Learning about Northeastern
Admissions Policies
Entrance Requirements
The Department of Undergraduate Admissions encourages prospective students to learn more about Northeastern University. For more information on the following programs, or to receive additional publications or videocassettes, contact the department at 617-437-2211 (voice), 617-437-4019 (TTY), or 617-437-8780 (fax). Or write: Department of Undergraduate Admissions, 150 Richards Hall, Northeastern University, Boston, Massachusetts 02115.
Information sessions. Scheduled on Mondays and Fridays from October 1 through June 1 (except for legal holidays) and usually offered throughout school vacation periods, these sessions include presentations by an admissions counselor, an informal question-and-answer period, and a multimedia presentation. These sessions are also held on Saturday mornings in the fall and spring.
Interviews. All prospective students are encouraged to schedule a personal interview. The interview allows students to meet with an admissions counselor and to leeim more about the University's academic and cooperative education programs.
Guided tours. Student-guided tours of the campus are usually held, Monday through Friday and on Saturday mornings in the fall and spring. During July and August tours are held on Monday through Thursday. Both the admissions information session and the tour should be scheduled in advance by contacting the admissions department.
College visit program. Prospective students and their parents have the opportunity to visit any one of the undergraduate colleges and schools through the college visit program. Visits are scheduled so that visiting students and their parents may also participate in the information session and university tour on the same day.
Open houses. During late winter and early spring, each of Northeastem's undergraduate colleges invites prospective students and their parents to an open house. Representatives of various University departments provide information about admissions, cooperative education, financial aid, residential life, student activities, and the University libraries, among other areas.
Northeastern University admits qualified freshmen and transfer students to all programs in September and January. In most programs, transfer students also may apply for entrance at the beginning of the March and June quarters.
Rolling admission. Decisions on admission are made as soon as all of the required credentials (including first marking-period senior grades and CEEB or ACT test scores) have been submitted and reviewed. In all cases of acceptance, candidates must complete their senior year of high school. Admission is selective and priority is given to candidates who apply by March 1.
Early admission — -juniors, second-semester seniors. In certain cases, students may enroll at Northeastern prior to high school graduation. Such students may enroll either in September or in January, thereby reducing by one year the time to complete degree requirements. The endorse- ment of the school principal or guidance counselor is required for early admission.
Deferred admission. Accepted students who wish to participate in the deferred admission plan will be asked to describe the activities they plan for the year preceding enrollment. Students may choose this plan for reasons such as travel, health problems, or work.
Required deposits. Students who are accepted to the University are asked to submit a nonrefund- able tuition deposit of $100 by May 1. This deposit indicates intent to enroll and is applied to the first-quarter tuition account. Students applying for entrance dates other than September should note the required deposit date on their certificates of acceptance. For additional information about deposits required for international students, refer to the International Students section on page 4.
Students interested in on-campus housing must submit a nonrefundable $400 deposit (in addition to the $ 100 tuition deposit) along with a completed housing application form to complete the housing application process. Information about this required nonrefundable deposit is mailed by the Department of Residential Life to all students accepted following admission.
Applicants have, ideally, completed an academically challenging secondary school program — one that includes courses in English, mathematics, laboratory science, history, and a foreign language. Candidates should also have read broadly outside of class and developed an ability to communicate ideas effectively. Achievement in secondary school has been shown to be the best single predictor of college academic success. This factor, together with recommendations from the school counselor, and SAT or ACT test results, weigh most heavily in the evaluation process.

Arts. Students who plan to major in art, theatre, English, foreign languages, music, philosophy, and speech communication should have demonstrated ability in these areas during high school. Candidates who plan to pursue careers in anthropology, economics, history, human services, linguistics, political science, psychology, or sociology should have a well-rounded background in the social sciences. Applicants to the School of Journalism should have worked on vmting and produc- ing high school publications or audio- or videotape productions.
Students seeking certification as teachers in early childhood education or elementary education or those majoring in human services or recreation management should have demonstrated interest in the behavioral, social, and human sciences.
Business administration. Candidates must have completed a strong preparatory program that emphasized the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. Applicants also must have had several years of mathematics, including geometry and Algebra 1 and 2.
Computer science, engineering, mathematics, nursing, pharmacy and health sciences, and sciences. Applicants are encouraged to complete a full sequence of science and mathematics courses. In science, such a sequence usually includes a year of study and laboratory work in biology, chemistry, and physics; and, in mathematics, geometry. Algebra 1 and 2, and a fourth year of trigonometry and/or analysis. Math and science majors also need courses in the social sciences and humanities.
Criminal justice. Applicants should have demonstrated the ability to succeed in their study of the behavioral, social, and human sciences.
Engineering technology. Applicants are encouraged to complete a full sequence of mathematics, including geometry. Algebra 1 and 2, and analysis; and a full year of study and lab work in a natural science. Candidates also need courses in the social sciences and humanities.
Freshmen must take the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) of the College Board or the American College Testing Program. For more information, consult a school guidance counselor or write directly to The College Board, P.O. Box 592, Princeton, NJ 08540 or P.O. Box 1025, Berkeley, CA 94701. Or write to American College Testing Program, P.O. Box 168, Iowa City, lA 52243.
Before being considered for admission, students whose native language is not English are required to demonstrate some English language proficiency. This can be done by submitting the results of the College Board's Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), by successfully completing an approved English-as-a-second-language course of study, or by being enrolled in such a course.
Before they are allowed to enroll in academic coursework, all students whose first language is not English and who score below 550 on the TOEFL (or its equivalent on another examination) must take the English Proficiency Test administered by the University's English Language Center. The results of this test are used to assign students to appropriate English courses.
The University grants advanced placement credit to applicants with a score of 3 or better in their advanced placement examinations. Applicants may take the tests in art (history, studio — general, studio — drawing), biology, chemistry, computer science (A, AB), economics (microeconomics, macroeconomics), English (language, literature), French (language, literature), German (lan- guage), government and politics (comparative, United States), history (European, United States), Latin (Virgil, Catullus-Horace), mathematics (calculus AB, BC), music (theory), physics (B,C mechanics-C electricity, magnetism), and Spanish (language, literature). Applicants who wish to submit scores for advanced placement are required to take the Advanced Placement Tests of the College Board in May.
The University cooperates with the College Board in its College-Level Examination Program. CLEP provides a national program to evaluate nontraditional college-level education. Northeastern will grant college credit to qualified students according to their CLEP scores. Northeastern has been designated a CLEP Testing Center. For more information, contact the Counseling Center at 302 Ell Student Center, 617-437-2142.
The Lane Health Center's Pre-entrance Physical Examination Form is sent to each student following acceptance at Northeastern. This form is considered a condition of enrollment. Each applicant must return the completed form, which includes a medical history, documentation of a recent physical exam, and a tuberculin test within six months of registration.
State law requires medical documentation of appropriate immunization against measles (two vaccinations), mumps, rubella, tetanus, and diphtheria. A rubella titre is mandatory for the health professions (Medical Laboratory Science, Nursing, Pharmacy and Health Sciences, Radiology, and Physical Therapy). Tuberculin tests are required annually for nursing students and within three months prior to the practicum for student teachers. Junior-year physical therapy students will have a repeat exam performed at the Lane Health Center. A positive titre for Hepatitis B is required prior to beginning any clinical assignments, internships, or cooperative education

The University considers awarding advanced standing credit to students whose secondary school education exceeds the requirements met by students in the American educational system.
The University recognizes the advanced level of academic preparation offered by the Interna- tional Baccalaureate. Up to one year of credit is generally granted for scores of 5, 6, or 7 on higher- level examinations, as applicable to the degree being pursued.
If you have completed one or two years of study in an accredited college, university, or technical institute or have earned an associate's degree from an accredited junior college or other two-year program, you may seek admission as an upperclass student.
Transfer students rnay request advanced standing credit as upperclass students on the basis of acceptable credits earned in an accredited two- or four-year institution or a technical institute.
Basic requirements. You must have achieved a satisfactory college record — appropriate to the course of study you wish to pursue — at another institution. Credit is generally granted toward a Northeastern degree for a grade of C (2.0) or better in any reasonably equivalent course completed at another accredited institution. Candidates must be in good standing and must be eligible to continue in the institution they are currently attending.
Northeastern University uses the quarter calendar andawards quarter hours of credit for courses that are successfully completed. Each quarter hour ( QH ) of credit is equivalent to three- quarters of one semester hour. Most Northeastern courses are equivalent to three semester hours of credit or four quarter hours. Students who successfully complete 48 quarter hours generally

International Cooperative Education
Cooperative education is based on the principle that what students learn in the workplace is a valuable complement to what they learn in the classroom. For most programs, cooperative education is a degree requirement. The University assists in structuring cooperative work experiences and attempts to integrate these experiences into students' academic programs. The success of the program, however, ultimately depends on student interest and enthusiasm and the cooperation of educators and outside agencies.
Studies show that reinforcing classroom learning with job responsibilities increases a student's motivation and self-confidence. Greater interest in academic work develops when students are able to see the link between co-op experiences and classroom principles. Co-op students are able not only to evaluate career decisions early in their college years, but also to gain meaningfiil work experience before graduation and establish professional contacts and references. The salaries students earn in cooperative education experiences may also help deiray a portion of the costs of their education.
Participation in co-op is required of all students except those in the College of Arts and Sciences. Although most arts and sciences students choose to take advantage of co-op, the college offers a full- time program without co-op.
Cooperative education curricula leading to the baccalaureate degree generally require five years at Northeastern University. Programs typically consist of a freshman year of three consecutive quarters of full-time study followed by four upperclass years in which students alternate periods of classroom study with cooperative education experiences. The College of Engineering and the College of Computer Science offer a four-year co-op option.
Responsible for all phases of the co-op program, a faculty coordinator/counselor team assists students in deriving maximum benefits fi-om their education at Northeastern, hi general, co-op experiences can become increasingly challenging and career-specific as the students' education and abilities grow.
Students are not limited to paid employment during a cooperative period. They may wish to travel abroad, to do volunteer work, or to take specialized courses at another institution.
The Office of International Cooperative Education offers a variety of services to international students and students from the United States. Through the International Exchange Program, undergraduates may be placed abroad for their cooperative work experience. Placements abroad are currently available in the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Germany, Austria, the Nether- lands, Sweden, Australia, and Israel for students whose academic and linguistic experience make them appropriate candidates.
International students may receive assistance on matters relating to their co-op employment, such as Social Security and tax information, as well as issues involving the verification of their immi- gration and co-op status. A special course, Working in the U.S., is offered to international students to help prepare them for co-op. Additionally, new opportunities are being developed to enable some international students to return to their home countries to work for American companies on co-op.

Academic Policies
Attendance Requirements
Class Schedule
In this section, you will find general information about what is expected of you as a student and how your progress toward matriculation is measured. For specific details on your individual degree program, consult your academic adviser.
The University assumes no liability for any delay in providing or failing to provide educational or related services or facilities due to causes beyond the reasonable control of the University. Causes include, but are not limited to, power failure, fire, strikes by University employees or others, weather damage, and acts of public authorities. However, when in its judgment it is appropriate to do so, the University will exert reasonable efforts to provide comparable or substantially equivalent services, facilities, or performance; but its inability or failure to do so shall not subject it to liability.
No faculty member, administrator, or other representative of the University shall make any representations to, or enter into any agreements with, or act toward any student or other person in any manner that is not in conformity with established University policies, practices, and proce- dures as expressed in this or any other official University document.
The University expects you to meet attendance requirements in all courses to qualify for credit. Attendance requirements vary; it is your responsibility to ascertain what each instructor requires.
Failure to meet attendance requirements may force you to drop the course, as recommended by the instructor and with the approval of the Academic Standing Committee of the college.
Classes for day students are scheduled from 8:00 am to 5:10 pm, Monday through Friday. You should not make conflicting commitments until the class schedules for each quarter are final. Schedule changes to accommodate part-time work are difficult and rarely made.
Permission to make up work may be granted by instructors for reasonable cause. Requests must be made immediately upon your return to class. Laboratory work can be made up only during the hours of regularly scheduled instruction.
Absence because of student activities. If you must miss classes to participate in athletic contests or other forms of scheduled intercollegiate activity, you are entitled to make-up privileges. Faculty members may require a written statement from the administrator in charge of the activity.
Absence because of illness. If you are absent from school for an extended period of time, you must inform the Office of Freshman Affairs or your college by letter, message, or telephone.
Absence because of religious beliefs. The University maintains the following guidelines regarding student absences because of religious beliefs. "Any student who is unable, because of his/her religious beliefs, to attend classes or to participate in any examination, study, or work requirement shall be provided with an opportunity to make up such examination, study, or work requirement which he/she may have missed because of such absence on any particular day; provided, however, that such makeup examination or work shall not create an unreasonable burden upon such school. No fees of any kind shall be charged by the institution for making available to the said student such opportunity. No adverse or prejudicial effects shall result to any student because of availing himself/herself of the provisions of this section." (Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 151C, Section 2B, 1985.)
Absence because of jury duty. Members of the University community are expected to fulfill their obligations to serve on a jury if called upon. If you are selected for jury duty, inform your instructors and/or activity advisers. They will provide reasonable substitute or compensatory opportunities for any required work you miss. Your absence will not be penalized in any way.
All classes start promptly according to the class schedule shown. Students take classes grouped in sequences, as shown in the following class sequence chart. Most of the classes at Northeastern are scheduled in the time periods listed during the fall, winter, and spring quarters.
Students may leave fifteen minutes past the scheduled opening of class if the instructor is not present. Students are expected to be punctual. Students who are late for classes should attend for the balance of the period. Instructors will not tolerate habitual tardiness.

Groding System Grades are officially recorded by letters, evaluated as follows.
Numerical Grades equivalent Status
A 4.000 Outstanding achievement
A- 3.667
B+ 3.333
B 3.000 Good achievement
B- 2.667
C+ 2.333
C 2.000 Satisfactory achievement
C- 1.667
D+ 1.333
D 1.000 Poor achievement
D- .667 .
F .000
I Incomplete (in a letter
graded course) S Satisfactory achievement
in pass/fail course; counts
toward degree requirements U Unsatisfactory achievement
in pass/fail course W Course withdrawal
X Incomplete in a pass/fail course
An I or X grade shows that the student has not completed the course requirements. An average grade of D or less is not acceptable and will not allow a student to continue at Northeastern University.
Individual faculty may choose not to use plus or minus designations. If faculty elect to use only whole letters, they must announce this to the class at the beginning of the quarter.
Quality-point average. Numerical equivalents for scholastic averages are weighted according to the number of hours the course carries. For example, a grade of A in a course carrying 3 quarter hours is weighted at 12. A grade of C in a course carrying 2 quarter hours is weighted at 4. Your quality-point average for both courses would then be 12 plus 4, divided by 5, or 3.2. Grades of X, I, S, and U are not included in the calculation of the quality-point average.
Credit hours. Credit hours are assigned to a course based on the established educational standard that one credit hour is equal to approximately three hours of student learning time per week over a period of a quarter, semester, or term (usually one hour of lecture or discussion, plus two hours of individual study outside class). When much individual study is involved, as in directed study or certain graduate courses, each additional hour of credit should represent at least three hours of student work.
Transfer of credits. With the approval of the academic dean or, for freshmen, the Office of Freshman Affairs, a student in one of the full-time day programs may take courses in University College, the School of Engineering Technology, graduate school, or the part-time engineering program and have those courses and grades recorded on the permanent record. Degree credit may be granted for transfer work from other institutions; check with the Office of Freshman Affairs or the dean of your college.
Pass I fail system. The individual schools and colleges state how and when the pass/fail system may be used. An outline of the general system follows.
■ Any student not on academic probation may, beginning in quarter four, register for one pass/fail course per quarter if permission is granted by the college in which the student is enrolled and if the course is offered on a pass/fail basis. Freshmen and upperclass students may take one-quarter- hour courses in physical education on a pass/fail basis in any quarter. Enrollment in these one- credit hour courses does not prevent upperclass students from electing an additional four-quarter- hour course on a pass/fail basis.
■ Pass/fail courses are normally restricted to electives outside the major field. However, the college faculty may choose to adopt the pass/fail system of grading when it appears pedagogically sound for required courses within a program.
■ Individual faculty members may decide whether any of their courses may be taken on the pass/ fail system of grading, except when uniformity is necessary. In such cases, the department and/or college faculty offering the course determine whether the pass/fail system is used.
Grading System 9
■ Grades recorded on the basis of the pass/fail system do not figure in the computation of the quality-point average. Satisfactory completion of all courses taken on the pass/fail system is designated on the student's permanent record by the letter S. Unsatisfactory work is designated by the letter U. Any unsatisfactory grade must be handled according to the existing policy of the college but must never be cleared through the election of the same course pass-fail except when this system is the only one used by the college for grading the course.
■ An incomplete in a course taken on a pass/fail basis is designated by the letter X on the permanent record and treated according to the normal procedure for incomplete grades.
■ To use the pass/fail system you must meet all prerequisites for the course. You have until the end of the second week of the quarter to declare your intention to receive a pass/fail grade. This deadline may be extended to the end of the eighth week at the option of the instructor.
Freshman reports. At the end of the first six weeks of each quarter, instructors are asked to interview those freshmen who are failing or near failing. Based on the data submitted by those instructors, the Office of Freshman Affairs generates status reports and sends them to students and their faculty advisers. Final grades are mailed to students after each quarter.
Quarterly status reports. Grades are mailed to students approximately three days after each quarter. A missing grade ("*" on grade report) means that none was turned in by the instructor. Take up the matter of a missing or erroneous grade directly with the instructor.
Dean's list. A dean's list, or honors list, is issued at the end of each quarter containing the names of students who have a 3.25 quality-point average or higher with no I grade or grade below C-. Students who are on any form of probation, who are enrolled in a course on a pass/fail basis (except where there is no alternative or where required by the program), or who are not carrying a full load as determined by their Basic College are not eligible. With a few exceptions as approved by the respective colleges, a full load is considered to be four courses or sixteen quarter hours.
Alternative-year freshmen qualify for the dean's list once they become sophomores in one of the full-time day programs.
Senior grades and status reports. During the spring quarter of senior year, each senior receives a transcript of his or her record to date. This transcript is a direct reproduction of the permanent record and is therefore cumulative. Students should understand that the permanent record is a working document, reflecting changes and additions as they occur. Carefully review transcripts and contact the registrar in 116 Hayden Hall with any problems or questions.
No grades are changed during June without the signatures of both the dean of the college and the instructor. Without the dean's cosignature, the grade change is implemented following commencement.
Transfer credits are applied toward graduation in June only if arranged with the college before the start of the spring quarter. Otherwise, the trsijisfer credit is applied following commencement.
Procedures for clearing an I or changing other grades. You may clear incomplete, failed, or dropped courses from official records. Freshmen should consult the Office of Freshman Affairs. Upperclass students should contact the office of the dean of the appropriate college as well as an adviser.
An incomplete (I) grade may be reported by the instructor when a student has failed to complete a basic component of a required course, such as homework, a quiz or final examination, a term paper, or a laboratory project. You can make up an I grade by satisfying the requirements of the instructor or, if the instructor is absent, the chair of the department. Be aware that instructors' policies on the granting of incomplete grades may vary, and that the final decision on an incomplete grade is up to the instructor. The period for clearing an I grade and for changing a grade other than an I or failure (F or U) is restricted to one calendar year from the date it is first recorded on your permanent record. There is no charge for this change.
Freshmen with multiple course deficiencies, including incomplete (I) grades, do not have a calendar year's time to rectify the deficiencies.
Students who make up an I grade by taking a different course or repeating the same course will be given a new grade and billed accordingly.
To clear an I grade, you must obtain a triplicate form on which the precise agreement for clearing an incomplete (I or X) grade is specified and signed by you and the instructor. Forms can be obtained from the department office. Make an appointment with the instructor to arrange for clearing the I grade. Then complete the form, sign the agreement, and obtain the instructor's signature; leave a copy with the instructor; take one copy to the dean's office, and retain a copy as your personal receipt.
Any exception to this policy on change of grades must be recommended by the Academic Standing Committee of the college in which the course was offered and must be forwarded in writing by the , dean to the registrar for implementation. (This process must be completed within one calendar year from the end of the quarter in which the course was offered. )
Commencing with grades given in the fall quarter of 1979, the University policy has been that I grades outstanding for twelve or more months will remain permanently and irreversibly on all records.
10 The University
Examinations
Academic Requirements for Freshman Year
If you wish to clear an I grade received more than one year before the fall quarter 1979, you may petition the Academic Standing Committee of the appropriate college. The registrar has been directed to make no exceptions to the one-year statutory limit except on recommendation of the Academic Standing Committee of the student's college, which must be forwarded in writing by the dean to the registrar.
Make up of deficiencies or failures. Failure in a course may be made up in another institution or at Northeastern's University College or School of Engineering Technology. If you wish to make up coursework at another institution, consult the dean's office for specific information about your college's transfer credit policy.
Freshmen should become familiar with the specific standards for their college and should work with the Office of Freshman Affairs, 203 Ell Building.
Remedial I compensatory courses. Remedial/compensatory courses are currently offered for credit through different programs and colleges. While credit for remedial courses may be given, not all colleges or departments will apply these credits to major, distribution, or graduation requirements. Consult your adviser for specific information.
Final examinations are held during the last week of each quarter. An examination schedule is posted at midterm on the registrar's official bulletin board. No examinations longer than one-half hour may be given in the week before final examinations. It is your responsibility to know the time and location of each of your examinations. Final exam conflicts, defined as two exams at the same hour or three exams in one day, will be resolved with the help of the scheduling office, 120 Hayden Hall, but only if reported before the last full week of classes.
A list of rules of conduct during examinations follows.
■ Students must concentrate on their own work.
■ Under no circumstances may a student communicate in any way with another student during an examination.
■ Each student must work in a manner that does not bother other students. ' ■ No unauthorized material is allowed in the examination room.
■ Unless otherwise specified by the instructor and so understood by the head proctor, students who bring such materials as books, notebooks, and papers into a final-examination room must leave them either at the front or rear of the room or against the walls, at the option of the head proctor.
■ All written material must be kept on the right arm of the chair. (In rooms with tables, materials are to be kept in front of students.)
■ Proctors cannot answer questions about the examination material; students should only ask questions concerning possible typographical errors in the text or missing parts of the examination.
■ No student may leave the room during the.first thirty minutes of the examination. Late students may not enter the examination room if any other student taking the examination has already departed. Late students do not get extra time.
■ Material may not be borrowed during the examinations.
■ Students may leave the examination room permanently after thirty minutes have elapsed, but during the last ten minutes of the examination no one will be allowed to leave the room. Students remaining until the end of the examination must cease work immediately when the head proctor announces the close of the examination and must remain quietly seated until all examination materials have been collected.
■ Students who become ill during an examination and are unable to complete the examination must report to the Lane Health Center immediately.
■ Students must turn in all examination materials before leaving the room unless the instructor indicates that copies may be retained.
■ With permission of the instructor, students may submit a stamped, self-addressed post card with the final examinations in order to receive grades early.
Depending on their college affiliation, freshmen must attain a final cumulative quality-point average of at least 1.40 or 1.60 (as noted in the individual college sections). They must also earn sufficient credits in order to progress into the sophomore year.
Drop back / repeating freshman status. Freshmen who fall below the 1.40/1.60 quality-point average standard or who have accumulated a quarter's worth or more of deficient credit (grades of F, W, I, U, X, or a missing course) are not permitted to progress with the original graduating class. Therefore, if the number of credits earned after the third quarter of the freshman year falls below the totals listed below, students may be made repeating freshmen.

Graduation Requirements
Students remain in repeating freshman status until quality-point average and credit require- ments, as well as other college and/or major department standards for the freshman year, are satisfactorily completed.
University policy grants repeating freshman status on a per quarter basis, during which time the Office of Freshman Affairs reserves the right to withdraw a student for not making good academic progress. Repeating freshmen in the College of Arts and Sciences must earn a 2.00 quality-point average each quarter; repeating freshmen in the Alternative Freshman-Year Program must pass all four classes with at least a 1.40 cumulative average in their first repeated quarter. No more than three academic quarters beyond the first year are allowed for repeating freshmen.
Academic probation with eligibility for cooperative work placement. This status exists in all colleges for freshmen who complete their programs with a quality-point average of 2.00 or higher and who have more than five deficient credits but less than a full quarter's worth of deficient credits. However, students in the College of Arts and Sciences who have less than a 2.00 quality- point average after the freshman year are on academic probation even if they earn all the credits associated with their particular major.
Academic probation without eligibility for cooperative work placement. Sophomores in all colleges are assigned this status if their ft-eshman quality-point averages range from either 1.40 or 1.60 through 1.99 and if they have six through thirteen deficient credits. They remain on academic probation in Division N until all sophomore and freshman make-up courses have been completed satisfactorily.
Repeating classes to clear deficiencies. You may, with approval, repeat a course or take a substi- tute course in the full-time day program to clear a deficiency. The final grade for this course replaces the former grade. If you are repeating courses outside the full-time day program to raise your quality-point average or to clear a deficiency you must attain an average of 2.00 in all repeated work.
To be eligible to receive degrees, graduating students must clear all academic, financial, coopera- tive work, or disciplinary deficiencies. See individual programs for specific academic requirements for graduation.
Attendance at commencement is optional. Information concerning commencement is mailed to all graduating students during the spring quarter for June graduation or summer quarter for September graduation.
Seniors are notified by mail if they fail to qualify for their degrees. No special notice is sent to those who do qualify. Students who are in doubt should call their dean's office. The University has a residency requirement for graduation of a minimum of three full-time quarters at Northeastern.
Graduation with honor is reserved for students who have attended a minimum of six full-time quarters and who have achieved quality-point averages as follows.
Registration Procedures

3.25-3.49 3.50-3.74 3.75-4.00
Honor conferred
Graduation with honor (cum laude) Graduation with high honor (magna cum laude) Graduation with highest honor (summa cum laude)
Course prerequisites. You are expected to meet prerequisites as listed in the course description of each course in which you enroll. Grades of F, U, I, X, or W in prerequisite courses do not normally fill requirements. Exceptions must be authorized by the academic department offering the course and be approved by the office of the dean of your college.
12 The University
Declaring majors and minors. Undergraduate students declare their majors upon admission to the University or in the spring quarter of their freshman year. Majors are described under the various schools and colleges. Students may earn a minor in any undergraduate discipline that designates a minor. You should declare your intent to earn a minor as early as possible, and no later than the end of the junior year, by applying to the minor department. During the final term, the department offering the minor will ensure that it appears on your academic record shortly after graduation by informing the registrar of your completion of the minor.
Internal and external transfer students. To transfer to another college within Northeastern University or to change majors within the same college, contact the appropriate office for your academic level. Upperclass students should consult the office of the dean of the college to which they want to transfer. Freshmen should consult the Office of Freshman Affairs, 203 Ell Building. A transfer to another college is not automatic but is based on a number of factors, including academic achievement and availability of space.
External transfer students are those who previously attended a college other than full-time day college at Northeastern. At the time of their admission, external transfers are identified as either freshmen with advanced standing or upperclass transfer students. Freshmen with advanced standing are those accepted with less than the equivalent of thirty-six quarter hours of transfer credit. They are included in the freshman class in quarter one, two, or three.
Upperclass transfer students have been accepted into a full-time day college with enough transfer credit to enable them to enter as sophomores, middlers, or juniors. Programs for upperclass transfers are generally planned with advisers in the offices of the department and dean.
Special students. Students not regularly enrolled in a full-time day college may, in certain instances, enroll on a quarter-by-quarter basis in some courses given in those colleges. Approval and further information must be obtained from the dean of the college offering the specific course.
Overload (additional course) policies. If you are an upperclass student taking a full course load, you can take an additional enrichment course without charge. No credit is given for this course. To take an additional course, confer with your dean or his or her designee to establish your eligibility. The additional course must be a four-quarter-hour full-time day college course; the only such tuition-free course during the upperclass academic year; in addition to the normal course load for the quarter; and on a space-available basis on registration day, with priority given to tuition- paying students. The course does not contribute to fulfilling degree requirements or to the calcula- tion of the quality-point average or total earned hours. After you have filled out and signed the necessary form, take the appropriate copy to the Office of the Registrar no later than the second week of the quarter.
Any student who registers for more quarter hours in a quarter than an existing curriculum allows is liable for the extra charges.
You can withdraw from a course up to the eighth week. You can receive a refund or credit on a prorated basis if you drop a course between the first and fourth weeks of the course. However, no rebate or credit is granted when you voluntarily drop a course beyond the fifth week. If you enroll in overload courses to clear failures or other deficiencies ( W or I ), you will be billed at the overload rate, one-sixteenth the tuition for that quarter, per quarter hour.
Should you later petition to have credits earned in this course apply to your degree, you must obtain the approval of your dean or his or her designee, pay tuition at the rate current at the time of petition, and complete the process by May of your senior year.
Dropping courses. To drop a course, first obtain a course drop form at the registrar's or your dean's office. Not attending a class does not constitute withdrawal. Fill out the form, have your instructor sign it, and keep a copy for yourself. If you are an upperclass student, be sure a represen- tative from the dean's office of your college signs and keeps a copy. If you are a freshman, return the drop form to the Office of Freshman Affairs, 203 Ell Building, for approval. After obtaining all required signatures, return the original copy to the Office of the Registrar.
Course withdrawals are permitted through the third week of the quarter without any grade recorded on the record. Course withdrawals at any time during the fourth through the eighth week of the quarter are indicated by a W on the record. After the eighth week, no withdrawals are accepted for any reason. At this point, a letter grade will be posted on the record. (A faculty member may choose not to sign a course withdrawal form if the student was involved in any kind of aca- demic dishonesty in the class.)
Change of name. Report all name changes to the Office of the Registrar immediately. This is especially important if you marry and wish to use a new name on all University records
Change of address. Notify the Office of the Registrar promptly of any address change. Both your permanent home address and your local address are needed.
Registration Procedures 13
Transcripts. To obtain an official transcript, send a check in the amount stipulated by the Office of the Bursar, mailing instructions, and a disclosure waiver, if necessary, to the assistant University registrar at 117 Hayden Hall. To request a transcript in person, first obtain an official receipt from the Office of the Cashier at 248 Richards Hall; then present the receipt and a valid photo ID at 117 Hayden Hall. Telephone requests are not accepted. You can obtain unofficial transcripts in person only by presenting a valid photo ID at 1 17 Hayden Hall.
Withdrawal from the University. To withdraw from the University for any reason, you should begin the process at the appropriate office for your academic level. Upperclass students should contact the office or the dean of their college. Freshmen should go to the Office of Freshman Affairs, 203 Ell Building. Potential transfer students should consult the dean's office for their school or the Office of the Dean of Students, 203 Ell Building.
Students may be withdrawn from the University for financial, disciplinary, academic, or health reasons. In the last case, a committee will review the recommendations of the director of health services to determine whether the student should withdraw. The student has an opportunity to present his or her case to the committee. Withdrawals are made only when it is determined that the student is a danger to himself or herself or to other members of the University community, or when the student has demonstrated behavior detrimental to the educational mission of the University.
Procedures for student leave of absence for medical reasons. After the eighth week of the quarter students may withdraw from course work (leave of absence) only for medical reasons. If you are taking a leave of absence from academic work for medical reasons contact the dean's office of your college. Medical reasons are considered to include both physical and emotional well-being. A representative of the dean's office will discuss the situation with you and refer you to the Lane Health Center with a petition form. The petition for a medical leave of absence must be made prior to the end of the quarter. Your physician must provide appropriate medical information to the Lane Health Center physician. If you are on co-op when you need a medical leave of absence, contact your co-op coordinator.
A medical leave of absence may be effective for up to six months. During this period you maintain all the rights and responsibilities of a Northeastern University student. If you are covered under the Northeastern-sponsored Blue Cross/Blue Shield insurance, it remains in effect. After six months you must obtain re-entry or be withdrawn from the University.
When you are ready to return to the University, you again contact your college representative who in turn refers you to the Lane Health Center. The center must be provided with medical documentation validating your treatment and fitness to return to school. Strict confidentiality is maintained in all aspects of medical leaves of absence. Exceptions to these procedures are handled by the appropriate academic standing committee. If you fail to follow these procedures a final grade is posted, and that grade will stand.
14 The University
College Expenses
1992-1993 Tuition
All students registered in a full-time day college are charged full tuition for coursework of twelve quarter hours or more. In addition, charges are made for coursework beyond the normal academic schedule. Students should note that the freshman year consists of three quarters of full time study. The co-op program does not begin until sophomore year.
A number of payment plans and financial aid and scholarship programs are available to help students meet college expenses. For information, contact the Office of Financial Aid, 356 Richards Hall, 617-437-3190,
Tuition is paid in installments at the beginning of each quarter. Tuition for freshmen is computed by the year and paid in three equal installments or on the schedule provided for in one of several payment plans available at Northeastern. Freshman payment deadlines are August 31, 1992; December 14, 1992; and March 22, 1993. Deadlines for January enrollees are December 14, 1992; March 22, 1993; and June 14, 1993.
Payment deadlines for upperclass students are by division. Division A: December 14, 1992, June 14, 1993; Division B: September 14, 1992-March 22, 1993; Division C (those who are temporarily or permanently on a noncooperative plan year): September 14, 1992; December 14, 1992; and March 22, 1993.
The following chart estimates the annual costs for most students. Costs vary with the year and program of study. Tuition rates, room and board charges, and fees are subject to revision by the Board of Trustees at any time. If a student defaults on tuition and/or residence payments, he or she shall be liable for not only the outstanding balance, but also for reasonable collection costs and attorneys' fees incurred by the University in collecting unpaid balances.

Students in the Alternative Freshman- Year Program are considered regular degree candidates with an undeclared major. The program is designed to help students strengthen basic skills in writing and mathematics. While helping students gain confidence in their ability to do college-level work, the program also allows students to consider several different areas of study before selecting a major. Counselors help students tailor a program to fit individual needs. The same counselors are normally available on a continuing basis throughout the entire first year.
Students in the program have access to all counseling services, physical education facilities, and extracurricular programs. Alternative Freshman-Year students are encouraged to make extensive use of the Academic Assistance Center and the Math and Writing Centers. Students are frequently referred to the Learning Resources Center. The Counseling Center is available for personal and academic counseling as well as vocational testing and counseling.
To qualify for sophomore status in the College of Arts and Sciences (nonscience programs), the College of Business Administration, and the College of Criminal Justice, alternative-year freshmen must earn a quality-point average of 1.40 or higher and successfully complete forty-four pro- grammed credits, as well as required courses. The College of Business Administration requires that students also earn a 1.80 in the five core courses: ECN 4601, ENG 4013, ENG 4014, MGT 4110, andMTH113.
Alternative freshman-year students may also qualify for science-based programs in Pharmacy and Health Sciences by completing fifty-nine programmed credits over four quarters, including three chemistry, two biology, and two advanced mathematics courses.
Alternative freshman-year students who do not meet these standards are designated repeaters. Students remain in that status until they satisfactorily meet the quality-point average and credit requirements for the freshman year in their particular program.

Compensatory Courses
Schedule for Continuation of Compensatory Programming
Compensatory courses in English and mathematics are for freshman native speakers of Enghsh whose reading, writing, and/or mathematical skills need strengthening.
The University uses one or more of three criteria to determine which freshmen participate in the compensatory programs: pre-college academic credentials, tests administered during orientation week, or performance in ENG 1110, Freshman English 1.
In general, the program consists of six courses, each offering four hours of credit. The courses must fit into the following sequences.

fThis college offers MTH 1120 and MTH 1121, a course sequence in college calculus with algebra and trigonometry, to
students who test deficient in mathematics. The sequence involves extra work in algebra and trigonometry and covers
the same material as the regular freshman calculus sequences.
ttStudents whose diagnostic examinations suggest a need for basic mathematics may elect MTH 1000 or MTH 1010 to
prepare for MTH 1106, Fundamentals of Mathematics.
§This college wall accept ENG 1110 or ENG 1014 for credit only (with a letter grade). Students who complete English
courses must still take a four-credit English elective.
The Department of Military Science offers the Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) program. The goal of ROTC is to develop men and women with leadership potential and prepare them for an officer's commission in the military service of the United States. The curriculum teaches principles of personnel management and seeks to develop leadership traits such as teamwork, ready accep- tance of responsibility, the desire to achieve, self-confidence and discipline.
ROTC, Military Officers' Training Program 19
The Army ROTC program is conducted at Northeastern. The Air Force and Navy ROTC pro- grams are conducted at Boston University. For more information, write or call the Department of Military Science, 430 Parker Building, Northeastern University, Boston, MA 02115, 617-437-2372.
Army Anthony J. Hoss, Lt. Col., U.S. Army, MA, Professor and Chair,
Department of Military Science
Completion of the program can lead to an officer's commission in the U.S. Army, Army National Guard, or U.S. Army Reserve.
The program consists of the basic course (freshman and sophomore years) and the advsmced course (middler, junior and senior years). It does not conflict with co-op schedules.
Enrollment in the basic course is voluntary and is open to all full-time students who are United States citizens. Students in the basic course do not incur a military obligation.
The advanced course is open to all qualified students who meet these prerequisites: completion of the basic course (or approved equivalent), or prior honorable military service; physical aptitude and medical requirements; and age requirements. Advanced course students receive a $100-per-month stipend, up to $1,000 per year. They are also paid for the six-week advanced camp normally attended between their junior and senior years. Uniforms are issued to cadets without cost except for a refundable uniform deposit.
Full-time students meeting specific requirements may apply for scholarships covering their last four, three, or two academic years. These are merit-based scholarships, and a student's earnings during cooperative work periods do not reduce scholarship payments. The Army ROTC scholarship pays 80 percent of the student's tuition and provides an allowance for textbooks and laboratory fees, plus an additional living allowance of $100 per month, up to $1,000 for each year the scholar- ship is in effect. 1 Transfer students, whether or not previously enrolled in ROTC, are welcomed to join the
program. They should contact the Department of Military Science concerning their options for program enrollment. Honorably discharged veterans (enlisted) are a vital part of our cadet corps and will receive special consideration for ROTC enrollment.
Air Force James L. Frey, Lt. Col., U.S. Air Force, MPA, Professor and Chair,
Department of Aerospace Studies, Boston University
The Air Force Reserve Officers' Training Corps (AFROTC) program offers students an opportunity to earn a commission in the United States Air Force. The student is commissioned as a second lieutenant upon completion of both the aerospace studies (AS) curriculum and the requirements for an undergraduate or graduate degree. AFROTC classes and leadership laboratories are conducted on the Boston University campus. For more information, write the Department of Aerospace Studies, Boston University, 118 Bay State Road, Boston, MA 02215- 1796, or call 617-353-4705.
The AFROTC program offers a four-year and a two-year program. Undergraduates may join the four-year AFROTC program by registering for the appropriate aerospace studies classes. Students from all academic disciplines, including five-year co-op, may register. Preferred entry is the first quarter of the first year, although students may enter as late as November of the sophomore year.
Academic coursework focuses on the functions and organizations of the Air Force, military history with an emphasis on the use of airpower, management techniques, and international relations and the impact policies have on the defense establishment. In addition, weekly leadership laboratories introduce students to Air Force customs. The Air Force uniform and AFROTC books are provided to the student free of charge except for a refundable uniform deposit.
Participation in AFROTC by nonscholarship students during the first two years of the four-year program carries no commitment to serve in the Air Force. The nonfljdng commissioned graduate incurs a four-year active duty service commitment. Navigators incur a six-year post-training commitment, and pilots incur a ten-year post-training commitment.
Prerequisites for entry into the two-year program include at least six remaining academic quarters of undergraduate or graduate study, meeting Air Force physical standards, good moral character, and successful completion of six weeks of field training. Prospective two-year program members should contact the University AFROTC detachment no later than December of the sophomore year.
Two scholarship programs are available. High school seniors may apply for the Four-Year Scholarship Program before December 1 of their senior year through a local Air Force Recruiter. The College Scholarship Program is available to freshmen and sophomore students. Students who attend AFROTC classes in the fall quarter of their freshman year are eligible for 2- to 3 1/2-year scholarships; others are eligible for two-year scholarships.
Navy Michael E. Field, Captain, U.S. Navy, MA, Professor and Chair,
Department of Naval Science, Boston University
The Naval Reserve Officers' Training Corps (NROTC) Nurse program provides an opportunity for a commission as a naval officer in the Nurse Corps. Nursing students at Northeastern may enroll in
20 The University
Honors Program
Honors Scholarships
the NROTC Nurse program with the Department of Naval Science at Boston University.
Anyone wishing to contact NROTC should write to or call the office of the Commanding Officer, NROTC Unit, Boston University, 116 Bay State Road, Boston, MA 022 15- 1796, 617-353-4232/2535.
NROTC has two basic programs: the scholarship program and the college program. The scholar- ship program provides full tuition, books and fees, and a $100 per month stipend for four or two years of instruction at Northeastern University. These scholarships are granted as a result of annual nationwide competition. The college program provides students with naval science texts, uniforms, and a $100 per month stipend during the last two academic years. Full-tuition scholar- ships may be awarded to selected applicants who have been active in the college program for at least one semester. Applications for the college program are made through the Department of Naval Science at Boston University.
A two-year program is available for sophomores/middlers who do not join NROTC by the start of their sophomore year. Both scholarship and college program options are available; selection for this program takes place in the spring, and all applications must be submitted by late February of the sophomore year.
To be eligible for the Naval ROTC program, students must meet citizenship, age, and physical fitness requirements and be enrolled in a program leading to a nursing baccalaureate degree.
The NROTC program requires completion of both the academic major, including three quarters of English composition, and the naval science curriculum, and participation in leadership laborato- ries (two hours a week during the school year) and indoctrination tours conducted at Navy/Marine Corps facilities.
The NROTC Nurse program also requires some professional training, depending on the program and the time of entry. This training occurs during summer "cruises" of four to six weeks each for scholarship students, and one "cruise" of four to six weeks for college program students.
Upon graduation and completion of NROTC requirements, scholarship students are obligated to serve on active duty for four years, college program students for three years.
The University invites qualified students in each of its colleges to participate in a comprehensive honors program designed to foster and recognize superior intellectual development and achieve- ments. Based on criteria established by an individual college for its own majors, students may be invited into the program as they enter the University or at any time during their college careers.
Various special limited-enrollment sections of many first- and second-year courses are offered for honors students. Other courses have been organized to permit students to undertake individual advanced-level work and to receive an honors designation on their transcripts.
Honors seminars on interdisciplinary subjects are open to honors students as part of their course load or as a free overload. Junior-senior honors programs, based on individual or small-group research projects under the direction of distinguished faculty, are available to qualified students.
Honors and standard sections of courses are usually equivalent in terms of satisfying degree requirements and are distinguished by course number. For example, the honors section of ECN 1115 is ECN 1715; for PHY 1100 it is PHL 1700. An updated hst of offerings is available in the Honors Program Office and also appears in the registrar's course listings.
There are two types of honors courses. Honors within a standard course are activity courses that allow students to substitute special work for some of the standard assignments within the course. Honors outside a standard course are adjunct courses that carry an additional 1 quarter-hour credit so that students receive two grades: one in the standard course and one in the honors adjunct. This 1 quarter-hour course can only be taken with another standard course and represents the enriched work that makes the entire 5 quarter-hour honors course. Activity and adjunct courses only appear on the listing in the Honors Program Office. Because they do not carry separate numbers, activity and adjunct courses do not appear as honors-level in the registrar's course listings. Honors courses may be taken as a free overload. Criteria for free overloads are available in the Honors Program Office.
For more information on honors courses, how to qualify to take courses, and other aspects of the program, contact the Honors Program Office at 617-437-2333 or drop by 1 Nightingale Hall.
Ambassador Awards. The University offers five half-tuition scholarships for exceptional academic achievement to non-U. S. citizens for the freshman year (September through June). The Ambassador Awards are given to freshmen enrolled in a full-time day academic program and are not renewable.
Dr. Ralph J. Bunche Scholars Program. Northeastern honors the late Dr. Ralph J. Bunche, Nobel laureate and former undersecretary of the United Nations, by awarding ten scholarships annually to African- American students who have outstanding records of academic achievement and leadership. The Bunche awards are full-tuition scholarships in the freshman year and half-tuition grants in the remaining years of study, provided that the student maintains a superior scholastic average.
Honors Program 21
Carl S. Ell Presidential Scholarship Program. This program was established to recognize some of the University's finest incoming students and to foster the continuation of their superior academic performance.
Each year a hmited number of freshmen who have records from high school that exhibit excep- tional promise are selected for this academic achievement award. Criteria for selection include high school records indicating a college preparatory program, class rank, grade-point average, extracur- ricular activities, community service, letters of recommendation from guidance counselors, £ind SAT or ACT test scores.
The Ell Scholars are awarded full freshman-year tuition scholarships. Those who continue to maintain a superior scholastic average and to make a strong contribution to the University's academic and social life during their upperclass years at Northeastern are awarded half-tuition grants for each subsequent year.
In addition to the awarding of financial assistance, the scholars are provided with a number of opportunities to engage in intellectual exchange on campus.
The application deadline for the program is January 1. In most cases, students are notified of their selection as Ell Scholars before February 1.

Special note. In assessing quarter weights for courses, the following statement applies: One quarter-hour of credit is equal to 50 minutes of instruction per week, plus two hours of preparation.
The Scheduling Office, 126 Hayden Hall, maintains all quarter-hour weights for courses. In the event of error in any publication, the academic record will reflect the correct quarter-hours applicable to any degree requirement.
Some course titles may change, but the course number remains the same. Be sure you do not register for a course you have already taken.
All middlers (that is, students who have earned 80-h quarter hours including non co-op students) must complete this graduation requirement at Northeastern. The requirement should preferably be completed before students accrue 144 quarter hours. Successful completion of Freshman English is a prerequisite to the MYWR. Students fulfill the Middler-Year Writing Requirement in one of two ways, depending on the requirements of their college: 1) complete a four quarter-hour MYWR course with a grade of C (2.0) or better; or 2 ) pass a one quarter-hour Writing Workshop (pass/fail). No transferred course from another university may satisfy this requirement.
This University requirement is designed to help students improve their writing for major courses and in their workplaces. The eight courses are therefore interdisciplinary so that students may write in subjects related to their major. For additional information, students may contact the English department, 406 Holmes Hall, 617-437-2512.

A broad study of disciplines in the arts and sciences is the core of higher education. Most students in the University — no matter what career training they choose — devote a substantial portion of their studies to the arts and sciences.
The college as a whole emphasizes general education through the college core curriculum. In addition, a large number of interdisciplinary and extradisciplinary programs are available. These include national and international exchange programs for study and experience; programs in field settings at sea and abroad; and programs involving affiliations in such areas as professional performing arts organizations, media organizations, and government offices.
In most programs, students may choose a four-year, full-time track or the five-year co-op plan. The five-year plan offers opportunities for paid employment, often in an area related to the student's chosen academic area. Students are normally eligible to participate in co-op when they become sophomores.
Students may enter the college with a specified major or with an unspecified liberal arts major preference (LAMP). Students in the LAMP program, however, must declare a major by the end of the freshman year. Considerable flexibility exists, and many students change majors during the first two yearsThe college offers a bachelor of arts degree and a bachelor of science degree in most programs. In general, the bachelor of arts degree requires more college core curriculum courses as well as a foreign language. The bachelor of science degree requires fewer core curriculum courses but more work in the specific major.
Many programs are flexible enough to allow students to pursue a double major. To do so, students must complete requirements for both majors.
The college also offers the option of an independent major for students whose interests and goals are not met by a specific major program. Interested students should consult a counselor in the dean's office after their sophomore year.
In order to make normal progress, students in the College of Arts and Sciences are expected to maintain a minimum cumulative quality-point average of 2.0 and to earn 16 quarter hours of credit each quarter. For fiirther details, refer to the College of Arts and Sciences Guidebook available from the dean's office, 400 Meserve Hall.
Graduation Requirements Quantitative. Candidates for either the bachelor of arts or bachelor of science degree must
successfully complete 176 quarter hours. In addition, only 4 quarter hours of physical education and no ROTC credits may be used to meet this requirement.
Residency. Candidates must complete either 75 percent of the degree credit { 132 quarter hours) or the last three full quarters (a minimum of 12 four-credit courses ) in the Northeastern University Basic Day Colleges.
Qualitative. Candidates must achieve a minimum cumulative average of 2.0 (grade of C).
Transfer credit. Transfer credit is granted initially only for comparable courses given in the University's full-time day colleges. In the first quarter in residence, students may petition for additional transfer credit. No transfer credit will be granted for courses in which the student received lower than a C (2.0) grade or for courses in which a pass/fail grade was received. For courses in progress at the time of a transfer student's application, an updated transcript showing grades must be submitted in order for transfer credit to be granted.
Core curriculum. The College of Arts and Sciences core curriculum is required of all students. The core curriculum is a set of requirements intended to provide students with the opportunity to gain the broad base of knowledge traditionally associated with a liberal arts education. The core allows students to develop proficiency in basic skills; to be exposed to methods of inquiry in the various subjects and disciplines in the arts and humanities, the social sciences, and the natural sciences and mathematics; and to become acquainted with ideas in Western culture, differing views in non-Western cultures, and major issues and problems facing contemporary society.
26 Academic Programs and Curriculum Guide
The core curriculum consists of six categories :
Category I Basic Skills
■ Freshman English (two or three courses)
■ College mathematics
■ Modem language through Intermediate 2 level (required of all BA candidates)
Category II Methods of Inquiry Category III The Western Cultural Heritage Category IV Alternative Cultures and Societies Category V Theoretical Perspectives and Changes Category VI Current Issues in Perspective
For placement information on freshman English, college mathematics, or modem languages, students should consult the Office of the Dean, 400 Meserve Hall, or the appropriate department. Placement criteria are published in The College of Arts and Sciences Guidebook .
Descriptions for all College of Arts and Sciences courses begin on page 100. Courses approved for the College's core curriculum have Roman numerals in parentheses at the end of the descriptions to indicate the appropriate core curriculum categories for each core course. Students are required to complete courses in each category of the core, depending on the major and degree pursued. The College of Arts and Sciences Guidebook, available in the Office of the Dean, 400 Meserve Hall, provides a list of courses that may be used to fulfill each category requirement.
Foreign language. All bachelor of arts degree candidates must show proficiency in a modern foreign language by earning a passing grade in Intermediate 2 level of a college course or by meeting a comparable criterion approved by the Department of Modem Languages.
Conditional exemption from this requirement may be granted to students who earned an average of C or better in a full, four-year language sequence in secondary school. A conditional exemption must be confirmed by taking a proficiency examination during the first quarter at the University. A sufficiently high score will verify the exemption; otherwise, the student will be advised of the appropriate language course to take in the following quarter.
Absolute exemption is granted to students for whom English is a foreign language or who receive a score of 550 or better in the Language Achievement Examinations.
The normal sequence for students with no prior preparation is two quarters of elementary-level language and two quarters of intermediate-level language. The Department of Modem Languages will determine an appropriate entry point at which students who have partial language prepara- tion may begin completing the requirement. Students who plan to use Russian or Italian to fulfill the foreign language requirement should begin study as early as possible; the college is not able to offer these courses on a regular basis.
Middler-year writing requirement. The middler-year writing requirement may not be fulfill 2d until the student has successfully completed at least 80 quarter hours (including transfer credit) and should preferably be completed before 144 quarter hours. The requirement must be fulfilled at Northeastern. The College of Arts and Sciences strongly recommends intermediate writing (ENG 1350) to complete the MYWR. Students may, however, also satisfy the requirement by completing a four-credit writing course from the approved MYWR list (found in the College of Arts and Sciences Guidebook ) with a grade of C or better or, with special permission, a one-credit writing workshop (ENG 1340). Students not participating in the cooperative education program complete the MYWR in their junior year.

Social Welfare
A major in this area exposes students to the experiences of African- American people and others of African descent. The curriculum reflects an interdisciplinary approach including historical, social/ behavioral, and cultural studies. International studies and public policy are integral parts of the program. Students apply theoretical knowledge to real world problems and concerns.
Students with training in African-American Studies will have skills to meet the challenges posed by the diversity of racial, cultural, and ethnic groups in the United States and abroad. Graduates often attend professional schools and teach at the secondary or college level. Others work in museums, libraries, research centers, social service agencies, business, public service, and social welfare and law enforcement agencies.

One course on the Black experience outside the United States. One additional elective selected by the student in consultation with a departmental adviser.
By becoming an ASL-English interpreter, a student not only becomes acquainted with the culture of deaf America but also participates in the discovery that there exists a complete language used by large numbers of people which had been previously unrecognized and unstudied.
Mastering American Sign Language ( ASL) permits students to enter a different culture, and, tangentially, to appreciate a new historical perspective. Because the language is modally different from the students' native tongue, its study also dramatically highlights features of spoken lan- guage that students take for granted. This heightens their sense of how powerful language is and how it shapes their world. In this general sense, the mastery of ASL sharpens critical thinking skills.
American Sign Language courses are also integral to two other degree programs: human services with a specialization in deaf studies, and linguistics with a focus on ASL.
Owing to recent federal legislation, interpreting opportunities are increasing. The program provides a firm foundation in language, linguistics, culture, and interpreting, plus a broad-based liberal arts education. Graduates work as interpreters in such different and challenging areas as higher education, advanced technology, and theatre. Some interpreters take staff positions while others prefer to freelance.

The visual arts are our oldest form of artistic expression. The use and understanding of visual language is an increasingly necessary part of contemporary education. The department aims to:
■ introduce art and architecture both as history and as creative activity;
■ offer a focused study of the visual arts through critical examination of both the language and content of art and architecture in the context of a particular historical period, or through the hands- on experience of a studio setting;
■ offer a solid academic foundation for a career in art, architecture, graphic design or related fields. A main resource of the department is Boston itself. The city's architecture spans 300 years, its
museums are world famous, its galleries and cinemas offer the latest in their respective areas, and its public library is one of the finest public libraries in the country. Teaching students to use these resources systematically is an all-embracing aim of the department.
The department helps prepare students for careers in architecture, graphic design, photography, and the teaching of the history and practice of art. Cooperative education work assignments for majors include positions in architectural and design firms, museums, libraries, historical collec- tions, and archives.

Biochemistry includes nearly the entire spectrum of science— from physics and chemistry to biology and health care. The biochemistry major, sponsored jointly by the departments of biology and chemistry, provides a strong foundation in mathematics and the physical sciences.
Biochemists are working to decipher the information stored in human chromosomes. What they learn will be used to pinpoint the genetic causes of many diseases. The biochemistry major helps students prepare to work in research on such diseases as AIDS, cancer, and AJzheimer's; genetic engineering; and environmental clean-up.
A bachelor's degree in biochemistry allows students to enter the job market directly or to go on to graduate, medical, veterinary, dental, law, or business school. Students who wish to pursue a career directly upon graduation may find positions in biotechnology companies, drug companies, and government agencies where positions are available in laboratory research, clinical research, quality control, production, information systems, marketing, and technical sales. Students may pursue graduate study in biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, biophysics, genetics, toxicology, biotechnology, clinical chemistry, animal science, nutrition, plant pathology, and other biomedical sciences.

The biology major enables students to develop a basic understanding of the organization and the processes of life, from molecules and cells through organs and organ systems to populations, species, ecosystems, and evolution. The major offers the mathematical, chemical, and physical background to understand biology and to gain practical scientific skills associated with each of these areas. It allows students to begin to specialize in a subdiscipline of biology.
The biology major prepares students for careers in the life sciences including medical, dental, and other health-related fields. Graduate study leading to a master's or doctoral degree can open careers in upper-level teaching and research in areas such as zoology, botany, microbiology, physiology, ecology, marine biology, cell biology, molecular biology, or biochemistry. Biology majors may also pursue postgraduate training in areas such as nutrition, public health, or medical technology.
Students entering the work force directly may find employment in federal, state, industrial, hospital, or university laboratories, or in industries involved in the manufacture and distribution of pharmaceuticals, biological products, food, or scientific equipment. Biologists also work in fisher- ies, forestry services, county and state agencies, museums, aquariums, research vessels, and marine stations.
Premedical or predental students are urged to consult with the preprofessional advisory committee early in their careers at Northeastern.
The prescribed academic sequence can be followed if a student decides on the major in the freshman or sophomore year. Students who enter the major in the middler year may complete the major in the normal time by taking some electives concurrently with the biology core, or Biocore, courses. After completing the Biocore, students interested in independent research may arrange to undertake a more extensive honors program involving up to four quarters of research.
To graduate with a major in biology, a student must have a cumulative quality-point average (QPA) of 2.0 for all science and mathematics courses required for the major. The BA and BS degrees require a modem language. The BS program is more extensive in its mathematics and science requirements and may offer better preparation for some areas of postgraduate study.
The department publishes The Biology Undergraduate Advisory Book that explains the required and recommended courses and the QPA standards for biology majors. The advisory book is available in the Office of Biology, 414 Mugar Hall.

Economics studies how societies produce and distribute goods and services to satisfy their material needs. Economists analyze the process of economic growth and change and identify policies that contribute to the success or failure of this process.
The economics program helps students understand how modern economies function . Students study economics to gain a broad interest in the social sciences 2md to develop specialized skills useful in today's complex labor market. The major serves as a good foundation for graduate studies in advanced economics, public policy, law, and business.
Macroeconomics, which is concerned with the overall economy, deals with such problems as inflation, unemployment, growth and instability, economic development, and governmental monetary and fiscal policies. Microeconomics is concerned with the economic behavior of individu- als, households, firms, and industries, as well as trade among countries. It seeks to assess the economic effects of market power and environmental damage and analyzes the economic aspects of natural resources, poverty, health, income distribution, trade unions, and government regulation.
Graduates are employed in industry and banking, planning and forecasting, determining plant locations, and making financial studies. They may analyze consumer demand and develop new products. They may conduct research, teach, or provide specialized consulting services. Federal, state, and local governments, major corporations, and financial institutions are important sources of jobs for economists.

Early Childhood Education and Elementary Education
Secondary Education
General certification requirements. Effective October 1, 1994, all students seeking teaching certificates in Massachusetts at any grade level (K-12) will need a degree that consists of both a major in the arts and sciences and a program of study in education. Both are available in the College of Arts and Sciences.
As of October 1994, a two-stage teacher certification process will take effect. Students planning to teach can complete the application requirements for the first stage. Provisional Certification, while they are undergraduates.
Students who wish to obtain certification as an early childhood education teacher or an elementary education teacher should enroll in the Bachelor of Science in Education dual-major program. Advisers help the student plan an appropriate education/arts and sciences dual major. The dual major includes a major in education, a major in the arts and sciences, and distribution require- ments.

The department offers courses in creative, expository, and technical writing; linguistics; literary studies; and American and British literature.
Students who have completed the freshman English requirement and are in good academic standing may major or minor in English. The broad-based major requires proficiency in a number of approaches — including historical, generic, and theoretical — to the study of language and literature. The more narrowly focused minor gives students intensive exposure to literature, writing, linguistics, or technical communication.
English majors prepare for careers in teaching and research, advertising and publishing, radio and television — any field in which communication and critical judgment go hand in hand. The department also offers a broad intellectual and cultural fi-amework for preprofessional students in law, medicine, business, engineering, or computer science.

History's concern with the diverse and complex past of humanity provides an excellent opportunity to develop greater understanding and appreciation of today's cultures and civilizations.
Traditionally, history as a major has appealed to students desiring a broad base for careers in business, law, journalism, and government.
Other history majors want to work more directly in history. Those who want to teach in public school may elect education courses that may lead to state certification. Those desiring jobs in private secondary schools need not be certified by state authorities. Teaching positions in colleges and universities require master's degrees and, increasingly, doctorates.
Some professional historians teach and write; others work in public archives, private historical societies, museums, and restoration projects.

The School of Journalism prepares students for careers in news media and related fields. The skills it emphasizes in writing, editing, information gathering, photojournalism, and design and graphics also have broad applications in numerous other disciplines.
The school seeks to contribute to the existing body of knowledge in journalism and mass commu- nications in areas that will help news media practitioners and educators perform their jobs with increasing effectiveness. By cooperating with media and related agencies, the school sponsors professional workshops and seminars.
Northeastern journalism graduates work for some of the world's best newspapers, radio and television stations,wire services, general and specialized magazines, public relations departments, and advertising agencies.
Students can enroll in either a five-year cooperative education program or a four-year program without co-op. Cooperative education experience, however, is strongly advised. Co-op assignments with newspapers, radio and television stations, news bureaus, advertising agencies, and public relations offices provide practical laboratory experience. Such experience also offers an advantage to those who go on to graduate school.

Anthropology
Linguistics — the science of language — focuses on such issues as how children learn to speak, how we understand and produce language, and how language barriers keep people apart and language ties bring them together. The field also explores how language is structured and represented in the mind, why some people are better at acquiring a second language than others, and how sign languages differ from spoken languages.
Five departments (English, Modern Languages, Philosophy and Religion, Psychology, and Sociology /Anthropology ) collaborate to offer a comprehensive linguistics program. The major reflects the current research of linguists, sociologists, psychologists, language educators, and teachers of second languages.
A major in linguistics may be a first step in becoming a linguist, an expert on child language, an interpreter, or an expert in the production and comprehension of language by computers. Specializing

Mathematics has become the foundation and a rich source of methods for most science and technology. Mathematicians possess the skill to amalyze the crucial features of diverse problems and apply rigorous techniques to solve them. The department encourages students to develop and expand their abilities in this exact science.
Mathematical training may lead to opportunities in applied research (natural sciences, engineer- ing, economics, management, computer science) as well as mathematical research, teaching, or industry.
By the end of the sophomore year, all mathematics majors should complete the basic sequence of courses in calculus, differential equations, combinatorics, and physics (a total of eleven courses). Although a computer programming course is not required, students are expected to learn the basic programming skills necessary for numerical solutions of complex problems. Courses MTH 1301 and MTH 1311 provide a transition from the basic sequence to more advanced parts of the curricu- lum. Math majors should take MTH 1301 and MTH 13 1 1 in the middler year.
On October 1, 1994, Massachusetts will institute a two-stage teacher certification process. Students planning to teach secondary school mathematics can complete the requirements for application to the first stage. Provisional Certification, while they are undergraduates. Such students must major in mathematics and take a specific minor in education, which includes coursework and practice teaching.

The study of modem languages can benefit all students, regardless of their major. This complex world requires increased communication among varied and often divergent cultures. Understand- ing and appreciating how the members of different cultures think is critical. Language offers the key to help one achieve a more cosmopolitan, open-minded, and sensitive view of the world.
The department helps prepare students for careers in elementary school, secondary school, or college teaching; international business relations; high-tech fields; government service; journal- ism; library science; world affairs; travel; and community service, especially in Spanish-speaking areas.
The major in modern languages normally requires advanced courses in two languages: French, German, Italian, Russian, or Spanish. The first and second language requirements are minimum requirements. Students are strongly encouraged to go beyond them, and even to pursue a third language. Students planning to study Russian or Italian should begin courses as early as possible; these courses are not offered on a regular basis.
Ten courses, including ENG 1118, Introduction to Language and Linguistics, and LNF 1512, Masterpieces of Modern European Fiction; one or both masterpieces courses (123 1 and 1232) in the language; and six or seven additional upper-level departmental courses in the language, no more than two of which may be courses in translation.
Language proficiency: Students must demonstrate language proficiency by completing language courses through the 1202 level or above in both the major and the minor language. Students wishing to pursue a nonlanguage minor may petition the department.

Music 43
The department aims to foster appreciation of music by enabling students to understand and intelligently evaluate musical compositions.
Courses are offered in general appreciation, music theory, the history of music (both Western and non- Western), applied music lessons, and the music industry. Performing ensembles provide the opportunity for first-hand experience with music studied in the classroom. An extensive concert series offers a variety of performances by faculty, students and guest artists. Hands-on musical training is reinforced by a piano laboratory, an electronic music laboratory, and a listening center.
Music majors prepare for a vifide range of professions, including performance, teaching, church music, arts administration, composition, music therapy, broadcasting, and studio production.
The broadly based curriculum allows students to concentrate in music while acquiring a comprehensive education in the humanities and sciences. The music literature concentration focuses on music analysis from theoretical and historical perspectives. The music industry concentration combines music analysis with courses on various aspects of the business. The music literature and performance concentration combines scholarly work with advanced instrumental instruction.

Philosophy includes questions and theories related to art, religion, morality, society, and natural and social sciences. Its study challenges students to examine their beliefs in many areas through critical reflection.
Through readings, discussion, and writing, students examine questions concerning the nature and validity of religious beliefs, moral judgments, and scientific theories, as well as questions of values and social policy in such areas as law, medicine, and technology.
Courses will ideally strengthen the student's work in other areas and provide an understanding of the methods and traditions of philosophical and religious thought. A major in philosophy may help students sharpen their critical abilities in preparation for graduate or professional study. Philosophy majors go on to diverse careers.
The program helps students acquire an understanding of religious experience in both its individual and cultural expressions. Classes look at specific religions as well as the mythical, mystical, and cultural dimensions of religious experience. Although a major is not offered, the program offers a solid introduction to religious studies through introductory and intermediate-level courses.

Psychology explores human and animal behavior and the way people think. An interdisciplinary science, psychology includes methods and knowledge derived from the other natural and social sciences.
The psychology curriculum explores such topics as how brain function determines behavior; how we see, hear, and learn; what is abnormal personality; how people develop emotionally and cognitively; and how individuals work in groups. The curriculum offers opportunities for laboratory practice and experimentation, individual research projects, and small-group seminars to encour- age critical evaluation of psychology's accomplishments and its future.
By building a solid scientific background in psychology, the curriculum helps prepare students for careers in teaching, business, public service, and research. The curriculum also provides the basics for entrance to graduate programs in experimental, clinical, and educational psychology; law; and medicine.
The bachelor of arts degree is intended for students who wish to pursue a broad liberal arts education that explores the humanities, social sciences, and, to a lesser extent, natural sciences. The bachelor of science degree is more specialized and is usually recommended for students who have a strong scientific interest in psychology and the natural sciences. For students planning later graduate study in psychology, or for combining psychology with another interest such as premedi- cal training, the department recommends pursuing a BS degree.

Sociology and anthropology provide a critical perspective for studying the social arrangements in which people live. Various theories and research methods are presented for understanding how societies function and the conditions under which they change. The critical perspective emphasizes the aspects of society that account for the regulation of human action and those that account for resistance and opposition. The major topics offered are gender, race and ethnicity, cities, sources of social conflict, law and crime, intercultural relations, technology and the environment, and the comparative analysis of societies.
A major in sociology or anthropology helps prepare students for careers in public or private service and research. Sociology and anthropology provide a good basis in theory and method- ology for graduate training in academic research or careers in teaching, social work, or public administration. Courses can be useful for students in premedical, prelegal, paramedical, or other preprofessional programs.

This five-year bachelor of science in education program is designed for students interested in careers as athletic trainers. The athletic trainer plays an important role in organized sports. An important link between the athlete, the coach, and the physician, the athletic trainer provides services in preventing, treating, and rehabilitating sports injuries.
The athletic trainer's duties include advising on proper conditioning techniques to help reduce injury, assessing the severity of injuries that do occur, appljdng therapeutic modalities to aid the healing process, and supervising post-injury rehabilitation programs. Athletic trainers work in sports medicine and with secondary school, college, and professional athletic teams.
Students may petition for acceptance into the athletic training program after successfully completing their first year of academic study. To be accepted into the program, applicants must maintain at least a 1.85 quality-point average during their second year. Students must achieve a grade of C (2.00) or better in all professional courses and all basic science courses. In order to complete the athletic training program, students must complete a minimum of 1,000 hours' work with athletic teams in approved settings.
The program is approved by the National Athletic Trainers Association. Students who graduate from the athletic training program are eligible to sit for the National Athletic Trainers Association Certification Examination. Upon passing the examination, an individual may apply for Massachu- setts licensure in athletic training.
