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.
Veterans Exception
By Arizona statute, no failing grades received by a veteran at an Arizona university
or community college before military service may be considered when determining
admissibility. This exception applies only to veterans who
1. are honorably discharged;
2. have served in the armed forces of the United States for a minimum ot two years;
and
3. have previously enrolled at a university or community college in Arizona.
Military service records must be submitted, including form DD 214.
Academic Renewal
Academic renewal is a university policy administered to recalculate the cumulative
ASU GPA of an undergraduate student who:
1. Is pursuing his/her first undergraduate degree and has not previously
received an academic renewal; and
2. Has a cumulative ASU GPA below 2.0 (individual colleges may elect to
consider applications for students whose GPA is a 2.0 or higher); and
3. Is readmitted to a degree program after an absence of at least five
continuous calendar years (including summer sessions).

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 44

Courses (including transfer credits) completed before the five‐year absence with a
grade “C” (2.00) or higher was earned are treated in the same manner as if all the
credits were transfer credits, up to a maximum of 60 credit hours.
The cumulative GPA is based only on credits earned subsequent to the student's
reentry. Graduation requirements for resident credit hours and GPA must be
fulfilled after the academic renewal. Graduation requirements for academic
recognition (resident credit hours and GPA) must also be fulfilled after the academic
renewal.
Courses completed before and after the academic renewal remain on the transcript
and may be considered when students apply for undergraduate professional or
graduate programs.
A request for academic renewal follows this procedure:
1. Students interested in academic renewal must fill out the Application
for Academic Renewal and submit the form to the Dean’s Office in the
college of your major.
2. The Application for Academic Renewal may be submitted immediately
upon readmission but must be submitted no later than the start of the
third semester after readmission.
3. The Dean’s Office specifies in advance a minimum of 12 semester
hours required for completion.
4. When the approved 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’s Office will forward the Application for Academic Renewal to
the University Registrar's Office for processing.

Only readmission 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 a cumulative ASU GPA below 2.00 and have been absent from ASU
5 consecutive calendar years or more 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.

Leave of Absence
Undergraduate Student Leave of Absence (http://students.asu.edu/leave‐absence)
If a student needs to take a small break from their studies at the University they may
be eligible for a Leave of Absence. The Undergraduate Student Leave of Absence
(LOA) policy assists and encourages students to return and graduate after one or
two consecutive fall and spring semesters of absence from ASU. Students who have
only one or two consecutive semesters of absence and who have been granted a
leave of absence need not apply for readmission or pay readmission fees and may
participate in their regularly scheduled registration/enrollment period upon return
to the University.

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.

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.

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.
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.

College­Level 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.

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 54

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
To obtain credit or placement for all subject exams except English, French, German,
and Spanish, a student must receive a score of 50 (Computer Based Training [CBT]
scale) or higher. To obtain credit for English Composition with Essay, a student must
receive a standard score of 610 (1978 scale), 500 (1986 scale), or 60 (CBT scale).
For test scores for French, German, and Spanish, see the CLEP credit table, below.
All equivalency is subject to future review and possible catalog change. For more

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. To be eligible to apply to take a comprehensive
examination to establish undergraduate course equivalence, a student must:
•
•
•

have earned not more than 60 semester hours of credit through
comprehensive, CLEP, international baccalaureate, and advanced placement
examinations
have earned no credit for a duplicate course; and
have earned no credit for a course for which this course is a prerequisite.

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; 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
•
•
•

to waive a course requirement;
to validate certain transfer credits in professional programs; and
to determine a student’s ability in a field where competence is an important
consideration.

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 equivalency with ENG 101, 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 Arizona community college or university, 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 may
be required to submit documentation to determine equivalency of the
course(s). After consultation with an advisor, if evaluation is necessary the
student should provide 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 on the Tempe campus or the Writing Programs Office in
FABN 201A/602.543.6091 on the West campus.
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 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.
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.
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.
Dean’s List
Undergraduate students who earn 12 or more graded semester hours (“A+,” “A,” “A‐

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 62

,” “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

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 63

spring semester at the university. If the student has already registered for a future
fall or spring semester, the registration is canceled. 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.
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.

Academic Standards
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.

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 64

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
the catalog or contact the college deans' offices for statements regarding college
retention standards.
Probation
You will be placed on academic probation if you do not maintain the minimum GPA
standard set by the university or by your college. The following chart shows what
the university requires as a minimum for academic good standing for retention
purposes, but each college may set its own standards.

You may be subject to disqualification if the conditions stated at the bottom of your
grade report are not met by the end of the following fall or spring semester. It may
be possible to achieve academic good standing if you earn above average grades at
ASU or if you repeat lower division courses at ASU in which you have received
grades below "C". Refer to the Academic Standards for your college in the General
Catalog for further information, and contact an academic advisor in the college of
your major.
Ineligible
You will become ineligible if following at least one semester of academic probation,
you do not meet the minimum GPA standard set by your college. While you are
ineligible to remain enrolled in that college, you still meet ASU good standing
requirements and may change your major to one of several other colleges that will
accept you. If you became ineligible, your college sent you a letter at the close of the
semester that outlined the various options available to to you. If you no longer have
that letter, please contact the University Registrar's Recording/Readmission Section
for further Information.
Please note that while your status is ineligible, you may not enroll in fall or spring
classes at ASU. If you have registered for an upcoming semester, you will be
withdrawn from those classes. If you do not change your major to another college,
you may not attend. You must apply for readmission to the university following a

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 65

period of non‐attendance.
Disqualification
If you are placed on probation at the end of a semester, you are subject to academic
disqualification by your college at the end of the following semester if the conditions
imposed for retention are not met. If you are disqualified, you will be notified by the
dean of the college. Please take note of the following information.
•

•
•
•
•

While you are disqualified, you are not eligible to enroll in a fall or spring
semester at ASU. If you have registered for the upcoming fall or spring
semester, you will be withdrawn by the University Registrar's Office, and if
you have already paid tuition for that semester you will receive a full refund. If
you do not attend in the spring semester, you must be readmitted before you
can attend in the upcoming summer or fall, and if you do not attend in the fall
you must be readmitted before you can attend in the upcoming spring or
winter.
You may not attend ASU as a non‐degree seeking student.
If you elect to attend another university, any credits earned there will not
affect your ASU cumulative GPA. A course repeated elsewhere will not enable
you to have a "D" or "E" deleted from your ASU cumulative GPA.
Consult with an academic advisor in the college of your major on your
eligibility to attend ASU summer school or winter session during
disqualification to raise your ASU GPA.
To continue or return to ASU you must apply for reinstatement, and if you skip
a fall or spring semester at ASU you must also apply for readmission.
Deadlines and an application fee apply.

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

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 66

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.
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.
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

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 68

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

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 69

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.
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.

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 70

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. A single course may be used to satisfy one core area and a maximum of two
awareness area requirements;
2. A single course may be used to satisfy a maximum of two awareness area
requirements;
3. 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 upper‐division semester hours (three for L
and three for SB or HU) to complete the ASU General Studies requirement. If
students 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
upper‐division 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].
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

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 72

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
Composition courses transferred from non‐Arizona public or out‐of‐state
institutions may require evaluation and approval by the Writing Programs Office.
After consultation with an advisor, if evaluation is necessary, the student should
provide a copy of the transfer transcript and catalog description of the course(s) to
the Writing Programs Office in LL 314,480/965‐3853 on the Tempe campus or the
Writing Programs Office in FABN 201A, 602/543.6091 on the West campus.
Students should complete the process upon transfer of coursework to ASU so that
the student is able to enroll in additional courses if required to do so.
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
college or public university or transferring among public institutions in Arizona
while pursuing their degrees. Students transferring among Arizona public higher

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 73

education institutions must meet the admission, residency, and all curricular and
academic requirements of the degree‐granting institution.
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. In areas of study in which the subject matter changes rapidly, material in courses
taken long before graduation may become obsolete or irrelevant.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 74

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 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. Register for the final semester.
2. Pay the graduation fee at Cashiering Services.
3. 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.
4. 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.

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 75

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.
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

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 76

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.
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

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 77

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

graduate.asu.edu/academic_policies.html

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 82

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.

graduate.asu.edu/academic_policies.html

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 83

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
academic units if the undergraduate degree is based on credits not accepted by ASU, such as life
experience, or noncredit workshops and seminars.
Page: 5
*Effective 5/18/2009. Consult online version of Graduate Policies for the most current information:
graduate.asu.edu/academic_policies.html

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 84

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
provisional student may also be assigned deficiency courses. Students with Provisional
Admission are not eligible to submit their Plan of Study.

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 85

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.

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.

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 87

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

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 88

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.
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.
Page: 10
*Effective 5/18/2009. Consult online version of Graduate Policies for the most current information:
graduate.asu.edu/academic_policies.html

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 89

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
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
Page: 11
*Effective 5/18/2009. Consult online version of Graduate Policies for the most current information:
graduate.asu.edu/academic_policies.html

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 90

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.
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).
Page: 12
*Effective 5/18/2009. Consult online version of Graduate Policies for the most current information:
graduate.asu.edu/academic_policies.html

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 91

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.

Thesis or Dissertation Research Involving Human and Animal Subjects
Page: 13
*Effective 5/18/2009. Consult online version of Graduate Policies for the most current information:
graduate.asu.edu/academic_policies.html

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 92

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
with their degree program to make sure they have no specific additional requirements on
formatting.

Page: 14
*Effective 5/18/2009. Consult online version of Graduate Policies for the most current information:
graduate.asu.edu/academic_policies.html

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 93

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
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
appropriate graduate-level credit (such as 595 Continuing Registration) during the semester
(including summer session) in which the student defends the thesis.

Page: 16
*Effective 5/18/2009. Consult online version of Graduate Policies for the most current information:
graduate.asu.edu/academic_policies.html

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 95

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

Page: 17
*Effective 5/18/2009. Consult online version of Graduate Policies for the most current information:
graduate.asu.edu/academic_policies.html

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 96

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.
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
Page: 18
*Effective 5/18/2009. Consult online version of Graduate Policies for the most current information:
graduate.asu.edu/academic_policies.html

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 97

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
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

Page: 19
*Effective 5/18/2009. Consult online version of Graduate Policies for the most current information:
graduate.asu.edu/academic_policies.html

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 98

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.

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.
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
Voluntary Withdrawal from the University

*Effective 5/18/2009. Consult online version of Graduate Policies for the most current information:
graduate.asu.edu/academic_policies.html

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 101

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
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
Page: 23
*Effective 5/18/2009. Consult online version of Graduate Policies for the most current information:
graduate.asu.edu/academic_policies.html

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 102

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).
The Guidelines for Graduate Appeals describing further the GCAB appeal procedures, process,
and jurisdiction are available from the Graduate College and on the website at
graduate.asu.edu/files/gradappeals/GradAppeals.

College Policies
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 must 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 http://wpcarey.asu.edu/up [1].
Probation
All business students, freshman through senior, must maintain a minimum GPA of
"C" (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 "C" (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.
Pass/Fail
Business majors may not include among the credits required for graduation any
courses taken at this university on a pass/fail basis. Pass/fail credits taken at
another institution may be petitioned for use, but only if the student can
demonstrate proof that the pass grade was equivalent to a “C” (2.00) or higher.
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.
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

obtained in the undergraduate programs office, BA 109.
Student Appeal Procedure on Grades
The faculty of the W. P. Carey School of Business have adopted a policy on the
student appeal procedure on grades. A copy of the policy may be obtained in the
undergraduate programs office, BA 109.

Graduate Policies
All graduate students in the W. P. Carey School of Business are required to maintain
a cumulative GPA of "B" (3.00). See individual graduate degree programs for specific
requirements on satisfactory academic progress, probation and disqualification.
Advising
Advising of graduate students is normally handled by graduate faculty members.
Once admitted, a student can request a temporary faculty advisor in a potential area
of concentration in order to prepare a program of study. Students are encouraged to
begin discussions with faculty members early in their studies so that course work
can be geared toward supporting their academic progress. All students, whether in a
thesis or nonthesis option, must file a program of study.

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 Office. For more information, call
480‐965‐4495.
Academic Standards and Retention

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 105

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 attend
mandatory advising appointments. Students will also be required to complete an
academic success contract with their advisor to discuss campus academic resources,
plan out semester goals and discuss strategies to attain academic success. These
meetings will continue 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 the college and is
not allowed to register for a fall or spring semester at the university until reinstated.
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 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.

Undergraduate Policies
Critical Requirements and Milestones
For more information about critical requirements, including the milestone, see
http://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 second
semester. For international students whose native language is not English, TOEFL
scores are required.
Milestone
Passing the milestone at the end of the second 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 applications and portfolios, as required by the program. Transfers
requested past the second 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.
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

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 107

keeping for students majoring in architecture, landscape architecture, graphic
design, housing and community development, industrial design, interior design,
urban planning, and the B.A. 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:
•
•
•

Failure, incomplete or withdrawal from any required course.
A semester GPA below 3.00.
A grade of “D” (1.00) or “E” (0.00) in a design studio, a design laboratory or a
design lecture.

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 108

•

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) when any of the
following occurs:
•
•
•
•

The requirements imposed are not met or the probationary semester GPA is
below 3.00 after one semester on probation.
Failures or withdrawals in required courses are not resolved at the next
offering of the course.
They fail or withdraw from required sequential courses.
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 http://design.asu.edu/students/forms.shtml [2]. 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

Mary Lou Fulton Institute and Graduate School of Education Policies
Due to recent organizational changes approved by ABOR, the following policies are
under review.

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. Graduate students pursuing teacher
certification should first contact the Office of Student Services in EDB L1‐13. For
more information, call 480‐965‐4854.
Continuous Enrollment and Reentry
Once admitted to a Ph.D. or Ed.D. 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 Ph.D.
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 can not 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;

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 111

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 Ph.D. 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. 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.
2. Unsatisfactory progress as noted on annual review form by mentor or failure to
meet for annual review.
A student can be recommended for dismissal from the doctoral program if the
following rules are not adhered to:
1. Students have four years from the date of admission to admission to candidacy.
2. 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.
3. 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
The Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering educates undergraduate and graduate
engineering students, giving them the knowledge, skills and attitudes they need for
success in technically‐oriented careers. The school provides students with a range of
educational opportunities by which they may achieve excellence in the major
branches of engineering, computer science and construction management.

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 112

The Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering takes pride in its diversity, its economic and
cultural heritage, and in the quality of its graduates. It strives to be an integral part
of the community it serves and a lifelong presence in the lives of those within its
compass. The school’s educational and research programs are built around the
following principles: entrepreneurship; use‐inspired research and scholarship; a
focus on the individual; intellectual fusion of unique and distinct disciplines; social
embeddedness in the local, national and international community; and global
engagement.

For more information, see http://fulton.asu.edu/fulton/ [1].
Fulton School of Engineering Aspirations
Graduates from any of the school’s programs will be technically sound. In addition
to technical competency, the Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering aspires to develop
leaders who are aware of biological issues, well‐read, well‐spoken and
knowledgeable about current business practices. To this end, the school offers
enhanced curricula, special courses and extracurricular activities to enrich the
student’s stay and to offer every student opportunities to achieve the school’s
aspirations.
All the programs within the school are professional programs, and hence
professionalism is an important component of all the curricula. The school strives to
help students understand and value the various aspects of professionalism,
including ethical behavior, a desire for life long learning, the ability to communicate
with others, and an awareness of how the profession fits into and impacts society.
As a first step in ethics, all students are expected to follow student code of conduct
and rules of academic integrity defined by the university, as outlined at
http://www.asu.edu/studentaffairs/studentlife/srr/index.htm [2].
First­Year Compostion Requirement
Completion of the first‐year composition requirement [3] is required for graduation.
Graduation Requirements
To qualify for graduation, a student must have a minimum cumulative ASU GPA of
2.00 in addition to having a GPA of at least 2.00 for the courses in their major field.
University Graduation Requirements
In addition to department and school requirements, students must meet all
university graduation requirements [4]. A well‐planned program of study enables
students to meet all requirements in a timely fashion. Students are encouraged to
consult with an academic advisor in planning a program to ensure that they comply
with all necessary requirements.

Undergraduate Policies
Evaluation of Previous Course Work
Transferring from one institution to another or between programs can result in a
net loss in credits that count toward the degree. Thus, it is important for students
who contemplate transferring into the Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering 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 the 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 at http://articulation.asu.edu/ [5].
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 the school. Determination of those
particular courses applicable to a specific degree program is made within the
appropriate academic unit with approval of the dean.
Currency of Course Work
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 for their applicability to the student’s curriculum.
General Education Development
Students admitted to the university after successful completion of the General
Education Development (GED) examination are directly admitted to the Ira A.
Fulton School of Engineering (Bachelor of Science in Engineering or Bachelor of
Science) program within their major, provided they meet the minimum ACT or SAT
score required for admission as listed in the table for Ira A. Fulton School of
Engineering admission requirements for freshmen and transfer students.
Readmission
Undergraduates who have been away from the university for one or more semesters
and want to return to ASU in an Ira 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 (see
number four below). All other requests are processed as follows:

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 114

1. School of engineering students seeking readmission to the same school program
they left are readmitted directly to the Bachelor of Science in Engineering or
Bachelor of Science degree program they left with the same academic standing
(i.e., good academic standing or on probation) they had when they left ASU.
2. School of engineering students and non‐school of engineering students, who are
seeking readmission to an Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering program other
than the program they left, and who have an ASU GPA of 3.00 or higher, are
readmitted directly to the Bachelor of Science in Engineering or Bachelor of
Science degree program with the same academic standing (i.e., good academic
standing or on probation) they had when they left ASU.
3. School of engineering students and non‐school of engineering students seeking
readmission to an Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering 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 directly to the new Bachelor of Science in
Engineering or Bachelor of Science degree program with the same academic
standing (i.e., good academic standing or on probation) they had when they left
ASU.
4. School of engineering students and non‐school of engineering students seeking
readmission to an Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering program, who left ASU
with either ineligible or disqualified status are subject to the school’s
reinstatement process, which requires review by the school and program.
Approval of reinstatement requires completion of at least 15 hours of
appropriate non‐school course work with a GPA of 3.00 or higher and a
cumulative (ASU + transfer) GPA of at least 2.50. 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 will return on continued probation in the appropriate
Bachelor of Science in Engineering or Bachelor of Science degree program.
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 Ira A. 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.

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 115

Students are encouraged to utilize the eAdvisor (https://webapp.asu.edu/eadvisor/
[6]) tool for academic planning. eAdvisor provides critical requirements and major
maps (https://webapp.asu.edu/eadvisor/MajorMaps.html [7]), which are
individualized student reports that lay out a specific, clear and accurate path 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
about policies and procedures; 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, see http://www.fulton.asu.edu/fulton [8].
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, student athletes, and students who are found to be having
academic difficulty are required to be advised before they can register for classes,
including winter and 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 credit hours per 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 form at
http://www.fulton.asu.edu/fulton/students/sas/academicstandards.php [9]. The
form in designed to assist students in identifying a path to academic success.
Students on probation are limited to 13 credit hours.
Undergraduate Nondegree Status
Students who are enrolled in an undergraduate nondegree status in the school must

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 116

obtain advising and approval to register from the Office of the Associate Dean of
Academic and Student Affairs before registering each semester.
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‐Ira A. 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 the
school unless the course(s) are required in their degree program and the students
have the proper course prerequisites.
Academic Standards
The school has developed and enforces a number of academic standards. These
standards are designed to support students and ensure 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 fulfill all of the following:
1. Maintain an acceptable GPA.
2. Enroll and complete critical tracking requirements.
3. Complete courses each semester that are applicable to their degree.
Students who are making satisfactory progress are said to be in good standing.

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 117

Probation
Some students do not make satisfactory progress and these students generally need
extra attention and resources to help them get back to academic good standing. 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 credit 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. To return to academic good
standing in the Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering, students with probation status
need to earn a minimum semester GPA of 2.25 and earn a minimum cumulative ASU
GPA of 2.00 at the end of the probation semester. If enrolled in only one course a
grade of "C+" (2.33) or better and a minimum cumulative ASU GPA of 2.00 is
required to obtain 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:
•
•
•

A semester or summer session with a GPA less than or equal to 1.50.
Two successive semesters with GPAs less than 2.00.
An ASU cumulative GPA less than 2.00 (for more than 55 credit hours).

Automatic review is triggered by any one of the following:
•
•
•

An ASU cumulative GPA less than 2.00 (0 to 55 credit hours).
A cumulative GPA in the major of less than 2.00.
A failure to complete any courses appropriate for the degree during each
semester.

Courses completed during winter session are not used to reevaluate a student's
spring semester probationary status. 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 does any of the following:
•

Does not attain a semester GPA of 2.25 or higher.

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 118

•
•
•

Has a cumulative GPA below 2.00 at the end of the probationary semester.
Has already been on probation for two consecutive semesters.
Failed to complete any courses appropriate for the degree during each
semester.

Ineligible students are subject to the following limitations:
1. Students who change colleges may not register for courses in engineering unless
the courses are required by their new major.
2. 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. 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 of completed course work. Students should check with an advisor in the
Office of Academic and Student Affairs to determine if they are eligible.
2. Student may take nonengineering courses during summer and winter sessions.
3. 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 Ira A. Fulton School
of Engineering and ASU must request reinstatement as part of the readmission
process.
Reinstatement:
1. Is only considered after a student has remained out of the school for a minimum
of 12 months.
2. Requires a student to supply proof that he or she is now capable of successfully
completing courses in the discipline (e.g., completing at least 15 hours of
appropriate course work at another postsecondary institution at a GPA of 3.00
or higher).
3. 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 in the program to
which the student is being readmitted.
Graduate Policies

Honors ‐ 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 credit 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
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
http://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

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 121

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.

Beginning in Fall 2009 a limited number of Barrett students will participate in an
honors exchange program in Singapore through a partnership with the University
Scholars Programme at the National University of Singapore.
Internships, Mentorships and 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 and 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. In 2008 the
Centennial Lecturer was Leonard Downie, Jr., former executive director of the
Washington Post.
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 Silvia Ann Hewlett, followed by
long‐time CNN anchor and journalist Aaron Brown in 2007, author Eric Schlosser in
2008 and Newsweek senior editor Jonathan Alter in 2009.

Additional Benefits
Barrett, The Honors College at Arizona State University is the site of the nation’s
first purposely‐designed four‐year residential honors college campus. The new
Barrett campus stands alone among honors colleges for its size and
comprehensiveness of services. The honors campus offers housing to 1,700 students
and features its own dining center, classrooms, café, faculty and administrative
offices and activity space. Amenities include a fitness center, computer lounge and
lab, amphitheater, classrooms, outside activity courts and dining hall with covered
terrace, garden and special dining rooms for events. The campus also features a
student‐driven sustainable living and learning community with low consumption
plumbing fixtures, enhanced energy monitoring, a green roof and organic garden.
Barrett and all its facilities and services are fully available to every honors 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.
Barrett students have diverse interests and strong records of success. Many are
accepted into the nation’s finest graduate and professional programs, including at
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.

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 123

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
http://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 credit hours of honors course work):
1. HON 171 and 272/273 The Human Event must be completed by the time a
student has earned 45 credit hours at ASU. Students are placed on inactive status
if this requirement is not met.
2. Thirty additional credit hours of honors course work must be earned with a
letter grade of “C” (2.00) 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.
3. Included in the 30 credit hours of honors course work are 18 hours of upper‐
division or graduate‐level honors credits for an earned letter grade of “C” (2.00)
or higher, including six credit hours of honors course work outside the academic
major. Students should investigate specialized honors upper‐division tracks
within their majors.
4. 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.
5. Students are required to complete an honors thesis/creative project for at least
three credit hours though students are encouraged to complete six thesis credit
hours. The thesis credit 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.
6. ASU graduation requirements in an academic major must be met.
7. 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

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 124

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 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 carrying footnote number 19 in the Online ASU
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 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,

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 125

when taken by students with 45 or fewer credit 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
1. Complete all honors course requirements.
2. Complete all required credit 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.
3. Complete ASU graduation requirements in an academic major.
4. 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
College of 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 the College of Law. 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

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 127

prospect for future acceptable academic performance. Continuation in school
thereafter may be conditional on achieving a level of performance higher than the
overall 73.00 GPA.
The College of Law Statement of Student Policies contains additional academic and
related policies. The Statement of Student Policies can be found on the College of
Law Web site at http://law.asu.edu [1].
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 for currently enrolled law students is available through the
office of the assistant dean for academic affairs.

School of Letters and Sciences Policies
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 course work 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 SUCCESS AND INTEGRITY
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.
All students are 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 academic advisors before registration.
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. The ASU academic catalog
is the governing source for all degree requirements.
Credit Requirement
All candidates for graduation are required to complete at least 120 credit hours, of
which at least 45 hours must consist of upper‐division courses (courses numbered
300 or higher). A minimum ASU cumulative GPA of 2.00 is required for graduation.
Academic Integrity
Academic honesty is expected of all students in all examinations, papers, academic
transactions and records. Possible sanctions include, but are not limited to,
appropriate grade penalties, loss of registration privileges, disqualification and
dismissal. The School of Letters and Sciences adheres strictly to the Student Code of

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 129

Conduct regarding academic dishonesty. A copy of the Student Code of Conduct may
be obtained from your academic advisor, or online at
http://www.asu.edu/studentaffairs/studentlife/srr/index.htm [1].
Degree and Majors
The School of Letters and Sciences offers the Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies
(B.I.S.) with majors in interdisciplinary studies and organizational studies. The B.I.S.
program is a university‐wide degree program that enables students to create
interdisciplinary specialties that prepare them for careers in a world that
increasingly bridges academic disciplines. Freshmen may not declare a B.I.S. for
either major, but sophomores, juniors and seniors who are in good standing can
declare either by meeting with an academic advisor.
Interdisciplinary studies is an approach to answering questions, solving problems
and addressing contemporary social issues from multiple perspectives.
Interdisciplinary students develop the intellectual tools needed to build bridges
between academic disciplines and apply their skills, innovations and knowledge in
various academic and practical settings. Interdisciplinary studies students select
two subject‐area concentrations that represent academic interests they wish to
integrate into a meaningful program. A four‐course core offers students intellectual
tools to identify connections between their concentrations and engage in
interdisciplinary problem solving.
Organizational studies is intended for students seeking an interdisciplinary degree
and a desire to learn about the dynamics of contemporary organizations. Via the
organizational studies curriculum, students gain valuable knowledge of
management styles, communication strategies, technologies, diversity, ethics and
politics. All course work for organizational studies is offered online, giving students
freedom and flexibility in completing their requirements. By engaging a breadth of
knowledge and experience, and by acquiring the skills to integrate various domains
of knowledge, organizational studies students prepare themselves for careers in
business, government, nonprofit agencies, healthcare administration or the service
industry. Many organizational studies students already have a chosen career field,
yet desire a degree that is versatile, flexible, meaningful and affords the opportunity
for continued career development and advancement. Organizational studies is
offered in partnership with ASU Online and Extended Campus, giving students the
flexibility to complete a B.I.S. from just about anywhere.
Advising
Successful completion of any degree requires planning, preparation and persistence.
While final responsibility for becoming familiar with and understanding academic
degree requirements lies with the student, the School of Letters and Sciences
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

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 130

university’s and the school’s sources of academic support. Students should consult
with an advisor prior to registering each semester.
Mandatory Advising
The following students in the School of Letters and Sciences must receive advising
and must be cleared before registering for classes:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Students in their first semester at ASU.
Students on probation.
Students with a cumulative GPA of less than 2.00.
Students who have been readmitted to ASU.
Students who have been disqualified (these students are allowed to attend ASU
summer and winter sessions only and must be advised prior to registration).

Students are encouraged to check their mandatory advising status each semester
before attempting any registration transactions.
Transfer Credit Evaluation
Courses taken at other institutions are deemed transferable according to ASU policy.
The applicability of transfer courses is determined in consultation with the student’s
academic advisor. In some instances, students will be directed to other departments
for the evaluation of certain course work (e.g. first‐year composition, math, etc.).
Transfer course work must be equivalent in both content and level of offering.
Course descriptions and/or syllabi may be required to determine course
applicability.
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 http://articulation.asu.edu/ [2].
Academic Standards and Retention
Academic Good Standing
For purposes of retention, academic good standing for all students in the School of
Letters is defined as follows:
Total Hours Earned

Minimum Cumulative GPA

24 or fewer

1.60

25–55

1.75

56 or more

2.00

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 131

Probation
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 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 will be disqualified. A student’s probation status is
only reviewed after spring and fall semesters.

Continuing Probation
A student earns continuing probation when their semester GPA exceeds the
requirement for good standing, but their cumulative GPA falls short of the required
GPA. Students can earn continuing probation for multiple semesters; however,
students on continuing probation with a semester GPA below the requirements for
good standing will be disqualified.
Disqualification
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 on probation becomes disqualified if
the student (a) has not returned to good standing, or (b) has not met the required
semester GPA. Disqualification becomes effective on the first day of the fall or spring
semester following college action. A student who is disqualified may not attend as a
nondegree student. If the student has already registered for a future fall or spring
semester, the registration is canceled. A student who has been disqualified may
apply for reinstatement through the school.
Reinstatement
Reinstatement to the School of Letters and Sciences is only granted for students that
either (a) raise their ASU cumulative GPA to good academic standing (see table
below) by taking ASU summer or winter classes, or (b) complete 12 or more
transferable credits at another college or university with a GPA of 2.5 or higher and
no grades lower than “C” (2.00). All students requesting reinstatement must also
meet with an advisor in the School of Letters and Sciences to discuss their
situations, identify their options and develop a plan for success. Requests for
reinstatements must be made at least five business days before the first day of the
semester.
Readmission
Undergraduates who have been away from the university for one or more semesters
and want to return to ASU in the School of Letters and Sciences are required to
apply for readmission through the University Registrar’s Office. Students that have
been granted a leave of absence are not required to request readmission provided
they have met the terms outlined in their leave of absence request. Students who left
ASU on probation or because they were disqualified must first request

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 132

reinstatement. Once readmitted, returning students are required to meet with a
program advisor before enrolling in courses at ASU.
Concurrent Degrees
Students who wish to obtain concurrent degrees must request approval from the
School of Letters and Sciences and the college offering the second degree. Students
cannot use their major in one degree as one of their concentrations in a B.I.S.
Students who wish to obtain concurrent degrees may not double‐count courses
from one major to the next, and must have at least 30 different credit hours in each
major.
Appeals Procedures
Academic appeals and requests for variances or exceptions should be discussed first
with the student’s advisor and then, if necessary, submitted in writing to the School
of Letters and Sciences standards committee. All requests reviewed by the School of
Letters and Sciences standards committee for exceptions to university requirements
are also reviewed by the University Standards Committee.
Registration
Students are required to register for courses using one of the university‐provided
processes. 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.
Maximum Hours
Students enrolled in an undergraduate degree program in the School of Letters and
Sciences may register for a maximum of 18 credit hours for fall or spring semesters,
14 credit hours for summer and three credit hours for winter. Any student wanting
to register for more than the maximum must submit a School of Letters and Sciences
standards petition and have an approval on file prior to registering for the overload.
Course Prerequisites
Students should consult the schedule of classes and the catalog for course
prerequisites. Students may be given overrides to facilitate registration while
certain prerequisites are in progress; however, all students must ensure that all
prerequisites have been completed prior to beginning their classes. Students who
register for courses and don't meet designated prerequisites may be withdrawn
without the student's consent at any time before the final examination.
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 ASU in another
college or at another institution must submit a petition to the School of Letters and
Sciences standards committee.

Incompletes
Students are responsible for contacting the instructor regarding the process of
requesting and fulfilling an incomplete. Incompletes are only given under
extraordinary circumstances where the student has completed a majority of their
course work, but circumstances beyond the students control are preventing them
from completing their course work in that semester. Tardiness in contacting the
instructor may result in a failing grade.
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.

Advising Locations
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences students should seek routine advising in the
department or school of their major.
The Office of Student and Academic Programs, in FULTN 110, is the central resource
center for academic information in the college. Requests from students,
departmental advisors and faculty for clarification of rules, procedures and advising
needs of the college and university should be directed to that office.
Advising Holds
The following categories of liberal arts and sciences students must receive advising
and must be cleared before their classes are scheduled:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

Students in their first semester at ASU.
Students on academic probation.
Students with a cumulative GPA of less than 2.00.
Students in their first three semesters (in selected departments).
Students who have been disqualified (these students are allowed to
attend ASU summer and winter sessions only and must be advised in the
Office of Student and Academic Programs in FULTN 110).
Students who have surpassed their 65th earned hour.
Students who are "off‐track" in their major.

Students in the above categories should consult an advisor in the department or
school of their major. Students are encouraged to see if they have an advising hold
each semester before attempting registration transactions.
Advising for Preprofessional Programs
Special advising is available for students planning to enter the fields listed in the
Advising for Preprofessional Programs table. The professional programs shown in
the table are not majors in themselves; that is, there are no majors called
“premedical,” “prelaw,” etc. In each program, the student must select an established
major in the college or in one of the other colleges.

Health Professions
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
post‐baccalaureate 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. To schedule a meeting with the prelaw advisor located in FULTN 110, call
480‐965‐6506.
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 by seeking information in their
academic departments.
College Graduation Requirements

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 136

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 Bachelor of Arts 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 may be fulfilled in one of the :
•

General Electives
Most Liberal Arts and Sciences majors can meet all of the above requirements with
fewer than the 120 credit hours required for graduation. Remaining hours are
general electives that may be selected from any of the departments of the College of
Liberal Arts and Sciences and from the offerings of the other colleges.
Credit Requirement
All candidates for graduation in the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degree
curricula are required to complete at least 120 credit 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 credit hours in each major.
Course Load
The normal course load is 15 to 16 credit hours. First‐semester freshmen and
entering transfer students are not permitted to register for more than 18 credit
hours in the initial semester. Other students who wish to register for more than 18
hours must have a GPA of at least 3.40 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

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 139

their specialization. A grade of “P” (pass) contributes to the student’s earned hours
but does not affect the GPA. A failing grade is computed into the GPA.
Only College of Liberal Arts and Sciences students with at least 60 credit hours may
take courses under the pass/fail option. The option may be used under the following
conditions:
•
•
•

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.
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:
•
•
•
•
•
•

Those taken to satisfy the second language or first‐year composition
requirements.
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.
Those counted toward satisfying the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
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 academic 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 the
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is suspended for at least two regular semesters
at the university. When students are placed on probation, one of three things can
happen:
•
•

The student may raise his or her cumulative GPA to academic good
standing by taking new classes and be removed from academic 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 academic probation, earning the required semester GPA,

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 140

•

for as many semesters as it takes to raise the cumulative GPA to academic
good standing.
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 academic
probation are not automatically readmitted. Such students, and all disqualified
students, should contact the Office of Student and Academic Programs in FULTN
110, regarding procedures and guidance for reinstatement and returning to
academic 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 Student and Academic 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.

Degree Requirements

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 141

All candidates for graduation in the B.A. and B.S. curricula are required to present at
least 120 credit hours, of which at least 45 credit hours must consist of upper‐
division courses. A minimum cumulative GPA of 2.00 is required for graduation.
It is the students’ responsibility to be aware of the requirements for their degree
program(s) and to select courses accordingly.
To graduate, a student must satisfy separate requirements of three kinds:
1. College proficiency requirements for language and cultures and mathematics.
2. University first‐year composition and General Studies requirements.
3. 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.
Language and Cultures
This requirement may be satisfied through one of the following:
1. Completion of secondary education at a school in which the language of
instruction is not English.
2. Completion of a language course at the intermediate level (202 or equivalent),
including American Sign Language IV.
3. Completion of upper‐division course(s) taught in a foreign language, taken in the
United States or the relevant country.
4. Completion of six credit 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.
5. 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

and prerequisites. No more than 63 credit hours of course work may be required to
complete the major, related courses and prerequisites. A minimum of 12 upper‐
division credit 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 credit hours required for graduation are general electives. Contact
college advisors for assistance in selecting elective courses.

College of Nursing and Health Innovation Policies
Undergraduate Policies
Admission
Preprofessional Admission
Students are admitted into the College of Nursing and Health 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
program requires a separate application to the College of Nursing and Health
Innovation and is competitive, with the greatest emphasis placed on GPA 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 and Health 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 B.S.N. Students completing course work at a
community college or university other than ASU should consult a College of Nursing
and Health 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

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 143

a College of Nursing and Health 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 and Health Innovation academic advisor and are required
to attend an application workshop. Contact the student services office in the College
of Nursing and Health 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 and Health Innovation at the
Downtown campus as a pre‐major nursing student.
2. Academic good standing at ASU and in the College of Nursing and Health
Innovation.
3. Minimum prerequisite GPA of 2.75.
4. Completion of designated prerequisite courses with an earned grade of “C”

Academic Advising
Academic advising, provided by the College of Nursing and Health Innovation
through the student services office, is an essential aspect of the education
experience; see academic advising. While the College of Nursing and Health
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 and Health Innovation student services office,
call 602‐496‐0888. 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 prelicensed professional program is composed of
16 credit hours. Seven to eight of these credit hours reflect three days in clinical
laboratory practicum experience. The remaining eight to nine credit 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
Students are admitted into the College of Nursing and Health 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

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 148

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 and Health 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 and Health Innovation policies and procedures.
Graduate Policies
Academic Advising
Students are advised by the student services office before admission to the M.S.
program. Upon admission, each student is assigned a faculty advisor within the area
of concentration.

College of Public Programs Policies
Undergraduate Policies
Interdisciplinary Public Service Requirement
The College of Public Programs has a college level graduation requirement for all
undergraduate students majoring within the college. This degree requirement is
called the Interdisciplinary Public Service requirement. Each student must complete
a total of 13 hours of public programs course work. These 13 hours will consist of
one course from each of the four schools within the College of Public Programs and
ASU 101. Students may choose a core course from their major and three courses
from the approved course list for this requirement in addition to completing ASU
101. ASU 101 must be completed in the first year at ASU; the other courses can be
taken while completing the degree. The approved course list is available through
your major advisor. All 13 hours must be completed in order for a undergraduate

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 149

student to graduate from the College of Public Programs. Questions about this
requirement should be directed to your academic advisor for your major.
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.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.

Students with admissions competency deficiencies.
All freshmen.
Transfer students in their first semester at ASU.
Readmitted students.
Students on probation.
Students who have been disqualified.
Students with special admissions status.
All undergraduate students majoring in Social Work.

Course Load
A normal course load per semester is 15 to 16 credit hours. The maximum number
of hours for which a student can register is 18 credit hours unless an overload
petition has been filed and approved by the department/school standards
committee and 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 credit 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

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 150

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. Each major within the College of Public Programs requires a
progessively higher GPA than a 2.00 as a student advances towards their degree.
These requirements are outlined in the student's major map.
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.
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
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 in advance (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

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 152

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 canceled. 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 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 B.A. and B.S. degrees.
1. ASU 101 Requirement:
ASU 101 SOS: The ASU Experience (1)
2. Statistics Requirement:
STP 226 Elements of Statistics, CS (3) or additional statistics course options
as approved by the school
3. Foreign Language Requirement:
Bachelor of Arts Degrees. Students pursuing B.A. degrees in the School of
Sustainability 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 may
be fulfilled by one of the following:
•

•
•

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

Completion of secondary education at a school in which the language
of instruction is not English.

The School of Sustainability also requires a cumulative 2.50 GPA in all major courses
in order to graduate with a B.A. or B.S. in sustainability.
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 pursue
both a B.A. or B.S. in sustainability as well as a B.A. in business with a concentration
in sustainability.

growth.

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 154

Students are evaluated throughout the Professional Teacher Preparation Program.
Students in the program will be formally reviewed regarding their academic
progress and professional attributes in order to determine retention/continuation
status. A student with a record that contains indicators of professional or academic
concerns will be placed on probation, suspension, disqualification or permanently
removed from the program.
Students enrolled in undergraduate education programs are expected to maintain
academic standards. 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

Communication/knowledge level.
Interpersonal relations.
Professionalism.
Attitudes.

If there are concerns regarding a student’s professional attributes, the student will
be placed on probation, suspended, disqualified or permanently removed from the
program. Unless the student has been permanently removed from the program, they
must participate in the development of a professional improvement plan, which
establishes the requirements for continuation in the program. The professional
improvement plan lists areas of concern and action steps necessary to improve the
targeted behaviors.
Students placed on a plan of improvement, 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 a plan of improvement, 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 even if the student meets minimum academic performance as measured
by GPA.
Students who wish to appeal decisions of the College of Teacher Education and

College of Technology and Innovation Policies
Undergraduate Policies
ADVISING
New incoming and transfer students should seek advising from an academic advisor
in the dean’s office. The college requires that students consult with advisors before
registering each semester. Advisors 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
credit 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:
•
•

A semester with a GPA less than 2.00.
An ASU cumulative GPA less than 2.00.

A student on probation is subject to disqualification if:
•
•

A semester GPA of 2.00 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 cumulative GPA stated in number one.

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 157

Students on academic probation are not allowed to register for more than 13 credit
hours. Probationary students may not register for the semester following the
semester in which they were declared probationary without advising. Advising
clearance will be 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 credit hours is required for the degree
program. Of these, a minimum of 15 credit 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
M.S.Tech., with an interdisciplinary area of concentration, may have up to but not
more than 15 hours of course 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 credit 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 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.
Exploratory health and life sciences.
Exploratory humanities and fine arts.
Exploratory math, physical sciences, engineering and technology.

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 credit 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. All exploratory
students are required to enroll in a university major and career exploration class
each semester.
Major maps for each of these exploratory tracks are available at
https://webapp.asu.edu/eadvisor/MajorMaps.html [1].
Academic Integrity
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. University College adheres strictly to the Student Code of Conduct
regarding academic dishonesty. A copy of the Student Code of Conduct may be
obtained from your academic advisor, or online at

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 as follows:
Total Hours Earned

Minimum Cumulative GPA

24 or fewer
25–55
56 or more

1.60
1.75
2.00

A student who does not maintain the minimum GPA 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
credit hours. Students who have not declared a major by the time they have
completed 45 credit hours are placed on hold, which prevents registration for future
ASU semesters, until the student has declared a major.

previously awarded at ASU or another institution toward their current ASU doctoral
degree. However, at the individual academic unit's discretion, students may apply
up to 30 credit 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

Program Description: The Morrison School of Management and Agribusiness at the
Polytechnic campus, offers the M.S. in agribusiness. In general, this degree is
designed to prepare students from a variety of backgrounds with a set of critical and
analytical business skills, while recognizing the unique demands of the agribusiness
and resource management sectors. Graduates are well prepared for successful
administrative or managerial careers with either government or private‐sector
organizations in either field.
Students are able to select either a research‐oriented program, which leads to the
completion of a supervised thesis, or a program consisting of course work only
(nonthesis option). The nonthesis option allows students to 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 also apply to
the concentrations in 1) agribusiness management and marketing, and 2) food
quality assurance.
Program Requirement: All M.S. 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 credit 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.

degree program at ASU. There are two programs of study available:
•
•

A two‐year program for applicants who have completed the four‐year B.S.D.
in architectural studies at ASU or an equivalent degree from another school
that offers an accredited professional degree in architecture.
A three‐plus‐year program for applicants with an undergraduate degree in a
discipline or field other than architecture.

Both programs promote broad areas of knowledge, professional skill and a social
awareness that the architect must command if architecture is to enhance
contemporary life and remain an enduring and valid expression of society.

Theatre: Performance America (PhD) FAPERAMPHD
Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts
Official Degree Awarded: PHD Theatre (Theatre/Performance Americas)
Program Description: The Ph.D. 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:
1. 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.
2. 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
course work and practical experience.
Program Requirement: A total of 90 credit 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:

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 272

Because applied linguistics is interdisciplinary in nature, applicants may differ from
one another with regard to their prior experience and preparation. For instance,
while some applicants may have substantial prior training in core theoretical
linguistics (foundations), others may have considerable preparation in an area
related to a supported concentration. A student’s academic advisor, in consultation
with the program director and program oversight committee, may address potential
redundancies in a student’s program requirements with prior academic preparation
by: (1) allocating a maximum of 30 credit hours from an awarded and approved
graduate degree toward the applied linguistics program requirements, and/or (2)
permitting the student to take additional elective courses in lieu of introductory
courses covered in an undergraduate program.
A. Foundations, 21 credit hours
1. Overview of the field: a three‐credit course providing a survey of the field of
applied linguistics.
2. Linguistics: 15 credits of required coursework in theoretical linguistics and
one approved linguistics elective. B. Teaching Internship, 2 credit hours
C. Colloquia, 4 credit hours
A four‐semester sequence of 1‐credit colloquium meetings for students in the first
two years. All students and program faculty are encouraged to attend.
D. Research Methods, 6 credit hours
Six credits of approved research methods courses selected in consultation with the
advisor.
E. Concentration/Research, 33 credit hours
Students select three to nine credits of required course work, depending upon the
concentration area, plus additional approved electives for a total of 48 credits of
concentration/research course work. Five concentration areas are supported:

•

Bilingualism.
Educational Linguistics.
English as an International Language (EIL).
Indigenous Language Education.
Language Planning and Policy (LPP). F. Breadth, 6 credit hours
Six credits of course work in a secondary concentration area.

G. Dissertation, 12 credit hours
Students in the applied linguistics doctoral program are additionally required to
demonstrate proficiency in a second language equivalent to two years of study. A
language appropriate to the student’s area of interest is selected in consultation
with the advisor. The language requirement must be satisfied, by examination or
course work, prior to advancement to candidacy. Computer or other nonhuman

languages may not be used to satisfy this requirement. Students for whom English is
a second language may use their first language to satisfy the requirement by
examination. Course credit used to satisfy the language requirement can not be used
to satisfy other program requirements, and cannot be counted toward the total
required 84 credits.
Admission Requirements: Students must have completed a bachelor’s degree from a
regionally accredited institution or university of recognized standing prior to
admission into the program. Because applied linguistics is an interdisciplinary field,
applicants with prior academic preparation in any field are welcome.
Applicants must submit an official ASU graduate application, official GRE scores and
transcripts of all undergraduate and graduate coursework, a statement of interest
outlining career and research goals, three letters of recommendation addressing
their academic promise for the program, and other materials requested as part of

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 348

following categories:
Chemical Engineering Core Requirements: Students are required to take 15
credit hours of graduate‐level chemical engineering courses, exclusive of seminar
(CHE 591), deficiency courses (CHE 501‐505), Research/Thesis (CHE 592/599) and
Reading and Conference (CHE 590).
Of these 15 hours, a minimum of three courses (nine hours) must come from the
following list:
CHE 527 Advanced Applied Mathematical Analysis in Chemical Engineering
(3)
CHE 533 Transport Processes I (3)
CHE 543 Thermodynamics of Chemical Systems (3)
CHE 544 Chemical Reactor Engineering (3)
CHE 598 Research Methods (3)
Technical Electives: Masters candidates must select a minimum of nine hours of
graduate‐level elective courses (beyond the required 15 hours of CHE core
requirements) if they take only six hours of thesis. Six hours of technical electives
are required if the student elects to take nine hours of combined thesis/research
(which includes six hours of thesis and three hours of research). At least one
technical elective course (three hours) must be taken from outside of chemical
engineering.
400‐level courses in programs outside of chemical engineering are considered
appropriate technical electives unless the course content significantly matches that
of 300‐level or lower courses in engineering. For instance, STP 420 does not qualify
as a valid technical elective because it is similar to ECE 383. Any questions on course
validity for the technical elective requirement should be addressed to the student's
committee chair and/or the graduate coordinator.
CHE 590 Reading and Conference may be taken as a technical elective only once, for
a maximum of three credits.
Research/Thesis: Each student must register for a combined total of either six or
nine credit hours of research (CHE 592) and/or thesis (CHE 599). This total must
include six credit hours of thesis.
Seminar: All full‐time chemical engineering graduate students are required to
successfully complete the seminar course (CHE 591) during every semester of
residence. Part‐time students are required to complete CHE 591 at least three times.
Only three hours of seminar apply toward the M.S., regardless of how many times it
is taken.

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

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 401

Program Requirement: The Ph.D. in HSD is a research degree, culminating in a
dissertation, which must draw on multiple disciplinary perspectives.
The degree requires completion of 84 credit 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.

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 402

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.
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 shows that the student can integrate and synthesize the knowledge and
skills developed through course work and apply it to the development of a research
project. The student makes an oral defense of the dissertation prospectus to his or
her supervisory committee, which must approve the prospectus. The writing
prospectus and its oral defense constitute the written and oral comprehensive
examinations required by the Graduate College for advancement to candidacy.
Students normally complete the dissertation prospectus and its defense in the fifth
semester.
Dissertation
The Ph.D. dissertation represents an original body of research that contributes to
existing knowledge in a significant way.
Final Examination
Upon completing the dissertation, the student makes an oral defense of the
dissertation to his or her supervisory committee, which must approve the
dissertation. The Ph.D. is granted upon successful completion of the oral defense
and any revisions to the dissertation required by committee members.
Admission Requirements: Preference is given to students with demonstrated interest
and competence in relevant areas of intellectual work. All students must hold an
undergraduate degree from a regionally accredited institution or university of
recognized standing when they enter, and have a minimum GPA of 3.00 (on a 4.00
scale) for the last 60 credit hours of undergraduate work.
To apply to the program, applicants are required to submit:

Neuroscience (PHD) GCBMENPHD
Graduate College
Official Degree Awarded: PHD Neuroscience
Program Description: Neuroscience involves the study of the nervous system and its
relation to an organism’s function. It encompasses how gene and nerve networks
interact with the environment throughout an organism’s development to account
for behavior. The study of neuroscience is essential for the understanding of many
brain and neuromuscular diseases, their treatment and rehabilitation and must
incorporate studies at multiple levels of function, including studies at the cellular,
organ and organism level. Therefore, this program will bring together broadly
distributed research programs in the analysis of nervous system function from
many disciplines including biology, mathematics, biochemistry, engineering and
psychology. As such, the field of neuroscience is broadly interdisciplinary and is not
adequately captured by any single existing academic program. In fact, most research
programs are not carried out by a single investigator. Instead research emphasizes
teamwork by integrating researchers from several disciplines.
The Ph.D. in neuroscience degree program will also have tremendous social
relevance. Many ASU researchers have funding from federal, state and private
sources to perform basic research on the relation between the brain, neuromuscular
function and behavior. Another major focus of federally funded and industry
sponsored neuroscience research lies in understanding the bases for, and ultimately
treatment of, many important livestock and human disease conditions. Many times

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 404

this type of clinical research involves working directly with patient populations to
develop treatment methodologies. Translational research provides a bridge
between basic and clinical research program. It therefore drives development of
novel technologies of the near future from advances in basic research today. By
enhancing communication between different communities of researchers, the Ph.D.
in neuroscience degree program will build those bridges.
Because of the highly interdisciplinary nature of neuroscience research, there will
be two primary missions of the graduate training program. First, students will need
to receive detailed training in a core discipline that will represent their primary field
of expertise. Second, students will receive training in methods for conduction of
interdisciplinary, collaborative research. At the completion of this program students
will be able to undertake independent research and seek employment in a variety of
public and private settings.
Program Requirement: The Ph.D. in neuroscience degree program will integrate
aspects of graduate level training from many different units on campus as well as
from the program’s partner institutions distributed across the greater Phoenix area.
Partner institutions will include, but are not be limited to The Barrow Neurological
Institute (BNI), Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen) and The Mayo
Clinic and Sun Health.
The program requires the completion of 84 credit hours of which 12 hours, and only
12, are dissertation credits. At least 18 credits of formal course work are required.
In consultation with their committee and their supervisor/mentor, students will be
able to customize their program of study to suit their particular interests and goals.
Each student completes six credit hours of the core course credits. The core course
sequence must be completed before the oral and written evaluation examinations
are taken. Additional credits will be comprised of specialized disciplinary courses or
research credits chosen in consultation with their mentor and advisory committee.
A one‐credit‐hour seminar will be required each semester.
Advancement to candidacy will be dependent on successfully passing a formal
comprehensive examination that includes both a written proposal of the
dissertation research and an oral examination in the broader areas that pertain to
that research study. When the research is completed, the dissertation must be
written and presented in a public seminar and successfully defended before the
supervisory committee.
Admission Requirements: The graduate committee will be responsible for decisions
concerning potential recruitment of students and admission recommendation of
students to the program. They will also be highly active in the recruitment
procedure each year.

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 Requirement: Completion of the degree requires 30 credit hours of
approved credit, none of which may be from the prerequisites. The program must
include the nine credit hours from three required theory courses:
•
•
•

Probability (STP 421).
Mathematical statistics (STP 427).
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, ECN 525 or STP 530).
Applied analysis of variance/design of experiments (IEE 572, ECN 530 or STP
531).

The program must also include either three credit hours of applied project (IEE 593,
ECN 593 or STP 593) or six credit hours of thesis (IEE 599, ECN 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 credit hours come from elective courses chosen by the
student with the approval of supervising faculty. A maximum of six credit 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. Possible
areas of specialty include, among others:
•

Applied data analysis.

Applicants who lack any of these prerequisite courses must complete the
prerequisites before being considered for admission. The submission of GRE 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.

Law ‐ Biotechnology & Genomics (LLM) LWGENOMLLM
Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law
Official Degree Awarded: LL.M. Biotechnology and Genomics
Program Description: The LL.M. 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, LL.M. candidates (those who have
received their J.D. 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.
LL.M. 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

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 413

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 Requirement: 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 credit hours of course work to obtain the LL.M. in biotechnology

six credit hours, or can instead elect to not write a thesis and fulfill the equivalent
credits with other course work. Two courses are required:
Genetics and the Law and Biotechnology
Science, Policy and Law
The remaining credit hours will generally be obtained from the list of elective
courses. With faculty advisor approval, a candidate may satisfy up to six credit hours
with courses offered by other ASU departments or by law courses that are not
included on the approved elective list.
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.
Applicants to the program must submit:
1. Proof of a law degree; either a J.D. from an ABA‐accredited law school in the
United States or a comparable law degree from a foreign law school
approved by either the government or the relevant accrediting authority of
the nation where the school is located.

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 415

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 M.L.S. will not qualify
as law school credit.
Program Requirement: The program consists of 30 credit 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. M.L.S. students are
required to choose at least two of the following basic first‐year law courses:
•
•
•
•
•

Contract.
Constitutional Law.
Criminal Law.
Property.
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 credit hours. The remainder of the credits
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 regionally 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 the
applicant, 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 the applicant, that provides an indication of your writing ability.
Application Process
To apply for the M.L.S. program you must provide:
1. Proof of a four‐year degree from either an accredited college or university in
the United States or a comparable degree from a foreign institution approved
by either the government or the relevant accrediting authority of the nation
where the school is located.

Law ‐ Tribal Policy, Law, and Government (LLM) LWTBLMLAWS
Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law
Official Degree Awarded: LL.M. Tribal Policy, Law and Government
Program Description: The LL.M. 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. The Sandra Day
O'Connor College of Law is a leading institution in producing graduates specializing
in Indian law.
The LL.M. 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 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 Requirement: 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 LL.M. Practicum Track
The LL.M. 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 credit hours of study. 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

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 419

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 LL.M. Thesis Track
The LL.M. 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 credit
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, LL.M. students may have an
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 LL.M. program in tribal policy, law and government must
possess either a J.D. 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 in
which 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 LL.M. 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 J.D. from an ABA‐accredited law school in the
United States or 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.

Official Degree Awarded: DBH Behavioral Health
Program Description: The D.B.H. is a new degree to prepare behavioral clinicians to
work within an interdisciplinary primary care team. The D.B.H. is an upgrade for
master's‐level clinicians who are interested in working at a doctoral level in primary
care. Primary care patients can have untreated behavioral conditions that can result
in poor clinical outcomes and increased medical costs related to overuse of medical
services. Behavioral interventions in primary care have demonstrated improved
clinical outcomes and decreased medical costs. A key recommendation in health
care reform is improved integration of medical and behavioral care. Traditional
doctoral training does not prepare clinicians with the interdisciplinary knowledge
required in integrated care. Programs continue to graduate clinicians into private
practice settings not aligned with medical providers. The D.B.H. program reflects a
paradigm shift to a curriculum based on:
1. Evidence‐based behavioral interventions for primary care.
2. Medical literacy in order to understand and consult with the medical team.
3. Healthcare economics and policy in order to respond to emerging healthcare
reform.
4. Business skills such as writing a business plan, marketing and return on
investment.
The D.B.H. curriculum is unique in that it:
1. Is a cohort‐based, accelerated program that enables students already holding
a clinical master's degree to complete the D.B.H. in 18 months.
2. Replaces the dissertation with a culminating clinically focused project.
3. Incorporates practicum experience in primary care settings.
4. Integrates clinical and professional affiliated faculty as well as faculty
associates who are experts and are directly employed in healthcare
environments in the area that they are teaching.
The D.B.H. program is also unique in offering the program in a hybrid‐online format.
Approximately one‐third of the curriculum in each course is delivered in a
traditional classroom setting, and two‐thirds is completed in a Web‐based format.
Several different modalities are used to enhance the student's learning, including
multimedia presentations, asynchronous discussion boards and live chats. Travel to
campus is required for up to a week for orientation at the beginning of your
program, and after orientation only two to three times per semester (two‐ to three‐
day sessions), depending on the courses being taught; students will encounter
concentrated, interactive case‐based seminar experiences. International students
are notified that ASU can not provide paperwork for student visas per federal law if
they are admitted to the program.
Focused clinical practicum experiences are arranged with preceptors and
administrators in the student's local healthcare setting. Rural health and
experiences with disadvantaged and multicultural populations are encouraged.

Graduates of the D.B.H. program will contribute to a societal transformation by
leading to improved access to behavioral care, integration of a behavioral provider
on the medical team, improved patient outcome and satisfaction, and decreased cost
of care.
Program Requirement: The 84 credit hours (students may utilize 30 credit hours
from a previously awarded master's degree if applicable) required for this doctoral
program are:
Core course requirements, for a totoal of 33 credit hours
Elective courses, for a total of nine credit hours
Practicum and culminating experience, for a total of 12 credit hours
Previously awarded master's degree or other courses approved by the
supervisory committee, for a total of 30 credit hours
Admission Requirements: All applicants must submit a Graduate College application
and possess a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited postsecondary
institution in the United States or an equivalent degree from a recognized
international postsecondary institution. Normally, applicants will have a minimum
of a 3.00 GPA calculated on the last 60 credit hours of their first bachelor's degree.
All applicants from countries whose native language is not English will be expected
to meet university and degree program English proficiency requirements.

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 424

literacy education, an opportunity to earn a graduate‐level degree in the aesthetics,
history and culture of American media (film, television and the Internet). Arizona
high schools are slowly but continually expanding their offerings in film, television
and media literacy, and teachers need to continue their education and earn
graduate‐level degrees to advance in their profession. We also believe the program
will attract non‐traditional students interested in advancing their knowledge of
moving image culture. The program will be offered through distance learning,
thereby providing students from around the state and globe with a visually
interactive yet flexible learning environment. As such, we believe it will be of
particular interest to international students.
Since this is a distance learning program, international students will not be issued
any non‐immigrant documents since they will not be eligible to obtain a student
visa.

Anthropology (Urbanism) Phd LAURBPHD
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
Official Degree Awarded: PHD Anthropology (Urbanism)
(This program is no longer acception applications.)
Program Description: The past two decades have witnessed a surge of scholarship
and professional interest in urbanism. However, there is a tendency for disciplines
concerned with urbanism to be disconnected from one another. While powerful

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 428

analytical and technical knowledge has been created within each field, the resulting
specialized approaches to the study of urbanism present an impediment to
understanding the nature, function and shaping of the human habitat. The
concentration in urbanism will be a mechanism for organizing varied perspectives
on urbanism into a collective body of scholarship. The study of anthropology will be
enriched by grounding it in a comprehensive understanding of the characteristics of
urban context and the dynamic forces that shape them.
The concentration in urbanism will leverage the varied interests in urbanism and
help emerging scholars as they attempt to compare, contrast and take stock of
urbanism. Working with faculty from across a range of departments and programs
at ASU, doctoral students will be able to capture the creative tensions that
scholarship on urbanism has inspired in order to stimulate a provocative,
constructive kind of inquiry. Academic units students might engage with to fulfill the
requirements of the urbanism concentration include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts.
School of Community Resources and Development.
School of Geographical Sciences and Urban Planning.
School of Government, Politics and Global Studies.
School of Historical, Philosophical and Religious Studies.
School of Human Evolution and Social Change.
School of Sustainability.

Students without a master's degree apply to phase I of the program, where they will
receive a master's‐in‐passing. During this phase, students develop a research skills
portfolio and present one of their papers in a school‐wide research symposium. A

Applied Mathematics for the Life & Social Sciences (PhD) LAAMLPHD

Official Degree Awarded: PHD Applied Mathematics for the Life & Social Sciences
Program Description: The applied mathematics for the life and social sciences
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 crossdisciplinary
research. The program’s faculty includes mathematicians, statisticians, theoretical

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 436

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 (as a lifelong project) to 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 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, the interweaving of theory,
applications, analytical approaches and cross‐disciplinary and international
collaboration.

Program Requirement: The program requires a total of 84 credit hours. Up to 30
credit hours can be counted from a previously awarded master's degree. After a
master's degree, the students must complete a minimum of 30 credit 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
ODEs and PDEs.)
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
additional courses from any ASU unit as possible electives to the executive
committee.
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‐bachelor's
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 degree in an area that provides basic background in a
relevant subject area (e.g., 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 AMLSS program. The major
professor is affirmed no later than the end of the third semester.

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 438

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:
•
•
•

Life sciences—focus on understanding the tools for representing the
structure and operation of complex biological and ecological processes.
Social sciences—focus on understanding the tools for representing the
structure and operation of complex social systems and processes.
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, 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 the following:

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 439

1. Fifteen hours of mathematics and/or statistics.
2. A total of nine hours of life sciences and social sciences course work at the
senior or college graduate level.
3. No fewer than three hours each of life sciences and social sciences course
work. 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:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

An official ASU graduate application.
Official GRE scores.
Transcripts of all undergraduate and graduate course work.
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 course work 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.

Environmental Social Science (PhD) LAESSPHD
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
Official Degree Awarded: PHD Environmental Social Science
Program Description: The Ph.D. in environmental social science (ESS) is one of the
few doctoral programs in the U.S. that draws on the premise that reducing human
impacts and developing more sustainable environmental practices will be difficult, if
not impossible, to achieve without a focus on the social dynamics of environmental
issues using critical social science perspectives.
The 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:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

Archaeology.
Community resources.
Cultural and medical anthropology.
Demography.
Environmental history.
Geographic information systems.
Human and physical geography.
Planning.
Public affairs.
Science and technology studies.
Sociology.

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 Requirement: 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

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 471

technical expertise and six hours of electives. Students may select from a substantial
range of courses to satisfy noncore requirements.
Students entering with an M.A. will be granted up to 30 credit hours toward the 84
hour total required for the Ph.D. Students without an M.A. 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 M.A.‐in‐passing as part of the ESS
graduate program.
In addition to general requirements for admission to the Graduate College, the
environmental social science Ph.D. program requires students to provide:
1.
2.
3.
4.

A statement of their interests and goals as a professional.
Three letters of recommendations.
A sample of their written work.
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
Official Degree Awarded: PHD Psychology
Program Description: The Department of Psychology offers doctoral programs
designed to provide outstanding training in innovative research, methodology and

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 527

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.
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; 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:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

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.
Developmental aspects of emotion and cognition.
Prevention of child mental health problems.
Individual resilience.
Cultural influences on psychological processes.
Women's issues.

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 Requirement: A minimum of 84 credit hours are required, which includes
12 credit hours of dissertation beyond the bachelor's degree.
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.

Program Description: The Ph.D. 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 nonacademic 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.
Computer‐based complexity modeling.
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 to
subtantively improve 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 U.S. cities to hunter‐gatherer
communities. Students generally enter the program with an M.A. in a relevant field.
Program Requirement: The Ph.D. program consists of:
1. Eighty‐four hours of course work post‐B.A.
2. Fifty‐four (30 course work, 24 research and dissertation) hours post‐M.A.
3. A dissertation.
Students are admitted to candidacy on the basis of a written and oral examination.
Students entering the Ph.D. 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 in collaboration with a faculty advisor.

The concentration in urbanism will leverage the varied interests in urbanism and
help emerging scholars as they attempt to compare, contrast and take stock of
urbanism as they pertain to the thematic foci of the program. Working with faculty
from across a range of departments and programs at ASU, doctoral students will be
able to capture the creative tensions that scholarship on urbanism has inspired in
order to stimulate a provocative, constructive kind of inquiry.
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 to
substantively improve the health of populations. The program favors community‐
based research and runs collaborative projects in which students are encouraged to

in a relevant field.
Program Requirement: This program consists of:
1. Eighty‐four hours of course work post‐bachelor's.
2. Fifty‐four (30 course work, 24 research and dissertation) hours post‐
master's.
3. A written comprehensive examination.
4. A dissertation prospectus with defense.
5. A dissertation.
Students are admitted to candidacy on the basis of a written and oral examination.
Students entering the Doctor of Philosophy 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 in collaboration with a faculty advisor. For the
concentration in urbanism, 15 credit hours will be selected from an approved list of
applicable courses related to urbanism. These courses will include the core
urbanism course, GCU 516, as well as one course from each of the four urbanism
clusters. These clusters are:
1.
2.
3.

New College of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences
Communication Studies (MA) ASCOMSTMA
New College of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences
Official Degree Awarded: MA Communication Studies
Program Description: The M.A. in communication studies prepares students for
communication‐intensive roles in such fields as:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

Community relations.
Employee communication.
Grass‐roots advocacy.
Health communication.
Media campaigns.
Political communication.
Public affairs.
Technology‐mediated communication systems.

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 551

A substantive number of graduates pursue the Ph.D. and careers in teaching and
research.
Within the M.A. 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 M.A. in communication
studies seeks to provide those interested in advocacy the opportunity to develop the
intellectual and conceptual skills necessary to follow that calling.
Program Requirement: The degree consists of 36 credit hours of course work at the
500‐level or above, including these courses:
W CMN 502 Theory and Practice in Communication and Persuasion (3) or W
CMN 522 Argumentation and Advocacy (3)
W CMN 505 Methods in Applied Communication Research (3)
W CMN 506 Humanistic Inquiry and Field Research in Communication (3)
Electives* (21)
Thesis or applied project (6) or written comprehensive examination plus six
credit hours of course work (6)
* At least 21 credit hours of electives are selected in consultation with the student's
program advisor. When appropriate, students may take up to six credit hours
outside the department.
Additional Requirements
COM 502 or 522, 505, and 506 must be completed with a grade of “B” (3.00) or
higher. In addition, the student must earn a cumulative GPA of 3.00 or higher in all
courses numbered 500 or above that appear on the transcript and all courses that
appear on the program of study.

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 552

to take comprehensive examinations only concurrent with, or subsequent to,
completion of their 36th credit hour of course work. Students who choose to
complete the thesis or applied project option are permitted to register for thesis or
applied project credit hours only concurrent with, or subsequent to, completion of
their 24th credit hour of course work.

Physical Activity, Nutrition, and Wellness (PhD) ECNUTRIPHD
College of Nursing & Health Innovation
Official Degree Awarded: PHD Physical Activity, Nutrition and Wellness
Program Description: The faculty mentors of the Physical Activity, Nutrition, and
Wellness Program offers an interdisciplinary graduate program leading to the
doctoral degree in physical activity, nutrition and wellness. The doctoral degree in
physical activity, nutrition and wellness 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 health promotion and nutrition. The program focuses on
issues that contribute to health through the reduction of disease risk, the promotion
of quality of life and the enhancement of well‐being. While many healthy lifestyles
are studied, the emphasis is on physically active living and sound nutrition.
The 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 program requires residency and

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 581

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 Requirement: This program requires a total of 97 credit hours of course
work, written and oral progression and comprehensive examinations and a
dissertation. The plan of study in the program consists of a minimum of 67 credit
hours over the master's degree distributed across five areas of study:
Research core (26)
Cognate area courses (12)
Professional development (5)
Concentration area courses (12)
Dissertation (12)
Cognate courses have two tracks with three courses (nine hours) per track: health
promotion and nutrition. Students may take courses in both tracks (i.e., six hours
per track) or all courses in a single track (nine hours) plus at least one class (three
hours) in the opposite track.
The concentration courses allow students to focus on an interest area (e.g., aging,
stress reduction, diabetes, strength, worksite health promotion, public health,
bioenergetics, weight management, etc.) within the program. The content area is
selected by the student in consultation with his or her academic mentor and
supervisory committee. It is expected that nine of the 12 credit hours in the
concentration will be in a focused content area and that student's research projects
will reflect their concentration interests. At least three, but not more than nine
credit hours in the concentration should be taken from a program or department
outside the student's home program.
Admission Requirements: Applicants must submit the Graduate College online
application. In addition to meeting Graduate College requirements, students must
submit the following to the physical activity, nutrition, and wellness executive
committee chair:
1. A letter of intent (designating the name of a potential mentor from a list of
approved faculty mentors).
2. GRE scores (verbal, quantitative and writing).
3. A six‐ to 10‐page writing sample.
4. A professional resume.
5. Three letters of recommendation.
It is expected that students admitted to the program will have a strong disciplinary
foundation in either physical activity or nutrition. Individuals lacking background in
these areas will be required to make up deficiencies before admission. Students
must have completed the following prerequisite undergraduate and graduate

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 582

courses prior to admission: lower‐division human nutrition, upper‐division
nutrition, lower‐division anatomy, lower‐division physiology, upper‐division
exercise physiology, graduate‐level research methods and graduate level statistics.
Other requirements may be necessary depending on the area of study and will be
determined by the mentor and executive committee.
Additionally, all students must submit an application for a teaching or research
graduate 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 doctoral 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, GPA, GRE scores, recommendations, available funding and a
match of research interests with available mentors.
It is expected that doctoral students will spend three years in full‐time residence.
The intent is to involve and embed students in ongoing research as well as class
study. Thus, all doctoral students are to be full‐time students and hold part‐time
appointments (20 hours per week) as a teaching assistant or research assistant. As
such, to be accepted into the program, funding must be available and students must
have the expertise, experience and willingness to teach courses in the exercise and
wellness or nutrition undergraduate curriculum or be a research assistant as
funding allows.
Applications are accepted for admission to the fall semester only, with first priority
given to completed applications received by Jan. 15.

The mission of the Ph.D. program in public administration is to prepare students for
an academic career as a researcher, teacher and member of the academic
community. Accordingly, the Ph.D. program curriculum is theoretically grounded
and research based. The program emphasizes:
1. The use of alternative theoretical frameworks and research methodologies to
define, understand and develop solutions to public problems.
2. The application of normative and empirical approaches to improving
democratic governance and advancing the public interest.
3. The development of skills necessary to produce and disseminate new
knowledge in the field of public administration.
While the Ph.D. program is located in the School of Public Affairs, students are
encouraged to tailor a course of study to fit individual needs and goals by drawing
on faculty from across the university.
Program Requirement: The Ph.D. program consists of a minimum of 66 credit hours
of graduate work beyond the master's degree. The program of study consists of a

establish a program of study committee that works with them to develop an
appropriate interdisciplinary course of study.
In addition to the four core courses, an approved program of study must include
required courses in quantitative and qualitative methods (taken during their second
year) and a professional development workshop (taken during their third year).
Students are also expected to develop areas of specialization.
Admission Requirements: All applicants are expected to have completed graduate

Program Description: The mission of the Ph.D. program in public administration is to
prepare students for an academic career as a researcher, teacher and member of the

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 609

academic community. Accordingly, the Ph.D. program curriculum is theoretically
grounded and research based. The program emphasizes:
1. The use of alternative theoretical frameworks and research methodologies to
define, understand and develop solutions to public problems.
2. The application of normative and empirical approaches to improving
democratic governance and advancing the public interest.
The development of skills necessary to produce and disseminate new knowledge in
the field of public administration. The concentration in urbanism is a mechanism for
organizing varied perspectives on urbanism into a collective body of scholarship.
The study of Public Administration is enriched by grounding it in a comprehensive
understanding of the characteristics of urban context and the dynamic forces that
shape them.
The concentration in urbanism leverages the varied interests in urbanism and help
emerging scholars as they attempt to compare, contrast and take stock of urbanism.
Working with faculty from across a range of departments and programs at ASU,
doctoral students will be able to capture the creative tensions that scholarship on
urbanism has inspired in order to stimulate a provocative, constructive kind of
inquiry.
Program Requirement: The Ph.D. program consists of a minimum of 66 credit hours
of graduate work beyond the master's degree. The program of study consists of a
minimum of 42 credit hours of graduate course work beyond the master's degree,
plus a minimum of 24 credit hours of dissertation and research credit. A minimum
of 30 credit hours of approved course work (exclusive of dissertation and research)
must be taken at ASU after admission to the program.
A sequence of four core courses (12 hours) is required of all students in their first
year, followed by successfully passing a screening examination. Then students
establish a program of study committee that works with them to develop an
appropriate interdisciplinary course of study.
In addition to the four core courses, an approved program of study must include
required courses in quantitative and qualitative methods (taken during their second
year) and a professional development workshop (taken during their third year).
Students also take 15 credit hours selected from an approved list of applicable
courses related to urbanism for the concentration.

Media Analysis (Minor) CSCMOMINA
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 credit 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 credit
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)
MCO 418 History of Mass Communication, SB, H (3)
In addition, students select three additional courses (nine hours) from the list of
electives offered by the 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. Electives offered include:
MCO 200 Introduction to the Electronic Media (3)
MCO 240 Media Issues in American Pop Culture (3)

Transborder Chicana/o & Latina/o Studies (Minor) LACCSMIN
Description: The Department of Transborder Chicana/o and Latina/o Studies offers
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.
The program offers students a fundamental understanding of the many dimensions
of transnational and transborder processes. These include giving students the
knowledge necessary to understand the manner in which Chicana/o, Mexican and
Latina/o populations are influenced by and also negotiate political, social, cultural
and linguistic borders of multiple sorts.

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 756

An equally important dimension is the preparation of students to effectively
function in transnational and transborder contexts and processes. Graduates will be
able to traverse political borders because capital expansion is practically unlimited
in time and space. Students gain skill at developing literary, policy and applied
projects that benefit their communities and regions. The department's intellectual
mission embraces both material, cultural and applied approaches to the study of
transborder and transnational phenomena.
Program Requirement: The transborder Chicana/o and Latina/o studies minor
requires 18 credit hours of TCL course work.

American History to 1900 (3)
It is recommended that students completing TCL 201 take TCL 332, and those
completing TCL 202 take TCL 331.
Students must take the remaining 12 credit hours in upper‐division TCL courses in
concentrations of their choice.
Enrollment Requirements: Students who wish to pursue a minor in transborder
Chicana/o and Latina/o studies may do so with the permission of the department,

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 775

Cities are centers of human creativity and cultural innovation. They both attract and
breed these. Such creativity and innovation are apparent in the vitality of the arts, as
well as that of businesses (both large and small), research (basic and applied) and
the 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 and 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.
Program Requirement: The five‐course sequence comprising the certificate will
enable students to build upon their own strengths in order to help cities and
communities creatively build upon their capacities. The creative city certificate

how scientific claims gain authority are enriched when they are considered in an
historical context. Such philosophic and historical study will also often include the
examination of contemporary sciences and their place within the larger society,
including the study of bioethics, policy and law.
This certificate is a valuable addition for students in the sciences or the humanities.
It crosses disciplines to help students engage in unfamiliar and familiar paths of
inquiry in new and interesting ways.

Human Rights (Certificate) LAHRTSCERT
Description: The certificate in human rights offers a model for educating and
training ASU undergraduate students through socially embedded, transdisciplinary
dialogue, research and practice. Course work in the social sciences, law and the
humanities will prepare students to critically examine societal problems and to
design culturally congruent and contextually specific solutions to human rights
dilemmas in such areas as health, education, violence against women, child welfare,
the environment, water and energy resources, and economic development. Human
rights is a powerful framework that extends beyond political and civil rights to
encompass social, cultural and economic rights including, for example, women's
rights, indigenous rights, labor rights and rights discourse has been invoked to
combat race‐, gender‐ and class‐based forms of discrimination.

Academic Catalog Archive 2009-10 788

The 18‐credit‐hour curriculum balances foundations and principles of human rights
(theories, laws, institutions and norms) and their application in relation to specific
domestic and international issues. The certificate program also will strengthen
students' respect for fundamental freedoms and rights and promote cultural
understanding, tolerance and civic engagement. It provides students with historical,
legal and philosophical perspectives from which to think broadly and critically
about human rights issues, and introduces students to social science and policy
research on rights, conflict and governance; to human rights conventions, laws and
treaties; and to the institutions that seek to uphold these agreements (e.g.,
international tribunals, nongovernment organizations, etc.). The goal is to provide
students with the guidance, background and skills needed to work within those
professions most closely aligned with human rights, including some aspects of law,
nongovernment organizations and other nonprofits and policy development.
Geographically, ASU is an ideal location for an undergraduate human rights
certificate. Situated in the Sonoran Desert, Arizona will increasingly face human
rights issues related to environmental degradation (e.g., access to water and energy
resources). Close proximity to Mexico also guarantees that human rights issues
related to immigration will continue to dominate political discourse and policy
decisions in Arizona for the foreseeable future. Similarly, with 21 American Indian
tribes and nations in Arizona alone, indigenous rights will remain a central concern
for residents of the Southwest. Undergraduate students engaged in a human rights
dialogue will be well situated to develop appropriate models for improving
conditions within local communities and to critically assess such frameworks locally
and globally.
The certificate is not a substitute for degree requirements in any majors, including
justice studies, but rather the course work is intended to supplement the student's
chosen major by adding a human rights dimension and focus.
Program Requirement: Students must complete 18 hours of qualifying course work,
at least 12 hours of which must be from ASU. A minimum grade of “C”
is required for a course to count towards the certificate. The same course may be
used to satisfy multiple graduation requirements.
Required Certificate Core Courses:
1. Global Politics of Human Rights (3)
Students must select one of the following courses:
POL 494 International Human Rights
JUS 352 The Global Politics of Human Rights
2. Human Rights Institutions and Organizations (3)

4. Experiential Learning Component (3)
A central element of this certificate program will be the linkage of learning
and doing by connecting theoretical and substantive learning about human
rights with practical knowledge about the workings of organizations and
institutions seeking to address human rights violations. To better connect
classroom learning with practical experience, students will be required to
participate in either a for‐credit internship with a human rights organization
in the U.S. or abroad or a Research Experience with Undergraduates (REU)
under the supervision of a human rights faculty member (honors thesis may
substitute). A written component to the internship or REU is required.
Students pursuing the certificate will also be invited (and expected) to attend events
such as conferences, speaker series, etc. offered by affiliated departments, schools
and centers.
Enrollment Requirements: Students who have attained junior standing (56 credit
hours) in any undergraduate degree program in any field at ASU are eligible for
admission to the certificate in human rights. There are no formal admissions
procedures to begin certificate course work, but students should contact the
certificate in human rights program director or an advisor as soon as they decide to
begin pursuing the certificate. They should initiate this correspondence with a
message containing their name, e‐mail address, major, year of study and anticipated
graduation date, as well as a general statement of interest.
In addition to the undergraduate advisors in the School of Justice and Social Inquiry,
students will receive advising assistance from the certificate director or a member
of the certificate program committee in developing a plan that will ensure successful
completion of certificate requirements. To facilitate this process, each participating
unit has a representative on the program committee. Students are responsible for
consulting with an advisor in the School of Justice and Social Inquiry prior to
graduation to request that the certificate be recorded on their transcripts.

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. Advising is provided
through University College. Lesbians, gay men, bisexuals and transgendered (LGBT)
people play important roles as colleagues, clients, parents, children, siblings,
neighbors, employees, 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

1. Knowledge about specific lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered
communities.
2. Knowledge about the history and maintenance of the category, lesbians and
gay men.
3. Theoretical perspectives on heterosexuality as a presumptive sexual identity.
4. An understanding of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender studies as an
academic area of inquiry.
5. An understanding of community politics, dynamics and conflicts.
6. Use‐inspired education that culminates in a public presentation.
7. Practical experience in utilizing course work knowledge in the community
through an internship or community service project.
Program Requirement: The certificate requires 15 credit hours; a minimum of 12

Applied Mathematics for Life and Social Sciences (BS) LAAMLBS
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
Program Description: Applied mathematics for life and social sciences (AMLSS) is a
new and rapidly developing crossdisciplinary field that investigates and integrates
complex areas of the physical, life and social sciences. A cardinal objective of this
program is to offer students the opportunities to develop purposeful competencies
in mathematics as well as an appreciation for the contributions of mathematics to
the fields of sciences, engineering, business, government, economics, and the power
of critical thinking.
The students are taught how to use theories and techniques such as mathematical
modeling and computational methods to resolve real world practical problems.
They will also engage in course work directed toward an understanding of
mathematical theory and it relation to other fields of study which includes an
emphasis on precision of definition, reasoning to accurate conclusions and analyzing
and developing solutions to problems using mathematical principles.
The B.S. in AMLSS is a challenging, but fun, curriculum that will prepare a new
generation of students to pursue advanced degrees in mathematical, life or social
sciences. The focus of this degree is acquiring a lifelong learning philosophy that will
prepare students to become first‐rate scientists and important agents of change in
the shrinking global village. The AMLSS B.S. will provide students entering the
environmental, life, health, mathematical and social science fields the quantitative,
scientific and analytical skills that are critical but still lacking for professionals
working in these areas.

private and government sectors may become consultants in federal and state
organizations or agencies, actuaries for banks or insurance companies, engineers,
computer analysts and operations researchers. Many careers require a certain
authority of quantitative methods and graduates qualified in mathematics are more
marketable.
According to a survey in 1999, by the National Association of Colleges and
Employers, starting salaries for mathematics graduates with a bachelor's degree
averaged about $37,300 per year and $42,000 for those with a master's degree.
Doctoral degree holders averaged $58,900. The typical yearly salary for
mathematicians employed by the federal government in supervisory,
nonsupervisory and decision‐making positions was $69,000; for mathematical
statisticians, $69,000; and for cryptanalysts, $61,100, in early 1999. An example of

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 careers in academic research and teaching, and in health services, whether
in universities, government agencies, departments of health, international agencies
(WHO, CDC, Global Health Council, World Bank, Interamerican Development Bank),
NGOs, or in private business or industry. The degree also provides those who plan
advanced specialist health training, such as in nursing, medicine, dentistry or
pharmacy, with a broad intellectual base that enhances later specialist training.
In reports prepared by such organizations as the Pew Health Professional
Consortium and the National Commission on Allied Health, experts conclude that
the best health professionals have interdisciplinary perspectives, social and cultural
acuity (such as in cross‐cultural settings) and team‐oriented skills. In Arizona and
elsewhere, there is a pressing need for professionals with appropriate skills to work
in cross‐cultural settings or with underserved populations (such as migrants,
minorities and those living in poverty), and many of these jobs are directly or
indirectly related to health. Graduates interested in pursuing research or scientific
careers continue to graduate school to seek a master's or doctorate degree in fields
such as:

Philosophy (BA) LAPHIBA
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
Program Description: A B.A. in philosophy offers a unique course of study. As the
American Philosophical Association says, “Philosophy is quite unlike any other
field...it is a reasoned pursuit of fundamental truths, a quest for understanding, a
study of principles of conduct. It seeks to establish standards of evidence, to provide
rational methods of resolving conflicts and to create techniques for evaluating ideas
and arguments. Philosophy develops the capacity to see the world from the
perspective of other individuals and other cultures; it enhances one's ability to
perceive the relationships among the various fields of study; and it deepens one's
sense of the meaning and varieties of human experience.”
Language Requirement: Y | Program Fee: N
Career Opportunities: The analytical, rhetorical and writing skills developed through
the study of philosophy provide ideal preparation for a wide range of careers,

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

Special Education (BAE) TESPEBAE
College of Teacher Education and Leadership
Program Description: The B.A.E. in special education in the College of Teacher
Education and Leadership is available at the West and Downtown Phoenix
campuses. Special education for children and adolescents with diverse learning
needs is viewed as a service not a place. Our primary goals are to prepare teachers
to provide a variety of educational options based on individual needs and to design
curriculum based on the whole child in the context of their family, culture,
community and learning needs.
Because the general education classroom is a viable placement option for many
students with mild and moderate learning and behavior disabilities, teaching special
education teachers to collaborate is emphasized throughout the professional
preparation sequence. Students receive additional training in using interpersonal
communication and problem‐solving skills. They also learn adaptive techniques and
about assistive technologies that facilitate the successful integration of students
with diverse leaning needs in general education classrooms.
This is a dual‐certificate program which leads to certification in both special
education in mild cross‐categorical disabilities and first through eighth grade
elementary education.
Language Requirement: N | Program Fee: N
Career Opportunities: National and state studies report the current and projected
need over the next 5‐10 years will be foremost for special education teachers.
Graduates of the B.A.E. in special education program will be eligible to teach
kindergarten through grade 12 for the spectrum of mild disabilities (learning
disabilities, behavior disabilities and mild mental retardation) in cross‐categorical
special education classes. In general education classes, graduates serve in resource
rooms and self‐contained classes as itinerant teachers, consulting teachers and co‐
teachers. Graduates also have the opportunity to consult with governmental
agencies, curriculum publishers and parent organizations.

expected to remain intense, as there generally are many more applicants than there
are openings. However, graduates from this program have an excellent opportunity
of being hired as air traffic controllers.

Business – Bachelor of Arts (BA) BABUSBA
W. P. Carey School of Business
Not accepting applications.
Program Description: Coming soon! ASU will soon start accepting applications to the
new BA in Business in the W.P. Carey School of Business.
The Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Business is an innovative, interdisciplinary program
providing attractive concentrations that are valuable in a business context. Students in the
Bachelor of Arts in Business program will take a set of lower-division "skill" courses
(Accounting, Computer Information Systems, Economics, Mathematics, and Statistics),
the business core (Finance, Legal and Ethical Studies, Management, Marketing, and
Supply Chain Management), plus courses in a specific major outside of the business
school that we believe will be valuable in a business context.
In consultation with our university partners, we have identified four concentration areas,
Communication, Sustainability, Tourism, and Urban Policy, that will produce graduates
to meet market demands. Students must select a concentration by the end of their second
semester. More may be added as the program evolves.
Freshman and transfer students must submit either a SAT Reasoning test scores or an
ACT test score (we do not require the writing portion of these tests) by the end of the first
semester in the program. There is no minimum score requirement.
Language Requirement: N | Program Fee: N
Admission Requirements: Transfer Students: This major has admission requirements in
addition to those of the university. 3.0 GPA for all transfer work.
Freshmen Students: Freshman admission requirements for this program are the same as
the University's freshman admission requirements.

Career Opportunities: The Bachelor of Arts in Business is intended to prepare

role in ensuring success. The program will produce graduates with the capability
and motivation for continued learning throughout their careers.

Pre‐Law LALAWPRE
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
Program Description: This program is designed for students interested in pursuing a
legal career. Law school admission policies do not favor one major over another,
provided the pre‐law student's chosen major requires substantive course work.
Instead of recommending a single program, the Association of American Law
Schools suggests that an undergraduate education develop certain skills, qualities,
knowledge and insights essential to the law student and ultimately to the
profession. At the point that the student is ready to take the LSAT and begin the
application process, he or she is encouraged to meet with a pre‐law professional
either in the student's major or in the Office of Student and Academic Programs.
Language Requirement: N | Program Fee: N
Career Opportunities: Pre‐law advisors can help students make important decisions
about their futures and assist them with the technical aspects of the application
process for law school programs.

Additional Notes:
Students who begin the STS program at ASUPOLY as freshmen will take STS 101 and 110. STS 304 and 317 are for transfer students with 64 units who need upper
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 331 Ethical Issues in Science and Technology
STS 364 Science, Technology and National Security
STS 425 Law, Values, and Science and Technology
Students in the Global Technology and Development Track will complete the following coursework or their equivalents:
STS 328 Science, Technology and Culture
STS 329 Cultivating Technology in Newly Industrializing Countries
STS 330 Information Technology and Globalization
STS 331 Ethical Issues in Science and Technology
STS 332 Seminar: Global Issues in Science and Technology
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.

after completion of intermediate French. FRE 101, 102, 111, 201 or 202 are not major requirements, but demonstrated proficiency at
or above the 202 level is required for enrollment in upper-division major requirement courses (note: FRE 205: Readings in French
Literature is a degree requirement and will be used toward major requirements). Students are strongly encouraged to contact an
academic advisor regarding clarifications on course applicability.

after completion of intermediate German. GER 101, 102 or 111 are not major requirements, but demonstrated proficiency at or above
the 202 level is required for enrollment in upper-division major requirement courses. A maximum of 6 hours from the GER 200 level
(GER 201: Intermediate German I and GER 202: Intermediate German II) may be used toward major requirements. Students are
strongly encouraged to contact an academic advisor regarding clarifications on course applicability.

Italian is a flexible liberal arts major. Students must bear in mind that credits toward the major and minor can only be accumulated
after completion of intermediate Italian. ITA 101, 102 or 111 are not major requirements, but demonstrated proficiency at or above
the 202 level is required for enrollment in upper-division major requirement courses. A maximum of 6 hours from the ITA 200 level
(ITA 201: Intermediate Italian I and ITA 202: Intermediate Italian II) may be used toward major requirements. Students are strongly
encouraged to contact an academic advisor regarding clarifications on course applicability.

http://silc.asu.edu/undergraduate/majors-minors-certs
Russian is a flexible liberal arts major. Students must bear in mind that credits toward the major and minor can only be accumulated
after completion of intermediate Russian. RUS 101, 102 or 111 are not major requirements, but demonstrated proficiency at or above
the 202 level is required for enrollment in upper-division major requirement courses. A maximum of 6 hours from the Intermediate
Russian language sequence (RUS 201: Intermediate Russian I and RUS 202: Intermediate Russian II) may be used toward major
requirements. Students are strongly encouraged to contact an academic advisor regarding clarifications on course applicability.
