediately upon readmission but no later than the start of the third
semester after readmission.
The Application for Academic Renewal is submitted by the student to the dean of the college offering the major.
The dean specifies in advance a minimum of 12 semester hours.
When the approve credits are completed with a cumulative GPA of 2.50 or higher, and no grade lower than "C" (2.00) in each
course, the dean forwards the Application for Academic Renewal to the University Registrar's Office for processing
Only students working toward their first undergraduate degree are eligible to apply for academic renewal, which may be effected
only once during a student's academic career. Academic renewal is transferable among colleges. All students with ASU GPAs
below 2.00 are eligible to petition for academic renewal. Individual colleges may elect to entertain petitions for academic renewal
from students with ASU GPAs above 2.00. College standards committees have final authorization on academic renewal petitions.
Eligibility for graduation is based on ASU cumulative GPA after academic renewal. However, a student's complete record-before
and after academic renewal-remains on the transcript and may be taken into consideration when a student applies for
undergraduate professional or graduate programs

Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC)
The Arizona public community colleges and universities have agreed upon a common structure for a general education core. This
curriculum provides students attending any Arizona public community college with the opportunity to build a general education
program that is transferable to any other state institution without loss of credit. This common agreement is called the Arizona
General Education Curriculum (AGEC).
The AGEC is composed of 35 semester hours of lower-division general education course work in which a student may prepare
for transfer.
The AGEC has three forms: AGEC-A, AGEC-B, and AGEC-S. Refer to www.az.transfer.org/cas/atass/student/agec.html [1] for
a detailed description of each AGEC.
Community colleges are responsible for certifying the date of completion of the AGEC on the official institutional transcripts.
Completion of the appropriate AGEC will fulfill university lower-division general education requirements of the baccalaureate
degree with which the AGEC articulates but may not apply to degrees articulated with the Transfer Guide Pathway TG-XR.
Students completing the AGEC will still be required to fulfill lower-division program requirements and prerequisites within their
college and major/minor area of study. To complete a degree program most efficiently, students should select courses that
concurrently satisfy AGEC and major requirements.
Completion of any AGEC guarantees admission to the university provided that a GPA of 2.00 (for Arizona residents) or 2.50 (for
nonresidents) has been achieved. AGEC completion, however, does not guarantee admission to any specific university program.
Many majors (e.g., architecture, engineering, business, fine/creative arts, or health professions) have significant prerequisites
and/or program requirements that must be completed before a student may be admitted to upper-division course work.
Community college students who are undecided about which of the universities they plan to attend or what program of study they
intend to pursue are advised to explore educational options while they complete the AGEC. In all cases, students have the
responsibility for selecting general education course work that is relevant to the requirements of their intended major and degree.
Students who complete both the AGEC and an approved associate’s degree will be assigned junior-class standing by the state
universities. Junior-class standing is based on the number of semester credits a student has earned and does not necessarily
indicate the remaining number of semester credits needed to complete degree requirements. Course prerequisites, major
requirements, and upper-division requirements continue to be specified by each university. Appropriate sequencing of courses
and timely completion of course prerequisites are essential to ensure efficient progress toward a baccalaureate degree. Students
who have identified the university they plan to attend and/or a major area of study are advised to fulfill requirements and
prerequisites identified by these programs through transfer guides and/or curriculum check sheets provided by the state
universities. The AGEC does not replace articulation agreements developed to enhance the transfer process between specific
institutions, e.g., Associate Transfer Partnership Degrees (ATP). Nor does the AGEC eliminate the possibility that students who
have identified the university they plan to attend and/or a major area of study will follow transfer guides provided by the state
universities.

2008-09 Academic Catalog 43

Course Load and Concurrent Enrollment
Course
A minimum full-time course load for an undergraduate student is 12 semester hours. The maximum course load for which a
student may register is 18 semester hours (with the exception of a 19-hour maximum for students enrolled in the College of
Design or Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering). A student wishing to register for more than the maximum must petition the
standards committee of the college in which the student is enrolled and must obtain an approved overload before registration.

Summer Session Semester Hour Load
The summer session semester hour load limit is seven semester hours for each five-week session and nine semester hours for the
eight-week session. The student may not exceed a total of 14 semester hours for any combination of sessions.

Reserving of Course Credit by Undergraduates
ASU undergraduate students who have achieved senior status (cannot be post-baccalaureate) with a cumulative GPA of 3.00 or
higher may reserve up to nine semester hours of graduate level course work. Only reserved courses with a grade of “B” (3.00) or
higher may be included on a graduate plan of study. Reserved courses cannot be used to meet any baccalaureate graduation
requirements. Before registering for these courses, the student must submit a Graduate College petition form that is signed by the
student’s undergraduate advisor, the head of the academic unit offering the class and the Graduate College dean. Permission to
reserve a course does not guarantee admission to a graduate degree program or that the course may be used toward graduate
degree requirements.

Concurrent Enrollment
Provided that the other institution’s regulations concerning enrollment, graduation requirements, and transfer of credits are not
violated, a student may enroll in classes at other institutions or in independent learning courses while enrolled at ASU. However,
the student is urged to seek advising before concurrent enrollment to assure orderly progress toward a degree. If total credits
exceed the maximum course load, prior permission must be granted by the college standards committee.

Enrollment Verification Guidelines
The registrar is responsible for verifying enrollment according to general guidelines, see Enrollment Verification [1].
Source URL: http://catalog.asu.edu/course_load
Links:
[1] http://students.asu.edu/enrollment-verification

Credit by Examination
No more than 60 hours of credit are awarded for any or all programs, including ASU comprehensive and proficiency
examinations. Credit will not be awarded for any course in which the student has been given credit from any educational
institution. Credit will not be granted for a course taken at an educational institution after credit by examination has been
awarded.

2008-09 Academic Catalog 44

Exception: Students who take the advanced placement exams, however, may choose either 1) to have the credit earned by
advanced placement kept in their cumulative University hours or 2) to complete the ASU course and have its credit and grade
instead, regardless of which order the test or course are taken. (See the Advanced Placement section below for additional details
on the exam and its equivalent scores.) Credit may not be received for a lower-level or prerequisite course when credit has
already been received in a higher-level course within the same field. In these categories, only credit earned by comprehensive
examination will count toward the resident credit requirement for graduation.

Advanced Placement
Students who have taken an advanced placement (AP) course of the College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB) in their
secondary school and who have taken an AP Examination of the CEEB may receive university credit. No credit is given for any
examination with a score of 2 or 1. There is no limit to the number of AP credits that can be used to meet the General Studies
requirement, including the requirements in natural sciences (SQ and SG) and literacy and critical inquiry (L).
When the scores are received by the university directly from the CEEB, credit is awarded as shown in the Advanced Placement
Credit table below.

College-Level Examination Program (CLEP)
Students who have taken a College-Level Examination of the College Entrance Examination Board may receive university credit.
The table of CLEP credit applies to all students enrolled in the university for the first time in August 1975 and any student
enrolling thereafter. CLEP examination credit is not given where it duplicates credit previously earned by the student at the
university or accepted by the university for work done elsewhere. All examinations are given monthly by University Testing
Services.
The General Studies requirement in natural science (SQ and SG) and literacy and critical inquiry (L) are not satisfied by CLEP.
There is no limit to the number of CLEP credits that can be used to fulfill the other parts of the General Studies requirement. A
student who has received ASU credit for a course due to Special Programs credit may not duplicate the credit by enrolling in the
same class for credit at ASU or transferring it to another institution.
Subject Examinations

2008-09 Academic Catalog 46

To obtain credit or placement for all subject exams except English, French, German, and Spanish, a student must receive a score

DSST
Students who have taken a DSST (DANTES [Defense Activity for Nontraditional Education Support] Subject Standardized Test)
may receive university credit. Credit is awarded for score results at or above the American Council on Education’s recommended
score if the subject examination is applicable to a program of study at ASU or may be assigned elective credit. To receive credit,
a transcript showing the DSST results must be received by ASU directly from the Educational Testing Service.

International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma/Certificate
Students who present an International Baccalaureate Diploma/Certificate may qualify for university credit, depending on the
level of the examination and the grade received. Arizona State University grants credit for higher-level courses only. A grade of 5
qualifies the student to receive credit for up to two introductory courses while a grade of 4 qualifies a student to receive credit for
one introductory course. No credit is awarded for English as a Second Language (English B). Credit is awarded according to the
International Baccalaureate Diploma/Certificate Credit table below.

Comprehensive Examinations
A comprehensive examination is intended to permit a student to establish academic credit in a field in which the student has
gained experience or competence equivalent to an established university course. Applications are given only for courses listed in
the current catalog and only for courses in which a comprehensive examination can serve as a satisfactory measure of
accomplishment.
A number of restrictions apply. The student must be enrolled at ASU with no more than 100 semester hours of credit earned
(includes credits earned at ASU, credits transferred to ASU from another institution, and all credits earned by examination). The
examinations must be taken during the first two semesters in residence in a degree program at the university.
The decision on the suitability of course material for a comprehensive examination, the development of a comprehensive
examination, and the administration of an examination are strictly departmental functions. An application is for one course only.
The student should complete an application form with the number, title, and number of semester hours for the course. When
completed, the application must be approved by the student’s advisor and the chair of the department responsible for offering the
course.
The student must then pay the stated fee for such examinations at Cashiering Services. The receipt must be taken to the
departmental office.
The examination is prepared by the instructor who normally conducts the course, and it is comprehensive in nature and scope.
The instructor and other experts designated by the chair grade the examination, using letter grades “A+,” “A,” “A-,” “B+,” “B,”
“B-,” “C+,” “C,” “D,” or “E.” If the grade is “C” or higher, a mark of “Y” is entered on the student’s permanent record;

2008-09 Academic Catalog 49

otherwise, no entry is made. Credit by examination is indicated as such on the record. The student is notified by mail of the result
of the examination. In cases of failure (“D” or “E”), the student is not given an opportunity to repeat the examination.
A student pursuing a second baccalaureate degree may not receive credit by comprehensive examination, but with prior approval
of the college, the student may use the examination to waive a course requirement if a grade of “C” or higher is earned.

Proficiency Examinations
Proficiency examinations and auditions are given
1. to waive a course requirement;
2. to validate certain transfer credits in professional programs; and
3. to determine a student’s ability in a field where competence is an important consideration.
4.
Detailed information may be obtained from the dean’s office of the college in which the student is registered.

Placement and Testing Requirements

All new, transfer, or readmitted undergraduate students who plan to enroll for seven or more semester hours must meet one of the
following testing requirements. Students who fail to meet at least one of these requirements are not allowed to register for any
course the following semester:
1.

Take the ACT English or SAT verbal examination, and have scores submitted to ASU.

2.

Receive a score of 4 or 5 for the advanced placement examination in English offered by the College Entrance
Examination Board, and have scores submitted to ASU.

3.

Take the CLEP general examination in English Composition with Essay, earning a score that qualifies for placement in
ENG 105, and have scores submitted to ASU.

4.

Have previously taken ENG 101, 102, 105, 107, or 108 at ASU; or have previously earned a grade of “Y”; or be
currently enrolled in WAC 101 or 107 at ASU. If the course was taken before 1980, contact the Recording Section, in
SSV 142, before registering for classes.

5.

Transfer a course equivalent to ENG 101, 102, 105, 107, or 108 with a grade of “C” (2.00) or higher. An official
transcript showing the grade must be received at ASU. If a student transfers an equivalent composition course from a
public community college or university in Arizona, the equivalency is automatically posted, and the student need not
take further action. A student transferring a composition course from any other college or university must have the
course evaluated for equivalency. The student must take a copy of both the transfer transcript and the catalog
description of the course to the Writing Programs Office, in LL 314 (480/965-3853).

6.

International students from non-English-speaking countries must take ENG 107 (or WAC 107 followed by ENG 107
the second semester) in the first semester at ASU, unless they have taken and transferred an equivalent composition

2008-09 Academic Catalog 50

course from a college or university in the U.S. Such a course must be evaluated for equivalency by the Composition
Office.

Retention and Academic Standards

Class Standing
A student’s class standing is determined by the number of hours earned, as shown in the table below.
Class Standing
Student

Hours Earned

Freshman

24 or fewer semester hours earned

Sophomore

25 to 55 semester hours earned

Junior

56 to 86 semester hours earned

Senior

87 or more semester hours earned

Graduate

Bachelor’s degree from accredited institution

Academic Good Standing
For the purpose of retention, academic good standing for degree-seeking students is defined in the table below.
Academic Good Standing
Total Earned Hours

Minimum Cumulative GPA

24 or fewer

1.60

25 to 55

1.75

56 or more

2.00

A student who does not maintain the minimum GPA standard is placed on academic probation or is disqualified. A student on
academic probation is in conditional good standing and is permitted to enroll. A student who has been disqualified is not in
academic good standing and is not permitted to enroll for fall or spring semesters.
To transfer from one college to another within the university or to be eligible for readmission, a student must have an ASU GPA
of 2.00 or higher. The GPA determining good standing is computed on courses taken only at ASU.
For purposes of retention or transfer, an individual college may set higher GPA standards; otherwise, the university standards
prevail. See the college sections of this catalog or contact the college deans’ offices for statements regarding college retention
standards.

2008-09 Academic Catalog 51

Dean’s List
Undergraduate students who earn 12 or more graded semester hours (“A+,” “A,” “A-,” “B+,” “B,” “B-,” “C+,” “C,” “D,” or “E”)
during a semester in residence at ASU with a GPA of 3.50 or higher are eligible for the Dean’s List. A notation regarding Dean’s
List achievement appears on the unofficial transcript.
Satisfactory Academic Progress
The university is required to publish and enforce standards of satisfactory academic progress for certain students (e.g., student
athletes, students receiving financial aid, and students receiving veterans benefits).
Certification of satisfactory progress for student athletes is verified by the academic advisor and the dean’s designee for
certifying satisfactory progress. Certification of satisfactory progress for students receiving financial aid or veterans benefits is
verified by Student Financial Assistance or the Veterans Services section, respectively. Students should contact their advisors or
the appropriate office for additional information on satisfactory progress requirements.
Probation
A student’s college assumes responsibility for enforcing academic standards and may place on probation any student who has
failed to maintain good standing as previously defined. For purposes of probation and retention, an individual college may set
higher GPA standards. A student on academic probation is required to observe any rules or limitations the college may impose as
a condition for retention.
Ineligible
A student who is placed on ineligible status at the end of a semester is considered ineligible to continue in the college/school at
the end of the following semester even if the student meets ASU good standing requirements but not the conditions imposed for
retention by the college/school. At the close of the semester, a student deemed ineligible will receive a letter from the
college/school outlining options available for continuing at ASU in another college.
Ineligibility is exercised at the discretion of the college. An ineligible student is notified by the dean of the college and is not
allowed to register in a fall or spring semester at the university, unless arrangements are made to transfer to another college. A
student who has already registered for a future semester will be withdrawn from classes. An ineligible student who does not
change to a different major may not attend ASU. A student who is ineligible may apply for reinstatement to the college standards
committee. An ineligible student may not attend ASU as a nondegree student.
Disqualification
A student who is placed on probation at the end of a semester is subject to disqualification by the college/school at the end of the
following semester if the conditions imposed for retention are not met.
Disqualification is exercised at the discretion of the college/school. A disqualified student is notified by the dean of the college
and is not allowed to register in a fall or spring semester at the university. If the student has already registered for a future fall or
spring semester, the registration is cancelled. A student who has been disqualified may apply for reinstatement to the college
standards committee. A student who is disqualified may not attend as a nondegree student.
Reinstatement
A disqualified or ineligible student who has skipped a fall or spring semester must follow the procedures for readmission. See
Readmission to the University [1].
A disqualified or ineligible student who has not skipped a semester may submit an Application for Reinstatement to the college
of his or her major. If the student wishes to transfer to a different college, he or she may submit an Application for Reinstatement
to the college into which he or she wishes to transfer. An ineligible student who does not skip a fall or spring semester must
follow the ineligible procedures. See ineligible status.

2008-09 Academic Catalog 52

Academic Integrity
The highest standards of academic integrity are expected of all students. The failure of any student to meet these standards may
result in suspension or expulsion from the university or other sanctions as specified in the University Student Academic Integrity
Policy. Violations of academic integrity include, but are not limited to, cheating, fabrication, tampering, plagiarism, or facilitating
such activities. The University Student Academic Integrity Policy is available from the Office of the Executive Vice President
and Provost of the University and from the deans of the individual colleges.
Suspension or Expulsion for Academic Dishonesty
All decisions relating to expulsion or suspension that are concerned with academic dishonesty are the sole prerogative of the dean
of the school or college into which the student has been admitted. These decisions of suspension or expulsion can be appealed in
accordance with established university procedures. Application for reinstatement may be made to any of the academic units
within the university after the specified period of suspension. Merely having remained in a suspended status for a period of time
does not, in itself, constitute a basis for reinstatement.

University Policy for Student Appeal Procedures on Grades

Informal
The steps outlined on this page, beginning with step A, must be followed by any student seeking to appeal a grade. Student grade
appeals must be processed in the regular semester immediately following the issuance of the grade in dispute (by commencement
for fall or spring), regardless of whether the student is enrolled at the university. It is university policy that students filing
grievances and those who are witnesses are protected from retaliation. Students who believe they are victims of retaliation should
immediately contact the dean of the college in which the course is offered.
A. The aggrieved student must first undergo the informal procedure of conferring with the instructor, stating the evidence, if any,
and reasons for questioning that the grade received was not given in good faith. The instructor is obliged to review the matter,
explain the grading procedure used, and show how the grade in question was determined. If the instructor is a graduate assistant
and this interview does not resolve the difficulty, the student may then go to the faculty member in charge of the course (regular
faculty member or director of the course sequence) with the problem.
B. If the grading dispute is not resolved in step A, the student may appeal to the department chair or other appropriate chair of the
area within the department (if any). The department chair may confer with the instructor to handle the problem. Step B applies
only in departmentalized colleges.
C. If these discussions are not adequate to settle the matter to the complainant’s satisfaction, the student may then confer with the
dean of the college concerned (or the dean-designate), who will review the case. If unresolved, the dean or designate may refer
the case to the college academic grievance hearing committee to review the case formally. In most instances, however, the
grievance procedure does not go beyond this level.

2008-09 Academic Catalog 53

Formal
The following procedure takes place after steps A, B, and C (or A and C) have been completed.
D. Each college has on file in the office of the dean (and in each department of the college) the procedures and composition of
the undergraduate or graduate academic grievance hearing committee for student grievances. Each college committee shall
operate under grievance procedures as stated, which satisfy due process requirements. The committee shall always meet with the
student and the instructor in an attempt to resolve the differences. At the conclusion of the hearing, the committee shall send its
recommendations to the dean.
E. Final action in each case will be taken by the dean after full consideration of the committee’s recommendation. Grade changes,
if any are recommended, may be made by the dean. The dean shall inform the student, instructor, department chair (if any),
registrar, and grievance committee of any action taken.

University Undergraduate General Studies Requirements
A baccalaureate education should not only prepare students for a particular profession or advanced study, but for constructive and
satisfying personal, social and civic lives as well. In addition to depth of knowledge in a particular academic or professional
discipline, students should also be broadly educated and develop the general intellectual skills they need to continue learning
throughout their lives. Thus, the General Studies requirement complements the undergraduate major by helping students gain
mastery of critical learning skills, investigate the traditional branches of knowledge, and develop the broad perspective that frees
one to appreciate diversity and change across time, culture, and national boundaries.
Critical learning skills include proficiency in the use of language, mathematics and quantitative methods as tools for acquiring,
renewing, creating and communicating knowledge. A broad education includes an understanding of the methods and concerns of
traditional branches of knowledge—the arts and humanities, the social sciences, and the natural sciences. Developing perspective
requires historical, global and cross-cultural examination of knowledge of all kinds.
General Studies requirements are composed of courses in five core areas and three awareness areas. The courses are approved by
the General Studies council and are noted in the course schedule [1] for each academic term. General Studies courses are
regularly reviewed and are occasionally added to and deleted from the list. Students should always consult the Schedule of
Classes [1] each semester to see which courses currently meet the General Studies requirement.
A student receives the General Studies credit that a course carries during the semester in which the course is taken.

Five Core Areas
L: Literacy and Critical Inquiry (Six Semester Hours)
Literacy is competence in written and oral discourse. Critical inquiry is the gathering, interpretation, and evaluation of evidence.
The literacy and critical inquiry requirement helps students sustain and extend their ability to reason critically and communicate
clearly through language.
Students must complete six semester hours from courses designated as L, at least three semester hours of which must be chosen
from approved upper-division courses, preferably in their major. Students must have completed ENG 101, 105, or 107 to take an
L course.

2008-09 Academic Catalog 54

MA and CS: Mathematical Studies (Combined Six Semester Hours)
This core area has two categories: (1) Mathematics (MA) is the acquisition of essential skill in basic mathematics and requires the
student to complete a course in college mathematics or precalculus or to demonstrate a higher level of skill by completing a
course for which college algebra is a prerequisite; and (2) computer/statistics/quantitative applications (CS) applies mathematical
reasoning and requires students to complete a course in either the use of statistics/quantitative analysis or the use of the computer
to assist in serious analytical math work.
This requirement has two parts: (1) at least three semester hours must be selected from courses designated MA, and at least three
semester hours must be selected from courses designated CS; and (2) all students are expected to fulfill the MA requirement by
the time they accumulate 30 hours of credit in residence at ASU. Any student who has more than 30 hours of resident ASU credit
and has not fulfilled the mathematics (MA) requirement must enroll in an MA course or an appropriate prerequisite and continue
to do so every semester until the mathematics requirement is met. College officers may grant waivers to the immediate and
continual enrollment requirement only when there are scheduling conflicts detrimental to the student’s academic progress.
HU: Humanities, Fine Arts, and Design and
SB: Social and Behavioral Sciences (Combined 15 Semester Hours)
The study of the humanities and the disciplines of art and design deepen awareness of the complexities of the human condition
and its diverse histories and cultures. Courses in the humanities are devoted to the productions of human thought and
imagination, particularly in philosophical, historical, religious, and artistic traditions. Courses with an emphasis in fine arts and
design are devoted to the study of aesthetic experiences and the processes of artistic creation. They may also feature a design
emphasis in which material culture is studied as a product of human thought and imagination.
The social and behavioral sciences provide scientific methods of inquiry and empirical knowledge about human behavior, within
society and individually. The forms of study may be cultural, economic, geographic, historical, linguistic, political, psychological
or social. The courses in this area address the challenge of understanding the diverse natures of individuals and cultural groups
who live together in a world of diminishing economic, linguistic, military, political and social distance.
A total of 15 semester hours must be completed in the following two core areas: (1) humanities, fine arts, and design (HU) and
(2) social and behavioral sciences (SB). Two conditions must be satisfied: (1) six semester hours must be taken in one of these
two core areas and nine hours in the other core area; and (2) three of the 15 semester hours must be at the upper-division level.
SQ and SG: Natural Sciences (Combined Eight Semester Hours)
The natural sciences help students appreciate the scope and limitations of science and its contributions to society. Natural science
areas of study include anthropology, astronomy, biology, biochemistry, chemistry, experimental psychology, geology,
microbiology, physical geography, physics and plant biology. Knowledge of methods of the scientific inquiry and mastery of
basic scientific principles and concepts are stressed, specifically those that relate to matter and energy in living and nonliving
systems. First-hand exposure to scientific phenomena in the laboratory is important in developing and understanding the
concepts, principles and vocabulary of science.
General Studies courses that satisfy the natural science requirement are given one of two classifications: quantitative (SQ) and
general (SG).
1.

Natural Science—Quantitative (SQ)
These laboratory courses include a substantial introduction to the fundamental behavior of matter and energy in
physical and biological systems.

2.

Natural Science—General (SG)
These laboratory courses cover aspects of scientific inquiry that lend themselves to more qualitative or descriptive
discussions of science.

2008-09 Academic Catalog 55

Eight semester hours of courses designated SQ or SG must be selected. Of these, at least four semester hours must be taken from
the SQ category.

Three Awareness Areas
Students must complete courses that satisfy three awareness areas. Courses that are listed for a core area and one or more
awareness areas may satisfy each of these requirements concurrently, up to a maximum of two of the awareness area(s) listed for
that course. The three awareness areas promote appreciation of cultural diversity within the contemporary United States, the
development of an international perspective, and an understanding of current human events through study of the past.
Cultural Diversity in the United States (C)
The objective of the cultural diversity (C) requirement is to promote awareness and appreciation of cultural diversity within the
contemporary United States. The objective is accomplished through the study of the cultural, social, or scientific contributions of
women and minority groups, examination of their experiences in the United States, or exploration of successful or unsuccessful
interactions between and among cultural groups. Awareness of cultural diversity and its multiple sources can illuminate the
collective past, present and future and also help students to achieve greater mutual understanding and respect.
Global Awareness (G)
The objective of the global awareness (G) requirement is to help students recognize the need for an understanding of the values,
elements, and social processes of cultures other than that of the United States. The global awareness area includes courses that
recognize the nature of other contemporary cultures and the relationship of the American cultural system to generic human goals
and welfare.
Historical Awareness (H)
The objective of the historical awareness (H) requirement is to help students develop knowledge of the past that can be useful in
shaping the present and future. History is present in languages, art, music, literature, philosophy, religion, and the natural
sciences, as well as in the social science traditionally called history.

Meeting the General Studies Requirement
All students enrolled in a baccalaureate degree program must successfully complete a minimum of 35 semester hours of approved
General Studies courses. Many General Studies courses are approved as satisfying more than one requirement. The following
conditions govern the application of courses toward the General Studies requirement:
1.
2.
3.

A single course may be used to satisfy one core area and a maximum of two awareness area requirements;
A single course may be used to satisfy a maximum of two awareness area requirements;
A single course cannot be used to satisfy two core area requirements, even if it is approved for more than one core area.

There is no limit to the number of advanced placement (AP) or College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) credits that can be
used to meet the General Studies requirement; see Credit by Examination [2]. However, the natural sciences (SQ and SG) and
literacy and critical inquiry (L) portions of the General Studies requirement are not satisfied by CLEP.
Transfer Credit
The Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC), offered by Arizona community colleges, is composed of 35 semester hours
of lower-division general education course work. Students who complete the AGEC have fulfilled the ASU First-Year
Composition requirement and all lower-division portions of the General Studies requirement. Students must still take six upperdivision semester hours (three for L and three for SB or HU) to complete the ASU General Studies requirement. If students

2008-09 Academic Catalog 56

transfer from Arizona community colleges without completing the AGEC or from other accredited postsecondary institutions,
they receive credit for General Studies based on course-by-course equivalency. See Arizona General Education Curriculum
(AGEC) [3].
College or School and Major Requirements
In addition to General Studies requirements, students must also complete college or school and major requirements. Students are
encouraged to work with their academic advisors to develop a program of study that efficiently meets all graduation
requirements. A well-planned program should enable a student to concurrently satisfy requirements at the university, college, or
school levels and within their major.

University Undergraduate Graduation Requirements
All students enrolled in a baccalaureate degree program must fulfill the following university requirements to graduate.

Credit Requirements
A minimum of 120 semester hours is required for graduation with a baccalaureate degree. A minimum of 45 semester hours in
upper-division courses is required for graduation. Some programs may require more than 120 semester hours and 45 upperdivision semester hours for graduation; check the program's major map for graduation requirements.
No more than 60 semester hours in independent learning courses and/or earned by comprehensive examination (including
advanced placement, College-Level Examination Program, DANTES Subject Standardized Test, and International Baccalaureate
Diploma/Certificate exams) are accepted for credit toward the baccalaureate degree.

Grade Point Requirement
A minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.00 for all courses taken at ASU is required to graduate with a baccalaureate
degree. Some programs may require more than a 2.00; refer to the specific program's major map for graduation requirements.

General Studies Requirement
All students enrolled in a baccalaureate degree program must satisfy a university requirement of a minimum of 35 semester hours
of approved course work. See General Studies. [1]
Students transferring from Arizona community colleges with a certified completion of the appropriate Arizona General Education
Curriculum (AGEC) will have satisfied all lower-division General Studies requirements of the baccalaureate degree with which
the AGEC articulates. For more details regarding the different versions of AGEC, refer to
az.transfer.org/cas/atass/student/agec.html [2].

2008-09 Academic Catalog 57

Mathematics Requirement
All undergraduate degree-seeking students are expected to fulfill the university’s mathematics requirement by the time they have
accumulated 30 hours of credit in residence at ASU. Any student who has more than 30 hours of credit and has not fulfilled the
mathematics requirement must enroll in a mathematics course or an appropriate prerequisite course and continue to do so every
semester until the mathematics requirement is met. A waiver may be granted for continuous enrollment if there are scheduling
conflicts detrimental to the student’s academic progress.

First-Year Composition Requirement
Completion of both ENG 101 and 102 or ENG 105 with a grade of “C” (2.00) or higher is required for graduation from ASU in
any baccalaureate program. International students from non-English-speaking countries may meet the First-Year Composition
requirement by completing ENG 107 and 108 with a grade of “C” (2.00) or higher.
New or Transfer Students
Before new students or transfer students can register for the first time at ASU, they must determine what courses to take to
complete the university First-Year Composition requirement; the students must then enroll immediately in composition courses
and continue to do so every term until composition requirements are met. Colleges may grant waivers to the immediate and
continual enrollment requirement when there are scheduling conflicts detrimental to the student’s academic progress. Transfer
students from Arizona community colleges or public universities can determine the acceptability of their composition courses by
referring to the Course Applicability System in consultation with an academic advisor. Composition courses transferred from out­
of-state institutions must be evaluated and approved by the Composition Office.
The transfer student must file an application in the student’s college for Equivalency of First-Year Composition Requirements,
along with a transcript and catalog descriptions of the composition courses to be transferred. The application, available in each
college, should be filed immediately upon transfer of course work to ASU so that the student is able to enroll in an additional
composition course, if required to do so.
For more information, visit LL 314 on Tempe campus or FAB N220 on West campus.

Resident Credit Requirement
Resident credit refers to a course that is offered in a regular semester, winter session, intersession, or summer session. Credit
earned through comprehensive examinations is also included when calculating ASU resident hours. Credit earned through
independent learning, advanced placement, the College-Level Examination Program, or an International Baccalaureate
Diploma/Certificate are excluded when calculating ASU resident hours.
Every candidate for the baccalaureate degree is required to earn a minimum of 30 semester hours in resident-credit courses at
ASU.

Guidelines for Determination of Catalog Year
The catalog is published annually. Department, school, division, college, and university requirements may change and are
upgraded often. In determining graduation requirements, an undergraduate student may use only one edition of the catalog but
may elect to follow any later catalog edition. Students may not use an edition of the catalog that was in effect before their high
school graduation or completion of GED. Students maintaining continuous enrollment at any Arizona community college or
public university may graduate according to the requirements of the catalog in effect at the time of initial enrollment following
high school graduation or completion of a GED or according to the requirements of any single catalog in effect during subsequent
terms of continuous enrollment. Students may maintain continuous enrollment whether attending a single Arizona community

2008-09 Academic Catalog 58

college or public university or transferring among public institutions in Arizona while pursuing their degrees. Students
transferring among Arizona public higher education institutions must meet the admission, residency, and all curricular and
academic requirements of the degree-granting institution.

A semester in which a student earns course credit is counted toward continuous enrollment. Noncredit courses, audited
courses, failed courses, or courses from which the student withdraws do not count toward the determination of
continuous enrollment for catalog purposes. See examples A and B in the Continuous Enrollment table below.
Students who do not meet the minimum enrollment standard stipulated in number 1 during three consecutive semesters
(fall/spring/fall or spring/fall/spring) and the intervening summer term at any Arizona community college or public
university are no longer considered continuously enrolled. (Note that students are not obligated to enroll and earn
course credit during summer terms, but summer enrollment may be used to maintain continuous enrollment status.)
These students must meet requirements of the Arizona community college or public university catalog in effect at the
time they are readmitted or of any single catalog in effect during subsequent terms of continuous enrollment after
readmission. See examples C and D in the Continuous Enrollment table below.
Students admitted or readmitted to an Arizona community college or public university during a summer term must
follow the requirements of the catalog in effect the following fall semester or of any single catalog in effect during
subsequent terms of continuous enrollment. See example E in the Continuous Enrollment table below.
In areas of study in which the subject matter changes rapidly, material in courses taken long before graduation may
become obsolete or irrelevant.
Course work that is more than eight years old is applicable to completion of degree requirements at the discretion of the
student’s major department. Departments may accept such course work, reject it, or request that the student revalidate
its substance. The eight-year limit on course work applies except when program accreditation agencies limit the life of
course work to fewer than eight years. Departments may also require students to satisfy current major requirements
rather than major requirements in earlier catalogs when completing earlier requirements is no longer possible or
educationally sound.
Enrollment by Arizona community college students in nontransferable courses still constitutes enrollment for purposes
of determining whether the student has been continuously enrolled. For example, if a student takes two semesters of
cooperative education classes that are not transferable to the university but constitute continuous enrollment at the
community college, the university should consider it continuous enrollment.
Exceptions made by an institution apply only to the institution that made the exception. For example, if the community
college departments accepted credit that was more than eight years old, the university department to which the student
transfers might not; it has the right and the obligation to reevaluate any credit more than eight years old.

Inquiries about these guidelines may be directed to the student’s academic advisor.

Declaration of Graduation
Students must file a Declaration of Graduation (DOG) using the Degree Audit Reporting System (DARS). DARS is an

2008-09 Academic Catalog 60

automated process that matches courses a student has completed with the requirements of a particular academic degree program,
resulting in a report that shows the student which requirements are satisfied and which remain to be fulfilled, thus providing a
guide for efficient selection of courses toward graduation. For example, a student majoring in Biology would request a degree
audit report that would show how his or her completed ASU and transfer course work would apply to the Biology degree
program.
Each student must submit a DOG form no later than the semester in which he or she earns the 87th semester hour. The DOG
process confirms the degree requirements under which the student is enrolled, as indicated on the degree audit report for that
academic program and catalog year. The student should review his or her degree audit with an academic advisor to assure an
accurate interpretation. Some departments may require the DOG earlier than the 87th hour. Students failing to submit the DOG
are prevented from further registration.

Application for Graduation Requirements
The following steps are required to complete the graduation process:
1.
2.
3.
4.

Register for the final semester.
Pay the graduation fee at Cashiering Services.
Submit the fee receipt and application for graduation to any Registrar site. The Degree Audit Report or Program of
Study will be reviewed and eligibility to graduate verified.
Complete all course work listed on the Degree Audit Report or Program of Study by the graduation date.

For more information about the steps and deadline dates visit http://students.asu.edu/graduation [3]

Petition for Variance from Degree
Any student wishing to have a college or university degree requirement variance must petition the standards committee of the
college in which the student is enrolled. All petitions must originate with the student’s advisor.
The University Undergraduate Standards Committee advises the Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost regarding
undergraduate student petitions that concern university-wide academic requirements. These requirements include but are not
limited to requirements on the amount of transfer credit, graduation requirements, limits on credit by examination, and
requirements for a second baccalaureate degree. To petition for a variance from such university requirements, the normal
department, division, school, and college forms and procedures are used. Petitions that have been denied at the college level are
forwarded to the University Undergraduate Standards Committee.

Other Requirements
The separate units of ASU—such as colleges, schools, and departments—have specific requirements for graduation that must be
satisfied for a baccalaureate degree. Students are encouraged to consult with an academic advisor in planning a program to ensure
that it meets the various requirements. A well-planned program may enable a student to concurrently satisfy a portion of the
General Studies requirement together with a portion of a college or major requirement.

Overview of Graduation Requirements
At ASU, students take classes that fulfill four types of requirements. As illustrated in the Graduation Requirements diagram
below, some courses can fulfill two or more types of requirements, but other courses fulfill only one requirement. The total
semester hours needed to graduate are represented by the largest circle. The university minimum is 120 semester hours. Some
majors, however, require more than 120 semester hours.

2008-09 Academic Catalog 61

Although the three shaded circles are equal in size and the white circle is larger than all three, the total number of semester hours
for each type of requirement may vary.

University Requirements
The yellow circle represents university requirements. The General Studies requirement and the First-Year Composition
requirement are among these requirements.
College Requirements
The gray circle represents college requirements. Some colleges and schools have additional requirements, such as the College of
Liberal Arts and Sciences.
Major
The red circle represents the requirements of the major. The semester hours required for a major may be as low as 30 hours or as
high as 63 hours.
Electives/Minor/Certificate
The white circle represents electives and the requirements of a minor or certificate. A minor typically adds an additional 18 to 25
semester hours of course work. Although every student must eventually declare a major, minor and certificates are not required.
Some courses, while providing semester hours toward graduation, fall outside the shaded circles and are not required in a
program for graduation. These courses are electives. Some majors leave no room for electives within the minimum 120 semester
hours required to graduate.

Graduation with Academic Recognition
An undergraduate student must have completed at least 56 semester hours of resident credit at ASU to qualify for graduation with
academic recognition for a baccalaureate degree. Note: West campus students following a catalog year prior to fall 2007 are
required to have completed at least 50 semester hours of resident credit at ASU.

2008-09 Academic Catalog 62

The cumulative GPA determines the designation, as shown in the Academic Recognition table below.
Academic Recognition
Cumulative GPA Designation
3.40–3.59

cum laude

3.60–3.79

magna cum laude

3.80–4.00

summa cum laude

The cumulative GPA for these designations is based on only ASU resident course work. For example, ASU independent learning
course grades are not calculated in the honors GPA. All designations of graduation with academic recognition are indicated on
the diploma and the ASU transcript. Graduation with academic recognition applies only to undergraduate degrees.
A student who has a baccalaureate degree from ASU and is pursuing a second baccalaureate degree at ASU (with a minimum of
30 hours of resident credit) is granted academic recognition on the second degree based on the semester hours earned subsequent
to the posting of the first degree. If fewer than 56 semester hours are completed at ASU subsequent to completion of the first
ASU degree, the level of academic recognition can be no higher than that obtained on the first degree. If 56 or more semester
hours are completed at ASU after completion of the first ASU degree, the level of academic recognition is based on the GPA
earned for the second ASU degree. Inquiries about graduation with academic recognition may be directed to the Graduation
Section, 480/965-3256.

Additional Degrees
Second Baccalaureate Degree
The student seeking a second baccalaureate degree must meet admission criteria for that degree. After conferral of the first
degree, a minimum of 30 semester hours in resident credit courses at ASU must be successfully completed to earn the second
baccalaureate degree. The student must meet all degree and university requirements of the second degree.
Concurrent Degrees
More than one baccalaureate degree may be pursued concurrently if prior approval is given by the standards committee(s) of the
college(s) offering the degrees. Students may receive concurrent degrees if they meet the minimum requirements for both
degrees.

eAdvisor and Critical Requirements
eAdvisor is Arizona State University's electronic advising and enrollment management system designed for first-time freshmen
and transfer students from Arizona public universities and Arizona community colleges. eAdvisor assists students in
1.

learning more about graduation requirements for their major;
discerning what critical courses and grades are required to stay on track to successfully complete their degree;
planning for and scheduling appropriate courses in the correct sequence to maximize success;
monitoring progress toward their degree; and
finding out how courses may fit into other majors if they decide to change majors.

2008-09 Academic Catalog 63

Through eAdvisor, students follow a major map that outlines the critical requirements and optimal eight semester plan. If
students to not meet the critical requirements, an advising hold may be placed on the students' records and an advising session is
required before future registration activities. When students do not meet the critical requirements for two consecutive semesters,
they are considered off-track, and may be advised to change majors.

Introduction
The Graduate College admits students into programs leading to both professional and researchoriented advanced degrees beyond the bachelor’s degree. The master’s and doctoral degrees are
awarded to students completing programs that culminate in research and creative endeavors. The
Ph.D. degree is the highest university award, conferred on candidates who have proven their
ability as scholars and original researchers. For a list of ASU graduate degrees, see graduate
degree listings at: www.asu.edu/aad/catalogs/graduate/grad-degs.html.

Academic Integrity
The highest standards of academic integrity are expected of all graduate students, both in the
academic coursework and in their related research activities. The failure of any graduate student
to meet these standards may result in serious consequences including suspension or expulsion
from the university and/or other sanctions as specified in the academic integrity policies of
individual colleges as well as the university.
Violations of academic integrity include, but are not limited to: cheating, fabrication, tampering,
plagiarism, or aiding and/or facilitating such activities. At the graduate level, it is expected that
students are familiar with these issues and each student must take personal responsibility in their
work. In addition, graduate students are expected to follow university guidelines related to the
Student Code of Conduct. University policies related to academic integrity and code of conduct
are available in the Office of Student Life, or at www.asu.edu/studentaffairs/studentlife/judicial.

Graduate Student Responsibilities
Graduate students are responsible for familiarizing themselves with all graduate policies and
procedures. Each student should also communicate directly with her/his degree program
department to be clear on its expectations for degree completion.

Admissions

Applications
Submission of an Application and Deadlines

For admission information and procedures, see graduate.asu.edu/admissions. Students are
encouraged to apply via the website to expedite processing time. The application deadlines are
set by the degree programs so applicants are urged to contact the programs directly. For fall
enrollment, international applicants must submit application materials by the previous December.
For spring enrollment (when allowed by the academic unit) international applicants must submit
application materials by the previous August. Not all programs accept applications for both fall
and spring semesters. Applicants are advised to contact the specific degree program departments
for this information.
3
2008-09 Academic Catalog 67

Application Fee

Each application to an ASU graduate program must be accompanied by a nonrefundable
application fee. For current fees please see the Graduate Admission website.
Application Requirements

All applicants must submit official transcripts to the Graduate College from all post-secondary
institutions previously attended (see graduate.asu.edu/admissions). Degree programs,
departments, or colleges, may have admission requirements in addition to those of the Graduate
College. Many graduate programs require scores from a national admissions test such as the
Graduate Record Examination (GRE), Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), or the
Miller Analogies Test. Some programs require a portfolio, letters of recommendation, and/or a
statement of goals.
Applicants should contact the degree program for specific additional requirements. Degree
programs will make a recommendation to the Graduate College dean regarding their willingness
to admit an applicant.
Because ASU receives applications from many highly qualified students, some applicants may
be denied admission for reasons not related to their academic performance (e.g., program
capacity, mentor availability, program match).

Additional International Requirements
International Applicants: Additional Requirements

Applicants who will hold an F-1 or J-1 visa must:
1. Meet the regulations of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency.
2. Obtain insurance coverage against illness and accident before being permitted to
register. Insurance must be maintained throughout the student’s enrollment at the
university.
3. Must submit additional materials as stated on the Graduate College’s website at
graduate.asu.edu/admissions.
4. Verify that they have the financial resources to cover their expenses during graduate
study at ASU. The Financial Guarantee form is available through the Graduate College
website at graduate.asu.edu/forms.
The I-20 or the DS-2019 (documents needed to obtain a student visa) is issued only after the
completed and properly verified Financial Guarantee form and supporting documents have
arrived. International students may enroll at ASU only if they have been admitted to a degree
program, a certificate program, or the post-baccalaureate teacher education program.
Immediately upon arrival on campus, students must report to an advisor in the International
Student Office (ISO), www.asu.edu/studentaffairs/ed/iso.

4
2008-09 Academic Catalog 68

English Language Requirement

Applicants from a country whose native language is not English must provide evidence of
English proficiency as indicated by acceptable scores on the Test of English as a Foreign
Language (TOEFL), or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS), as follows:
1. The minimum TOEFL requirement for entry into any graduate program is 550 (paperbased) or 83 internet based TOEFL (iBT).
2. The minimum IELTS requirement for entry into any graduate program is an overall band
score of 6.5 with no individual band score below 6.0.
3. Individual degree programs may have higher TOEFL or IELTS requirements for their
various programs. Consult the individual department websites for more information.
The following exceptions apply to the English proficiency requirement:
1. Applicants who have completed at least 90 semester credit hours (or equivalent) with a
cumulative grade point average of 3.00 or higher (on a 4.00 scale) at a regionally
accredited institution in the United States are exempt from the English proficiency
requirement.
2. Applicants who have earned a bachelor’s degree or higher from a regionally accredited
university in the United States are exempt from the English proficiency requirement. This
study must have been done within the United States.
3. Applicants who have completed a minimum of 12 semester hours of graduate level study
at a regionally accredited college or university in the United States with a GPA of 3.00 or
higher are exempt from the English proficiency requirement.
4. Applicants who have completed the ASU American English and Culture Program
Advanced 2 Level (with grades of “B” or higher) are exempt from the English proficiency
requirement.
All international applicants who are from a country whose native language is not English and
who wish to apply for teaching assistantships must pass an examination that certifies their skill in
speaking English—either the Test of Spoken English (TSE), which may be taken in the student’s
home country, or the Speaking Proficiency English Assessment Kit (SPEAK) test, which is
administered at ASU. Some degree programs also require TSE or SPEAK scores of applicants
whose native language is not English. For specific information about TSE requirements, contact
the head of the program.

Admission
Graduate College Admission Requirements

An individual who holds a bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) or a graduate degree from a
regionally-accredited college or university of recognized standing is eligible to apply for
admission to the Graduate College. Remedies for undergraduate deficiencies may be assigned by
5
2008-09 Academic Catalog 69

academic units if the undergraduate degree is based on credits not accepted by ASU, such as life
experience, or noncredit workshops and seminars.
Generally, an applicant must have a GPA of 3.00 (scale: 4.00 = A), or the equivalent, in the last
two years of work leading to the bachelor’s degree. A student who enters a graduate degree
program is expected to have undergraduate educational experiences, including general education
studies, that are similar to those required for the baccalaureate degree at ASU. The Graduate
College evaluates the equivalency of the student’s bachelor’s degree to determine if the degree is
acceptable for a graduate program at ASU.
Admission Decisions

Only the Graduate College dean can make formal offers of admission. The Graduate College
notifies all applicants in writing of the admission decision. Applicants are admitted into the
university for the semester and year indicated on their admission letter and must initiate their
program by registering for courses in that semester.
All academic credentials and supporting materials received by the university in connection with
an application for admission become the property of ASU.
Deferral of Admission Decisions

A student may, with the recommendation of the degree program, defer his/her initial semester
and year of admission to the next semester in which the program is admitting students. No
further deferrals are allowed.
Admission Status

There are several admission status levels which can be applied to a student’s application:
Regular Admission Status:
Regular admission status is assigned to an applicant who fulfills all requirements for
admission and is academically acceptable to both the degree program and the Graduate
College.
Regular Admission with Deficiencies Status:
Regular admission with deficiencies status is assigned to an applicant whose grades and test
scores are at an acceptable level but who does not have the undergraduate background
expected by the degree program and the university. Deficiency courses may not be applied
toward the minimum hours required for the degree program.
Provisional Admission Status:
Provisional admission status is assigned to a student who does not meet minimum academic
standards but has additional evidence to suggest the potential for success. This status
provides the degree program with an opportunity to better evaluate the student’s academic
potential. Students who do not meet the provisions of their admission will be withdrawn from
their program. When students have completed their provisional requirements, they should
check with their advisors to make sure that change of status has been recommended. A
6
2008-09 Academic Catalog 70

provisional student may also be assigned deficiency courses. Students with Provisional
Admission are not eligible to submit their Plan of Study.
Post-baccalaureate Non-degree Admission Status:
Students not immediately intending to earn a degree may enroll as post-baccalaureate nondegree students. The application process does not require submission of test scores or
transcripts unless the student is applying to a graduate certificate program as well. For postbaccalaureate non-degree admission information and procedures, access the website at
graduate.asu.edu/admissions/nondegree. See the Pre-Admission Credits paragraph in the
Graduate Degree Requirements section of these policies for maximum credit hours that can
be applied to a degree program. Please note that courses in some academic units are open
only to degree-seeking students.

Registration and Enrollment
Graduate students register during terms indicated in the Registration and Tuition Payment Guide
issued by the University Registrar’s Office. Details regarding registration and course drop/add
procedures are also provided in the Registration and Tuition Payment Guide. Day and evening
graduate classes, offered on or off-campus during the academic year (fall and spring semesters)
and the summer sessions, are considered part of the regular program. Students may register at
MyASU.

Enrollment Verification Guidelines
The Registrar’s Office will verify students’ enrollment each semester according to the general
guidelines below.

2008-09 Academic Catalog 71

** For enrollment verification purposes, “graduate assistant” is a generic term that includes teaching assistants,
research assistants, teaching associates and research associates.

International students are required to maintain full-time enrollment status to maintain
their U.S. visa.

Maximum Course Load
The Graduate College does not have a maximum credit hour enrollment policy. It is expected
that academic advisors will set course loads for their students that facilitate academic success.

Maximum Employment Hours for International Students
Employment for international students on F-1 or J-1 visas must be limited to 20 hours per week
while school is in session (summer sessions are voluntary and are not limited.) This is a federal
regulation and the individual degree program is responsible for enforcement.

Continuous Enrollment and Leave of Absence Policies
Once admitted to a graduate degree program, master’s and doctoral students must be registered
for a minimum of one credit hour (not audit) during all phases of their graduate education. This
includes periods when they are engaged in research, working on or defending theses or
dissertations, taking comprehensive exams, taking Graduate Foreign Language exams or in any
other way using university facilities or faculty time including the term in which they graduate.
This credit must appear on the Plan of Study or must be an appropriate graduate-level course
(e.g. 595, 695, or 795, Continuing Registration). Courses with grades of “W” and “X” are not
considered valid registration for continuous enrollment purposes.
Students planning to discontinue enrollment for a semester or more must request approval for a
leave of absence. Student may petition the Graduate College for a leave of absence for a
maximum of two semesters during their entire program. A petition for a leave of absence,
endorsed by the members of the student’s supervisory committee and the head of the academic
unit, must be approved by the Graduate College dean. This request must be filed and approved
before the anticipated absence.
An approved leave of absence will enable students to re-enter their program without re-applying
to the university. Students who do not enroll for a fall or spring semester without an approved
leave of absence by the Graduate College are considered withdrawn from the university under
the assumption that they have decided to discontinue their program. Student removed for this
reason may reapply for admission to resume their degree program; the application will be
considered along with all other new applications to the degree program.
A student on leave is not required to pay fees, but in turn is not permitted to place any demands
on university faculty or use any university resources.

8
2008-09 Academic Catalog 72

Enrollment Policy for the Teaching and Research
Assistantships/Associateships
All teaching and research assistants and associates (i.e., TAs and RAs) must enroll for a
minimum of six semester hours of appropriate credit during each semester of their appointment.
The six hours cannot include audit enrollment.
TAs and RAs are treated as residents for tuition purposes. To be eligible for tuition remission,
TAs and RAs must be employed a minimum of 10 hours per week (25 percent Full Time
Equivalency {FTE}). TAs/RAs working 10-19 hours per week (25-49 percent FTE) receive a 50
percent remission of tuition for the semester or summer session of their employment. TAs/RAs
working 20 hours per week (50 percent FTE) do not pay tuition during the semester or summer
session of their employment. In addition, the university pays the individual health insurance
premium for those TAs and RAs working 20 hours per week (50 percent FTE).
See the TA/RA Handbook for application procedures for assistantships and associateships.

Graduate Degree Requirements

Plan of Study
Determination of Academic Requirements

A student graduates under the degree requirements and policies in effect at the semester and year
of admission to a graduate degree program.
The Plan of Study (POS)

The Plan of Study specifies the requirements that students must complete for their degree and is
submitted and revised electronically via the interactive POS system (iPOS). In order to facilitate
degree completion and shorten time to degree, graduate students with regular status must submit
their POS by the time they have enrolled for 50 percent of the minimum credit hours required
towards their degree program.
The POS must be approved by a student’s committee, the head of the academic unit, and the
Graduate College dean. The POS becomes a contract between the University and the student that
guides the student in completing degree requirements.
Courses numbered 500 or higher are graduate level courses. Core courses required by a graduate
degree program must be 500-level or above. A maximum of six credit hours of 400 level
coursework may be used on an approved POS (400 level courses taken for a grade of Pass/Fail
cannot be included on a POS). Courses with grades of “D” (1.00) and “E” (0.00) cannot be
included on a POS.

9
2008-09 Academic Catalog 73

Students may not include on their Plan of Study any credit hours that have been applied towards
a previously awarded degree.

Grading Exceptions
Special Graduate Grade Considerations

Graduate coursework (i.e. 500, 600, and 700 level) reported as incomplete (“I”) must be
completed within one calendar year of the end of the scheduled course. If the course has not been
completed and a regular grade assigned, it will become a permanent incomplete. The student will
need to re-register for the course to receive credit.
Thesis and dissertation credit may only be assigned a grade of “Y” or “Z.”
A grade of “W” is given whenever a student officially withdraws from a course after the
drop/add period.
Audit Enrollment

Graduate students may register to audit one or more courses with the approval of the supervisory
committee chair and the consent of the instructor involved. An audited course does not count
towards the minimum number of credits required for international students with visa restrictions,
students employed as TA/RAs, or students receiving financial assistance.

Pre-Admission/Transfer Credit
Pre-Admission Credits

Credit hours completed before the semester and year of admission to an ASU graduate degree
program are considered pre-admission credits. With approval of the degree program and the
Graduate College, a maximum of nine credit hours of pre-admission credits may be included on
the POS for a master’s degree and a maximum of 12 credit hours for a doctoral degree.
Transfer Credit

Transfer credits are those accepted from another institution for inclusion on an ASU Plan of
Study. Official transcripts of any potential transfer credit for a POS must be sent directly to the
Graduate Admissions Office from the Office of the Registrar at the institution where the credit
was earned.
Transfer hours may not exceed 20 percent of the total credit hours for a master's degree, and 12
credit hours for doctoral degrees. Only graduate level courses with grades of "A" (4.00) or "B"
(3.00) may be transferred. Transfer credits may not be applied toward the minimum degree
requirements for an ASU degree if they have been counted toward the minimum requirements
for a previously-awarded degree.

10
2008-09 Academic Catalog 74

Certain types of graduate credits cannot be transferred to ASU, including credits awarded (as
follows):
1. By post-secondary institutions that lack candidate status or accreditation by a regional
accrediting association.
2. For life experience.
3. For courses taken at non-collegiate institutions (e.g., government agencies,
corporations, and industrial firms).
4. For courses, workshops, and seminars offered by other postsecondary institutions as
part of continuing education programs.
5. For extension courses.
6. Prior to the posting of a bachelor’s degree.
Academic credits earned at other institutions that base their credit calculation on a different scale
from ASU’s are subject to conversion before inclusion on a Plan of Study. In all cases, the
inclusion of transfer courses on a Plan of Study is subject to approval by the degree program and
the Graduate College dean.
Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law Credit

The Graduate College accepts a numerical grade of 70 or above for courses taken in the ASU
Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law as part of an approved Plan of Study. These grades are not
used in the two GPAs calculated for graduation unless needed, as determined by the Graduate
College.
Repeating ASU Courses

Graduate students (degree or non-degree) may retake any course at ASU, but all grades remain
on the student transcript as well as in all GPA calculations.
Reserving Course Credits by Undergraduates for Graduate Degree Use

ASU undergraduate students who have achieved senior status with a 3.0 cumulative GPA or
higher may reserve up to nine credit hours of graduate level coursework. Only reserved courses
with a grade of “B” (3.00) or higher may be included on a Plan of Study. Reserved courses
cannot be used to meet any baccalaureate graduation requirements. Before the student’s
bachelor’s degree is conferred the student must submit a Request for Graduate Credit form
which is signed by the student’s undergraduate advisor and the head of the academic unit, to the
Graduate College for approval. Students are not eligible to reserve credit after the bachelor’s
degree has been awarded.

Graduate Foreign Language Examination
A graduate degree program may require at least a reading level proficiency of a foreign language
relevant to the student’s area of study. Students who are required to demonstrate proficiency in a
foreign language must pass the Graduate Foreign Language Examination specific to their
11
2008-09 Academic Catalog 75

particular graduate program. Students must be enrolled for a minimum of one credit hour during
the term in which they take the examination.
Students must successfully complete the foreign language examination before taking any
required comprehensive examinations or scheduling the final oral defense of the thesis or
dissertation. A student may petition the Graduate College for a re-examination but must pass the
examination in no more than three attempts.

Maintaining Academic Progress toward Degree Completion

Grade Point Averages (GPA) and Restricted Grades
There are two GPA requirements that govern academic progress in and graduation from a
graduate degree program. The POS GPA is based on all courses that appear on the student’s final
POS. The Graduate GPA is based on all courses numbered 500 or higher that appear on the
transcript, with the exception of:
1.

Courses counted toward an undergraduate degree at ASU (unless shared with a
master’s degree in an approved bachelor’s/master’s degree program).

2.

Courses noted as deficiencies in the original letter of admission.

Transfer credits and courses taken in the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law are not counted
in calculations of the POS or Graduate GPA. Courses with grades of “D” (1.00) and “E” (0.00)
cannot appear on the POS but will be used to compute the Graduate GPA.
To be eligible for graduation, students must achieve a POS GPA and a Graduate GPA of 3.00 or
higher.

Satisfactory Progress towards the Degree and Time Limits on Degree
Completion
All graduate students are expected to make systematic progress towards completion of their
degree. This progress includes meeting the conditions listed below and achieving the
benchmarks and requirements set by the individual degree programs. Each degree program
should have in place policies for satisfactory academic progress. If students fail to meet the
requirements of their degree program and/or the benchmarks outlined below, the degree program
may recommend withdrawal of the student to the Graduate College dean. The Graduate College
dean makes the final determination.
1. Maintain a minimum of 3.0 GPA both on POS and Graduate GPA. If either GPA falls
below 3.0, the student must develop, with their advisor, an academic performance
improvement plan that includes the conditions and timeframes for making satisfactory
academic progress in her/his degree program. The student is considered to be on
academic probation until the conditions specified in the academic performance
improvement plan are met and both GPA’s are raised above 3.0.
12
2008-09 Academic Catalog 76

2. Meet all requirements of the graduate degree program.
3. Meet the maximum time limit for graduation from the student’s graduate degree
program (six years for master’s, ten years for doctoral).
4. Doctoral students must meet the five year time limit for graduation after passing the
comprehensive examinations.
5. Successfully pass comprehensive exams, qualifying exams, foreign language exams,
and the oral defense of the proposal/prospectus for the thesis or dissertation.
6. Successful completion of the oral defense required in the culminating experience.
Students should verify any additional satisfactory progress policies as required by their degree
program.

Thesis and Dissertation Considerations
The master’s thesis and doctoral dissertation (or equivalent) must be based on original and
independent research/creative activity conducted by the student, under the guidance of the
graduate supervisory committee. The thesis is an introduction to scholarly writing and is
intended to create an understanding of theory and methods applicable to one’s field. The
dissertation should demonstrate the candidate’s mastery of research and scholarly
methodologies, theory, and tools of the discipline. Both the thesis and dissertation should
demonstrate the candidate’s ability to address a major intellectual problem and to propose
meaningful questions and hypotheses, as well as utilize the methods with which to study the
proposed research question(s) and related hypotheses, and draw conclusions.

Graduate Supervisory Committees
Students are guided by faculty mentors who advise them through their degree program. Students
should identify their advisors early in their graduate career and look to them for guidance in their
graduate work. Once the student has selected a thesis/dissertation committee, the head of the
academic unit recommends the supervisory committee to the Graduate College dean who
reviews and appoints the Committee. Graduate supervisory committees must consist of a
minimum of three individuals, including the chair or co-chairs.
Faculty Emeriti who meet Graduate College criteria may serve as members or co-chairs on
graduate supervisory committees. They may serve as chairs with the recommendation of the
academic unit and approval of the Graduate College dean on a case by case basis. Qualified
individuals outside the university, upon the recommendation of the head of the academic unit
and approval of the Graduate College, may serve as members of thesis and dissertation
committees. All such requests must be submitted to the Graduate College dean for approval.
See the Master’s Degree Requirements and the Doctoral Degree Requirements sections below
for the composition of supervisory committees.
13
2008-09 Academic Catalog 77

Thesis or Dissertation Research Involving Human and Animal Subjects
Theses or dissertations that make use of research involving human or animal subjects must
include a statement indicating that the research has been approved by the appropriate university
body.
Research involving human subjects conducted under the auspices of Arizona State University is
reviewed by the University Human Subjects Institutional Review Board (IRB) in compliance
with federal regulations. Documents containing any data collection from human subjects require
that applications be submitted to the University Human Subjects IRB for approval before data
collection or recruitment of subjects is initiated at researchadmin.asu.edu/compliance/irb.
Research involving the use of animals conducted under the auspices of Arizona State University
is reviewed by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) in compliance with
federal regulations. Documents containing any data collection from animal research require that
applications be submitted to the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee for approval at
researchadmin.asu.edu/compliance/iacuc.
It is very important that students check with their thesis/dissertation advisor well in advance of
data collection to ensure university regulations are adhered to in the collection of research data.

Completing the Degree
The final culminating experiences for graduate degrees vary by program. In many master’s
degree programs a thesis is required, in other programs the culminating experience is an applied
or professional project. In all Ph.D. programs, as well as in most professional doctoral programs,
dissertations are required. Theses and dissertations are officially documented and archived.
Dissertations are deposited with University Microfilms International (UMI) which makes their
content available to the public. Information on the dissertation later appears in Dissertation
Abstracts International. For this reason, all theses and dissertations must undergo Graduate
College format review. The Graduate College dean reviews the content to affirm the quality and
originality of the scholarly work.

Thesis and Dissertation Format Review
Prior to the defense, students must prepare their thesis or dissertation for submission to the
university. This requires that the document meet format guidelines, as outlined in the Formal
Manual, for readability, consistency, and binding. Copies of the Format Manual are available in
the Graduate College and at graduate.asu.edu/formatmanual on the web.
To help ensure these guidelines are met, students are required to submit a complete copy of the
thesis or dissertation to the Graduate College for format review at least 10 working days before
the proposed date of the oral defense. It is very important that students familiarize themselves
with format requirements before beginning the thesis/dissertation process. They should check
14
2008-09 Academic Catalog 78

with their degree program to make sure they have no specific additional requirements on
formatting.
Doctoral students are responsible for the University Microfilms International (UMI)
microfilming fee, which covers the expense of having the document sent to UMI, where it is
microfilmed and cataloged.

Thesis and Dissertation Defenses
Thesis and dissertation defenses are open to all members of the university community and the
general public. The oral defense engages the supervisory committee and the candidate in a
critical and analytical discussion of the research and findings of the study, as well as a review of
the contribution of the research topic to advancing knowledge in that discipline. The presentation
of a thesis or dissertation defense in an open forum fosters a broader awareness of the state of
graduate research at ASU, promotes a wider scholarly dialogue among disciplines, and
recognizes publicly the scholarly contributions of master’s or doctoral candidates.
Defenses must be scheduled with the Graduate College at least 10 working days in advance of
the defense date. It is expected that oral defenses will be held on an ASU campus during regular
business hours in order to facilitate student, faculty, and public accessibility. When there are
sound educational reasons for holding a defense under different circumstances, contact the
Graduate College for approval before scheduling the defense.
It is desirable that all members of a student’s supervisory committee be physically present with
the student at the final oral defense of a thesis or dissertation. However, there are situations (e.g.
faculty travel, faculty emergencies and/or faculty leave) that may necessitate holding a defense
with one or more committee member(s) absent. Contact the Student Academic Services (SAS)
office in the Graduate College for additional information. The forms to schedule the defense are
found at graduate.asu.edu/forms/index.html and must be submitted when the thesis/dissertation is
presented for format review to the Graduate College.

Graduation
Students must apply for graduation in accordance with the University Registrar policies. See
Application for Graduation. Students must meet all University and Graduate College degree
requirements prior to the conferral of their degree.
The graduation deadlines and procedures are set by the Graduate College and are available
online at graduate.asu.edu/graddeadlines.html. Deadline dates vary slightly depending on the
calendar year, so students should check them carefully in advance of the semester they plan to
defend their thesis/dissertation. It is very important that students become familiar with these
deadlines so that graduation can occur during the expected term.

Master’s Degree Requirements
15
2008-09 Academic Catalog 79

Master’s Students’ Plan of Study
Master’s Students’ Plan of Study

As noted previously, master’s students must file their Plan of Study (POS) by the time they
enroll in 50 percent of the credit hours required towards their degree program. A student is not
eligible to apply for the comprehensive or final examination until a POS has been approved.
Minimum Credit Hour Requirements

A minimum of 30 semester hours of graduate work is required for the master’s degree at ASU.
Six (and only six) of the minimum required credit hours on a POS must be 599 Thesis credits if a
thesis is required. Please note that Plans of Study submitted for master’s degrees that do not have
a thesis requirement may not include 599 Thesis credits.
Maximum Time Limit

All work toward a master’s degree must be completed within six consecutive years. The six
years begins with the semester and year of admission to the program. Graduate courses taken
prior to admission that are included on the Plan of Study must have been completed within three
years of the semester and year of admission to the program.

Completing the Master’s Degree
The Master’s Supervisory Committee

A master’s student’s supervisory committee must be appointed before the student may apply for
the comprehensive examination or applied project or before the student can register for 599
Thesis credits (if applicable). The committee is appointed by the Graduate College dean upon the
recommendation of the head of the academic unit. It is composed of a minimum of three
members, including a chair or co-chairs.
For master’s committees, tenured/tenure-track faculty may serve as members of a graduate
supervisory committee, chair or co-chair. The chair of the committee is typically from the
student’s degree program and should be carefully selected by the student to guide their work.
Members of the Graduate Faculty may serve as members or co-chairs of a master’s committee.
Graduate Faculty endorsed to chair doctoral committees may also chair master’s committees.
ASU academic professionals or non-tenure accruing faculty with appropriate academic
credentials may serve as a member or co-chair on master’s committees.
Thesis and Thesis Defense

To satisfy the research requirement for most master’s degrees, a student is expected to present a
thesis which is defended in an oral examination. Degree programs may have additional
requirements in addition to the thesis (e.g. comprehensive examinations). Students should check
with their degree program to verify requirements. An oral defense of the thesis is required and
must be completed to the satisfaction of the supervisory committee. Students must be enrolled
for at least one semester hour of credit that appears on the Plan of Study or one hour of
16
2008-09 Academic Catalog 80

appropriate graduate-level credit (such as 595 Continuing Registration) during the semester
(including summer session) in which the student defends the thesis.
Revisions to the thesis are normal and must be completed in a timely manner. If the student is
unable to complete revisions to the thesis and meet the ASU Bookstore deadline for the semester
in which the defense is held, the student must complete the revisions, remain registered, and
present the finished document to the ASU Bookstore within one year of the defense. Failure to
do so will require the re-submission of the document for format review and may result in redefense of the thesis to ensure currency of the work.
Other Master’s Culminating Experiences

A comprehensive examination, capstone course or an applied project is required as a culminating
experience in master’s programs that do not have a thesis requirement. Students must have an
approved Plan of Study prior to scheduling their comprehensive examination and/or registering
for their applied project or capstone course. An oral defense of an applied project is required and
must be completed to the satisfaction of the supervisory committee.
Comprehensive Examinations Procedures

The student must schedule the comprehensive examination with their academic unit. The results
of this examination must be reported to the Graduate College within the semester it is completed.
Failing the comprehensive examination is considered final unless the supervisory committee and
the head of the academic unit recommend a re-examination. A petition for re-examination,
endorsed by the members of the student’s supervisory committee and the head of the academic
unit, must be approved by the Graduate College dean before a student can take the reexamination. Only one re-examination is permitted and must be administered no sooner than
three months and no later than one year from the date of the original examination. If the student’s
petition for re-examination is not approved or the student fails the re-examination, the Graduate
College will withdraw a student from his/her degree program.
Foreign language requirements, if applicable, must be fulfilled before taking the comprehensive
examinations. Students are required to register for at least one semester hour of credit that
appears on the POS or one hour of appropriate graduate-level credit (such as 595 Continuing
Registration) during the semester or summer session in which they take their comprehensive
examinations.

Doctoral Degree Requirements

Doctoral Plan of Study
The Doctoral Plan of Study

As noted previously, doctoral students must file their Plan of Study (POS) by the time they enroll
in 50 percent of the credit hours required towards their degree program. The doctoral Plan of
17
2008-09 Academic Catalog 81

Study must be approved by the student’s supervisory committee, head of the academic unit, and
the Graduate College dean.
Minimum Credit Hour Requirements

A minimum of 84 credit hours of graduate work is required for the doctoral degree at ASU; 12
(and only 12) of these hours must be 799 Dissertation course credits if the student is completing
a dissertation. Students may apply up to 30 credit hours from a previously awarded master’s
degree toward their doctoral Plan of Study with approval of the degree program and the Graduate
College dean.
Maximum Time Limit

Doctoral students must complete all program requirements within a ten-year period. The ten-year
period starts with the semester and year of admission to the doctoral program. Graduate courses
taken prior to admission that are included on the Plan of Study must have been completed within
three years of the semester and year of admission to the program (previously awarded master’s
degrees used on the Plan of Study are exempt).
In addition, the student must defend the dissertation within five years after passing the
comprehensive examinations. Therefore, the maximum time limit is the shortest of the
following:
1. Time period since initial enrollment (10 year time limit).
2. Time after passing the comprehensive exams (5 year time limit).
Any exceptions must be approved by the supervisory committee and the Graduate College dean
and ordinarily involves repeating the comprehensive examinations. The Graduate College may
withdraw students who are unable to complete all degree requirements and graduate within the
allowed maximum time limits.

Completing the Doctoral Degree
Dissertation Supervisory Committee

Upon the recommendation of the head of the academic unit, the Graduate College dean appoints
the student’s dissertation committee. The committee must be composed of at least three
members, including either a chair or co-chairs. Doctoral programs may have additional
requirements for committee composition. This committee serves as the intellectual guide for the
student and must approve the research/scholarly focus and substance of the dissertation. The
members of the dissertation committee have the necessary knowledge and skills to advise the
student during the formulation of the research topic and during the completion of the research
and the dissertation.
Dissertation chairs and co-chairs must be approved by the Graduate College dean and each
degree program maintains the list of faculty approved by the Graduate College to do so.
Generally, most resident faculty at ASU may serve on dissertation committees with the proviso
that they have appropriate expertise in the discipline.
18
2008-09 Academic Catalog 82

All Ph.D. programs have a Graduate Faculty. The Graduate College maintains a web page
(graduate.asu.edu/gradfaculty) of faculty approved to serve as Ph.D. committee members. The
Graduate Faculty in a Ph.D. program may also include highly qualified individuals from outside
the university who have been approved to serve on committees. Each Ph.D. program maintains
the list of faculty approved by the Graduate College to chair or co-chair Ph.D. dissertations.
Ph.D. students are urged to communicate with their Ph.D. program to be clear on eligibility of
faculty to chair committees.
The final committee membership must be appointed by the Graduate College dean before the
student may apply for the comprehensive examinations, defend the dissertation prospectus, and
register for 799 Dissertation course credits (if applicable).
Comprehensive Examinations

When students have essentially completed the course work in an approved Plan of Study, they
should request permission to take the comprehensive examinations. These written and oral
examinations are designed to test the student’s mastery of the field of specialization. Doctoral
comprehensive examinations are administered by a committee consisting of a minimum of three
members.
Foreign language requirements, if applicable, must be fulfilled before taking the comprehensive
examinations. Students are required to register for at least one semester hour of credit that
appears on the POS or one hour of appropriate graduate-level credit (such as 795 Continuing
Registration) during the semester or summer session in which they take their comprehensive
examinations.
Failure in the comprehensive examinations is considered final unless the supervisory committee
and the head of the academic unit recommend, and the Graduate College dean approves a reexamination. Only one re-examination is permitted. A petition for re-examination, endorsed by
the members of the student’s supervisory committee and the head of the academic unit, must be
approved by the Graduate College dean before a student can take the second examination. Reexamination may be administered no sooner than three months and no later than one year from
the date of the original examination. The Graduate College may withdraw a student from his/her
degree program if the student’s petition for re-examination is not approved, or if the student fails
to successfully pass the retake of the comprehensive exam.
Doctoral Prospectus Defense

All doctoral degree programs that require students to complete a dissertation must require
students to complete a dissertation proposal/prospectus and submit the results to the Graduate
College. Failure of the doctoral dissertation prospectus defense is considered final unless the
supervisory committee and the head of the academic unit recommend, and the Graduate College
dean approves a second proposal defense. If a petition is approved, the student must submit the
new prospectus by the end of six months (the six months start from the date that the first doctoral
dissertation proposal defense was held). If the academic unit does not grant the student
19
2008-09 Academic Catalog 83

permission to retake the proposal defense, or if the student fails to pass the retake of the proposal
defense, the Graduate College may withdraw the student from the degree program.
Candidacy

Doctoral students (with specific degree program exceptions approved by the Graduate College
dean) achieve candidacy status in a letter from the University Registrar dean upon:
1. Passing the foreign language examination, if applicable.
2. Passing the comprehensive examinations.
3. Successfully defending the dissertation prospectus, if applicable.
Doctoral students who have been advanced to candidacy are required to maintain continuous
enrollment until all degree requirements have been completed and graduated. See Continuous
Enrollment.
Doctoral Dissertations and the Doctoral Defense

The written doctoral dissertation is based on an original and substantial scholarly work that
constitutes a significant contribution to knowledge in the student’s discipline. The dissertation
research must be conducted during the time of the student’s doctoral studies at ASU, under
guidance of ASU Graduate Faculty, and in accordance with Graduate College policies and
procedures. The composition of the dissertation is defined by the degree program with the
approval of the Graduate College dean.
The dissertation research experience culminates in a final oral exam, commonly known as the
“dissertation defense.” A final public dissertation defense is required. Each student must be
enrolled for at least one semester hour of credit that appears on the Plan of Study or one hour of
appropriate graduate-level credit (such as 795 Continuing Registration) during the semester
(including summer session) in which the student defends the dissertation.
Revisions to the dissertation are normal and must be completed in a timely manner. If the student
is unable to complete revisions to the dissertation and meet the ASU Bookstore deadline for the
semester in which the defense is held, the student must complete the revisions, remain registered,
and present the finished document to the ASU Bookstore within one year of the defense. Failure
to do so will require the re-submission of the document for format review and may result in redefense of the dissertation to ensure currency of the work.

Other Graduate Educational Opportunities

Graduate Certificates

20
2008-09 Academic Catalog 84

The graduate certificate is a programmatic series of linked courses. Graduate certificates
facilitate professional growth for people who already hold the baccalaureate degree. For more
information on current graduate certificates see the Graduate Degree and Certificate Search page.
Admission

All applications for graduate certificate programs must be submitted through
www.asu.edu/gradapp.
Certificate Requirements

A minimum of 15 semester hours of graduate work are required to complete a graduate
certificate. No more than one-fifth (20 percent) of the minimum required credit hours for a
graduate certificate may be transferred from another university. All transfer work must meet
Graduate College transfer policies. All course work used to complete an ASU graduate
certificate must be completed within a six-year time limit. Courses at a 400-level may be allowed
with prior approval from the appropriate certificate program, however, a minimum of two-thirds
of the courses taken to complete the certificate must be at the 500-level or above. No more than
40% of coursework towards the requirements of a graduate certificate can be completed prior to
admission to the certificate program.
Awarding of the Graduate Certificate

A student will be eligible for the official posting of the graduate certificate to their transcripts
when all applicable coursework has been successfully completed and Graduate College
scholarship requirements have been met. Students must complete, sign and submit to their
specific graduate certificate program the Application for Awarding of a Graduate Certificate
form to be verified first by the certificate program and then by the Graduate College, thus
ensuring that all requirements have been met before the graduate certificate will be officially
posted.

Concurrent Master’s Degree
A student may pursue concurrent master’s degrees with prior written approval from the head of
the academic unit for each degree program and the Graduate College. A maximum of 20 percent
of the minimum total semester hours for the completion of both degrees may be common hours
shared between the Plans of Study. The total number of hours common to both degree programs
may vary from this maximum value only when the Graduate College has formally approved
coordinated degree programs.
Course work common to both programs must constitute a well-planned and meaningful part of
each of the programs and may only include course work completed after admission to both
degree programs. In all cases, these guidelines must be followed:
1. The student must be enrolled in both programs each fall and spring semester to maintain
continuous enrollment or must petition for a leave of absence. Any approved leave of
absence applies to both degree programs.
21
2008-09 Academic Catalog 85

2. Graduate credit transferred from another institution may be applied toward only one
degree program.
3. Culminating experiences (e.g. capstone courses, theses, applied projects) and
comprehensive examinations cannot be shared between concurrent degree programs.
4. The six year maximum time limit for completing degree requirements and graduation
apply to each concurrent degree individually.
Concurrent enrollment in a doctoral program and master’s degree program may not have
common hours. Doctoral programs and master’s degrees in the same major may not be
concurrently pursued.

Concurrent Doctoral Degree
A student may pursue concurrent doctoral degrees with prior written approval from the head of
the academic unit for each degree program and the Graduate College. In all cases, these
guidelines must be followed:
1. The student must be enrolled in both programs each fall and spring semester to
maintain continuous enrollment or must petition for a leave of absence. Any approved
leave of absence applies to both degree programs.
2. The 30 hours allowed from a previously awarded master’s degree may only be applied
to one of the doctoral programs and graduate credit transferred from another institution
may be applied toward only one degree program.
3. The comprehensive examination, the dissertation prospectus, and the dissertation
cannot be shared between concurrent degree programs.
4. The student must meet the 10 year maximum time limit and five year limit after
comprehensive exams for each degree.

Master’s in Passing (MIP)
In those cases where there is an approved Master’s in Passing (MIP) program in place for a
doctoral degree, those doctoral students who complete the requirements of the approved MIP
may be awarded the related master’s degree. Students should check with their doctoral program
to see if there is an approved Master’s in Passing for their degree.
Students who include 30 hours from a previously awarded master’s degree on their doctoral Plan
of Study are not eligible for a Master’s in Passing. All coursework included in an MIP Plan of
Study must have been completed after the semester and year of admission to the doctoral
program.

Withdrawals from Graduate Degree Programs or the University
22
2008-09 Academic Catalog 86

Voluntary Withdrawal from the University
If a student wishes to withdraw from all graduate degree programs and the university, they must
complete the Voluntary Withdrawal form found at graduate.asu.edu/forms. Students must still
complete the appropriate forms with the University Registrar to withdraw from their courses.
International students should contact the International Student Office (ISO) before submitting a
Voluntary Withdrawal form as it most likely will affect their visa status.

Voluntary Withdrawal from a Graduate Degree Program
If a student wishes to transition from one graduate degree program to another graduate degree
program, the student should complete the Voluntary Withdrawal form found at
graduate.asu.edu/forms. The students should not take this action until they have been admitted to
the other graduate degree program.

Procedures for Other Types of Withdrawals
There are appropriate circumstances when students may need to withdraw from the university
(i.e. medical withdrawal, compassionate leave). The policies for such withdrawals are the same
for both undergraduate and graduate students. Types of withdrawals and procedures can be found
at: www.asu.edu/aad/manuals/usi/usi201-09.html. For course withdrawals contact the University
Registrar’s Office.
A grade of “W” is given whenever a student officially withdraws from a course after the
drop/add period.

Involuntary Withdrawal of a Student from a Graduate Program by the
Graduate College
Any student who does not abide by the Graduate College policies may be withdrawn from their
graduate program after review by the Graduate College dean.
In addition, a department may recommend withdrawal of a student from a graduate program for
lack of compliance with published departmental policies or lack of satisfactory academic
progress. All such recommendations need to be submitted to the Graduate College, documenting
the issue, communication with the student, and the failure of the student to remedy the issue.
Only the Graduate College dean may withdraw a student from a graduate program due to lack of
compliance with satisfactory academic progress policies.

Graduate Student Appeals

The Graduate Council Appeals Board: Policies and Procedures
The Graduate Council Appeals Board (GCAB) acts as the appeals body for graduate students
seeking redress on academic decisions regarding their graduate programs. Before initiating an
23

appeal, the graduate student must fully utilize all other appeal and review processes available in
the student’s program, department, or college. The student should also discuss the situation with
the Graduate College dean’s office to explore resolution of the matter at the unit or college level
before filing an appeal.
The GCAB reviews written appeals of graduate students concerning:
1. Retention in graduate programs (with the limitations described below).
2. Procedural matters in graduate student programs (e.g., procedures related to Plans of
Study, theses, dissertations, and preliminary, qualifying or comprehensive exams).
3. Other academic issues that are not covered by other university policies or processes.
4. The GCAB will not entertain any appeals until the graduate student has fully utilized all
other appropriate appeal procedures through their academic unit and college.
5. The GCAB does not review appeals pertaining to the following areas because these
appeals are heard by other university bodies (see parenthesis below):
• Course grades (subject to review by the academic unit and college).
• Results of capstone experiences, comprehensive and qualifying examinations and
defenses (subject to review by the academic unit and college).
• Allegations of academic dishonesty (subject to review under the ASU Student
Academic Integrity Policy).
• Allegations of scientific misconduct (subject to review under ASU policy RSP
210 [“Misconduct in Research”] in the Research and Sponsored Projects Policy
and Procedures Manual).
• Allegations of discrimination (subject to review by the ASU Office of Diversity).

KATHERINE K. HERBERGER COLLEGE OF THE ARTS POLICIES
Undergraduate Policies
Advising
Undergraduate academic advising is handled as a centralized activity within the college. To offer personalized attention, each
academic unit establishes its own graduate advising procedures. Students are encouraged to make appointments through the
Herberger Student Academic Services central office. For more information, call 480/965-4495.

Academic Standards and Retention
Good Standing
Students in the Katherine K. Herberger College of the Arts are considered in good standing for the purpose of retention if they
maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or higher in all courses taken at ASU. However, to gain admission into certain undergraduate
degree programs in the college, students must maintain a minimum GPA within their major and/or a minimum cumulative GPA.
These minimum GPAs vary according to the given program.
Probation
Any student who does not maintain good standing is placed on academic probation. A student on academic probation is required
to observe any limitations or rules the college may impose as a condition for retention. Students are encouraged to seek advising
from their major academic advisor, in an effort to improve academic standing. All Herberger College of the Arts students who are
placed on academic probation and continuing probation are required to submit completed student progress reports to the office of
the assistant dean for enrollment management and student success for the college. The student progress report is a means to
monitor the academic performance that a probation/continuing probation student is achieving in each of his or her courses, during
the semester. Completed student progress reports must be returned to the Herberger College of the Arts Office, GHALL 116. The
assistant dean will then review each report. Progress reports are required until the student earns a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or
higher.
Disqualification
A student who is on probation becomes disqualified if the student (1) has not returned to good standing, or (2) has not met the
required semester GPA. Disqualification is exercised at the discretion of the college and becomes effective on the first day of the
fall or spring semester following college action. A disqualified student is notified by the Office of the Registrar and/or the dean of

2008-09 Academic Catalog 89

the college and is not allowed to register for a fall or spring semester at the university until reinstated. A student who is
disqualified may not attend as a nondegree student.
Reinstatement
Students seeking reinstatement after disqualification should contact the Katherine K. Herberger College of the Arts Student
Services Office regarding procedures and guidance for returning to good standing. When reinstatement includes readmission,
application must be made to the Readmissions Section of the Office of the Registrar.
All academic disciplinary action is a function of the Katherine K. Herberger College of the Arts Student Services Office, GHALL
116, under the direction of the assistant dean for enrollment management and student success for the college. Students having
academic problems should call this office for advising at 480/965-4495.

Graduate Policies
Advising
Advising is handled as a decentralized activity within the college. To offer personalized attention, each academic unit establishes
its own graduate advising procedures. Students are encouraged to make appointments through the central office of their major
discipline.

W. P. CAREY SCHOOL OF BUSINESS POLICIES
Undergraduate Policies
Academic Standards
Critical Requirements
All business students must meet the critical requirements for their intended majors. Students who do not comply with the critical
requirements are off-track and have holds placed on their records. These students have to meet with an advisor to have this hold
removed. If the student still has not met all critical requirements in the following semester, then further registration in the
intended major is not permitted. For more information, access the Web site at wpcarey.asu.edu/up [1].
Probation
All business students, freshman through senior, must maintain a minimum GPA of 2.00 for all courses completed at ASU. If this
standard is not maintained, the student is placed on probation. Students on probation must see an advisor before further
registration. Students on probation must obtain a semester GPA of 2.50 with no grade lower than a “C” (2.00). If a student on
probation meets this requirement, but the cumulative GPA remains below 2.00, the student is given an additional semester on
continued probation. At the end of continued probation, the student must return to good standing (a minimum GPA of 2.00) to
avoid disqualification.
Disqualification
Students who do not meet probation requirements are academically disqualified. Disqualified students should meet with an
academic advisor. These students may attend ASU during summer and winter sessions; however, they are not eligible to enroll in
upper-division business courses.

2008-09 Academic Catalog 90

Reinstatement and Readmission
Students seeking reinstatement (after disqualification) or readmission (after an absence from the university) should contact the
undergraduate programs office, in BA 109, regarding procedures and guidance for returning to good standing.
Academic Dishonesty
The faculty of the W. P. Carey School of Business follow the guidelines in the Student Academic Integrity Policy on academic
dishonesty. A copy of the policy may be obtained in the undergraduate programs office, BA 109.

COLLEGE OF DESIGN POLICIES
Undergraduate Policies
Critical Requirements and Milestones
For more information about critical requirements, including the milestone, access design.asu.edu/students [1].
Critical Requirements
A new or transfer student who has been admitted to the university and has selected a college major is admitted to the program of
his or her choice. Each student must meet all critical requirements including the milestone at the end of the third semester. For
international students whose native language is not English, a TOEFL is required.
Milestone
Passing the milestone at the end of the third semester is competitive. Consult the requirements of each major for details. Students
who are interested in more than one program must meet the milestone requirements for both and must submit separate portfolios,
if required. Transfers requested past the third semester are considered only if vacancies occur, and such transfers are limited to
students with equivalent course work who are competitive with continuing students. Students who do not meet the critical
requirements but pass the milestone are not dismissed from the university and may transfer to other programs.

2008-09 Academic Catalog 91

Transfer Credits
While the university accepts credits transferred from other accredited institutions, transfer credits are not applied to specific
degree programs until reviewed and accepted by the appropriate academic units. Transfer course work must be equivalent in both
content and level of offering. In addition, a review of samples of work (portfolio format) from previous studio classes is required
to receive credit for studios. Students who change majors to transfer into the college or one of its program areas must have a
minimum cumulative GPA of 2.50.
Change of Major
Current ASU students who wish to change majors to one of the college’s degrees must have a cumulative ASU GPA of 2.50 or
higher.
Academic Advising
While the college provides academic advising, it is ultimately the responsibility of each student to fulfill academic and program
requirements. Advising and record keeping for students majoring in Architecture and Landscape Architecture, Graphic Design,
Housing and Community Development, Industrial Design, Interior Design, Urban Planning, and the BA in Design Studies are the
responsibility of a college academic advisor, located in CDS 115. General career advising is available from all faculty members.
Administration of program requirements is the responsibility of the head of the academic unit and the dean.
Appeals Procedures
Academic appeals and requests for variances are typically made to the student’s advisor and then, if necessary, to the head of the
appropriate academic unit, the College Standards and Appeals Committee, and finally, the dean. A student who feels unjustly
treated in academic or other matters relating to his or her career as a student may contact a college academic advisor or may take
the grievance to the college ombudsperson.

Academic Standards
A student in any of the college’s programs is placed on probation when he or she fails to maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.00.
Students on probation must observe rules or limitations the college imposes on their probation as a condition of retention. If, after
one semester on probation, the overall GPA is not at least 2.00 and the conditions of probation have not been met, the student is
disqualified for a minimum of two full academic semesters; however, students whose cumulative GPA is below 2.00, but are still
in academic good standing according to university standards, are ineligible to major in a College of Design program, but may be
eligible for majors in other colleges at ASU. A disqualified student may attend summer sessions at ASU to raise their cumulative
GPA. If a 2.00 or higher cumulative GPA is achieved upon completion of summer course work, the student may petition the
college for early reinstatement. Appeals may be made to the college Standards and Appeals Committee; see an academic advisor
for the necessary appeals forms. There are also other options available for immediate reinstatement for qualified students; see an
academic advisor to discuss these options. For more information, see Retention and Academic Standards. Students must earn a
grade of “C” (2.00) or higher in studio courses in order to progress to the next studio in sequence. If a student is already
registered for the next studio, and has earned a grade of “D” or “E” in the prerequisite studio, the student will be administratively
dropped from the subsequent studio.
Retention Standards
Students who have passed the milestone are placed on probation when any of the following occurs: 1. failure, incomplete, or
withdrawal from any required course; 2. a semester GPA below 3.00; 3. a grade of “D” (1.00) or “E” (0.00) in a design studio, a
design laboratory, or a design lecture; or 4. violation of the university’s Code of Student Conduct or any admission agreement.
Students on probation must observe rules or limitations that the college or academic unit places on their probation as a condition
of continuation. Students may be removed from a program (but not necessarily the university) if: 1. the requirements imposed are
not met or the probationary semester GPA is below 3.00 after one semester on probation; 2. failures or withdrawals in required
courses are not resolved at the next offering of the course; 3. they fail or withdraw from required sequential courses; or 4.

2008-09 Academic Catalog 92

incompletes in required sequential courses are not completed before the first day of class of the next semester. A student removed
from a program is not guaranteed reinstatement in the program even if probation requirements or requirements placed on
readmission are fulfilled. Appeals may be made first to the appropriate academic unit and, if necessary, to the college
Governance and Grievance Committee. For more information, see Retention and Academic Standards.
Incompletes
Students are responsible for contacting the instructor regarding the process of requesting and fulfilling an incomplete. Tardiness
in contacting the instructor may result in a failing grade. Students must obtain official “Request for Grade of Incomplete” forms
at design.asu.edu/students [1]. The completed form must include a justification, a listing of requirements that have not been
fulfilled, and a proposed schedule of completion. The instructor reviews the request, proposes modifications if necessary, and
submits a copy of the request to the appropriate office. An incomplete in any course that is a prerequisite for sequential courses
automatically denies enrollment in subsequent courses or could result in the student being administratively dropped from a
subsequent course if they are already enrolled in it. For more information, see Incomplete.
Withdrawals
University withdrawal regulations apply to all courses. In addition, because the college’s curricula are modular and sequential
and because space in the programs is limited, a student is expected to progress through the curriculum with his or her class.
Withdrawal from a required critical-requirements course automatically places a student on probation. Withdrawal from a required
course after the milestone in a required sequence automatically removes the student from the program beginning the subsequent
semester. For more information, see Grading System.
Pass/Fail or Credit/No Credit
The only courses accepted toward graduation with a grade of pass/fail or credit/no credit are internships and field studies.

MARY LOU FULTON COLLEGE OF EDUCATION POLICIES
Undergraduate Policies
Advising
All new students are required to meet with an academic advisor before registering for their first semester. To further assist and
support freshmen in their first year, these students are also required to meet with an advisor before registering for their second
semester. Each fall, freshmen are notified of “Welcome Week.” This is an opportunity to consult with advisors regarding
academic difficulties, avenues for student involvement in campus activities, and preparation of spring schedules. To schedule an
appointment with an advisor, call 480/965-5555.

Graduate Policies
General career advising in a program can be obtained by contacting the director of the division or the coordinator of the program
in which a degree is offered. After admission to a degree program, specific advice related to degree activities is provided by
supervisory committees. Postbaccalaureate students pursuing their teaching certification are advised by the Office of Student
Services in EDB L1-13. For more information, call 480/965-5555.
Continuous Enrollment and Reentry
Once admitted to a PhD or EdD degree program, the student is expected to be enrolled continuously, excluding summer sessions,
until all requirements for the degree have been fulfilled. Continuous enrollment promotes steady progress toward the completion
of the degree and an ongoing relationship between the student and faculty offering the program. If additional credit is not
required toward the PhD degree, the student may enroll for 595, 695, or 795 Continuing Registration. Continuing Registration
does not carry credit; no grade is given. If a program of study must be interrupted for one semester, the student may apply for
leave status. However, this leave status cannot exceed one semester. A student on leave is not required to pay fees, but is not
permitted to place any demands on university faculty or use any university facilities. A student who interrupts a program without
obtaining leave status may be removed automatically by the Graduate College, under the assumption that the student has decided
to discontinue the program. A student removed by the Graduate College for this reason may reapply for admission; the
application is considered along with all other new applications to the degree program.
An application for leave status, endorsed by the members of the student’s supervisory committee and the head of the academic
unit, must be approved by the dean of the Graduate College. This request must be filed and approved no later than the last day of
registration in the semester of anticipated absence.
Interdisciplinary PhD Lack of Progress Policy
Students admitted to the Interdisciplinary PhD program must be continuously enrolled to remain active in the program. This
means that students must be enrolled for at least one hour every fall and spring semester from the first semester of enrollment
until graduation. A student can be placed on academic probation for the following reasons:
1.
2.

failing to meet the scholarship requirements of the Graduate College, a GPA of 3.00 (on a 4.00 scale) or higher, or is
placed on probationary status, and
unsatisfactory progress as noted on Annual Review form by mentor or failure to meet for annual review.

2008-09 Academic Catalog 94

A student can be recommended for dismissal from the doctoral program if the following rules are not adhered to:
1.
2.

3.

students have four years from the date of admission to admission to candidacy,
students have five years after advancing to candidacy to complete and pass their dissertation. Students who are not
enrolled in dissertation hours and who are not making sufficient progress toward defending their dissertation can be
withdrawn from the program due to lack of progress, and
two semesters of probationary performance constitutes grounds for dismissal from the degree program.

Dismissal for any of the reasons cited above is automatic. The student receives notice from the Curriculum and Instruction
Graduate Programs Office that he or she has been removed from the program. A student may appeal any action concerning
dismissal by petitioning the Interdisciplinary Executive Committee.

IRA A. FULTON SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING POLICIES
Undergraduate Policies
Evaluation of Previous Course Work
Transferring from one institution to another or between programs can result in a net loss in units that count toward the degree.
Thus it is important for students who contemplate transferring into this school from another institution, whether a community
college or four-year institution, to carefully study the catalog material pertaining to the particular program to get a sense of what
courses may transfer.
Credit is granted for transferred courses deemed equivalent to corresponding courses in the selected program of study, subject to
grade and ASU resident credit requirements. No grades lower than “C” (2.00) are accepted as transfer credit to meet the
graduation requirements of this school. Credits transferred from a community college or two-year institution are applied only as
lower-division credits. For a listing of the acceptable courses transferable to the various degree programs, prospective Arizona
transfer students should consult their advisors and refer to the ASU transfer tools available on the Web at
www.asu.edu/provost/articulation [1].
It should be noted that some courses taken in other ASU colleges or other universities may be acceptable for general university
credit but may not be applicable toward the degree requirements of this school. Determination of those particular courses
applicable to a specific degree program is made within the appropriate academic unit with the approval of the dean.
Currency of Course Work

2008-09 Academic Catalog 95

Courses taken more than five years before admission to degree programs in this school are not normally accepted for transfer
credit at the option of the department in which the applicant wishes to enroll. Courses completed within the five years preceding
admission are judged as to their applicability to the student’s curriculum.
General Education Development
Students admitted to the university after successful completion of the General Education Development examination are admitted
to the freshman and sophomore portion of the program within their major provided they meet the minimum ACT or SAT score
required for admission as listed in the Fulton School of Engineering Admission Requirements for Freshmen and Transfer
Students table.
Readmission
Undergraduates who have been away from the university for one or more semesters and want to return to ASU in a Fulton School
of Engineering program are required to apply for readmission through the University Registrar’s office.
Students who left ASU as ineligible or disqualified must first request reinstatement. All other readmission requests are processed
as follows:
Fulton School of Engineering students seeking readmission to the Fulton program they left are readmitted to the Fulton program
into the same portion of the program and the same academic standing (i.e., good academic standing or on probation) they had
when they left ASU.
Fulton School of Engineering students who are seeking readmission to a Fulton program other than the program they left and
who have an ASU GPA of 3.00 or higher are readmitted to the new Fulton School of Engineering program in the freshman and
sophomore portion with the same academic standing they had when leaving ASU.
Fulton School of Engineering students and non-Fulton School students seeking readmission to a Fulton program, other than the
program they were in when they left, and who have an ASU GPA less than 3.00 are subject to the admission by change of major
process. These requests for readmission are reviewed on an individual basis. If the request for readmission is approved, the
student is readmitted to the new Fulton School of Engineering program in the freshman and sophomore portion with the same
academic standing they had when leaving ASU.
Once readmitted, returning students are required to meet with a program advisor before enrolling in courses at ASU.

Advising
Successful completion of a program in the Fulton School of Engineering requires careful planning. While final responsibility for
becoming familiar with and understanding academic degree requirements lies with the student, each department employs
professional academic advisors who work with students in setting academic and career goals; understanding school and
university policies and procedures; meeting degree requirements; and becoming familiar with the university’s and the school’s
sources of academic support. Students may also work with a faculty advisor familiar with the chosen field of specialization.
Students should consult with an advisor prior to registering each semester.
Students are encouraged to utilize the eAdvisor [2] tool for academic planning. eAdvisor provides Critical Requirements and
Major Maps [3] which are individualized student reports that layout a specific, clear, and accurate track to timely completion of
the intended degree.
Many students find it necessary to work while attending ASU. The working student should endeavor to create a careful balance
of work and class responsibilities to avoid academic problems. Students should inform faculty and professional advisors of any
outside work or activity so that course loads may be adjusted accordingly.
Advisors and staff in the Office of the Associate Dean for Academic and Student Affairs in the school are available to assist
individual students with many different types of advising issues. They work with students to answer general questions regarding

2008-09 Academic Catalog 96

policy and procedure; help with registration transactions; administer the probation, disqualification, and readmission processes;
oversee disciplinary actions; hear grade grievances; and assist with other administrative matters. For more information, access the
school’s Web site at www.fulton.asu.edu/fulton [4].

Registration
Students are required to register for courses using one of the university-provided processes. As part of the registration process,
the school enforces the following registration restrictions.
Mandatory Advising
All first-year students, all student athletes, and students who are found to be having academic difficulty are required to be advised
before they can register for classes, including summer sessions. Some programs relax the advising requirement after the first
year, so students should consult their department to determine if advising is required.
Maximum Hours
Students enrolled in an undergraduate degree program in this school may register for a maximum of 19 semester hours each
semester. Any student wanting to register for more than the maximum must submit a College Standards petition and have an
approval on file prior to registering for the overload.
Probationary Status
Students who have been placed on academic probation must be advised by a faculty or professional advisor from within the
academic unit of their major and complete the Student Self Assessment for Academic Success (SSAAS) form at
http://www.fulton.asu.edu/fulton/students/sas/academicstandards.php [5]. The SSAAS form in designed to assist students
in identifying a path to academic success. Students on probation are limited to 13 semester hours.
Undergraduate Nondegree Status
Students who are enrolled in an undergraduate nondegree status in this school must obtain advising and approval to register
before registering each semester from the Office of the Associate Dean of Academic and Student Affairs.
Course Prerequisites
Students should consult the Schedule of Classes and the catalog for course prerequisites. Students who register for courses
without the designated prerequisites may be withdrawn without the student’s consent at any time before the final examination.
Such withdrawal may be initiated by the instructor, the chair of the department offering the course, or the dean of the college. In
such cases, students will not receive monetary reimbursement.
Pass/Fail Grades
Students enrolled in the school do not receive degree credit for pass/fail courses taken at this institution. In addition, no course in
this school is offered for pass/fail credit. Students requesting credit for pass/fail courses taken at another institution must file a
College Standards petition to the department of their major. Each request is judged on its particular merits.
Non-Fulton School of Engineering Students
Students who are not admissible to programs in this school and who enroll in another school at ASU may not register for any
300- or 400-level courses in this school unless the course(s) are required in their degree program and the students have the proper
course prerequisites.

Academic Standards

2008-09 Academic Catalog 97

The school has developed and enforces a number of academic standards, these are designed to support students who are
struggling academically and to insure the quality of the school’s graduates.
Student Responsibilities
Students need to make many decisions as they complete their degrees. While the school and the university have a number of
resources available (e.g., faculty, courses, advisors and tutors) to help in making the decisions, students are expected to take
responsibility for their decisions.
Satisfactory Progress
Students are expected to select and successfully complete courses that lead to the timely completion of their degree. Students are
said to be making satisfactory progress if they (1) maintain an acceptable GPA, (2) enroll in and complete critical tracking
requirements, and (3) complete courses each semester that are applicable to their degree. Students who are making satisfactory
progress are said to be in good standing.
Probation
Some students do not make satisfactory progress and these students generally need extra attention and resources to help them get
back on track. Such students are placed on probation to help ensure that they get the necessary help. There are many reasons why
students fail to make satisfactory progress. Working with an academic advisor to plan a strategy for success is crucial. Students
may be required to reduce their course load (13 semester hours maximum), retake courses, or even take courses outside of the
program if the advisor judges these measures will help bring the student back to academic good standing.
Conditions for Probation
A student is placed on probation when specific academic expectations are not met. Some conditions trigger an automatic
placement on probation whereas others trigger an automatic review of the student’s case to determine if probation is warranted.
When a probation review is triggered, the final decision is made by the student’s department, which also determines any
conditions of probation.
Automatic probation is triggered by any of the following:
1.
2.
3.

a semester or summer session with a GPA less than or equal to 1.50,
two successive semesters with GPAs less than 2.00, or
an ASU Cumulative GPA below 2.00 (for more than 55 semester hours).

Automatic review is triggered by any one of the following:
1.
2.
3.

an ASU cumulative GPA less than 2.00 (0 to 55 semester hours),
a cumulative GPA in the major of less than 2.00, or
a failure to complete any courses appropriate for the degree during each semester

Courses completed during summer sessions are not used to reevaluate a student’s fall semester probationary status.
Ineligibility
Students who are on academic probation and fail to meet the school’s retention standards become ineligible to continue working
toward a degree within the school. Ineligible students who cannot transfer to another program within ASU are designated as
disqualified.
Ineligibility occurs if the probationary student:

2008-09 Academic Catalog 98

1.
2.
3.
4.

does not attain a semester GPA of 2.25 or higher, or
has a cumulative GPA below 2.00 at the end of the probationary semester, or
has already been on probation for two consecutive semesters, or
failed to complete any courses appropriate for the degree during each semester.

Ineligible students are subject to the following limitations:
1.
2.

Students who change colleges may not register for courses in engineering unless the courses are required by their new
major.
Students who register for courses in the school may be withdrawn from these courses any time during the semester they
are registered.

Ineligible students are encouraged to consider these options:
1.

2.
3.

Student may be eligible to change their major to another college if they have an acceptable cumulative GPA. The
acceptable GPA level depends on the number of hours completed course work. Students should check with an advisor
in the Office of Academic Affairs to determine if they are eligible.
Student may take nonengineering courses during summer and winter sessions.
Student may request a review of their status by contacting the Office of Academic and Student Affairs.

Reinstatement Process
Students who were ineligible or disqualified when they left the Fulton School of Engineering and ASU must request
reinstatement as part of the readmission process.
Reinstatement:
1.
2.

3.

is only considered after a student has remained out of the school for at least 12 months,
requires a student to supply proof that he or she is now capable of successfully completing courses in the discipline
(e.g., completion at another postsecondary institution of at least 15 hours of appropriate course work at a GPA of 3.00
or higher), and
requires a combined ASU plus transfer GPA of 2.50 or higher.

If the reinstatement request is approved and the readmission request involves a change of major, then the change of major review
must be completed. All students who gain readmission through reinstatement return on probation at the portion of the program
that is deemed appropriate by the program to which the student is being readmitted.

Graduate Policies
Policy for Maintaining Satisfactory Progress
A student who has been admitted to a graduate degree program in Engineering, with either regular or provisional admission
status, must maintain a 3.0 or higher grade point average (GPA):
1.

SCHOOL OF GLOBAL MANAGEMENT AND LEADERSHIP POLICIES
Note: On November 20th, 2008, the Arizona Board of Regents' Academic Affairs Committee voted to disestablish the School of
Global Management and Leadership on ASU's West campus. The W. P. Carey School of Business now oversees the business
education needs of ASU students on both the Tempe and West campuses. Please visit the W. P. Carey School of Business Web
site [1] for more information.

Undergraduate Policies
Pass/Fail
School of Global Management and Leadership undergraduate students may not include among the semester hours required for
graduation any courses taken at this university on a pass/fail basis. This policy excludes some courses such as internship, which
may be offered only for satisfactory/fail credit.

Academic Standards
The following are minimum academic standards applicable to all degree and certificate programs offered by the School of Global
Management and Leadership. Some programs may have more specific or more stringent requirements.
Probation
Students are placed on probation when their GPA for all courses taken at ASU drops below a 2.00 minimum.

2008-09 Academic Catalog 100

Disqualification
Probationary students have at most the next two consecutive semesters to raise their ASU GPA to the minimum 2.00 or higher. In
the first semester of probation the student must receive a grade of “C” (2.00) or higher in all courses and have a GPA of at least
2.50 for the semester. Immediate disqualification occurs if either of these conditions are not met. If both are satisfied but the GPA
for ASU courses still remains below 2.00, then the student may be given a second semester under probation to raise the GPA to
the minimum. The student is disqualified from the business program if the ASU GPA has not been restored to at least 2.00 after
the two semesters.
Reinstatement
The School of Global Management and Leadership does not accept applications for reinstatement until the disqualified student
has remained out of the college for at least a 12-month period. Merely remaining in a disqualified status for the above period of
time does not, in itself, constitute a basis for reinstatement. Evidence of ability to do satisfactory academic work is required.
Students who have been academically disqualified are permitted to enroll in courses during summer sessions in order to raise
their ASU GPA. Disqualified students may not enroll in upper-division business courses until they have been reinstated in a
business program.
Academic Dishonesty
School of Global Management and Leadership students are expected to adhere to the ASU Academic Integrity Policy. A copy of
the policy may be obtained from the school’s Advising Office.

BARRETT, THE HONORS COLLEGE POLICIES
Curriculum
Students planning to graduate from Barrett must also graduate from a disciplinary college. The ASU honors curriculum normally
allows students to finish all requirements within the 120 semester hours of credit usually required for graduation. Thirty-six of
those credits are honors courses—with a minimum of 18 upper-division credits.

Special Programs
Lorraine W. Frank Office of National Scholarship Advisement
The Lorraine W. Frank Office of National Scholarship Advisement assists students by identifying nationally competitive
programs appropriate to each person’s intellectual and career goals, nurturing these prospective applicants and advancing their
candidacy. This office, administered by the college, serves the entire ASU community. ASU students regularly earn distinction in
the most rigorous and prestigious scholarship competitions. Many pursue enhanced degree programs and research projects under
the auspices of Goldwater or Truman Scholarships. Other students undertake postgraduate study in the United States and abroad
as Rhodes, Marshall, Fulbright, Udall, National Science Foundation or Mellon Scholars. Many others have been recognized by a
range of postgraduate awards, fellowships and assistantships. This office does not administer any need- or merit-based student
financial assistance. For more information, call 480/965-5894.
Undergraduate Research Opportunities

2008-09 Academic Catalog 101

Undergraduate research and creative opportunities are available across many disciplinary programs, centers and institutes at
ASU. Barrett maintains lists of current opportunities, available by accessing the college’s Web site at honors.asu.edu [1]. In
addition, the college actively seeks new opportunities matching student training with emerging research on campus.
Study Abroad
Students in Barrett have exclusive access to study abroad programs that significantly enhance their educational experience.
Directed and taught by Barrett faculty, these programs usually occur during the first summer session and last between five and
six and a half weeks and allow students to earn honors credit while overseas. The five current programs offer students the
privilege of studying in several of the most significant and dynamic cities in China, Europe and Latin America. The London,
Dublin and Edinburgh program has been offered since 1995, the Paris and Loire Valley program since 1998, the Latin American
program since 2002, the China program in 2007 and the Athens, Crete and Rome program started in 2008. The International
Programs Office offers semester- and year-long programs abroad for students who desire a fuller experience. Often, students who
have participated in one of Barrett’s summer programs realize the major benefits of studying abroad and choose to continue
through extended programs.
Internships/Mentorships/Opportunities
Students in Barrett may participate in special internship opportunities—in government, industry and the private sector—
throughout metropolitan Phoenix. The college maintains a database of special opportunities, including community service and
international and cultural events. For more information, call 480/727-6993.
Events/Programming
Students enrolled in Barrett are given special access when important contributors to contemporary thought in society visit ASU.
Each year the college hosts the university’s premier scholar-in-residence program, the Centennial Lecture. Past guests include
novelist Carlos Fuentes, paleontologist Steven Jay Gould, psychiatrist Robert Coles, microbiologist Lynn Margulis, essayist
Susan Sontag, paleoanthropologist Meave Leakey, American Indian author N. Scott Momaday, Pulitzer Prize winning authors
David Halberstam and Anna Quindlen, prolific and wide-ranging African American author and National Book Award recipient
Charles Johnson, playwright Edward Albee, a prominent innovator in modern American drama, and Kathleen Sullivan, a
renowned constitutional law scholar.
The college is also home to the John J. Rhodes Chair, designed to bring persons to the college who have significantly contributed
to civic life and distinguished themselves as public service leaders. Students have unique opportunities to engage intellectually
with these outstanding visiting lecturers. In 1998, the college was honored to have Dr. Henry A. Kissinger serve as the inaugural
chair. American Indian scholar Donald Lee Fixico was the 2002 Rhodes Lecturer, followed by Jean Strause, notable biographer
of J. P. Morgan in 2003, world-renowned astronomer David Levy in 2004, and leading alternate energy expert Hal Harvey in
2005. The Rhodes Lecturer in 2006 was economist and author Sylvia Ann Hewlett followed by long-time CNN anchor and
journalist Aaron Brown in 2007.
Additional Benefits
Barrett and all its facilities and services are fully available to every student, regardless of where he or she lives. The Honors Halls
of Residence offer students an integrated living-learning environment. Barrett has its own faculty and academic advisors to serve
all honors students. Classrooms, recreational and study lounges, and a state-of-the-art computing lab make up the principal
facilities of the college.
Students enrolled in Barrett receive priority at preregistration and have extended checkout privileges in the campus libraries.
Honors courses in disciplinary departments are typically limited to 25 students. Honors courses (with the prefix HON) are usually
limited to 19.
Students who meet all requirements of both their disciplinary college and Barrett receive transcript recognition of that
accomplishment, as well as special acknowledgment during graduation ceremonies and collegiate honors convocations.

2008-09 Academic Catalog 102

Barrett students have diverse interests and strong records of success. Many are accepted into the nation’s finest graduate and
professional programs, including Chicago, Cornell, Harvard, Michigan, MIT, Northwestern, Stanford, UC-Berkeley, Virginia,
Wisconsin and Yale. Many students have published portions of their honors theses and have presented their work at national and
regional meetings of scientific and honors societies.

Admission
Students who have demonstrated high levels of academic achievement in high school or college may apply for admission to
Barrett. All candidates for admission must file an application to the college separate from their ASU application.
Applicants are evaluated on the basis of their high school GPA (Arizona Board of Regents GPA based on 16 competency
courses), high school class rank, and performance on the SAT or ACT; as well as talents that contribute to leadership and
community service. Continuing ASU or transfer students are evaluated on their college GPA.
Application forms and additional information about the college and its activities are available by calling 480/965-2359 or by
accessing the Web site at honors.asu.edu [1].
Retention
Honors students must maintain high standards of academic performance and show progress toward completion of graduation
requirements in their disciplinary majors and in Barrett. In order to graduate from Barrett, students must complete the following
(which includes a total of 36 semester hours of honors course work):
1.
2.

3.

4.

5.

6.
7.

HON 171 and 272/273 The Human Event must be completed by the time a student has earned 45 semester hours at
ASU. Students are placed on inactive status if this requirement is not met.
Thirty additional semester hours of honors course work must be earned with a letter grade of “C” or higher. This may
include HON prefix classes, honors sections of classes, honors contracts, or any automatic honors course such as ENG
105 (in-person sections), CHM 117, CHM 118, or PHY 333, or any graduate-level course.
Included in the 30 semester hours of honors course work are 18 hours of upper-division or graduate-level honors credits
for an earned letter grade of “C” or higher, including six semester hours of honors course work outside the academic
major. Students should investigate specialized honors upper-division tracks within their majors.
Upper division transfer students (defined as 60 or more university credits completed at the time of Barrett application)
must complete a three credit 300-level upper-division HON special topics course in addition to the 18 required hours of
upper-division honors course work. A total of 21 hours of upper-division honors course work are required for these
transfers because transfers do not have time to complete all 36 honors hours.
Students are required to complete an honors thesis/creative project for at least three semester hours though students are
encouraged to complete six thesis semester hours. The thesis semester hours may be included in the 18 required hours
of upper-division honors course work. The thesis is launched with a prospectus form due one academic year before the
defense. The final copy must be filed by the last week of classes during the student’s graduation semester.
ASU graduation requirements in an academic major must be met.
The student must maintain a cumulative ASU GPA of 3.25 or higher.

Barrett students are expected to meet regularly with honors advisors. Three sessions are mandatory: one during the first semester
in Barrett, one during the third semester, and another during the sixth semester. To make an appointment with an honors advisor,
call 480/965-9155. Office hours are Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., in MB C100-L1.
Course Requirements
Barrett course requirements may be met in a variety of ways. There are two specific required courses for first year students. Only
courses in which a student receives a grade of “C” (2.00) or higher may be used to meet Barrett requirements.
Those entering the college as lower-division students must take 18 lower-division honors credits, which include HON 171 and
272/273 The Human Event. This cross-disciplinary seminar acquaints them with ideas that form the foundation of a university

2008-09 Academic Catalog 103

education and emphasizes critical thinking, discussion and writing. Barrett students complete HON 171 and 272/273 during their
first 45 units at ASU.
Those who enter as upper-division students must take 21 upper division honors credits, including a required 300-level honors
course. Junior-level seminar courses introduce them to critical thinking, discussion, and writing in a topical area chosen by the
instructor. It is expected that all students complete this course no later than the first or second semester after transferring.
Departmental honors-only courses in the ASU Online Schedule of Classes are limited to honors students and others who receive
special permission from the instructor to enroll. Enrollment in these courses is limited. Compared to their nonhonors equivalents,
these courses are designed to offer a richer, more complex intellectual experience appropriate to the discipline and the level of the
course for all students enrolled. Other disciplinary honors courses group honors students in small cohorts to work on research
projects of common interest.
Honors contracts are available in many departmental courses allowing honors students to contract with the instructor of
designated nonhonors courses to earn honors credit by pursuing enrichment activities, which may include supplemental sessions
with the instructor. Honors contracts must be filed during the first four weeks of class and completed during the semester in
which the course is offered. Each contract form offers guidelines to aid students and faculty in developing appropriate contracts.
Course numbers listed in the Online ASU Schedule of Classes as 298/492 Honors Directed Study, 493 Honors Thesis, 497
Honors Colloquium, and all classes with the HON prefix are reserved for students in Barrett and always count for honors credit.
Students may receive credit for more than one of each of these courses in a given department.
Departmental courses with the number 493 are reserved for honors students completing their honors theses and creative projects.
A student may enroll for these courses only with the approval of the sponsoring academic department and of the faculty member
who serves as the student’s thesis director. Course numbers listed in the Online ASU Interactive Schedule of Classes as 493
fulfill the student’s upper-division literacy and critical inquiry (L) General Studies requirement.
There are certain courses that carry automatic honors credit. These include ENG 105 (any in-person section) and CHM 117 and
118. MAT 300, PHY 201, and PHY 333, when taken by students with 45 or fewer semester hours also carry automatic honors
credit, as long as the student receives a grade “A” (4.00) or “B” (3.00). Graduate level courses automatically earn honors credit.

Honors Transcript Recognition
All courses used to fulfill graduation requirements for Barrett must carry earned letter grades of at least “C” (2.00). A “Y” grade
meets college requirements only for HON 492 Honors Directed Study and HON 493 Honors Thesis.
Graduation Requirements
To graduate through Barrett, students must
•
complete all honors course requirements,
•
complete all required semester hours of honors course work with a grade of “C” (2.00) or higher (a “Y” grade is
allowed for HON 492, HON 493, and for one-semester-hour courses offered through Barrett) unless otherwise
provided for by Barrett and the college of the student’s major,
•
complete ASU graduation requirements in an academic major, and
•
earn a cumulative ASU GPA greater than or equal to 3.25 (4.00 = A).

SANDRA DAY O’CONNOR COLLEGE OF LAW POLICIES
Graduate Policies
Retention Standards
Beginning with the entering class of 2006-2007, law students must maintain a cumulative weighted GPA of 73.00 or higher at the
end of the first year and each semester thereafter. Any student who fails to achieve a 70.00 GPA as of the end of the first year is
permanently disqualified from enrollment. A student whose GPA falls in the 70.00 to 72.999 range is disqualified but can apply
for readmission to the Office of the Dean. The Office of the Dean refers the application to a faculty Committee on Readmission.
In cases where the GPA deficiency is slight and evidence of extenuating circumstances is convincing, readmission may be
granted on a probationary status after a review of the reasons contributing to unsatisfactory performance and a finding that there
is a substantial prospect for future acceptable academic performance. Continuation in school thereafter may be conditioned on
achieving a level of performance higher than the overall 73.00 GPA.
Honor Code
The legal profession, a self-regulating association, depends on the integrity, honor and personal morality of each member.
Similarly, the integrity and value of a Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law degree depends on a reputation for fair competition.
The college’s Honor Code is intended as a measure to preserve the integrity of the school’s diploma and to create an arena in
which students can compete fairly and confidently. Copies of the Honor Code are available from the college’s Student Services
Office.
Advising
Academic assistance is available through the Office of the Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs.
Admissions Process
The Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law offers a full-time, daytime program. New students are admitted to the Juris Doctor
(JD) program for the fall semester only. To be considered for admission to the JD program, an applicant must
1.

demonstrate that he or she will have earned an undergraduate degree from an accredited four-year college or university
by the time of enrollment in the JD program,
take the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) and provide a reportable score from that test,
submit a completed application, and
register with the Law School Data Assembly Service (LSDAS). Note: The LSAT and LSDAS are administered by the
Law School Admission Council (LSAC). The undergraduate record and LSAT score are only two of many factors
considered for admission.

2008-09 Academic Catalog 106

COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS AND SCIENCES POLICIES
Undergraduate Policies
Advising
All students are urged to seek advising in the appropriate college unit before registration. Students must follow the calendar
published in the Registration and Tuition Payment Guide each semester for information and deadlines pertaining to enrollment,
adding/dropping classes, and withdrawals.
In addition to information provided by an advisor, students must read the requirements for university General Studies, college
graduation, and major degree requirements in their edition of the ASU General Catalog [1]. The ASU General Catalog is the
governing source for all degree requirements.
Regular Advising
All students are strongly urged to seek advising in the appropriate college unit before registration.
eAdvisor
Members of the fall 2007 freshman class have a new way to manage their academic experience. ASU is introducing eAdvisor,
which gives students the tools to successfully follow their major map to graduation. eAdvisor assists students in
1. learning more about graduation requirements for their major;
2. discerning what critical-requirement courses and grades are required to stay on track to successfully complete their
degree;
3. planning for and scheduling appropriate courses in the correct sequence to maximize success;
4. monitoring progress toward their degree; and
5. finding out how courses may fit into other majors if they decide to change majors.
Access eAdvisor at https://webapp.asu.edu/eadvisor/ [2].
Advising Locations
College of Liberal Arts students should seek routine advising at the locations shown in the Advising Locations table below.
The Office of Student and Academic Programs, in FULTN 110, is the central resource center for academic information in the

2008-09 Academic Catalog 108

Students pursuing admission to professional schools in the health professions must choose a major offered by ASU. However,
specific courses must be taken to prepare the student to take the MCAT or other entrance examinations and to succeed in
postbaccalaureate training. Therefore, students who plan to pursue a health profession should meet regularly with the Health
Professions staff for guidance. While this guidance does not replace the need to meet with an advisor in the department of the
student’s major, health professions advising is a necessary supplement. To schedule a meeting with Health Professions, located in
FULTN 110, call 480-965-2365.
Prelaw
The American Bar Association does not recommend any specific major for students who wish to apply to law school upon
graduation. ASU does not have a “prelaw” degree program. Therefore, students should select a major that interests them. Recent
surveys of law school graduates indicate that students would be well advised to take one or two semesters of accounting as a
supplement to their major curriculum. In addition, the American Bar Association recommends a variety of courses in the classics,
economics, and mathematical reasoning. Courses that engage the student in intense critical analysis and a substantial amount of
writing are also recommended. As the student approaches the second semester of his or her junior year, the student should contact
the prelaw advisor in the college or department of his or her major to obtain information regarding the procedure to apply to law
school.
Internships
All students are encouraged to complete at least one internship before graduation; some majors require internships. Many college
disciplines have well-established internship programs, so students should begin seeking information in their academic
departments.

College Graduation Requirements
All students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences must complete the university General Studies requirement as well as all
requirements in the major. In addition, the college has established requirements that are specific to the Bachelor of Arts and
Bachelor of Science degrees.
A. Bachelor of Arts Degrees. Students pursuing BA degrees in the college must demonstrate intermediate proficiency in a second
language by completing the courses specified below with a grade of “C” (2.00) or higher in each course. Second language course
requirements consist of
1.

2.
3.
4.

completion of second language course work at the intermediate level (202 or equivalent, those students completing this
requirement in Ancient Greek must take both GRK 301 and 302; students completing the requirement in Portuguese or
Romanian must complete POR 314 or ROM 314),
a foreign language course at the 300 level or higher taught in the foreign language and having 202 or its equivalent as a
prerequisite,
completion of secondary education at a school in which the language of instruction is not English, or
completion of SHS 202 American Sign Language IV or its equivalent.

B. Bachelor of Science degrees. Students pursuing BS degrees in the college must complete six semester hours (two courses) of
“Science and Society” courses. Students should consult with an advisor in the department or school of their major for a list of
appropriate courses.
C. All students are required to take a minimum of MAT 119 or higher. A grade of “C” (2.00) or higher must be earned in the
chosen mathematics course.

Major Requirements
Each student is required to select a major from among the fields of study offered by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The
requirements for completion of the major are described under departmental listings.

2008-09 Academic Catalog 109

A. The major department may require up to 45 semester hours of course work. The minimum is 30 hours. A maximum of 15
additional hours may be required in related courses and prerequisites. No more than 60 semester hours of course work may be
required to complete the major, related courses, and prerequisites. Some departments require calculus-level mathematics; up to
five of these semester hours may be excluded from the 60-hour maximum because they satisfy the mathematics proficiency
requirement. A minimum of 12 upper-division hours in the major must be taken in residence.

B. No credit is granted toward fulfilling major or minor requirements in any upper-division course in that subject field unless the
grade in that course is at least a “C” (2.00). In CLAS, the assignment of a grade of “Y” indicates a level of performance that
would have resulted in a grade of at least “C” (2.00) had the normal grading scheme been used.
See the individual departments for other minimum grade requirements.
C. Major fields of study are classified into the following three divisions:

General Electives

2008-09 Academic Catalog 110

Most liberal arts and sciences majors can meet all of the above requirements with fewer than the 120 semester hours required for
graduation. Remaining hours are general electives that may be selected from any of the departments of CLAS and from the
offerings of the other colleges.
Declaration of Graduation
The declaration of graduation, which is required by university regulations during the semester in which an undergraduate earns
the 87th hour, must be filed and approved at least two weeks before the registration period for the subsequent semester. Students
should run a new Degree Audit Reporting System report every semester to gauge how well they are meeting all requirements for
graduation. Students should contact the Office of Student and Academic Programs, in FULTN 110, regarding college graduation
rules and deadlines. Deadlines for filing the declaration of graduation after enrolling in the 87th hour are March 1 and October 1
of each year. Students with 87 hours must have a college-approved declaration of graduation before registering for the next
semester.
Credit Requirement
All candidates for graduation in the BA and BS degree curricula are required to complete at least 120 semester hours, of which at
least 45 hours must consist of upper-division courses. A minimum ASU cumulative GPA of 2.00 is required for graduation.
Concurrent Degrees
Students who wish to obtain concurrent degrees must realize that there are certain combinations that would not be approved
because there is too great an overlap between the courses required for each major. For example, students may not obtain
concurrent degrees in two life sciences. Students who wish to obtain concurrent degrees may not double-count courses from one
major to the next, but must have at least 30 different semester hours in each major.
Course Load
The normal course load is 15 to 16 semester hours. First-semester freshmen and entering transfer students are not permitted to
register for more than 18 semester hours in the initial semester. Other students who wish to register for more than 18 hours must
have a GPA of at least 3.00 and must file a petition in the Office of Student and Academic Programs, in FULTN 110, before
registration. Any petition for an overload in excess of 21 hours must be presented to the Standards Committee of the college. No
student should assume that his or her petition for overload will be granted.

Special Credit Options
Pass/Fail Grade Option
The pass/fail grade option is intended to broaden the education of Liberal Arts and Sciences undergraduates by encouraging them
to take advanced courses outside their specialization. A mark of “P” contributes to the student’s earned hours but does not affect
the GPA. A failing grade is computed into the GPA.
Only CLAS students with at least 60 semester hours may take courses under the pass/fail option. The option may be used under
the following conditions:
1.
2.
3.

enrollment for pass/fail needs the approval of the instructor and the college,
enrollment under this option must be indicated during registration and may not be changed after the late registration
period, and
a maximum of 12 hours taken for pass/fail may be counted toward graduation.

Students may not enroll under the pass/fail option in the following courses:
1.

those taken to satisfy the second language or First-Year Composition requirements,

2008-09 Academic Catalog 111

2.
3.
4.
5.
6.

those in the student’s major, minor, or certificate program,
those counted toward or required to supplement the major,
those counted as 499 Individualized Instruction,
those taken for honors credits, or
those counted toward satisfying the CLAS graduation requirements or the General Studies requirement.

Audit Grade Option
A student may choose to audit a course in which he or she attends regularly scheduled class sessions but earns no credit. The
student should obtain the instructor’s approval before registering for the course.
Note: This grade option may not be changed after the drop/add period.

Academic Standards
The standards for GPA and the terms of probation, disqualification, reinstatement, and appeal are identical to those of the
university as set forth under Retention and Academic Standards, except that the disqualified student in CLAS is suspended for at
least two regular semesters at the university. When students are placed on probation, one of three things can happen:
1.
2.

3.

the student may raise his or her cumulative GPA to academic good standing by taking new classes and be removed
from probation after the fall or spring semester;
the student may receive the required semester GPA, but not raise the cumulative GPA to academic good standing, in
which case, the student may continue on probation, earning the required semester GPA, for as many semesters as it
takes to raise the cumulative GPA to good standing; or
the student may fail to achieve the required semester GPA and be disqualified.

Students who leave the university for a semester or more while on probation are not automatically readmitted. Such students, as
well as all disqualified students, should contact the Office of Student and Academic Programs in FULTN 110, regarding
procedures and guidance for reinstatement and returning to good standing. By following recommendations and meeting
established standards for summer school work or course work at other institutions, the possibility of successful reinstatement is
enhanced. Academic discipline is one of the functions of the Office of Undergraduate Programs. All students having academic
difficulties of any kind should contact this office. Also available in this office is information on policies and procedures of the
college on academic honesty, student grievances with respect to grades, and various petitions regarding college standards and
graduation requirements.
Academic honesty is expected of all students in all examinations, papers, academic transactions and records. The possible
sanctions include, but are not limited to, appropriate grade penalties, loss of registration privileges, disqualification and dismissal.
Student Responsibilities
Any student enrolling in courses offered by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is expected to follow the rules and deadlines
specified in this catalog and the current Registration and Tuition Payment Guide. Students are urged to meet with their
departmental academic advisors before registration. Students with additional questions or problems are also urged to meet with
advisors in the Office of Student and Academic Programs, in FULTN 110, regarding the academic rules of the college and the
university.

Graduate Policies
Advising
Faculty advisors in each academic unit provide guidance to graduate students from admission through completion of the program.
Consult the director of graduate studies in the appropriate academic unit. Graduate students must follow an approved program of
study filed with the Graduate College. The calendar for enrollment activities is published in the schedule of classes for each

2008-09 Academic Catalog 112

semester. Teaching and research assistants, who are required to be enrolled in at least six hours, as well as those enrolled for
individual project, thesis, and dissertation credit, are subject to the same calendar deadlines as students enrolled in regularly
scheduled classes.

NEW COLLEGE OF INTERDISCIPLINARY ARTS AND SCIENCES
POLICIES
Undergraduate Policies
Degree Requirements
All candidates for graduation in the BA and BS degree curricula are required to present at least 120 semester hours, of which at
least 45 semester hours must consist of upper-division courses. A minimum cumulative GPA of 2.00 is required for graduation.
In cooperation with their college advisors, students file a Declaration of Graduation in accordance with the degree requirements.
It is the students’ responsibility to be aware of the requirements for their degree program and to select courses accordingly.
To graduate, a student must satisfy separate requirements of three kinds:
1.
2.
3.

college proficiency requirements for Language and Cultures and Mathematics,
university First-Year Composition and General Studies requirements, and
major requirements that involve concentrated course work in one program.

Proficiency Requirements
Each student is required to demonstrate proficiency in the analysis of language and cultures and mathematics by passing an
examination or by completing the courses specified below with a grade of “C” (2.00) or higher in each course.
Students considering graduate work after completion of a bachelor’s degree should consult with faculty advisors regarding
language requirements in their intended areas of study.

2008-09 Academic Catalog 113

Language and Cultures
This requirement may be satisfied through one of the following:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

completion of secondary education at a school in which the language of instruction is not English,
completion of a language course at the intermediate level (202 or equivalent), including American Sign Language IV,
completion of upper-division course(s) taught in a foreign language, taken in the United States or the relevant country,
completion of six semester hours of upper-division courses that have a Global Awareness (G) or Cultural Diversity in
the U.S. (C) designation, in addition to the courses used to meet the University General Studies requirements, or
completion of two sequential semesters of course work in a current computer language. Contact the college Advising
Office for information on applicable course work.

Mathematics
MAT 142 or any MAT course for which MAT 117 or a higher level MAT course is a prerequisite.
Major Requirements
Each student is required to select a major from among the programs offered by the New College of Interdisciplinary Arts and
Sciences.
The major program may require up to 45 semester hours of course work. The minimum is 30 hours. A maximum of 18 additional
hours may be required in related courses and prerequisites. No more than 63 semester hours of course work may be required to
complete the major, related courses, and prerequisites. A minimum of 12 upper-division semester hours required for the major
must be taken within the New College of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences.
No credit is granted toward fulfilling major or minor requirements in any upper-division course in the subject field of the major
unless the grade in that course is at least a “C” (2.00). Normally a “Y” (satisfactory) grade needs confirmation that it is equivalent
to a “C” (2.00) or higher.
General Electives
Once the three kinds of requirements have been satisfied, the remainder of the minimum of 120 semester hours required for
graduation are general electives. Contact college advisors for assistance in selecting elective courses.

COLLEGE OF NURSING & HEALTHCARE INNOVATION POLICIES
Undergraduate Policies
Admission
Preprofessional Admission
Students are admitted into the College of Nursing & Healthcare Innovation as “pre-major nursing” students. Admission to ASU
as a pre-major nursing student does not guarantee admission into the professional program. Admission to the professional

2008-09 Academic Catalog 114

program requires a separate application to the College of Nursing & Healthcare Innovation and is competitive, with the greatest
emphasis placed on grade point average based on selected prerequisite courses. In addition to meeting the university requirements
for admission, it is recommended that students complete one year each of high school chemistry and biology. Pre-major nursing
students are required to seek academic advising each semester through the College of Nursing & Healthcare Innovation Student
Services Office. This advising includes course planning and information about application materials and deadlines.
Transfer Credits
While ASU accepts transfer credit from other accredited institutions, all transfer credit may not apply toward a Bachelor of
Science in Nursing (BSN) degree. Students completing course work at a community college or university other than ASU should
consult a College of Nursing & Healthcare Innovation academic advisor to plan an appropriate sequence of prerequisite courses
and to apply to the professional program. The college has a transfer partnership agreement with the Maricopa Community
College District. See a College of Nursing & Healthcare Innovation academic advisor for details. The college may not accept
transfer credit (especially science) completed more than seven years before the date of application to the professional program.
Professional Program Admission
Individuals interested in applying to the professional program must receive advising from a College of Nursing & Healthcare
Innovation academic advisor and are required to attend an application workshop. Contact the Student Services Office in the
College of Nursing & Healthcare Innovation at 602/496-0888 for details.
Students are eligible for consideration for admission to the professional program if they meet the following criteria: 1. regular
admission to the College of Nursing & Healthcare Innovation at the Downtown campus as a premajor Nursing student; 2.
academic good standing at ASU and in the College of Nursing & Healthcare Innovation; 3. minimum prerequisite GPA of 2.75;
4. completion of designated prerequisite courses with an earned grade of “C” (2.00) or higher in each course; 5. completion of all
application materials; 6. submission of all required health and immunization requirements; 7. a Test of English as a Foreign
Language (TOEFL) score of 550 or higher for international students (see TOEFL); 8. receipt of entrance examination scores; and
9. submission of other required materials. Admission is selective and based on available resources. Meeting the minimum
prerequisite GPA does not ensure admission. All qualified applicants may not be admitted. Students admitted to the professional
program are required to meet the following additional criteria: 1. proof of CPR certification (Level C American Heart
Association Health Care Provider); 2. proof of negative drug screen; 3. completion of all required health and immunization
information; 4. eligible for fingerprint clearance card; and 5. other required materials. Professional program courses are offered at
the Community Services Building in Tempe, the Downtown Phoenix campus, the Mayo Clinic Hospital campus, the Polytechnic
campus, and the West campus. Students are asked to specify location preference as part of the application process. Students are
expected to complete the professional program on the campus assigned upon admission. The four semester (64 semester hour)
professional program is available in two options: (1) a 24-month option with classes scheduled during the fall and spring
semesters at the Downtown campus, and (2) a 16-month year round option with classes scheduled during fall, spring, and
summer sessions with minimal breaks between semesters available at various sites. For more information, visit the Web site at

recommendation. Any student enrolled in good standing at any accredited/approved baccalaureate school of nursing within the
past two years may apply for admission into the professional program. To be considered for admission to the professional
program, transfer students must first be admitted to ASU as pre-major nursing students (see Undergraduate Admission) and must
also meet all professional program admission requirements. To be considered for advanced standing in the professional program
courses, petitions for each course must be completed by the student accompanied by course descriptions and syllabus materials
and be approved by the College Standards Committee.
Admission of Registered Nurses (RNs)

2008-09 Academic Catalog 115

All RN students are admitted into the College of Nursing & Healthcare Innovation as pre-major nursing students. Each RN must
show evidence of a current unencumbered Arizona RN license or one from a compact state recognized by the Arizona State
Board of Nursing. RN students are responsible for adhering to Arizona State Board of Nursing Rules and Regulations.
Alternatives are available to RNs to facilitate their progress in the program, including credit by examination, substitution of
previously completed nursing courses for specified ASU nursing courses, and transfer of general education course work
completed at other accredited colleges and universities. All RN students must consult with an academic advisor in planning their
program of study. See Professional Program Admission, for admission criteria into the BSN professional program. Registered
nurses are admitted into the RN-BSN only program track twice a year, in January and in August.
Readmission to the Professional Program

must provide the following documents: 1. proof of current enrollment or readmission to ASU and the College of Nursing &
Healthcare Innovation in good standing; 2. transcripts from all colleges or universities attended; and 3. all other admission
requirements as outlined under Admission.

Arizona State Board of Nursing Requirement
To be eligible to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN), a student must have a
high school diploma or GED certificate as well as proof of graduation from an approved nursing program. Arizona State law
prohibits an individual convicted of a felony from applying for nursing licensure or certification until five years after the date of
absolute discharge of the sentence. Application for, and passage of, the NCLEX-RN is the sole responsibility of the student.
College Health Requirements
Students admitted/enrolled in the professional program are responsible for fulfilling the requirements of the health policies of the
College of Nursing & Healthcare Innovation. The student is responsible for providing proof to the College of Nursing &
Healthcare Innovation Student Services Office of having met these requirements before enrollment in the professional program
courses.
These health policies include the following requirements: 1. proof of measles (rubeola), mumps, and rubella immunization (two
MMRs or appropriate titers); 2. proof of annual tuberculosis screening; 3. completed series of hepatitis B vaccine or proof of
hepatitis B titer; 4. current American Heart Association Level C CPR Certification; 5. proof of tetanus, diphtheria immunization

Nursing Student. Essential functions for this program include gathering data through the senses (hearing, seeing, etc.),
synthesizing information from a variety of sources, making decisions regarding patient care, and performing necessary physical

2008-09 Academic Catalog 116

and mental activities to ensure safe care. Some clinical experiences may require students to purchase their own protective
devices. For complete details, call an advisor in the Student Services Office at 602/496-0888.
ASU Health Requirements
See Undergraduate Admission, and Immunization Requirements.
Professional Liability Insurance
It is highly recommended that students carry their own professional liability insurance when enrolled in clinical nursing courses.
Health and Accident Insurance
It is strongly recommended that all students carry their own health and accident insurance. Some clinical agencies require
students to have current health insurance. See the Baccalaureate Programs Student Handbook. Each student is personally
responsible for costs related to any accident or illness during or outside of school activities.
Automobile Insurance
Students are required by state law to carry automobile insurance. Students are responsible for transportation to and from clinical
sites. Extensive travel may be required for selected clinical experiences.

Academic Advising
Academic advising, provided by the College of Nursing & Healthcare Innovation through the Student Services Office, is an
essential aspect of the education experience; see Academic Advising. While the College of Nursing & Healthcare Innovation
provides academic advising, it is ultimately the responsibility of each student to fulfill academic and program requirements.
Advisors are available by appointment in the College of Nursing & Healthcare Innovation Student Services Office. Call 602/496­
0888 (see Student Services). Advisor appointments are also available at West campus, the Polytechnic campus, and at several
community colleges in the area. Advisors assist students with program planning, registration, preparation of needed petitions,
verification of graduation requirements, referrals to university and community resources, and career planning. Student
responsibilities include following university guidelines regarding submission of transcripts from all colleges other than ASU,
obtaining the necessary signatures or computer verifications required by the university, and following university procedures for
matriculation.
Mandatory Advising
All pre-major nursing students are required to meet with an academic advisor before registering for each semester of classes. All
students on probation are required to meet with an advisor to plan strategies for improving their academic standing.
Declaration of Graduation
Students following the curriculum requirements of the 1996–1998 or later catalog editions must file a Declaration of Graduation
form using the Degree Audit Reporting System during enrollment in the first semester of the professional program.
Student Employment
Each of the four semesters in the prelicensured professional program is composed of 16 semester hours. Seven to eight of these
semester hours reflect three days in clinical laboratory practicum experience. The remaining eight to nine semester hours reflect
classroom hours with preparation and study requiring additional time and effort. It is suggested that any other extracurricular
activities or employment be kept at a minimum.

Academic Standards

2008-09 Academic Catalog 117

Students are admitted into the College of Nursing & Healthcare Innovation as pre-major nursing students and are subject to the
general standards of academic good standing at the university (see Retention and Academic Standards). However, students who
maintain standards of academic good standing do not necessarily qualify for admission into the professional program.
Consideration for admission into the professional program is contingent on achieving at least a “C” (2.00) in all prerequisite
courses and earning a minimum GPA of 2.75 in prerequisite courses. In addition, a grade of “C” (2.00) or higher is required in all
course work for the degree except in nursing practice courses where a designation of a “Y” (satisfactory) grade is required. Once
admitted into the professional program, students are allowed only one nursing course failure within the program. The second
failure in a nursing course leads to an automatic disqualification from the College of Nursing & Healthcare Innovation. Probation
and/or disqualification is in accordance with university policies. Academic dishonesty is not tolerated in any course and is subject
to specific College of Nursing & Healthcare Innovation policies and procedures.

Graduate Policies
Academic Advising
Students are advised by the Student Services Office before admission to the Master of Science program. Upon admission, each
student is assigned a faculty advisor within the area of concentration.

COLLEGE OF PUBLIC PROGRAMS POLICIES
Undergraduate Policies
Advising
The mission of the College of Public Programs professional academic advising staff is to assist students in developing
meaningful educational plans to meet their academic, career, and personal goals in an ongoing process of evaluation and
clarification. The advisors strive to perform their duties in a professional, ethical, confidential, accurate, and supportive manner,
respecting student diversity and needs, and always holding the individual in highest regard. The student and advisor should
accomplish this process in a spirit of shared responsibility to develop academic excellence, strong decision-making skills, and
self-reliance. A student who has been admitted to the College of Public Programs is assigned an academic advisor from the
academic unit of the student’s major area of study. Questions about advising should be directed to the student’s academic advisor
or to the College of Public Programs Student Services Office, UCENT 600.
Mandatory Advising
The following categories of students are required to receive advising and to be cleared by a program advisor before they may
register for classes: 1. students with admissions competency deficiencies, 2. all freshmen, 3. transfer students in their first
semester at ASU, 4. readmitted students, 5. students on probation, 6. students who have been disqualified, 7. students with special
admissions status, and 8. all undergraduate students majoring in Social Work.
Course Load
A normal course load per semester is 15 to 16 semester hours. The maximum number of hours for which a student can register is
18 semester hours unless an overload petition has been filed and approved by the Department/School Standards Committee and

2008-09 Academic Catalog 118

the Academic and Student Affairs Committee of the college. Semester course loads may be further limited for students in
mandatory advising. Petitions for overload are not ordinarily approved for students who have a cumulative GPA less than 3.00
and who do not state valid reasons for the need to register for the credits. Students who register for semester hours in excess of 18
and do not have an approved overload petition on file may have courses randomly removed through an “administrative drop”
action. Specific degree requirements are explained in detail under the respective college, school, and department sections.

Academic Standards And Retention
Good Standing
Students in the College of Public Programs are considered to be in good standing for the purpose of retention if they maintain a
cumulative GPA of 2.00 or higher in all courses taken at ASU. However, to achieve professional status in the undergraduate
degree programs in the college, students must have a cumulative GPA of 2.50 or higher at ASU.
Probation
Any student who does not maintain good standing is placed on academic probation. A student on academic probation is required
to observe any limitations or rules the college may impose as a condition for retention.
Disqualification
A student who is on probation becomes disqualified if (1) the student has not returned to good standing, or (2) the student has not
met the required semester GPA. Disqualification is exercised at the discretion of the college and becomes effective on the first
day of the fall or spring semester following college action. A disqualified student is notified by the Office of the Registrar and/or
the dean of the college and is not allowed to register for a fall or spring semester at the university until reinstated. A student who
is disqualified may not attend as a nondegree student.
Reinstatement
Students seeking reinstatement after disqualification should contact the College of Public Programs Student Services Office
regarding procedures and guidance for returning to good standing. When reinstatement includes readmission, application must be
made to the Readmissions Section of the University Registrar. All academic disciplinary action is the function of the College of
Public Programs Student Services Office, UCENT 600, under the direction of the dean of the college. Students having academic
problems should call this office for advising at 602/496-0600.

Graduate Policies
Advising
Advising is usually handled by graduate faculty or a committee. Once admitted, students are typically assigned a temporary
faculty advisor in the potential areas of specialization who assists in planning a course of study. For those degree programs
requiring the completion of a thesis, a chair and thesis supervisory committee are selected by the director of graduate studies, in
consultation with the student, and appointed by the dean of the Graduate College.

SCHOOL OF SUSTAINABILITY POLICIES
Advising

2008-09 Academic Catalog 119

The School of Sustainability’s Academic Advising Center assists undergraduate and graduate students in achieving their
personal, educational, cultural, and career goals while becoming self directed, life-long learners. We encourage continuing
students to meet with an advisor at least once each semester. New students will be required to meet with an advisor before being
cleared to register for classes. Office hours are Monday – Friday (excluding university holidays) 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. It is highly
encourage that students call ahead (480-727-6963) to make an appointment so advisors can set aside the appropriate time to
answer all their questions.

Undergraduate Academic Standards
Student Responsibilities
Students need to make many decisions as they complete their degrees. While the School and the University have a number of
resources available (e.g., faculty, courses, advisors, and tutors) to help in making the decisions, students are expected to take
responsibility for their decisions.
Good Standing
Students in the School of Sustainability are considered in good standing for the purpose of retention if (1) they maintain a
cumulative GPA of 2.00 or higher in all courses taken at ASU and (2) maintain critical requirements within their major.
Critical Requirements
All sustainability students must meet the critical requirements for their intended majors. Students who do not comply with the
critical requirements are off track and have holds placed on their records. These students have to meet with an advisor to have
this hold removed. If the student still has not met all critical requirements in the following semester, then further registration in
the intended major may not be permitted.
Probation
Any student who does not maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or higher in all courses taken at ASU is placed on academic
probation. Probation status for academic reasons begins on the first day of classes of the semester after the semester in which a
student has been determined to be on probation. A student on academic probation is required to observe any limitations or rules
the School may impose as a condition for retention. Before students on probation can register for classes in the next semester,
they must receive advising in their department.
Disqualification
Students who do not meet probation requirements are subject to disqualification. A disqualified student will not be able to
register for classes in the fall or spring semester at the University. If the student has already registered for a future fall or spring
semester, the registration is cancelled. A student who has been disqualified may apply for reinstatement through the School.
Reinstatement and Readmission
Students seeking reinstatement (after disqualification) or readmission (after absence from the university) should contact the
School of Sustainability Office regarding procedures and guidance for returning to good standing. When reinstatement includes
readmission, application must be made to the Readmission Section of the Office of the Registrar.

School Undergraduate Graduation Requirements
All students in the School of Sustainability must complete the university General Studies requirement as well as all requirements
in the major. In addition, the school has established requirements that are specific to the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of
Science degrees.

Undergraduate Policies
Academic Policies
Students enrolled in undergraduate education programs are expected to maintain academic standards and demonstrate
qualifications for the teaching profession, including mental health, interpersonal skills, basic communication skills, a positive
attitude, appropriate professional conduct and satisfactory performance in field experiences. To be in good standing, students
must maintain an overall cumulative GPA of 2.50 or higher with at least a grade of “C” (2.00) in each undergraduate education
course.
Any undergraduate education student whose cumulative GPA falls below 2.50 may be placed on academic probation or
suspended from enrollment in professional courses for the next semester. Students on academic probation or suspension from the
university and/or the College of Teacher Education and Leadership must seek advising from a college academic advisor before
registering for additional course work. Probation and/or suspension status for academic reasons begins on the first day of classes
of the semester after the probation or suspension action. Students placed on probation or suspension for any reason are subject to
disqualification by the College of Teacher Education and Leadership at the end of the following semester if the conditions
imposed for reinstatement are not met. Students placed on probation or suspension for any reason are reviewed at the end of the
following semester. Students demonstrating behaviors or characteristics that make it questionable whether they can succeed in
the teaching profession may be disqualified or prescribed specific conditions under which continued participation is permitted,
that is, probation or suspension. Students who wish to appeal decisions of the College of Teacher Education and Leadership’s
Student Issues Committee may do so in writing to the dean of the college. Any exceptions to the above retention and
disqualification policies and procedures must be approved by the College of Teacher Education and Leadership’s Student Issues
Committee and the dean of the college.

2008-09 Academic Catalog 122

should be made aware of any employment obligations or special circumstances that may affect a student’s ability to successfully
handle a full course load. Students may register for a maximum of 19 semester hours per semester. Any student wishing to take
more than the maximum must petition the college’s standards committee and have an approval on file before registering for a
course overload.

Academic Standards
Retention
A student is expected to make satisfactory progress toward completion of degree requirements to continue enrollment in the
College of Technology and Innovation. Any one of the following conditions is considered unsatisfactory progress and results in
the student’s being placed on probationary status:
1.
2.
3.

a semester with a GPA less than or equal to 1.50,
two successive semesters with GPAs less than 2.00, or
an ASU cumulative GPA less than 2.00.

A student on probation is subject to disqualification if:
1.
2.

a semester GPA of 2.25 is not attained and the cumulative GPA is below 2.00 at the end of the probationary semester,
or
the student is placed on probation for two consecutive semesters and is unable to achieve the standard GPA stated in
number one.

Students on academic probation are not allowed to register for more than 13 semester hours. Probationary students may not
register for the semester following the semester in which they were declared probationary without a special permit from an
advisor in the dean’s office. Special permits are given only after the registrar records grades for the current semester.
Disqualification
During a semester on academic probation, a student who fails to meet the retention standards is disqualified. Students may
request a review of their disqualification status by contacting the associate dean in the College of Technology and Innovation.
Any disqualified student who is accepted by another college at ASU may not register for courses in the College of Technology
and Innovation unless the courses are required in the new major. Disqualified students who register for courses in the college
may be withdrawn from these courses any time during the semester.
Reinstatement
The college does not accept an application for reinstatement until the disqualified student has remained out of the college for at
least a 12-month period. Merely having remained in disqualified status for this period of time does not, in itself, constitute a basis
for reinstatement. Proof of ability to do satisfactory college work in the chosen discipline is required; for example, completing
pertinent courses in the discipline at a community college with higher-than-average grades.

Graduate Policies
Advising And Program Of Study
The program of study is planned in consultation with an appointed supervisory committee. It is designed for flexibility,
permitting the student to select a combination of courses in a technological area and a supporting area to meet individual career
goals. A minimum of 33 semester hours is required for the degree program. Of these, a minimum of 15 semester hours must be
500-level courses and part of the approved program. A maximum of 12 hours of course work may be taken from offerings
outside the College of Technology and Innovation with approval of the appropriate academic program or department. Programs
of study for the MSTech, with an interdisciplinary area of concentration, may have up to but not more than 15 hours of course

2008-09 Academic Catalog 123

work drawn from areas outside the College of Technology and Innovation at the discretion of the program or department in
which the concentration is administered. A maximum of nine semester hours of appropriate course work completed before
admission may be included in the program of study.

UNIVERSITY COLLEGE POLICIES
Undergraduate Policies
Exploratory Major Students Critical Requirements
All incoming ASU freshmen participate in the critical requirements program. Critical requirements are designed to help students
graduate in four years by clearly outlining course requirements and course progression and by placing critical courses in the early
semesters to help students determine degree fit and suitability.
To that end, University College (UC) has developed major maps that support students exploring potential majors during their first
few semesters at the university. Upon admission to University College, all first-year exploratory majors are required to declare an
exploratory major track in one of four areas: exploratory social and behavioral sciences track, exploratory health and life sciences
track, exploratory humanities and fine arts track, and exploratory math, physical science, and engineering track.
Each of these major tracks is designed to provide students with introductory courses in a field of choice (e.g., Introduction to
Psychology, Introduction to Environmental Design), general studies education, and elective courses that reinforce current
interests. By strategically selecting courses, students can make progress toward choosing a major with the appropriate fit. Each
exploratory track is composed of a three-semester major map, with the end goal of having students declare their major by no later
than completion of 45 semester hours. Students are required to maintain a GPA that keeps them in good academic standing with
the university and allows them to declare the major of their choosing.
Major maps for each of these exploratory tracks are available at https://webapp.asu.edu/eadvisor/MajorMaps.html [1] [2].

School of Letters and Sciences
The School of Letters and Sciences offers a liberal arts core curriculum on the Downtown Phoenix campus and a university-wide
bachelor’s degree in interdisciplinary studies. We provide foundational instruction in humanities, social sciences and natural
sciences for all students on the Downtown Phoenix campus, and we are invested in the development of learning-centered
coursework for students in the College of Nursing and Healthcare Innovation, College of Public Programs and Walter Cronkite
School of Journalism and Mass Communication.
The School of Letters and Sciences is designed to respond to the needs of ASU students, faculties of the downtown schools and
colleges, the challenges of higher education and our constituent communities. Guiding principles of the school are embedded
student success programs, strategic partnerships both inside the university and in the community, and interdisciplinary inquiry.

Academic Good Standing
For purposes of retention, academic good standing for all students in University College is defined in the Academic Good
Standing table below.

2008-09 Academic Catalog 124

Academic Good Standing
Total Hours Earned Minimum Cumulative GPA
24 or fewer

1.60

25–55

1.75

56 or more

2.00

A student who does not maintain the minimum GPA standard after each fall or spring semester is placed on academic probation.
A student placed on academic probation or continuing probation must meet with an academic advisor before registration for the
subsequent semester. A student placed on academic probation has one semester to raise his or her cumulative or semester GPA to
meet the academic good standing criteria; otherwise, the student may be disqualified. A student who has been disqualified is not
permitted to enroll for the fall or spring semester.
Students may remain designated as exploratory major status until they complete 45 semester hours. Students who have not
declared a major by the time they have completed 45 semester hours are placed on hold, which prevents registration for future
ASU semesters, until the student has declared a major.

Contact: http://www.poly.asu.edu/saas/wellness/degree/doctorate/ | julie.rice@asu.edu | EAW 109 | 480/727-1945 | 0180
Official Degree Awarded: Physical Activity, Nutrition and Wellness (PhD)
Program Description: The Executive Committee of the Physical Activity, Nutrition and Wellness program offers an
interdisciplinary graduate program leading to the PhD degree in Physical Activity, Nutrition and Wellness (PANW). The PhD
degree in PANW is an individualized interdisciplinary program that integrates graduate courses from several academic units to
provide a sound foundation for research leading to a dissertation. One of the unique features of this interdisciplinary program is
that a student may tailor a course of study to fit individual needs and goals within two main focus areas: physical activity and
nutrition. The program focuses on issues that contribute to health through the reduction of disease risk, quality of life promotion,
and enhancement of well-being. While many healthy lifestyles are studied, the emphasis is on physically active living and sound
nutrition. The PANW doctoral program prepares research scholars, teachers, and professionals who study physical activity,
nutrition, healthy lifestyles, and health promotion. The program will prepare graduates for careers in higher education,
governmental agencies, and health-related positions in private industry. The Interdisciplinary PhD program requires residency
and three years of full-time study after the master’s degree. Students will be actively involved in research at all stages of their
doctoral study through their participation in research internships, independent research experiences, seminars and colloquia, and
dissertation research.
Program Requirements: This program requires a total of 97 semester hours of course work, a dissertation, and written and oral
comprehensive examinations. The program of study (POS) in the PANW program consists of a minimum of 68 semester hours
over the MS degree distributed across five areas of study: Professional development (five hours), research core (26 hours),
cognate (12 hours), concentration (12 hours) and dissertation (12 hours). It is expected that nine of the 12 semester hours in the
concentration will be in a focused content area within the concentration. No more than six semester hours in the concentration
can be taken from outside the PANW program without approval of the PANW executive committee. An individual POS is
selected in consultation with the student’s supervisory committee. It is expected that students admitted to the PhD program will
have a strong foundation in either physical activity or nutrition. Individuals lacking background in these areas will be required to
make up deficiencies before admission. It is also expected that all students will enter the program with at least one graduate-level
statistics course and a basic research methods course. Other requirements may be necessary depending on the area of study and
will be determined by the mentor and executive committee.

2008-09 Academic Catalog 131

It is expected that students will spend three years in full-time residence. The intent is to involve and embed the student in ongoing
research as well as class study. Thus, all PhD students are to be full-time students and hold part-time appointments (50 percent
time - 20 hours per week) -- as a teaching assistant (TA) or research assistant (RA). As such, to be accepted into the program,
funding must be available and you must have the expertise, experience and willingness to teach courses in the EXW or Nutrition
undergraduate curriculum, or be a research assistant and conduct research with your mentor as funding allows.
Admission Requirements: Applicants must submit the Graduate College online application. In addition to meeting Graduate
College requirements, students must submit a letter of intent designating the name of a potential mentor (from a list of approved
faculty mentors) and a statement of career goals to the chair of the PANW executive committee. Graduate Record Examination
(GRE) scores (verbal, quantitative and writing), a six to ten page writing sample, a professional résumé, and three letters of
recommendation must also be submitted. Additionally, all students must submit an application for a teaching/research
assistantship. Applicants whose native language is not English must submit a Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL)
score. Applicants must have successfully received a master’s degree prior to admission to the PhD program and it is preferable
that they have completed a data-based research thesis. Admission decisions are based on the compatibility of the applicant’s
research interests and career goals with the purpose of the degree program, previous academic training and GPA, GRE scores,
recommendations, and match of research interests with those of available mentors. First priority will be given to completed
applications received by January 15.

theoretical course work. The department actively welcomes a diversity of applicants, including returning professionals, with
experience and/or interest in choreography, dance science and somatics, dance and technology, community-based practice,
educational and professional partnerships, and dance history, philosophy and criticism, and those whose approaches are
interdisciplinary and/or cross-cultural in nature. The ASU Department of Dance seeks individuals who are self-motivated, have
clear and demonstrated objectives, and are willing to explore new possibilities in the field of dance and beyond.
Program Requirements: The MFA program in Dance requires 60 credit hours. Incoming students are encouraged to take
foundational course work, which has been designed to be a broad and fundamental preparation for future careers in independent
artistic practice, professional dance companies, higher education, community colleges, high schools, private studios, the wellness
industry, technology and community partnerships (among others). In addition to the foundational course work, approximately 18
credit hours are available to pursue a specialization of interest.The MFA project in dance, worth eight credits, serves as the
capstone experience in the graduate dance curriculum. Students have the opportunity to select the format and structure of their
project in conjunction with their MFA committee. Conceived as a bridge to career, the project should take into consideration the
future goals of the student.Flexibility in program design is strongly encouraged. The department recognizes and encourages
individual strengths and professional experience that may strongly affect the student’s choice of course work. Petitioning out of
specific classes in which the MFA candidate has expertise is acceptable upon review by the department chair. The committee will
also consider a completely unique program of study.The MFA project, which may involve producing original choreography,
presenting a lecture demonstration on a body of research, or presenting another form of original work, acts as the culminating
experience of the program. A final written thesis, reflective in nature, as well as an oral defense complete the process. The
Graduate College has approved a maximum time limit of seven years to completre the MFA in Dance.
Admission Requirements: To apply for admission to the MFA degree program in Dance, a student must complete an application
form and supply official copies of all transcripts from previous institutions to the Graduate College. The Department of Dance

program of study (300-600 words) and its relationship to the core values of the department. MFA interviews are required and are
generally held in January. At the department interview, the applicant participates in an unfamiliar technique class, presents a solo
work of up to five minutes (this work must have been choreographed by the student), shows an improvisation based on a given
task, and has a 20-minute dialogue with a member of the department. A petition may be submitted to the department chair for
exception to the above process.
In the case of interview by DVD the above requirements remain as indicated. The interview will be conducted by phone with the
department chair and members of the faculty. It is highly recommended that anyone considering enrolling at ASU come to the
campus during the regularly scheduled interview time. Because the number of graduate openings is limited, it is important that
the particular strengths of the department and the specific needs and wants of the student be matched accordingly.

Official Degree Awarded: Theatre (Theatre/Performance Americas) (PhD)
Program Description: The PhD in Theatre, with a concentration in theatre and performance of the Americas, trains scholars to
examine the histories, theories, and practices associated with cultural performance, from a hemispheric point of view. Through
course work, seminars, and research and study opportunities, doctoral students work from diverse critical perspectives that
mobilize thought across geographical and disciplinary borders. They thereby develop skills to re-examine and interrogate the
canon of theatre as text and as performance, expanding the traditional boundaries of theatre studies in two ways: via a perspective
that considers the shared histories and practices of theatre and performance in the Americas as central to an intervention in
traditionally narrated histories and theories of theatre; and via the methodologies of cultural and performance studies that
accommodate other forms of embodied expression related to but distinct from formal theatrical expression.The course of study is
designed to provide substantive historical and theoretical grounding in the field, while allowing flexibility in the choice of
specialized seminar and practical experiences. The first year of study immerses students in the theoretical and practical
groundwork of performance research in general, and modalities of performance in the Americas in particular. In the second year,
students build on research interests identified in the first year through specialized coursework and practical experience.
Program Requirements: A total of 90 semester hours are required; 30 of the 90 hours may be satisfied through a completed
master's degree.
The concentration in Theatre and Performance of the Americas consists of a core of 24 hours. Additionally, 12 hours of electives,
two of which must come from outside the school (as approved by the supervisory committee); and 24 hours of research and
dissertation preparation.
In meeting these requirements, you, with the advice of the supervisory committee, may select theatre courses in areas such as
theatre education, directing, acting, design, playwriting, theatre history and theatre theory/criticism, in addition to tutorial
courses. You may also take courses outside the School of Theatre and Film in areas such as critical and cultural studies, area
studies, languages and literatures, and aesthetic theory. You are encouraged to be involved in on- and off-campus productions,
teaching and research. All activities are selected to help you meet the goals of the program and develop the capability of
becoming a leader in the field.
Preliminary Reviews
Reviews of your performance in courses and development of research skills, artistic skills and teaching competencies are
conducted by the supervisory committee at the end of each semester.
Comprehensive Examinations
These examinations are composed of written and oral components centering on theatre history, literature and criticism, theatre
and performance of the Americas, and the research area.

applications in multimedia, and the development of artistic entrepreneurship and integrity.
Performance Design students work in multiple venues, including the 481-seat Galvin Playhouse, 164-seat Lyceum Theatre, two
studios and one experimental space. In addition, students work in the shops, a design studio, and a computer-imaging lab.

ensemble, as well as honing the skills needed to visually communicate ideas to a director and audience.
The second year concentrates on new work development that will culminate in a tour. This year also concentrates on
strengthening design abilities.
The third year serves as a bridge between the educational and professional theatre and the communities they serve. Students
conclude with an applied ensemble design project suited to their needs and interests.
A professional internship is required and can be fulfilled anytime after the first year of study. Academic and artistic progress is
evaluated at the end of each semester by a faculty committee. Program continuation is contingent upon a successful review.
Admission Requirements: Students are admitted to this program every three years, forming a cohort with their colleagues in the

Program Requirements: The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Chemical Engineering requires completion of 84 semester hours, a
dissertation, and written and oral comprehensive examinations. These semester hours include core/elective coursework,
research/dissertation and seminar credits. Below are the specific requirements:
1.

Chemical Engineering Core: The PhD program requires 15 semester hours of graduate-level Chemical Engineering
courses. The following five courses (comprising these 15 hours) are required for all students:
CHE 527 (3): Advanced Applied Mathematical Analysis in Chemical Engineering
CHE 533 (3): Transport Processes I
CHE 543 (3): Thermodynamics of Chemical Systems
CHE 544 (3): Chemical Reactor Methods
CHE 598 (3): Research Methods

2008-09 Academic Catalog 263

2.

4.
5.

Technical Electives: In addition to the 15 hours of core above, the PhD program requires 12 semester hours of technical
electives from within or outside the Department of Chemical Engineering. CHE courses meeting this requirement must
be at the 520 level or higher; 400-level and 590 courses (from CHE or outside departments) may not be used to fulfill
this requirement (although they may be used to satisfy no. 5 below). Students should consult with their supervisory
committees in selecting appropriate technical elective courses.
Research/Dissertation: Students are required to take 12 hours of research (CHE 792) and 12 hours of dissertation (CHE
799), for a combined total of 24 hours. Note that 12 hours (and only 12) of dissertation credit (CHE 799) are required
on the program of study. Moreover, students can only take CHE 799 once they have passed the comprehensive exam
and been admitted to candidacy.
Seminar: Students must register for the one-credit-hour seminar (CHE 591) during every semester in residence.
However, only a maximum of five credit hours may apply to the program of study.
Additional Research/Elective hours: The additional 28 hours necessary to meet the 84-hour minimum may be fulfilled
with any combination of additional research hours (CHE 792) and technical electives from the Department of Chemical
Engineering or other departments. CHE 590 (Reading and Conference) hours may also be used to fulfill this area. Note
that 400-level courses in departments outside Chemical Engineering may be used to fulfill this area unless the course
content significantly matches that of 300-level or lower courses in engineering. For example, STP 420 does not qualify
as a valid elective because it is similar to ECE 383. Elective courses used to meet this requirement must be approved as
part of the student’s program of study.

Total: 84 credit hours (including 15 hours core, 12 hours technical electives, 24 hours research/dissertation, 5 hours seminar, and
28 hours additional research/electives)
If a student has earned a master’s degree in Chemical Engineering or in a similarly named program with equivalent course
requirements (either from ASU or elsewhere), he/she may transfer up to 30 semester hours toward the PhD degree with the
approval of his/her supervisory committee (students without master’s degrees can also transfer earned graduate-level hours).
However, the specific requirements of the 84 credit hours of coursework described above must still be met. Hence, if a student
transfers in 30 semester hours, but none of these credits fulfill the Chemical Engineering core requirements, that student will still
need to take the appropriate coursework to fulfill these requirements. Students who transfer in 30 hours are required to complete
a minimum of 54 hours after being admitted to the PhD program at ASU. In some cases students transferring in 30 hours may
need to take more than the minimum 54 to meet all of the requirements of the program.

Official Degree Awarded: Human and Social Dimensions of Science and Technology (PhD)
Program Description: Under the auspices of the Graduate College, a steering committee administers the PhD program in Human
and Social Dimensions of Science and Technology (HSD). This program prepares students to teach and conduct research on the

2008-09 Academic Catalog 291

conceptual, historical, social, and policy foundations of science and technology, and their interactions with society, using
humanistic and social scientific methods.
The HSD program responds to the growing demand for interdisciplinary research in the humanities and social sciences that can
provide insights into the dynamic relationship between science, technology, and society. Solutions to the problems of applying
science and technology to human well-being can only be found by fully integrating research from across many social science and
humanities disciplines. The PhD program in HSD is flexible, combining a strong, integrated, first-year experience, with
substantial freedom for students, in conjunction with their advisors, to design carefully crafted programs of study relevant to their
own areas of specialization and expertise. Unique among programs of this kind nationally, students will also learn to
communicate and work with scientists, engineers, policy, business, and community officials, and/or the public in conducting and
applying research.
Program Requirements: The PhD in HSD is a research degree, culminating in a dissertation, which must draw on multiple
disciplinary perspectives.
The degree requires completion of 84 semester hours of which 12 hours (and only 12) are for dissertation. Students may apply up
to 30 hours from a prior master’s degree toward the total hour requirement upon approval of the steering committee. Each
student, with his or her supervisory committee, develops a unique program of study, which the student's supervisory committee
approves.
Each student completes a year-long core seminar, a second-year research project, two major fields, one minor field, methods
training, electives, and research. Students also regularly attend the program colloquia. There are no foreign language or statistics
requirements, except as needed for certain dissertation projects.
Fields
In consultation with the student’s supervisory committee, each student develops three distinct fields to provide the in-depth
training necessary to formulate and carry out his or her dissertation research. Each student must complete two major and one
minor field. Major fields consist of the equivalent of three courses of specialized work (either in existing elective courses or
through independent reading or research projects) designed to achieve mastery of a particular intellectual subject. The minor field
consists of the equivalent of two courses of specialized work. For each field, the supervisory committee and student will select a
field director, who is a member of the student’s supervisory committee and who will be responsible for working with the student
to determine field content as well as the format for demonstrating mastery of the field, such as a field exam, field paper, or
exemplary course paper.
After the completion of course work or other assigned activities for each field, a student will demonstrate mastery of the field.
The student’s supervisory committee will assess mastery, in a format proposed by the committee and the student and approved to
by the steering committee. Common formats for demonstrating mastery of a field include a field exam, a field paper, or an
exemplary course paper. The timing of demonstration of mastery of each of the three fields is determined by the student and his
or her supervisory committee; the demonstrations need not occur at the same time.
Supervisory Committee
Each student appoints his or her supervisory committee no later than the end of the second semester of program enrollment. A
supervisory committee includes a chair, who is a tenured or tenure-track faculty member of the HSD faculty, and two to four
additional members. Fifty percent or more of the supervisory committee members must be HSD faculty. The student’s field
directors are members of his or her supervisory committee. A student may change the members of his or her supervisory
committee with approval of the program steering committee chair.
Study Plan and Study Plan Review
During the second semester, each student develops, in collaboration with the student's supervisory committee, a study plan. The
study plan specifies the second-year research project topic, fields, and electives the student will pursue.

2008-09 Academic Catalog 292

The study plan review is a formal meeting of each student's supervisory committee at which the student presents the study plan
for supervisory committee approval. This meeting is typically held during the second semester of enrollment or at the beginning
of the third semester. Students may not begin a fourth semester of study without an approved study plan.
Comprehensive Examination
Each student develops a written dissertation prospectus, including a bibliography, discussion of relevant research skills, and a
brief (less than one page) description of each field completed and how mastery was demonstrated. The dissertation prospectus

GRADUATE COLLEGE, TEMPE
Contact: statistics@asu.edu | GWC 551 | 480/965-2671 | 5906
Official Degree Awarded: Statistics (certificate) (CERT)
Program Description: The Committee on Statistics offers a program leading to the Certificate in Statistics. The program is
interdisciplinary in that it draws upon faculty research and teaching interests from various academic units so that programs of
study can be tailored to reflect individual needs and goals. The committee, which sets program requirements and supervises
programs of study, is composed of faculty from departments in the Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering, the College of Liberal
Arts and Sciences, the W. P. Carey School of Business, and the New College of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences.
The certificate seeks to provide statistical training for graduate students at ASU and professionals in the metro-Phoenix area. The
certificate requires 15 semester hours of course work selected from approved courses presently offered in graduate programs at
ASU. It is administered by the Committee on Statistics, which also administers the Master of Science in Statistics degree through
the Graduate College.
Program Requirements: The certificate program requires a minimum of 15 semester hours of course work. To qualify for the
certificate, a student must complete courses in applied regression analysis (IEE 578, QBA 525, or STP 530) and analysis of
variance/experimental design (IEE 572, QBA 530, or STP 531). The remaining nine credits are taken from the set of courses
approved by the Committee on Statistics. The certificate program requires no applied project. A maximum of nine hours from the
approved list of certificate courses can be transferred to the MS in Statistics degree. Students must have a GPA of at least 3.00 in
the courses which apply to the certificate.

Official Degree Awarded: Statistics (MS)
Program Description: The Committee on Statistics offers a program leading to the degree Master of Science in Statistics. The
program is interdisciplinary in that it draws upon faculty research and teaching interests from various academic units so that
programs of study can be tailored to reflect individual needs and goals. The committee, which sets program requirements and
supervises programs of study, is composed of faculty from departments in the Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering, the College of
Liberal Arts and Sciences, the W. P. Carey School of Business, and the New College of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences.
The program for the MS degree in Statistics provides preparation for either a research-oriented or a practice-oriented career.
Requirements specific to this program ensure balanced attention to the theoretical and applied aspects of the discipline of
statistics. The program prepares students for careers in business, education, industry, and government. Graduates understand the
theory that is fundamental to proper use of statistics, are knowledgeable about the tools of applied statistics, and are familiar with
computer software packages available for doing statistical computations. In addition, students interested in research in statistics
can obtain the background needed to begin a doctoral program. Flexibility in the program reflects the fact that statistical analysis
is one of the most widely used tools of modern scientific reasoning.
Program Requirements: Completion of the degree requires 30 semester hours of approved credit, none of which may be from the
prerequisites. The program must include the nine semester hours from three required theory courses: probability (STP 421),
mathematical statistics (STP 427), and theory of statistical linear models (STP 526). The required theory courses are fundamental
to the education of statisticians and are necessary for more advanced graduate study. Two courses in applied linear statistical
models are also required: applied regression analysis (IEE 578, QBA 525, or STP 530) and applied analysis of variance/design of
experiments (IEE 572, QBA 530 or STP 531). The program must also include either three semester hours of applied project (IEE
593, QBA 593, or STP 593) or six semester hours of thesis (IEE 599, QBA 599, or STP 599). The applied project or thesis must
be defended at an oral examination. The content of the applied project report or thesis must, in its final form, be suitable for
submission to an academic journal or conference proceedings. The thesis must conform to Graduate College format requirements.
The remaining nine or 12 semester hours come from elective courses chosen by the student with the approval of supervising
faculty. A maximum of six semester hours may be chosen from a related field on which statistics relies (such as computer
science) or in which statistics is an essential tool (e.g., biostatistics, quality control). The elective courses allow the student to
emphasize a particular area of statistical inference, culminating in an applied project report or a thesis on a topic in that area. No
foreign language or written comprehensive examinations are required.
The student has considerable flexibility in selecting an area of specialty. One area of emphasis is. Possible areas of specialty
include, among others, applied data analysis, Bayesian analysis, biostatistics, categorical data analysis, data mining, design of
experiments, industrial statistics and six sigma methodology, linear models, multivariate analysis, sampling and survey research,
smoothing methods, statistical computing, statistical process control, and time series analysis.
Admission Requirements: Applicants must satisfy the general requirements for admission to the Graduate College. Applicants
should have completed the following courses (equivalents at ASU are given in parentheses): calculus (MAT 270, 271, and 272),
advanced calculus (MAT 371), linear algebra (MAT 342), computer programming (CSE 100), and introductory applied statistics
(QBA 221 or STP 420). Applicants who lack any of these prerequisite courses must complete the prerequisites before being
considered for admission. The submission of Graduate Record Examination test scores is strongly encouraged, but not required.
In addition applicants must submit three letters of academic recommendation and a brief statement of purpose to the director of
the Committee on Statistics. Although most applicants earn the bachelor’s degree in a quantitative area (such as statistics,
quantitative business analysis, mathematics, engineering, or computer science), this is not required for admission to the program.

Official Degree Awarded: Juris Doctor of Law (JD)
Program Description: The Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law offers programs in traditional law studies that culminate in a
Juris Doctor (JD) degree. Within the JD program, there are many areas of concentration, such as Indian law, science and
technology, tax, and philosophy. In addition, the college offers several joint degree programs for individuals who wish to earn
additional degree distinctions along with the JD.

2008-09 Academic Catalog 295

The Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law offers a fully ABA-accredited Juris Doctor degree program. The program is full-time
and classes are offered during the day. The college enrolls about 170 students each fall.
Program Requirements: Students must complete a total of 88 semester hours and write a substantial paper to complete the
graduation requirements. First year students are required to take a specific set of classes, including Contracts, Torts, Criminal
Law, Civil Procedure, Constitutional Law I, Property, Law and the Regulatory State, and Legal Research and Writing. After the
first year, the only required courses are Professional Responsibility and Criminal Procedure or Constitutional Law II. Students
may also participate in the various clinics, simulation courses, or externships.
Admission Requirements: The Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law at Arizona State University enrolls only one first-year class
per year, and it enters in the fall semester. The program is full-time, day-time only. Each year, far more applications are
submitted to the College of Law than the college's facilities and programs can accommodate. Thus, admission is competitive. The
College of Law makes its admissions decisions based upon all information contained in the applicant's file.
To be considered for admission to the JD program, an applicant must have taken the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) and
have earned, or expect to earn by the time of enrollment in law school a baccalaureate degree from an accredited, four-year
college or university. Further, a candidate must complete the application for admission and submit all mandatory attachments.
Transcripts and letters of recommendation must be submitted through the Law School Data Assembly Service (LSDAS) and will
be provided to the College of Law by LSAC with the applicant's LSAT record.
The Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law at Arizona State University will provide full file review to 100 percent of the
completed applications to the JD program. While the applicant's undergraduate record and LSAT score are important predictors,
no decision will be made on objective criteria alone. Among the other factors considered by the admissions committee are the
rigor of the undergraduate course of study, graduate study, demonstrated commitment to public service, work experience,
leadership experience, extracurricular or community activities, history of overcoming economic or other disadvantage, personal
experiences with discrimination, overcoming disability, geographic diversity, diversity of experience and background, maturity,
ability to communicate, foreign language proficiency, honors and awards, service in the Armed Forces, publications, exceptional
personal talents and other factors.
Early Admission
To be considered timely for Early Admission, an applicant must take the LSAT no later then the September/October
administration, and submit a completed application for admission postmarked or electronically submitted no later then November
1. Any application postmarked or electronically submitted after November 1, or remaining incomplete as of December 10, even if
marked for Early Admission, will be considered along with the Regular Admission applications.
The admissions committee will make every effort to provide a response on all completed Early Admission applications by the
end of January. Please note that some applicants will not receive a final decision of admission or denial, but will instead receive
notice that they are being held for review with the regular applicant pool.
Regular Admission
To be considered timely for Regular Admission, an applicant must take the LSAT no later than the February administration, and
submit a completed application for admission postmarked or electronically submitted no later than February 1. Any application
postmarked or electronically submitted after February 1, or remaining incomplete as of March 10, is untimely and may be at a
disadvantage in the review process.
For an application to be considered complete, it must include the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•

A $50 application fee (credit card/check/money order).
A personal statement that does not exceed three double-spaced, typed pages.
A resume that does not exceed three typed pages.
Explanations to affirmative answers to any conduct questions.
Law School Admissions Test (LSAT) score(s) from Law Services.
A complete Law School Data Assembly Service (LSDAS) report with all transcripts and letters of recommendation.
The LSDAS report must be from the current application year.

Contact: http://www.law.asu.edu | llm-mls.admissionsl@asu.edu | 4809656181 | 7906
Official Degree Awarded: Biotechnology and Genomics (LL.M.)
Program Description: The Master of Laws (LLM) in Biotechnology and Genomics program is offered through the Sandra Day
O’Connor College of Law’s Center for the Study of Law, Science, and Technology, the nation’s oldest, largest, and most
comprehensive research center focusing on the intersection of law and science. Through classroom instruction and guided
independent study, LLM candidates (those who have received their Juris Doctor or comparable terminal law degree) will
examine the legal issues surrounding genetic applications such as genetically modified organisms, forensic evidence, gene
testing, gene therapy, cloning, stem cells, and behavioral genetics. The issues relate to privacy, confidentiality, regulation,
liability, international trade, evidentiary standards, intellectual property, licensing, and business planning.
LLM students explore and examine the law that enables and constrains the development, control, and application of
biotechnology and genomics. Relevant legal fields include health law, particularly public health law, agricultural law and policy,
and intellectual property. Forensic science and ethical constraints upon the various contemplated uses are also important elements
of the program. Because the legal, ethical and policy aspects of genomics and biotechnology are of global significance, this
program will also be beneficial for non-U.S. lawyers.
Program Requirements: The program is designed to be completed in nine months on a full-time basis, but may also be pursued
on a part-time basis. A degree candidate must complete 24 semester hours of course work to obtain the LLM in Biotechnology
and Genomics degree. A candidate may elect to write a graduate thesis for either three or six semester hours, or can instead elect
to not write a thesis and fulfill the equivalent credits with other course work. Two courses are required, (1) Genetics and the Law
and (2) Biotechnology: Science, Policy and Law. The remaining semester hours will generally be obtained from the list of
elective courses. With faculty advisor approval, a candidate may satisfy up to six semester hours with courses offered by the law
school or other ASU departments.
Admission Requirements: Criteria for admission include grades in law school and other academic programs, recommendations by
professors and/or employers, employment and life experience, and evidence of interest and potential in biotechnology and
genomics. The admissions committee recommends and appreciates early applications. We do not anticipate matriculating more
than 20 full-time students annually. Applications are currently accepted on a rolling basis, with preference given for fall start
dates.

SANDRA DAY O'CONNOR COLLEGE OF LAW, TEMPE
Contact: http://www.law.asu.edu | llm-mls.admissionsl@asu.edu | 4809656181 | 7906
Official Degree Awarded: Legal Studies (MLS)
Program Description: The Master of Legal Studies (MLS) program offers an interdisciplinary immersion in the law school's
curriculum to highly qualified non-lawyers who do not seek a degree that will enable them to practice law, but instead wish to
achieve a basic familiarity with legal thought and to explore the relation of law to their ongoing fields of work or scholarship.
The program seeks MLS candidates from a variety of backgrounds with a diversity of goals: natural scientists and engineers who
want to study the legal regulation of science or the protection of intellectual property; social scientists who seek a foundation in
law and legal process in order to design and conduct better informed empirical research on policy issues; humanities scholars
who desire a foundational understanding of law and legal culture to enrich their primary historical or philosophical or literary
scholarship; journalists who want to report on law-related events in a more informed and illuminating way; entrepreneurs and
managers who hope to better advance their companies in industries as diverse as banking, insurance, construction, development,
agribusiness, and electronics by better understanding the legal system in which they operate. This program is intended for the
professional who wishes to study law, but does not seek to become an attorney. Completed course work from the MLS will not
qualify as law school credit.
Program Requirements: The program consists of 30 semester hours of approved study. The degree can be completed in two
semesters of full-time study or spread out over two or more years in part-time study. Each student is assigned a faculty advisor to
help develop a curriculum that best meets the student's goals. MLS students are required to choose at least two of the following
basic first year law courses-Contracts, Constitutional Law, Criminal Law, Property, and Torts. Other courses can be chosen from
Legal Process, Legislation, or Jurisprudence in order to include a broad perspectives course in their curriculum. These core
courses will provide 10 to 12 of the requisite 30 semester hours. The remainder of the hours are electives. Course selection will
be flexible to accommodate the diversity of intellectual interests the program is intended to serve. Students will earn the
remainder of their credits through whatever combination of elective law school courses-and in some instances courses offered
elsewhere in the University-best complements and advances the student’s goals.
Admission Requirements: To begin this graduate-level program, students must have earned an undergraduate degree from an
accredited four-year college or university in the United States or a comparable degree from a foreign institution. All applicants
must submit official transcripts of their undergraduate and graduate degree studies, a personal statement, a resume, a writing
sample, and two letters of recommendation. The admissions committee recommends and appreciates early applications.
Criteria for admission include prior academic experience, recommendations by professors and/or employers, employment and life
experience, and evidence of potential for success. Graduate school entrance exams (e.g., LSAT, GRE, GMAT, etc) are not
required, but applicants who have taken those exams are invited to report their scores. One goal of the admissions committee is to
admit a diverse student body that will contribute to a dynamic and interesting learning environment. Academic background and
strength, though important, are not the only criteria evaluated in the application process. For this reason, a personal statement,
written by you, limited to 1250 words on double-spaced, typed pages, is a required part of the application. In this statement we
seek information about your distinctive qualities, talents, successes, achievements, interests, life experiences, and interest in the
program. Your writing sample should be a professional or academic sample, written solely by you, that gives an indication of
your writing ability.

SANDRA DAY O'CONNOR COLLEGE OF LAW, TEMPE
Contact: http://www.law.asu.edu | llm-mls.admissions@asu.edu | 4809656181 | 7906
Official Degree Awarded: Tribal Policy, Law and Government (LL.M.)
Program Description: The LLM in Tribal Policy, Law and Government is designed for lawyers and law school graduates who
desire to work on issues related to tribal law and federal Indian law at the professional and academic levels. The Indian Legal
Program is nationally known and was established in 1988. Today, the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law graduates more
Indian law specialists than any other law school in the country. The LLM program provides students with a detailed
understanding of the nature of tribal government, law, and policy development within the domestic federal structure. Candidates
will benefit from the extensive resources committed to the Indian Legal Program, including a full-time director and staff and an
Indian Law Clinic with its own full-time director and staff. The core curricular offerings focus on domestic tribal law, federal
Indian law, and American institutions of law and government. The program explores the expression of domestic law within
contemporary administrative, governmental, and judicial institutions. ASU is located in the heart of the Southwestern United

2008-09 Academic Catalog 299

States, home to roughly one-third of the native population in the United States and where many of the largest Indian nations in
the country reside. It is the academic home for several nationally known scholars who do research on American Indian issues,
and houses many unique resources for such scholarship, including the Labriola Collection at Hayden Library.
Program Requirements: The program is administered by the Indian Legal Program and consists of two different tracks intended
to serve two distinct groups of students. Candidates will choose either the practicum track or the thesis track.
The LLM Practicum Track
The LLM Practicum Track is oriented toward students who seek practical experience in tribal law and federal Indian law. It
provides intensive instruction to students who graduated from a law school that had few or no courses in Indian law and who now
seek to practice in these areas at a professional level. This track requires a minimum of 24 semester hours of study, including a
clinical law experience. A thesis is not required.
Students will immerse themselves in the study of tribal law and federal Indian law and will apply the knowledge and experience
they gain through the practical component of the degree program which may consist of state, tribal and federal court practice;
tribal code drafting; and research projects for tribal courts and governments. Graduates will be well equipped for professional
positions that require knowledge and expertise in tribal law and federal Indian law. Students on the practicum track will have the
option of pursuing the degree on a part-time basis.
The LLM Thesis Track
The LLM Thesis track is oriented toward students who desire to undertake the academic study of tribal law and federal Indian
law in preparation for careers as professors and scholars. This track is designed for candidates who have demonstrated analytic
and research ability, and who desire to undertake extended study, research, and scholarly writing. This track will require a
minimum of 30 semester hours of study, including completion of a thesis of publishable quality.
Students will build a foundation in scholarly research and writing in tribal law and federal Indian law. While matriculating in the
program, LLM students will have the opportunity to teach at the law school level. Students will be assigned to an Indian law
professor who will mentor them in creating a thesis and submitting publishable articles. Graduates will have the necessary skills
for entry-level positions in academia.
Admission Requirements: Criteria for admission include grades in law school and other academic programs, written
recommendations by professors and/or employers, relevant professional and practical experience, and evidence of interest and
potential in Indian Law.
Students admitted to the LLM program in Tribal Policy, Law, and Government must possess either a Juris Doctor degree from a
law school in the United States accredited by the American Bar Association or a comparable terminal law degree from a law
school accredited by the government or the highest accrediting authority of the nation inwhich the school is located. The program
is oriented, however, toward students who have a basic understanding of American government and have taken the relevant
foundational course in federal constitutional law. For this reason,it is assumed that most applicants will have earned their degrees
from law schools within the United States.
The LLM program is designed to accommodate seven students per year. Interest in this program appears to be large. Because the
committee utilizes a "rolling admissions" process and space is limited, your chances of acceptance are higher the earlier you
apply.
Applicants to the program must submit:
1. proof of a law degree; either
a) a JD from an ABA accredited law school in the United States or
b) a comparable law degree from a foreign law school approved by either the government or the relevant accrediting authority of
the nation in which the school is located;
2. an essay describing their interest in the program;
3. a writing sample;
4. two letters of recommendation;

COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS AND SCIENCES, TEMPE
Contact: http://shesc.asu.edu/graduate_studies | shescgrad@asu.edu | ANTH 233 | 4809656215 | 2402
Official Degree Awarded: Anthropology (PhD)
Program Description: The School of Human Evolution and Social Change is an excellent choice for students wanting to pursue a
PhD in the traditional fields of anthropology (socio-cultural anthropology, linguistics, physical anthropology or archaeology). It
is also an ideal environment for students who want to combine these approaches and other disciplines to explore specific issues or
research questions. Our flexible graduate curricula are designed to encourage students to design innovative programs of study to
pursue their interests, while receiving broad training in key areas. The anthropology faculty actively engage with faculty in other
disciplines, including environmental economics, formal modeling, urban planning, science and technology studies, and
sociology.
The school offers many exciting hands-on learning opportunities through laboratories and field-based research that focus on
finding ancient human fossils; unearthing buried cities, villages, and hunter-gatherer camps; understanding the development of
language; appreciating the cultures of such diverse areas as Southeast Asia, Latin America, and the Mediterranean Basin; disease
and medicine; human-environmental interactions; and many other topics that explore humans of the past and present. Students
without a master's degree apply to Phase I of the program, where they will receive a master's degree in passing. During this
phase, students develop a Research Skills Portfolio and present one of their papers in a school-wide research symposium. A
formal evaluation is then completed to determine the student's readiness to enter Phase II of the program. Students with an MA in
anthropology or related field begin in Phase II of the PhD program where they receive training to become expert scholars able to
contribute not only to their chosen field, but to finding solutions to humankind's greatest challenges.
Program Requirements: This degree program requires 84 credit hours, a dissertation, and a written comprehensive examination.
The doctoral program is divided into three phases. The first consists of 30 semester hours of course work and readings,
culminating in a research portfolio, which normally consists of two research papers. The faculty may require additional hours of
course work or other preparation for entering students who are unfamiliar with the concepts of general anthropology at a level
equivalent to that of the ASU undergraduate anthropology core. Mastery of the phase I course material is demonstrated by
successful completion of a sequence of core courses. Admission to phase II of the doctoral program is granted to students on the
basis of performance in phase I, the quality of the MA research portfolio, prior course work, faculty recommendations, and other
relevant information. The second phase consists of 30 semester hours of course work, readings in anthropology and related fields,
and directed research designed to prepare the student for the dissertation project. Proficiency in one foreign language may be
required by the supervisory committee. The second phase is completed when the following have been met:
1.
2.

passing a written comprehensive examination, and
passing the oral defense of the dissertation proposal.

The successful student is then advanced to candidacy.
The final phase consists of 24 semester hours of research and dissertation.
Admission Requirements: In addition to the general requirements for admission to the Graduate College, the School of Human
Evolution and Social Change requires applicants to provide a statement of their interests and professional goals and three letters

Applied Mathematics for the Life and Social Sciences (PhD) LAAMLPHD
COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS AND SCIENCES, TEMPE
Contact: shescgrad@asu.edu | SHESC 210PC | 480/965-6215 | 2402
Official Degree Awarded: Applied Mathematics for the Life and Social Sciences (PhD)
Program Description: The Applied Mathematics for the Life and Social Sciences (AMLSS) doctoral degree focuses on the
training of researchers working on scientific questions at the interface of the mathematical, life and social sciences. Graduates of
the program will be making innovative and far reaching scientific contributions that rely on the cutting-edge computational
mathematical and modeling approaches. This degree focuses on producing quantitative scientists and applied mathematicians
conducting high-level interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary research. The program’s faculty includes mathematicians,
statisticians, theoretical biologists and social scientists from five different schools at Arizona State University.
There is a high demand for such an applied doctoral program from students interested in meeting the challenges faced by
communities in the 21st century—and by research and planning programs at institutions whose mission is to address global
challenges. Arizona’s and the nation’s health, environmental and natural resource challenges are urgently in need of a large pool
of researchers with these interdisciplinary skills.
Applied Mathematics for the Life and Social Sciences (AMLSS) is a challenging field because it requires balancing various ways
of thinking (computational, mathematical, statistical, sociological and scientific) and combining them through the production of
coherent applications to life and social sciences. Students with strong but possibly highly heterogeneous scientific and cultural
backgrounds will find a natural home in this field.
The specific skills that successful students should master in an ideal world would result in a large set whose implementation
would be daunting. It is unlikely that all these skills could be taught within a reasonable time frame to a single student at the
university separately. Hence, the focus of this degree is on finding ways for students to learn a way of thinking, that is, an
appropriate philosophy of learning that will potentially help them (life-long project) become first-rate scientists. The curriculum
includes dynamic and statistical approaches as critical and unifying components.
In AMLSS the subject of the studies are people and subsequently relevant solutions of each research question which has a natural
time scale pertaining to the particular question and level of social applicability. The fundamental challenge associated with the
development of AMLSS curricula comes from the fact that it must provide a bridge connecting the stream of research that is
being carried out at particular temporal and spatial scales across scales and levels of social organization. The program builds
upon foundations already established in mathematical epidemiology, population dynamics, ecology, genomics, bioinformatics,
mathematical analysis, nonlinear dynamic, computational sciences and the social science fields by offering courses that enhances

2008-09 Academic Catalog 304

interdisciplinary exchanges and collaboration among the faculty and students interested in addressing questions of social
relevance.
In short, AMLSS is a new and exciting frontier at the intersection of the environmental, health, life, social, mathematical,
physical and computational sciences. It deals with challenges that are inherent to complex adaptive systems, particularly, those
that involve human interactions. The graduate experience stresses exposure to interdisciplinary learning; interweaving of theory,
applications, and analytical approaches, and cross-disciplinary and international collaboration.
Program Requirements: The program requires a total of 84 semester hours. Up to 30 semester hours can be counted from a
previously awarded master's degree. After a master's degree, the students must complete a minimum of 30 semester hours, 12
hours of research, plus 12 hours of dissertation research for a total of 54 hours. The core competences shall consist of math
biology, stochastic modeling, deterministic modeling or computational methods, statistics and probability, and core math skills.
All students are required to complete:
AML 610 Topics in Applied Mathematics for the Life and Social Sciences (3).
AML 611 Research Design and Proposal Writing (3) or approved equivalent.
AML 612 Applied Mathematics for the Life and Social Sciences Modeling Seminar (3) or approved equivalent.
AML 613 Probability and Stochastic Modeling for the Life and Social Sciences (3) or approved equivalent.
A course in Theory of Statistics or advanced Biostatistics (3).
Applied Mathematical Analysis or Mathematical Methods (3), this includes topics in advanced calculus, complex variables,
advanced linear algebra and ODE's and PDE's.
Remaining electives are selected from an approved list. Students must also demonstrate competency in a computer programming
or modeling language. This can be done either by course work or practical applications or both. Due to the interdisciplinary
nature of the program, students are encouraged to propose to the Executive Committee additional courses from any ASU unit as
possible electives.
The degree policies and procedures are designed to promote degree completion in three years for those entering with a master's
degree, and no more than five years for those entering directly from the bachelor's degree. These timelines are to be considered
goals contingent on the individual circumstances and educational aspirations of the student. There are three different timeline
tracks: post-bachelors full-time, post-master's full time, and post-master's half-time. Students are required to follow the timelines
as closely as possible. The half-time track is only available to those who have a master's in an area that provides basic
background in a relevant subject area (e.g., in applied mathematics, biology, sociology), and students must have the approval of
both their major professor and the executive committee to be on the half-time track.

•

•
•

Within the first year, and ideally in the first semester, the student selects a temporary major professor who is an affiliate
of the applied mathematics for the life and social sciences program. The major professor is affirmed no later than the
end of the 3rd semester.
When a student selects a supervisory committee, there must be three or more members, and the committee must be
approved by the executive committee and the ASU Graduate College.
There are three tracks a student can concentrate in
1. Life sciences—focus on understanding the tools for representing the structure and operation of complex
biological and ecological processes.
2. Social sciences—focus on understanding the tools for representing the structure and operation of complex
social systems and processes.
3. Applied mathematics—more in depth focus on the tools themselves as applied to the life and social sciences,
i.e., on dynamical systems, computational and numerical methods, simulation and mathematical analysis.

The choice should be reflected in the choice of classes and the research topic chosen. Appropriate balance is by oversight and
subject to approval by the graduate committee. A minimum competency in biology and social sciences is expected. To
demonstrate this at least four of the electives will consist of two graduate courses in the areas of life sciences—evolutionary
biology, molecular biology, genetics, physiology, etc., and two in the social—sociology, geography, demography, anthropology,

2008-09 Academic Catalog 305

etc., (for post-master's students these credits can be fulfilled with courses taken prior to entry into the program, subject to
approval).

In the first semester, the student prepares a program of study that addresses all the course requirements, to be approved
by their temporary major professor. This program of study is revised if necessary, and then approved by the full formal
supervisory committee by the time the student completes 27 hours in their program or no later than the end of the
second year whichever comes first.
Based on their track timeline, the student prepares for the doctoral comprehensive exam and a written doctoral
prospectus that must be defended in an oral exam. At the completion of all requirements, including any computer
language requirements, the student is advanced to candidacy.
Students write a research-based dissertation, which must be approved by their committee. The dissertation must be
presented in an oral public defense. Because of the program's emphasis on use-inspired research, the dissertation should
include a perspective or component that addresses the relevance of the research to society.
Students must maintain a 3.20 average GPA in their courses and complete degree requirements per the program's
satisfactory progress policy.
No more than six hours of 400-level courses may be counted toward the degree.

Admission Requirements: Entry level competencies: Prior to admission, students should have completed, at a 300 or 400 level a
minimum of
1.
2.
3.

15 hours of mathematics and/or statistics,
a total of 9 hours of life sciences and social sciences coursework at the senior or college graduate level, and
no less than three hours each of life sciences and social sciences coursework. Minimum GPA for consideration for
admission is a 3.20 on a 4.00 scale for the last two years of study leading to the bachelor’s degree.

Students must meet the admissions criteria of the Graduate College.
Admission decisions will be competitive, based on evidence of GRE scores, undergraduate and graduate GPA, letters of
recommendation, prior relevant experience and statement of purpose.
Applicants submit:

•
•
•
•
•

An official ASU graduate application.
Official GRE scores.
Transcripts of all undergraduate and graduate coursework.
A statement of purpose outlining career and educational goals,
Three letters of academic recommendation.

A master’s degree in the social sciences (e.g., anthropology, sociology, gender studies, geography), life sciences, or related fields
(e.g., biology, genomics, ecology), applied mathematics, mathematics or statistics is preferred. A bachelor’s degree in a relevant
field from a regionally accredited university is required. Students with master’s degrees or coursework in appropriate fields will
usually be favored over those with only bachelor’s level qualifications. Given the interdisciplinary goals of the program, a diverse
pool of students is desirable. Thus, prior training in any one particular field (e.g., applied math or statistics) will not be considered
a necessarily better preparation, and selection of applicants will also seek to maintain some diversity based on prior disciplinary
training and experiences. However, given the quantitative nature of the degree, fluency in calculus and statistics as well as
competency in a computer programming or modeling language will be required.

Official Degree Awarded: Environmental Social Science (PhD)
Program Description: The PhD in Environmental Social Science (ESS) is one of the few doctoral programs in the U.S. that
focuses on the social dynamics of environmental issues using critical social science perspectives. The ASU program is organized
around theoretically-based conceptual domains (political ecology, culture and the environment, environmental justice, science
and technology studies, environmental hazards and vulnerability, and human environment impacts). These are the basis for
addressing various topical foci (including urban environments, technologies and their consequences, landscapes, institutions, and
health and the environment).
Students will work with faculty who have expertise in a broad range of fields including human and physical geography, cultural
and Medical anthropology, archaeology, community resources, demography, geographic information systems, environmental
history, planning, public affairs, sociology, and science and technology studies. The ESS program will train students to move into
teaching and research positions, or to assume leadership roles in nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), government, or

industry. Course work for the degree is focused on developing real-world skills and a solid grasp of complex social science
approaches to environmental issues. Students work closely with their committee to develop a curriculum appropriate to their
chosen interests and career goals.
Program Requirements: All students entering the program complete a suite of classes totaling 30 hours. These include 18 hours
of core classes in Conceptual Domains and Topical Foci. Additional hours come from one course each in Research Design and
Technical Expertise, and six hours of electives. Students may select from a substantial range of courses to satisfy noncore
requirements. Students entering with an MA will be granted up to 30 credit hours toward the 84 hour total required for the Ph.D.
Students without an MA must earn an additional 30 hours of graduate credit, selecting courses from a number of appropriate
programs on campus. All students must earn 12 (and only 12) dissertation hours and may earn up to 12 research hours for a total
of 24 hours to achieve the 84 hour total.
Admission Requirements: Applicants are required to have a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution with a
grade point average of 3.20 (4.00 scale) or higher in the last two years of course work. A master’s degree in any relevant field is
advantageous for environmental social science (ESS) students, or students can earn an MA-in-passing as part of the ESS graduate
program. In addition to general requirements for admission to the Graduate College, the Environmental Social Science PhD
program requires students to provide a statement of their interests and goals as a professional, three letters of recommendations, a
sample of their written work, and GRE scores. While undergraduate work in one of the social sciences (e.g. geography, political
science, sociology, anthropology, planning, or history) is not required, some course work in the social sciences is advantageous
for admission. Students may be required to take additional courses as noted at the time of admission if they lack an adequate
background in the social sciences.

COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS AND SCIENCES, TEMPE
Contact: http://physics.asu.edu | physics.grad@asu.edu | PSF 470 | 4809653561 | 1504
Official Degree Awarded: Natural Science (Physics) (MNS)
Program Description: The Master of Natural Science (MNS) degree curriculum provides interdisciplinary graduate training in
physics, physical science, or physics education. The degree is especially suited for individuals who desire professional training
rather than research training. Designed for flexibility, the curriculum also features individualized professional graduate programs.
These programs are well-suited to the backgrounds and goals of students. The major is Natural Science and students are expected
to emphasize course work in two or more areas of concentration. The program must be interdisciplinary.
Program Requirements: A minimum of 30 semester hours is required for the degree. The supervisory committee, consisting of
three faculty members, is appointed by the dean of the Graduate College upon the recommendation of the chair of the
Department of Physics. The supervisory committee is formed soon after the student has been admitted to the degree program, and
must reflect the interdisciplinary nature of the program. The graduate advisor and the student suggest names of persons to serve
on the supervisory committee. The supervisory committee recommends the program of study, after conferring with the student.
The supervisory committee may require more courses, depending upon the background of the student and the nature of the
proposed program. In some cases undergraduate courses may be required to overcome deficiencies. A thesis is optional. A final
written or oral examination, or both, is required. Each examination is administered by the supervisory committee.
Teachers may enroll in these courses in order to earn credit towards re-certification, or to pursue a Master of Natural Science
degree (MNS). For some courses, the prerequisites are two semesters of trigonometry-based college physics and an introductory
calculus course. These courses are held during the summer. Depending on teacher interest, they may be offered at other times.
Additional information about the MNS for high school physics teachers is available on the department's Web site at
http://phy.asu.edu.
Admission Requirements: Requirements for admission are the availability of resources for the proposed program and a
Department of Physics faculty member designated to serve as a graduate advisor. The submission of scores on the GRE (verbal,
quantitative, and analytical) is required of all applicants. A TOEFL (or equivalent) score for non-native English speakers will be
required when applicable. Applications must be submitted online with accompanying materials as specified on the Graduate

COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS AND SCIENCES, TEMPE
Contact: http://physics.asu.edu/ | physics.grad@asu.edu | PSF 470 | 4809653561 | 1504
Official Degree Awarded: Physics (PhD)
Program Description: The PhD in Physics degree offered by the Department of Physics is intended for highly capable students
having the interest and ability to pursue a career in independent research. The degree marks the transition from student of physics
to independent physicist. PhD in Physics graduate students are the heart and soul of research activities in any physics department.
The ASU graduate program in physics has over 100 PhD students working with members of the physics graduate faculty, which
extends beyond the departmental faculty to include PhD faculty members from related disciplines, which currently include
chemistry and biochemistry, biology, electrical engineering and materials science.
Program Requirements: This degree program requires 84 semester hours, a dissertation, a written comprehensive examination
and an oral comprehensive examination.
PhD physicists enter careers ranging from academic faculty to industrial research to administration and management. To
accommodate this broad spectrum of opportunities, the Department of Physics offers PhD programs in both physics and applied
physics and encompassing a wide range of options as stated below. The goal is to provide, through course work and independent
study, an advanced competence in fundamental, applied and interdisciplinary branches of physics, as well as a demonstrated
ability to conduct independent research.
Each PhD student’s progress is overseen by a supervisory committee, largely chosen by the student under oversight of the
Graduate Program Committee. The supervisory committee approves the student’s program of study. A total of 18 hours of core
Physics courses are required of all Physics students and should ideally be completed within the first year of graduate study.
Core Courses (3 semester hours each)
PHY 521 Classical and Continuum Mechanics
PHY 531 Electrodynamics
PHY 541 Statistical Physics
PHY 576 Quantum Theory
PHY 500 Research Rotation I
PHY 500 Research Rotation II
Research rotations offer a novel means for incoming PhD graduate students to experience research in two separate sub-areas of
physics prior to choosing a thesis topic. The two PHY 500 research rotations must be taken with different faculty advisors and on
significantly different topics. Students select their top choices for research rotations from a catalog of available projects.
Assignments are then made by the Graduate Program Committee, which attempts to optimize student choices. Students may

2008-09 Academic Catalog 351

approach any member of the physics graduate faculty about potential projects, although this does not guarantee assignment to
that specific project. As an integral part of each research rotation, students produce a formal written report to document their
activities during the project and their resulting analysis and conclusions.
Specific areas of emphasis within the PhD program often require additional coursework as determined by the student's advisor
and supervisory committee in consultation with the student. Current areas of emphasis within the Department of Physics are
biological physics, electron diffraction and imaging, nanoscale and materials physics, and particle physics and astrophysics.
The PhD written and oral comprehensive examinations are taken at the beginning of the student's second year. Students choose
one written report from their two research rotations and expand it (generally over the summer while conducting summer research)
into a professional-level report of about 20 pages. The student orally defends this report to a three person committee that is not
related to the student’s eventual thesis committee. The primary intent of the oral exam is to probe the student’s grasp of broad
fundamental physics, emphasizing topics covered in the core PhD courses. In addition, the committee may explore the student's
understanding of specific topics contained in the written report.
Students enrolled in the PhD program may obtain an ‘MS degree in passing’ by satisfactorily filing and completing an MS
program of study, maintaining a GPA of at least 3.00 in a set of designated core courses within a total of at least 30 semester
hours, and passing the PhD written and oral comprehensive examinations. The courses may include those designated for the
chosen emphasis of the student’s doctoral program. Specific graduate courses may be waived by petition to the Graduate
Program Committee upon presenting evidence of equivalent courses previously taken at another institution and provided the prior
courses were not required for a previous degree.
Admission Requirements: Applicants to the Department of Physics PhD program must hold at least a baccalaureate degree from a
recognized institution and must have had adequate undergraduate preparation equivalent to an undergraduate major of 30
semester hours in physics and 20 semester hours in mathematics. Courses in analytic mechanics, electromagnetism, and modern
physics, including quantum mechanics, are particularly important. Applicants must submit test scores for the verbal, quantitative,
and analytical sections of the GRE. Submission of test scores for the Physics GRE subject exam is highly recommended although
not mandatory. A TOEFL (or equivalent) score for non-native English speakers will be required when applicable.
Applications must be submitted online with accompanying materials as specified on the Graduate College Web site. Applicants
requesting credit for prior graduate courses, taken either at ASU or elsewhere, must demonstrate mastery of the relevant course
material to the graduate level standards of the Department of Physics.
Financial support in the form of teaching or research assistantships is contingent upon satisfactory performance in course work,
timely completion of examinations, including the written and oral PhD comprehensive examinations, and the need and
availability of such support. Students on probation are offered support only under exceptional circumstances. The period for
which a PhD candidate may receive financial support through the Department of Physics does not normally exceed six years.

Contact: http://www.asu.edu/clas/psych/ | psygrad@asu.edu | PSY 296 | 4809657606 | 1104
Official Degree Awarded: Psychology (PhD)
Program Description: The Department of Psychology offers doctoral programs designed to provide outstanding training in
innovative research, methodology, and the application of psychological principles to a wide variety of human conditions. The
department is organized into six major areas of interest:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.

behavioral neuroscience;
clinical;
cognition, action, and perception;
developmental;
quantitative; and
social psychology.

Students pursue their graduate studies within one of these six areas, and each area determines the basic curriculum for their
graduate program. There is, however, substantial opportunity to integrate courses of study across areas in the department. Further,
specialized emphases are available that integrate across programs in the university (e.g., cognition, action, and perception studies
and arts, law and psychology, media, and engineering). At the core of doctoral training in psychology is an emphasis on the
development of skill in research and quantitative methods. Faculty in all six areas are actively engaged in major research
programs. These theoretically grounded research programs address the breadth of psychological processes from basic research in
the neurobiological processes that underlie behavior and health (e.g., drug abuse, stress, heart disease), cognitive processes
involving human memory and perception, personality and issues of stigma and prejudice, and developmental aspects of emotion
and cognition to more applied research that address prevention of child mental health problems, individual resilience, cultural
influences on psychological processes, and women's issues.

2008-09 Academic Catalog 355

A particularly unique strength of the department of psychology is the wealth of outstanding faculty whose specialization is
quantitative methods. A breadth of courses and experiences in quantitative methods are available that are well integrated into the
areas of research that characterize the department, and offer students a rare opportunity to develop expertise in this critical
domain.
Program Requirements: A minimum of 84 semester hours which includes 24 semester hours of research and dissertation beyond
the bachelor's degree are required.
In addition to a core curriculum, students take courses related to their area of interest as determined in consultation with their
supervisory committees. Requirements vary across training areas.
Admission Requirements: Completed applications, including all letters and supporting documents, must be received by December
15 for applicants to the clinical program, and by January 5 for all other applicants (behavioral neuroscience, cognitive,
developmental, quantitative, social psychology).
All applicants are required to submit scores on the Graduate Record Examination (an advanced test in psychology is also required
for clinical psychology), as well as transcripts, three letters of reference, and a statement of purpose. International students must
include their TOEFL scores.
All materials, except for letters of recommendation, should be submitted to the Graduate College. The letters of recommendation,
as well as copies of the statement of purpose, transcripts, and GRE scores (unofficial copies are acceptable) should be sent
directly to

Social Science and Health (PhD) LASSHPHD
COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS AND SCIENCES, TEMPE
Contact: http://shesc.asu.edu/graduate_studies | shesc@asu.edu | Anthropology | 480/965-6213 | 2402
Official Degree Awarded: Social Science and Health (PhD)
Program Description: The PhD in Social Science and Health draws on the premise that sustainable and satisfying solutions to
our most pressing global health challenges requires a sophisticated understanding of how cultural context, social and ecological
processes, and disease are really related. The transdisciplinary graduate program trains students broadly in cutting-edge health
social science research theory and methods. While it leverages the strength in Medical anthropology at ASU (including the 15
Medical anthropologists on campus), it also takes advantage of a much wider set of skills offered by such fields as Medical
sociology, demography, human geography and epidemiology. It is designed to train those who anticipate either working in
transdisciplinary academic settings, Medical schools, or non-academic health settings, such as governmental agencies, NGOs,
and the commercial sector. Some particular thematic foci of the program are: culture and health, social justice and vulnerable
populations, health in the Americas, nutritional anthropology, urban and environmental health, indigenous and minority health,
biocultural approaches to human coping, mathematical epidemiology and computer based complexity modeling, and social
networks. The programs draw some 80 faculty from all across the university to consider how cutting-edge social science can be
applied to not only understand but also improve substantively the health of populations. The program favors community-based
research and runs collaborative projects in which students are encouraged to gain experience and conduct research, from large US
cities to hunter-gatherer communities. Students generally enter the program with an MA in a relevant field.
Program Requirements: The PhD program consists of 84 hours of coursework post BA, or 54 (30 coursework, 24 research and
dissertation) hours post MA and a dissertation. Students are admitted to candidacy on the basis of a written and oral examination.
Students entering the PhD in Social Science and Health do so with diverse backgrounds and with varied career goals. Curricular
tracks will tend to be individualized and final determination of the most appropriate course of study or how each requirement
should most appropriately be met is made by a student’s advisory committee in consideration of the research and career goals of
the student. The plan should ensure that graduates are strong in both social science theory and appropriate health research
methods, and considerable experience in community-level research and its application. Generally, students are expected to
complete a core class in social and bio-cultural theories of health, a course in ethics relevant to health social science, a research
design/ proposal writing course, at least two advanced statistics courses, training in epidemiology, and gain experience in a range
of additional methods such as nutrition, survey, archival analysis, demography, social network analysis, GIS, modeling, or text
analysis. Students should also gain community-based internship/ practicum experience prior to advancement to candidacy. The
appropriate form and duration will be determined by the student’s advisory committee as appropriate to the proposed dissertation
project and/or career plans of the candidate. In most cases, demonstration of language competency is expected; the form and level
of competency required will be determined by the student’s advisory committee as appropriate to the proposed dissertation
project and career plans of the candidate. Also recommended is formal training in instruction, such as the short courses provided
by the Center for Learning and Teaching Excellence.
Admission Requirements: In addition to the general requirements for admission to the Graduate College, the School of Human
Evolution and Social Change requires applicants to provide a statement of their interests and professional goals, list those faculty
with whom they are interested in working, and three letters of recommendation. Applicants who received their BA within the last

2008-09 Academic Catalog 361

10 years must also submit scores on the Graduate Record Examination. Suitable backgrounds for admission include an MA in the
social sciences (such as anthropology or sociology), public health, human biology or related fields. Students entering directly
from the BA should already have completed at least 15 hours of social science and six hours of human biology, or equivalent, at
the senior level, and have some background in statistics and/or epidemiology.

develop an area of specialization and apply these skills to a real-world agribusiness problem through an integrative, capstone
course experience. Both the thesis and nonthesis options require the completion of a common set of core courses. These options
aslo apply to the concentrations in (1) agribusiness management and marketing and (2) food quality assurance.
Program Requirements: All MS candidates must complete a minimum of 36 hours of approved graduate-level course work,
excluding courses taken to address deficiencies. Of these 36 hours, 21 must be taken to satisfy core requirements. Thesis students
fulfill the remaining 15 semester hours by taking three research credits, six thesis credits, and six hours of electives. Nonthesis
students fulfill the remaining hours by taking 15 hours of electives.
It is suggested that students take a coherent sequence of courses such as those indicated below, but considerable flexibility is
possible based on individual backgrounds and interests.

At the outset of the 2008-09 academic year, this degree was offered by the College of Human Services on ASU’s West campus.
As a result of the academic reorganization that occurred during the 2008-09 academic year, this degree program was moved to
the New College of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences at the West campus.
Official Degree Awarded: Communication Studies (MA)
Program Description: Within the MA program in Communication Studies, the notion of advocacy is explored. This is achieved
by examining advocacy across the discipline's traditional classifications and within a variety of contexts. This approach allows
faculty to journey with students to discover and attend to advocacy in new and unique ways, to collectively theorize and practice
advocacy. People who come to our program join the faculty in this endeavor.The advocacy occurs at the intersection of public
and private lives, in the space where the two overlap and mutually inform one another, often in complex and challenging ways. It
is here that we seek to uncover the ways in which symbols, messages and meaning are constructed and arranged to establish,
facilitate, enhance or detract from the social status, social support and/or social identity of particular and often marginalized
groups. Although the faculty recognize fully that one can advocate on one's own behalf, the faculty believe that the true work of
advocacy involves attending to the other. Advocacy though is not limited simply to speaking directly on another's behalf. Rather,
advocacy involves working diligently and ethically to create a space, whether it is public or private, in which the other can speak
for himself or herself. The advocate uses communication theory and practice to reclaim space for and to provide voice to the
other. Advocacy is a calling to the responsibility we have for others in the global age. The MA in Communication Studies seeks

2008-09 Academic Catalog 367

to provide those interested in advocacy the opportunity to develop the intellectual and conceptual skills necessary to follow that
calling.
Program Requirements: The degree consists of 36 semester hours of course work at the 500-level or above, including these

The determination of requirements for each student's program of study is the mutual responsibility of the student and his or her
advisor. Students are permitted to take comprehensive examinations only concurrent with, or subsequent to, completion of their
36th semester hour of course work. Students who choose to complete the thesis or applied project option are permitted to register
for thesis or applied project semester hours only concurrent with, or subsequent to, completion of their 24th semester hour of
course work.

the 84 semester hours, at least 30 hours (which may include research credit) of the approved PhD program and 12 dissertation
hours must be completed after admission to the student’s PhD program. Students may not apply credit hours earned for a doctoral
degree previously awarded at ASU or another institution toward their current ASU doctoral degree. However, at the individual
academic units discretion, students may apply up to 30 semester hours from a previously awarded master’s degree toward their
doctoral program of study.
Students work with their study committees to determine an appropriate program of study. Common areas of functional
specialization among doctoral studies include financial and managerial accounting, auditing, information systems, and taxation.
With these functional areas, doctoral studies may emphasize experimental or archival research methods. All accountancy doctoral
students are required to take a three-semester sequence of accountancy doctoral course work. A maximum of six approved

to advanced practice, application of evidence to advanced practice, advanced pathophysiology, advanced health assessment, and
advanced practice nursing provide a foundation for this specialty.
Graduate education in psychiatric mental health nursing gives opportunities for greater autonomy in practice, diverse
employment opportunities, research and teaching capabilities, and advanced assessment and intervention skills. Approximately
one-third of the curriculum in each course is delivered in a traditional classroom setting, and two-thirds is completed in a webbased format. Several different modalities are used to enhance the student’s learning, including multimedia presentations,
asynchronous discussion boards, and live chats.
Focused clinical experiences are arranged with preceptors and administrators in the student’s local healthcare setting. Rural
health and experiences with disadvantaged and multi-cultural populations are encouraged.
Program Requirements: The Association of Nursing for Critical Care (ANCC) has recommended a minimum of 1000
postbaccalaureate hours for all students completing a DNP. The College of Nursing and Healthcare Innovation's program allows
postbaccalaureate entry students to complete 630 hours of supervised clinical in their chosen specialty before receiving their
Master of Science degree. This will allow students to then meet the requirements for certification and licensure in their specialty.
The additional 540 hours are completed after certification and licensure while practicing as an advanced practice nurse and
completing the final DNP courses. The culminating document needed for completion of the Doctor of Nursing Practice is an
Evidence-Based Mentoring Applied Project. Each student will have a primary mentor and at least one committee member
working with them on the project. Clinical practice residency hours will be used to carry out the project in a practice setting
(work settings may be included, but specific objectives will be developed, individually with each student, that may be different
from the student’s job). Each project will be developed individually with each student. Post-master entry applicants should have
some ideas for a project already developed before entry.

Official Degree Awarded: Social Work (PhD)
Program Description: The purpose of our doctoral program is to "prepare future social work scholars." While there are many
possible definitions of scholarship, the Arizona State University School of Social Work adheres to a broad definition.
A scholar in social work engages in research, teaching, and service. Our program introduces students to the complex range of
roles and responsibilities of faculty and other social work roles of leadership. Critical thinking and creativity in research,
teaching, and service are at the core of our program.
Given the cultural and economic diversity of the Southwest, our program also strives to elaborate the human potential embedded
in our region's distinct experiences and perspectives. The university offers opportunities for scholarship integrating diverse
cultural experiences such as those offered through specialized programs, including American Indian Studies and Chicano and
Chicana Studies, African and African American Studies and Asian Pacific American Studies. We hope that our graduates will
play key roles in integrating diversity in their social welfare activities with local, state, and regional groups.
The program emphasizes enhancement of scholarship through:
1.
2.
3.
4.

applied social work research in diverse community settings and populations of the Southwest;
teaching, from syllabus development to classroom teaching across the professional continuum;
participation in collegial decision making; and
participation in field education and community services.

Students are expected to participate fully in research teaching, and field liaison activities during their course of studies.
Program Requirements: Students must demonstrate scholarly competencies that are tailored to individuals interests. These
competencies include micro/macro theories and perspectives on critical issues in social work and social welfare, research
methodologies (qualitative and quantitative), and professoriate/leadership training in research, teaching and service.
Our doctoral degree requires that a student take a minimum of 36 course credit hours beyond the MSW degree and 84 beyond the
baccalaureate degree. Students may need to take additional course work to achieve the competency requirements set by the
program or set by their graduate supervisory committees. Students must also take a minimum of 24 credit hours of dissertation
related research (12 hours of SWG 792 and 12 hours of SWG 799).
Residency
Within the first year of matriculation, all students must complete the School of Social Work residency requirement (a minimum
of nine semester hours in each semester of consecutive fall/spring or spring/fall semesters excluding summers).
Foreign Language Requirement
None.
Qualifying Examination
Students are given a qualifying examination in the semester following the completion of the first 18 hours of approved PhD
course work. Students who fail the examination may retake it the following semester. Students failing the qualifying examination
twice will be dropped from the program.
Comprehensive Examination
Upon completion of course work and the qualifying examination, but before beginning dissertation research, students are given a
written examination covering research, theory, and methods in their substantive areas. If students should fail one or more
components of the examination, a reexamination may be administered no sooner than three months and no later than one year
from the date of the original examination. Approval of the reexamination must be obtained from the supervisory committee and
dean of graduate studies.

2008-09 Academic Catalog 387

Research and Dissertation Requirements

Media Analysis Minor CSCMOMINA
JOURNALISM, WALTER CRONKITE SCHOOL OF
Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication
Description: The mass media, more than ever before, play a vital role in how information is disseminated and how societies are
shaped and function. As traditional forms of media and information dissemination change rapidly in an increasingly
technological world, it is more important than ever for students to understand the way that media work as well as learn to
evaluate the messages that are sent.
All students can benefit from the study of mass communications institutions, functions and techniques. In this minor, students
will learn to understand the roles that media play, how they are changing and their impact. They will be given the tools they need
to critically evaluate, analyze and interpret media messages in order to become wise consumers of media themselves.
Program Requirement: The Minor of Media Analysis consists of 18 semester hours of course work. This is a requirement
consistent with many other minor programs at Arizona State University and at other colleges and universities.
The focus of the program is on media analysis: Students in the minor will concentrate on evaluating the impact of information
dissemination rather than on topics that focus on the practice of gathering and distributing messages. Students in the minor may
not register for courses in the professional journalism curriculum.
To take upper-division courses, the student must be at least a sophomore (25 semester hours). To pursue the minor in Media
Analysis, the student must maintain a minimum 2.00 overall GPA, obtain a minimum grade of C (2.00) in each course in the
minor, and have a major other than Journalism and Mass Communication. Three specific classes will be required (nine hours).
The required classes are:
MCO 120 Media and Society SB (3)
MCO 240 Media Issues in American Pop Culture (3)
OR
MCO 418 History of Mass Communication SB, H (3)
MCO 498 Media Analysis Senior Seminar (3)
In addition, students select three additional courses (nine hours) from the list of electives offered by the Walter Cronkite School.
(The common element of these courses is that they focus on understanding specific aspects of the mass media and how those
aspects impact individuals and societies in terms of function, effects, and enculturation.)
MCO 200 Introduction to the Electronic Media (3)
MCO 240 Media Issues in American Pop Culture (3)
MCO 418 History of Mass Communication SB, H (3)

everyday life unique to any given locale. These are the ingredients that make our places sustainable—economically, socially and
environmentally—by endowing a “sense of place” along with a “sense of community.”
This certificate also serves professionals in the community working in the areas of urban governance, land-use law, public art,
planning, parks & recreation, community development, philanthropy and others. Flexible class times and locations make the
certificate a viable option for those unable to attend classes during the day.

COLLEGE OF PUBLIC PROGRAMS
Description: The undergraduate certificate in Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Studies is offered by the Committee on
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Studies, administered through the College of Public Programs.
Lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, and transgendered (LGBT) people play important roles as colleagues, clients, parents, children,
siblings, neighbors, employees and employers, religious leaders, and friends. Given the increasing visibility and changing
political climate for LGBT people in the United States, all students—not only those who identify themselves as gay, lesbian,
bisexual, or transgender—are served well by learning about the histories, communities, and contemporary social issues regarding
people from LGBT backgrounds. The educational experience is enhanced when students are introduced to complex intersections
between and among sexual, racial, ethnic, religious, geographic, and national identities. The philosophy of this certificate
program is to promote intellectual and pedagogical diversity as one of the university's greatest assets, in part by instilling in
students sensitivity to cultures different from their own, but also through careful analysis of the self in historical, artistic, and
sociocultural contexts.
The goals of the certificate program are to give students knowledge about specific lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered
communities; knowledge about the history and maintenance of the category, lesbians and gay men; theoretical perspectives on
heterosexuality as a presumptive sexual identity; an understanding of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Studies as an
academic area of inquiry; an understanding of community politics, dynamics, and conflicts; use-inspired education that
culminates in a public presentation; and practical experience in utilizing course work knowledge in the community through an
internship or community service project.
Program Requirement: The certificate requires 15 semester hours; a minimum of 12 must be upper division. The two required
courses are Introduction to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Studies and the capstone experience. The remaining nine
hours are electives from an approved list.
Enrollment Requirements: Please contact the department for more information: http://www.asu.edu/copp/bis/.

COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS AND SCIENCES, TEMPE
Contact: http://shesc.asu.edu/node/252 | shesc@asu.edu | SHESC 233 | 480/965-6215
Program Description: The BA in Global Health is an interdisciplinary degree designed for students who seek a broad and
flexible set of skills for understanding contemporary health challenges and thinking about how they might best be solved.
“Global” is understood in the anthropological sense, meaning ways of understanding and addressing disease, health, and well­
being that can incorporate all cultures, places and time, and that can integrate knowledge of health's social, historical, biological
and ecological dimensions. The curriculum emphasizes the development of core skills in critical thinking and problem solving
and the importance of direct experience (research, study abroad, service learning and advocacy). The degree cultivates capacities
to deal with any complex problem with social components: how to identify the critical issues, ask the right questions and create
solutions that are meaningful and effective.
Language Requirement: Y | Program Fee: N
Career Opportunities: Nationally and internationally, the health field provides enormous and varied career opportunities, and
demands for graduates with skills is high and only growing. The major would support the goals of those who plan to pursue

Program Description: The Bachelor of Arts in Transborder Chicana/o and Latina/o Studies is an interdisciplinary degree
program whose central mission is to provide a value added environment that increases the direct participation of Chicana/o and
Latina/o populations in the formation of human and capital development. This concentration has a strong applied orientation and
focuses on the regional and transnational policies and practices that have led to enormous demographic changes in: (1) the
borderlands where close to 12 million persons live in the immediate U.S.-Mexico border region and (2) the entire country with a
total of 20.6 million persons of Mexican origin, either born or migrated to the United States. Our focus concerns the manner in
which economic and political decisions between Mexico and the United States, as well as other transnational policies concerning
other countries, strongly influence the present state of human migration, ecological conditions, economic policy towards trade,
demographic transitions, and the nexus of relations that are established across borders at local, regional, and transborder levels.
We will focus primarily on the U.S. Mexico region but transnational economics and political policies have, and will continue to,
affect the manner in which Spanish speaking Caribbean, and Central and South American regions respond. We will pay special
attention to those policies concerning trade, agriculture, manufactured and assembled goods, and such major policies as NAFTA
and CAFTA. The department is well served by having some faculty strength in this area but is less strong in some aspects
including economic, demographic and quantitative analysis. The recent hire of a sociological demographer, however, will greatly
strengthen this area.

division credit.
It is highly recommended that STS students take a statistics course for their (CS) general studies requirement.
Students in the Science, Technology, and Governance Track will complete the following coursework or their equivalents:
POS 310 American National Government
STS 318 Science, Technology, and Government
STS 325 Science, Technology, and Public Policy

STS 364 Science, Technology, and National Security
Students in the General STS Track must meet with an advisor to determine the coursework needed to fulfill this area of the degree.
The General STS Track has been designed as the integrative component of the STS degree program. It can be used to design dual degrees and double majors
with other programs. Students can utilize it in integrating other degree programs and courses available at ASU.
o
For instance, the Track can be employed in establishing a pre-law degree program with more emphasis on a science and technology curriculum.
o
Students seeking secondary teaching certification can incorporate social science pedagogy courses.
o
In each instance when this Track is chosen by a student, the student will work in conjunction with faculty advisors within Social and Behavioral
Sciences and other units to work out an appropriate program of study.
o
Students can utilize courses available at any unit within ASU for this purpose.
All STS students must take an approved Minor for STS Majors (18 Semester Hours)
Each approved program of study in the STS program must include at least one minor in a substantive field.
STS students are encouraged to take minors in career fields, e.g., business, technology, technical communication, education, etc.
The minor is to help prepare the student for a career upon graduation.
Before taking minor courses, students must meet with their advisor to determine which minor is best suited for their chosen career field.

Integrated Studies courses are selected in consultation with an advisor. Students may not
choose to major in Integrated Studies as freshmen. Instead, the major is approved on a
case by case basis from students who have completed at least 30 graded hours at ASU and
who have earned a minimum GPA of 3.25. In addition, students are required to submit three
letters from faculty who are willing to mentor them through the program as well as to design
a set of courses that create a holistic major that is unavailable at ASU in any other form. All
information is to be submitted to Asst. Dean Barbara Colby, who will determine the viability
and integrity of the proposed degrees

ROMANIAN
School of International Letters and Cultures
2008-2009
Ph: 480.965.6281
Description:
Romanian is a Romance language derived mainly from the Latin language spoken in
the ancient Roman province of Dacia, which coincides roughly with modern Romania.
Romanian has four principal dialects. Daco-Romanian, or Romanian proper, is spoken
by about 18 million people in Romania, in parts of the Federal Republic of
Yugoslavia, Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Former Yugoslav Republic
of Macedonia, Bulgaria, Hungary, and Moldova, where it is officially called Moldovan
(although widely considered identical to Romanian). Macedo-Romanian, or
Aromanian, has several hundred thousand speakers in various Balkan countries. Only
a few thousand people still speak Megleno-Romanian, or Meglenitic, in Greece
northwest of Thessaloníki, and Istro-Romanian, in Istria. These dialects are classified
by some linguists as independent languages.
The Romanian literary language is based on the Daco-Romanian of the historic region
of Walachia, in southern Romania. Romanian preserves some Latin traits lost in other
Romance languages, notably the inflection of nouns. Romanian also has some
characteristics common to the languages spoken in the Balkan Peninsula (most of
which are not Romance languages), such as the placement of the definite article after
the noun. Romanian has absorbed an unusually large number of words from the
Slavic languages, the Greek language, the Turkish language, the Hungarian language,
and the Albanian language.
Required Courses:
ROM 313 – Intermediate Composition and Conversation I
ROM 314 – Intermediate Composition and Conversation II
ROM 411 – Advanced Spoken and Written Romanian I
ROM 412 – Advanced Spoken and Written Romanian II
ANY 2 courses (6 credits)
o 300 ROM courses
o 400 ROM courses
The Romanian concentration consists of 18- semester hours of ROM – courses above
ROM-201. This concentration is so structured that it required all ROM semester hours of
it be at the upper-division (300 – and above) levels.
Notes for BIS emphasis area:
A grade of C or better must be achieved in all courses to be counted toward the
minor.
A minimum of 6 upper-division hours in the concentration must be taken in
residence at ASU Tempe campus
Pass/Fail courses cannot be used for credit towards the concentration

UASB 129, Ph: 480.965.4464
http://uc.asu.edu/LGBT/
Curriculum
The certificate requires fifteen credit hours; a minimum of twelve must be upper
division.
Students who are using the certificate as a concentration for the Bachelor of
Interdisciplinary Studies degree offered through the School of Interdisciplinary
Studies, University College, need to complete eighteen hours of course-work.
Students in this degree program should select twelve hours of electives from the
approved list.
Descriptions of Required Courses
Introduction to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Studies. The
introductory course is taught at the 100 level and carries no prerequisites. The
syllabus has been designed by a faculty committee and is divided into three
topics: history, contemporary issues, and identity development. The purpose of
the course is to introduce the students to key concepts, terms, and issues
related to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people. Individual instructors
create their own assignments and approach topics in unique ways, but
regardless of who teaches the course, the foundations and key elements are
addressed. Key elements include Stonewall, homophile movement, Hirschfeld,
the Holocaust, The Well of Loneliness, Oscar Wilde, health, queer theory and
politics, coming out, gender as a cultural construct, race/class/ethnicity, the
closet, law and policy, transgender issues, transsexual issues, bisexuality, urban/
rural, religion and spirituality, celebrities in the media, and the Westernization of
“gay” and “lesbian” cultures. The curriculum committee will provide instructors
with resources for the course, including materials on the capstone experience
and career development.
Introduction to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Studies will be taught
once each fall and spring semester on a rotation basis. The schedule will be
updated each year. The course will be taught under the prefix of the host
department (e.g., if the course is taught in Social Work, it will carry the SWU
prefix); the course will not be cross-listed; and the SCH (student credit hours) will
go to the host department. Capstone Experience. All students will complete a
three credit- hour capstone experience after completing a minimum of nine
credit hours in the certificate program. The capstone experience will be
supervised by any member of the faculty approved by the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual,
and Transgender Studies Committee.
The capstone experience should be an internship, community service project, or
research apprenticeship that integrates curricular activities with each student’s
unique interests. The capstone experience should be based in principles of useinspired, transformative research or creative activity that bridges the student’s
curriculum with lived experiences of LGBT communities. Ideally, the capstone

COMPUTER GAMING
School of Computing and Informatics
2008-2009
Ph: 480.965.3199
Description
The School of Computing and Informatics offers a computer gaming certificate. The 18credit hour certificate is open to any BIS student is designed to provide a comprehensive
game development skill set that the student can apply to his or her other concentration
area. The goal is not to teach the student to create recreational video games, but to
apply gaming technology to domain-specific problems.
The gaming certificate teaches skills that not only make the student attractive to the
rapidly-growing video game industry, but also to a variety of other enterprises, including
business, medicine, geography, education, and biotechnology, among others.
Students completing the computer gaming certificate will take 6 semester hours of core
courses, then specialize in one of three tracks (9 credit hours), each of which will
culminate in a capstone project (3 credit hours):
Programming: In this track, students focus on how game engines work and
writing software to work within the game engine. This concentration has direct
industry applicability in a number of areas. For example, a student might create a
game architecture to help patients with physical therapy, or design a game platform
that incorporates geographic information systems.
Art: In this track, students focus on the visual aspects of game design, including
2D/3D modeling, animation, and texturing. Real world applications might include
creating an interactive virtual world for corporate training, inventing a surgical
simulation to educate medical students, or creating content for the film industry.
Education: In this track, students discover how to apply game design skills to
achieve educational goals, learning to build virtual worlds that complement an
educational setting. For example, a student might build a game that teaches linear
algebra by incorporating trigonometric rules into the game design, or a game that
teaches correct sentence construction to early English learners.

About the B.A.S. Program
The B.A.S. is a "capstone" or "inverted transfer" degree designed specifically for students who have earned community
college Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) degrees. The goal of the program is to provide students with management,
leadership, critical thinking, and communication skills, along with significant work in a professional specialization.
Program Requirements
The BAS is a 60-semester-hour program, divided into four segments:
General Studies Completion Curriculum (19 semester hours):
The BAS curriculum builds on the general education content of the AAS. ASU General Studies requirements will be
completed with courses in these areas:
Numeracy (NA)
Lab Science (SQ)
Literacy (L)
Humanities (HU)
Social Science (SB)
HU or SB

3 semester hours
4 semester hours

While completing the Humanities and Social Behavioral course, it is important to satisfy the Cultural Diversity, Global
and Historical Awareness Areas. In consultation with an advisor, you will choose courses from the ASU General
Studies list that contribute to the overall curriculum and meet degree requirements.
B.A.S. Core Curriculum (15 semester hours minimum):
The BAS Core curriculum is focused on management and organization, professional communication, statistical
processes, and computer competency. These are a set standard of courses required by the selected concentration.
Concentrations (20 semester hours minimum):
20 semester hours of specialization courses from a set curricula.
Assignable Credit (6 semester hours):
These are traditional electives selected in consultation with an advisor to enhance the curriculum. Assignable credit
also can be used to strengthen Math/Science capabilities or computer skills.
