It is a small college by deliberate policy. Its present enrollment is about 1,400 men and women stu­ dents. T h e borough o f Swarthmore is a resi­ dential suburb within half an hour’s commut­ ing distance of Philadelphia. College students are able to enjoy both the advantages of near­ by rural settings and the opportunities offered by Philadelphia. T h e College’s location also makes possible cooperation with three nearby institutions, Bryn Mawr and Haverford col­ leges and the University o f Pennsylvania. OBJECTIVES AND PURPOSES Swarthmore students are expected to prepare themselves for full, balanced lives as individu­ als and as responsible citizens through exacting intellectual study supplemented by a varied program o f sports and other extracurricular activities. T h e purpose o f Swarthmore College is to make its students more valuable human beings and more useful members o f society. Although it shares this purpose with other edu­ cational institutions, each school, college, and university seeks to realize that purpose in its own way. Swarthmore seeks to help its students realize their fullest intellectual and personal potential combined with a deep sense o f ethi­ cal and social concern. VARIETIES OF EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE Education is largely an individual matter, for no two students are exactly alike. T h e Swarth­ more College curriculum is designed to give recognition to this fact and seeks to evoke the maximum effort and development from each student. T h e Swarthmore College,Honors pro­ gram offers additional enriching and exciting intellectual experiences to students who choose to prepare for evaluation by examiners from other colleges and universities. Through­ out the curriculum, options for independent study and interdisciplinary work offer opportu­ nities for exploration and development over a wide range o f individual goals. These opportu­ nities typically include considerable flexibility o f program choices from semester to semester, so that academic planning may be responsive to the emerging needs o f students. THE RELIGIOUS TRADITION Swarthmore College was founded by members o f the Religious So ciety o f Friends (the Quakers). Although it has been nonsectarian in control since 1908, and although Friends now compose a small minority of the student body, the faculty, and the administration, the College still values highly many of the princi­ ples o f that Society. Foremost among these principles is the individual’s responsibility for seeking and applying truth and for testing whatever truth one believes one has found. As a way o f life, Quakerism emphasizes hard work, simple living, and generous giving as well as personal integrity, social justice, and the peace­ ful settlement of disputes. T h e College does not seek to impose on its students this Quaker view of life or any other specific set of convic­ tions about the nature of things and the duties o f human beings. It does, however, encourage ethical and religious concern about such mat­ ters and continuing examination of any view that may be held regarding them. TRADITION AND CHANGE A college draws strength from tradition and energy from the necessity o f change. Its pur­ poses and policies must respond to new condi­ tions and new demands. By being open to change, Swarthmore tries to provide for its stu­ dents, by means appropriate to the times, the standard o f excellence it has sought to main­ tain from its founding. 9 Educational Resources T h e primary educational resources o f any col­ lege are the quality o f its faculty and the spirit of the institution. Financial as well as physical resources play an important supportive role. THE ENDOWMENT T h e educational resources at Swarthmore College have been provided by gifts and bequests from many alumni, foundations, cor­ porations, parents, and friends. In addition to unrestricted gifts for the operating budget, these donors have contributed funds for build­ ings, equipment, collections o f art and litera­ ture, and permanently endowed professorships, scholarships, awards, book funds, and lecture­ ships. T heir gifts to Swarthmore have not only provided the physical plant but also have cre­ ated an endowment fund o f $964 million at market value on June 30, 2000. Swarthmore ranks 12 th in the country in endowment per student. Income from the endowment during the academic year 1 9 9 9 -2 0 0 0 contributed approximately $ 2 3 ,9 0 0 to m eet the total expense o f educating each student and provid­ ed about 3 4 percent of the College’s operating revenues. T h e College’s ability to continue to offer a high quality of education depends on continu­ ing voluntary support. Swarthmore seeks addi­ tional gifts and bequests for its current opera­ tions, its permanent endowment, and its capi­ tal development programs to maintain and strengthen its resources. T h e vice president in charge of development will be pleased to pro­ vide information about various forms o f gifts: bequests, outright gifts o f cash or securities, real estate or other property, and deferred gifts through charitable remainder trusts and life income contracts in which the donor reserves the right to the annual income during his or her lifetime. LIBRARIES T h e College Library is an active participant in the instructional and research program of the College. T h e primary mission o f the library is to instruct students in effective, efficient use of the library and to encourage them to develop 10 habits o f self-education so that they may use books, libraries, and recorded communication in all forms for a lifetime o f intellectual devel­ opment. To this end, the library acquires and organizes books, journals, audiovisuals, and electronic information in a variety o f digital and other formats for the use of students and faculty. Although the library’s collections are geared primarily toward undergraduate instruc­ tion, the scope, nature, and depth o f student and faculty research require providing a greater quantity of source materials than is typically found in undergraduate libraries. Further needs are met through interlibrary loan, document delivery, and other cooperative arrangements. T h e Swarthmore College libraries together with those o f Bryn Mawr and Haverford col­ leges are linked through Tripod, their shared on-line catalog. Tripod as well as other net­ worked information sources can be accessed through the library’s home page on the World Wide W eb. T h e U R L is http://www.swarthmore.edu/library. O n-line bibliographic indices and full-text databases have become increas­ ingly important to undergraduate research. Swarthmore College provides a growing selec­ tion o f research databases (currently about 150) that provide access to historical, statisti­ cal, visual, and bibliographic information. The College continues to add to its already consid­ erable digital library o f e-journals (more than 5000) in all disciplines. Total library holdings amount to more than 800.000 volumes with some 20,000 volumes added annually. T h e library receives about 1,900 print periodicab. T h e College partici­ pates in th e Federal and Pennsylvania Depository Library Program and selects those government documents most appropriate to the needs o f the curriculum and the public and catalogs them in Tripod. T h e library abo hous­ es an extensive audiovbual collection, includ­ ing 4 ,000 videotapes and DVDs; more than 13.000 music recordings, and 1,400 spoken word recordings. T h e video collection supports all disciplines and includes U .S. and foreign classic films as well as documentary and exper­ imental films. T h e collections are housed in three libraries. T h e Thomas B. and Jeannette L. McCabe Library is the center o f the college library sys­ tem and is home to the major portion o f the collection s, extensive public computing resources, a wide variety o f reading and study areas, a video classroom with conferencing facilities and administrative offices. A recent renovation has added a small coffee bar, which is located near daily papers and other light reading materials. T h e Cornell Library o f Science and Engineer­ ing houses nearly 60,000 volumes and serves the scientific curricular and research needs of students and faculty. It also provides public computing resources and is home to the SW IL Science Fiction Collection. T he Daniel Underhill Music Library contains 20,000 books on music and dance as well as the sound recordings mentioned earlier. It provides a wide variety of listening and viewing facili­ ties, which overlook the Crum Woods. A small collection of relevant material is located in the Black Cultural Center. Special Library C ollections T he College Library contains certain special collections: B ritish A m erican a, accounts of British travelers in the U nited States; the works o f English poets Wordsworth and Thomson bequeathed to the library by Edwin H . W ells; the works o f Seam us H eaney, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, 1995; the W. H. A u den C o llection comm emorating the English poet who taught at Swarthmore in the mid-1940s; the B athe C ollection o f the history of technology donated by Greville Bathe; and the Private Press C ollection , representing the work of more than 680 presses, an exemplary collection o f “book arts.” The A udiovisual C ollection with 3,160 video­ tapes and discs and 1,400 spoken word record­ ings on disc and tape includes contemporary writers reading from and discussing their works; full-length versions o f Shakespearean plays (both videocassettes and audiodiscs) and other dramatic literature; the literature o f earlier periods read both in modem English and in the pronunciation o f the time; recordings o f liter­ ary programs held at Swarthmore; and video­ recordings o f U .S . and foreign classic feature films as well as educational, documentary, and experimental films. These materials support all areas of study and are housed in all three libraries with the appropriate subjects. W ithin the M cCabe Library building are two special libraries that enrich the academic back­ ground of the College: T he Friends H istorical Library, founded in 1871 by Anson Lapham, is one of the outstanding collections in the United States o f manu­ scripts, books, pamphlets, and pictures relating to the history of the Society of Friends. T h e library is a depository for records o f Friends Meetings belonging to Baltimore, New York, Philadelphia, and other Yearly Meetings. More than 10,000 record books, dating from the 1670s until the present, have been deposited. Additional records are available on microfilm. T h e William Wade Hinshaw Index to Quaker Meeting Records lists material o f genealogical interest. Special collections include materials on various subjects of Quaker concern such as abolition, Indian rights, utopian reform, and the history of women’s rights. Notable among the other holdings are the W hittier Collection (first editions and manuscripts o f Jo h n G reenleaf W hittier, the Quaker poet), the M ott manuscripts (more than 500 autograph letters o f Lucretia M o tt, antislavery and women’s rights leader), and the Hicks manu­ scripts (more than 40 0 letters of Elias Hicks, a prominent Quaker minister). T h e library’s col­ lection of books and pamphlets by and about Friends numbers more than 43,000 volumes. More than 200 Quaker periodicals are current­ ly received. There is also an extensive collec­ tion of photographs o f meetinghouses and pic­ tures o f representative Friends and Quaker activities as well as a number o f oil paintings, including “T h e Peaceable Kingdom” by Edward Hicks. It is hoped that Friends and oth­ ers will consider the advantages of giving to this library any books and family papers that may throw light on the history of the Society of Friends. T he Sw arthm ore C ollege P eace C ollection is of special interest to research students seeking the records of the peace movement. T h e records of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom and the personal papers of Jane Addams o f Hull-House, Chicago, formed the original nucleus o f the C ollection (1930).

Literatures, Econom ics, and Sociology/ Anthropology Departments— demonstrates that a new building with award-winning archi­ tectural design can be integrated into an estab­ PHYSICAL FACILITIES lished campus. W hen Swarthmore College opened in the fall o f 1869, it consisted o f one building— Parrish Hall— set on farmland serving 199 students. Today, it encompasses more than 4 0 buildings used by 1,350 students on 3 3 0 acres. T h e College provides an impressive range of m odem facilities for students’ intellectual growth, cultural enrichm ent, and physical and social development. A t the same time, it main­ tains an intimate campus exemplifying the concept o f academic study in an idyllic setting. Intellectual Growth Parrish H all, the original College building, still lies at the heart o f the campus with classroom buildings clustered around it. T h e second old­ est building on campus, T rotter H all, was com­ pletely renovated and reopened in 1997. Today, in a building that respects the past but embraces m odem technology and design, Trotter provides the space for the History, Political Science, and Classics departments; the Center for Social and Policy Studies; pro­ grams in W om en’s Studies, Black Studies, and Asian Studies; the W riting Center; and sever­ al classrooms and seminar rooms. A t the center 12 N ext door to Kohlberg lies the Lang Perform ing A rts C en ter, home to the English, Dance, and T heater departments. Although most o f the spaces in this building provide for cultural enrichm ent (more about that later), class­ rooms and offices are found on the second and third floors. H icks, B eardsley, and P earson H alls are clustered together on the north end o f the academic campus, forming with Trotter Hall a quadran­ gle now known as the Nason Garden. Hicks is home to the Engineering Department and con­ tains laboratories, with several equipped for computer-assisted and -controlled experimen­ tation. Beardsley, renovated in 1990, houses the A rt Department; Pearson, renovated in 1998, is home to the Linguistics, Education, and Religion departments. Cothpleting the cluster o f north campus academic buildings is P apasjan H all, which houses the Psychology and Philosophy departments. Renovation studies were conducted in 1998 on Martin H all and D uPont S cience Building, two buildings devoted to the sciences. T h e College is embarking on a major project to create a uni­ fied science center with modem laboratories for the Physics and Astronomy, Chemistry, M athem atics and Statistics, Biology, and Computer Science departments. Construction of this new facility began in 2001. In 1999, the Martin G reenhouse was renovated so it can support a broader research program. Sfrroul O bservatory, with its 2 4 'in ch visual refracting telescope, is the center o f fundamen­ tal research in multiple star systems, and a 24inch reflecting telescope on Papazian Hall is used for solar and stellar spectroscopy. In the management, design, and construction of all physical facilities, the College recognizes the importance o f employing environmentally sound practices, acknowledging its commit­ ment to current and future societies. A n exam­ ple o f Swarfhmore’s commitment to sustain­ ability is the biostream bed, located between M cCabe Library and W illets Hall and designed to filter runoff from upper-campus building roofs. Inform ation Technology Services (IT S ), with offices located in Beardsley H all, provides com ­ puting and telecommunication resources and support to all faculty, registered students, and College staff. Academic computing resources comprise several components: a number of U N IX servers managed by the Computing Center, a network o f SU N Sparc workstations in the Computer Science Department, a net­ work o f HP workstations in the Engineering Department, a Power M acintosh lab in the Mathematics Department, and software servers in the Chem istry and the Physics and Astronomy departments. A specialized multimedia facility in Beardsley gives faculty a place to try out new technology and create presenta­ tions and multimedia projects for their courses. Servers running Oracle and S C T Banner are used for the College’s administrative data man­ agement needs. Fiber optic cabling ties these components together into a campuswide net­ work. T h e campus network is linked to the Internet, allowing communication and data access on a global scale. Power M acintosh computers are available in public areas in Beardsley, DuPont, Kohlberg, and M cCabe and Cornell libraries. Virtually every adm inistrative and faculty office is equipped with computers. Students may con­ nect M acintosh or Windows computers to the campus network from their rooms. A ny Macintosh connected to the network can be used to gain access to electronic mail, bulletin boards, the World Wide Web, Tripod (the library system shared with Bryn Mawr College and Haverford College), and a variety of soft­ ware programs. Windows computers connected to the campus network from residence hall rooms have access to the World Wide Web, electronic mail, and Tripod. Copies of several commonly used commercial software packages are available on a restricted basis on the public-area hard drives or on file servers connected to the network. Som e of these file servers also contain an assortment of shareware and public domain software. A computer repair service is located in Beardsley. T h e College Bookstore sells a vari­ ety o f software at very reasonable prices. T he repair service provides on-campus repair ser­ vices for student-owned computers. T h e Telecommunications Department o f the Computing Center provides telephone and voice-mail services to faculty, staff, and stu­ dents. Every student residing in a college dor­ mitory room is provided with a private tele­ phone and personal telephone number as well as a voice-mail account. Long-distance calling is available to students. Assistance with the use o f the College’s com­ puting resources is available on several levels. Students may seek help from student consul­ tants who are available most o f the day and night, seven days a week. Faculty may seek assistance through a Help Desk or through IT S staff assigned to their respective division for curricular support. Cultural Enrichment T he Lang M usic Building, opened in 1973, con­ tains an auditorium seating nearly 400 while providing an expansive view into the Crum Woods. It also is home to the D aniel U nderhill M usic L ibrary, classrooms, practice and rehearsal rooms, and an exhibition area. It is the central facility for the Music Department and for musical activities at the College. Greatly enhancing performance venues, the Eugene M . and T heresa Lang Perform ing Arts C en ter (LPA C) opened in 1991. T h e building contains P earson-H all T heater, with a seating capacity o f 825. T h e theater can be divided with a 40-ton movable soundproof wall, which is raised and lowered hydraulically. W hen raised, the space may be used simultaneously as 13 Educational Resources a cinem a theater seating more than 30 0 and a theater space o f about equal seating capacity. T h e stage o f the theater may also be trans­ formed from its traditional configuration into a thrust stage. O n the lower level o f the LPA C is another more intim ate theater, the Frear Ensem ble T heater, a “black box” that serves as an experi­ mental and instructional studio as well as the P atricia W itky B oyer D ance Studio and D ance L ab. T his building also provides an elegant facility for changing art exhibits, student art exhibitions, and a display o f holdings o f Swarthmore College’s permanent art collec­ tion in its List Art G allery. Physical Development T h e College maintains about 80 acres o f play­ ing fields around the academic heart o f the campus to support a wide range o f sports, including rugby, field hockey, lacrosse, base­ ball, and football. Track sports are supported by both an outdoor track around the C lothier Field and indoor track in the Lam b-M iller Field H ouse, which also provides indoor basketball courts and exercise rooms. N ext to the Field House lies the Squash Court building and W are P ool, with a 50-m eter pool. Twelve outdoor tennis courts are supplemented with the newly opened M ullan Tennis C en ter, an indoor tennis and fitness pavilion. Ample open lawn areas, an integral part o f the Swarthmore College campus, accommodates and inspires a range of informal and spontaneous physical activity from Frisbee throwing to water sliding. Social Development Several residence halls are close to the core of the campus. Rooms are assigned by a lottery system. A ll students have private telephone and computer hookup capabilities in their rooms. A ll halls have common lounges for socializing, and Swarthmore’s Sharpies Dining H all provides an impressive single dining space, ensuring students have the opportunity to interact regularly a t mealtimes. Sm all dining rooms within the dining hall are frequently used for special-interest groups such as lan­ guage discussion groups. O ther student activity and organization space on campus includes Parrish Parlors in the heart o f campus; Parrish C om m ons a level up; T arble in C lothier, with a snack bar, game room, the college bookstore, a large all-campus space 14 used for dances and other events; and P aces, a student coffeehouse; the Intercultural C en ter, with both private organization space and a large meeting room for collective events; the B lack C ultural C en ter; B ond H all, home to the religious advisers and religious organizations; Sharpies 111, a student-run art association; and O lde C lu b, the party place. Scott Arboretum About 325 acres are contained in the College property, including a large tract o f woodland and the valley o f Crum Creek. Much o f this tract has been developed as a horticultural and botanical co llectio n o f trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants through the provisions of the S co tt Arboretum, established in 1929 by Mrs. A rthur Hoyt S c o tt and Ow en and Margaret M oon as a memorial to Arthur Hoyt Scott o f the Class o f 1895. T h e plant collec­ tions are designed both to afford examples of the better kinds o f trees and shrubs that are hardy in the climate o f eastern Pennsylvania and suitable for planting by the average gar­ dener and to beautify the campus. A ll collec­ tions are labeled and recorded. T here are exceptionally fine displays of hollies, Japanese cherries, flowering crabapples, magnolias, tree peonies, lilacs, rhododendrons, azaleas, and daffodils. C hoice specimens from the collec­ tions are displayed in several specialty gardens including T h e Terry Shane Teaching Garden, T h e Theresa Lang Garden o f Fragrance, the Dean Bond Rose Garden, the Isabelle Bennett Cosby ’28 Courtyard, the Nason Garden and outdoor classroom, and the Metasequoia Allée. Many interested donors have contributed gen­ erously to the collections, and the arboretum is funded primarily by outside grants and restrict­ ed endowment funds with a combined market value o f $19.8 million as o f June 30, 2000. T h e arboretum conducts applied research on ornamental plants and serves as a test site for three plant evaluation programs: the Gold Medal Award o f Garden M erit through the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, the perfor­ mance of hollies through the American Holly Society, and the National Crabapple Evalua­ tion Program. T h e arboretum offers horticultural educational programs to the general public and Swarth­ more students. These workshops, lectures, and classes are designed to cover many facets of the science/art called gardening. Tours are con­ ducted throughout the year for college people and interested public groups. Aiding the arboretum’s staff, in all of its efforts, are the “Associates o f the S co tt Arboretum.” T his membership organization provides not only financial support but also assistance in carrying out the myriad operations that make up the arboretum’s total program, such as plant propagation, public lectures, and tours to other gardens. More than 100 “arboretum assistants” aid in campus maintenance on a regular basis by volunteering. Student memberships are available. T h e arboretum’s newsletter, H ybrid, serves to publicize their activities and provides up-to-date information on seasonal gardening topics. Maps for self-guided tours and brochures o f the arboretum’s plant collections are available at the Scott Offices (610) 3288025, located in the Cunningham House. T h e Scott Arboretum was accredited by the American Association o f Museums in 1995, signifying its professional standards of opera­ tion as an arboretum.

GENERAL STATEMENT In the selection of students, the College seeks those qualities o f character, social responsibili­ ty, and intellectual capacity that it is primarily concerned to develop. It seeks them not in iso­ lation but as essential elements in the whole personality o f candidates for admission. Selection is important and difficult. N o simple formula will be effective. T h e task is to choose those who give promise o f distinction in the quality of their personal lives, in service to the community, or in leadership in their chosen fields. Swarthmore College must choose its stu­ dents on the basis of their individual future worth to society and o f their collective realiza­ tion of the purpose o f the College. It is the policy of the College to have the stu­ dent body represent not only different parts of the United States but also many foreign coun­ tries, both public and private secondary schools, and various economic, social, reli­ gious, ethnic, and racial groups. T h e College is also concerned to include in each class sons and daughters o f alumni and members of the Society of Friends. Admission to the first-year class is normally based on the satisfactory completion o f a fouryear secondary school program. Under some circumstances, students who have virtually completed the normal four-year program in three years will be considered for admission, provided they meet the competition o f other candidates in general maturity as well as readi­ ness for a rigorous academic program. Students who have already completed a tertiary degree are not eligible for admission to Swarthmore. All applicants are selected on the following evidence: 1. Record in secondary school. 2. Recommendations from the school princi­ pal, headmaster, or guidance counselor, and from two academic teachers. 4- Three SA T-II scores, one of which must be the SA T-II W riting test. Applicants consid­ ering a major in engineering are strongly encouraged to take the SA T-II M ath IIC test. 5. A brief statement about why the student is applying to Swarthmore, a brief essay on a meaningful activity or interest, and a longer essay (subject specified). 6. Co-curricular and extracurricular activities. Applicants must have satisfactory standing in school and standardized tests as well as strong intellectual interests. O ther factors of interest to the College include strength o f character, promise of growth, initiative, seriousness of purpose, distinction in personal and extracur­ ricular interests, and a sense o f social responsi­ bility. T h e College values the diversity that varied interests and backgrounds can bring to the community. PREPARATION Swarthmore does not require a set plan of sec­ ondary school courses as preparation for its program. T h e election o f specific subjects is left to the student and school advisers. In general, preparation should include the following: 1. Accurate and effective use of the English language in reading, writing, and speaking. 2. Com prehension and application o f the principles of mathematics. 3. T h e strongest possible command of one or two foreign languages. T h e College encour­ ages students to study at least one language for four years, if possible. 4. Substantial course work in (a) history and social studies; (b) literature, art, and music; and (c) mathematics and the sciences. Variations o f ch oice and emphasis are acceptable, although some work in each of the three groups is recommended. Those planning to major in engineering should present work in chemistry, physics, and four years of mathematics, including algebra, geom­ etry, trigonometry, and calculus. 3. SAT-I or A C T scores. 23 Admissions APPLICATIONS AND EXAMINATIONS Regular D ecision Closing date for applications Application to the College may be submitted through either the Regular Decision or one of the Early Decision plans. Applicants follow the same procedures, submit the same supporting materials, and are evaluated by the same crite­ ria under each plan. T h e Regular D ecision plan is designed for those candidates who wish to keep open several dif­ ferent options for their undergraduate educa­ tio n throughout th e admissions process. Applications under this plan will be accepted at any time up to the January 1 deadline, but Form 1 should be submitted as early as possible to create a file for the candidate to which sup­ porting material will be added up to the dead­ line. T h e Early D ecision plans are designed for can­ didates who have thoroughly and thoughtfully investigated Swarthmore and other colleges and found Swarthmore to be an unequivocal first choice. U pon applying to Swarthmore, Early Decision candidates may not file early decision/early action applications at other col­ leges, but they may file regular applications at other colleges with the understanding that these applications will be withdrawn upon admission to Swarthmore. A ny Early Decision candidate not admitted will receive one of two determinations: a defer­ ral o f decision, which secures reconsideration for the candidate among the Regular Decision candidates, or a denial o f admission, which withdraws the application from further consid­ eration. If one o f these determinations is made, the applicant is free to apply to other institu­ tions. Application under any plan must be accompa­ nied by a nonrefundable application fee o f $60 or fee waiver. Timetables for the plans are the following: F all E arly D ecision Closing date for applications November 15 N otification o f candidate on or before December 15 W inter Early D ecision Closing date for applications N otification o f candidate 24 January 1 on or before February 1 N otification o f candidate Candidate reply date January 1 on or before April 1 May 1 Under certain circumstances, admitted stu­ dents may apply in writing to defer their admis­ sion for one year. These requests must be received by May 1 and approved in writing by the dean of admissions, and students must con­ firm their plans for the year by June 1. The dean o f admissions may choose to review other requests o n a case-by-case basis. Students granted deferment may neither apply to nor enroll at another degree-granting college/university program. Swarthmore College places strong emphasis on academic achievement and personal character. A n offer o f admission to Swarthmore College is dependent upon a student maintaining his or her standard of academic achievement prior to enrolling at the College. A n offer o f admission is also dependent on a student’s continued demonstration o f character and high standards for personal conduct. Lapses in either category may be grounds for rescinding an offer of admission. For U .S . citizens and permanent residents applying as first year or transfer students, admission to Swarthmore is determined with­ out regard to financial need. Information con­ cerning financial aid is on pages 29-43. THE INTERVIEW A n admissions interview with a representative of the College is a recommended part of the first-year application process. (Applicants for transfer are not interviewed.) Prospective firstyear applicants should take the initiative in arranging for this interview. On-campus inter­ views are available to rising seniors from June through early December. Students need not have applied to the College before scheduling an interview. Those who can reach Swarth­ more with no more than a half-day’s trip are urged to make an appointment to visit the College for this purpose.* O ther students may contact the Admissions O ffice to request a meeting with an alumni representative in their own area. Interviews with alumni representa­ tives take longer to arrange than interviews on campus; therefore, applicants must request an alumni interview by November 15. Arrangements for on-campus or alumni inter­ views can be made by writing to the Office of Admissions or by calling (6 1 0 ) 328-8300 or (800) 667-3110. ADVANCED PLACEMENT Enrolled first-year students with special cre­ dentials may be eligible during the first semes­ ter for advanced placement (placement into courses w ith prerequisites) and/or credit toward graduation from Swarthmore (32 cred­ its are required). A ll decisions are made on a subject-by-subject basis by the registrar in con­ sultation with individual Swarthmore depart­ ments. Typically, special credentials consist of Advanced Placem ent exam inations o f the College Entrance Examination Board, higher level exam inations o f the International Baccalaureate, certain other foreign certifica­ tions (such as British A-Levels or the German Abitur), or courses taken at another college. Every effort is made to place students at the appropriate level, but no department is required to give credit for work done else­ where. Credit is denied if a student chooses to take a course at Swarthmore that essentially repeats the work covered by the credit. In some cases, students may qualify for advanced standing: T hey may become juniors in their second year. To qualify for advanced standing, a student must (1 ) do satisfactory work in the first semester; (2 ) obtain 14 credits by the end o f the first year; (3 ) intend to com ­ plete the degree requirements in 3 years; and (4) signify this intention when she/he applies for a major during the spring o f the first year. Those students who wish to have courses taken at another college considered for eith er advanced placement or credit must provide an official transcript from the institution attended as well as written work (papers, examinations), syllabi, and reading lists in order that the course work may be evaluated by the depart­ ment concerned. Such requests for credit must be made within the first year at Swarthmore. Departments may set additional requirements. For instance, students may be required to take a placement examination at Swarthmore to validate their previous work. INTERNATIONAL ADMISSIONS T h e College is deeply committed to a strong international presence on campus. T h e appli­ cation process is the same as for U .S. citizens and permanent residents of the United States with the following exceptions: 1. Admissions is not need-blind. Students must submit additional financial documen­ tation to the Financial Aid O ffice. Applying for financial aid places the stu­ dent in the most selective subgroup of the total application pool regardless o f the parental contribution. 2. Demonstrated proficiency in English is required o f those for whom English is not their first language. T his may be in the form o f a standardized test for non-native speak­ ers o f English, such as TO EFL or APIEL, superior academic achievement in a school where English is the language o f instruc­ tion, or a portfolio of graded English writing samples in conjunction with the ELPT. Although not required, an interview on campus or with a College admissions repre­ sentative overseas is considered to be very helpful. 3. Required SAT-I and SAT-II tests are waived for those who live in countries where such testing is unavailable. In countries where testing is available, applicants are strongly advised to make test arrangements early and to have scores reported directly to Swarthmore College by the appropriate application deadline. 4. It is the applicant’s responsibility to guaran­ tee the authenticity o f all credentials sub­ mitted. T his includes notarized translations of official documents and certified school transcripts signed by the appropriate school staff member. 5. T h e College does not accept transfer appli­ cations from foreign nationals who require financial aid. 25 Admissions 1 APPLICATIONS FOR TRANSFER S T h e College welcomes well-qualified transfer students. Applicants for transfer must have had an outstanding academic record in the institu­ tion attended and must present transcripts for bo th college and secondary school work, including an official statement indicating that th e student is leaving in good standing. Students who have completed the equivalent o f two or more semesters o f university-level work must apply for transfer admission. Admission status for students who have com­ pleted less than the equivalent o f two semes­ ters o f university-level work will be decided on a case-by-case basis. Transfer applicants must take the SAT-I or the A C T if one o f these tests has not been taken previously. -] ( Four semesters of study at Swarthmore College constitute the minimum requirement for a degree, two o f which must be those of the senior year. Applications for transfer must be filed by April 1 o f the year in which entrance is desired. Swarthmore does no t have a midyear transfer application process. Need-based finan­ cial assistance is available for transfer students who are U .S . citizens or permanent residents. Transfer applications are not accepted from international students who require financial aid. Transfer applicants are notified o f decisions on or before May 30. *D irections for reaching the College can be found on p. 4 24 o f this catalog. 26 Expenses STUDENT CHARGES Total charges for the 2001-2002 academic year (two semesters) are as follows: Tuition $26,098 Room 4,188 Board 3,974 Student activities fee 278 $34,538 These are the annual charges billed by the College. Students and their parents, however, should plan for expenditures associated with books, travel, and other personal items. In addition, the College will bill for unpaid library fines, Health Center fees, and other fees and fines not collected at the source. Students engaged in independent projects away from the College for which regular aca­ demic credit is anticipated are expected to reg­ ister in advance in the usual way and pay nor­ mal tuition. If the student is away from the College for a full semester, no charge for room and board will be made; however, if a student is away only for a part of a semester, the above charges may be made on a pro rata basis. Late fees o f 1.5 percent per m onth will accrue on all past due balances. Students with past due balances will not be permitted to enroll for the following semester, participate in the room lottery, graduate, nor obtain a transcript. The regular College tuition covers the normal program o f four courses per term as well as vari­ ations of as many as five courses or as few as three courses. Students who elect to carry more than five courses incur a unit charge for the additional course ($ 3 ,2 6 2 ) or half-course ($1,631), although they may within the regular tuition vary their programs to average as many as five courses in the two semesters o f any aca­ demic year. College policy does not permit pro­ grams of fewer than three courses for degree candidates in their first eight semesters of enrollment. Study abroad: Students who wish to receive Swarthmore credit for study abroad must, for the semester or year abroad, pay the full Swarthmore charges (excluding the student activities fee). Financial aid is normally applic­ able to study abroad, with the approval of the Office for Foreign Study. Students contemplat­ ing study abroad should contact Steven Piker, foreign study adviser, well in advance for aca­ demic and administrative planning. PAYMENT POLICY Sem ester bills are mailed in July and December. Payment for the first semester is due by August 13, 2001, and for the second semes­ ter by January 14, 2002. A 1.5 percent late fee will be assessed monthly on payments received after the due date. Many parents have indicat­ ed a preference to pay College chargés on a monthly basis rather than in two installments. For this reason, Swarthmore offers a monthly WITHDRAWAL POLICY Charges for tuition and fees will be reduced for students who withdraw for reasons approved by the dean prior to or during a semester. Reductions in charges will be made in the following ways: For Students W ho W ithdraw Tuition and F ees R educed B oard Reduced R oom R educed Before start o f classes To $0 To $0 To $500 During first 2 weeks o f classes To $200 To $100 To $500 During week 3 By 90 percent By 90 percent To $500 During week 4 By 80 percent By 80 percent To $500 During week 5 By 70 percent By 70 percent To $500 During week 6 By 60 percent By 60 percent To $500 During week 7 By 50 percent By 50 percent To $500 During week 8 By 40 percent By 40 percent To $500 During week 9 and beyond N o further reduction on tuition, fees, board, or rooms 27 Expenses payment plan, which provides for payment in installments without interest charges. Informa­ tion on the plan is mailed to all parents in April 2002. HOUSING FINES A ny time you select a room in the lottery that you do no t use, the minimum fine is $100.

Financial Aid The College strives to make it possible for all admitted students to attend Swarthmore, re­ gardless o f their financial circumstances, and to enable them to complete their education if fi­ nancial reversals take place. About 50 percent of the total student body currently receives aid from the College. Most financial aid awarded by the College is based on demonstrated finan­ cial need and is usually a combination of schol­ arship, loan, and campus employment. T h e College is committed to meeting all demon­ strated financial need, and demonstrated need is assessed by a careful review of families’ fi­ nancial circumstances. A prospective student must apply for Swarthmore and for outside assistance while applying for admission: admission and finan­ cial aid decisions are, however, made separate­ ly. Instructions for obtaining and filing an ap­ plication are included in the admissions appli­ cation. Financial assistance will be offered if a family does not have the capacity to meet College costs. T h e amount a family is expected to contribute is determined by weighing the family’s income and assets against such de­ mands as taxes, living expenses, medical ex­ penses, and siblings’ undergraduate tuition ex­ penses, etc. Family contribution also includes a $1,450 to $1 ,8 9 0 summer earnings contribu­ tion as well as a portion o f the student’s per­ sonal savings and assets. For 2001-2002, the College bill, w hich in­ cludes tuition, room, and board, and a compre­ hensive fee, will be $34,538. T his comprehen­ sive fee covers no t only the usual student ser­ vices— health, library, laboratory fees, for ex­ ample— but admission to all social, cultural, and athletic events on campus. T h e total bud­ get figure against which aid is computed is $36,360. This allows $1,822 for books and per­ sonal expenses. A travel allowance is added to the budget for those who live in the U nited States but more than 100 miles from the College. In keeping with the policy o f basing financial aid upon need, the College reviews each stu­ dent’s award annually. Midyear, each student who would like to be considered for our sup[ port for the next year must submit a new fi­ nancial aid application. A student’s aid is not withdrawn unless financial need is no longer demonstrated. Assistance is available only dur­ ing a normal-length undergraduate program (eight semesters) and while a student makes satisfactory academic progress. These limita­ tions are also applied in our consideration o f a sibling’s undergraduate educational expenses. Students who choose to live off campus will not receive College scholarship or College loan assistance in excess o f their College bill. T h e cost o f living off campus will, however, be recognized in the calculation of a student’s fi­ nancial need, and outside sources of aid may be used to help m eet off-campus living expenses once the College bill is satisfied. U .S . students who have not previously re­ ceived financial aid may become eligible and may apply to receive aid if their financial situ­ ations have changed. A student who marries may continue to apply for aid, but a contribu­ tion from the parents is expected equal to the contribution made were the student single. T h e College has, by action o f our Board, reaf­ firmed its need-blind admission policy and the related practice o f meeting the demonstrated financial need of all admitted or enrolled stu­ dents. Eligibility for federal aid funds is now limited to those who are able to complete and submit to us the Statem ent of Registration Compliance, but additional funds have been made available for those who are unable to ac­ cept need-based federal aid because they have not registered with the Selective Service. Financial support for foreign citizens is limited and must be requested during the admission application process. New aid applications from foreign nationals can be considered after ad­ mission. A special brochure has been prepared to advise families o f the various sources of aid as well as a variety o f financing options. Please request a copy from our Admissions Office. You may also find the answers to most o f your financial aid questions on our W eb site, www.swarthmore.edu (click on “campus links” to find financial aid). SCHOLARSHIPS For the academic year 2001-2002, we awarded more th an $ 1 4 m illion in Swarthmore Scholarship funds. A bout one-half of that sum was provided through the generosity o f alumni and friends by special gifts and the endowed 29 Financial Aid scholarships listed on pp. 31-43. It is no t nec­ essary to apply for a specific College scholar­ ship; the College decides who is to receive en­ dowed scholarships, and others are helped from general scholarship funds. Although some en­ dowed scholarships are restricted by locality, sex, religion, or physical vigor, the College’s system o f awarding aid makes it possible to meet need without regard to these restrictions. Financial need is a requirement for all College scholarships unless otherwise indicated. T h e federal government also makes Pell Grants and Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants available to eligible students. LOAN FUNDS Long-term, low-interest loan funds with gener­ ous repayment terms combine with Swarthmore’s scholarship programs to enable the College to meet the needs of each student. Although most offers o f support from the College include elements of self-help (campus work and borrowing opportunities), the College strives to keep a student’s debt at a manageable level. Aided students are expected to meet a portion of their demonstrated need (from $1,000 to about $4,5 0 0 each year) through the federal Stafford Loan Programs, Perkins Loan, or the Swarthmore College Loan (S C L ); the College determines which source is appropriate for which student. Each of these programs allows the borrower to defer repayment until after leaving school, and each allows further defer­ ment o f the debt if the borrower goes on to graduate school. Up to 10 years may be taken to repay Stafford, Perkins, or Swarthmore College Loans. N o separate application is needed for the Perkins or SC L loans because the College administers these funds. Stafford Loan applications must be initiated by the stu­ dent with a bank. Parents who wish to borrow might consider the Federal PLU S Loan. Up to $34,500 per year is available at a variable interest rate. Repayment may be made over a 10-year period. For more information about these loan pro­ grams, read our Financial Aid Brochure (avail­ able from our Admissions O ffice), or visit our Website at www.swarthmore.edu. T h e College also maintains the following spe­ cial loan funds: T he Jay and Sandra Levine L oan Fund T he T hatcher Fam ily L oan Fund T he Sw arthm ore C ollege Student L oan Fund STUDENT EMPLOYMENT Student employment on the Swarthmore cam­ pus is coordinated by the Student Employment Office, which is under student direction. Jobs are available in such areas as the library, de­ partmental offices, the post office, the studentrun coffee house, etc., and placements can be arranged when students arrive in the fall. Oncampus rates of pay run from $6.25 to $7 per hour. Students receiving financial aid are usu­ ally offered the opportunity to earn up to $1,360 during the year and are given hiring priority, but there are usually jobs available for others who wish to work on campus. T h e Student Employment Office publicizes local off-campus and temporary employment opportunities. Students are generally able to carry a moderate working schedule without detriment to their academic performance. We hope that students will not work more than about seven or eight hours weekly. For students who qualify under the federal College Work-Study Program (most aided stu­ dents), off-campus placements in public or pri­ vate, nonprofit agencies in the local or Philadelphia area can be arranged through the Financial Aid Office during the academic year or nation-wide during the summer (when fed­ eral funds are sufficient). Among suitable agen­ cies are hospitals; schools; museums; and social service agencies; and local, state, or federal government agencies.

Swarthmore seeks to help its students realize their fullest intellectu­ al and personal potential combined with a deep sense o f ethical and social concern.” Although the College places great value on freedom o f expression, it also recognizes the re­ sponsibility to protect the structures and values of an academic community. It is important, therefore, that students assume responsibility for helping to sustain an educational and social community where the rights o f all are respect­ ed. This includes conforming their behavior to standards o f conduct that are designed to pro­ tect the health, safety, dignity, and rights of all. The College community also has a responsibil­ ity to protect the possessions, property, and in­ tegrity of the institution as well as of individu­ als. T h e aim of both this statement and the Student Judicial Procedures is to balance all these rights, responsibilities, and community values fairly and efficiently. Swarthmore College policies and jurisdiction normally apply only to the conduct of matricu­ lated students occurring on Swarthmore College property or at College-sanctioned events that take place off campus. In situations in which both the complainant and accused are matriculated Swarthmore College students, however, College policies and jurisdiction may apply regardless of the location of the incident. Students should also realize that they have the responsibility to ensure that their guests do not violate College policies, rules, and regulations while visiting and that students may be subject to disciplinary action for misbehavior o f their guests. A complaint against a student may be made to the deans by a student, a Public Safety officer, a member of the College’s faculty or staff, or a College department. If the alleged incident represents a violation of federal, state, or local law, the complainant also has the option o f ini­ tiating proceedings in the criminal or civil court system regardless of whether a complaint is filed within the College system. T h e following is a summary and explanation of the rights, responsibilities, and rules governing student conduct at Swarthmore College. This statement serves as a general framework and is not intended to provide an exhaustive list of all possible infractions. Students violating any o f the following are subject to disciplinary ac­ tion. A ll sanctions imposed by the judicial sys­ tem must be obeyed or additional penalties will be levied. For a description o f the College’s ju­ dicial process, please see the section below on Student Ju dicial System . 1 . Academic and Personal Integrity A cad em ic F reed om an d Responsibility T h e following is excerpted from T he Faculty H an dbook (Section II.A .2): Swarthmore College has long subscribed to the fundamental tenets of academic freedom artic­ ulated in the 1940 Statem ent of Principles on Academic Freedom and Tenure by the Amer­ ican Association o f University Professors. This doctrine has been reiterated and amplified in the association’s 1970 Statem ent on Freedom and Responsibility. Swarthmore College ad­ heres to the 1970 Statem ent, relevant portions o f which are reproduced below. T h e complete texts o f the association’s 1940 and 1970 Statements may be found in A .A .U.P. publica­ tions. Membership in the academic community im­ poses on students, faculty members, adminis­ trators, and trustees an obligation to respect the dignity of others, to acknowledge their right to express differing opinions, and to foster and defend intellectual honesty, freedom of in­ quiry and instruction, and free expression on and off the campus. T h e expression o f dissent and the attempt to produce change, therefore, may not be carried out in ways that injure in­ dividuals or damage institutional facilities or disrupt the classes o f one’s teachers or col­ leagues. Speakers on campus must not only be protected from violence but also be given an opportunity to be heard. Those who seek to call attention to grievances must not do so in ways that significantly impede the functions of the institution. Students are entitled to an atmosphere con­ ducive to learning and to even-handed treat­ ment in all aspects of the teacher-student rela- 45 College Life tionship. Faculty members may not refuse to enroll or teach students on the grounds o f their beliefs or the possible uses to which they may put the knowledge to be gained in a course. T h e student should not be forced by the au­ thority inherent in the instructional role to make particular personal choices as to political action or his own part in society. Evaluation of students and the award o f credit must be based on academic performance professionally judged and not on matters irrelevant to that perfor­ mance, such as personality, race, religion, de­ gree o f political activism, or personal beliefs. If a student has a grievance against a faculty member th a t can n o t be resolved directly through the faculty member involved, the stu­ dent should take her or his concerns to the de­ partment chair. If the grievance remains unre­ solved, the student should contact the provost. A cad em ic M iscon d u ct T h e following procedures were adopted by the faculty on Feb. 16, 2001, and are excerpted from T he Faculty H andbook (Section II.B .7): I. C onsidering A cadem ic M isconduct C ases i. Academic misconduct is defined as a vio­ lation of the college’s standards o f academic in­ tegrity whether these violations are intention­ al or unintentional. ii. T h e College Judicial Comm ittee (C JC ) will adjudicate academic misconduct cases. iii. In academic misconduct cases the dean of the College, who chairs the C JC , acts as a neu­ tral procedural facilitator, not as an advocate or a judge. T h e dean o f the College, as chair, and the associate dean for student affairs, as observ­ er, are ex officio, nonvoting members o f C JC . II. Procedures i. A n instructor who has good evidence suspect a student or students o f academic mis­ conduct (e.g., cheating on an exam; plagiarism on a paper, lab reports, problem sets, or Honors work) will, at the instructor’s discretion, con­ sult the department chair about the case. Mere suspicion on the part o f a faculty member that the student’s work does not sound right is nor­ mally not by itself sufficient grounds to bring a case forward in the absence o f good evidence. Good evidence may include, but is not limited to, the following: properly acknowledged. Sources that must be acknowledged include, but are not limited to, books, articles in books, journal articles, Web pages, graphs, charts, tables, data sets, etc. in any o f the sources just mentioned. Proper ac­ knowledgment must indicate both the source and how it served as a source for any specific portions o f the student’s work that have been based on it. b. Glaring coincidences in the work o f stu­ dents on exams, papers, problem sets, etc., where cooperation in producing the work was not permitted. ii. In any event, the instructor will meet with the student (or students) to present evidence to the student and may, at the instructor’s dis­ cretion, invite the department chair to be pre­ sent. iii. A fter this meeting, if the instructor’s sus­ picions are not allayed, the instructor will sub­ mit a report to the associate dean o f the College for student life. T h e report will include a narrative of the incident and evidence sup­ porting the charge. iv. T h e associate dean will provide copies of the report to all faculty members of the College Judicial Comm ittee including alternates, and will call a preliminary meeting o f the faculty members o f the C JC for the purpose o f deter­ mining the merits o f the case. If in the judg­ ment of this group there are sufficient grounds to warrant a hearing, the associate dean will schedule the hearing at a time mutually conve­ nient to the committee members o f the C JC and the student charged with academic mis­ conduct. T h e associate dean will inform the student of the charge and his or her right to have a support person present at . the hearing. toT h e support person may be a fellow student, a faculty member, or a member o f the staff. Normally, all evidence to be considered must be submitted by the accuser and the defendant to the associate dean for student life prior to the hearing. v. Before academic misconduct cases are heard, the associate dean will provide the com­ m ittee with an updated summary of the previ­ ous years’ cases and their disposition. III. Sanctions i. T h e C JC will consider the case, make a a. Som e o f the student’s work coincides finding o f guilty or not guilty on the basis of with or closely paraphrases a source that is not the preponderance o f the evidence, and deter­ 46 mine an appropriate sanction if a finding of guilty is reached. ii. In determining a sanction, the committee will consider all the circumstances o f the case, including the intent o f the student, the char­ acter and magnitude o f the offense, the consid­ ered evidential judgment o f the faculty mem­ ber bringing the accusation, and mitigating cir­ cumstances. It is the opinion of the faculty that for an intentional first offense, failure in the course normally is appropriate. Suspension for a semester or deprivation o f the degree in that year may also be appropriate when warranted by th e seriousness o f the offense. iii. For a second offense, the penalty normally should be expulsion. IV. A ppeals A request for an appeal may be brought to the president and the provost within 10 days fol­ lowing a guilty decision by the C JC , but only on the grounds o f new evidence or procedural error. If the president and the provost decide that this new information warrants an appeal, they will appoint a new committee o f two fac­ ulty and two students to review the case. T he decision of the appeal committee is final. T he committee may confirm the decision of the C JC , reduce or increase the sanctions, or dis­ miss the original charges. V . Inform ing F acu lty A nd Students A bou t Sw arthm ore’s A cadem ic M isconduct Policy The integrity of a liberal arts education de­ pends on the principle o f academic integrity. Educating the community about the academic misconduct policy is essential to the educa­ tional goals of the college. Both students and faculty will be regularly in­ formed about the college’s academic miscon­ duct policy in a variety of ways such as the fol­ lowing: by their instructors or advisors, by the Dean’s Office, and by means o f statements in such places as the College catalog, faculty and student handbooks, the College W eb site, de­ partmental or divisional handouts, etc. Discussion of the policy may also be part of such sessions as orientation for first-year stu­ dents in the fall, orientation for new faculty, and in writing associate and student academic mentor training. Students must finally take the responsibility for understanding the rules with respect to proper citation of sources and the College’s academic misconduct policy. Standard Citation P ractices Writers may refer to a handbook on scholarly writing for information about correct citation procedures. T h e M LA H andbook is particularly useful because it also provides examples o f pla­ giarism. Supplementary departmental regula­ tions governing jo in t projects, etc., may be found on file in departmental offices. T h e in­ formal nature o f some writing may obviate the necessity o f rigorously formal citation, but still requires honest attribution to original authors o f all borrowed materials. Students should feel free to consult with instructors whenever there is doubt as to proper documentation. Fear of being charged with plagiarism need not inhibit anyone from appropriately using anoth­ er’s ideas or data in a piece o f writing. Even di­ rect quotation frequently serves as an effective device in developing an argument. Academic honesty requires only that writers properly ac­ knowledge their debts to other authors at least by means of quotation marks, footnotes, and references, if not also with in-text phraseology like “Einstein argued in 1900 that....” or “As Melville implies in Chapter 3 o f M ob y -D ick ...” Such usage is fully within the tradition of forthright academic work. Subm ission o f the Sam e W ork in M ore T h a n O ne C ourse W hen submitting any work to an instructor for a course, it is assumed that the work was pro­ duced specifically for that course. Submission o f the same work in more than one course without prior approval is prohibited. If the courses are being taken concurrently, approval o f the professors for both courses is required. If a student wishes to submit a paper that was written for a course taken in a previous semes­ ter, the student need only obtain the permis­ sion o f the professor teaching the current course involved. Library/Educational M aterials E thics Students may not hinder the educational op­ portunity of other students by behavior such as removing, hiding, or defacing educational ma­ terials. Statem ent on Com puting Use of the Swarthmore College computer sys­ tem and networks is governed by the general norms o f responsible community conduct de­ scribed in the student, faculty, and staff hand­ books, by local, state and federal laws, and by 47 College Life College policies specific to use o f the comput­ er systems and networks, which are described in the following sections. and maintains these systems to further its aca­ demic mission, using computers for nonacade­ mic purposes has low priority. Swarthmore College normally grants access to its computing network and systems to current­ ly enrolled students, to current and emeritus faculty, and to currently employed staff.

W hen a system vulnerability is discovered, users are expected to report it to a system ad­ ministrator. 1. Users o f services operated by Swarthmore College have the following obligations and re­ sponsibilities: a. To respect software copyright. T h e copy­ ing or use o f copyrighted software in violation o f vendor license requirements is strictly for­ bidden. N ot only does such violation (“soft­ ware piracy”) wrongly appropriate the intellec­ tual property o f others, but it places the indi­ vidual user and the College at risk o f legal ac­ tion. b. To protect their accounts from unautho­ rized use by others. Users are responsible for all activities under their user ID, and must take reasonable steps to ensure that they alone, or some authorized person under their direct con­ trol, have access to the account. c. To respect the integrity o f other user’s ac­ counts. Individuals must not use another per­ son’s user ID without express permission or at­ tempt to decode passwords or to access infor­ mation illegitimately. A system administrator is allowed to decode passwords as part o f regu­ lar operations. d. N ot to send forged e-mail (mail sent under another user’s nam e) or to read e-mail addressed to another user, for example, by ac­ cessing their electronic mailbox or mail resid­ ing in system files. Potentially offensive elec­ tronic communication shall be considered as it would be if conveyed by other media. e. To avoid excess use o f shared resources, whether through monopolizing systems, over­ loading networks, misusing printer or other re­ sources, or sending “junk mail.” Information Technology Services (IT S ) will from time to time issue guidelines to the use o f shared re­ sources. Because Swarthmore College provides 48 Violations o f these rules that come to the at­ tention of IT S will be referred as appropriate to the offices o f the dean, provost, or human re­ sources. These offices will consider violations using information provided by IT S . In cases of violation o f “f” above, IT S may temporarily withhold services from students, faculty or staff. T h e case will then be referred in a timely manner to the appropriate College authorities. 2. Swarthmore College for its part assures users that College personnel are obliged: a. To grant personal files on College com­ puters (e.g., files in a user’s account) the same degree o f privacy as personal files in Collegeassigned space in an office, lab, or dormitory (e.g., files in a student’s desk); to grant private communications via computer the same degree o f protection as private communications in other media; and to treat an article on a U SE N E T newsgroup or other bulletin board analogously to a poster or a College publica­ tion. b. To take reasonable steps to protect users from unauthorized entry into their accounts or files, whether by other users or by system ad­ ministrators, except in instances where a sys­ tem-related problem requires such entry. c. To take reasonable steps to prevent the dissemination o f information concerning indi­ vidual user activities, for example, records of users entering a bulletin board network. A cknow ledgm ents. Some o f the above rules and guidelines have been adapted from earlier statements in the Sw arthm ore C ollege Student H an dbook and from materials made available from the Electronic Frontier Foundation, in­ cluding the policy statements of the American Association of University Professors, Columbia University, the University o f Delaware, the U niversity o f Southern C alifornia at Los Angeles, and Virginia Tech University. F alse Inform ation, M isrepresentation, and Identification A student may not knowingly provide false in­ formation or make misrepresentation to any College office. Students are obligated to pro­ vide College personnel with accurate identifi­ cation upon request. Forgery, F ra u d , Possession a nd U nauthorized In addition to the forgery, alteration, or unau­ thorized possession or use o f College docu­ ments, records, or instruments of identifica­ tion, forged communications (paper or elec­ tronic mail) are prohibited. tempts to use intim idation or retaliation against someone who reports an incident, brings a complaint, or participates in an inves­ tigation in an attempt to influence the judicial process will be subject to serious sanctions. H arassm ent T h e College seeks to sustain an environment in which harassment has no place. Those who harass others will be subject to serious sanc­ tions. Verbal, written, or electronic threats o f vio­ lence or other threatening behavior directed toward another person or group that reason­ ably leads the person or persons in the group to fear for their physical well-being constitutes in­ timidation and is prohibited. Anyone who at­ D efinition, principles, an d criteria: Harassment can take many forms, and it needs to be em­ phasized that harassment can be and often is nonphysical, including words, pictures, ges­ tures, and other forms of expression. To count as harassment, such expression must be reason­ ably regarded as (a) taunting,1 vilifying,12 or de­ grading3 whether (b) directed at individuals or groups (subject to the clarification and qualifi­ cation below) and (c) where reasonable people may suppose that such expression harms its target(s) by substantially interfering with their educational opportunities, peaceful enjoyment of residence and community, or terms o f em­ ployment. Further, to count as harassment sub­ je c t to possible formal grievance procedures, such expression must (d) be taken either with the intent to interfere with the protected in­ terests mentioned in (c), above, or with reck­ less disregard to the nature o f the conduct. Such intent or recklessness must be inferred from all the circumstances. Finally, (e) such ex­ pression must be repeated and persistent. To be “repeated and persistent,” the offending con­ duct must have been brought to the attention o f the defendant (though not necessarily by the complainant), be o f the same kind, and re­ peated. There are two reasons for adding (e): first, the College wishes to have the opportuni­ ty to educate those who may not realize that certain expression constitutes harassment; sec­ ond, by requiring that the expression be re­ peated and persistent, the College helps estab­ lish intent or recklessness. However: (f) before any expression can be considered for possible 1 Derisive, mocking, ridiculing, or jeering ex­ pression. disregarding the effects o f one’s expression in these respects. 2. Violence, Assault, Intimidation, and Harassment (For sexual violations see Sexual Misconduct) Swarthmore College seeks to m aintain an en­ vironment of mutual respect among all its members. A ll forms of violence, assault, intim­ idation, and harassment, including that based on sex, race, color, age, religion, national ori­ gin, sexual preference, or handicap, undermine the basis for such respect and violate the sense of community vital to the College’s education­ al enterprise. T his statement o f policy should not be taken to supersede the Colleges com­ mitment to academic freedom, which it hereby reaffirms. T h e reasoned expression o f different views plays a particularly vital part in a college community. Freedom o f expression, fundamen­ tal to an exchange o f views, carries with it corollary responsibilities equally basic to rea­ soned debate. Violence and A ssault Students may not engage in physical violence against others. Those who do will be subject to serious sanctions. In tim idation 2 Forceful defaming or degrading expression with intent to make the target o f the offend­ ing expression vile or shameful or recklessly 3 Subjecting one to public shame that normal­ ly cause feelings of inferiority or loss o f selfrespect. 49 College Life formal grievance procedures, it must be clear that no substantial free expression interests are threatened by bringing a formal charge of ha­ rassing expression. T his strict cfiterion for pos­ sible formal grievance procedures must be im­ posed to ensure that the College does nothing that would tend to diminish free expression or compromise principles o f academic freedom in the vigorous and often contentious examina­ tion and criticism of ideas, works o f art, and po­ litical activity that marks Swarthmore College. Because groups have been included in (b), above, the following clarification and qualifi­ cation is in order. If expression that would be regarded as harassing if directed at an individ­ ual is directed at a group— where no individu­ als are specifically named or referred to as tar­ gets— any member of that group will have an adjudicable complaint only i f it can be estab­ lished that a reasonable person would regard that offending expression as harassing each and every member o f the group as individuals. Stalking Stalking is a form of harassment, which, fol­ lowing the Pennsylvania Crim inal Code, oc­ curs when a person engages in a course of con­ duct or repeatedly commits acts toward anoth­ er person, including following the person with­ out proper authority, under circumstances that demonstrate either of the following: placing the person in reasonable fear o f bodily injury; or reasonably causing substantial emotional distress to the person. 3. Sexual Misconduct Sexual misconduct represents a continuum of behaviors ranging from physical sexual assault and abuse to sexual harassment and intimida­ tion and is a serious violation of the College’s code of conduct. Both women and men can be subject to and can be capable of sexual mis­ conduct. It can occur between two people whether or not they are in a relationship in which one has power over the other, or are of different sexes. Charges o f sexual misconduct may be handled according to either informal or formal proce­ dures. Regardless o f whether or no t options for resolution are pursued within the College sys­ tem, complainants always have the option of filing charges in civil or criminal court. It is im­ portant to note that discussing concerns with or seeking clarification or support from the 50 gender education adviser, a dean, or others does not obligate a person to file a formal com­ plaint initiating judicial procedures. T h e gen­ der education adviser will register each request for assistance in resolving a case involving charges o f sexual misconduct, whether formal or informal. These records will be kept confi­ dential to the extent permitted by law. Sexual A ssault and A buse Students are prohibited from engaging in sexu­ al assault or abuse o f any kind. D efinition: Sexual assault is defined as any sex­ ual contact that occurs without the consent of the other person. Specifically, it is intentional physical contact with an intimate part of the body or with clothes covering intimate body parts w ithout the consent o f th e person touched. Sexual assault includes but is not lim­ ited to sexual penetration o f an unwilling per­ son’s genital, anal, or oral openings; touching an unwilling person’s intimate parts such as genitalia, groin, breasts, lips, buttocks, or the clothes covering them; or forcing an unwilling person to touch another person’s intimate parts or clothes covering them. W hen sexual assault occurs repeatedly between individuals, it is re­ ferred to as sexual abuse. C onsent: Students have the responsibility to ensure that any sexual interaction occurs only with mutual consent. If a person indicates that she/he does not want sexual contact, then any further sexual contact is considered to be with­ out the person’s consent. If the person has agreed to sexual interaction, she or he has the right to change her/his mind and indicate that she/he no longer wants to continue the inter­ action. A person has the right to indicate she/he does not want any further sexual con­ tact no matter how much sexual interaction has already taken place. Valid consent cannot be obtained from someone who is asleep, un­ conscious, coerced, or is otherwise unable to give informed, free, and considered consent. It must be emphasized that the consumption of alcohol and other drugs may substantially im­ pair judgment and the ability to give consent. Those who willingly permit themselves to be­ come impaired by alcohol or other drugs may be putting themselves at greater risk, but this impaired state provides no defense for those who take advantage of people whose judgment and control are impaired. Sexual H arassm ent The following definition is based on that for­ mulated by the Federal Equal Opportunity Commission. Sexual harassment, a form of dis­ crimination based on sex, gender, or sexual ori­ entation, clearly endangers the environment of mutual respect and is prohibited. Because be­ havior that constitutes sexual harassment is a violation of federal law (Title V II of the Civil Rights A ct o f 1964, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972), any individual who feels that she or he has been subjected to sexu­ al harassment has the right to initiate legal proceedings in criminal or civil court in addi­ tion to or in lieu o f a complaint pursuant to this policy. Definition: Sexual harassment is of two basic types: (a) any action, verbal expression, usual­ ly repeated or persistent, or series of actions or expressions that have either the intent, or are reasonably perceived as having the effect, of creating an intimidating, hostile, or demeaning educational, employment, or living environ­ ment for a student or College employee, by fo­ cusing on that person’s gender. A hostile envi­ ronment is defined as one that interferes with the ability to learn, exist in living conditions, work (if employed by the College), or have ac­ cess and opportunity to participate in all and any aspect of campus life (harassment creating a hostile environment); (b) any action in which submission to conduct of a sexual nature is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual’s education or em­ ployment, or submission to or rejection of such conduct is used as the basis for academic or em­ ployment decisions affecting that individual, (quid pro quo harassment). Because at Swarthmore it is not unusual for students to supervise other students or for stu­ dents to have actual or perceived power or in­ fluence over another students academic perfor­ mance (e.g., student graders, student laborato­ ry assistants, and student writing associates), there can exist a power imbalance between stu­ dents that makes it possible for quid pro quo harassment to occur between them. Descriptions: Sexually harassing behaviors differ in type and severity and can range from subtle verbal harassment to unwelcome physical con­ tact. Sexual harassment includes but is not lim­ ited to (a) unwelcome verbal or physical ad­ vances, persistent leers, lewd comments; (b) the persistent use o f irrelevant references that insult or degrade a person’s gender, or the use of sex stereotypes to insult or degrade; (c) the use by a person in authority of his or her position to coerce another person to do something o f a sexual nature that she or he would not other­ wise do. Coercion need not involve physical force. Scope and resolution: There is a wide range of behaviors that falls within the general defini­ tion o f sexual harassment and many differing notions o f what behaviors are and are not ac­ ceptable. Key factors that determine instances o f sexual harassment are that the behavior is unwelcome, is gender based, and is reasonably perceived as offensive and objectionable. Such behavior need not produce or threaten some tangible loss to the receiver in order to be deemed harassment. If it is unclear that the be­ havior constitutes harassment, a person who thinks she or he has been harassed should not spend considerable time struggling alone with this issue. Students are strongly encouraged to bring their issues to the gender education ad­ viser, a dean, or others trained in this area for support, clarification, and to discuss options for informal resolution or formal adjudication. In cases in which the harassment is subtle, it cannot be assumed that the offending person is aware o f the way in which his or her behavior has been interpreted. There are several ways to make a person aware that his or her behavior constitutes sexual harassment. T h e grievant is never under any obligation to take any steps that would cause him or her to come into con­ tact with the harasser in ways he or she is un­ willing to do. Instead, the grievant can consid­ er all the informal and formal means open to him of her for resolution and choose what seems most useful and workable in his or her particular case. T h e grievant must also weigh, however, the fact that without in some way being made aware o f his or her actions, the ha­ rasser may continue the offensive behavior. In the most serious instances o f sexual harass­ ment, it is unreasonable to expect grievants to confront their perceived harassers; in these cases the grievant should enlist the help of a trained third party such as the gender educa­ tion adviser, a dean, or another person trained in this area. It is important to remember that any member o f the community can be guilty o f sexually ha- 51 College Life rassing any other member regardless o f position of authority or status. Although students have often found it difficult to come forward when the perceived harasser is in a position of au­ thority or is threatening, procedures are in place to respond and to provide support throughout the resolution process. Support Support is available through the gender educa­ tion adviser, a group o f trained faculty and staff members comprising the response team, and the deans for students who feel that they have been subjected to any form of sexual miscon­ duct. Consultation with any o f these individu­ als in no way limits a student’s options for res­ olution nor commits the student to a particular course o f action. T h e College also provides support when requested through the Deans Office to those students charged with sexual misconduct. T here are specific rights for com ­ plainants o f sexual misconduct and for those students accused o f sexual misconduct; these rights are listed in detail in th e Student H an dbook. In addition, students are encour­ aged to discuss their concerns with a dean when deciding whether to file a formal com ­ plaint. R elated Policies T h e College also has sexual misconduct poli­ cies as they relate to staff-student behavior and faculty-student behavior. T h e College policy governing staff and the related grievance pro­ cedure can be found in the S ta ff H andbook. T he College policy governing faculty and the relat­ ed grievance procedure can be found in the Facuity H andbook. 4. Actions Potentially Injurious to Oneself or Others A lcohol and O ther D rugs T h e possession and use o f alcoholic beverages on the campus are regulated by federal, state, and local law and are limited to those areas of the campus specified by Student Council and the dean. T h e observance o f moderation and decorum with respect to drink is a student obligation. In addition to accountability for specific behavior and guidelines described in the College policy on alcohol and other drugs, it is important to note that being under the in­ fluence of alcohol or other drugs is no t an ex­ cuse for violation of the Statem ent o f Student Rights, R esponsibilities, and C ode o f C onduct and 52 does n o t reduce a students accountability. For a complete description of the Colleges alcoholic beverage policy guidelines, please see the sec­ tion in the Student H andbook. T h e use, possession, or distribution o f injurious drugs or narcotics without the specific recom­ mendation of a physician and knowledge o f the deans subjects a student to possible suspension or expulsion. Sm oking Smoking is prohibited in all public spaces throughout th e C ollege: m eeting rpoms, lounges, offices, and halls. A $25 fine will be charged for violating this policy, and students can be removed from nonsmoking College housing if they smoke in rooms on nonsmoking halls. Smoking is allowed outdoors and in the student’s room (in certain residence halls), pro­ vided that the door remains closed. Climbing on College Buildings or Structures Climbing on any College building, or being present on building roofs is not allowed. In un­ usual circumstances, arrangements to climb predesignated locations may be coordinated through the Public Safety Department. F ire Safety E quipm ent and Alarm s Tampering or interference with, as well as de­ struction or misuse of, fire safety and fire pre­ vention equipment is prohibited and is a viola­ tion of state law. A n automatic fine of $125 for each piece o f equipment plus the cost of re­ placement of equipment is charged to any stu­ dent violating this regulation, and further dis­ ciplinary action may be taken. A ny student who causes an alarm to be set off for improper purposes is liable for the expenses incurred by the fire department(s) in responding to the alarm. If no individuals accept responsibility when a violation o f this policy occurs in a res­ idence hall, all residents of that residence hall are subject to fines and charges for costs in­ curred by the College and/or fire departm ent(s). F irea rm s; Firew orks No student may possess or use a firearm on Swarthmore College property or its environs. Firearms, including rifles, shotguns, handguns, air guns, and gas-powered guns and all ammu­ nition or hand-loading equipment and supplies for the same are no t allowed in any student res­ idence or in any College building. Requests for exceptions must be made to the dean. No stu­ dent may possess or use fireworks on Swarthmore College property or its environs. Reckless C on du ct Conduct that places oneself or another in im­ minent danger o f bodily harm is prohibited. The standard as to what constitutes imminent danger is solely at the discretion o f the dean and/or the judicial body hearing the case. 5. College and Peisonal Property Illegal E n try Unauthorized entry into or presence within enclosed and/or posted College buildings or areas, including student rooms or offices, even when unlocked, is prohibited and may subject a student to fines and other sanctions. Locks and Keys Tampering with locks to College buildings, unauthorized possession or use of College keys, and alteration or duplication o f College keys is against college policy. T heft or D am age Theft and negligent or intentional damage to personal or College property will subject a stu­ dent to paying for the repair or replacement of the damaged property as well as to disciplinary action. In the event that damage occurs in a residence hall for which no one assumes re­ sponsibility, payment for damages will be di­ vided equally among all residents o f that hall. For damage that occurs during a student event in a space other than a residence hall and for which no individual student(s) accept(s) re­ sponsibility, the sponsoring students and/or or­ ganization will be held accountable for the money for replacement or repair o f the dam­ aged property and may be subject to further disciplinary action. Parking No student may park an autom obile on College property without permission from the Car Authorization Comm ittee, a student-ad­ ministration group. 6. Guests Friends of Swarthmore students are welcome on campus. If a guest of a student will be stay­ ing in a residence hall over night, the resident assistant and the housekeeper must be notified. A guest is not permitted to stay in a residence ball more than four consecutive nights. Requests for exceptions must be made to the director of residential life. Student hosts are responsible for the conduct o f their guests on campus and will be held ac­ countable for any violation o f the code o f con­ duct or other rules o f the College committed by a guest. 7 . Disorderly Conduct Students at Swarthmore College have the right to express their views, feelings, and beliefs in­ side and outside the classroom and to support causes publicly, including by demonstrations and other means. These freedoms o f expression extend so far as conduct does no t impinge on the rights of other members o f the community or the order­ ly and essential operations o f the College. Disorderly conduct is not permitted. V iolation o f the orderly operation o f the College includes but is not limited to (1) ex­ cessive noise, noise, once identified, which in­ terferes with classes, College offices, dorm neighbors, or other campus and community ac­ tivities; (2) unauthorized entry into or occupa­ tion o f a private work area; (3) conduct that re­ stricts or prevents faculty or staff from perform­ ing their duties; (4) failure to m aintain clear passage into or out o f any college building or passageway. 8. Violation of Local, State, or Federal Law V iolation o f the laws o f any jurisdiction, whether local, state, federal, or (when on for­ eign study) foreign, may at the discretion o f the dean, subject a student to College disciplinary action. A pending appeal o f a conviction shall not affect the application o f this rule. STUDENT JUDICIAL SYSTEM T h e formal judicial system at Swarthmore College has two main components: (1) adjudi­ cation by individual deans o f minor infractions o f College regulations, where a finding of guilt would result in a sanction less severe than sus­ pension; and (2) adjudication by the College Judicial Comm ittee (C JC ) o f serious infrac­ tions o f College regulations, including all for­ mal charges o f academic dishonesty, assault, harassment, or sexual misconduct. T h e C JC is composed of faculty, staff, and administrators who have undergone training for their role. 53 College Life In all cases o f formal adjudication, whether by a dean or by the C JC , the deans will keep records of the violation(s) and o f the sanc­ tio n ^ ) imposed on a student. Sanctions are cu­ mulative, increasing in severity for repeat of­ fenders. N otational sanctions are recorded per­ manently on the back o f the students record card but do no t appear on the face o f the acad­ em ic record. Therefore, an official transcript of an academic record, which is a copy o f the face o f the record card, does no t reflect notational sanctions. Non-notational sanctions are not so recorded but are entered into the students per­ sonal file as a separate letter that is destroyed at the time o f the student’s graduation. These formal procedures are separate from the various informal methods o f conflict resolution available such as facilitated discussion by a dean or other trained facilitators, or mediation, a nonadversarial method o f resolving interper­ sonal disputes. It is important to remember that all possible avenues o f conflict resolution be considered thoroughly when deciding on a course o f action. A more complete description o f the judicial system is available from the Office of the Dean or in the Student H andbook. HOUSING Swarthmore is primarily a residential college, conducted on the assumption that the close as­ sociation of students and instructors is an im­ portant elem ent in education. Most students live in College residence halls. New students are required to live in the residence halls. R esid en c e H alls Twelve residence halls, ranging in capacity from 21 to 214 students, offer a diversity of housing styles. Several o f the residence halls are a 5- to 15-minute walk to the center of campus. Swarthmore’s residence halls are Dana and Hallowell halls; one building on the Mary Lyon School property; Mertz Hall, the gift of Harold and Esther Mertz; Palmer, Pittinger, and Roberts halls on South Chester Road; the upper floors in the wings o f Parrish Hall; W harton Hall, named in honor o f its donor, Joseph W harton, a one-tim e president o f the Board of Managers; W illets Hall, made possible largely by a bequest from Phebe Seaman and named in honor o f her mother and aunts; 54 W oolman House; and W orth Hall, the gift of William P. and J . Sharpies Worth, as a memor­ ial to their parents. A bout 85 percent o f residence hall areas are designated as coeducational housing either by floor, section, or entire building; the remaining areas are single-sex housing. Although single­ sex options are offered, they are no t guaran­ teed. Students should not expect to live in sin­ gle-sex housing for all four years. In these sin­ gle-sex sections, students may determine their own visitation hours up to and including 24hour visitation. First-year students are assigned to rooms by the deans. Efforts are made to follow the prefer­ ences indicated and to accommodate special needs, such as documented disabilities. Other students choose their rooms in an order deter­ mined by lot or by invoking special options— among these are block housing, allowing friends to apply as a group for a section of a par­ ticular hall. There is also the opportunity to re­ side at neighboring Bryn Mawr and Haverford Colleges in a cross-campus housing exchange that proceeds on a matched one-for-one basis. First- and second-year students typically reside in one-room doubles while juniors and seniors have a wider selection o f room types. A ll stu­ dents are expected to occupy the rooms to which they are assigned or which they have se­ lected through the regular room choosing process unless authorized by the deans to move. Permission must also be obtained from the deans to reside outside College housing. Resident assistants, selected from the junior and senior classes, are assigned to each of the residence hall sections. These leader? help cre­ ate activities for students, serve as support ad­ visers to their hallmates, and help enforce College rules for the comfort and safety of the residents. Residence halls remain open during October, Thanksgiving, and spring breaks but are closed to student occupancy during winter vacation. N o meals are served during October and spring breaks. A t the end of the fall semester, students are expected to vacate their rooms within 24 hours after their last scheduled examinations. Freshmen, sophomores, and juniors are expect­ ed to leave immediately after their last exami­ nation in the spring so that their rooms may be prepared for use by Commencement visitors. Storage areas are provided in each residence I I hall plus a limited-access storage room for | valuables. SOCIAL CENTERS Tarble Social C en ter | | | | | | | I The insurance program for the College is designed to provide protection for College property and does not include the property of students or others. Students and their parents are strongly urged to review their insurance program in order to be sure that coverage is extended to include personal effects while at college. | | | | I More detailed housing rules and regulations are found in the Student H an dbook, updated and distributed each year, and in the G uide to the H ousing L ottery, published before the spring housing lottery. Sharpies D in in g H a ll All students living on campus are required to I subscribe to the College board plan for meals in the Philip T . Sharpies D ining Hall. | Students living off campus may purchase the | board plan if they wish or a $400 debit card | available from the dining services. W ithin the | contracted 20-meal program, each student has | access to three admissions to Sharpies Dining | Hall Monday through Saturday and two ad| missions on Sunday, based on our weekly meal | programming. Dining Services offers a 14| meal plan with a $100 declining balance per | semester for sophomores, juniors, and seniors. I There are 14 meals offered per week that can | be used at Sharpies for a meal or Essie Mae’s | in Tarble in exchange for meal credit. T h e | $100 per semester declining balance can be | used as cash at Sharpies, Essie Mae’s or the | coffee bar at Kohlberg Hall. If you do not use | the $100 in a semester, there is no refund or | credit. HI | I I | | | | | Although an effort is made to meet the dietary needs o f all students, not all special requirements can be accommodated; permission to reside off campus after their first year at Swarthmore will be extended to students not able to participate in the board plan. T h e dining hall is closed during the fall, winter, and spring breaks. Through the original generosity o f Newton E. Tarble of the Class o f 1913 and his widow, Louise A . Tarble, the reconstructed Tarble Social Center in Clothier Memorial opened in April 1986. T h e facility includes recre­ ational areas, a snack bar, lounge, student ac­ tivities offices, a multipurpose performance space as well as the bookstore. Under the leadership o f a Student A ctivities Coordi­ nator, student co-directors, and the Social Affairs Committee, many major social activi­ ties (parties, concerts, plays, etc.) are held in Tarble. O ther C enters T he W om en’s R esource C en ter (W R C ) is a space open to all women on campus. It is or­ ganized and run by a student board of direc­ tors to bring together women of the commu­ nity with multiple interests and concerns. T h e resources o f the center include a library, kitchen, various meeting spaces, computer, and phone. T h e W R C also sponsors events throughout the year that are open to any member o f the College community. T he B lack C ultural C en ter (B C C ), located in the Caroline Hadley Robinson House, pro­ vides a library, classroom, computer room, T V lounge, kitchen, all-purpose room, a living room/gallery, two study rooms, and adminis­ trative offices. T h e B C C offers programming, activities, and resources designed to stimulate and sustain the cultural, intellectual and so­ cial growth of Swarthmore’s black students, their organizations and community. Further, the B C C functions as a catalyst for change and support to the College’s effort to achieve pluralism. T h e B C C ’s programs are open to all members o f the College community. T h e B C C is guided by the director, Tim Sams, with the assistance o f a committee o f black students, faculty, and administrators. See the B C C ’s W eb site at www.swarthmore.edu/admin/bcc/, or contact us at 610-328-8456. T he Intercultural C en ter (IC ) is a multipurpose center devoted to developing greater aware­ ness o f Asian/Asian A m erican, Latino/ Hispanic, gay/lesbian/bisexual, and Native A m erican contributions to Swarthmore College as well as the broader society. T h e IC 55 College Life provides a supportive environment where stu­ dents are welcomed to discuss and understand the educational, political, and social concerns that affect their groups. T h e IC fosters the ed­ ucation o f its members and the wider commu­ nity about cultural, ethnic, class, gender, and sexual orientation differences. Through co­ sponsoring programs and building alliances with the administration, other campus groups and departments, the IC increases diversity and respect for differences at all levels o f cam ­ pus life. T h e new Intercultural C en ter Resource C enter will be in place by fall 2001. T h e Resource C en te r will include A sian American, Hispanic/Latino/a, Native Amer­ ican and queer books, journals, films, videos, scholarships, academic resources and alumni outreach information such as the alumni data­ base, alumni m entor program, and alumni speaker series. T h e IC center and its programs are directed by A ctin g D irector M eghna Bhagat with the assistance o f three interns and administrative assistants. See the IC W eb site at www.swarthmore.edu/admin/IC, or tele­ phone (6 1 0 ) 328-7350. T h e director, interns, and the administrative assistant are responsible for the center’s pro­ gramming and operational functions. T h e 1C is located in the far southern com er of Tarble in Clothier. T h e center is open Monday through Sunday, 8 :30 a.m. to midnight. To reach the IC director or any o f the three organizations, please call (6 1 0 ) 328-7350. Adjunct cen ters: There are two fraternities at Swarthmore: Delta Upsilon, affiliated with a national organization, and Phi Om icron Psi, a local association. T h e fraternities are student organizations considered adjuncts to the C ollege social program; they receive no College or Student A ctivities funds. T h e fra­ ternities, Delta Upsilon and Phi Om icron Psi, m aintain separate lodges on campus that they rent from the College. T h e lodges do not con­ tain dormitory accommodations or eating facil­ ities. New members' usually jo in fraternities after at least one semester at the College. In re­ cent years, about 7 percent o f male students have decided to affiliate with one of the frater­ nities. 56 RELIGIOUS ADVISERS Religious advisers are located in the Interfaith Center in Bond Hall and currently consist of Jewish, C atholic, and Protestant professionals. T h e advisers and the Interfaith C enter provide members of the Swarthmore community op­ portunities and resources, in an atmosphere free from the dynamics of persuasion, in which they can explore a variety o f spiritual, ethical, and moral meanings; pursue religious and cul­ tural identities; and engage in interfaith educa­ tion and dialogue. T h e center comprises of­ fices, a large common worship room, and a pri­ vate meditation room. Student groups o f many faiths also exist for the purpose o f studying religious texts, participat­ ing in community service projects, and explor­ ing common concerns o f religious faith, spiri­ tuality, and culture. Various services are available on campus, and area religious communities welcome Swarth­ more students. HEALTH W orth H ealth Center T h e W orth H ealth Center, a gift o f the Worth family in memory o f W illiam Penn W orth and Caroline Hallowell, houses offices o f the nurs­ es, consulting physicians, nutritionist, H IV test counselor, outpatient treatment facilities, of­ fices of Psychological Services staff, and rooms for students who require inpatient care. Psychological Services is administered sepa­ rately from the H ealth Service and is housed in the North W ing o f W orth Health Center. H ealth and Psychological Services open with the arrival o f the first-year class in the fall and close for the winter break and for the summer following com m encem ent in the spring. Students must make their own arrangements for health and psychological care when the H ealth Center is closed. T h e C ollege contracts w ith the Crozer Keystone Health System for physician services. Should in-hospital treatment be indicated, one o f these consultant physicians will oversee the care if the student is admitted to Crozer Chester Medical Center, a medical school-af­ filiated teaching hospital. Insurance The medical facilities o f the College are avail­ able to students who are ill or who are injured in athletic activities or otherwise, but the College cannot assume additional financial re­ sponsibility for medical, surgical, or psycholog­ ical expenses that are not covered by an indi­ vidual’s health insurance. W e expect most stu­ dents to be insured through family or other plans. For those who have no health insurance or whose insurance does not meet our specifi­ cations, we offer a functional plan at a cost of $639.- Students on financial aid may have a portion of the cost o f the premium defrayed. Students and family are responsible for medical expenses incurred while students are enrolled at college. Students who have no insurance, or students with insurers who have no local office or arrangements with local HM Os, do not pro­ vide for emergency and urgent care locally, do not cover hospital admissions locally, or do not provide coverage while studying abroad should enroll in the College Plan. T h e College pro­ vides health insurance for students who are ac­ tively participating in intercollegiate and club sports. For further information, please consult the insurance leaflet mailed to all students at the beginning o f each academic year, the Health Center administrative assistant, or the trainer. Health Services Physicians and nurse practitioners hold hours every weekday at the College, where students may consult them without charge. Students should report any illness to the H ealth Center staff but are free to seek treatment at another facility if they prefer to do so. Also, the Health Service staff members are willing to coordinate care with personal health care providers. As a part o f the matriculation process, each student must submit a brief medical history and health certificate prepared by the family health care provider on the health certificate supplied by the College. Pertinent information about such matters as medical or psychological prob­ lems, handicaps, allergies, medications, or psy­ chiatric disturbances will be especially valuable to the College Health Service in assisting each student. A ll this information will be kept con­ fidential. Each student is allowed 10 days in-patient care in the Health Center per term without charge. Students suffering from communicable disease, such as chicken pox, may no t remain in their residence hall room and, therefore, must stay in the H ealth Center or go home for the peri­ od o f their illness. Ordinary medications are furnished without cost up to a total of $300 per semester. A charge is made for special medi­ cines and immunizations, certain laboratory tests, and transportation when necessary to local hospitals. T h e Health Center staff cooperates closely with the Physical Education and A thletics Department. Recommendations for limited ac­ tivity may be made for those students with physical handicaps. Rarely are students ex­ cused entirely from the requirements of the Physical Education Department because adap­ tive programs are offered. Psychological Services Services for students include counseling and psychotherapy, after-hours emergency-on-call availability, consultation regarding the use of psychiatric drugs or other concerns, and educa­ tional talks and workshops. Psychological Services participates in training resident assis­ tants and provides consultation to staff, facul­ ty, and parents. T h e staff o f Psychological Services comprises a diverse group o f psychological, social wod offk, and psychiatric professionals. T h e director and staff collectively provide regular appointment times Monday through Friday. Students may be referred to outside mental health practitioners at their request or when long-term or highly specialized services are needed. W e m aintain a strict policy o f confidentiality except where there may be an imminent threat o f life or safety. Requests for service may be made in person or by phone (x8059) between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. In the event of an after-hours emergency, contact the Health Center (x8058) or Public Safety (x8333). Information regarding readmission after with­ drawal for health related reasons may be found in the section o f Student Leaves o f Absence, Withdrawal, and Réadmissions (pp. 79-80).

Requests for a change o f adviser should be addressed to the associate dean and will be freely granted, subject only to equity in the number o f advisees assigned to individual fac­ ulty members. T h e deans hold overall responsibility for the advising system. They are themselves available to all students for advice on any academic or personal matter and for assistance with special needs, such as those arising from physical dis­ abilities. A cadem ic Support A program of academic support is available to help all students with difficulties they might encounter in their courses. R ecent innovations include a Student Academic Mentoring pro­ gram open especially to first-year students as well as upper-class students, and a January Academic Skills Workshop. Additional pro­ grams include time management workshops; test-taking workshops; special review sections and clinics attached to introductory courses in the natural sciences, philosophy, and econom­ ics; a mathematics lab; an expository writing course; a reading and study skills workshop; and tutors. These programs are overseen by the deans in cooperation with the academic de­ partments. There are no fees required for any of these supportive services. To meet the needs of writers who would like as­ sistance or feedback, a W riting Center has been established. T h e center is staffed by writ­ ing associates, students trained to assist their peers with all stages of the writing process. T h e center is located in Trotter Hall and operates on a drop-in basis. W riting associates are as­ signed on a regular basis to selected courses. C a reer Services T h e Career Services Office works with stu­ dents to help them develop knowledge of themselves, o f careers, and o f the world of work, to advance their career planning and de­ cision-making abilities, and to help them de­ velop job-finding and application skills. 58 Individual counseling and group sessions help students expand their career options through exploration o f their values, skills, interests, abilities, and experiences. Programs are for stu­ dents in all classes and are developmental in nature. Career exploration and experiential education are encouraged during summer internships and jobs, during a semester or year off, ahd during the school year. Students taking a leave of ab­ sence from Swarthmore can participate in the College Venture Program, which assists under­ graduates taking time off from school with finding worthwhile employment during their time away. Assistance is provided ih helping students locate and secure appropriate jobs, in­ ternships, and volunteer opportunities and to help students gain the most they can from these experiences. Sophomore and junior stu­ dents, in particular, are encouraged to test op­ tions by participating in the Extern Program. T his program provides on-site experience in a variety of career fields by pairing students with an alumnus/a to work on a mutually planned task during one or more weeks of vacation. Additional help is provided through career inform ation panels and presentations, attendance at off-campus job and career fairs, field trips to work sites, workshops on topics such as resume writing and cover letter writing, interviewing skills, and job search techniques. The office cooperates with the Alum ni Office, the Alumni Association, and the Parents Council to help put students in touch with a wide network o f people who can be of assistance to them. T h e Career Resources library includes many publications concerning all stages of the job search process. T h e office hosts on-campus recruiting by representatives from business, industry, government, nonprofit organizations, and graduate and professional schools. Access is provided to the programs and information of Experience.com, an on-line provider of recruiting and career information.

Athletics Swarthmore’s athletic policy is based on the premise that any sports program must be justi­ fied by the contributions that it can make to the educational development o f the individual student who chooses to participate. In keeping with this fundamental policy, Swarthmore’s athletic program is varied, offering every stu­ dent a chance to take part in a wide range of sports. W ithin the limits o f finance, personnel, and facilities, the College feels that it is desir­ able to have as many students as possible com ­ peting on its intercollegiate or club teams, or in intramural sports. Many faculty members serve as advisers for several o f the varsity athletic teams. They work closely with the teams, at­ tending practices and many o f the scheduled contests. Extracurricular A ctivities There is a great variety o f extracurricular life more fully detailed in the G uide to Student L ife. The more than 100 student organizations range in scope from Stu dent C o u n cil to Amnesty International to W SR N (the student radio station). Social, athletic, political, cul­ tural, and community groups also provide stu­ dents with a wealth o f opportunity and choice.

For more than 3 0 years, Swarthmore College students have volunteered time to suc­ cessfully tutor and mentor hundreds o f TRIO/ Upward Bound participants. T h e program is administered by a full-time project director, C . Kemal Nance. THE OFFICE OF COMMUNITY SERVICE LEARNING PROGRAMS O ne o f the College’s most tangible examples of its commitment to foster a deep sense o f ethi­ cal and social concern is its support o f student involvement in community service learning, advocacy, and social change. T h e office of Community Service Learning Programs, locat­ ed in Parrish 294, connects community-articu­ lated needs with students, faculty, and staff in­ terested in making a difference; and promotes student leadership in development and imple­ m entation o f community-based initiatives.

T h e office is staffed by Director Patricia James. 61 College Life C om m unity-based learning. T h e office supports the College’s commitment to employ commu­ nity-based learning in the curriculum. T h e of­ fice maintains a clearinghouse o f nearly 500 in­ ternship and volunteer opportunities and sup­ ports students and faculty to identify intern­ ship and service learning opportunities congru­ ent with students’ interests, skills, and person­ al and academic goals. T h e office also supports faculty to develop and implement curricula that employ community-based learning. T h e C hester Road O rien tation Program (C R O P ) is a preorientation program for firstyear and transfer students interested in multi­ cultural leadership in service and activism. T he goals of the program are to foster an early in­ terest in civic involvement, community ser­ vice, and activism; introduce participants to Swarthmore’s commitment to build a welcom­ ing multicultural College community; and forge relationships between participants and community partners that last beyond the scope of the program. C R O P combines small-group experiential exercises with intensive, commu­ nity-based service. Skilled staff trainers, stu­ dent facilitators, and community leaders coor­ dinate activities, discussions, and guided reflec­ tions. A ctivities include walking from the College to Chester, meeting with community activists, and exploring service and social ac­ tion opportunities in Chester and the sur­ rounding area.

T h e Sw arthm ore Foundation T h e Swarthmore Foundation provides grants twice a year to support faculty, staff, and stu­ dents (including graduating seniors) to under­ take community service projects; Recipients may use awards to create new projects, to pur­ chase materials for projects in which they par­ ticipate, and to cover basic living expenses while working with service or activist organiza­ tions. T h e foundation also administers the Landis Community Service Fellowship and T h e Jo h n W. N ason Comm unity Service Fellowship. T h e foundation, administered by the office, provides grants o f up to $2,500 for students, faculty, and staff to conduct community service and social change projects. Grants support pro­ gram and living expenses and are offered two times per year. T h e office supports the work of Lang S cholars and coordinates th e Lang Opportunity O pen C om petition, which provides grants o f up to $ 1 0,000 to conduct more sub­ stantive service and social change projects. The John W . N ason Comm unity Service Fellowship The Joh n W. Nason Comm unity Service Fellowship celebrates th e contribu tion o f Swarthmore’s eighth president by supporting students to conduct off-campus community service projects related to their academic pro­ grams. T h e Nason Fellowship was initiated by members o f the Class of 1945 in anticipation of their 50th reunion. Summer of S erv ice: L et Your L ife Speak George Fox said to his Quaker congregation, “Let your life speak.” During the summer of 2000, the College initiated a program called Summer of Service, pairing 25 students with paid community service internships and giving them the opportunity to “let their lives speak.” The eventual goal o f the program is to enable all students to participate in one Summer of Service before graduation. T h e purpose of Summer of Service is to provide opportunities to all students to participate in summer com­ munity service, regardless o f their financial sit­ uations; and to give them valuable hands-on experience in organizational and community settings that make a difference. 1882, and to the Alumni Council, the govern­ ing body of the Alumni Association. T he Alumni Office also gives staff support to re­ gional alumni and parent groups, called C onn ections, in A ustin, Texas; Boston; Charlottesville, Va.; Chicago; Los Angeles; M etro DC/Baltimore; M etro N Y C ; N orth Carolina; Paris, France; Philadelphia; Pitts­ burgh; San Francisco; and Seattle. There are 17,425 alumni: 8,946 men, 8,479 women, and 1,206 married to each other, giv­ ing substance to the traditional appellation for the College o f the “Quaker M atchbox.” T he College defines an alumnus/a as anyone who has completed one semester. COLLEGE PUBLICATIONS T h e Publications Office creates a variety of printed communications for the College com­ munity. T h e quarterly Sw arthm ore C ollege Bulletin is sent free o f charge to all alumni, par­ ents, friends, and members o f the senior class. O ther publications produced by the office in­ clude an annual engagement calendar, a report o f donations to the College, a parents newslet­ ter, and this catalog. Members o f the publica­ tions staff and a student intern provide editor­ ial, photographic, graphic design, and print production services to other offices on campus. ALUMNI RELATIONS NEWS AND INFORMATION Alumni Relations is the primary communica­ tion link between the College and its alumni, enabling them to m aintain an ongoing rela­ tionship with each other. Som e of the office’s programs and activities include A lum ni Weekend, an Alumni College, alumni gather­ ings all over the country, and alumni travel. The Alumni Office hires students as interns and to help at alumni events on campus. The Alumni Office works closely with Career Services to facilitate networking between stu­ dents and alumni and among alumni, to take advantage of the invaluable experience repre­ sented among the alumni. T h e Alumni Office also helps officers o f the senior class and alum­ ni groups plan special events. The Alumni Office gives staff support to the Alumni Association, which was founded in T h e Office o f News and Information works with the faculty, students, and staff to commu­ nicate information about Swarthmore to the public, primarily through media relations, the Internet, and direct mailings. T h e office publi­ cizes campus events, programs, and research and works to position faculty members as ex­ pert news sources. T h e office also responds to information requests from the media, initiates coverage o f Swarthmore in the media, and leads the development and m aintenance of the College W eb site. T h e News and Information Office prepares two publications. On C am pus, a monthly schedule o f campus activities that are open to the public, is distributed on request to more than 2 ,0 0 0 households in the Philadelphia area. T h e W eekly N ew s, a news- 63 College Life letter o f events and announcements, is distrib­ uted to faculty, staff, and students. T h e office lends support for special events and projects and provides public relations counsel for the College. 64 IV Educational Program Faculty Regulations Degree Requirements Awards and Prizes Fellowships 65 Educational Program GENERAL STATEMENT Swarthmore College offers the degree of bach­ elor o f arts and the degree o f bachelor o f sci­ ence. T h e latter is given only to students who major in engineering. Four years o f resident study are normally required for a bachelor’s degree (see p. 8 1 ), but variation in this term, particularly as a result o f Advanced Placement credit, is possible (see p. 25). T h e selection o f a program will depend upon the student’s interests and vocational plans. T h e purpose o f a liberal arts education, howev­ er, is no t primarily to provide vocational instruction, even though it provides the best foundation for one’s future vocation. Its pur­ pose is to help students fulfill their responsibil­ ities as citizens and grow into cultivated and versatile individuals. A liberal education is concerned with the development o f moral, spiritual, and aesthetic values as well as analyt­ ical abilities. Furthermore, just as a liberal edu­ cation is concerned with the cultural inheri­ tance o f the past, so too it is intended to devel­ op citizens who will guide societies on a sus­ tainable course where future culture will no t be compromised in the development o f the pre­ sent. Intellectually, it aims to enhance resourcefulness, serious curiosity, open-mind­ edness, perspective, logical coherence, and insight. During the first half o f their college program, all students are expected to satisfy most, if not all, o f the distribution requirements, to choose their major and minor subjects, and to prepare for advanced work in these subjects by taking certain prerequisites. T h e normal program consists o f four courses each semester, chosen by the student in consultation with his or her faculty adviser. A ll students must fulfill the requirements for the major, and before the end o f the senior year, students are required to pass a compre­ hensive exam ination or its equivalent, given by the major department. For Honors candidates, courses and seminars taken as preparation for external evaluation occupy approximately one-half o f the student’s work during the last two years. In addition to work taken as a part o f the Honors program, the students take other courses which provide opportunities for further exploration. During the senior, year many departments offer a spe­ 66 cially designed Sen ior Honors Study for Honors m ajors and minors to encourage enhancem ent and integration o f the Honors preparations. A t the close o f the senior year, candidates for Honors will be evaluated by vis­ iting examiners. In the spring o f 2000, the faculty voted to make minors available to all students, whether Honors or not and to place a limit on the num­ ber o f majors and minors a student can pursue. Students in the Class o f ’02 will be governed by the policies o f the old program o f major(s) and concentration(s). Students in the Class of ’04 and thereafter will be governed by the rules of the new program o f major(s) and minor(s). Students in the Class o f ’03 may choose to fol­ low the old program or the new program. For details o f the old and new programs, see below under “Majors, Minors, and Concentrations.” T h e program for engineering students follows a similar basic plan, with certain variations, which are explained on p. 153. Courses outside the technical fields are distributed over all four years. T h e course advisers o f freshmen and sopho­ mores are members o f the faculty appointed by the dean. For juniors and seniors, the advisers are the chairs o f their major departments or their representatives. PROGRAM FOR FRESHMEN AND SOPHOMORES T h e major goals o f the first two years of a Swarthmore education are to introduce stu­ dents to a broad range o f intellectual pursuits, to equip them with the analytic and expressive skills required to engage in those pursuits, and to foster a critical stance toward learning and knowing. T h e College distribution require­ ments are designed to aid students in achieving these goals. To m eet the distribution requirem ents, a student m ust: 1. Complete at least 20 credits outside the major department before graduation. 2. Take at least 3 credits in each o f the three divisions o f the College (listed later), the third credit o f which can be A P credit or credit awarded for work done elsewhere. 3. O f the 3 credits in each division, take at least 2 credits that are in different departmen­ tal subjects and are also designated primary dis­ tribution courses. T his will make a total o f six primary distribution courses, each in a different department or program, and spanning the three divisions equally. For purposes o f the distribution requirements the three divisions o f the College are consti­ tuted as follows: H um anities: A rt, Classics (literature), English Literature, M odem Languages and Literatures, Music and Dance, Philosophy, Religion. N atural S cien ces an d E ngineering: Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Engineering, M athematics and Statistics, Physics and Astronomy. Social S cien ces: Classics (an cien t history), Economics, Education, History, Linguistics, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology and Anthropology. A few courses do not satisfy the divisional dis­ tribution requirement. These are identified as such in the catalog or the official schedule of courses. Primary distribution courses place particular emphasis on the mode o f inquiry in a particu­ lar discipline. In teaching students to be selfconscious about how knowledge is generated, these courses seek to develop an appreciation of both the power and the limits o f each disci­ pline within a broader system o f knowledge. In recognition of the importance o f writing as an integral part of the learning process in disci­ plines across the curriculum, primary distribu­ tion courses also provide considerable practice in expressing analytic and synthetic thought in writing. Primary distribution courses are intended to be appropriate both for those stu­ dents who continue in a field and for those who do not. To promote discussion, they are restricted to 25 students or have accompanying small laboratories or discussion sections. Courses that count for primary distribution are designated in the departmental listings. T h e requirement o f six primary distribution courses must be satisfied by courses taken at Swarthmore and, with the exception of litera­ ture courses taught in a language other than English, will normally be completed before the student enters the junior year. Any course credit in a division (with the exception o f EN G L 0 01B or C , Music courses numbered 0 4 0 -0 5 l)m ay be chosen as the third distribution course in that division, including A P credit or credit awarded for work done else­ where. Courses that are cross-listed between two departments in different divisions may (with the permission o f the instructors, departments, and divisions involved) fulfill the distribution requirement in one o f the following ways: (1) in only one o f the divisions so identified but not in the other; (2) in either division (but not both), depending on the departmental listing of the course on the academic record; (3 ) in neither o f the divisions. In certain cases, the course may fulfill the distribution requirement according to the nature of the work done in the course by the individual student (i.e., a long paper in one of the departmental disciplines). T h e distributional status of such courses is nor­ mally indicated in the catalog description for each course. Students who have been granted credit and advanced placement in two departments in the same division for work done prior to matricula­ tion at Swarthmore will be exempted from one primary distribution requirement in that divi­ sion on the condition that they take an addi­ tional course in one o f those departments. T hey will be exempted from both primary dis­ tribution requirements in that division on the condition that they take an additional course in each o f those departments. Students who enter Swarthmore as transfer students with 8 credits of college work will be exempted from one primary distribution requirement in each division. Students who enter Swarthmore with at most four semesters remaining to complete their degree will be exempted from the prima­ ry distribution component o f the distribution requirement. It is most desirable that students include in their programs some work in a foreign lan­ guage, beyond the basic language requirement (see p. 81). A student who intends to major in one o f the natural sciences, mathematics, or engineering should take an appropriate mathe­ matics course in the freshman year. Students intending to major in one of the social sciences should be aware o f the increasing importance of mathematical background for these subjects. In the freshman and sophomore years, all stu­ dents not excused for medical reasons are 67 Educational Program required to com plete a four-quarter (two semester) program in physical education. T he requirements are stated in full o n p. 80. Early in the sophomore year, the student should identify two or three subjects as possible majors, paying particular attention to depart­ mental requirements and recommendations. In the spring o f the sophomore year, each student will, with the guidance o f his or her adviser, prepare a reasoned plan o f study for the last two years. This plan will be submitted to the chair o f the student’s proposed major as a part o f the application for a major. A cceptance will be based on the student’s record and an estimate o f his or her capacities in the designated major. Students who fail to secure approval o f a major may be required to withdraw from the College. Although faculty advisers assist students in preparing their academic programs, students themselves are individually responsible for planning and adhering to programs and for the completion o f graduation requirements. Facul­ ty advisers, department chairs, other faculty members, the deans, and the registrar are avail­ able for information and advice. PROGRAMS FOR JUNIORS AND SENIORS T h e major goals o f the last two years o f a Swarthmore education are to engage students with a chosen field o f inquiry and to assist them in assuming an independent role in cre­ ating and synthesizing knowledge within it. T h e breadth o f exposure, acquisition o f skills, and development o f a critical stance during the first two years prepare students to pursue these goals. W ith the choice o f a major, the focus shifts from scope to depth. Students become involved for two years with a discrete field of inquiry and demonstrate their mastery o f that field through the completion o f courses within the major and courses taken outside the major that serve to expand and deepen the student’s perspective on the major. A ll students are required to include sufficient work in a single department or program (desig­ nated as a “major”) to make an equivalent o f at least eight courses before graduation. To complete a departmental major, a student must be accepted as a major and, in addition to the standard eight courses and comprehensive 68 requirement in the major department, must fulfill other specific departmental require­ ments. T h e requirements for acceptance to departmental majors and for completion of them are specified in this catalog under the respective departm ental listings and are designed to ensure a comprehensive acquain­ tance with the field. T h e completion o f two majors is allowed, depending upon the permis­ sion o f both departments o f the proposed dou­ ble major for the student. Triple majoring is no t allowed. A student must accumulate 20 course credits outside his or her major, but there is no other lim it on the number of courses that a student may take in his or her major. W ith departmental permission(s), it is possible for a student to plan an individualized special major that includes closely related work in one or more departments. In some areas, such as biochemistry, film and media studies, and psy­ chobiology, in which special majors are done frequently, the departments and programs involved provide recommended programs. These regularized special majors are described in the relevant department sections o f the cat­ alog or in material available from department chairs. A special major is expected to be inte­ gral in the sense that it specifies a field o f learn­ ing (not necessarily conventional) or topic or problems for sustained inquiry that crosses departmental boundaries, or it may be treated as a subfield within the normal departmental major. Special majors consist o f at least 10 credits and normally o f no more than 12 cred­ its. Students with special majors normally com­ plete a minimum o f six courses in the primary department or program, om itting some o f the breadth requirements o f the major field; but course requirem ents cen tral to systematic understanding o f the major field will not be waived. Students with special majors must complete the major comprehensive require­ ment, which may consist o f a thesis or other written research project(s) designed to inte­ grate the work across departmental boundaries or a comprehensive examination. By exten­ sion, special majors may be formulated as joint majors between two departments, normally with at least 5 credits in each department and 11 in both departments, which, in such pro­ grams, collaborate in advising and in the com­ prehensive exam ination. Students are not allowed to pursue more than one individual­ ized special major. During the junior and senior years, students are advised by the chair o f the major department (or a member o f the department designated by the chair) whose approval must be secured for the choice o f courses each semester. MAJORS, MINORS, AND CONCENTRATIONS In May 2000, the faculty voted to make minors outside o f the Honors program available to stu­ dents and added certain restrictions as to the number o f majors and minors that a student could pursue. Most (but not all) departments and programs have developed such minors to offer students. The timing and implementation of the new program in course minors was left up to the Curriculum Comm ittee. T h e comm ittee has decided that students in the Class o f ’02 will operate under the rules o f the old program that offers majors and interdisciplinary concentra­ tions. Students in the Class o f ’04 and there­ after will operate under the rules o f the new program, w hich offers majors and minors (including interdisciplinary minors) but which limits the number o f majors and minors a stu­ dent may pursue. Students in the Class o f ’03 will be able to choose either the old program or the new program but not som e m ixture o f the two. T he old and new program rules are out­ lined briefly below. A ll majors, minors, and concentrations, whether under the old pro­ gram or the new, must be approved by the departments or programs. Old Program: M ajor(s) and Concentration(s) 1. Students are required to have one major. This is the only requirement. A second major, concentrations, and Honors are optional. 2. Students may have up to two majors. 3. Students may have one minor, available through the Honors program only. 4. Departmental or interdisciplinary minors in course, outside Honors, are not available. 5. Students may have as many approved con­ centrations as they can fit into their schedules, though the practical lim it is typically one or two. N ew Program : M ajor(s) and M inor(s) 1. Students are required to have one major. T his is the only requirement. A second major, minors, and Honors are optional. 2. Students may have up to two majors; a stu­ dent with two majors may not have a minor. a. E xception: A student who chooses an Honors major plus minor may have a second major outside o f Honors if that second major is the same subject as the Honors minor. T his is the only circumstance in which a student may major and minor in the same subject. 3. Students may have one or two minors, if they have only one major. a. A minor may be completed in course or as part o f an Honors program. b. Most departments and programs, though no t all, will offer course minors. Those depart­ ments or programs that will not offer course minors under the new program are Comparative Literature, Economics, Political Scien ce, Sociology and Anthropology, and Studio A rt. (These departments or programs will continue to offer Honors minors.) c. “Concentrations” under the old program are now considered to be interdisciplinary minors (though the rubric and requirements may have changed). d. A student who chooses an Honors major plus minor may have an additional course minor outside the Honors program. 4. Minors will include at least 5 credits, 4 of which may not overlap with the student’s major or other minor. T h e overlap rule applies to any two entities taken at one time but not collectively to three entities taken together (it is a pair-wise, not a global overlap rule). This means that a student who has a major in Medieval Studies, for example, and minors in English and W om en’s Studies, must meet the overlap rule in each possible pairing but not in the three taken together. So a course might overlap between Medieval Studies and English and a different course might overlap between Medieval Studies and Women’s Studies. T h e exceptions to the overlap rule are as follows: Exceptions T h e overlap constraint is not applicable to courses that departm ental majors or minors must take in other departments; for example, m ath­ ematics courses required for an engineering 69 Educational Program major are no t automatically excluded from a m inor defined by th e D epartm ent o f Mathematics and Statistics. For an Honors major who is also a double major, the overlap constraint does not apply to the relationship between the Honors minor and the second major because these will always be in the same field (see 2a above). Thus, an English Honors major who is a history Honors minor and also a history course m ajor as part of a double major is not violating the constraint. HOMORS PROGRAM T h e Honors program, initiated in 1922 by President Frank Aydelotte and modified most recently in 1994, is a distinctive part o f Swarthmore’s educational life. T h e Honors program has as its main ingredi­ ents student independence and responsibility in shaping the educational experience; colle­ gial relationships between students and faculty; peer learning; opportunity for reflection on, and integration of, specific preparations; and evaluation by external examiners. Honors work may be carried out in the full range of curricular options, including studio and per­ forming arts, study abroad, and communitybased learning. Students and their professors work in collegial fashion as Honors candidates prepare for eval­ uation by external examiners from other acad­ em ic institutions and the professional world. Although Swarthmore faculty grade most of the specific preparations, the awarding o f honorifics on a student’s diploma is solely based on the evaluation o f the external examiners. Preparations for Honors are defined by each department or program and include seminars, theses, independent projects in research as well as in studio and performing arts, and specially designated pairs o f courses. In addition, many departments offer their own format for Senior Honors Study, designed to enhance, and where appropriate integrate, the preparations in both major and minor. Each Honors candidate’s program will include three preparations for external exam ination in a major and one in a minor, or four prepara­ tions in a special or interdisciplinary major. Students offering three preparations in a major 70 or four preparations in a special or interdisci­ plinary major will be exempted from compre­ hensive exams in those majors. (Under the rules o f the new program available to the Class o f ’03 (optional) and required o f classes there­ after, a student who chooses an Honors major plus minor may have a second major outside of Honors if that second major is the same as the Honors minor.) Honors program preparations for both majors and minors will be defined by each depart­ ment, program, and interdisciplinary major that sponsors a major. In addition, minors may be defined by any department or program. A ll preparations will be graded by Swarthmore instructors with the exception o f theses and other original work. Grades for theses and other similar projects will be given by external examiners. Except in the case o f theses or other original work, modes o f assessment by the external examiners will include written exams and/or other written assignments completed in the spring o f the senior year. In addition, dur­ ing Honors week at the end of the senior year, every Honors candidate will meet on campus with external evaluators for an oral examina­ tion o f each preparation. Specific formats for preparations and for Senior Honors Study are available in each department office. Students will normally include their intention to prepare for Honors in their Plan o f Study for the Last Two Years, written in the spring of their sophomore year. They must also submit to the Office o f the Registrar a formal application for a specific program o f Honors preparation. T h e registrar provides a form for this purpose. Departments, programs, and concentrations will make decisions about acceptance of Honors programs at the end o f the sophomore year. Students will be accepted into Honors with the proviso that their work continue to be o f Honors quality. Students may also apply to enter Honors during their junior year. Any pro­ posed changes to the Honors program must be submitted for approval on a form provided for this purpose by the registrar. Normally, Honors programs may not be changed after December 1 o f a student’s senior year, depending on departmental policies. T h e decision o f the departments or interdisciplinary programs will depend on the proposed program o f study and the quality o f the student’s previous work as indicated by grades received and upon the stu­ dent’s apparent capacity for assuming the responsibility o f Honors candidacy. T h e major department or interdisciplinary program is responsible for the original plan of work and for keeping in touch with the candidate’s progress from semester to semester. Students may n o t withdraw from Honors after December 1 of the senior year except under extraordinary circumstances and with the per­ mission o f the major and minor departments and the Curriculum Committee. Further infor­ mation about Honors policies may be found in the Student H andbook o f P olicies and Procedures for the Honors Program, which is available in the Registrar’s Office. At the end of the senior year, the decision of the degree of Honors to be awarded the candi­ dates is entirely in the hands o f the visiting examiners. U pon their recommendation, suc­ cessful candidates are awarded the bachelor’s degree with Honors, with High Honors, or with Highest Honors. EXCEPTIONS TO THE FOUR-YEAR PROGRAM Although the normal period of uninterrupted work toward the bachelor o f arts and bachelor of science degrees is four years, graduation in three years is freely permitted when a student can take advantage of Advanced Placement credits, perhaps combining them with extra work by special permission. In such cases, stu­ dents may qualify for advanced standing— they may become juniors in their second year. To qualify for advanced standing, a student must (1) do satisfactory work in the first semester; (2) obtain 14 credits by the end of the first year; (3 ) intend to com plete the degree requirements in three years; and (4) signify this intention when she/he applies for a major by writing a sophomore paper during the spring of the first year. When circumstances warrant, a student may lengthen the continuous route to graduation to five years by carrying fewer courses than the norm of four, although College policy does not permit programs o f fewer than 3 credits for degree candidates in their first 8 semesters of enrollment. A course load lower than the norm may be appropriate for students who enter Swarthmore lacking some elements of the usual preparation for college, who are physical­ ly handicapped, or who wish to free time for activities relating to their curricular work, although not done for academic credit. Such five-year programs are possible in Music and Studio A rts for students who are taking instruction off campus or who wish to pursue studio or instrumental work without full credit but with instruction and critical supervision; however, such programs are possible only on application to, and selection by, the depart­ m ent concerned, which will look for excep­ tional accomplishment or promise. In all cases where it is proposed to reduce academic credit and lengthen the period before graduation, the College looks particularly to personal circum­ stances and to careful advising and necessarily charges the regular annual tuition (see the pro­ visions for overloads, p. 27). Full-time leaves of absence for a semester or a year or more are freely permitted and in some cases encouraged, subject also to careful planning and academic advising. Information about work opportuni­ ties for leave takers available through the College Venture Program is in Career Services. NORMAL COURSE LOAD T h e academic year at Swarthmore is 32 weeks long, during which time students are expected to complete 6 to 8 semester course credits of work. Normal progress toward the degree of bachelor of arts or bachelor of science is made by eight semesters’ work of four courses or the equivalent each semester, though the object of progress toward the degree is not the mere accumulation of 32 credits. Students may and frequently do vary this by programs of five courses, or three courses, with special permis­ sion. College policy does not permit programs of fewer than three course credits within the normal eight semester enrollment. Programs of more than 5 credits or fewer than 4 credits require special permission (see p. 27 on tuition and pp. 78-79 on registration). T h e definitions of upper-class levels are as fol­ lows: Students become sophomores when they have earned 6 to 8 semester course credits toward their degree. Students become juniors when they have earned 14 to 16 credits. Students becom e seniors when they have 71 Educational Program earned 22 to 2 4 credits. Som e offices on cam­ pus, such as the Housing Office, may have additional requirements in their definitions of the student classes. may range from a course o f reading to a specif­ ic research project. Such work is available pri­ marily to juniors and seniors in accordance with their curricular interests and as faculty time permits. FORMATS OF INSTROCTION T h e faculty regulation on student-run courses permits a group o f students to propose a topic to an instructor for 0.5 or 1 credit and to run their own course with a reading list approved by the instructor and a final examination or equivalent administered by him or her, but normally with no further involvement of facul­ ty. In organizing such a course, students obtain provisional approval and agreement to serve as course supervisor from a faculty member by December 1 (for the spring term) or May 1 (for the fall term) on the basis o f an initial memo­ randum emphasizing the principal subject mat­ ter to be studied, the questions to be asked about it, the methods of investigation, and pro­ viding a preliminary bibliography. T h e course is then registered by its organizers with the provost, who has administrative supervision of such work and who may waive the foregoing deadlines to recognize problems in the organi­ zation o f such courses. T h e course supervisor consults his or her department, and in the case o f an interdepartmental course, any other department concerned, whose representatives together with the provost will decide whether to approve the course. T h e supervisor also reviews the course outline and bibliography and qualifications and general eligibility of stu­ dents proposing to participate in the course. A fter a student-run course has been found acceptable by the appropriate department (or departments) and the provost, the course supervisor’s final approval is due 10 days before the term begins, following which a revised reading list and class list are given to the librar­ ian, and the course title and class list are filed with the registrar. A t the end o f the course, the supervisor evaluates and grades the students’ work in the usual way or arranges for an outside examiner to do so. Student-Run C ourses Although classes and seminars are the normal curricular formats at Swarthmore, faculty regu­ lations encourage other modes as well. These include various forms o f individual study, stu­ dent-run courses, and a limited amount of “practical” or off-campus work. T h e principal forms o f individual work are attachments to courses, directed reading, and tutorials. T h e faculty regulation on attach­ ments provides that a student may attach to an existing course, with permission o f the instruc­ tor, a project o f additional reading, research, and writing. If this attachm ent is taken con­ currently with the course, it is normally done for 0.5 credit. If it is taken in a later semester (preferably the semester immediately follow­ ing), it may be done for either half or full cred­ it. This kind o f work can be done on either a small-group or individual basis. It is not possi­ ble in all courses, but it is in most, including some introductory courses. For first-year stu­ dents and sophomores, it is a way of developing capacities for independent work, and for Honors candidates, it is an alternative to sem­ inars as a preparation for papers. Students who decide before the middle o f the semester to do a half-credit attachm ent may, with permission, withdraw from a regular course and carry 3.5 credits in that term to be balanced by 4.5 cred­ its in another term. Students may do as many as two attachments each year. D irected Reading and Independent Study Directed reading and independent study are similar, but the faculty role in the former is more bibliographical than pedagogical, and, because they require somewhat less faculty tim e, opportunities .for directed reading are more frequent in most departments than are opportunities for independent study. In both cases, substantial written work and/or written examinations are considered appropriate, and it is generally desirable that the work be more specialized or more sharply focused than is usu­ ally the case in courses or seminars; the work 72 Student-run courses may vary in format and content. In particular, they may be provision­ ally proposed for half credit to run in the first half of the semester, and at midterm, may be either concluded or, if the participants and course supervisor find the work profitable, con­ tinued for the balance o f the term for full cred­ it. Alternatively, student-run courses may be started after the beginning of the semester (up to midsemester) for half credit and then be continued, on the same basis, into the follow­ ing term. O r they may be taken for half credit over a full term. T h e role of the course super­ visor may exceed that in planning and evalua­ tion outlined above and extend to occasional or regular participation. T h e only essentials, and the purpose o f the procedures, are suffi­ cient planning and organization of the course to facilitate focus and penetration. T h e course planning and organization, both analytical and bibliographical, are also regarded as important ends in themselves, to be emphasized in the review of proposals before approval. Up to 4 of the 32 credits required for graduation may be taken in student-run courses. Finally, as to applied or practical work, the College may under faculty regulations grant up to 1 course credit for practical work, which may be done off campus, when it can be shown to lend itself to intellectual analysis and is like­ ly to contribute to a student’s progress in regu­ lar course work, and subject to four conditions: (1) agreement of an instructor to supervise the project; (2 ) sponsorship by the instructor’s department, and in the case of an interdiscipli­ nary project, any other department concerned, whose representatives together w ith the provost will decide whether to grant permis­ sion for the applied or practical work before that work is undertaken; (3 ) a basis for the pro­ ject in some prior course work; and (4) nor­ mally, the exam ination of pertinent literature and production of a written report as parts of the project. T his option is intended to apply to work in which direct experience o f the offcampus world or responsible applications of academic learning or imaginative aspects of the practice o f an art are the primary elements. Because such work is likely to bear a loose rela­ tion to organized instruction and the regular curriculum, the College limits academic credit for it while recognizing its special importance for some students’ programs. INTERDISCIPLINARY WORK The requirements o f the major typically leave room for significant flexibility in students’ pro­ grams, both within and outside the major. This may be used to pursue a variety of interests and to emphasize intellectual diversity; it may also be used for the practical integration o f individ­ ual programs around interests or principles sup­ plementing the major. T h e College offers interdepartmental majors in Asian studies, medieval studies, and comparative literature, and formal interdisciplinary programs (termed “concentrations” under the old program and “interdisciplinary minors” under the new pro­ gram) in black studies, cognitive science, envi­ ronmental studies, film and media studies, Francophone studies, Germ an studies, inter­ pretation theory, L atin A m erican studies (interdisciplinary minor only under the new program), peace and conflict studies, public policy, and women’s studies. T h e specific requirements for these programs are outlined in the relevant sections of the catalog. It should be recognized that some departments are themselves interdisciplinary in nature; that a considerable number o f courses are cross-list­ ed between departments; that each year some courses are taught jointly by members o f two or more departments; and that departments com­ monly recommend or require supporting work for their majors in other departments. Many other opportunities exist informally (e.g., in African studies, in Am erican studies, in reli­ gion and sociology and anthropology, in engi­ neering and social sciences, and in chemical physics). Students are encouraged to seek the advice o f faculty members on such possibilities with respect to their particular interests. HEALTH SCIENCES ADVISORY PROGRAM T h e function of the health sciences advisory program is twofold: to advise students interest­ ed in a career in the health professions, and to prepare letters of recommendation for profes­ sional schools to which students apply. T h e let­ ters are based on faculty evaluations requested by the student, the student’s academic record, and nonacademic activities. Students intending to enter a career in the health professions, especially those applying to medical, dental, or veterinary schools, should plan their academic programs carefully to meet the professional schools’ requirements as well as the general College requirements. T h e fol­ lowing courses fulfill the basic requirements of 73 Educational Program most medical schools: BIO L 001, 002; CH EM 010, 02 2 , 032, 038; PH YS 003, 004; M ATH 005 and one additional math course; and English, two semester courses. Dental and vet­ erinary schools have more variable require­ ments, in addition to the biology, chemistry, and physics listed earlier. Students interested in these fields should meet with the health sci­ ences adviser to plan their programs. Specific requirements for each medical, dental, and vet­ erinary school, along with much other useful information, are given in the following publi­ cations, which are available in the Health Scien ces O ffice: M edical S chool A dm ission Requirem ents, A dm ission Requirem ents o f U .S . and C anadian D ental Schools, and V eterinary M edical School A dm ission Requirem ents. T h e work of the junior and senior years may be completed in any major department o f the stu­ dent’s choice. A ll required courses should be taken on a graded basis after the first semester o f the freshman year. T h e health sciences adviser meets periodically with students interested in health careers and is available to assist students in planning their programs in cooperation with students’ own academic advisers. T h e H ealth Sciences Office publishes G u ide to P rem edical Studies at Sw arthm ore C ollege and F requen tly A sked Preveterinary Q uestions to help new students plan their academic program and understand what schools look for in applicants. T h e G uide fo r Applying to M edical School fo r Sw arthm ore U ndergraduates and A lum ni/ae contains detailed information about the application process. Further information on opportunities, require­ ments, and procedures can be obtained from the health sciences adviser and from the H ealth Scien ces O ffice’s pages on the Swarthmore College W eb site. COOPERATION WITH NEIGHR0RING INSTITUTIONS W ith the approval o f their faculty adviser and the registrar, students may take a course offered by Bryn Mawr or Haverford College or the University of Pennsylvania without the pay­ m ent of extra tuition. Students are expected to know and abide by the academic regulations of the host institution. (This arrangement does n o t apply to the summer sessions o f the University of Pennsylvania and Bryn Mawr College.) Final grades from such courses are recorded on the Swarthmore transcript, but these grades are not included in calculating the Swarthmore grade average required for gradua­ tion. STUDENT EXCHANGE PROGRAMS To provide variety and a broadened outlook for interested students, the College has student exchange arrangements with Harvey Mudd College, Middlebury College, Mills College, Pomona College, R ice University, and Tufts University. Selection is made by a committee o f the home institution from among applicants who will be sophomores or juniors at the time of the exchange. W ith each institution, there is a limited and matched number o f exchanges. Students settle financially with the home institution, thus retaining during the exchange any financial aid for which they are eligible. Exchange arrangements do not permit transfer o f partici­ pants to th e institution w ith w hich the exchange takes place. STUDY ADR0AD CREATIVE ARTS W ork in the creative arts is available both in the curriculum of certain departments and on an extracurricular basis. Interested students should consult the departmental statements in A rt, English Literature (including T heatre), and Music and Dance. T h e College emphasizes the importance of study abroad and encourages all students to explore possibilities for doing so as integral parts o f their degree programs. T h e Office for Foreign Study, and the foreign study adviser, will help all interested students at every stage— planning, study abroad, and return— of the process. To be accepted for credit toward the Swarthmore degree, foreign study must meet 74 Swarthmore academic standards. W ith proper planning, this condition normally is readily met. Proper planning begins with seeing the foreign study adviser as early as possible in one’s college career. Credit for study abroad is awarded according to College regulations for accrediting work at other institutions, and the process must be completed within the semester following return to the College. the full academic year or for either the fall or spring semester. (Credit at Swarthmore must be obtained through the departments con­ cerned.) T h e program attempts to take full advantage o f the best facilities and teaching staff o f the Spanish community, while adhering to the code of intellectual performance charac­ teristic o f the most demanding Am erican insti­ tutions. The Sw arthm ore Program in G ren oble, France, inaugurated in the fall of 1972. Students entering this program spend either one or two semesters at the University of G renoble, where their course of study is the equivalent of one or two semesters at Swarthmore. This program, under the auspices o f the M odem Languages and Literatures Department, is open to stu­ dents from any department but especially those in the humanities and social sciences. Should there be places available, applications from stu­ dents at other institutions are accepted. T h e number o f participants is limited to 25. A distinguishing aspect of the program is the individual guidance provided students in non­ academic areas, especially in (1) the efforts that are made to find homes well suited for stu­ dent lodging, and (2) the activities that are planned to ensure ample contact with Spanish students. Students are integrated into the academic life at the University o f G renoble through regular courses, when their language com petence allows, or through special courses for foreign students. Individual programs are arranged to suit the needs and competencies o f students. Preparation of External Examination papers is possible in certain fields. T h e program is designed primarily for juniors and secondsemester sophomores, but seniors can be accommodated in special cases. A member o f the M odem Languages and Literatures Department acts as resident direc­ tor. T he director teaches a course or a seminar, supervises the academic program and the living arrangements of the students, and advises on all educational or personal problems. A coordi­ nator of the program at Swarthmore handles such matters as admissions to the program (in consultation with the deans), financial aid, transfer o f academic credit to departments within the College and to institutions whose students participate in the program. Applications for the fall semester must be sub­ mitted by M arch 15 and for the spring semes­ ter by O ctober 15. Academ ic Year in M adrid, Spain. T his program is administered by the R om ance Language Department o f Hamilton College, in coopera­ tion with faculty members of Williams and Swarthmore colleges. Students may enroll for T h e program is based in Madrid, where the cul­ tural, educational, and geographic benefits are optimal. Classrooms and office space are locat­ ed at the International Institute (Miguel Angel 8, Madrid). T h e institute houses a library emi­ nently suited for study and research, and it sponsors a series o f lectures, concerts, and social activities. T h e program is under the general guidance o f a com m ittee comprising members o f the Hamilton College Department of Romance Languages, who, in rotation with professors from Williams and Swarthmore colleges, serve also as directors-in-residence in Madrid. Applications and further information are avail­ able from the M odem Languages and Literatures Department. In addition to the programs in Grenoble and Madrid, there are a number of excellent foreign study programs throughout the world. T h e Office for Foreign Study, along with the acade­ mic departments and programs o f the College, will advise students on this. Information on foreign study programs is available in the Office for Foreign Study. Financial aid may be applied to study abroad, with the approval o f the Office for Foreign Study. For students who are in good academic standing and who plan to attend academically and credit-worthy programs, approval is nor­ mally routine. Study abroad students who wish to receive credit toward the Swarthmore degree for their completed work will pay, for the semester or year abroad, full Swarthmore tuition, room, and board to Swarthmore, and Swarthmore 75 Educational Program will pay the foreign study programs on their behalf. Complete information on payment pro­ cedures for study abroad is available in the Office for Foreign Study. T he O lga Lam kert M em orial Fund. Incom e from a fund established in 1979 by students o f Olga Lamkert, professor o f Russian at Swarthmore College from 1949 to 1956, is available to stu­ dents with demonstrated financial need who wish to attend a Russian summer school pro­ gram in this country or either the Leningrad or Moscow semester programs. Awards based on merit and financial need will be made on the recommendation o f the Russian section o f the M odem Languages and Literatures Depart­ ment. T he Eugene M . W eber M em orial Fund. Income from a fund established in 1986 to honor the memory o f Eugene M . Weber, professor of German at Swarthmore College from 1973 to 1986, is available to students with demonstrat­ ed financial need who wish to attend an acad­ em ic program in a German-speaking country. Awards based on merit and financial need will be made on the recom m endation o f the Germ an section o f the M odem Languages and Literatures Department. STUDENT RIGHT TO KNOW Swarthmore College’s graduation rate is 92.06 percent (this is the percent graduating within six years, based on the most recent cohorts, calculated according to “Student Right to Know” guidelines). 76 Faculty Regulations ATTENDANCE AT CLASSES Regular atten d an ce is expected. Faculty members will report to th e dean th e nam e of any student whose repeated absence is in their opinion impairing the student’s work. The number o f absences allowed in a given course is no t specified, a fact that places a heavy responsibility o n all students to make sure th at their work is no t suffering as a result of absences. Because first-year students must exercise particular care in this respect and because th e faculty recognizes its greater responsibility toward them in th e m atter o f class attendance, it is expected that first-year students, especially, will attend all classes. W hen illness necessitates absence from class­ es, the student should report at on ce to the Health Center. A student may obtain credit for a course without attending class meetings by reading the material prescribed by a syllabus and tak­ ing a final exam ination, under the following conditions: 1. T he student must signify in ten t to do so at the time o f registration, having obtained the instructor’s approval in advance. 2. If after such registration the student wishes to resume norm al class atten d an ce, th e instructor’s approval must be obtained. 3. T h e student may be required to perform such work, in addition to th e final exam ina­ tion, as th e instructor deems necessary for adequate evaluation o f his or her perfor­ mance. 4. T h e final grade will be recorded by the reg­ istrar exactly as if the student had attended classes normally. GRADES Instructors report to th e D ean’s and Registrar’s offices at intervals during th e year upon th e work o f students in courses. Informal reports during the semester take the form o f comments on unsatisfactory work. A t the end o f each semester, formal grades are given in each course eith er under the credit/no credit (CR/N C) system, or under the letter system, by w hich A means excellent work; B, good work; C , satisfactory work; D, passing but below the average required for graduation; and N C (no credit), uncompleted or unsatisfactory work. L etter grades may be qualified by pluses and minuses. W signifies th at the student has been permitted to with­ draw from the course. X designates a condi­ tion; X means th at a student has done unsat­ isfactory work in the first half o f a year course, but by creditable work during th e second half may earn a passing grade for the full course and thereby remove the condition. R is used to designate an auditor or to indicate cases in w hich the work o f a foreign student cannot be evaluated because o f d eficien cies in English. In Progress IP (In Progress) is the grade used when nor­ mally everyone in a class continues working o n a project into the n ext semester; IP is given at the end o f the first semester to indi­ cate “In Progress.” Final grades are normally due at th e end o f the succeeding semester. ln com pletes Inc. means th at a student’s work is incom ­ plete w ith respect to specific assignments or exam inations. T h e faculty has voted th at a student’s final grade in a course should incor­ porate a zero for any part o f th e course not completed by the date o f the final exam ina­ tion, or the end o f the exam ination period. However, if circumstances beyond the stu­ dent’s control (e.g., illness, family emergency) preclude th e com pletion o f the work by this date, a grade o f Incom plete (In c.) may be assigned w ith the permission o f th e faculty instructor and the registrar. N ote th at “hav­ ing too m uch work to do” is not, in fairness to oth er students, considered a circumstance beyond the student’s control. A form for the purpose o f requesting an Incom plete is avail­ able from the Registrar’s O ffice and must be filled out by the student and signed by the faculty instructor and th e registrar and returned to the registrar no later than th e last day o f final exam inations. In such cases, incom plete work must normally be made up and graded, and the final grade recorded w ithin five weeks after the start o f the follow­ ing term. Except by special permission o f the registrar and the faculty instructor, all grades o f In c. still outstanding after that date will be replaced o n the student’s permanent record by N C (no credit). W aiver o f this provision 77 Faculty Regulations by special permission shall in n o case extend beyond one year from th e tim e th e In c. grade was incurred. such work done elsewhere, th e chair’s permis­ sion needs to be obtained as a part o f the credit approval and validation processes. C redit/N o C redit For repeated courses in w hich the student withdraws w ith th e notation W, th e grade and credit for the previous attem pt will stand. For other repeated courses, th e registration and grade for the previous attem pt will be preserved o n th e p erm anent record but marked as excluded, and any credit for the previous attem pt will be permanently lost; the final grade and any credit earned in the repetition are th e grade and credit applicable to th e Swarthmore degree. Repeated courses may n o t be taken credit/no credit. T h e only grades recorded on students’ records for courses taken during their first semester o f the freshman year are C R (credit) and N C (no credit). In th e balance o f their work at Sw arthm ore, students may exercise the option to take up to four more courses for credit/no credit by informing the Registrar’s O ffice w ithin the first two weeks o f th e term in w hich th e course is taken. U n til the end o f th e n in th week o f classes, students may reconsider and opt to receive a formal grade in the course. T h is course will count as one o f th e four optional credit/no credit courses. Repeated courses may n o t be taken credit/ no credit. Courses only offered as credit/no credit do n o t count in the four optional elections. For first-year students and sophomores, C R will be recorded for work th at would earn a grade o f straight D or higher; for juniors and seniors (th at is, students w ith at least 16 cred­ its, n o t counting A P credits), th e minimum equivalent letter grade for C R will be straight C . Instructors are asked to provide th e stu­ dent and the faculty adviser w ith evaluation o f th e student’s credit/no credit work. T h e evaluation for first-sem ester freshm en includes a letter-grade equivalent; for other students, the evaluation may be either a let­ ter-grade equivalent or a com m ent. Su ch evaluations are no t a part o f th e student’s grade record. If available, letter-grade equiva­ lents only, for first-semester freshmen courses only, may be provided to other institutions if requested by th e student and absolutely required by the other institution. Students should save their copies o f these evaluations for their records. R epeated C ourses Som e courses can be repeated for credit; these are indicated in departmental course descrip­ tions. For other courses, the following rules apply: Permission to repeat a course must be obtained from th e Sw arthmore instructor teaching the repetition. T o take a course at another school to serve as a repeat o f a course previously taken at Swarthmore, permission must be obtained from th e ch air o f the Swarthmore department in w hich th e origi­ nal course was taken. For possible credit for 78 Reports o f grades are sent to students at the end o f each semester. T h ey are n o t routinely sent to parents or guardians, but such infor­ m ation may be released w hen students request it. A C (2 .0 ) average is required in th e courses counted for graduation. A n average o f C is interpreted for this purpose as being a numer­ ical average o f at least 2 .0 (A + , A = 4 .0 , A - = 3 .6 7 , B+ m 3 .3 3 , B = 3 .0 , B - = 2.67, C + = 2.33, C = 2.0, C - = 1.67, D+ = 1.33, D = 1.0, D- = 0 .6 7 ). Grades o f credit/no credit and grades o n the record for work n o t taken at Swarthmore College are n o t included in com­ puting this average. REGISTRATION A ll students are required to register and en roll at th e tim e specified in official ann ou ncem en ts and to file programs approved by their faculty advisers. Fines are imposed for late or incom plete registration or enrollm ent. A regular student is expected to take th e pre­ scribed num ber o f courses in each semester. If more than 5 or fewer than 4 credits seem desirable, the faculty adviser should be con­ sulted and a petition filed w ith the registrar. A pplications for late entrance into a course or for withdrawal (w ith deleted course regis­ tration) must be delivered to the Registrar’s O ffice w ithin th e first two weeks o f the semester. A pplications to withdraw from a course and receive th e perm anent grade nota­ tio n W (W ithdraw n) must be received no later than the end o f the n in th week o f class­ es or the fifth week o f the course if it meets for only on e-half o f the semester. A fter that time, late withdrawals are recorded on the student’s record with the notation N C (no credit) unless th e student withdraws from the College. Students do n o t register for audits. Success­ fully completed audits are recorded (w ith the notation R ) at th e end o f th e semester (except in cases where the student has w ith­ drawn after the first two weeks o f the semes­ ter,-in w hich cases the appropriate withdraw­ al notation stands). A deposit o f $ 1 0 0 is required o f all returning students prior to their enrollm ent in bo th the spring and fall semesters. T h is deposit is applied to charges for th e semester and is not refundable. EXAMINATIONS Any student who is absent from an exam ina­ tion, announcem ent o f w hich was made in advance, shall be given an exam ination at another hour only by special arrangement with the instructor in charge o f th e course. Final E xam inations The final exam ination schedule specified in official announcem ents directs the place and time o f all finals unless the instructor has made special arrangem ents otherw ise. However, College policy holds th at students with three final exam inations w ith 24 hours are allowed to reschedule one o f these exams in consultation w ith the instructor. By College policy, a student who is no t in the Honors program, but who is taking an Honors written exam as a course final and has an exam conflict, should take the course final exam and postpone the Honors w ritten exam until the student’s n e xt free exam period; conversely, a student in the Honors program who has a co n flict w ith a course final exam, takes the Honors exam and postpones the course exam in consultation w ith the profes­ sor. In no case may a student take an Honors exam before th e Honors w ritten exam ination period for that exam. STUDENT LEAVES OF ABSENCE, WITHDRAWAL, AND READMISSION Readm ission Follow ing W ithdrawal A student who has withdrawn from the College for any reason, voluntarily or invol­ untarily, may apply for readmission by writing to the D ean o f the College, R obert Gross. Normally, the College will no t accept appli­ cations for readmission until a full semester, in addition to th e semester in w hich the stu­ dent has withdrawn, has passed. A student applying to the College for readmission after withdrawal is required to pro­ vide appropriate docum entation o f increased ability to function academically and in a resi­ dential environm ent, and/or o f decreased hazard to health and safety o f self and/or oth ­ ers. In the case o f withdrawal for m edical rea­ sons, this docum entation must include an evaluation from the student’s personal health care provider. In addition, the student will generally be required to show evidence o f suc­ cessful social, occupational, and/or academic functioning during the tim e away from the College. T h is evidence must include the com pletion o f any outstanding “Incom plètes” on record. A fter such evidence has been provided, the materials will be forwarded to the Evaluation C om m ittee, chaired by A ssociate D ean Joy C harlton and including A ssociate Dean Tedd Goundie and Assistant D ean Myrt W estphal. In the case o f health-related withdrawals, the materials will be reviewed by the director of W orth H ealth C en ter and/or the director of Psychological Services, and the student will be required to be evaluated in person by the appropriate health care professional at the College. A t the discretion o f the Evaluation C om m ittee, such evaluations may be required for other types o f withdrawals as appropriate. T hese evaluations will provide adjunctive inform ation to the com m ittee’s d ecision­ making process. T h e Evaluation Com m ittee will normally m eet w ith the student and will make a determ ination regarding the student’s readiness to resume study at Swarthmore. Short-term H ealth-related A bsen ces Students who are hospitalized for a period during th e semester are subject to the readmission procedures described above before 79 Faculty Regulations they may return to campus to resume their studies. In these situations, the Evaluation Com m ittee may also counsel and advise the student about options for how best to approach the rem aining academic work in the semester. In all cases, a student returning to campus from the hospital must report to the W orth H ealth C en te r and get clearance from the appropriate health care professional b efore returning to th e dormitory to ensure the student’s readiness to resume college life and so th at follow-up care can be discussed. T h e C ollege V enture Program T h e College Venture Program, supported by Swarthmore College, Bates College, Brown University, Franklin & Marshall, th e College o f Holy Cross, Sarah Lawrence, Syracuse University, Vassar College, and W esleyan University, provides work experiences for stu­ dents taking tim e away from college. Venture jobs are usually full-tim e, paid positions in a variety o f fields including the environm ent, education, business, social change, govern­ m ent, and the arts. Students do n o t receive academic credit for these work experiences. T h e College Venture coordinator is in the Career Services O ffice. SUMMER SCHOOL WORK AND OTHER WORK DONE ELSEWHERE Stu dents desiring to receive Sw arthm ore College credit for work at another school must obtain preliminary approval and afterth e -fa c t valid ation by th e ch a ir o f th e Sw arthm ore departm ent or program co n ­ cerned. Preliminary approval depends upon adequate inform ation about the co n ten t and instruction o f the work to be undertaken. Preliminary approval is tentative. Final vali­ dation o f th e work for credit depends upon evaluation o f the materials o f the course, including syllabus transcript, w ritten work, exams, indication o f class hours, etc. W ork in other programs, especially summer school programs, may sometimes be given less credit th an work a t Sw arthm ore, but this will depend upon the nature o f the program and the work involved. Validation may include an exam ination, w ritten or oral, administered at Swarthmore. A ll decisions are made on a 80 case-by-case basis. A n official transcript from the other school must be received by th e O ffice o f the R egistrar before validated work ca n be recorded for credit. By College policy, in order for work done elsewhere to be granted Swarthmore College credit, the grade for that work must be the equivalent o f a straight C or better, but a better than C grade does n o t in itself constitute Swarthmore accreditability. Requests for credit must be made w ithin the semester following the term in w hich the work was done. Credit is lost if a student takes a course at Sw arthm ore th a t essentially repeats the work covered by the credit. PHYSICAL EDUCATION In the freshman and sophomore years, all non-veteran students no t excused for medical reasons are required to com plete a four-quar­ ter (two-semester) program in physical educa­ tion. A ll students must pass a survival swim­ ming test or take up to one-quarter o f swim­ m ing instruction. (S e e th e departm ental statem ent o f the Departm ent o f Physical Education and A th letics.) EXCLUSION FROM COLLEGE T h e College reserves the right to exclude at any tim e students whose academic standing it regards as unsatisfactory and without assign­ ing any further reason therefore, and neither th e College nor any o f its officers shall be under any liability whatsoever for such exclu­ sion. Degree Requirements BACHELOR OF ARTS AND BACHELOR OF SCIENCE The degree of bachelor o f arts or bachelor of science is conferred upon students who have met the following requirements for graduation. The candidate must have: 1. Completed 32 course credits or their equiv­ alent. 2. A t least an average grade of C in the Swarthmore courses counted for graduation (see p. 78). A student with more than 32 cred­ its may use the Swarthmore credits within the highest 3 2 for the purposes of achieving the C average. 3. Complied with the distribution require­ ments and have completed at least 20 credits outside the major department (see pp. 66-68). 4. Fulfilled the foreign language requirement, having either: (1 ) passed three years or their equivalent (as determined by the provost) of one foreign language while in grades 9 through 12, (2) achieved a score o f 6 0 0 or its equivalent in a foreign language on a standard achieve­ ment test, or (3 ) passed one year of a foreign language while at Swarthmore. 5. Met the requirements in the major and sup­ porting fields during the last two years. (For requirements pertaining to majors, minors, and concentrations under the new program and the old, see the previous section on “Majors, Minors, and Concentrations.”) 6. Passed satisfactorily the comprehensive examinations in his or her major field, or met the standards set by visiting examiners for a degree with Honors. 7. Completed four semesters o f study at Swarthmore College. Two o f these must con­ stitute the senior year (i.e., the last two, full­ time semesters o f degree work), with the exception that seniors during the first semester of their senior year, with the approval o f the chair(s) of their major department(s), may par­ ticipate in the Swarthmore Semester/Year Abroad Program. 8. Completed the physical education require­ ment set forth on p. 8 0 and in statements of the Department of Physical Education and Athletics. 9. Paid all outstanding bills and returned all equipment and library books. MASTER OF ARTS AND MASTER OF SCIENCE T h e degree of master o f arts or master o f sci­ ence may be conferred subject to the following requirements: Only students who have completed the work for the bachelor’s degree with some distinction, either at Swarthmore or at another institution o f satisfactory standing, shall be admitted as candidates for the m aster’s degree at Swarthmore. T h e candidate’s record and a detailed program setting forth the aim of the work to be pursued shall be submitted, with a recommendation from the department or departments con­ cerned, to the Curriculum C om m ittee. If accepted by the comm ittee, the candidate’s name shall be reported to the faculty at or before the first faculty meeting of the year in which the candidate is to begin work. T h e requirements for the master’s degree shall include the equivalent o f a full year’s work of graduate character. This work may be done in courses, seminars, reading courses, regular con­ ferences w ith members o f the faculty, or research. T h e work may be done in one depart­ m ent or in two related departments. A candidate for the master’s degree shall be required to pass an exam ination conducted by the department or departments in which the work was done. T h e candidate shall be exam­ ined by outside examiners, provided that where this procedure is not practicable, exceptions may be made by the Curriculum Committee. T h e department or departments concerned, on the basis o f the reports o f the outside examin­ ers, together with the reports of the student’s resident instructors, shall make recommenda­ tions to the faculty for the award o f the degree. A t the option o f the department or depart­ ments concerned, a thesis may be required as part o f the work for the degree. A candidate for the master’s degree will be expected to show before admission to candida­ cy a competence in those languages deemed by his or her department or departments most essential for the field o f research. Detailed lan­ guage requirements will be indicated in the announcements o f departments that admit candidates for the degree. T h e tuition fee for graduate students who are candidates for the master’s degree is $26,098. 81 Awards and Prizes T he Ivy A w ard is made by the faculty each year to the man o f the graduating class who is out­ standing in leadership, scholarship, and contri­ butions to the College community. T he O ak L e a f A w ard is made by the faculty each year to the woman o f the graduating class who is outstanding in leadership, scholarship, and contributions to the College community. T he Lang A w ard was established by Eugene M. Lang, ’38. It is given by the faculty to a gradu­ ating senior in recognition of outstanding aca­ demic accomplishment.

The Department of A rt offers historical, criti­ cal, and practical instruction in the visual arts. Courses in art history consider questions hav­ ing to do with the forms, traditions, meanings, and historical contexts of works of art and architecture; studio arts courses explore practi­ cal, theoretical processes that arise in the cre­ ation of objects in various media. exhibitions offer opportunities for interdiscipli­ nary study and are often co-sponsored by other departments. Located in the Lang Performing Arts Center, the List Gallery’s 1,200-squarefoot facility was made possible, in part, through generous gifts by Vera G . List and by Eugene and Theresa Lang. T h e Phillip Bruno Fine A rt Fund supports work with the permanent col­ lection. T h e A nn Trimble Warren Exhibition Fund supports List Gallery exhibitions. List G allery: T h e List Gallery was established to enhance the art curriculum. Each year, the gallery mounts five or six exhibitions o f both emerging and nationally known artists; the months of April and May feature a series of senior thesis exhibitions by art majors, and an Alumni Weekend exhibition takes place in June. Together with the gallery director, the Exhibition Committee selects exhibitions that complement and strengthen the studio arts and art history curriculum. Exhibiting artists come to campus as visiting critics and lecturers, giv­ ing students access to a broad range of media and interpretation. A selection of works from Swarthmore’s permanent collection can be viewed in the inner room of the List Gallery. Occasionally, the gallery presents historical ex­ hibitions that offer art history students oppor­ tunities for direct observation and analysis. Both contemporary and historical exhibitions demonstrate excellence in the visual arts and engage the college community in an ongoing dialogue. Because artists raise important ques­ tions about history, society, and identity, major D onald Ja y G ordon Visiting A rtist; H eilm an A rtist: Each year, the Department o f A rt invites distinguished artists to the College as the Marjorie Heilman Visiting Lecturer or the Donald Jay Gordon Visiting A rtist. T h e work o f the invited artist is exhibited in the List Gallery, and while on campus, she or he gives a public lecture, critiques work in the studios, and meets with both majors and nonmajors.

REQUIREMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Prerequisites: A R T H 001 or A R T H 004 is the prerequisite for most other art history courses 91 Art in the A rt Department. S T U A 001 is the pre­ requisite for all studio arts courses, even for seniors; it may be waived only by presenting a portfolio for evaluation. Students are advised that graduate work in art history requires a reading knowledge o f at least Germ an and French. T h e A rt Department approves a credit for Advanced Placement, grade 5 in A rt His­ tory and Studio Arts (with submission o f a portfolio), but it does no t normally waive the prerequisite. Study A broad: T h e A rt Department strongly encourages those with an interest in art to con­ sider incorporating foreign study— either dur­ ing a summer or a regular academic term— into their Swarthmore program. Important exam­ ples o f art and architecture are scattered throughout the world, and the encounter with works still imbedded in their original context is vital to an understanding o f their historical and contemporary significance. Past experi­ ence has shown, however, that art courses in most foreign study programs fell considerably below the academic standards o f comparable courses at Swarthmore. To aid students in their attempt to gain Swarthmore credit for study abroad, the A rt Department has established the following guidelines. (1) N o request for transfer credit in art history will be considered unless a student has already taken an art histo­ ry course at Swarthmore before taking a course abroad. (2 ) Students who are interested in bet­ tering their chances o f gaining a full Swarthmore credit for a course taken in a for­ eign program are advised to attempt to arrange with a Swarthmore professor, before leaving the campus, to write, if necessary, a supple­ mentary research paper as a part o f the course. Such papers will be evaluated by the A rt Department as part o f the process o f determin­ ing transfer credit. (3 ) Students interested in Studio Arts, Design, and A rchitecture are par­ ticularly encouraged to consider the Pitzer College in Parma, Italy, which offers courses at the Istituto dell’A rte Paolo Toschi; a semester o f Italian preceding going abroad is well advised. T he C ourse M ajor in A rt H istory: A rt History majors are required to take A R T H 001 or A R T H 0 04, A R T H 0 0 2 ,1 credit in Asian A rt, A R T H 0 9 8 ,5 other credits in art history, and 1 course in studio arts. T h e 5 elective credits must include (1 ) 1 credit in Western A rt 92 before 1700, (2 ) 1 credit in Western A rt after 1700, and (3 ) one seminar (2 credits). The comprehensive consists o f a special essay, com­ pleted in conjunction with A R T H 098 in spring o f the senior year. T he C ourse Minor m A rt H istory: T h e course minor in A rt History will consist o f 5 credits in A rt History, including A R T H 098: Senior Workshop. Four o f the 5 credits must be taken at Swarthmore. T he C ourse M ajor m A rt: T h e course m2ajor in A rt consists o f four courses in A rt History (A R T H 001, A R T H 0 0 2 , A R T H 003, or A R T H 004 or another course on art before 1700, and 3 elective credits) and 7 courses in Studio Arts (including courses in drawing, another two-dimensional medium, and a three-dimensional medium). T h e comprehen­ sive consists o f a senior exhibition and written artist statement prepared during the fall and spring o f the senior year. Studio Arts facilities are closed during summer and normally during October, winter, and spring holidays. T he C ourse M inor in A rt: N ot offered.

Dada and Surrealism Signing a name, going into a trance, collecting dust, shopping in a flea market, dreaming, scribbling, playing a game— all o f these activi­ ties were investigated as methods of art pro­ duction by artists associated with Dada and Surrealism in the early decades o f the twenti­ eth century. T his seminar examines not only these new modes of making art but also the artists’ political, cultural, and theoretical rea­ sons for developing them. By carefully reading primary and secondary texts, we consider the questions, aims, and desires o f these revolu­ tionary art movements as well as the methods o f art history that have been conceived to address them. 2 credits.

Asian Studies is an interdisciplinary program that aims to introduce students to the immea­ surably vast range o f human experience, both historical and contemporary, on the Asian continent— from South Asia, to peninsular and insular Southeast Asia, to East Asia. Courses on Asia are offered by the Asian Studies program and in the Departments of Art, Economics, History, M odem Languages and Literatures (Chinese), Music and Dance, Political Scien ce, R eligion, Sociology and Anthropology, and T heatre Studies. Asian Studies offers majors in course and Honors, an Honors minor, and (beginning with the Class of ’03) a course minor. Asian Studies majors construct individualized programs o f study, with a focus on a comparative theme or on a particular country or region. (Examples of comparative themes include classical traditions in Asian literature and art, Buddhist studies, Asian nationalisms and the emergence of nation-states, or the political economy of Asian development— to name only a few of the possibilities.) In all cases, however, the core of the major lies in exposure to multiple 8 Visiting faculty, 2001-2002. 9 Affiliated faculty (do not teach courses on Asia but available for independent study projects). regions, for cross-cultural comparisons, and multiple disciplines. Students interested in Asian Studies are urged to consult our W eb site, http://www.swarthmore.edu/Humanities/asian/, for up-to-date information on courses and campus events related to Asia; you should also meet with the chair well in advance of preparing a sophomore paper, to discuss how to plan an individualized program with intellectual coherence and rigor. Advance planning is especially critical for stu­ dents contemplating the Honors program and to integrate study abroad into the major. Language Study and Study A broad Although not required, majors are strongly encouraged to consider the study of an Asian language and a period o f study abroad in Asia. A t Swarthmore, we presently offer only Chinese, but it is possible to study Japanese at Haverford, and many other Asian languages can be studied at U Penn during the regular academic year, in summer language programs, or abroad. (Experience has shown, however, that off-campus language courses may create 99 Asian Studies scheduling difficulties; for that reason, many students elect the summer or study abroad option.) For languages offered at Swarthmore (Chinese), courses above the first-year level count toward the major. For Asian languages not offered at Swarthmore, courses at the entry level may be approved if at least the equivalent o f 1.5 credits is successfully completed in a pro­ gram approved by the Asian Studies faculty. T h e Asian Studies faculty can recommend aca­ demically rigorous programs in several Asian countries, often tailored to a student’s particu­ lar interest. Study abroad is the ideal arena for intensive language study; and nonlanguage courses taken abroad may also be applied toward the major, if credit has been granted by the College, subject to the approval o f the Asian Studies Comm ittee. However, normally at least h a lf o f the credits tow ard a student's A sian Studies program (w hether m ajor or m inor) should be taken at Sw arthm ore. T h e A lice L. Crossley Prize in A sian Studies: See p. 83. REQUIREMENTS T he A sian Studies C ourse M ajor T h e Asian Studies major inherently makes greater demands than a departmental major, for the final responsibility falls on each student to make connections between courses that dif­ fer widely in content and method. W hen con­ sidering applicants to the major, therefore, the Asian Studies Comm ittee looks for evidence of intellectual flexibility and independence as well as the demonstrated ability to do work at the B- level or above in at least two Asia-relat­ ed courses, in different departments. T h e major in Asian Studies consists o f a mini­ mum o f 9 credits, with requirements and distri­ bution as follows: 1. G eographic breadth: Coursework must be completed concerning more than one of the regions o f Asia (South, Southeast, and East A sia). T his can be accomplished by taking at least two courses that are panAsian or comparative in scope; or by taking at least one full course on a country other than that o f the principal focus in an indi­ vidual student’s program. 2. D isciplinary breadth: Classes must be taken 100 in at least three different departments. 3. Foundations: A t least 1 credit must be taken from the following range of courses: C om parative Studies A R T H 003 (Asian A rt) M U SI 008 (Music o f Asia) RELG 008 (Patterns o f Asian Religions) RELG 009 (T h e Buddhist Tradition) Focused on a Single C ountry or Region CH IN 016/LITR 016C H (Substance, Shadow, and Spirit in Chinese Literature and Culture) CH IN 018/LITR 018C H (Classical Tradition in Chinese Literature) H IS T 009A (Chinese Civilization) H IS T 0 1 0 (Traditional Japan) RELG 012 and 013 (History, Religion, and Culture o f India, I and II) 4. Interm ediate an d advanced w ork: A mini­ mum o f 5 credits o f work must be complet­ ed at the intermediate or advanced level in at least two departments. 5. A sian language study: Asian language study is not required but strongly recommended. Up to 4 credits in language study may be applied toward the major. For languages offered at Swarthmore [Chinese], courses above the first-year level may count toward the major; courses above the second-year level count as “intermediate/advanced.” For Asian languages not offered at Swarthmore, courses at the entry level may count toward the major if at least the equivalent o f 1.5 credits is successfully completed in an ap­ proved program; courses above the first-year level count as “intermediate/advanced.” 6. C ulm inating exercise: Students in the Asian Studies course major have a choice o f cul­ minating exercise. a. T hesis option : a 1- (or 2-) credit thesis, followed by an oral examination. The thesis must be interdisciplinary, to the extent that two members o f the Asian Studies faculty from different depart­ ments participate in the direction o f its research and the exam ination o f its results. Students must enroll for the thesis (A S IA 096) no later than fall semester of the senior year. For more information about the thesis, see the departmental W eb site (http://www. swatthmore.edu/Humanities/asian/) or sophomore paper guidelines, b. Honors seminar option: W ith the prior approval o f the Asian Studies Comm it­ tee, students may fulfill the requirement for a culminating exercise by taking a 2-credit honors seminar in an Asian Studies topic, in either their junior or senior year. (Note: A two-course combi­ nation for external examination, or a co u rse-p lu s-d irected -read in g -attach ment, will not satisfy this requirement.) T h e 2-credit Honors seminar will count as 1 of 9 “credits” toward the Asian Studies course major. (T h at is, you will still need 8 other credits). 7. G rade-point average requirem ent: A student must have at least a C average across all courses applied to the course major. The A sian Studies C ourse M inor (N ew fo r the Class o f 2003 and B eyond) Students will be admitted to the minor after having successfully completed at least two Asia-related courses, in different departments, with grades of B- or better. Students may apply for the minor as early as the sophomore paper and as late as the first week o f the senior year. T he A sian Studies Interdisciplinary Minor in course consists o f five courses, distributed as follows: 1. G eographic breadth: Course work must be completed concerning more than one of the regions o f Asia (South, Southeast, and East Asia). T his can be accomplished by taking at least two courses that are panAsian or comparative in scope or by taking at least one full course on a country other than that of the principal focus in an indi­ vidual student’s program. 2. Disciplinary breadth: Courses must be taken in at least two departments outside o f the disciplinary major. Only one course may overlap the Asian Studies minor and a dis­ ciplinary major. 3. Foundations: Students are encouraged, but not required, to include at least one course from the list of “foundation courses” (see earlier). 4. Interm ediate and advanced w ork: A t least 2 credits o f work must be completed at the intermediate or advanced level. N ote that there is no “capstone seminar” or thesis for the interdisciplinary minor in course. 5. Asian language study: Asian language study is no t required, but courses in Asian lan­ guages may count toward the course minor. For languages offered at Swarthmore [Chinese], courses above the first-year level may count toward the minor; courses above the second-year level count as “intermediate/advanced.” For Asian languages not offered at Swarthmore, courses at the entry level may count toward the minor if at least the equivalent o f 1.5 credits is successfully completed in an approved program; courses above the first-year level count as “intermediate/advanced.” 6. G rade-point average requirem ent: A student must have at least a C average across the five courses applied to the minor. T he A sian Studies H onors M ajor To be admitted to the Honors major, students should have completed at least two Asia-relat­ ed courses, in different departments, at the level of B+ or above. T h e Honors major in Asian Studies consists of a minimum of 10 credits (including 4 Honors preparations). 1. G eographic and disciplinary breadth require­ m ents are the same as those for the course major (see earlier). 2. Foundations: Normally, at least one course should come from the list o f “foundation courses” (see earlier). 3. B ecau se A sian Studies is an interdisciplinary m ajor, all four fields presented for external exam ination must be Asian Studies sub­ jects. T h e student has the option of omit­ ting a m inor field designation. A lter­ natively, one o f the four fields can be desig­ nated as a minor, in which case the student must fulfill all the requirements o f that department or program for an Honors minor. 4. Honors preparations m ust represent at least two differen t disciplines: Careful advance planning is essential to make certain that the prerequisites and requirements estab­ lished by separate departments and/or pro­ grams have been met. Honors preparations in Asian Studies may consist of 2-credit seminars, designated pairs o f courses, 1credit attachments to designated 1-credit 101 Asian Studies courses, a 1-credit thesis in conjunction with a 1-credit course, or a 2-credit thesis. W e especially encourage students to con­ sider a course-plus-1-credit thesis combina­ tion, when the combination would allow for an interdisciplinary perspective on a particular issue or them e. W ith the advance approval o f the Asian Studies Comm ittee, course work or research done in study abroad may be incorporated into the preparation. 5. Senior H onors Study (SH S) fo r m ajors, usu­ ally done in the spring semester of the senior year, will normally follow the criteria established for minors by the department in which the Honors preparation is done. SH S for interdisciplinary preparations will be determined in consultation with the rel­ evant professors and the Asian Studies pro­ gram chair. No course credit will be given for S H S for majors. A student may choose to have one o f the four preparations serve as a minor in a discipline; if so, the SH S for that preparation will be governed by the host department’s practice. S H S materials may be examined in regular written exams; they must be examined in oral exams. 6. G rade-point average requirem ent: A student must have at least a B+ in all courses applied to the Honors major. T he A sian Studies H onors M inor To be admitted to the Honors minor, students should have completed at least two Asia-relat­ ed courses, in different departments, at the level of B+ or above. A n Honors minor in A sian Studies consists of a minimum o f 5 credits, distributed as follows: 1. G eographic breadth: There are two “tracks” within the minor. Students should specify which track they intend to pursue when writing sophomore papers. a. C om parative A sian cultures: T h e selec­ tion o f courses and Honors preparation should allow a comparative perspective on the traditional or modem cultures of Asia. Individual programs should be worked out in close consultation with the Asian Studies chair. (Language study does not count toward this track.) b. Focus on a single country or region: A ll courses in the program should focus on the same region or country. Up to 2 cred­ 102 its o f language study may be counted. 2. Disciplinary breadth: Courses must be taken in at least two departments outside o f the disciplinary Honors major. Only one course may overlap with the Honors minor and the Honors major. 3. Foundations: Normally at least one o f the five courses should come from the list of “foundation courses” (see earlier). 4. A sian language study: Asian language study is no t required, but courses in Asian lan­ guages may count toward the Honors minor. For languages offered at Swarthmore [Chinese], courses above the second-year level count toward the minor. For Asian languages no t offered at Swarthmore, courses at the entry level may be approved if at least the equivalent o f 1.5 credits is successfully com pleted in a program approved by the Asian Studies faculty. 5. H onors preparation: A n Honors minor in Asian Studies will submit one preparation, normally a 2-credit seminar, for examina­ tion. For alternative formats o f Honors preparations, see section (4) o f the Asian Studies Honors major (earlier). 6. Senior H onors Study (SH S) for minors, nor­ mally done in the spring semester o f the senior year, will follow the norms estab­ lished by the department in which the Honors preparation is done. N o course credit will be given for SH S for minors. SH S materials may be examined in regular written exams; they must be examined in oral exams. 7. G PA requirem ent: A student must have at least a B+ in all coilrses applied to the hon­ ors minor. COURSES (See descriptions under individual departments to determine offerings for each semester.)

Students are introduced to biology by enrolling in BIO L 001 and 002, which serve as prerequi­ sites for all intermediate and advanced biology courses. Intermediate courses are numbered 010-050; courses numbered beyond 100 are advanced and may be used to prepare for the Honors program. Advanced Placement 5 is accepted for placement in some intermediate courses. See individual instructors for permis­ sion. ST A T 001 or M A TH 003) or the completion o f Calculus II (M A TH 0 6 A and 06B , or 06C ). O ne semester of statistics (ST A T 002 or 002C ) is strongly recommended. Students majoring in biology must take at least one course or seminar in each o f the following three groups: I. C ell and Molecular Biology, II. Organismal Biology, and III. Population Biology. Course majors must take at least one advanced course or seminar in biology and sat­ isfy the general college requirement of a com ­ prehensive experience and exam ination in biology by participation in BIO L 097: Senior Comprehensive Exam. REQUIREMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Students electing to major in biology must have a grade-point average of C in BIO L 001 and 002 (or in the first two Swarthmore biolo­ gy courses) and a C average in all Swarthmore College courses in the natural sciences. T he biology major must include the following sup­ porting subjects in addition to the minimum of 8 biology credits composing either the Honors or the course major: Introductory Chemistry, at least one semester o f Organic Chemistry, and two semesters of college mathematics (not Students who wish to minor in biology must take 6 credits, at least 4 o f which are to be taken at Swarthmore. T h e grade requirement to enter the minor is the same as for the biolo­ gy course major. B IO L 001 and 00 2 are required. There are no requirements for chem ­ istry, math, or physics, and no distribution requirement within the department. Only one course numbered B IO L 003-009 is allowed and only one course in either BIO L 093 or 094Special majors in biochemistry, psychobiology, 105 Biology biostatistics, and environmental science are also offered. W e offer teacher certification in biology through a program approved by the state o f Pennsylvania. Because o f a change in teacher certification regulations that occurred in November 2000, students completing certi­ fication during 2001 to 2003 will need to fulfill somewhat different course requirements ffom those who complete certification in 2004 and beyond. For further information about the rel­ evant set of requirements, please contact the Education program director, th e Biology Department chair, or the Education program W eb site: www.swarthmore.edu/SocSci/Education/. HONORS PROGRAM Admission to the Honors program either as a major or a minor is based on academic record (average of B or better in Swarthmore College courses in the natural sciences) and comple­ tion of prerequisites for the courses or seminars used in preparation for Honors exams. Qualified students will prepare for two external exams from the following areas: Anim al O rien­ tation, Animal Physiology, Behavioral Ecology, Biomechanics, C ell Biology, Developmental G en etics, Human G en etics, Microbiology, Neurobiology, Plant Physiology, and Plant Ecology. Students in Honors also will under­ take a substantial research project (B IO L 180) and participate in Senior Honors Study (BIO L 199). These efforts will be evaluated by exter­ nal examiners, who will determine the level of honorific and grades for BIO L 180 and 199. Biology course numbers reflect study at differ­ ent levels o f organization— General Studies (0 0 1 -0 0 9 ), intermediate courses in Cellular and Molecular Biology (0 1 0 -019), Organismal Biology (0 2 0 -0 2 9 ), Population Biology (0300 3 9 ), Seminars in Cellular and M olecular Biology (1 1 0 -1 1 9 ), Seminars in Organismal Biology (1 20-129) and Seminars in Population Biology (130-139).

T h e purpose o f the Black Studies program is (1) to introduce students to the history, culture and society, and political and economic condi­ tions o f black people in Africa, the Americas, and elsewhere in the world; and (2) to explore new approaches— in perspectives, analyses, and interdisciplinary techniques— appropriate to the study o f the black experience. are required to take B L S T 015 (Introduction to Black Studies), B L S T 091 (Special Topics in Black Studies)— ordinarily in the last semester o f the senior year— and three additional cours­ es listed in the catalog that gain Black Studies credit. O f these three additional courses, at least one o f them must be outside of the depart­ mental major, and at least one o f them must be taken at Swarthmore. W e strongly advise stu­ dents to take a course in African or African diasporic history. Black Studies has often stood in critical rela­ tion to the traditional disciplines. Its scholars have used a range o f sometimes nontraditional methodological tools and have pursued knowl­ edge that assumes the peoples and cultures of Africa and the A frican diaspora are central to accurately understanding th e world. T h e courses in th e B lack Studies program at Swarthmore enhance the liberal arts tradition o f the C ollege, acknowledging positivist, comparative, progressive, modernist and post­ modernist, postcolonial, and A frocentric approaches. Students in any department may add an inter­ disciplinary minor in Black Studies to their departmental major by fulfilling the require­ ments stated subsequently. Applications for admission to the interdisciplinary m inor should be made in the spring semester o f the sophomore year to the coordinator o f the pro­ gram. A ll programs must be approved by the Comm ittee on Black Studies. REQUIREMENTS A ll Interdisciplinary minors in Black Studies 112 B L S T 091, Special Topics in Black Studies, may take the form o f a tutorial (if there are three or fewer students in any given class) or a seminar (if there are four or more students), with all senior minors participating. T h e tuto­ rial or seminar will normally be conducted in the spring term of the senior year and will cul­ minate in a thesis administered by the Black Studies Comm ittee. It is often possible to com­ bine the Black Studies thesis with the senior project for the major. Students who apply their thesis credit to both the major and the minor must receive advanced approval from the B lack Studies C om m ittee and th e major department in the fall o f the senior year. HONORS MINOR A ll students participating in the Honors pro­ gram are invited to define a minor in the Black Studies program. Honors minors in Black Stud­ ies do a single, 2-credit preparation. T his prep­ aration may be based on two units of academic credit selected from the course offerings within the Black Studies program, or it may be a 2credit thesis written under program supervision. Honors minors must meet all other require­ ments of the interdisciplinary minor in course. For an Honors minor in Black Studies, the 2 credits that the student uses for the minor must come from outside of the student’s major de­ partment. O ne of these credits may be B L S T 091. T he student may also pair Black Studies courses together. Such course combinations could include H IS T 0 0 8 B and RELG 010 or FREN 077 and EN G L 0 78 or ECON 082 and POLS 058. W ith respect to course combina­ tions, it should be noted that all Honors work is normally done during the junior or senior years. The 2-credit Honors thesis option must include work done for the interdisciplinary minor and should entail some unifying or integrative prin­ ciple of coherence. In addition, an Honors the­ sis must also include substantial work (normal­ ly 50 percent or more), drawing upon a disci­ pline that is outside o f the student’s major. One unit of the 2-credit preparation by minors will satisfy the B L S T 091 requirement. T h e propos­ al for either the 2-credit Honors thesis or the Honors course combination must be approved by the Black Studies Comm ittee, normally in the fall of the student’s senior year. In the case of the thesis, a Black Studies Committee facul­ ty adviser will be appointed to work with the student. In the spring of the senior year, the student’s Honors thesis will be examined with a written and oral exam by an outside examin­ er. (An Honors thesis may include a video or audio tape of a creative performance activity in dance or music or other approved creative work.) Courses in the Black Studies program are listed subsequently. Courses o f independent study, special attachments on subjects relevant to Black Studies, and courses offered by visiting faculty (those courses not regularly listed in the College Bulletin) may, at the discretion o f the Black Studies Comm ittee, be included in the program. Students who wish to pursue these possibilities should consult with the coordina­ tor of the Black Studies Committee. COURSES T h e following courses may be counted toward a concentration in Black Studies (Class o f ’02 or ’03) or a minor in Black Studies (Class o f ’03 or ’04 and thereafter.) Descriptions o f courses listed can be found in each department’s course listings in this catalog. Art A R T H 025. Arts o f Africa A R T H 027. A frican-American A rt S T U A 021. African Pot Black Studies BLST 015. Introduction to Black Studies This course introduces students to the breadth and depth o f the discipline o f Black Studies using primary sources. It begins with an exam­ ination o f current debates that define theory, method, and goals in Black Studies; it exam­ ines the movement from the more object-cen­ tered Africana studies to subject- and agenticoriented Black Studies that occurred as a result o f the U .S . civil rights and anticolonialist movements in Africa, the Caribbean, and Europe. T h e course examines the challenges that were levied against traditional academic disciplines with the rise o f antiracist scholar­ ship. It briefly examines the conversation between American, Caribbean, and A frican postcolonialists, and it allows students to delve into some o f Black Studies most current and exciting scholarship w ith a focus on the U nited States. 1 credit.

Department seminar. Students should com­ plete these requirements by the fall semester of the junior year. REQUIREMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS T h e norm al route for en trance to the advanced-level program is to take CH EM 0 1 0 followed by 022, 03 2 , and 038. Students with an especially strong precollege background in chemistry are advised to begin with CH EM 010H . Such students will normally be asked to take a placement examination. Students seek­ ing Advanced Placement credit may also be required to take this examination. Consult with the department chair. T h e minimum requirement for a major in chemistry is 9 credits in the department. These must include CH EM 0 10, 022, 032, 034, 038, 045A/B, 04 6 , 05 0 , and one single-credit semi­ nar. Students should note the mathematics and physics prerequisites for Inorganic and Physical Chemistry. T hose considering a major in chem ­ istry are strongly urged to com plete M A TH 005, 00 6 A , 0 0 6 B , 0 1 8 and PHYS 0 0 3 , 004 (or 007, 008) by die en d o f the sophom ore year. In addi­ tion, all students must complete CH EM 010, 02 2 , and 0 3 4 before enrolling in a Chemistry 116 Absent o n leave, 2001-2002. Those students planning professional work in chemistry should include in their programs a fourth semester o f mathematics and at least two additional credits in chemistry. Accredita­ tion by the American Chemical Society (A CS) is useful for those who intend to pursue a career in chem ical industry and requires a year of independent research through CH EM 094, 096, or 180. Further, proficiency in reading sci­ entific German, Russian, or French is an asset to the practicing chemist. W e offer teacher certification in chemistry through a program approved by the state of Pennsylvania. Because o f a change in teacher certification regulations that occurred in No­ vember 2000, students completing certification during 2001 to 2003 will need to fulfill some­ what different course requirements from those who com plete certification in 2004 and beyond. For further information about the rel­ evant set o f requirements, please contact the Education program director, the Chemistry De­ partment chair, or the Education program Web site: www.swarthmore.edu/SocSci/Education/. Research opportunities with individual staff members are available through CH EM 094, 096, and 180. Majors are encouraged to consult the staff about current research problems under investigation. BIOCHEMISTRY SPECIAL MAJOR In collaboration with the Department o f Biol­ ogy, the Department o f Chemistry also offers a special major in biochemistry (see discussion of special major, p. 6 8 ), which provides the stu­ dent with the opportunity to gain a strong background in chemistry with special emphasis on the application o f chemistry to biochemical and molecular biological problems. T h e re­ quirements include CH EM 0 2 2 ,0 3 2 ,0 3 4 ,0 3 8 , 045A/C, 0 4 6 ,0 5 0 , and 108. Biochemistry majors must also complete either (1 ) a biochemically related, sophomore-level biology course (with lab) and a biochem ically related advanced biology seminar (with lab), or (2 ) two biochem ically related, sophomore-level biology courses (with labs). T he term biochem ically related is defined here to include all Biology Group I courses and other courses that are deemed appropriate by consultation among members o f the Chemistry and Biology departments. Students should note the mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology prerequisites for these courses. Those considering a major in biochemistry are strong­ ly urged to complete M A TH 0 0 5 ,006A , 006B , 018 and PHYS 003, 0 0 4 (or 007, 0 0 8 ) by the end of the sophomore year. In addition, all stu­ dents must complete CH EM 0 1 0 ,0 2 2 , and 034 before enrolling in a Chemistry Department seminar. Students should complete these requirements by the fall semester o f the junior year. Research opportunities are available in both the Biology and Chemistry departments. Interested students should consult the chairs of the two departments. either chemistry or physics is required; mathe­ matics courses in linear algebra and multivari­ able calculus are prerequisites to this work. In preparation for a major in chemical physics, students must complete by the end of the sophomore year: (1) CH EM 010/010H and 022; (2) PH YS 0 0 6 ,0 0 7 , 008 (PH YS 003, 004 can substitute, but the 006, 007, 008 sequence is strongly recommended); (3) further work appropriate to the major in either chemistry (CH EM 034, 045A/B and/or 046) or physics (PH YS 014 and 05 0 ); (4) M A TH 016 and 018. A n example o f a major in chem ical physics fol­ lows: CH EM 0 2 2 ,0 3 4 ,045A/B, 0 4 6 ,0 5 0 ,1 0 4 ; P H Y S 0 0 7 ,0 0 8 ,0 1 4 ,0 5 0 , 111, 113. C H E M 096 can be used for laboratory work at the advanced level, but if a student should choose to opt out o f the thesis requirem ent associated w ith CH EM 096, this credit must be replaced by either CH EM 046, CH EM 050, or PH YS 082. CHEMISTRY MIH0R (IN COURSE) A chemistry minor in the course program is also available. It is a 5-credit minor, plus any prerequisites necessary. T h e chemistry credits must include 010, 022, and 034, plus 2 other credits, one o f which must be numbered 04 0 or higher. CH EM 001, CH EM 050, and research credits (094, 096, 180) may not be used to ful­ fill this requirement. Four o f the 5 credits must be obtained here at Swarthmore. HONORS PROGRAM CHEMICAL PHYSICS SPECIAL MAJOR In collaboration with the Physics and Astron­ omy Department, the Chemistry Department also offers a special major in chem ical physics (see discussion o f special major, p. 68), which provides the student with the opportunity to gain a strong background in the study of chem ­ ical processes from a microscopic and molecu­ lar point of view. T h e special major combines course work in chemistry and physics at the introductory and intermediate levels, along with advanced work in physical chemistry and physics, for a total o f between 10 and 12 cred­ its. Laboratory work at the advanced level in Fields A vailable fo r E xam ination: T h e fields offered by the Chemistry Department for exam ination as part of the Honors program are Topics in M odem Organic Chemistry; Topics in Bioinorganic and Organometallic Chemis­ try; Chem ical Dynamics; Theory and Applica­ tions o f Spectroscopy; Topics in Biochemistry; and Biophysics. T h e department will offer three o f these preparations during each acade­ mic year. In addition, a 2-credit research thesis will be offered during each academic year. A ll Honors majors in chemistry will be required to include a research thesis as one o f their three fields o f study. Preparation for a research thesis within an 117 Chemistry Honors program consists o f enrollment in 2 credits o f CH EM 180 during the senior year. Preparations for the other five fields consist of completion o f the relevant single-credit semi­ nar and associated prerequisites. For each of the preparations, these prerequisites include CH EM 010, 022, and 034; M A TH 005, 006A , and 006B ; PH YS 003 and 004.

Classics is the study o f the ancient Greeks and Romans, who produced some o f the world’s greatest literature and who shaped Western history and culture. T h e Department of Classics teaches the Greek and Latin languages and lit­ eratures from the beginning level through Honors seminars. A ny student who wishes to major or minor in G reek or Latin can do so without having studied it before entering college. T hose who begin a language at Swarthmore start to read literature by the end o f one year. A fter two years, students are usual­ ly prepared for seminars, in which they read and discuss in depth such authors as Homer, Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, Plato, Thucy­ dides, Herodotus, Cicero, Tacitus, Catullus, Horace, and Vergil. ican School of Classical Studies in Athens, and its students have privileges at those institu­ tions. Classics students are eligible for the Susan P. Cobbs Scholarship, the Susan P. Cobbs Prize Fellowship, and the Helen F. N orth Award, for study abroad or for intensive beginning language study in the summer. G reek and Latin are studied in courses num­ bered from 001 to 019 and in seminars. Courses listed as Classics (designated C L A S and num­ bered 0 2 0 and over) have no prerequisites and assume no knowledge o f G reek or Latin; instead, English translations are used to intro­ duce students to the history, literature, philos­ ophy, mythology, religion, and archaeology of the ancient world. C L A S courses listed under ancient history count as prerequisites toward advanced courses in the Department of History and as part o f a major in history. T h e Department of. Classics encourages stu­ dents to spend a semester, usually during their junior year, at the Intercollegiate C enter for Classical Studies in Rome. Here students from many American colleges study Latin, Greek, Italian, art history, and the ancient city; they also take field trips in Rom e and Italy. Swarthmore College also helps to support the Am erican Academy in Rom e and the Amer­ 122 T h e Classics Department participates in the Medieval Studies program, the Women’s Studies program, the comparative literature major, and a special major in linguistics and languages. REQUIREMENTS FOR MAJORS AND MINORS Greek, Latin, or ancient history may be a stu­ dent’s major or minor subject in either the course or the Honors program. A major in G reek consists o f at least 8 credits in Greek beyond G REK 001-002 and at least three seminars. A major in Latin consists of at least 8 credits in Latin beyond LATN 001-002, and at least three seminars. A major in ancient history consists o f four ancient history courses (C L A S 031, 032, 042, 044, or 056); a 1-credit attachm ent (a substantial, independent project consisting o f a thesis or a set o f two or three related, shorter papers) to any o f those history courses; another attachm ent to a second course or else any other course in ancient history or classical civilization; and a Latin or Greek sem­ inar, specifically LATN 102, LATN 105, or G R E K 113. Adm ittance to seminars is based upon the student’s ability to read Greek or Latin with the needed speed and comprehen­ sion. Those who intend to major or minor in Greek or Latin, or to major in ancient history, should com plete the appropriate language courses numbered O il and 012 (or their equiv­ alent) as early as possible. of 4,000 words). Majors will, therefore, submit three such papers, and minors will submit one. SH S is no t required for students whose Honors preparation is a course with an attachment. In their last semester, majors who are no t in the Honors program take a comprehensive examination, including written final exams in three fields (usually corresponding to seminars taken) and an oral exam. T h e portfolio sent to examiners will contain the seminar papers, together with syllabi and related materials, if any, from the instructors. A combination o f (three-hour) written and oral exams will be the mode o f external assessment for seminars. For course-plus-attachment, the exam will be just an oral. A course minor in Greek or Latin will consist of 5 credits o f work in either language above the first-year level and must include at least one 2-credit seminar. M inors are strongly encouraged to take more than one seminar. A course minor in ancient history will consist of four courses in ancient history and an attach­ ment to one of them. T h a t attachm ent will be presented to members o f the department for evaluation and oral examination. THE HONORS PROGRAM IN CLASSICS For a major in G reek or Latin, preparation for Honors exams will normally consist o f three seminars (students may take a fourth seminar in the major but not for external examination). A student minoring in Greek or Latin will take one external examination based on one semi­ nar. Minors are, however, strongly encouraged to take more than one seminar, in order to be adequately prepared for the examination. Greek GREK 001-002.

T h e program in cognitive science is designed to emphasize both guided breadth across various disciplines that contribute to cog­ nitive science as well as depth within a chosen discipline. T h e requirements for the concen­ tration are identical to those for the minor, and the word concentration (or concentrate) may be substituted for minor throughout the fol­ lowing for the Class o f ’02 or ’03. There are many different reasons that one might wish to m inor in cognitive science. Perhaps the simplest is to indicate and explore a particular interest in cognitive science. W hatever your major, a minor in cognitive sci­ ence indicates a kind o f specialized interest and developing expertise. It is our hope that this interest will be integrated with your major area o f study, and we hope to help you formulate a plan o f studies that achieves the requirements o f the minor sensibly. W e conceive o f cognitive science as a loose federation of six specific disciplines. T h e disci­ plines included are neuroscience (biology or psychobiology), computer science (including computer engineering), linguistics, mathemat­ ics and statistics, philosophy, and cognitive psychology. To demonstrate breadth, students concentrating in cognitive science are required to complete at least 2 credits in three o f these six disciplines (see the list o f courses). Students wishing to use 2 credits in mathematics and statistics as one o f their disciplines for a cogni­ tive science minor must chose 2 credits from a single subarea o f mathematics and indicate its relevance to at least one o f the two other disci­ plines chosen for the minor. Minors must also 128 show a particular strength or depth in one of the six disciplines. REQUIREMENTS A total o f 8 credits are required for the minor. O n e of these is a required introductory course, one is a capstone thesis, and the remaining six are to be distributed across three different dis­ ciplines as described subsequently. Several of these credits may also count toward the stu­ dent’s major field, however, so only 5 credits need be earned outside the major in many cases. In addition to fulfilling these breadth require­ ments, students must indicate one cognitive science field in which they have substantial depth o f preparation. Such depth can be docu­ mented by completion o f at least four courses from w ithin a cognitive science discipline (even if some o f those courses are not directly related to cognitive science). Alternative cur­ ricular and extracurricular ways o f fulfilling the depth requirement may be discussed with the coordinator. A ll minors must normally take Introduction to Cognitive Science. COGS 001. Introduction to Cognitive Science A n introduction to the science o f the mind from the perspective of cognitive psychology, linguistics, neuroscience, philosophy, and arti­ ficial intelligence. T h e course introduces stu­ dents to the scientific investigation of such questions as: W hat does it mean to think or to have consciousness? C an a computer have a mind? W hat does it mean to have a concept! W hat is language such that we may know it? W hat kinds o f explanations are necessary to explain cognition? 1 credit. Spring 2002. Kako. In addition, all minors must normally complete a 1-credit thesis in cognitive science in their senior year. This credit may either overlap with (be embedded within) a thesis in the major department, or it may be independent (C O G S 090). In either case, non-Honors theses in cog­ nitive science will normally be examined by Cognitive Science Committee members from within at least two different departments to fulfill this requirement.

Theory of Knowledge The remaining 6 required credits are to be dis­ tributed equally among three different disci­ plines o f cognitive science. T h at is, 2 credits of listed courses from each o f three o f the six dis­ ciplines must be completed. T h e list o f courses currently approved as cognitive science courses is rather selective because it is intended to focus students on the most essential cores of cognitive scien ce w ithin each discipline. There are many more courses taught on campus that are closely relevant to cognitive science. T his list is subject to periodic re-eval­ uation. PHIL 026/116.

Program in G renoble, fall 2001 T h e comparative literature major is adminis­ tered by a Comparative Literature Committee made up of the coordinator and faculty repre­ senting the Classics, English Literature, and M odem Languages and Literatures depart­ ments. T h e basic requirement for the major is w ork in two literatures in the original language. T h e major in comparative literature is de­ signed for those students who have a love for literature and a strong desire to write and are interested in literary critical research. N ot for everyone, this major assumes a fair degree of discipline, independence, and self-motivation on the part of the student and especially in the development and writing o f the thesis. In planning a comparative literature major, students should look at course listings in the Classics, English, and M odem Languages and Literatures departments. O f courses in the Classics and M odem Languages and Liter­ atures departments, only courses in the original language numbered 011 or above are counted as constituents of the comparative literature major. O f English courses numbered 005A -X , only one may be counted for the major. Students applying for the major will submit to the comparative literature coordinator a pro­ posal o f integrated study that sets forth the courses and/or seminars to be taken and the principle o f coherence on which the program of study is based. T h e student will also submit a 6- to 10-page writing sample from a previous­ ly completed course. T h e com m ittee will review the proposal and the essay and advise the 130 student. N ote: In lieu of a regular course, the Compar­ ative Literature Committee will consider pro­ posals for one or more research papers written as course attachments as well as proposals to substitute an extended research paper for course credit. REQUIREMENTS FOR A MAJOR IN COURSE 1. Ten credits in two or m ore literatures in the orig­ in al languages, including a substantial con­ centration of work— normally four or five courses— in each of the literatures. T h e the­ sis (described later) does not count toward these 10 credits. Students working entirely in languages other than English may propose one course in translation as a part o f their program, as long as it is deeply relevant to their plan of study. Students working in English and any language other than Chinese must do all of their work in the original languages. Because of the special demands of Chinese language and literature, students working in Chinese may propose a program based on attachm ents (in C h in ese) to literature courses taught in translation. 2. A 1- or 2-credit thesis o f 50-60 pp., covering work in at least two languages, planned in the spring o f the junior year, and submitted in the spring o f the senior year, no later than April 30. Before the end o f the junior year, the student will submit to the committee an outline for the thesis and propose faculty advisors from appropriate departments. In some cases, the committee may ask that the thesis be written in whole or in part in the language o f a literature studied other than English. 3. An oral com prehensive exam ination, 1 to 1.5 hours in length, at the end o f the senior year, based on the thesis and on the courses and seminars comprising the major. available, a series o f sample programs are offered below.

Computer science is the study of algorithms and the issues involved in implementing them. This includes the study o f computer systems, methods to specify algorithms (for people and computer systems), and the formulation of the­ ories and models to aid in the understanding and analysis o f the properties o f algorithms, computing systems, and their interrelationship. The Computer Science program is designed to provide students with a flexible set o f offerings in computing that can be tailored to satisfy interests in various areas and at several levels of depth. A ll the courses emphasize the funda­ mental concepts o f computer science, treating today’s languages and systems as current exam­ ples of the underlying concepts. T h e Computer Science Laboratory provides up-to-date soft­ ware and hardware facilities. There are three entry points to the computer science curricu­ lum at Swarthmore. CPSC 0 1 0 : G reat Ideas in C om puter Science is designed for freshmen with little or no experi­ ence in computer science. It is an introduction that emphasizes breadth o f coverage over depth or skill building. Most appropriate for first- or second-year students who lack confi­ dence in their abilities in computer science. CPSC 0 2 1 : T he Im perative Paradigm : U N IX and C falls between C P S C 0 1 0 and C P S C 022 in pace. No previous experience with comput­ ers is necessary. C P S C 021 will introduce fun­ damental ideas in computer science while building skill in software development. This course is appropriate for all students who want to be able to write programs. It is for students who are comfortable with computers. This is the usual first course for computer science majors and minors. Students with Advanced Placement credit or extensive programming experience may be able to place out of this course. C P S C 0 2 2 : Structure an d In terpretation o f C om puter Program s is designed for students who plan to take several courses in computer science. T his course is a fast-paced introduc­ tion to the kind of abstraction used in all areas o f computer science. T h e language used is a dialect o f LISP. For students who intend to be computer science majors or minors and are flu­ ent in a language like C and feel comfortable about their abilities, this is the best first course. Students or advisers who want more advice on placement in computer science courses should feel free to contact any computer science fac­ ulty member by phone or in person. T h e Computer Science program offers course majors and minors and Honors majors and minors. Students interested in any o f these options are encouraged to meet with the chair of the Computer Science program as early in their Swarthmore years as possible. T h e minor in computer science is designed for students who desire a coherent introduction to the core topics in the field but cannot afford the num­ ber o f courses required o f a major. Students completing the minor will possess a number of intellectual skills useful in many disciplines. Students electing to do a course major or minor in computer science must have a gradepoint average o f B or better in C P S C 021 (if exempted from C P S C 021, then replace it with another computer science course, other than C P S C 0 1 0 ), C P S C 022, and C P S C 035.

JOINT SPECIAL MAJORS Students desiring to integrate computer science with another discipline in a more formal man­ ner are encouraged to develop a special major combining computer science and another area. Such special majors require the approval of computer science and the other department involved. Special majors should be designed in consultation with the chair o f the Computer Science program as early in the student’s pro­ gram as possible. Approval of a special major is not guaranteed. It will depend upon the avail­ ability o f resources (both faculty and equip­ m ent) and the student’s demonstrated ability to work independently. HONORS PROGRAM Honors majors and minors in computer science are available. HONORS MAJOR A n Honors major in computer science will consist of: two 2-credit preparations, one 2credit research report or thesis, Senior Honors 134 Study, and a minor preparation. T h e following will be submitted to external examiners to be evaluated: 1. Two 2-credit preparations to be selected from the combinations o f courses listed below. Each of these 2-credit preparations will be examined by a three-hour written exam and an oral exam. T h e two 2-credit preparations must include four distinct courses. In certain circumstances, the Computer Science program may be willing to consider other groupings o f courses, semi­ nars, or courses with attachm ents. If the required courses and preparations would not satisfy a course major, additional computer sci­ ence courses must be taken to meet course major requirements. In all cases, the Computer Science program must approve the student’s plan o f study. 2. O n e 2-credit research report or thesis to be read by an external examiner and exam­ ined orally. A t a minimum, this will involve a review of scholarly papers from the primary literature of computer science and the writing o f a scholar­ ly scientific paper. W e hope that the paper will report on a research experience involving the student and faculty (here or elsewhere). It is expected that most o f the research or scholarly groundwork will be completed before the fall semester of the senior year either by 1 credit of work in the spring semester o f the junior year or full-time summer work. Students will regis­ ter for at least 1 credit of thesis work in the fall o f the senior year to complete the work and write the paper. It is expected that the paper will be completed by the end o f the fall semes­ ter. To be eligible for an Honors major in comput­ er science students must: 1. Have a B+ average in all computer science courses completed by the end o f junior year. These must include: C P S C 021, C PSC 022, C P S C 035, and at least one of C PSC 025 or C P S C 046. 2. Have demonstrated proficiency in mathe­ m atical argument and reasoning by the end o f the junior year. Ordinarily, this profi­ ciency will be assumed if the student has: a.

Because advanced courses in computer science are offered only in alternate years, some selections will be unavail­ able to some students. A course o f study abroad should be agreed upon with the chair o f Com ­ puter Science program before it is taken. T he Computer Science program will give credit for appropriate courses taken abroad. T h e program determines credit earned by students on their return to Swarthmore on the basis o f evidence presented by the student. Depending on the resources available to the program, indepen­ dent study and/or reading courses may occa­ sionally be offered to accommodate students who are unable to take desired offerings because o f study abroad. covered include history, applications, the basic design o f a digital computer, the programming process, theory o f computability, artificial intelligence, and the social implications of computing. Students will contribute to and modify the emphasis o f the course by writing and presenting papers in the last third o f the semester. No previous experience with com ­ puters or computing will be assumed, and pro­ gramming will no t be emphasized in this course. Nonetheless, much o f the material will be encountered in laboratory sessions in addi­ tion to the lecture-discussion sessions. Lab work required. It is designed for freshmen, and they will be given enrollment preference. Prerequisite: None. N ot open to students with college-level computer science credit.

The Imperative Paradigm: Unix and C GRADUATE STUDY Students interested in graduate study in com ­ puter science will be well prepared by a major in computer science. Som e graduate programs will also accept students who have majored in mathematics or engineering and completed a sufficient number and selection o f computer science courses. T h e choice o f the appropriate major and computing courses will depend on the student’s interests and should be made in consultation with the chair o f the Computer Science program. O ther majors are also reason­ able for students with special interests. For example, a major in linguistics or psychology might be appropriate for a student interested in artificial intelligence or cognitive science. In such cases, students should consult as early as possible with the chair o f the program in order to be sure o f taking the mathematics and com ­ puting courses necessary to be prepared for graduate work in computer science.

T h e courses in economics have three main goals: (1) to provide insight into the processes and accompanying institutions through which productive activity is organized; (2 ) to develop a set o f tools for analyzing economic processes and institutions; and (3 ) to build a foundation for reaching informed judgments on issues of public policy. ECO N 001 or its equivalent is a prerequisite fo r all other u/ork m the departm ent. In addition, all majors in economics must satisfy a theory re­ quirement by taking ECO N 011 (Intermediate Microeconomics) and ECO N 021 (Intermedi­ ate Macroeconomics). T hey must also satisfy a statistics requirement by taking ECO N 031 (Statistics for Economists) or its equivalent or ST A T 053 (ST A T 001 or ST A T 002 do not meet the requirement). T h e statistics course in the Economics Department focuses more on the application o f statistical tools to economic problems; the statistics courses in the M ath­ ematics and Statistics Department focus more on the derivation of the mathematical and sta­ tistical properties o f various estimators. To read the literature in economics critically, a knowledge of elementary calculus is extremely useful. T h e department very strongly recom­ mends that students take M A TH 005 and either M A TH 006A and 0 0 6 C (basic calculus) or the series o f M A TH 0 06A and 006B and M A TH 018. M A TH 0 16 (Linear Algebra) and M A TH 0 1 8 (Several Variable Calculus) are 140 valuable for those intending to focus on the more technical aspects o f economics. Students planning to attend graduate school in econom­ ics should give serious thought to taking addi­ tional mathematics courses such as M ATH 030 (D ifferential Equations) and M A TH 047 (Introduction to Real Analysis). Students contemplating careers in business or law may wish to take accounting. In turn, stu­ dents contemplating careers in international economics or business are strongly urged to have a mastery o f at least one modem foreign language. To graduate as a major, a student must have at least 8 credits in economics; meet the theory and statistics requirements; and, in the senior year, pass the comprehensive exam ination given early in the spring semester (course stu­ dents) or the Honors examinations given at the end o f the spring semester (Honors stu­ dents). To be prepared for the comprehensive exam, course students are strongly advised to complete ECO N O il, ECO N 021, and ECON 031 (or its equivalent) before the second semester o f their senior year. Students who are contemplating a major in economics should consult Econom ics at Swarmm ore: D epartm ent H andbook (available in the department office) for additional information regarding the details o f the program. Economics majors can complete the require­ ments for teacher certification through a pro­ gram approved by the state o f Pennsylvania. Because of a change in teacher certification regulations that occurred in November 2000, students completing certification during 2001 to and 2003 will fulfill the requirements for Social Studies certification, and those who complete certification in 2004 and beyond will complete the requirements for Citizenship Education. For further information about the relevant set o f requirements, please contact, the Education program director, the Economics Department chair, or the Education program Web site: www.swarthmore.edu/SocSci/Education. The Economics Department will not offer a minor in economics except in the Honors program. COURSES cational attainm ent. It examines the facts about student achievement and educational expenditure in the U nited States and the rela­ tionship between them. It studies what is known about such questions as: Does reducing class size improve student achievement? Does paying teachers more improve teacher quality and student outcomes?

T h e Program in Education has three purposes: to expose students to issues in education from a variety o f disciplinary perspectives; to pro­ vide a range of field experiences for students who wish to explore their aptitude and interest in teaching, counseling, or research in an edu­ cational setting; and to prepare students to be certified for entry into public school teaching, in accordance w ith the requirem ents o f Pennsylvania Chapters 354, 49, and 4- Courses in the Program in Education are intended to be integral to the College’s academic offerings, and, with the exception of Practice Teaching and the Curriculum and Methods Seminar, all education courses include large numbers of stu­ dents who do not intend to become teachers. Introduction to Education, for instance, is taken by approximately one-third o f each grad­ uating class. T h e program’s most important goal is to help students learn to think critically and creatively about the process o f education and the place o f education in society. To this end, both its introductory and upper-level courses necessarily draw on the distinctive approaches o f psychology, sociology, anthro­ pology, political science, economics, and histo­ ry. Because students major in a variety of disci­ plines, courses in education offer both an opportunity to apply the particular skills of one’s chosen field to a new domain and inter­ action with other students whose disciplinary approaches may differ significantly from one’s own. There is a limit of four field-based educa­ tion credits (currently ED U C 016 and 091A ) that can be counted toward graduation. EDUC 014: Introduction to Education is generally considered a prerequisite for further work in the program. 146 SPECIAL MAJORS There is no major in education, but special majors with history, linguistics, political sci­ ence, psychology, sociology and anthropology, and English literature are regularly approved, and special majors with other fields such as art, computer science, math, and biology also have been designed. Special majors involving edu­ cation usually include 10 to 12 credits, at least 4 of which must be in education, though typi­ cally there are 5 to 6 credits in each o f the two departments that make up the major. A thesis or a comprehensive exam ination integrating work in the two fields is required. Both depart­ ments collaborate in advising students pursu­ ing special majors. HONORS PROGRAM Students may pursue the Honors program in education either as a part o f a special major or as a minor. Special m ajor H onors program s will take one of the following forms: (1) two prepa­ rations in education and two in the other dis­ cipline that is part of their special major; (2) three preparations in education and one in the other discipline; or (3 ) two-and-a-half prepara­ tions in education and one-and-a-half in the other discipline (or vice versa) when an inte­ grative, 2-credit thesis receives 1 credit from both departments. All education special m ajors in the Honors program will complete a 2-cred­ it thesis and write a short intellectual autobi­ ography that will be submitted to the Honors examiner. E ducation m inors in the Honors pro­ gram will take a 2-credit seminar, a course and an attachment, or write a 2-credit thesis to pre­ pare for the external examination. T hey will also write an intellectual autobiography. COURSE MINORS The Program in Education will support two kinds of minors: (1 ) a teaching and field-based minor and (2 ) an educational studies minor. Teaching and field-based m inor. Students will complete at least 5 education credits that focus on educational practice and the integration of theory and practice in school placements. This minor will normally be done in conjunction with teacher certification. T h e credits that comprise this minor are Educational Psychol­ ogy, Curriculum and M ethods seminar, Practice Teaching (2 credits), and one of the following: Educating the Young Learner, Adolescence or C hild Psychology and Practice. Educational studies m inor. Students will take at least 5 credits in discipline-based education courses. For this minor, students will identify a focus and describe how two or more o f the courses or seminars they are proposing for the minor are related to this focus. Possible foci include but are not limited to educational pol­ icy, educational psychology, school and society, urban education, environmental education, lit­ eracy, gender and education, and special edu­ cation. ED U C 016 and 017 will not count toward an educational studies minor. FOREIGN STUDY Students may apply for education credit for work done abroad (either in a formal course or in a field placement in an educational setting), provided that they have taken ED U C 014: Introduction to Education at Swarthmore. T he Swarthmore course may be taken prior to study abroad or subsequent to it. Credit will be granted once Introduction to Education has been completed. TEACHER CERTIFICATION Swarthmore offers a competency-based teacher preparation program for students who seek sec­ ondary certification from the Commonwealth o f Pennsylvania. Competency is judged by an interdisciplinary com m ittee o f the faculty whose members include education faculty and faculty from the majors in which we certify stu­ dents. T h e Teacher Education Committee has established criteria for certification in biology, chemistry, English, French, German, mathe­ matics, physics, Spanish, and social studies that m eet both the “G eneral Standards” and “Specific Program Guidelines for State Ap­ proval o f Professional Education Programs.” Individividual student programs are designed in conjunction with departmental representa­ tives and members o f the education staff. A ll students seeking certification must m eet Swarthmore C ollege’s distribution require­ ments in the humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences and the requirements for a major or special major. Students are formally admitted to the teacher certification program in the spring semester o f their sophomore year. A ll students seeking teacher certification must meet grade-point averages for entry and exit from the program as specified in PA 354 as well as complete college-level math and English courses before being admitted to the program. T hey must also pass the specific P R A X IS exams required by Pennsylvania for their certi­ fication area, either before or after they com­ plete the teacher education course require­ ments at the College. A full description of the Swarthmore teacher education requirements (in education and in specific co n ten t fields/majors) is available on the Education program W eb site: http://www.swarthmore.edu/SocSci/Education/N inth-sem ester option : Students who have com ­ pleted all the requirements for certification in their discipline and in education, except for Student Teaching (ED U C 016) and Curric- 14 7 Education ulum and Methods Sem inar (ED U C 0 1 7 ) may apply to return following graduation to com­ plete the teacher certification program during a ninth semester. During this semester, they take ED U C 016 (2 credits) and E D U C 017, and they pay for a total o f one course o f tuition and student fees. They are not eligible for cam­ pus housing. Further information on the ninthsemester option is available in the Education Office. REQUIREMENTS FOR SECONDARY TEACHER CERTIFICATION Students planning to seek secondary certifica­ tion should take E D U C 014: Introduction to Education by the end o f their sophomore year and enroll for ED U C 016: Practice Teaching (a double-credit course) and E D U C 017: Curric­ ulum and Methods Sem inar in their senior year or during a ninth semester. In addition, they must com plete the following sequence o f courses: E D U C 021. Educational Psychology E D U C 023. Adolescence A n additional elective course from the follow­ ing: 1. E D U C 025.

Urban Education A n Honors seminar in education may be sub­ stituted for the elective course. Students will be admitted to the certification program after submitting their sophomore paper and taking E D U C 014: Introduction to Education. To student teach, students must be recommended by their major department, by their Cooperating Teacher in Introduction to Education, and by members o f the faculty in education who have taught the student. Placement o f students for practice teaching is contingent on successful interviews with the 148 director o f the Education program and with appropriate secondary school personnel. Elem entary C ertification Option Swarthmore College does not offer certifica­ tion in elementary education. However, if stu­ dents complete the Swarthmore courses, listed below, and enroll for two courses at Eastern College (Com munication Arts for Children and Teaching o f Reading), they can receive elem entary certification through Eastern College. T h e required Swarthmore courses for elementary certification are Introduction to Education; Educational Psychology; Develop­ m ental Psychology; T eaching th e Young Learner; Practice Teaching; Curriculum and Methods Seminar; and a series o f workshops in M ath, Social Studies, and Science Methods. TITLE II TEACHER EDUCATION REPORT As required by Title II o f the Higher Education A ct, Swarthmore College has submitted data to the Pennsylvania Department o f Education regarding the cohort o f students who complet­ ed the teacher certification program between September 1999 and August 2000. Swarth­ more College secondary certification students had a 100 percent pass rate on all o f the required P R A X IS tests: Reading, Writing, M ath, Listening, and the Principles of Learning and Teachng 7-12. They also had a 100 percent pass rate on all o f the subject spe­ cialty tests taken by program completers, although because there were fewer than 10 individuals taking the tests in any o f the sub­ je c t areas, these could not be officially report­ ed. Swarthmore students in the 1999-2000 cohort took and passed the P R A X IS subject area tests in biology, English, math, and social studies. A ll o f the Swarthmore College ele­ mentary certification candidates, who partici­ pated in the jo in t program w ith Eastern College also passed all of the required PRAXIS tests. In this cohort, all o f the Swarthmore College graduates who were certified held teaching positions in the academic year follow­ ing certification, except for two who chose to take nonteaching jobs. T h e majority chose to teach in the Philadelphia metropolitan area, though in a typical year, many Swarthmore teacher education graduates teach out o f state, all over the country.

The professional practice o f engineering requires creativity and confidence in applying scientific knowledge and mathematical m eth­ ods to the solution o f technical problems of ever-growing complexity. T h e pervasiveness of advanced technology within our economic and social infrastructures demands that engineers more fully recognize and take into account potential economic and social consequences that may follow from resolving significant and analytically well-defined technical issues. A responsibly educated engineer must, therefore, not only be in confident command o f current analytic and design techniques but also have a thorough understanding of social and econom­ ic influences and an abiding appreciation for cultural and humanistic traditions. Our pro­ gram supports these needs by offering each engineering student the opportunity to acquire a broad yet individualized technical and liberal education. O bjectives o f the Engineering Program : Graduates with the bachelor o f science degree in En­ gineering will have the following: Mission o f the Engineering Program : As stated in the introduction on p. 9 o f this catalog, Swarthmore seeks to help its students realize their fullest intellectual and personal potential, combined with a deep sense of ethical and social concern. W ithin this context, the De­ partment of Engineering seeks to graduate stu­ dents with a broad, rigorous education empha­ sizing strong analysis and synthesis skills. Our graduates will be well rounded and responsible and able to adapt to new technical challenges, communicate effectively, and collaborate well with others. 1. Proficiency in the analysis o f engineering systems 2. Proficiency in engineering design 3. Broad background in the liberal arts 4. Effective oral and written communica­ tions skills 5. Ability to adapt to changing situations and new technical challenges Our departmental major program leading to the degree of bachelor o f science in engineer­ ing is accredited by the Engineering A ccredita­ tion Commission o f the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology. T h e structure o f the department’s curriculum permits engineering majors to devote as much as three-eighths of their course work to the humanities and social sciences. About half of our majors pursue either a minor or a double major leading to two degrees, the bachelor of science in engineering, and a bachelor o f arts in a second academic discipline within their four-year course o f study. Departmental approval o f a double major requires a B average among courses in mathematics, science, and engineering. T h e department’s physical facilities include laboratories for general instruction and indi­ vidual student projects in electronics, electro­ magnetism, optics, systems dynamics and con­ trol, communications, engineering materials, solid and structural mechanics, fluid mechanics, 153 Engineering fossil and solar energy conversion, acoustics, nonlinear dynamics, and environmental water and air pollution control. W ithin these labora­ tories is a wide variety of modem measurement equipment configured for computer-assisted data acquisition and process control; data flies are directly accessible from the college computer network. A workstation laboratory with high performance color graphics and industry-stan­ dard engineering design, analysis, and graphics software is also part of our departmental facili­ ties. Electronics, metal, and woodworking shops that support our courses and laboratories are also available for student use. Courses Readily A vailable to Students N ot M ajoring or M inoring in Engineering High Performance Composites (001), Explor­ ing Acoustics (0 0 2 ), Problems in Technology (0 0 3 ), and A rt and Science o f Structures (007) are designed chiefly for students contemplating only an introduction to engineering. Mechanics (0 0 6 ) is primarily for prospective majors, but other interested students, particu­ larly those preparing for careers in architecture or biomechanics, are encouraged to enroll. Introduction to Environm ental Protection (0 0 4 A ), Operations Research (0 5 7 ), Solar Energy Systems (0 3 5 ), W ater Quality and Pollution Control (0 6 3 ), Swarthmore and the Biosphere (0 0 4 B ), Environm ental Systems (0 6 6 ), and Environmental Policy and Politics (0 0 4 C ) appeal to many students majoring in other departments, particularly those pursuing the Environmental Studies minor. Students interested in computers, including Computer Science majors or minors, may wish to consider Digital System Design (024), Principles of Computer A rch itectu re (0 2 5 ), Computer Graphics (0 2 6 ), Computer Vision (027), and Robotics (0 2 8 ). Students majoring in the phys­ ical sciences or mathematics may enroll rou­ tinely in advanced engineering courses. Depart­ ment faculty members also support minors in computer science and Environmental Studies and a special major with the Linguistics program. N ote that Engineering Methodology, High Performance Composites, Exploring Acoustics, Problems in Technology, A rt and Science of Structures, Introduction to Environm ental Protection, Swarthmore and the Biosphere, and Environmental Policy and Politics are not admissible as technical electives within an Engineering major or minor but may be taken 154 as free electives subject to the 20-Course Rule. M ajoring or M inoring in Engineering Requirements for a course major or minor: C ourse M ajor G eneral departmental requirements fall into two categories: successful completion of at least (1) 12 engineering courses and (2) 8 courses in science and mathematics. W ithin category (2) students must receive 2 credits in Physics, one in Chemistry and 4 in Math. T hey must also receive credit or placement for PH YS 003 & 004 or 007 & 008, CH EM 010, and MATH 005, 006, 018, & 030. T h e unspecified course in category (2) should be chosen to comple­ m ent the student’s overall program o f study and will normally be from one o f the following Swarthmore departments: Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, or Physics and Astronomy. Furthermore, this unspecified course must be acceptable for credit toward a minimal major in the offering department to be admissible toward an Engineering major. No courses intended to satisfy these departmental require­ ments, except those taken fall semester in the first year, may be taken Credit/No Credit. W ithin category (1), the following core courses are required o f all students: M echanics, Elec­ tric Circuit Analysis, Linear Physical Systems Analysis, Experim entation for Engineering Design, Thermofluid Mechanics, and Engineer­ ing Design (EN G R 006, O il, 012, 014, 041, and 0 90). O f these, the first four are normally taken as follows: Mechanics in the spring semester o f first year, Electric Circuit Analysis in the fall semester of sophomore year, and Linear Physical Systems Analysis and Experi­ mentation for Engineering Design in the spring semester o f sophomore year. Thermofluid M echanics can be taken in the fall of junior year or senior year, and Engineering Design, the culminating experience for engineering majors, must be taken in the spring of senior year. Submission and oral presentation of the Final Project Report in Engineering Design constitutes the comprehensive examination for majors in Engineering. Elective Program fo r Course Majors: In consultation with his or her adviser, each student devises a program o f advanced work in the department. These programs, normally including six cours­ es, are submitted for departmental approval as part of the formal application for a major in engineering during the spring semester of sophomore year. A student’s elective program may or may not conform to some traditional or conventional area o f engineering specialization (e.g., electri­ cal, mechanical, or civil). Thus, for each plan of advanced work, the department requires a coherent, well-justified program that, in its judg­ ment, meets the student’s stated educational objectives. Typical elective program plans include the follow mg: 1. E lectrical engineering group: Electronic Circuit Applications, Physical Electronics, Electro­ dynamics, Communication Systems, Digital Signal Processing, V LSI Design, and Control Theory and Design. Students having an interest in digital systems might replace one or more of these courses with Digital System Design, Principles of Computer A rchitec­ ture, or Computer Graphics. 2. Com puter engineering group: Digital System Design, Principles of Computer Architecture, Computer Graphics, Computer Vision, and Robotics. Students with an interest in com­ puter hardware may include E lectronic Circuit Applications, Physical Electronics, Digital Signal Processing, V L SI Design, or Control Theory and Design. 3. M echanical engineering group: Mechanics of Solids, Engineering M aterials, Fluid Mechanics, Heat Transfer, Thermal Energy Conversion, Solar Energy Systems, or Control Theory and Design. 4. Civil and environm ental engineering group: Basic preparation includes M echanics of Solids, Structural Theory and Design I, Soil and Rock Mechanics, and W ater Quality and Pollution Control. Additional courses include Operations Research and Environ­ mental Systems for those interested in the environment or urban planning, or Struc­ tural Theory and Design II for those inter­ ested in architecture or construction. O ther recommended courses include Solar Energy Systems, Fluid Mechanics, and Engineering Materials. Course Minor Academ ic advising: Students interested in pur­ suing a minor are responsible for finding a fac­ ulty member within the Engineering Depart­ ment to advise them. If possible, this faculty member should have interests that overlap the area o f the minor. If a student encounters diffi­ culties in identifying an adviser, s/he should seek the assistance o f the ch air o f the Engineering Department. Students planning to m inor in Engineering should consult their Engineering advisers regularly, and the sopho­ more papers of Engineering minors should indi­ cate the plan to minor and the courses chosen to fulfill the minor. R equirem ents: A minimum of 5 credits in engi­ neering is required, o f which at least two must be core courses (EN G R 006, O il, 012, 014, or 041, but not EN G R 0 90). T h e remainder will be selected from elective course offerings with­ in the department. Only those electives that count toward an engineering major can be counted toward a minor. • Supporting work in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and computer science is only necessary when designated as a prerequisite to an individual engineering course. • No directed readings may be used as one of the 5 credits for the minor. • A t most, 1 transfer credit, which must be preapproved by the Engineering Depart­ ment, will be accepted in partial fulfillment o f the requirements for the minor. Transfer credits may not be used for one of the two courses used to fulfill the core course re­ quirement o f the minor. Students should be aware that most lecture courses at other institutions carry only 0.75 Swarthmore credits, unless they include a full lab sequence. Students seeking to use foreign study or domestic exchange work in partial fulfillm ent o f the requirements for the minor should consult their academic advi­ sors and the C h air o f the Engineering Department as early as possible to ensure that all requirements are met. • No culminating experience will be required. O nly students pursuing th e m ajor in Engineering may enroll in EN G R 090. A reas o f study: Although packaged selections o f courses will be suggested as options for stu­ dents interested in a minor in engineering, stu­ dents may tailor their programs to meet indi­ vidual needs and interests in consultation with their adviser(s). Requirem ents fo r an H onors M ajor or M inor Students with a B+ average among courses in 155 Engineering the Division o f Natural Sciences and Engineer­ ing may apply to stand for Honors in engineer­ ing. T his B+ average must be maintained to remain in the Honors program. A listing of preparations supported by existing engineering courses is appended. Credits from approved attachments or special topics courses may sub­ stitute for not more than 1 credit within any preparation. Honors Minor Honors M ajor • Every engineering Honors minor preparation is to include two related upper-level engi­ neering electives for which all prerequisites must be satisfied. If the student is not also an engineering course major, th en Senior Honors Study is also required. Credits from official Attachments or Special Topics courses in engineering may substitute for not more than one o f the two upper-level courses within an engineering minor preparation. Honors majors must complete the same require­ ments as a course major in engineering. In addition: • T h e Honors major in engineering is a fourexam ination program, including three preparations in engineering (th e major) and one minor preparation. Each area comprises 2 credits o f work. • T h e m inor preparation must comprise at least 2 credits o f work in any department or program outside engineering, and be among those approved by that department or pro­ gram. • Each major candidate must accumulate 12 credits in engineering, including EN G R 09 0 , and the same number o f science and math credits as required o f course majors. A ll engineering graduates will therefore receive an ABET-accredited bachelor o f sci­ ence degree. • O ne o f the major preparations must include E N G R 09 0 , plus an appropriate related upper-level engineering elective or a 1-credit Honors thesis to be completed in the fall semester o f senior year. Honors thesis credit may not substitute for any o f the 12 engi­ neering credits required for the B .S.; candi­ dates electing an Honors thesis will, there­ fore, complete at least 13 credits in engi­ neering and 33 college wide. T h e two addi­ tional major preparations are each to com ­ prise two related upper-level engineering electives. A précis of not more than 12 pages (including tables and figures) o f each candi­ date’s E N G R 0 9 0 project must be submitted by the end o f the 10th week of the spring semester for mailing to the relevant Honors examiner. T h e final E N G R 09 0 report will not be mailed to any examiner but may be brought to the oral examinations. • Senior Honors Study by engineering majors is not required. 156 • Senior Honors Study is required for all engi­ neering Honors minors, except those that are also engineering course majors. For those no t majoring in engineering the Senior Honors Study is the culminating experi­ ence; course majors will not take Senior Honors Study because EN G R 09 0 serves as the culminating experience. • Prerequisites to upper-level engineering electives may be waived by the department, depending upon the student’s documenta­ tion o f equivalent work in another depart­ m ent at the time of application. • Formats o f exam ination will follow those appropriate for the engineering major. Honors exam ination o f engineering minors will consist of a three-hour written exam covering the engineering preparation, plus a subsequent oral exam ination o f each candi­ date by the author o f the written exam— either alone if need be to assure adequate evaluation of the engineering preparation or as an invited member o f an examining panel convened by the major department. More specific information about Course and Honors programs is distributed by the depart­ m ent to prospective engineering majors and minors in December o f each year. Additional information is also available on the engineer­ ing W eb site, http://www.engin.swarthmore.edu. Poland Foreign Study Program A program o f study is available at theTechnical University o f Krakow Poland for students who desire an engineering foreign study experience in a non-English-speaking country. Normally occurring in the spring o f the junior year, stu­ dents take courses taught in English consisting of two engineering electives and the survey course Environmental Science and Technology in Poland plus an intensive orientation course on Polish language and culture provided by the Jagiellonian University.

In addition, the Theatre Program offers both practical and theoretical courses in performance studies. ENGLISH LITERATURE REQUIREMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS A ny introductory course— EN G L 0 0 5 A through 005Z and 0 06A through 006Z— is the prerequisite for all other courses in literature. (Exempted from this prerequisite are seniors, juniors). Introductory courses attempt in a 165 English Literature variety o f ways to reflect the diversity o f inter­ ests— with respect to subject matter, theoreti­ cal approach, literary genre, historical period, and race and gender— characteristic o f the departm ental offerings as a whole. Intro­ ductory courses are characterized by syllabi with less reading than in advanced courses, by frequent short papers with some emphasis upon rewriting, by self-conscious exam ination of methodology, and by considerable attention to class discussion; they are viewed by the Department as particularly appropriate for freshmen; they are primary distribution cours­ es. Enrollments are limited to 25 students per course; priority is given to freshmen and sopho­ mores. Students will not normally take a sec­ ond introductory course. Only one such course may be counted towards the major. T h e m ini­ mum requirement for admission as a major or as a m inor in English is two semester-courses in the Department— normally an introductory course and an advanced literature course. (Students with A P scores o f 4-5 in English Literature and/or English Language receive credit toward graduation. Only the credit for English Literature may count toward the major requirements. A P credit does not satisfy the prerequisite for upper-level courses. Scores o f 6 or 7 on the International Baccalaureate are treated in the same way.) Students considering a major in English are strongly urged to take one or two additional English courses during the sophomore year. Majors and prospective majors should consult a member o f the English Department for infor­ mation about courses in other departments complementary to their work in English; work in foreign languages is especially recom ­ mended. Students who plan to do graduate work, to fol­ low a course of professional training, or to seek teacher certification in English, should see a member o f the Department for early help in planning their programs, as should students who plan to include work in English literature in a special or cross-disciplinary major or in a program w ith a concen tration. W e offer English certification through a program approved by the state o f Pennsylvania. Because of a change in teacher certification regulations that occurred in November 2000, students completing certification during 2001 to 2003 will need to fulfill somewhat different course 166 requirements from those who complete certifi­ cation in 2004 and beyond. For further infor­ mation about the relevant set o f requirements, please contact the Education program director, the English Departm ent C h air or the Education Program W eb site: www.swarthmore.edu/SocSci/Education/. Students wishing to study abroad should con­ sult with the Departmental C hair far enough in advance o f such study to effect proper plan­ ning o f a major or minor. In determining which courses o f study abroad will meet Department criteria for requirements or to receive credit toward a major or minor, the Department will rely both on its experience in evaluating the work of students returning from these programs and on careful exam ination o f course descrip­ tions, syllabi, and schedules. Students may undertake preparations for papers in the Honors Program while studying abroad, but should consult carefully in advance with the appropriate Department faculty. For further details concerning Department policies for study abroad, consult the Department state­ m ent filed with the Office o f Foreign Studies. Major in the C ourse Program : T h e work of a major in Course consists of a minimum of eight units of credit in the Department including at least three units in literature written before 1830 (such courses are marked with a * ) , and three in literature written after 1830. Students should also read some critical theory, but such theory is now an important elem ent in most of our courses. Courses marked with a * * * may be counted as pre-1830 or post-1830 but riot both.

M ajor in the H onors Program : Majors in English who seek a degree with Honors will in the spring o f their sophomore year propose for external exam ination a program consisting of four fields: three in English and one in a minor. Tire three preparations in the major (consti­ tuting six units o f credit) will be constituted as follows: A ll three preparations will normally be done through seminars (if approved by the Department, one preparation may be a thesis or creative writing project); the program must include at least one Group I and one Group II seminar. Honors majors, as part o f their overall work in the Department, must meet the gener­ al major requirement of three units o f credit in literature written before 1830 and three units of credit in literature written after 1830. T h e departmental requirements for Honors, includ­ ing instructions about Senior Honors Study, are spelled out in detail in a departmental handout. offered by departments other than English Literature. Admission into the program will depend upon the quality of the student’s writ­ ten work and the availability o f faculty to supervise the work. Students who are inter­ ested in the program are urged to talk both with the Department Chair and with one of the Department faculty who regularly teach the workshops. Students who wish to write a thesis or pursue a creative writing project under faculty supervi­ sion as part of their Honors Program must sub­ mit proposals to the Department; the number of these ventures the Department can sponsor each year is limited. Students who propose cre­ ative writing projects will normally be expect­ ed to have completed at least one writing workshop as part of, or as a prelude to, the pro­ ject; the field presented for examination will thus normally consist o f a 1-credit workshop plus a 1-credit Directed Creative W riting Project. For further information, including deadlines for Directed Creative W riting pro­ posals, see rubric under EN G L 070K. T h e English Department courses are grouped together by historical period, genre, or course level as follows: Minor in the H onors Program : Minors must do a single, 2-credit preparation in the Department by means o f a seminar (or, under special cir­ cumstances, a creative writing project). Minors are required to do a total of at least five units of work in English (including their Honors prepa­ ration). Students interested in pursuing Honors within a faculty-approved interdisciplinary major, pro­ gram, or concentration that draws on advanced English courses or seminars should see the Chair for early help in planning their pro­ grams. Creative W riting Em phasis: Students who want to major in English with an emphasis in cre­ ative writing— whether Course or Honors majors— must complete three units of creative writing in addition to the usual departmental requirements of pre-1830 and post-1830 units.

Directed Creative Writing Projects Students— w hether Course or Honors majors— who plan a directed writing project in fictio n or poetry must consult w ith the Department Chair and with a member of the Department’s writing faculty who might super­ vise the project, and must submit a prospectus to the Department by way o f application for such work before the beginning of the semester during which the project is actually done. T h e number o f these ventures the Department can sponsor each year is limited. Deadlines for the written applications for the Directed Creative 176 W riting Projects are the Mondays immediately following the fall and spring breaks. Normally limited to juniors and seniors who Have taken an earlier workshop in the Department. For creative writing projects in the Honors Program, the 2-credit field will normally be defined as a 1-credit workshop (EN G L 070A , 070B , or 070C ) paired with a 1-credit Directed Creative W riting Project (EN G L 070K ). The approximate range o f pages to be seht forward to the examiners will be 20 to 3 0 pages o f poet­ ry, or 30 to 50 pages o f fiction. There will be no written exam for the creative writing project; the student’s portfolio will be sent directly to the examiner, who will then give the student an oral exam during Honors week. For purpos­ es o f the transcript, the creative writing project will be assigned a grade corresponding to the degree o f Honors awarded it by the external examiner. Students are advised that such inde­ pendent writing projects must normally be sub­ stantially completed by the end o f the fall semester o f the senior year as the spring semes­ ter is usually the time when the Senior Honors Study essay must be written. 2 credits.

THEATRE STUDIES T h e Theatre Studies major uses the study of all aspects of dramatic art as the center o f a liber­ al arts education. It is intended to be o f broad benefit regardless o f a student’s . professional intentions. A ll courses in the program address the processes o f play production, especially as they involve collaborative making; all produc­ tion for performance in the program is part of course work. Theatre Studies emphasizes writing as an important aspect of discursive thinking and communication. A ll courses have a significant writing component, the nature o f which varies from course to course. Because, in practice, public performance engages theatre artists for less time and is less complicated than rehearsal and other prepara­ tions, it receives proportionally less attention in this curriculum. Because all work in theatre eventually issues in a public occasion, classes are usually open to visitors. REQUIREMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Planning a program in Theatre Studies can be complicated. First- and second-year students thinking about a Theatre Studies major should read these requirements and recommendations closely and should consult with the director of Theatre Studies early and often. Leave sched­ ules, a wide variety o f intern and apprentice programs, and the im portance o f course sequences make long-range planning essential. The requirements for the Theatre Studies Program will be significantly revised beginning with the Class of 2005. Students from the Class of 2005 are welcome to contact Professor Kuharski regarding the revised requirements, as well as to consult the postings on the Theatre Studies bulletin boards across from 308 Lang Performing Arts Center. N B: T he requirements below still àpply to all classes through 2004. THEA 001 (Theatre & Performance) is a pre­ requisite for all intermediate and advanced classes and seminars. Courses numbered 001 through 010 are intro­ ductory and are prerequisite to intermediate courses. Courses numbered 011 through 049 are inter­ mediate and are prerequisite to advanced courses numbered 050 through 099. Seminars carry numbers 100 and above. Intermediate work in each o f the course sequences requires a begirining course in that area. Some advanced courses carry additional pre­ requisites that are listed ill the course descrip­ tions. For those majors who intend a career in profes­ sional theatre, whether academic, not-for-prof­ it, or commercial, internships in professional theatres are strongly recommended. Because of scheduling difficulties, students should plan and apply for internships, time spent off cam­ pus, and community projects as far in advance as possible. T h e Pig Iron Theatre Company and other guest artists are typically in residence on cam­ pus during the summer. Positions are usually available in production, development, public relations, marketing, box office, and house or stage management. Positions are usually not available in acting, directing, or design. M ajor in the C ourse Program : Eleven credits of work including T H E A 001 (T h eatre & Performance), T H E A 002 (A cting I), TH E A 0 04A (S e t Design) or T H E A 004C (Costume D esign), T H E A 0 0 4 B (Lighting Design), T H E A 015 (Performance Theory & Practice), T H E A 016 (Playwrights’ Lab), T H E A 106 (Th eatre History Sem inar) or T H E A 121 (Production Dramaturgy Seminar) and T H E A 09 9 (Senior Company). In addition, each major will choose an area of specialization and take the intermediate and advanced courses in that area. T h e areas o f specialization are A cting, Directing, Scenography, Playwriting/Dramaturgy, and Theatre History. Special arrange­ ments will be made for students who seek sec­ ondary school certification. Prospective majors should consult with the program director about their choice. In addition to these course requirements, the major includes a comprehensive examination in two parts: (1) an essay relating the student’s experience in Senior Company, and (2) an oral exam ination on the essay and related subjects by Theatre faculty and visitors. Minor in the C ourse Program : Seven credits of work including T H E A 001 (T h eatre & Performance), T H E A 002 (A cting I), TH E A 004B (Lighting Design), T H E A 015 (Per­ formance Theory & Practice), and T H E A 016 (Playwrights’ Lab). In addition, each minor will choose an area o f specialization and take the intermediate and advanced courses in that area. Senior Company (TH EA 099) is an elec­ tive course for Course Minors in Theatre Studies who have completed their course work 183 Theatre Studies in the Program by the end o f the junior year. Major in H onors: Honors students majoring in Theatre Studies will make three preparations as follows: 1. Theatre History Seminar, written examina­ tion, and an oral set by an outside examiner. 2. T H E A 121 or a thesis attachm ent to a course to be read by an outside examiner along with an oral. 3. A production project in one o f the following fields: D irecting from a script. T h e student will, under faculty supervision, read in the playwright’s work, make a director’s preparation for the entire play, and rehearse for public presenta­ tion a locally castable portion o f the chosen play. T h e Program will hire one or more pro­ fessional actors for a set number of rehearsal hours in connection with the project. T h e instructor will supervise these activities appro­ priately, on the model of a special project in Theatre. T h e external examiner will visit this project several times (depending on schedule and available funds). These visits (to rehearsal or planning session) will no t include feedback from the examiner. T h e examiner attends rehearsal to know as much as possible about the student’s methods o f making the work. T h e examiner also attends one or more o f the pub­ lic performances. T h e exam ination proper will consist o f an extended interview directly fol­ lowing the performance and a briefer oral dur­ ing Honors weekend. T h e subject o f the first interview will be the student’s processes as he or she relates to the production. T h e second oral will concern the student’s assessment of the entire process as a part o f his or her under­ graduate education and future plans. T h e stu­ dent will support both interviews with an extensive production journal. Design from a script. T h e student will prepare all research, sketches, and preliminary writing for a production in a designated venue. H e or she will make renderings, working drawings, and a model and will prepare detailed budgets, schedules, and so on. In addition to the model, the student will supervise the construction of a buildable portion o f the design. T h e local instructor will supervise these activities appro­ priately, on the model o f a special project in Theatre. T h e external examiner will receive copies o f all materials as the student generates 184 them and will pay special attention to the way in which the project develops under continual revision. During the Honors weekend, the examiner will see the full-sized portion and the model. T h e examination proper will be an extensive presentation by the student, o f the en tire project, w ith special atten tio n to processes o f development and revision. During this presentation, the examiner (probably a professional designer, not necessarily an acade­ m ic) will question the student, on the model of advanced classes in architecture. D ram aturgy. T his project will be associated w ith Dramaturgy Sem inar, D irecting, or Playwrights’ Lab. T h e student will create a body of writing appropriate to the specific pro­ ject. This will include (but is no t limited to) notes on production history, given circum­ stances, script analysis, program and press kit notes, study guide, and a grant proposal. For a community, education, or other project, the student, in consultation with an instructor, will create and fulfill a protocol suited to the work. O n a production project, the student will con­ tinue work in rehearsal. T h e external examin­ er will receive all materials as they are generat­ ed. If the work is rehearsed, the examiner will attend as many rehearsals as possible. If the work is performed, or the project presented in some other way, the examiner will attend. The exam ination proper, given during the Honors weekend, will consist o f an extended oral pre­ sentation similar to a design presentation. Acting. T his student, with the advice of an advisor, will select and prepare a role from an appropriate script. T h e program will hire one or more professional actors for a set number of rehearsal hours, which the student wilt supple­ m ent with practice and other acting “home­ work.” T h e advisor will assist in this work on a regular basis. T h e external exam iner will attend as many rehearsal sessions as possible to observe the student’s process. T h e student will keep a journal (an expanded version o f the pri­ vate “book” actors keep) to support discussion with the examiner in an extended interview immediately following an in-house presenta­ tion o f the work. During the Honors weekend, the examiner will conduct a second-oral exam­ ination focusing on the student’s reconsidera­ tion o f the work after some time has passed. O ne o f these combinations will constitute the normal Honors major in Theatre Studies. j ■ I I I II ■ Honors students will take Senior Company in the fall of senior year, while they are planning their production project. T h e usual schedule will be spring o f junior year, Theatre History Seminar; fall of senior year, T H E A 099 and project planning; and spring of senior year, thesis and production project. I Double majors taking three examinations in Theatre will also follow that schedule. I For double majors taking one examination and comps in Theatre, the exam ination may be a I production project, depending on available I resources. Minor in H onors. Theatre Studies minors are required to take a minimum o f 7 credits, conT sisting of T H E A 001 (Th eatre & Perfor­ mance), T H E A 0 02 (A cting I), T H E A 004B (Lighting Design), T H E A 015 (Performance Theory & Practice), T H E A 016 (Playwrights’ Lab), and either T H E A 106 (Theatre History Seminar) or T H E A 121 (Production DramaI turgy Seminar). Honors minors that have comI pleted these minimum requirements and comI pleted a sequence in acting, design, directing, I or playwriting/dramaturgy by the end o f the I junior year may petition to enroll in T H E A I 099 (Senior Company). I I Co-curricular and extracurricular work in Theatre, although not specifically required, is I strongly recommended for majors. I Opportunities include paid and volunteer staff I positions with the Theatre, in-house projects I for various classes, production work in T h e [ Eugene M. and Theresa Lang Performing Arts I Center, and Drama Board production. I With respect to the 20-course rule, courses in I dramatic literature taught in the English I Literature, Classics, or M odem Languages and I Literatures Departments may be designated as I part of the major. Courses in nondramatic lit■ eratures taught in those departments will not I be considered part of the major. SEMESTER A B R O A D IN POLAND. T he Programs in Theatre Studies and Dance have jointly developed a new semester-abroad program for interested Swarthmore students based at the Silesian Dance Theatre (Slaski Teatr Tanca) in Bytom in conjunction with the I Jagiellonian University o f Cracow and other I institutions in the vacinity. T h e program is I intended to provide participating students with I a combination o f foreign study with the expe­ I I I I rience of working in various capacities (dance performance, arts administration, scenography, etc.) within the environment of a professional dance theatre company for credit. Participating students would be housed in Bytom, and have the option of taking addi­ tional courses in Cracow. Intensive study of Polish while in the country will be required of all participating students. Students participat­ ing will be able to enroll for the equivalent of a full semester’s credit (4 to 5 credits). Participation in the A nnual International Dance Conference and Performance Festival hosted by Silesian Dance Theatre in June and July is highly recommended for certain types of credit. Beyond credits in Theatre Studies and Dance, and intensive Polish, a menu of possi­ ble tutorials is being developed in Polish liter­ ature and history, Environm ental Studies, Film, Religion, Jewish and Holocaust Studies, and other fields. Interested students should contact Professor A llen Kuharski, director of Theatre Studies, as early as possible for advis­ ing purposes and updated information on the status of the program. See course listings in both the Theatre Studies Program and the Music and Dance Department for types of aca­ demic credit being offered. Theatre Studies majors and minors can also enroll in a semester o f theatre-related study conducted in English at the Jagiellonian U niversity in Cracow. Students in Com parative Literature and M odem Languages and Literatures are also welcome to co n tact Professor Kuharski about possible related programs o f study at the Jagiellonian University. Intensive study of Polish is required of all participating students. Funding support (including travel) is available for intensive language study in Poland during the summer before the student's planned semester abroad. Interested students should contact Professor Kuharski for details. Jacek Luminski, the founder and artistic direc­ tor o f Silesian Dance Theatre, will be the Lang Visiting Professor for Social Change in Theatre Studies and Dance in the fall semester of 2001. A separate but parallel semester-abroad option in Cracow, Poland, is being offered through the Engineering and Environm ental Studies Departments. Interested students should con­ tact Professor A rthur M cG arity in the Engineering Department for details. 185 Theatre Studies INTRODUCTORY COURSES THEA 001.

Profound, anthropogenic changes are occur­ ring in the land, water, and air around us, and education needs to respond to these changes. Swarthmore’s heritage o f social concern com­ pels us to educate students so that they are well informed about vital, current issues, and capa­ ble of full political participation.' T h e College has a responsibility to provide means for the study of environm ental problems and to encourage students to develop their own per­ spectives on these problems. T h e Environ­ mental Studies concentration is one way that the College meets these responsibilities. Concentrators must take five courses from the list below, including at least one course in Environmental Science/Technology, at least one course in Environmental Social Science/ Humanities, and at least one more from either o f these two groups for a minimum o f three courses in these two categories. Up to two courses may be chosen from the list of adjunct courses. Students should regularly check the program’s W eb site for additions and changes to course lists. Students may petition the Faculty Comm ittee on Environmental Studies to have courses taken at other institutions ful­ fill some of these requirements. A t least three of the five courses must be outside the major. (T h e interdisciplinary minor will require four courses outside the major for the Class of 2004 and optionally for 2003.) O ne o f the courses may be independent work or a field study (in the U .S. or abroad) supervised by a member of the Comm ittee (EN V S 0 90). In addition to the five courses, each concentrator will partic­ ipate in th e capstone sem inar in Environmental Studies (EN V S 091) during the spring semester o f the senior year. T h e cap­ stone seminar will involve advanced interdisci­ plinary work on one or more issues or problems in environmental studies. Leadership o f the capstone seminar rotates among the members o f the Faculty Comm ittee on Environmental Studies. Environmental Studies is truly interdiscipli­ nary and offers numerous opportunities for rig­ orous interdisciplinary work because environ­ mental issues have scientific, engineering, social, political, economic, literary, and philo­ sophical dimensions, all o f which must be addressed. T h e concentration helps guide stu­ dents to the many academic fields that afford a perspective on environmental problems and enables them to explore questions most com­ pelling to them from the vantage point o f var­ ious disciplines in the natural and social sci­ ences, engineering, and the humanities. A concentration in Environmental Studies consists of an integrated program o f five cours­ es plus a capstone seminar that a student takes in addition to a regular major. 191 Environmental Studies COURSES IN ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE/TECHNOLOGY EN G R 004C/POLS 043.

Moving images have been one o f the most dis­ tinctive innovations and experiences of the past century. In today’s media-dependent cul­ ture, developing a critical understanding and a historical knowledge of media forms is vital. Film and Media Studies provides an interdisci­ plinary understanding o f the history, theory, language, and social and cultural aspects of film, with some emphasis on other movingimage genres such as video, television, and computer-based media; introduces research and analytical methods; and encourages crosscultural comparison of media forms, histories, institutional contexts, and audiences. Film and Media Studies incorporates courses from visual ethnography, psychology, and literary and cul­ tural studies and offers core courses in the field, providing some opportunity for training in pro­ duction to enhance critical studies. REQUIREMENTS FOR THE MINOR Students may add a minor in Film and Media Studies to any major, and students in the Honors program may pursue an Honors minor in Film and Media Studies, by meeting the requirements set forth below. Students inter­ ested in pursuing a Special M ajor in Film and Media Studies should consult the guidelines below and consult with the coordinator. A ll students interested in incorporating Film and Media Studies into their programs must submit a proposal as part o f their sophomore paper or apply by submitting a modified plan o f study in the junior year or early in the senior year. This proposal should be developed in consultation with advisors from the Film and Media Studies Comm ittee and is subject to approval. 194 A ll students must take a minimum o f 5 credits credits, which may be selected from the cours­ es and seminars listed below or from those taken abroad, at Bryn Mawr, Haverford, or University o f Pennsylvania, when the work is approved by the committee. T h e five 5 credits should include: Film and Media Studies FM ST 001: Introduction to Film and Media Studies, normally taken in the first or second year; and F M S T 092: Film Theory and Culture, normal­ ly taken in the senior year. Additional courses in aesthetics, film/media history, national cine­ mas, production, visual ethnography, and cul­ tural studies should be selected with a broad program in mind. Students in the Class o f 2003 may choose to graduate with either the con­ centration or the minor in Film and Media Studies; the requirements are identical. HONORS MINOR Students in the Honors program may minor in Film and Media Studies by m eeting the requirements set forth above and by preparing for and taking one external exam. T h e prepa­ ration usually consists o f F M ST 092: Film Theory and Culture plus the 1-credit Honors attachm ent 092A but may incorporate a 1- or 2-credit thesis or other course combination or seminar work with the approval o f the Film and Media Studies coordinator. A t least 2 cred­ its o f the work in the Honors minor must be in a department or field outside the student’s Honors major. Senior Honors Study (SH S) may consist of a revised essay submitted for a course or seminar in the preparation or may follow the SHS procedures for the seminar in question. There is no S H S for a thesis. SPECIAL MAJOR Special course or Honors majors in Film and Media Studies must be approved by the Film and Media Studies Comm ittee and by the departments from which the applicant intends to draw 2 or more credits for the program.

The concentration (Class of ’02 or ’03) or the minor (Class o f ’03 or ’04 and thereafter) in Francophone Studies explores areas and peo­ ples significantly influenced by and participant in Francophone cultures throughout the world: Africa, the Americas, Europe, and Southeast Asia. It takes a broad view of cultural achieve­ ments and thus will examine cultural diversity and identity at all community levels. Through the use of analytical methods drawn from both the humanities and the social sciences, the con­ centration encourages interdisciplinarity in courses, seminars, and student programs of study. Within a cultural studies approach, various perspectives will be used to establish new criti­ cal and theoretical paradigms to understand better the complex relations and reciprocal in­ fluences between “centers” and “peripheries.” the Department of Modem Languages, students will have the opportunity of using French-lan­ guage materials in many o f the courses and seminars offered by other departments. Through the study o f an important transna­ tional culture, the concentration/minor will prepare students for graduate education and careers in international relations, business, law, and academic disciplines and enable them to participate better in our increasingly globalized world. Besides the study of Francophone lan­ guage, literature, and culture courses offered in GENERAL REQUIREMENTS A concentration/minor in Francophone Studies consists o f 5 credits from courses designated below. Students should note that m ost courses have prerequisites, w hich m ust be satisfied before courses m ay be taken . N o more than 2 credits may be from the student’s major department, and at least 2 credits must come from courses marked #. Only 1 credit taken abroad may count toward the concentration. A t least 3 credits must come from core courses and semi­ nars, whereas only 2 credits may come from cognate courses or seminars. Students are ex­ pected to work in at least two departments. To ensure a strong groundwork for all concentrators/minors, one o f the credits must be a core course; we particularly recommend FREN 025 and H IS T 022, but any o f the core courses or seminars can function as an introductory 197 Francophone Studies course. In addition to the 5 credits, each con­ centrator will complete a 15- to 20-page inde­ pendent, interdisciplinary senior paper. T he initial proposal and bibliography, which are due immediately after the Thanksgiving break, must be approved by two professors in two dif­ ferent departments. T h e completed paper is due at the end o f spring break. Students are required to be proficient in the French language: to complete FREN 004 or the equivalent. They are strongly encouraged to study abroad'in a French-speaking country. In addition, they must either take an advanced literature or culture course in French or use French-language sources in the senior paper. In any case, students are encouraged to read French-language materials in the original lan­ guage whenever possible. NEW MINOR IN COURSE T h e new Francophone minor in course is the same as the concentration as previously defined. Courses and seminars that may be offered for a Francophone Studies concentration/minor are the following (# indicates courses that cover Francophone material outside o f France and/or multicultural material): C O R E C O U R S E S A N D S E M IN A R S (75 percent to 100 percent Francophone con­ tent): A t least 3 credits required.

The concentration in German Studies grows out of the co n n ectio n betw een G erm an thought and art o f the nineteenth and twenti­ eth centuries. Figures such as G oethe, Wagner, Nietzsche, Marx, and Freud, for example, go beyond the boundaries o f particular disciplines. In addition, the study o f German history and politics enriches and is enriched by the study of German literature and art. A combination of approaches to Germ an culture introduces the student to a field o f knowledge crucial to con­ temporary society and prepares the student for graduate work in a good number o f academic disciplines as well as for various international careers. T h e concentration may be undertaken in the course program or in the Honors pro­ gram. Concentrators should consult the pro­ gram coordinator during the sophomore year to plan their work toward the concentration. It is required that students do substantial work in the German language (G ER M 004 or the equivalent). It is also strongly recommended that students study in Germany (for a summer or, preferably, for a semester) if at all possible. A fter studying abroad, concentrators must take at least one additional class in German Studies. Students who do not take an advanced litera­ ture course must either use original German sources in the thesis or add an attachm ent in German to one course in the concentration. G eneral Requirem ents Students are required to take 5 credits from designated courses in Germ an Studies, 3 of which must be outside the student’s major department. To ensure a common groundwork for all concentrators, students must take the core course, G E R M 0 1 4 : Introduction to German Studies. To ensure work in depth, at least 1 credit must be a thesis on an interdisci­ plinary topic, normally to be proposed at the end of the junior year and written in the fall semester of the senior year. A n interdiscipli­ nary thesis for the student’s major department may fulfill this requirement. N ote: A student can accomplish a special major in German Studies by taking 5 addition­ al credits from the courses listed below. G erm an Studies C ourse Minor R equ irem en ts: T h e requirem ents for the German Studies course minor are identical to the general requirements (5 credits, including the core course G ER M 0 1 4 ) except th at students need not write an interdisciplinary thesis. G erm an Studies Minor in the H onors Program Requirem ents: T h e German Studies concentra­ tion offers only a minor in the Honors pro­ gram. Students in the German Studies Honors program are expected to be sufficiently profi­ cient in spoken and written German to com­ plete all their work in German and are strongly advised to spend at least one semester o f study in a German-speaking country. Candidates are expected to have a B average in course work both in the department and at the College. 201 German Studies Prerequisites: G ER M 0 14 and an advanced course in Germ an Studies.

COURSE OFFERINGS AND PREREQUISITES The courses and seminars offered by the History Department attempt to give students a sense of the past; an acquaintance with the social, cultural, and institutional developments that have produced the world of today; and an understanding of the nature o f history as a dis­ cipline. T h e discipline of history is a method of analysis that focuses on the contexts in which people have lived and worked. Our courses and seminars emphasize less the accumulation of data than the investigation, from various points of view, o f those ideas and institutions— political, religious, social, economic, and cul­ tural— by which people have endeavored to order their world. T h e History Department’s curriculum introduces students to historical methodology and the fundamentals of histori­ cal research and writing. The study of history prepares students for a wide range of occupations and professions because it develops their analytical, writing, and research skills. Former Swarthmore history majors can be found in all sectors of the economy, ranging from W all Street to the world of medicine, from elementary and high schools to trade unions and public interest foundations and institutes, from journalism and publishing to consulting, and from the private to the public 5 Fall 2001 (appointment that semester only). 6 Spring 2002 (appointment that semester only). sector. In particular, many o f our former majors claim th at studying history was excellen t preparation for law school and enabled them to succeed as attorneys. Courses and seminars offered by the History Department are integral to most interdiscipli­ nary programs, such as B lack Studies, Francophone Studies, German Studies, Latin A m erican Studies, Peace Studies, and W om en’s Studies as well as to the majors in Asian Studies and Medieval Studies. Students interested in these programs should consult the appropriate statements of requirements and course offerings. In addition, we encourage stu­ dents who wish to obtain teaching certification to major in history (see section on Teaching Certification for more information). Survey C ou rses: Survey courses (002-011) are open to all students without prerequisites and are designed to serve the needs o f students who seek a general education in the field as well as to provide preparation for a range o f upperlevel courses. Survey courses provide broad chronological coverage of a particular field of history. Although these entry-level courses vary somewhat in approach, they normally focus on major issues o f interpretation, the analysis of primary sources, and historical methodology. First-year seminars (H IS T 203 History 001A -001Z ) explore specific historical issues or periods in depth in a seminar setting; they are open to first-year students and are limited to 12 students. Students who are not admitted to first-year seminars in the fall will receive pri­ ority for seminars in the spring. Students with scores o f 4 or 5 in Advanced Placement exam­ inations (or scores o f 6 or 7 in International Baccalaureate [IB] examinations) may receive preference in admission to certain first-year seminars. Upper-division courses (H IS T 012099; 1 credit) are specifically them atic and top­ ical in nature and do not attempt to provide the broad coverage that surveys do. T hey are generally open to students who have fulfilled one o f the following: (1 ) taken o n e o f the courses numbered 001-011; (2) received an Advanced Placement score o f 3 in the same area as the course they wish to take; (3) received an Advanced Placement score o f 4 or 5 in any area; (4 ) received the permission of the instructor; or (5 ) taken Classics courses 031, 03 2 , 042, 044, or 056. Exceptions are courses designated “no t open to first-year students” or where specific prerequisites are stated. Sem inars: Admission to double-credit history seminars is selective and based on an evalua­ tion o f the student’s potential to do indepen­ dent work and to contribute to seminar discus­ sions. A minimum grade o f B in at least two history courses is required o f all students enter­ ing seminars. In addition, the opinions of department members who have taught the stu­ dent are solicited. Sophomores hoping to take history seminars in their junior and senior years should give special thought to the seminars that they list in their sophomore papers. T h e department will weigh the merit o f each request on the basis o f the importance o f the seminar to the student’s pro­ posed program as well as the student’s qualifi­ cations. Sem inar enrollments are normally limited to nine. If you are placed in a seminar at the end o f your sophomore year, you will be one o f nine students guaranteed a space and you are, in effect, taking the space o f another student who might also like to be in the semi­ nar. Consequently, you should no t list any sem­ inar in your sophomore paper without being quite certain that you intend to take it if you are admitted. 204 REQUIREMENTS FOR HISTORY MAJORS Admission to the department as a major nor­ mally requires at least two history courses taken at Swarthmore and a satisfactory stan­ dard of work in all courses. Beginning with the Class o f 2002, one o f these two courses will normally be a first-year seminar. H ow ever, stu­ dents w ho do n ot take a first-year sem inar can still m ajor in history. Courses in Greek and Roman history offered by the Classics Department count toward this prerequisite. Students who intend to continue the study o f history after graduation should bear in mind that a reading knowledge o f one or two foreign languages is now generally assumed for admission to gradu­ ate school. A ll majors (course and Honors programs) in history must take at least 9 credits in the department, chosen to fulfill the following requirements: 1. A t least 6 o f the 9 credits are normally done at Swarthmore. 2. A t least one course or seminar at Swarth­ more from each o f the following categories: (a) all courses and seminars before 1750 (including C L A S 031, 032, 042, 044, and 0 5 6 ) and (b) all courses and seminars in areas outside Europe and the U nited States, specifically Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the N ear East. T h is distribution requirement is designed to have students explore various fields o f history and engage in comparative historical analysis. A list of these distribution courses is on file in the department office. T h e department expects students to concentrate in topics or areas of special interest to them and to specify them in their sophomore papers. C ourse M ajor Complete the Senior Research Seminar (H IST 091) in which students write a research paper based on primary and secondary sources. The department strongly believes th at majors should develop their expertise in a chosen field o f history by producing a piece o f historical writing and analysis. T his course satisfies the College’s requirement that all majors and con­ centrations have a culminating exercise for their majors. T he research paper should build upon a cluster o f courses that the student has defin ed. T he departm ent encourages students to suggest possible research topics in their sophom ore papers and requires them to select topics by the end o f their junior year. Possible research themes include but are not limited to colonialism and imperialism, nations and nationalism, popular culture, urbanization, politics and diplomacy, revolution and rebellion, and economic history. Seminar instructors will not normally assign grades during the course o f the seminar, but they will meet periodically with students on an individual basis during the course o f the semes­ ter and discuss their progress.

In addition, the department expects students to form their own study groups to prepare for the external examinations. Although faculty members may, at their convenience, attend an occasional study session, students are generally expected to form and lead the study groups. O n ce again, this is in keeping with the depart­ m ent’s belief that Honors is a collaborative, self-learning exercise that relies on the com ­ m itm ent o f students. Students enrolled as minors in history will sub­ m it one revised paper as part o f their portfolio. It is due by May3. T h e instructions for the preparation o f portfolio papers are the same for minors as they are for majors. T h e department also encourages minors in Honors to form selfdirected study groups. T h e department will assume that students failing to submit their revised papers by the deadline have decided not to complete the Honors program. FOREIGN STUDY T h e History Department encourages students to pursue the study o f history abroad and grants credit for such study as appropriate. W e believe that history majors should master a foreign language as well as immerse themselves in a foreign culture and society. To receive Swarthmore credit for history courses taken during study abroad, or at other colleges and universities in the U nited States, a student must have departmental pre-approval and have taken at least one history course at Swarth­ more (normally before going abroad). T he department is unable to offer credit for courses taken abroad or elsewhere in the U nited States in which no department member has expertise. Beginning with the Class o f 2002, students who want to receive credit for a second course taken abroad or elsewhere in the United States must take a second history course at Swarthmore. Students must receive a grade of C or higher to receive History credit at Swarthmore. 206 ADVANCED PLACEMENT/ INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE T h e History Department will automatically grant 1 credit for incoming students who have achieved a score o f 4 or 5 in either the U .S . or European History Advanced Placement exam­ inations if they take any course numbered 001 through O il. Beginning with the Class of 2 002, students who want credit for two Advanced Placement history examinations for which they scored a 4 or 5 must take a second history course at Swarthmore. This course need not be a survey course. Moreover, a grade of C or higher must be earned in the Swarthmore course(s) for the credit(s) to be granted. Advanced Placement credit may be counted toward the number o f courses required for grad­ uation and may be used to help fulfill the College’s distribution requirements. Students with Advanced Placement credit may elect to take H IS T 003 or 005A , 005B , or 00 5 C (but not more than one o f these U .S. history survey courses). A grade o f 3 allows students to taken an upper-division course in the same area as the Advanced Placement credit; a grade o f 4 or 5 allows students to take any upper-division course in the History Department. T h e History Department will also grant 1 cred­ it for incoming students who have achieved a score of 6 or 7 in the IB examinations if they take any course numbered 001 through 010. Moreover, a grade o f C or higher must be earned in the Swarthmore course for the cred­ it to be granted. IB credit may be counted toward the number o f courses required for grad­ uation and may be used to help fulfill the College’s distribution requirements. Students with IB credit may elect to take H IS T 003 or 005A , 0 0 5 B, or 005C (but not more than one o f these U .S. history survey courses). LANGUAGE ATTACHMENT Certain designated courses offer the option o f a foreign language attachm ent, normally for 0.5 credit. Permission to take this option will be granted to any student whose reading ability promises the profitable use of historical sources in a foreign language. Arrangements for this option should be made with the instructor at the time o f registration. TEACHER CERTIFICATION 1 credit. N ot offered 2001-2002. Judson.

HIST 001Y. First-Year Seminar: The History of the Future It is the year 2001, but there is no moonbase, no cryogenics, no intelligent computer, no manned mission to Jupiter. T h e future has arrived, but it is not what it used to be. In this seminar, we will trace the cultural and intellec­ tual history o f the future, how past societies imagined their own evolution over time and how representing the future eventually became a major feature o f Western modernity. W e will deal with four major questions. W hen and where did imagining the future become impor­ tant and why? W hat does a past society’s ideas about their future tell us about that society? Has envisioning a particular future actually helped to bring that future about? Finally, does trying to imagine the future still serve any pro­ ductive end, and are we coming to the end of the future? Topics covered include cross-cultur­ al ideas about time and progress, Christian millennialism, Enlightenm ent and Victorian ideas about progress and change, early twentiethcentury utopian communities, pre-1945 mod­ ernism and dystopias, postwar modernization theory and technological utopianism, and postmodern visions of the future. 1 credit.

HIST 073. Mao’s Cultural Revolution T h e “G reat Proletarian Cultural Revolution” (official dates: 1966-76) can be seen as the cul­ mination o f Maoist idealism, with faith in Chairman Mao Zedong and in human capacity for self-improvement reaching the level o f reli­ gious mania. A t the same time, the Cultural Revolution developed the most vicious and dishonest aspects of the Maoist regime to their logical extreme. T h e revolution turned on and devoured its own true believers, the best people it had— and the lies that justified such vio­ lence became too absurd to be believed by any­ one for long. As a result, the Chinese Com ­ munist party today must reckon with an almost complete lack of faith in socialism on the part o f the people whose support it seeks. To try to make sense of this paradoxical period of recent Chinese history, students will read a variety o f memoirs, propaganda literature, and scholarly analyses. T he course will emphasize the historical background and human experi­ ence o f the Cultural Revolution rather than the details o f elite power struggle. T h e prerequisite for this course is a prior course in either history (of any type) or Asian Studies, or permission o f the instructor. This course may count toward a major or minor in Asian Studies. HIST 068. Primary Text Workshop 1 credit. This is a course in applied history. Working with materials in M cCabe library and in close cooperation with the M cCabe staff, students will create a join t project intended to be of some practical use to a wider community.

In fall 2002, we will be creating an annotated hypertext version o f an important document from colonial African history, Frederick Lugard’s T he D ual Mandate in British T ropical A frica, with the intent o f mak­ ing the resulting document available for online use by the public. In 2002-2003, we will be working on assembling the materials for a three-dimensional interactive simulation of eighteenth-century Philadelphia.

Some have seen in China “a state stronger than society,” whereas others have found signs of an emerg­ ing “civil society.” Using the latest historical scholarship, this seminar will explore the last emperors, the bureaucracy and examination system, law and family, local elites, cities and merchants, popular religion and rebellions, political reform and revolution, and other top­ ics spanning three periods: the mid-Qing (1750-1850), late Qing and Republic (18501950), and the People’s Republic o f China (1950-2000).

Since 1992, the concentration in Interpreta­ tion Theory has been providing students and faculty with an interdisciplinary forum for exploring the nature and politics o f representa­ tion. W hether it be through art, biology, cine­ ma, ethnography, literature, historiography, philosophy, politics, psychology, religion, or sociology, work done in the concentration reflects a long-standing drive to understand the world through the constructs o f its interpretive propositions. program by fulfilling the requirements stated subsequently. Students should submit their proposed program to the coordinator of the concentration. Propositions about persons, texts, works of art, or nature inevitably require acts o f interpreta­ tion. A ll fields o f knowledge, then, are wedded to interpretive processes. A program in Interpretation Theory provides students with the opportunity to explore processes o f inter­ pretation, inquiring into their nature across the disciplines, forces impinging upon interpretive acts, and the results o f varying forms of inter­ pretation both within knowledge-generating communities and the culture more generally. Students in any major may add either a con­ centration or a m inor for External Examination in Interpretation Theory to their CONCENTRATION REQUIREMENTS Students complete 6 credits toward the con­ centration. Three general rules guide the selec­ tion. jg A ll concentrators take a 1-credit capstone seminar, team taught by two faculty from dif­ ferent departments. Students complete this capstone in the spring o f the senior year. 2. W ith a view to both historical depth and m ethodological breadth, students select at least one course from the “one-asterisk” group (historical development of interpretive prac­ tices) and at least one course from the “twoasterisk” group (breadth of current interpretive perspectives across the disciplines). “Asterisked” courses must be chosen from dif­ ferent departments.

T h e discipline: Linguistics is the study of lan­ guage. O n the most general level, it deals with the internal structure o f language, the history o f the development of language, the informa­ tion language can give us about the human mind, and the roles language plays in influenc­ ing the entire spectrum o f human activity. T h e relevance o f linguistics to the disciplines o f psychology, philosophy, sociology, anthro­ pology, and language study has been recognized for a long time. But recently, a knowledge of linguistics has become important to a much wider range o f activities in today’s world. It is a basic tool in artificial intelligence. It is increas­ ingly a valuable tool in literary analysis. It is fundamental to an understanding of communi­ cation skills. It is a foundational discipline to cognitive science. A nd, because the very nature o f modem linguistic inquiry is to build arguments for particular analyses, the study of linguistics gives the student finely honed argu­ m entation skills, which stand in good stead in careers in law, business, and any other profes­ sion where such skills are crucial. Linguistics is at once a discipline in itself and the proper forum for interdisciplinary work of any number o f types. T his is because language is both the principal medium that human beings use to communicate with each other and the bond that links people together and binds them to their culture. T h e study of lan­ guage is the study o f the very fabric o f our humanity. through the Linguistics program: LIN G and the special Honors major LL. A ll LIN G and LL majors (Honors or course) must take one course or seminar from each of the following three lists: 1. Sounds: LIN G 045, 052 2. Forms: LIN G 050 3. Meanings: LIN G 026, 0 4 0 ,1 1 6 A ll LIN G and LL majors (Honors or course) will be expected to take LIN G 006 or 061. If the student speaks a non-Indo-European lan­ guage, this requirement is waived. A ll LIN G and LL majors (Honors or course) must write a thesis in the fall o f the senior year. For course students, this is LIN G 100. For Honors students, this is LIN G 195. Students are encouraged to study abroad, and all departmentally approved courses taken in linguistics abroad can be used to fulfill require­ ments for the major or minor. LINGUISTICS T his major consists o f 8 credits in linguistics, where the student may choose to count LING 001 as part o f the major or not. LINGUISTICS AND LANGUAGES There are two majors in the course program administered through the Linguistics program. These are linguistics (LIN G ); and the special major in linguistics and languages (LL). T h e student may combine the study o f linguis­ tics with the serious study of two foreign lan­ guages. T h e languages can be modem or ancient. For this major, precisely 6 credits in linguistics and 3 credits in each o f the two lan­ guages, for a total of 12 credits, are required. There are two Honors majors administered For a modem language taught by the Depart- 224 For a classical language taught by the Depart­ ment o f Classics, there must be one intermedi­ ate-level course (numbered 011-014) and one seminar. papers by taking at least 4 credits of course work (2 credits in each o f the research paper areas). T h e students will work independently on these papers, without collaboration and without faculty guidance in the spring o f the senior year in LIN G 199 (SH S) for 1 credit. T h e “examination” will consist o f a 30-minute discussion with the reader for each paper. Some work in each foreign language included in the major must be done in the student’s junior or senior year. T h e Linguistics program puts no restrictions on the minors that can be combined with this major. If one or both o f the foreign languages is mod­ em, the student must study abroad for at least one semester in an area appropriate for one of the foreign languages. SPECIAL HONORS MAJOR: LINGUISTICS AND LANGUAGES ment o f M odem Languages and Literatures, there must be one Composition and Diction course (numbered 0 04 or above) and two other courses (numbered 011 or above) or a seminar. Students at Bryn Mawr College (BMC) or Haverford College (HC) Any student from the tricollege community is welcome to major in Linguistics. H C and BM C students need only talk with their home cam­ pus dean and the ch air o f Linguistics at Swarthmore College to arrange a major plan. T h e major consists of 6 credits in linguistics, not counting SH S, plus 3 credits in each of two languages (as in the course major in Linguistics and Languages). T h e portfolio for this special major will consist o f (1) a 2-credit thesis, (2) three research papers that follow the same guidelines as those above under the Honors major in Linguistics, with the proviso that one o f the relevant language departments will ad­ minister one o f those research papers. T he “examination” will consist of a single 90-minute panel discussion with all four external readers. HONORS MAJOR: LINGUISTICS The major consists o f 8 credits in Linguistics, not counting Senior Honors Study (SH S) credits, where the student may choose to count LING 001 as part o f the major or not. The thesis and two research papers will consti­ tute the portfolio for Honors. The thesis may be on any topic in linguistics. It need not be related to course work. It will be written in fall of the senior year in LIN G 195. Work may be collaborative with at most one other student at the discretion of the faculty. The “examination” will consist of a 1-hour dis­ cussion with the external reader. The research papers will be on topics selected from a list prepared by the external readers and will be on core areas o f linguistics and directly related to course work the student has taken. The areas will be selected from any combina­ tion or blend o f the following: phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, his­ torical, comparative, and social linguistics. The student will prepare for these research MINORS There are three minors administered through the Linguistics Department, each o f which can be done in the course or the Honors programs. T h e requirements are the following: 1. Theory: LIN G 040, 045, and 050 2. Phonology/Morphology: LIN G 043, 045, and 025 or 052 3. Syntax/Semantics: LIN G 040, 043, 050 In addition, students must complete any two other credits in Linguistics. HONORS MINOR Students who do a course major in linguistics may count linguistics for the minor in the Honors program. In that case, the portfolio for Honors will consist o f a 2-credit thesis written in fall of the senior year in LIN G 195. T h e stu- 225 Linguistics dent will also take LIN G 199 (SH S) for 0.5 credit in spring of the senior year. LING 005. Structure of the Japanese Language Students who do no t do a course major in lin­ guistics have different requirements for the minor. A single research paper will constitute the portfolio for Honors. T his research paper will have the same topics and guidelines for preparation and exam ination as the research papers described above for the majors. In addi­ tion, all Honors minors must take LIN G 199 (S H S ) in the spring o f the senior year for 0.5 credit, which is beyond the 5 credits required for all minors. W e will examine the major structures of the Japanese language. In addition to covering the phonological, morphological, and syntactic subsystems of Japanese, we will discuss the writing system, sociolinguistic variation, and possible relationships with other languages, all in the context o f Japanese culture. No previous knowledge of Japanese or o f Linguistics will be assumed. T his course counts toward Asian Studies.

Anthropological Linguistics: Endangered Languages In this seminar, we address some traditional issues o f concern to both linguistics and anthropology, framed in the context o f the ongoing, precipitous decline in human linguis­ tic diversity. W ith the disappearance o f lan­ guages, cultural knowledge (including entire technologies such as ethnopharmacology) is often lost, leading to a decrease in humans’ ability to manage the natural environment. Language endangerment thus proves relevant to questions o f the language/ecology interface, ethnoecology, and cultural survival. T h e semi­ nar also addresses the ethics o f field work and dissemination o f traditional knowledge in the Internet age and includes a practical workshop on field methods.

People study mathematics and statistics for several reasons— for the pleasure o f it or for its usefulness as a tool. T h e Departm ent o f M athematics and Statistics aims to meet vary­ ing needs— to offer a program that will enable students both to develop a firm foundation in pure mathematics and to see mathematical and statistical methods used to solve in a precise way problems arising in physical science, com ­ puter science, social science, and operations research. M athem atics and statistics have grown enormously in recent years, developing an increasing number of specialties and appli­ cations. A ll mathematical endeavor, however, is based upon logical argument, abstraction, and an analytical approach to problem solving. Ideally, the study o f m athematical sciences develops the ability to reason logically from hypothesis to conclusion, to analyze and solve quantitative problems, and to express one’s thoughts clearly and precisely. In addition, the department hopes that studying mathematics will foster an appreciation for the beauty and power o f its methods, abstract approach, and rigorous structure. (Statistical Thinking), ST A T 002 (Statistical M ethods), M A TH 003 (Introduction to M athem atical T h in k in g ), M ATH 004 (Calculus Concepts), M A TH 005 (Calculus I), M A TH 0 0 5 S (Calculus I Sem inar), and M A TH 009 (Discrete M athem atics). STAT 001, M A TH 003, M A TH 004, M A TH 005S, and M A TH 009 are primary distribution cours­ es. More advanced courses are available to first-year students as explained below. Students who would like to begin calculus (M A TH 004, 005, or 0 0 5 S ) but are no t sure they are pre­ pared should take the departmental calculus readiness exam when they arrive on campus. Entering students may place into higher-level courses (typically the half-semester courses 006A , 006B , and 00 6 C or the semester courses 006S, 016, 016H , and 018) by scoring suffi­ ciently well on the departmental calculus placement exam or by taking certain standard­ ized exams (see later). First Year C ou rses: M athematics and statistics courses appropriate for incoming first-year stu­ dents w ith traditional (precalculus) high school preparation include S T A T 001 232 Placem ent P rocedure: To gain entrance to any mathematics course (but not to gain entrance to statistics courses), students m ust take at least on e o f the follow ing exam s the A P or IB (stan­ dardized) exams, Swarthmore’s calculus place­ m ent exam , or Swarthmore’s calculus readiness exam . Even students who do take one of the standardized exams may be required to take the departmental exams as well. T h e calculus placement exam is sent to entering first-year students over the summer, along with detailed information about the rules for placement and credit. T h e calculus readiness exam is given during first-year orientation only. A dvanced P lacem en t an d C red it P olicy: “Advanced Placement” and “credit” mean dif­ ferent things. Placement allows students to skip material they have learned well already by starting at Swarthmore in more advanced courses. Credit confers placement as well but also is recorded on the student’s Swarthmore transcript and counts toward the 32 credits needed for graduation. The Swarthmore calculus placement exam is used for placement only, not credit. Credit is awarded on the basis o f the A P and the IB exams, as follows: • 1 credit (for ST A T 0 0 2 ) for a score o f 4 or 5 on the Statistics Advanced Placement (A P) Test of the College Board. • 1 credit (for M A TH 0 0 5) for a score o f 4 on the A B or B C Calculus Advanced Placement (A P) Test o f the College Board, or for a score o f 5 o n th e H igher Level Mathematics T est o f the International Baccalaureate (IB ). I ^ | • 1.5 credits (for M A TH 005 and 006A ) for a score of 5 on the A B Calculus Advanced Placement Test (or for the A B subscore o f the BC Test) or a score o f 6 or 7 on the Higher Level IB. • 2 credits (for M ath 0 0 5 ,006A , and 006B ) for a main score o f 5 on the B C Calculus Advanced Placement Test. Alternatively, any entering student who places out of MATH 005, 006A , or 00 6 B may receive credit for the courses placed out o f by passing the final exams in these courses with a grade of straight C or better. These exams must normal­ ly be taken during the student’s first semester at Swarthmore, at the tim e when the final exam >s given for the course. Students who wish to take these exams must arrange to do so with the departmental placement coordinator and should do so during their first semester at Swarthmore. Students who are eligible for Advanced Placement credit for a course but who take the course anyway will no t receive the Advanced Placement credit. First-year students seeking Advanced Placement and/or credit for calculus taken at another college or university must normally vali­ date their work by taking the appropriate Swarthmore examination, as described earlier. For work beyond calculus completed before entering Swarthmore, students should consult the departmental placement coordinator to determine the Swarthmore course into which they should be placed. T h e department will not normally award advanced placement cred­ it for work above the M A TH 006 level, how­ ever. Introductory Statistics: Students who do not know calculus can take ST A T 001 or 002. ST A T 001 is intended to show how statistics is used to help obtain an understanding o f the world around us. ST A T 002 is a more practical course for students who expect to use statistics in their own work. Students who know a semester o f calculus should take ST A T 002C instead o f ST A T 002. Both ST A T 002 and 0 0 2 C lead to ST A T 027 on multivariate statis­ tical analysis. Students with a strong back­ ground in mathematics can begin with the more theoretical ST A T 053 and continue with the 1-credit seminar ST A T 111. R equirem ents fo r a m ajor in M athem atics: Students apply for a major in the middle of the second semester o f the sophomore year. A prospective applicant should expect typically that, by the end of the sophomore year, he or she will have received credit for, or placement out of, at least four o f the following five cours­ es: Calculus I (M A TH 005 or 0 0 5 S ), Calculus II (M A TH 0 06A and 0 06B or 00 6 S ), Discrete Mathematics (M A TH 0 0 9 ), Linear Algebra (M A TH 016 or 016H ) and Several Variable Calculus (M A TH 01 8 or 018H ). In any event, all majors must complete M ATH 016 and 018 by the end o f the first semester o f the junior year. In addition, a candidate should have a gradepoint average in mathematics and statistics courses to date o f at least C + . This should include at least one grade at the B level. In some cases, applicants may be deferred pending successful work in courses to be designated by the department. By graduation, a mathematics major must have at least 10 credits in mathematics and statistics courses. A t most, 5 o f the credits counted in the 10 may be for courses numbered under 025. (Certain courses in this category are not to 233 Mathematics and Statistics count toward the major. These are so indicated under the course listings in this catalog.) Furthermore, every major is required to obtain credit for, or place out of, each o f the following courses: M ATH 005 or 00 5 S ; M A TH 006A and 00 6 B or 0 06S; M A TH 016 or 16H; MATH 0 18 or 018H ; M A TH 047; and M A TH 049. T h e two upper-level core courses, M A TH 047 (Introduction to Real Analysis) and M ATH 0 49 (Introduction to M odem Algebra), will be offered every fall semester. A t least one of these two should be taken no later than the fall semester o f the junior year. Finally, majors not in the Honors program must satisfy the depart­ mental comprehensive requirement by passing M A TH 097: Senior Conference. Progress of majors will be reviewed at the end o f each semester. Students no t making satisfactory progress may be dropped from the major. Mathematics majors are urged to study in some depth a discipline that makes use o f mathe­ matics and to acquire some facility with the computer. Students bound for graduate work should obtain a reading knowledge o f French, German, or Russian. S pecial em phases: T h e above requirements allow room to choose an optional special emphasis within the M athematics major. For instance: A student may major in M athematics with an em phasis on statistics by taking the following courses at the advanced level: (1) the core analysis course (M A T H 0 4 7 ); (2 ) Mathematical Statistics I (ST A T 053) and pos­ sibly Mathematical Statistics II (ST A T 111; (3 ) Probability (M A TH 105); (4) Multivariate Statistics (S T A T 027) or, perhaps, Econometrics (ECO N 135); and (5) another mathematics course numbered 025 or above. Students are encouraged but not required to select the core algebra course (M A TH 049) if they choose this emphasis. Students interested in m athem atics and com put­ er scien ce should consider a Mathematics major with a Concentration in Computer Science or an Honors program with a Mathematics major and a Computer "Science minor. Details on these options are in the catalog under Computer Science. Sample program for majors thinking of gradu­ ate work in social or m anagem ent scien ce or an M .B.A . Basic courses: M A TH 005 (or 005S), 234 0 06A and 006B (or 0 0 6 S ), 009, 016, and 018; C P S C 020. Advanced courses: (1) Modeling (M A TH 0 6 1 ); (2) at least one o f Probability (M A T H 1 0 5 ), M athem atical Statistics I (ST A T 0 5 3 ), and possibly M athem atical Statistics II (ST A T 111); (3) at least one of Combinatorics (M A TH 065) or Operations Research (ECO N 0 3 2 ); (4) the two required core courses (M A TH 047 and M A TH 049); and (5) Differential Equations (M A TH 030). Because this is a heavy program (one who hopes to use mathematics in another field must have a good grasp both of the mathematics and o f the applications), one o f the core course requirements may be waived with permission o f the department. Sample program for students thinking of grad­ uate work in operations research. Basic courses: same as previous paragraph. Advanced courses: (1) the two required core courses (M A TH 047 and M A TH 0 4 9 ); (2 ) Combinatorial O ptim ization (M A T H 0 7 2 ) and Com bin­ atorics (M A T H 0 6 5 ); (3 ) M athematical Statistics (ST A T 0 5 3 ); and (4) at least one of Num ber Theory (M A T H 0 3 7 ), Modeling (M A TH 0 6 1 ), or Probability (M A TH 105). T eacher C ertification : W e offer teacher certifica­ tio n in M athem atics through a program approved by the state of Pennsylvania. Because o f a change in teacher certification regulations that occurred in November 2000, students completing certification during 2001 to 2003 will need to fulfill somewhat different course requirements from those who complete certifi­ cation in 2004 and beyond. For further infor­ mation about the relevant set o f requirements, please contact the Education program director, the Mathematics Department chair, or the Education program W eb site: www.swarthmore.edu/SocSci/Education/. Requirem ents fo r a course m inor in M athem atics: By graduation, a mathematics course minor should have obtained 6 credits in mathematics or statistics. Furthermore, every mathematics course minor is required to obtain credit for, or place out of, each o f the following courses: M A TH 005 or 005S; M A TH 006A -006B or 00 6 S ; M A TH 016 or 016H ; and M A TH 018 or 018H . In addition, every mathematics course minor must obtain at least 2 credits in mathe­ matics or statistics courses whose numbers are greater than 030. A t least one o f these 2 cred­ its must be obtained from M ATH 047 or MATH 049. Progress o f mathematics course minors will be reviewed at the end o f each semester. Students not making satisfactory progress may be dropped from the minor. Requirements fo r a course m inor in Statistics: By graduation, a statistics course minor should have obtained 6 credits in mathematics or sta­ tistics. Furthermore, every statistics course minor is required to obtain credit for, or place out of, each of the following courses: M ATH 005 or 0 05S; M A TH 0 06A -006B or 006S; MATH 0 16 or 016H ; and M A TH 018 or 018H. In addition, every statistics course minor must credit for, or place out of, STA T 053 and STA T 111. Progress of statistics course minors will be reviewed at the end o f each semester. Students n o t making satisfactory progress may be dropped from the minor. The H onors program : Requirements for accep­ tance as a mathematics major in the Honors program are more stringent than those for the course major and include a grade-point average in mathematics and statistics courses of B+ or better. Potential Honors majors may want to consider including in the sophomore year a course that emphasizes theory and provides an opportunity for writing proofs. Department faculty can give advice on appropriate courses. Beginning with the Class o f 1999, the program for an Honors major in mathematics shall con­ sist of preparations for external exam ination in three fields of 2 credits each, and an addition­ al credit in one o f the three chosen prepara­ tions, for a total o f 7 distinct credits. Each preparation consists o f a required core course together with a second credit in that field selected from a list o f courses and seminars des­ ignated by the department. For the Honors major, two of the preparations shall be in Algebra and Analysis, and every program must include at least one o f M A TH 101 (Real Analysis Seminar) or M A TH 102 (Algebra Seminar). These two seminars will be offered every spring semester. Each student may select the third preparation from a list o f fields that includes Discrete M athem atics, Geometry, Statistics, and Topology. A ny alternatives to these must be approved by the department. Students wishing to com plete an Honors minor in mathematics must have credit for, or place out of, M A TH 005 or 00 5 S , M A TH 006A and 006B or 0 06S, M ATH 016 or 016H , and Math 018 or 018H . For the Honors por­ tion o f their program, minors must complete one 2-credit preparation chosen from among any o f the fields described earlier. Again, any alternatives must have departmental approval. COURSES STAT 001. Statistical Thinking Statistics provides methods for how to collect and analyze data and generalize from the results o f the analysis. Statistics is used in a wide variety o f fields, and the course provides an understanding o f the role of statistics. It is intended for students who want an apprecia­ tion o f statistics without having the need to learn how to apply statistical methods. It pro­ vides an intuitive understanding o f statistical concepts and makes use o f modem statistical software for the M acintosh computer. This course cannot be counted toward a major in Mathematics. Prim ary distribution cou rse. 1 credit. N ot offered 2001-2002. STAT 002. Statistical Methods (Cross-listed as SO A N 010E) Data on one variable are examined through graphical methods and the computations of averages and measures o f variation. Relationships between two variables are stud­ ied using methods such as chi-square, rank cor­ relations, analysis o f variance, and regression analysis. T h e course is intended for students who want a practical introduction to statistical methods and who intend to do statistical analysis themselves, mainly in the biological and social sciences. It is not a prerequisite for any other department course except STA T 027, nor can it be counted toward a major in the department.

How did and does mathematics evolve over the years? How does one approach a mathematical problem, and how can that be useful outside of mathematics? These questions and many others will be answered throughout the course by reading several books and doing problems related to those readings. T h e course will be run in seminar style, with most class time spent discussing the problems, presenting solutions, and doing group work. T his course is recommended for students who plan to never take another math course again, for those who want to ease into mathematics, and for those who are interested in a broad introductory level survey o f mathematics.

T his interdisciplinary program offers an oppor­ tunity for an integrated study o f European and Mediterranean civilization from the fourth century to the fifteenth. T h e period, which has a critical importance for the understanding of W estern culture, can be approached best through a combination o f several disciplines. Hence, six departments (A rt, Classics, English Literature, History, Music, and Religion) coop­ erate to provide a course o f study that may be offered as a major or minor in the course pro­ gram or as a major or minor in the Honors pro­ gram. A ll students who major in the course program or major or minor in the Honors program must satisfy the following distribution requirements: tion o f the various subjects and methods involved in the interdisciplinary field of Medieval Studies. 3. Students must complete 8 credits (at least) in Medieval Studies in order to graduate with a Medieval Studies major. (In addition to courses, these credits may include direct­ ed readings in medieval subjects and/or a thesis written during the first semester of the senior year.) For a m inor in the course program (available to the C lass o f 2003 and thereafter), the requirem ents are as follow s: O ne course in History (H IS T 002A , 006, 01201 7 , or 112) A minor in Medieval Studies will consist of 5 credits in Medieval Studies (see course and seminar options as listed below). These 5 cred­ its must include work in at least three separate departments. Students are reminded that only 1 of the 5 credits can be in the department of his or her major. O ne course in Literature (EN G L 010, 014, 016, 102, or C L A S 0 1 4 or 060) For a m ajor in the H onors program , the require­ m ents are as follow s: O ne course in A rt History (A R T H 0 1 4 ,0 4 7 , or 145) O ne course in Religion (RELG 014B , 020B , 114, or 116) or Philosophy (medieval) (Please note possible prerequisites for the above courses.) For a m ajor in the course program , the require­ m ents are as follow s: 1. Distribution requirements as listed above. 2. Seniqr comprehensive examinations. Each major in course is required to complete the senior comprehensive w ritten and oral examinations (normally taken at the end of the second semester o f senior year). These examinations are planned as a culminating exercise to facilitate the review and integra­ 242 1. Distribution requirements as listed above. 2. T h e four preparations for the Honors pro­ gram should reflect the interdisciplinary nature o f this major and must include work in three o f the following five areas: art his­ tory, history, literature, music, or religion/ philosophy. T h e preparations may be con­ stituted by some combination of the follow­ ing: seminars, preapproved two-course com­ binations, courses with attachments, or a thesis. Students may design an integrated minor in another field by counting one of the Medieval Studies preparations in its home department. Students who minor in another department will have to fulfill the m inor prerequisites and Requirements (including Sen ior Honors Study minor requirements) stipulated by that depart­ ment. 3. Senior Honors Study for m ajors in Medieval Studies will follow the policies of the individual departmental preparations used in the program. Majors will have a 90minute oral panel with all four examiners present. Majors will have the regular indi­ vidual oral for the single preparation. For a m inor in the H onors program , the require­ ments are as follow s: 1. Distribution requirements as listed above. 2. T he one preparation for the Honors pro­ gram should reflect the interdisciplinary nature of this minor and may be satisfied by one o f the following: one seminar, a preap­ proved two-course com bination, or one course with an attachm ent. T h e minor preparation must be in a department dis­ tinct from the student’s major. 3. Senior Honors Study for minors in Medieval Studies will follow the policies of the individual departmental preparations used in the program. Minors will have a 90minute oral panel with all four examiners present. Minors will have the regular indi­ vidual oral for the single preparation. Ages H IS T 015. Medieval Towns LATN 014.

T h e Department o f M odem Languages and Literatures— consisting o f Chinese, French, German, Russian, and Spanish sections— pro­ vides Swarthmore students with an under­ standing o f foreign cultures through their orig­ inal languages and prepares students to engage effectively in an increasingly internationalized world. In addition to language courses, the department also offers a large variety o f semi­ nars and courses (some in English) that explore authors, genres, aesthetic theories, and periods o f literary and cinem atic production and that investigate literature and culture as sites of contending social forces and values. In con­ 244 junction with demonstrated competence in the language, a foreign literature major will nor­ mally complete a minimum of 8 credits in advanced language literature, or culture cours­ es, and a culminating exercise, such as a com ­ prehensive examination. O ne of the required courses for the foreign literature major may be taken in English provided it is pertinent to the student’s specific major. T h e department en­ courages interdisciplinary approaches within the guidelines of the programs in Asian Studies, Francophone Studies, German Studies, Latin American Studies, and Slavic Studies. Stu­ dents interested in the literature of more than one language are encouraged to consider a comparative literature major. Students should also take note of the related major in Linguis­ tics and Languages. Courses numbered 0 0 1 B to 0 0 4B are primarily designed to help students acquire the linguistic competence necessary to pursue literary and cultural studies in a foreign language through work with the language and selected texts of literary or cultural interest. For a detailed description o f the orientation in these courses, see the explanatory note on these language courses later. Courses numbered Oil or above emphasize the study o f literature and culture as a humanistic discipline as well as competence in the spoken and written lan­ guage. Students who enter with no previous knowl­ edge of a language and who are interested in majoring in a foreign literature should register for the intensive language courses (0 0 1 B002B) in the freshman year. Language courses numbered 0 0 3 B and above, with the exception of Spanish, count toward the 8 credits required for the major. Students who wish to continue a language begun elsewhere will be placed at the course level where they will profit best according to their score on the College Entrance Examina­ tion or placement tests administered by the department in the fall. Prerequisites for majors are noted under the listing of each of the literatures taught. Excep­ tions to course requirements are made for those who show competence in the language o f spe­ cialization. Students who speak C hinese, French, German, Russian, or Spanish fluently should consult with the department before electing courses. Majors are urged to select supporting courses in other literatures, in history, philosophy, lin­ guistics, or art history. T h e department also recommends participation for a minimum o f a summer and a semester in an academic pro­ gram abroad. Linguistically qualified students in French may apply to the Swarthmore Program in Grenoble at the University of Grenoble, for one or two semesters in the sophomore or junior year. T his program is par­ ticularly suited for majors in the humanities and the social sciences. Students competent in Spanish should consider the Flamilton College Program in Madrid, Spain, which is coopera­ tively sponsored by Swarthmore. O ther recom­ mended programs include R ice U niversityC hile; the University o f Kansas-Costa Rica; the University o f Pennsylvania-M exico; Pitzer College-Ecuador. For a complete listing of approved programs, students should consult with members o f the Spanish section. (The Spanish section requires that its majors spend a minimum o f one semester o f study abroad in a program approved by the section). Students of German have the opportunity to jo in the Dickinson College program in Bremen during the spring semester o f each year. O ther pro­ grams students should consider are the Wayne State Junior Year in Germany (at the Univer­ sity o f M unich or the University o f Freiburg), the Wesleyan University Program in Regens­ burg, or the Duke Program in Berlin. Students in Russian are strongly encouraged to spend at least one semester in the A .C .T .R . or C.I.E.E. language programs among others in Russia. Study abroad is particularly encouraged for stu­ dents o f Chinese; academic credit (full or par­ tial) is generally approved for participation in the several programs of varying duration in the People’s Republic of China and in Taiwan, rec­ ommended by the Chinese section. In the People’s Republic these include, but are not limited to, the IU B Inter-University Board Program at Tsing-hua University, the A C C Associated Colleges in C hina Program, and the CIEE program in Beijing, and the C E T program in Harbin. In Taiwan, these include the IC L P International Chinese Language Program and the Mandarin Training Center in Taipei; and the University o f Massachusetts program in Tunghai. Students on scholarship may apply scholarship monies to designated 245 Modem Languages and Literatures programs of study abroad. W e offer teacher certification in modem lan­ guages (French, German, and Spanish) through a program approved by the state of Pennsyl­ vania. Because o f a change in teacher certifica­ tion regulations that occurred in November 2000, students completing certification during 2001 to 2003 will need to fulfill somewhat dif­ ferent course requirements from those who complete certification in 2004 and beyond. For further information about the relevant set of requirements, please contact the Education pro­ gram director, the M odem Languages Depart­ ment chair, or the Education program Web site: www.swarthmore.edu/SocSci/Education/. Students planning to do graduate work are reminded that, in addition to the language of specialization, a reading knowledge of other languages is often required for admission to advanced studies. ADVANCED PLACEMENT or minor in the original languages, but a stu­ dent may take one of these courses to satisfy the 8-credit requirement o f a foreign literature major provided that the course is pertinent to the specific literature o f the major.

Introduction to Spanish Literature Come with us on a literary tour o f the last three centuries in Spain! W e disembark in the intel­ lectually stimulating and urbane illustration, make numerous stopovers in the tumultuous 19th century, and continue our journey through the varied twists and turns o f realism, modernism, vanguardism, surrealism, and other “isms.” Be with us as we pass through the shadowy postwar years o f the twentieth centu­ ry, when literature became an important venue for public discourse on contemporary events, into the exciting transition to democracy. Read about times o f political and civil upheaval, o f soaring ideologies and crushing defeats, with restful side trips to such familiar themes as life and love and death. See how the changing social, economic, and political conditions in Spain gave rise to a unique national literature, how the particulars of a country and a time and the universal o f the human condition inter­ twine. A ll o f this in some o f the most striking and beautiful prose and poetry ever written in any language!

Social Movements and Literature in Mexico’s Twentieth Century T h e 1910 Revolution defined M exico’s twenti­ eth century and produced an artistic and liter- 271 Modern Languages and Literatures ary explosion. T h e revolutionary pact between government and people was seriously eroded in moments like 1968, with the repression o f the student movement; in 1985, with the authori­ ties’ failure to respond to the effects o f a major earthquake; and in 1994, with the Indigenous Zapatista insurrection. M exican literature, more than merely reflecting the social move­ ments that accompanied these events, has been part o f them. In this course, we read novels, poetry, and essays, looking at how these texts interrogate history and express the aspirations o f popular struggles. Authors include Mariano Azuela, Garro, Castellanos, Fuentes, Revueltas, Leñero, Poniatowska, Monsiváis, Pacheco, Arturo Azuela, Volpi, and the Subcomandante Marcos. F all 2001. Saad Maura.

History courses introduce stu­ dents to methods o f studying the development of musical styles and genres, and the relation­ ship of music to other arts and areas o f thought. The department encourages students to devel­ op performing skills through private study and through participation in the Chorus, Baroque Ensemble, Gamelan, Jazz Ensemble, Orchestra, Wind Ensemble, and chamber music coaching program, which it staffs and administers. T he Department also assists instrumentalists or singers to finance the cost o f private instruc­ tion. Up to 16 half-credits may be granted toward graduation. Music majors receive 100 percent subsidy for the cost of 10 private lessons each semester (see M U SI 048). Major in the course program . Two semester courses in theory and one semester course in history are prerequisite for acceptance as a major.

A reading knowledge o f Latin is also desirable for students planning to do grad­ uate work in musicology. Proficiency on an instrum ent. A ll majors in music will be expected to play a keyboard instrument well enough by their senior year to perform a two-part invention o f J.S . Bach and a first movement o f an easy late eighteenth- or early nineteenth-century sonata. In addition, they must demonstrate skill in score reading and in realizing figured basses. T h e department rec­ ommends that majors take two semesters of M U SI 042 to develop these skills. T he basic piano program . This program is designed to develop keyboard proficiency to a point where a student can effectively use the piano as a tool for study and also to help students meet the keyboard requirements outlined above. It is open to any student enrolled in a theory course numbered 011 or higher. No academic credit is given for basic piano. A unique resource o f the department is its ensemble in residence, Orchestra 2001, direct­ ed by Professor James Freeman.

Although it is necessary to be a member in good standing of a department performance group or the Gospel Choir, it is not necessary to be registered for credit in that performing group. A student applying for Individual Instruction should be at least at an intermediate level of performance. T h e student will arrange to work with a teacher o f her or his choice, subject to the approval of the department, which will then supervise the course o f study and grade it on a credit/no credit basis. Teachers will submit written evaluations, and the student will per­ form for a jury at the end of the semester and submit to the faculty a short paper on the piece to be performed at the jury. T h e department will then decide whether the student should receive credit and whether the student may re­ enroll for the next semester. For students enrolled in M U SI 048, approxi­ mately one-third of the cost o f 10 lessons will be paid by the department to the teacher.

T h e amount of credit received will be a half-course in any one semester. Students applying for credit will ful­ fill requirements established for each activity, i.e., regular attendance at rehearsals and per­ formances and participation in any supplemen­ tary rehearsals held in connection with the activity. Students are graded on a Credit/No Credit basis. Students taking M U SI 047 (Cham ber Music) for credit should submit to the department at the beginning of the semester a repertory of works to be rehearsed, coached, and performed during the semester. It should include the names of all students who have agreed to work on the repertoire, the names o f all coaches who have agreed to work with them, and the pro­ posed dates for performance in a student cham­ ber music concert. A student taking M U SI 047 for credit will rehearse with her/his group(s) at least two hours every week and will meet with a coach at least every other week. A ll members of the group should be capable of working well both independently and under the guidance of a coach, also capable o f giving a performance of high quality. It is no t necessary for every person in the group to be taking M U SI 047 for credit, but the department assumes that those taking the course for credit will assume responsibility for the group, making sure that the full group is present for regular rehearsals and coaching ses­ sions. Students taking the Keyboard Workshop (M U SI 050) will develop and refine skills in accompanying and sight-reading through work with the chamber, song, and four-hand reper­ toire.

Dance, a program within the Music and Dance Department, shares the department philosophy that courses in theory and history should be integrated with performance. By offering a bal­ ance o f cognitive, creative, and kinesthetic classes in dance, we present a program that stands firmly within the tradition o f Swarthmore’s liberal arts orientation. Dance instruc­ tors strive to create an atmosphere o f coopera­ tive learning, one that affirms group process and fosters camaraderie. Information about the dance program in addition to that listed below is available via the World Wide W eb at the fol­ lowing address: http://www.swarthmore.edu/humanities/dance/.

T h e two disciplines in this m ajor may be philosophically linked or may represent separate areas o f the student’s interest. Required D ance Courses T h e core program (totaling 6 credits) includes the following courses: 1. 2 composition/improvisation (D A N C 012 or 0 1 4 [1 credit] and D A N C 01 0 [1 credit]) 2. 2 history/theory (one from D A N C 021025 or 0 28 [1 credit] and one from D A N C 0 35-039 [1 credit]) 3. 2 in performance technique (D A N C 050 [0.5 credit] and one other technique at the 5 0 level or above [0.5 credit]) 4. 1 senior project or thesis (D A N C 0 9 4 ,0 9 5 , or 0 96 [1 credit]) 284 These 6 credits from the core program will be joined by 6 credits from (an)other discipline(s). Courses for the program must be approved both by the faculty o f the other departments(s) and by the dance faculty. The senior project or thesis must also be approved and monitored by those departments involved. REQUIREMENTS FOR THE MAJOR IN HONORS: DANCE T h e minimum requirement for admission to the major (Honors) is at least two courses in dance; normally an introductory history/theory course (D A N C 00 2 or 0 0 9 ) and Dance Composition I (D A N C O il). Majors in the Honors program must also have an overall B grade average before admission. In addition to the guidelines written below, each Honors major will be responsible for the material des­ ignated on the Reading and Video Lists for Senior Honors Study (S H S ) available from the department office. Honors majors will also be expected to participate in the senior colloqui­ um. A ll dance majors in the Honors program must do three preparations in the department and one outside (in a related or unrelated minor). Two o f the departmental preparations will be based on course combinations (one in histo­ ry/theory and one in composition). T h e third will take the form o f either a senior project (D A N C 0 9 4 ) or a senior thesis (D A N C 095, 0 9 6 ). T h e portfolio submitted by each student will include both w ritten materials and a videotape that provides examples o f the stu­ d ent’s choreographic/performance work at Swarthmore (a maximum o f 20 minutes in length). Each student’s program will include the following: 1. H istory/theory. O ne area o f emphasis link­ ing a course from (D A N C 021-025 or 028) with a course from (D A N C 035-039). Each student will demonstrate this integra­ tion via a paper written as an attachment. T his paper, along with appropriate papers from each history/theory class submitted for preparation, will be sent to the examin­ er. T h e written exam for this preparation will consist o f a response to three questions set by the examiner. 2. C om position. Each student may submit a combination o f Composition I (D A N C 01 1 ) plus either Composition II (D A N C 0 1 2 ) , Sp ecial Topics in Com position (D A N C 0 1 4 ), or two Com position Tutorials (D A N C 01 3 ). T h e syllabi (where appropriate), a videotape o f the final work, and a paper concerning the choreographic process from each class will be submitted to the examiner. 3. Senior project/thesis. These projects/theses will be individually determined.

T h e program offers courses in the following areas: (1 ) alternatives to fighting as a way o f settling disputes, including conflict resolution, rituals, nonviolence, mediation, peace-keeping forces, private peace-fostering organizations, arms control, econom ic sanc­ tions, international law, and international organizations; (2 ) the causes o f collective vio­ lence, including aggression and human nature, the state system and international anarchy, sys­ tem ic injustice, com petition for scarce resources, diplomacy, ethnocentrism, ideologi­ cal and religious differences, insecure bound­ aries, minorities within states, and arms races; (3 ) the nature of war and conflict, including civilian and military objectives, the political economy of war, strategy and tactics, deterrence theory, low-intensity conflict, psychology of battle, prisoners of war, neutral rights, draft and conscientious objectors, the experience of war by soldiers and civilians, conventional, nuclear, and guerrilla wars, how to end a war, and the aftereffects o f war; and (4) the evalua­ tion o f war and violence, including the moral­ ity o f war and violence, just war theory, paci­ fism, war mentality, the utility o f war, war nov­ els, and the responsibilities o f citizens directly or indirectly involved in war and violence. Students with any major, whether in course or in the Honors program, may add a concentra­ tion, or a course minor, in Peace and C onflict Studies. Alternatively, students in the Honors program may choose an Honors minor in Peace and C onflict Studies. Students intending a 294 concentration or a minor in Peace and Conflict Studies should submit a copy o f their sopho­ more paper to the chair o f the program during the spring o f the sophomore year, after consul­ tation with faculty members who teach in the program. T h e paper should present a plan of study that satisfies the requirements stated below, specifying the courses to count toward the concentration or minor. A ll applications must be approved by the Peace and Conflict Studies Committee. REQUIREMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS A concentration in Peace and C onflict Studies consists o f six courses o f which only two may be taken in the student’s major. Introduction to Peace Studies (PE A C 0 1 5 ), offered yearly, is the only required course; it is recommended that students have a background in history, international relations, or ethics prior to taking Introduction to Peace Studies. In addition, a concentration requires a thesis or final exercise. Student programs can include an internship or field work component, e.g., in a peace or con­ flict management organization such as the U nited Nations or Suburban Dispute Settle­ ment. A n internship is highly recommended. Normally, field work and internships do not receive College credit, but for special pro­ jects— to be worked out with an instructor and approved by the Peace and C onflict Studies Comm ittee in advance— students can earn up to 1 credit. REQUIREMENTS FOR THE HONORS MINOR Students in the Honors program who wish to minor in Peace and C onflict Studies must complete one preparation for external exami­ nation. T his 2-credit preparation can be a combination of two courses in different depart­ ments, a 2-credit thesis, or a combination o f a thesis and a course. A ny thesis must be multi­ disciplinary. T h e com bination o f courses, course and thesis, or thesis must be approved by the Peace and C onflict Studies Committee. Any student minoring in Peace Studies must meet the requirement of six units o f study, of which no more than 2 credits can come from the major department. Introduction to Peace Studies (PE A C 0 1 5 ) is required and should be taken no later than the junior year. Again, field work or an internship is highly recom­ mended. Students whose minor in Peace Studies can be incorporated into the final requirements for Senior Honors Study in the major should do so. T h e Peace and C onflict Studies Committee will work out with the student and the major department the guidelines for the integration exercise. In cases where the Comm ittee and the student conclude that integration is not feasible or desirable, the Committee will pro­ vide a reading list o f books. cussing the ethics o f war and causes o f conflict. T his course can be counted for distribution as a social science unit, but it is not a primary dis­ tribution course. Normally, it may not be used to fulfill any department’s major requirements.

Philosophy analyzes and comments critically on concepts that are presupposed, embodied, and developed in other disciplines and in daily life: the natures o f knowledge, meaning, rea­ soning, morality, the character of the world, God, freedom, human nature, justice, and his­ tory. Philosophy is thus significant for everyone who wishes to live and act in a reflective and critical manner. o f Psychology, Philosophy of Mathematics, and Philosophy o f Religion. From time to time, there are courses and seminars on meaning, freedom, and value in various domains of con­ temporary life: Values and Ethics in Science and Technology, Fem inist Theory, and Biotechnology and Society. COURSE OFFERINGS AND PREREQUISITES The Philosophy Department offers several kinds o f courses, all designed to engage stu­ dents in philosophical practices. There are courses and seminars to introduce students to the major systematic works o f the history of Western philosophy: works by Plato and Aristotle (A n cien t Philosophy); Descartes, Hume, and Kant (M odem Philosophy); Hegel and Marx (Nineteenth-Century Philosophy); Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Sartre, Heidegger, and de Beauvoir (Existentialism); and Russell and W ittgenstein (Contem porary Philosophy). There are courses and seminars that consider arguments and conclusions in specific areas of philosophy: Theory o f Knowledge, Logic, Moral Philosophy, Metaphysics, A esthetics, and Social and Political Philosophy. There are courses and seminars concerned with the con­ ceptual foundations o f various other disci­ plines: A esthetics, Philosophy o f Scien ce, Philosophy o f Language, Philosophy o f Law, Philosophy o f the Social Sciences, Philosophy Students majoring in philosophy must com ­ plete at least one course or seminar in (1) Logic and (2) either A ncien t or M odem Philosophy and earn a total of 8 credits, not counting Senior Course Study or Sienior Honors Study. In addition, students majoring in philosophy are urged to take courses and seminars in diverse fields of philosophy. Prospective majors should complete the logic requirement as early as possible. Course majors are encouraged to enroll in seminars. Mastery o f at least one for­ eign language is recommended. A ll course majors will complete Senior Course Study in Philosophy. Students may com plete a m inor in pPhilosophy by earning any 5 credits in philos­ ophy courses. There is no distribution require­ m ent for the minor. Satisfactory completion o f either any section of PHIL 001: Introduction to Philosophy or PHIL 012: Logic are prerequisites for taking any fur­ ther course in philosophy. A ll sections of Introduction to Philosophy are primary distrib­ ution courses in the humanities. Students may not take two different sections o f Introduction to Philosophy, with one exception: the section o f Introduction to Philosophy that focuses on the philosophy o f science may be taken after 297 Philosophy completing another section of Introduction to Philosophy. PHIL 015. Biotechnology and Society: The Case of Agriculture PHIL 001. Introduction to Philosophy (Cross-listed as B IO L 005) Philosophy addresses fundamental questions that arise in various practices and inquiries. Each section addresses a few o f these questions to introduce a range o f sharply contrasting positions. Readings are typically drawn from the works o f both traditional and contempo­ rary thinkers with distinctive, carefully argued, and influential views regarding knowledge, morality, mind, and meaning. Close attention is paid to formulating questions precisely and to the technique o f analyzing arguments, through careful consideration o f texts. E ach sem ester. Staff.

T h e focus of attention will be various historicophilosophical accounts o f the meanings and functions o f such musical works in culture, ranging from how they present images of human freedom to how they encode gender oppositions and social antagonisms. A n ability to follow a score and some awareness (but not substantial music historical knowledge) of the relative dates o f major composers o f Western art music (e.g., Beethoven is just before Schubert) is required.

If the power o f a social critique rests on its abil­ ity to make general claims, then how do we account for the particularity o f women’s vari­ ous social situations without sacrificing the power o f a unified theoretical perspective? In this course, we will explore possibilities opened by poststructuralist theory, postcolonial theory, French feminist theory, and other forms of fem­ inist thought, in order to examine questions about desire, sexuality, and embodied identi­ ties, and various resolutions to this dilemma. 2 credits.

T h e aim of the department is to contribute to the total education o f all students through the medium o f physical activity. W e believe this contribution can best be achieved through encouraging participation in a broad program of individual and team sports, aquatics, physi­ cal fitness, and wellness. T h e program provides an opportunity for instruction and experience in a variety o f these activities on all levels. It is our hope that participation in this program will foster an understanding of movement and the pleasure of exercise and will enhance, by prac­ tice, qualities of good sportsmanship, leader­ ship, and cooperation in team play. Students are also encouraged to develop skill and inter­ est in a variety o f activities that can be enjoyed after graduation. T h e intercollegiate athletic program is com­ prehensive, including varsity teams in 21 dif­ ferent sports: 10 for men and 11 for women. Ample opportunities exist for large numbers of students to engage in intercollegiate competi­ tion, and those who qualify may be encouraged to participate in regional and national champi­ onship contests. Several club teams in various sports are also organized, and a program of 302 intramural activities is sponsored. Students are encouraged to enjoy the instruc­ tional and recreational opportunities offered by th e departm ent throughout their college careers. A ll students no t excused for medical reasons are required to complete a four-quarter (two-semester) program in physical education. A ll students must pass a survival swimming test or take up to one quarter o f swimming instruc­ tion. T h e swim test and the two semesters of physical education are requirements for gradu­ ation. Courses offered by the department are listed below. Credit toward completion o f the physi­ cal education requirement will also be given for participation in intercollegiate athletics as well as the listed dance courses, which are semester-long courses. To receive credit for any part o f the program, students must participate in their chosen activity a minimum o f three hours a week. Students are encouraged to com­ plete the requirement by the end o f their sophomore year.

T h e program of the Physics and Astronomy Department stresses the concepts and methods that have led to an understanding o f the fun­ damental laws explaining the physical universe. Throughout the work o f th e department, emphasis is placed on quantitative, analytical reasoning, as distinct from the mere acquisition o f facts and skills. Particular importance is also attached to laboratory work because physics and astronomy are primarily experimental and observational sciences. W ith the awareness th at involvem ent in research is a major component in the educa­ tion o f scientists, the department offers a num­ ber o f opportunities for students to participate in original research projects, conducted by members o f the faculty, on campus. Several research laboratories are maintained by the department to support faculty interests in the areas o f laser physics, high-resolution atomic spectroscopy, plasma physics, computer simulation, liquid crystals, biophysics, and observational and theoretical astrophysics. T h e department maintains the historic Sproul telescope, a 61-cm refractor, equipped with a C C D camera, plus several small telescopes for instructional use. A monthly visitors’ night at the observatory is announced in T he W eekly N ew s. 304 Two calculus-based introductory sequences are offered. PH YS 003, 004 covers both classical and modem physics and is an appropriate introductory physics sequence for those stu­ dents majoring in engineering, chemistry, and biology. PHYS 007 and 008, on the other hand, which is normally preceded by PHYS 006 or A S T R 003, is at a higher level. It is aimed toward students planning to do further work in physics or astronomy and is also appro­ priate for engineering and chemistry majors. T h e four-course sequence 006, 007, 008, and 014 is designed to provide a comprehensive introduction to all major areas o f physics. Additional information is available via the World Wide Web at http://laser.swarthmore.edu/.

Students wishing an even stronger background for graduate work and a deeper look at one or more special fields may take an extended pro­ gram by adding elective seminars in physics or astronomy and/or a research project/thesis. Seniors not taking the External Examinations must complete a Comprehensive Exercise in the senior year, which is not only intended to encourage review and synthesis but also requires students to demonstrate mastery o f fundamen­ tals studied during all four years. Criteria fo r acceptan ce as a m ajor. A student applying to become a physics major should have completed or be completing PH YS 014, PHYS 050, and M A TH 018. If applying for an astrophysics or astronomy major, they should also have completed A S T R 016. T h e applicant must normally have an average grade in all physics and/or astronomy courses as well as in MATH 016, 018, o f C or better. Because almost all advanced work in physics and astronomy at Swarthmore is taught in sem­ inars, where the pedagogical responsibility is shared by the student participants, an addi­ tional consideration in accepting (retaining) majors is the presumed (demonstrated) ability of the students not only to benefit from this mode of instruction but also to contribute pos­ itively to the seminars. A dvanced laboratory program . T h e advanced laboratory courses, namely, EN G R 072A (elec­ tronics lab), PH YS 063, and PH YS 082 (each 0.5 credit) require approximately one after­ noon a week. Students enrolled in these must arrange their programs so that they can sched­ ule a time for lab each week, free o f conflicts with other classes, seminars, extracurricular activities, and sports. Indepen den t w ork. Physics and astronomy majors are encouraged to undertake indepen­ dent research projects, especially in the senior year, either in conjunction with one o f the senior seminars or as a special project for sepa­ rate credit (PHYS/ASTR 094). There are many opportunities for students to work with faculty members on research projects during the sum­ mer or semester. In preparation for indepen­ dent experimental work, prospective physics majors are urged to take the required course P H Y S 0 6 3 : Procedures in Experim ental Physics during the fall semester o f their sopho­ more year, which will qualify them to work in the departmental shops. T eacher certification . W e offer teacher certifica­ tion in physics through a program approved by the state o f Pennsylvania. Because of a change in teacher certification regulations that occurred in November 2000, students completing certifica­ tion during 2001 to 2003 will need to fulfill somewhat different course requirements from those who complete certification in 2004 and beyond. For further information about the rel­ evant set of requirements, please contact the Education program director, the Physics De­ partment chair, or the Education Program Web site: www.swarthmore.edu/SocSci/Education/.

COURSE OFFERINGS AND PREREQUISITES Courses and seminars offered by the Political Science Department deal with the place of politics in society and contribute to an under­ standing o f the purposes, organization, and operation o f political institutions, domestic and international. T h e department offers courses in all four of the major subfields o f the discipline: Am erican politics, comparative pol­ itics, international politics, and political theory. Questions about the causes and consequences o f political action and normative concerns regarding freedom and authority, power and justice, and human dignity and social responsi­ bility are addressed throughout the curriculum. Prerequisites. Students planning to study politi­ cal science are advised to start with two o f the following introductory courses: Political Theory, Am erican Politics, Comparative Politics, and International Politics (PO L S 001, 002, 003, and 0 0 4 ). Normally, any two o f these courses constitute the prerequisite for further work in the department. REQUIREMENTS FOR THE MAJOR P rerequ isites an d gen eral recom m en dation s. Students who intend to m ajor in political sci­ ence should begin their work in their first year 312 at college if possible. Completion o f at least two courses at the introductory level (POLS 001, 002, 003, and 004) is required for admis­ sion to the major. Supporting courses strongly recommended for all majors are Statistical Thinking or Statistical Methods (M A TH 001 or 0 0 2 ) and Introduction to Economics (EC O N 001). C ourse requirem ents fo r m ajors. To graduate with a major in political science, a student must complete the equivalent o f at least eight courses in the department. T h e department expects that at least five of these eight courses be taken at Swarthmore. D istribution requirem ents. A ll political science majors are required to take one course or semi­ nar in each o f the three subfield areas: (1) Am erican politics, (2) comparative or interna­ tio nal politics, and (3 ) political theory. Completion o f any o f the following will satisfy the political theory requirement: PO LS Oil, 012, 100, or 101. T h e department recommends that majors plan course and seminar programs that afford some exposure above the introductory level to at least three o f the four major subfields o f politi­ cal science (listed in the introductory para­ graph earlier). C om prehen sive requ irem en t. M ajors in the course program can fulfill the College compre­ hensive requirement in one o f two ways. The preferred option is the oral thesis. Students are examined orally on a body o f literature that best captures their interests and range of prepa­ ration within the discipline. Under the second option, the written thesis, students complete a written thesis based on in-depth research into a topic of their choice. To be eligible for this option, students must normally have at least an A - average in their political science courses, demonstrate the merit and rigor o f their pro­ posal, and secure the approval of a faculty advi­ sor. Detailed information about these options is available at the beginning o f the junior year. tions before their senior year. Senior Honors majors are invited to take the Senior H onors C olloquium , a 2-credit colloqui­ um normally offered in the fall term o f their senior year. Work done in this colloquium will satisfy the College’s Senior Honors Study re­ quirement and will be submitted to the exter­ nal examiners. A ny Senior Honors Major who does no t elect to take the Senior Honors C ol­ loquium will revise a paper written for one of their other department seminars for submission to the external examiners. For this method to fulfill the department’s Senior Honors Study requirements, students register for 0.5 credit. HONORS MAJORS HONORS MINORS To be accepted into the Honors program, stu­ dents should normally have at least an average of B+ inside the departm ent (th e grade equiva­ lent of an “Honors”) and B outside the depart­ ment and should give evidence of their ability to work independently and constructively in a seminar setting. Seminars will normally be lim­ ited to eight students, and admission priority will go to Honors majors. Political science Honors majors must meet all current distribu­ tional requirements for majors, including the political theory requirement. They need 10 political science credits. Normally, 6 o f these credits will be met with three two-unit prepa­ rations, which will help prepare Honors majors for outside examinations, both written and oral. These two-unit preparations will normal­ ly be either a 2-credit Honors seminar or a course-plus” option. O f these three two-unit preparations, no more than two may be in a single field in the department. T h e “courseplus” option will normally consist o f two oneunit courses or seminars that have been desig­ nated to count as an Honors preparation. A n example includes P O LS 0 1 3 (Fem inist Political Theory) plus eith er P O LS 031 (Difference and Dominance) or PO LS 032 (Gender, Politics, and Policy in Am erica). T h e department does not normally advise dieses, course attachments, or directed readings as a substitute for the Honors seminars and “courseplus options, but, on occasion, some faculty members may direct such work to create a 2credit Honors preparation. All prospective Honors majors should have completed one o f their four Honors prepara­ Honors minors in political science will be required to have at least 5 credits in political science. Among these 5 credits, minors must normally meet the subfield distribution require­ ment, that is, at least one course in American politics, in political theory, and in comparative politics/intemational relations. Minors will be required to take one of the two-unit Honors preparations offered by the department. HONORS EXAMS T h e Honors exams will normally consist of a three-hour written exam in each o f the stu­ dent’s seminars, and an oral exam conducted by the external examiner. CONCENTRATION IN PUBLIC POLICY Students have the option o f pursuing interdis­ ciplinary work as an adjunct to a major in political science in the concentration of Public Policy. Com prehensive requirem ents (for course majors) or the external examination requirements (for candidates for Honors) will be adjusted to allow students to demonstrate their accomplishments in the concentration. For further information, consult the separate catalog listing for Public Policy (p. 3 3 2 ). For 2001-2002, Robinson Hollister is the coordi­ nator o f the concentration in public policy. 313 Political Science THE DEMOCRACY PROJECT T h e purpose o f this project is to deepen students’ understanding o f and commitment to democ­ ratic citizenship in a multicultural society through participation in community politics. A central feature o f the Democracy Project is community-based learning through public ser­ vice and community organizing internships as part o f the course work. By integrating reflec­ tion and experience, the project will enable students to study the ways in which diverse communities define and seek to empower them­ selves in the U nited States and to discover the relationship betw een individual activism , social responsibility, and political change at the grassroots level. Not available 2001-2002. ADVANCED PLACEMENT T h e department grants one unit of college credit to students who have achieved a score of 5 on the College Board Advanced Placement (A P) examination in Government and Politics (either United States or Comparative but not both). T his credit may be counted toward the major and toward satisfaction of the College distribu­ tio n requirem ent in the S o cial Scien ces. Normally, students awarded A P credit will still be expected to complete two introductory courses at Swarthmore as a prerequisite for more advanced work in the department. TEACHER CERTIFICATION Political science majors can complete the re­ quirements for teacher certification through a program approved by the state o f Pennsylvania. Because o f a change in teacher certification regulations that occurred in November 2000, students completing certification during 2001 to 2003 will fulfill the requirements for Social Studies certification, and those who complete certification in 2004 and beyond will complete the requirements for Citizenship Education.

The work o f the Department o f Psychology concerns the systematic study of human behav­ ior and experience; processes o f perception, learning, thinking, and m otivation are consid­ ered in their relation to the development of the individual. T h e relations of the individual to other persons are also a topic o f study. other departments. Four should be core courses (with course numbers in the 030s): Physiologi­ cal Psychology, Learning and Action, Perception, Cognitive Psychology, Psychology of Language, Social Psychology, Concepts of the Person, A bnorm al Psychology, and Developmental Psychology. The courses and seminars o f the department are designed to provide a sound understanding of the principles and methods o f inquiry o f psy­ chology. Students learn the nature of psycho­ logical inquiry and psychological approaches to various problems encountered in the humani­ ties, the social sciences, and the life sciences. Students are required to meet a comprehensive requirement in their majors. In psychology, this may be accomplished in one of two ways for each class of graduates, but the process dif­ fers for the Class of 2002 and for the Classes of 2003 and beyond. A special major in psychobiology is offered in cooperation with the Department o f Biology. Consult either department chair. REQUIREMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS PSYC 001: Introduction to Psychology is nor­ mally a prerequisite for further work in the department. A course major consists o f at least 8 credits or 8.5 credits for students who meet the compre­ hensive requirement by completing P SY C 098: Senior Comprehensive Project. T h e minimum requirement excludes courses cross-listed in psychology that are taught only by members of For the Class o f 2002: T h e first way, open to all majors, is to successfully complete the compre­ hensive examination, prepared independently and completed early in the spring semester of the senior year, without course credit. T h e sec­ ond way is to complete a 2-credit senior thesis (1 credit each semester o f the senior year). T h e senior thesis program is open to students who have B+ averages both in psychology and over­ all. Students must have an acceptable propos­ al, an advisor and sufficient background to undertake the proposed work. See P SY C 096, 097, and the department brochure. For the Classes of 2003 and beyond: T h e first way, open to all majors, is to successfully com­ plete the comprehensive project, a substantial paper on a topic of the student’s choice in psy­ chology, approved by the faculty. See PSYC 323 Psychology 0 98 for further details. T h e second way is to complete a 2-credit senior thesis, as discussed earlier. Students in the Class o f 2003 who meet the comprehensive requirement in the depart­ m ent with the Comprehensive Project must meet the eight-course requirement for the psy­ chology major in addition to receiving 0.5 credit for the project. Students should take at least one course that provides them with experience in conducting research, ordinarily P SY C 0 2 5 : Research Design and Analysis. Students majoring in psychology who wish to include study abroad are advised to complete the time away before the second semester of the junior year. Students intending to pursue graduate work in psychology should take either ST A T 002 or 0 0 2 C , offered by the Department o f M athe­ matics and Statistics. In addition, they should take PSY C 02 5 : Research Design and Analysis. If possible, students should complete first Statistics and then Research Design before their senior year. A course minor, available to students in the Classes o f 2003 and beyond, consists o f at least 5 credits in psychology at Swarthmore. These five courses must include P SY C 001: Introduc­ tion to Psychology and two core courses. T he Honors Program in Psychology T h e psychology department offers qualified students the option o f study in the Honors pro­ gram. Students majoring in psychology in Honors must prepare three fields for external examination. Two o f these preparations involve a 1-credit seminar and its approved prerequi­ site; the third is a thesis, completed over the course o f the senior year. T here is no Senior Honors Study in psychology. Students must also meet the requirement for study in four core areas, as described previously. T h e psychology department also offers a minor in the Honors program. Students with Honors minors in psychology must take at least 5 cred­ its in psychology at Swarthmore, including two core courses. They must prepare one field for external examination, involving either a twounit approved sequence o f courses or a 2-cred­ it seminar. A detailed description o f the pro­ gram is available in the departmental brochure. 324 TEACHER CERTIFICATION Students wishing to pursue certification at the secondary school level should consult faculty in the Education program. Psychology majors can complete the require­ ments for teacher certification through a pro­ gram approved by the state o f Pennsylvania. Because o f a change in teacher certification regulations that occurred in November 2000, students completing certification during 2001 to 2003 will hilfill the requirements for Social Studies certification, and those who complete certification in 2004 and beyond will complete the requirements for Social Science certifica­ tion. For further information about the relevant set o f requirements, please contact the Educa­ tion program director, the Psychology Depart­ m ent chair, or the Education program Web site: www.swarthmore.edu/SocSci/Education/. COURSES PSYC 001. Introduction to Psychology A n introduction to the basic processes under­ lying human and animal behavior, studied in experimental, social, and clinical contexts. Analysis centers on the extent to which nor­ mal and abnormal behavior are determined by learning, motivation, neural, cognitive, and social processes. In addition to the course lectures, students are required to participate in a total o f four small group discussions during the semester, each meeting for 1 hour and 15 minutes during the Monday, Wednesday (1:15-4 p-m.), or Friday (2:15-5 p.m.) afternoon class periods. Students will be assigned to a group after classes begin but should keep at least one period open. P SY C 001 is prerequisite to further work in the department. 1 credit. E ach sem ester. Staff. PSYC 005. Nature and Nurture A n entry-level course that focuses on how nature and nurture combine to produce human universals as well as human differences. It draws on insights derived from studies of the human infant, language and language acquisi­ tion, the perception and experience o f emo­ tions, and human intelligence. Consideration is given to the variety o f methodologies and approaches that can shed light on nature/nurture issues— including those o f evolutionary psychology and behavior genetics.

This course addresses questions about the formula­ tion and evaluation o f theories in psychology. The scientific model of psychological hypothe­ sis testing is emphasized, including a treatment of statistical inference and the "rigorous evalua­ tion of empirical evidence. Emphasis is placed both on issues surrounding the formation of an effective research program and on developing critical skills in the evaluation o f theories.

T h e capacity for language sets the human mind apart from all other minds, both natural and artificial, and so contributes critically to mak­ ing us who we are. In this course, we ask sever­ al fundamental questions about the psychology o f language: How do children acquire it so quickly and so accurately? How do we under­ stand and produce it, seemingly without effort? W hat are its biological underpinnings? W hat is the relationship between language and thought? Fall 2001. Ward. PSYC 020.

T his course considers children’s responses to such occurrences from clinical, social, and developmental perspec­ tives. Special emphasis is placed on the contri­ butions o f family and the social environment to the child’s well-being or distress. Social psychology argues that social context is central to human experience and behavior. T his course provides a review o f the field with special attention to the historical context of the theory and research.

Just as it has shaped our bod­ ies, natural selection has also shaped our minds, endowing us with abilities and habits of thought that increase the chances we’ll pass our genes on to future generations. In this course, we apply the framework o f natural selection to six questions about human psy­ chology: W hy do we eat the foods we do? How do we decide who our mates will be? W hat is friendship? W hy do we have a sense of justice, o f right and wrong? W hat is the nature o f intel­ ligence? W hy do we have language? W e also explore the limits o f this approach as an account o f human nature. 1 credit. F all 20 0 1 . Kako. PSYC 044.

Psychology of Self-Control W hat are the processes and strategies involved in the control o f our own emotions, thoughts, and behaviors? W hen do these strategies serve us well, and when do they contribute to pathology? This course examines the principle of self-control from a number o f perspectives. Topics include delay o f gratification, dieting, aggression, emotional regulation (e.g., control of anger and depression) and the disinhibiting effects o f alcohol. Emphasis is placed on suc­ cesses and failures o f self-control and their con­ sequences for physical and psychological well­ being. 1 credit. Spring 2002. Ward. PSYC 047. Applications of Social Psychology In what areas have the lessons o f more than 50 years o f social psychological research been applied, and how have those applications fared? This course examines both the successes and failures o f those who have tried to put the theories and findings of social psychology into practice. Domains o f inquiry include the appli­ cation o f social psychology to law, education, business, public policy, gender relations, clini­ cal disorders, and peace and conflict. 1 credit.

Thinking, Judgment, and Decision Making In the modem world, people are flooded with decisions, both major and minor, on a daily basis. T h e available information is overwhelm­ ing, and there is little certainty about the out­ comes o f any o f the decisions people face. This course explores how people should go about making decisions in a complex, uncertain world; how people do go about making deci­ sions in a complex uncertain world; and how the gap between what people should do and what they do do can be closed.

Cultural Psychology Much of psychology has been concerned with discovering universals o f human behavior. However, people in different cultural settings understand themselves and their social worlds in radically different ways. T heir ways o f being, emotional life, moral and ethical ideas, inti­ mate relationships, and ideals differ radically. T his course explores psychological dimensions of culture, focusing on South Asia (especially India and Sri Lanka) and East Asia (especially Japan and C hina). W e take up issues such as the construction o f emotion; love and sexuali­ ty; idioms of mental well-being and distress as well as cultural-specific modes of healing; and ethnicity and ethnopolitical conflict. Is culture a force external to individuals that determines their behavior, or do people pro­ 328 duce culture through their everyday ways of living and habits of language? W hat research tools can help us study cultural life? W hat eth­ ical issues emerge when we enter a cultural set­ ting different from our own?

These issues may be within domestic, foreign, or international governmental domains. Courses in the con­ centration encompass the development, for­ mulation, implementation, and evaluation of policy. economic analysis, (2 ) political analysis, and (3 ) quantitative analysis. These may each be met by taking one course or seminar in each of the three categories; courses that fulfill these requirements are listed below. REQUIREMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS T h e concentration in public policy may be taken together with a course or Honors exami­ nation major in any field or a minor in the Honors program -A t a minimum, the concen­ tration consists o f 6 credits and an internship. T h e program o f each concentrator should he worked out in consultation with the coordina­ tor o f the public policy concentration and approved by the coordinator, preferably at the same time as majors in the course and Honors programs are planned. T h e public policy concentration consists of 6 credits o f work. Basic academic requirements for the concentration cover three areas: (1) 332 A bsent on leave, 2001-2002. In addition to these three foundation courses, 3 credits must be taken from among the sub­ stantive policy courses listed below, one of which must be the public policy thesis. These courses deal with substantive sectors and insti­ tutional aspects o f public policy analysis. The substantive policy requirement may be fulfilled through courses and seminars. Only 1 credit of a 2-credit seminar can be counted toward the public policy requirements. Please note that seminars are limited in size and that most departments give priority to departmental majors and minors, so public policy concentra­ tors might no t be admitted. In addition, stu­ dents should consider course prerequisites when planning the concentration program. INTERNSHIP Som e direct experience or practical responsi­ bility in the field, through work in a public, pri­ vate, or voluntary agency, is required for grad­ uation with a concentration in public policy. Normally, students will hold internships between their junior and senior years. T he internship program is supervised by the coordi­ nator for the concentration. Planning for the internship experience should begin six to eight months before the time it might commence. The College has developed a network of con­ tacts in Washington, D .C ., and overseas and would like to have qualified students each year to fill positions already identified. Funding for an internship is occasionally provided by the agency in which a person serves. Typically, however, students require support to cover their travel and m aintenance costs during the 8 to 10 weeks o f a summer internship. For students who are concentrators, the College attempts to provide support to those unable to fund themselves, but such support cannot be guaranteed. O ther possible sources of support for an internship include the James H. Scheuer Summer Internships in Environ­ mental and Population Studies, the J. Roland Pennock Fellowships in Public Affairs, the Joel Dean Awards, the Sam Hayes III Research Grant, the Lippincott Peace Fellowships, and the David G . Sm ith Internship in H ealth and Social Policy. Public policy concentration funding for domestic internships will be limit­ ed to $3,000; funding for international intern­ ships will be limited to $3,500. T h e total award from all College sources may no t exceed $3,500. Information on each o f these sources can be obtained in the Public Policy C oncen­ tration Office, 105 Trotter. PUBLIC POLICY THESIS One of the requirements o f the concentration, providing one of the three units o f substantive policy work, is a senior thesis. T h e thesis requirement is designed to provide a structured opportunity to write a substantial paper on a public policy issue. It is especially aimed to allow those who have cultivated (through internships and academic work) a well-devel­ oped understanding o f some policy question to complete research and analysis under the supervision o f the coordinator o f the public policy concentration and one or more other core faculty. Paper topics may focus on nation­ al or international policy issues and may range widely within areas o f competence. Students writing a 1-cred it thesis should regis­ ter for PPOL 097 in the fall o f the senior year; students doing a 2-credit thesis should register for PPOL 097 in the fall and PPOL 098 in the fall or spring o f the senior year. Only 1 credit of the 2-credit thesis will count toward the 6 credits required by the concentration. HONORS PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS Students sitting for Honors may have a minor in public policy in one o f three ways. First, they may complete a 2-credit policy thesis and sub­ m it it as their minor preparation. Second, and alternatively, they may submit for external ex­ amination course or seminar work amounting to 2 credits in the policy concentration. Third, they may combine a 1-credit thesis with a course or seminar. In the second case, they still must do their required concentration thesis. Two-credit work in policy issues might com ­ bine work in two policy courses for which a reasonable examination can be constructed and a suitable visiting examiner recruited. Policy work examined as a minor should meet three criteria: (1) that the policy work fit together in some fashion that is coherent and examinable; (2) that each student should take responsibility for developing the course and/or seminar combination (which will be judged on its practicability by the Public Policy C oncen­ tration Com m ittee); and (3 ) the work must meet the College requirement that the work be outside the student’s major department. In those circumstances in which it is essential to include work from the student’s major depart­ ment, a student can offer a three-unit package o f courses, two o f which must be from outside the student’s major department. Examples of such policy study for a minor in Honors are (1) the combination o f a course on welfare policy and a course on health policy or (2) the com­ bination o f work on economic development and a history or political science class on some region in which development issues are a cen­ tral them e. These are but two illustrative examples. Combinations o f this sort would be arrived at through consultation with the coor­ dinator o f the concentration who could then recom mend them to the com m ittee for approval. T h e requirement that public policy Honors work be done, at least in part, outside the stu- 333 Public Policy dent’s major department is relevant also to those students offering a 2-credit thesis for examination. In the case of a 2-credit thesis, the concentration coordinator will determine that at least half o f the thesis represents work done outside the student’s major department. Policy Courses and Seminars (Arranged by Department)* T h e form o f external exam ination (e.g., 3-hour written exam, oral exam alone) will depend on the nature o f the student’s preparation (e.g., thesis, course, or seminar combination).

T h e Religion Department investigates the phenomenon o f religion through the study of ritual and symbol, myth and legend, story and poetry, scripture and theology, festival and cer­ emony, art and music, and moral codes and social values. T h e department seeks to develop ways o f understanding these phenomena in terms of their historical and cultural particular­ ity as well as their common patterns. courses is normally required for admission to seminars, and is also prerequisite for admission to a major in course or a major or minor in Honors. Courses offered on a regular cycle present the development o f Judaism and Christianity as well as the religions o f India, China, Japan, Africa, Europe, and the Americas. Breadth in subject m atter is complemented by strong m ethodological diversity; questions raised include those o f historical, theological, philo­ sophical, literary-critical, feminist, sociologi­ cal, and anthropological interests. T his m ulti­ faceted focu s m akes religious studies an ideal liber­ a l arts m ajor. REQUIREMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Students are encouraged to begin their study of religion with RELG 001 or one of the courses numbered 001 through 013. (Majors are re­ quired to take at least one o f these courses.) As primary distribution courses, R ELG 001 and R EL G 0 0 8 introduce students to seminal themes and methods in the study o f religion. O ther courses in this group prepare students in comparative, historical, philosophical, literary, and phenomenological approaches to religion. Successful completion o f at least two religion 336 T h e major in religion is planned through con­ sultation with faculty members in the depart­ ment. To ensure breadth in the program of study, all majors must take at least one course from two curricular groups that include the several religious traditions and the varied modes of analysis represented in the department (see “Majoring in Religion at Swarthmore”). Stu­ dents in both course and the Honors program are expected to have taken the background courses required for work in specific seminars. A component o f a major’s program o f study may include study abroad planned in collabo­ ration with the department. In addition to the introductory course and distributional require­ ments, majors are required to complete the religion capstone, RELG 095: Religion Café: Senior Symposium, a weekly symposium for senior majors on important themes, theories, and methods in the comparative, cross-cultur­ al study o f religion. Majors are required to complete at least 8 cred­ its in Religion, including the Senior Sym­ posium, to m eet department graduation requirements. Minors are required to take five religion courses but not the Senior Symposium. MAJOR AND MINOR IN THE HONORS PROGRAM (EXTERNAL EXAMINATION PROGRAM) The normal method o f preparation for the Honors major will be done through three sem­ inars, although, with the consent o f the depart­ ment, a 1-credit thesis/course corhbination or a combination o f two courses (including attach­ ments and study-abroad options) can count for one Honors preparation. In general, only one such preparation can consist of nonseminarbased studies. i I I I I I I I I I I The Honors mode o f assessing a student’s three 2-credit preparations in religion (seminars or course combinations but not 2-credit theses) will be a 3-hour written exam ination set by an external exam iner. In addition, w ith the exception of a thesis preparation, a student will submit to the external examiner a Senior Honors Study (SH S) paper for each prepara­ tion. SH S papers will be approximately 4,000 words and will normally be a revision o f the final seminar paper or, in the event o f a non­ seminar mode of preparation, a revised course paper. Honors minors will be examined on one 2-credit sem inar preparation. T hey are required to complete 5 credits in the depart­ ment but will not take T h e Senior Symposium required for majors. S H S for Honors minors will consist o f one revised seminar paper. Seminars and the written and oral external examination are the hallmarks o f Honors. Seminars are a collaborative and cooperative venture among students and faculty members designed to promote self-directed learning. The teaching faculty evaluates seminar perfor­ mance based on the quality o f seminar papers, comments during seminar discussions, and (where appropriate) a final paper. Because the seminar depends on the active participation of all its members, the department expects students to live up to the standards o f Honors. These standards include attendance at every seminar session, timely submission o f seminar papers, reading o f seminar papers, and completion of the assigned readings before the seminar, active engagement in seminar discussions, and respect for the opinions o f the members of the seminar. Students earn double-credit for seminars and should expect twice the work normally done in a course. T h e external exammation, both written and oral, is the capstone o f the Honors experience. Students enrolled in SH S as majors in Religion will revise one paper for each o f the three preparations (one preparation for minors), with the exception o f a thesis, which has no SH S component, and submit them to the department as part o f their portfolio for the external examiners. Honors majors and minors will register for a half-credit SH S in the second semester o f their senior year. In addition, the department expects students to form their own study groups to prepare for the external exami­ nations. T his is an important extension o f the cooperative and collaborative aspect o f Honors preparation. COURSES RELG 001.

The program o f this department emphasizes that sociology and anthropology are engaged in a common intellectual task. Studies in the department are directed toward understanding the order, meaning, and coherence o f life in human societies and cultures as well as the pressures and contradictions that produce pat­ terns of conflict and change. Courses variously emphasize the comparative study o f societies and cultures, the conditions o f social organiza­ tion as well as disorganization, evolution and the bases of human adaptation, change as well as continuity, gender and culture, and the sym­ bolic aspects o f human social life. Emphasis is also placed on the relevance o f sociology and anthropology to the study o f contemporary and, particularly, Am erican society, and to contemporary social problems. T h e depart­ ment strongly encourages students to carry out their own research and offers internship oppor­ tunities as well as courses in research methods. In addition to exploring the mutuality o f soci­ ology and anthropology, members o f the department and their courses have many links to neighboring disciplines such as biology, edu­ cation, English, history, literature, philosophy, psychology, and religion. T h e department also participates in a special major in linguistics and in the following concentrations for the Class of 2002 and 2003: Asian Studies, Black Studies, Environmental Studies, Francophone Studies, 4 A bsent on administrative leave, 2001-2002. Germ an Studies, and Interpretation Theory and a minor in these same areas for students in the Class o f 2003 and 2004. REQUIREMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Courses numbered SO A N 001 to 0 2 0 serve as points of entry for students wishing to begin work in the department. Enrollment in these courses is unrestricted, and completion of one o f them will normally serve as prerequisite to higher-level work in the department (SO A N 0 21-099). (Some higher courses may, however, with permission o f the instructor, be taken without prerequisite.) Seminars are numbered SO A N 100 to 199. For current seminar list­ ings, please contact our department adminis­ trative coordinator. (N ote: Course labeling within each o f the three tiers of offerings— introductory courses [SOA N 001-019], regular courses [SOA N 020099] and seminars [SOA N 100-199]— reflect internal departmental codes rather than levels o f advancement or particular research areas. Please consult the listings for prerequisites par­ ticular to each course.) Applicants for the major normally have com ­ pleted at least two courses in the department. Majors complete a minimum o f 8 units o f work 345 Sociology and Anthropology in the department, including a double-credit thesis tutorial normally to be taken during the fell and spring semesters o f the senior year. T he Research Design course (SO A N 0 2 I B ) is strongly recommended for m ajors: spring semester o f the junior year is the ideal time to take it, as it offers important preparation for the senior thesis project. Students contemplating teacher certification would normally schedule their program in a semester, which does no t conflict with their senior thesis. Such programs should be devel­ oped in close consultation with advisers in the Education program. T h e department emphasizes the importance of familiarity with appropriate elementary statis­ tics, both for work taken at the College and for subsequent career development. Toward under­ lining this, the department cross-lists Statistics courses 002 and 0 0 2 C (listed as SO A N 010E and SO A N 010F, respectively). M ajor and m inor in the H onors program . Candi­ dates for Honors in sociology and anthropology must complete three Honors preparations, one o f which must be SO A N 180: Thesis. T h e other two preparations may be a seminar, or, with permission, course plus attachm ent, paired upper-level courses, or foreign study. Minors in the Honors program must complete only one preparation, although they must take addition­ al elective work to ensure a proper content for this preparation. See “Majoring in Sociology and Anthropology” for additional information.

Puerto R ico and Cuba share several aspects of their history such as Spanish-Catholic colonial rule, slavery, evangelization, nationalism, and the Spanish-Am erican war yet also differ in the kind o f solutions given to decolonization, capitalism, progress, development, and mod­ ernization. From a comparative perspective, this course will examine, for instance, how the particular social organization o f slavery and evangelization, and the participation in the global economy was differentially implemented in both islands, and to what extent these processes can explain later postcolonial and nationalist developments and interventions. From this vantage point, we will also discuss migration to and from the U nited States and examine how the different geopolitical status o f these islands shape the identity politics of Cubans and Puerto Ricans vis-à-vis the United States and Latin America.

Cruising the Caribbean: From Colonization to Tourism Shaped by transnational desires; the displace­ ment of people from Africa, Asia, Europe, and Latin America; and the intense circulation of goods and ideas since its inception, the Caribbean is a challenge for the multidiscipli­ nary study o f cultural change. In this introduc­ tory course on the Caribbean, we will critical­ ly examine the creolization processes at social, religious, political, economic, and artistic lev­ els. Drawing from works in folklore, history, anthropology, music, religion, and literature, we will ask, for instance, in which ways did the French Revolution propel the creation o f the first Black Republic of Haiti, and the sugar boom boost the formation o f Cuban Santeria? How has the image of the sensuous/threatening mulatta evolved? W hat is the nature o f the national icons o f the Trinidadian carnival and the rhetoric used by the tourism industry in order to package “pleasure islands” for global consumption?

These movements have arisen, in some cases, as a result o f the emergence of new social and political perspectives, such as libera­ tion theology. In other cases, they have formed as reactions to inequality and crises in devel­ opment, such as massive urbanization and the impact o f neoliberal economic policies. This class explores the range of social movements by focusing on their attempts to articulate new visions o f society and culture.

Ethnography: Theory and Practice (Cross-listed as EN G L 0 7 3 A and in Interpretation Theory) The course seeks to explore some o f the salient issues, achievements, and problems that serve to map Western modernity. Beginning with “prophetic voices” from the m id-nineteenth century, we then concentrate on “urban fables” of early twentieth-century high modernism, concluding briefly with late twentieth-century “postmodern lenses.” Texts will be chosen from among the following writers: Marx, Baudelaire, Nietzsche, and Dostoevsky; R ilk e, Kafka, Freud, Joyce, and W oolf; Weber, Sim m el, Adorno, B enjam in , and Lukács; B akhtin, Arendt, C anetti, and de Certeau; Calvino and Borges; and Berman and Harvey. T h e central topics under study are the phenomena of the modem subject and the m odem city, as expressed in literature, analyzed in sociology and critical theory, and represented in a range T his class maps anthropological theories and methods through reading and critically analyz­ ing the discipline’s flagship genre, ethnography. W e work historically by reading classical texts that exemplify different approaches (such as functionalism, structuralism, symbolic anthro­ pology, and reflexive anthropology) used to analyze culture and social structure. W e address questions such as: How did Malinowski under­ stand ethnography? How does this understand­ ing compare to more recent views o f anthro­ pologists such as Geertz? How did the meaning o f field work change over time? W e pay special attention to the politics of representation and the anthropologists’ continuous struggle to find new ways to write about culture. 1 credit. N ot offered 2001-2002.

Ethnoecology offers a way o f look­ ing at the relationship between humans and the natural world, which emphasizes the role of cognition in framing behavior, and offers a powerful perspective from which to understand resource recognition and management. We will use this perspective to investigate the schemas and action plans that orient people in the world and determine the productivity, equity, and sustainability o f their practices.

Poetics and Politics of Speech Genres T his class will familiarize students with the ethnography o f communication, an exciting field of interdisciplinary research that has been growing since the ’70s. In exploring the rela­ tion between language use and the construc­ tion o f social worlds, we will focus on how peo­ ple manage to do things with words. Drawing from studies in linguist anthropology, sociolin­ guistics, literary criticism, and folklore, we will ask, for instance, how geopolitical word battles are scripted in epic genres; politicians play with semantics; artists play with grammar, mediaraised teenagers develop their own cool syntax; a young generation o f urban Latinos in the U nited States empower themselves through Spanglish; and Rastafarians resist colonial con­ sciousness by using Dread Talk.

Everything humans do is culturally construct­ ed. Our experiences o f health, illness, and healing are no exception to this. This course examines the cultural construction o f health, illness, and healing by looking at (mainly) anthropological treatments o f these issues. Case materials will be drawn from a number of cultures, non-W estern as well as Western, and will treat the intersection o f non-W estern and Western healing systems. W e’ll wind up with an anthropologically informed, social histori­ cal look at the biomedical model that domi­ nates the modem Am erican experience of health, illness, and healing. T his class explores how different societies reg­ ulate, discipline, and shape the human body. In the first part, we examine theories o f the body and how they have evolved over time. In the second part, we focus on in-depth ethnograph­ ic cases and compare diverse cultural practices that range from the seemingly traditional prac­ tices, such as circumcision, foot binding, and veiling to the currently fashionable, such as piercing, tattooing, dieting, and plastic surgery. By comparing body modification through space and time, we ask questions such as: Is contem­ porary anorexia similar to wearing the corset during the 19th century? Is female circumci­ sion different from breast implants? Furthermore, we investigate how embodiment shapes personal and collective identities (espe­ cially gender identities) and vice versa. 1 credit. Spring 2 0 0 2 . Ghannam. N ot offered 2001-2002.

It explores debates in social theories and looks at ethnographic cases (texts and films) that reveal the complex articulation between global forces and “local” contexts. Is the eco­ nom ic and political domination o f the West translated into global cultural hegemony? How is locality produced? How can we study and conceptualize the relationship between the local and the global?

W e first take a quick look at the history o f Islam and its basic concepts (such as shari’a, umma, jihad, and sufism). T hen, we explore how Muslims negotiate their religious beliefs and cultural identities in different soci­ eties. W e look at historically Muslim countries (such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Indonesia) and trace the recent movem ent (through migration and conversion) o f Islam and Muslims to W estern countries (U nited States and Europe). W e use films, printed texts, and Internet material to explore questions such as: How do Muslims work to maintain their reli­ gious identities in New York, Berlin, and Paris? How compatible is Islam with modem notions such as nationalism, democracy, feminism, and human rights? How is Islam used to establish and reinforce transnational (including but not limited to political) connections? 1 credit. Not offered 2 0 0 1 -2002. Ghannam. SOAN 050B. Global Cultures: Issues of Hybridity and Creolization in Postcolonial Societies One of the main aims o f this course is to ques­ tion the unidirectionality implied in most global theories. Via a combined macro and micro lens, we will assess no t only the impact of global processes on particular local histories but also how the sets o f voices that are margin­ alized by global discourses reenter them, speak­ ing within and to them. From this vantage point, we will examine the notions o f hybridi­ ty, creolization, and diaspora. T h e first part of the course will exam ine m ajor theoretical issues of globalization, and the second will test their applicability and validity in exploring particular processes in postcolonial societies. 1 credit.

The Only Good Indian The arrival o f Europeans in the New World a half a millennium (or longer) ago initiated, for Native Americans, a litany o f cultural catastro­ phe that continues to this day. So also did it initiate a complex process o f cross-cultural communication and mutual adaptation that repeatedly confounded th e intentions and expectations o f parties in both cultural camps. From an anthropological perspective, this course treats this process, as it took place North off the R io Grande River, attending especially to the issues, tradition, mutual accommodation, resistance, revitalization, and modernity.

These ethnogra­ phies are conducted in Western cities such as New York, London, and Paris as well as cities in other parts o f the world such as Cairo, Casablanca, Bombay, Sao Paolo, and Shanghai. W e read these ethnographies to (1) discuss dif­ ferent techniques and approaches used to study urban cultures and identities; (2 ) examine how the collection o f data relates to anthropologi­ cal theories and methods; (3) explore how research in cities shape the field o f cultural anthropology.

Culture, Power, Islam This seminar will be an interdisciplinary inves­ tigation into the shifting manners by which Islam is multiply understood as a creatively mystical force, a canonically organized reli­ gion, a political platform, a particular approach to economic investment, and a secular but powerful identity put forth in interethnic con­ flicts, to name only a handful o f incarnations. Though wide ranging in our theoretical per­ spective, a deeply ethnographic approach to the lived experience o f Islam in a number of cultural settings guides this study. 2 credits. Spring 2 0 0 2 . Ghannam and Grant. SOAN12 7. Race Theories Contemporary theories o f race and racism by sociologists such as W inant, Gilroy, Williams, Gallagher, Ansell, Om i, and others will be explored. Concepts and controversies explored will include racial identity and social status, the question o f social engineering, the social construction o f justice, social stasis, and change. U nited States is focus o f course but other countries will be examined. W ithout exception, an introductory course on race and/or racism is a prerequisite. 2 credits. Not offered 2001-2002. W illie.

Empirical studies o f both a historical and cross-cultural nature will be examined for the ways in which they engage alternative readings o f such issues as the nature and representations o f work, property, body, and mind in revealing and reproducing social inequalities. T h e approach is partly phenome­ nological: how are inequalities made social and how are they disrupted? 2 credits. N ot offered 2001-2002. Wagner-Pacifici. SOAN 180.

T h e program in Women’s Studies provides stu­ dents with the opportunity to leam the contri­ butions o f women to society, science, and the arts; to study gender and gender roles in a vari­ ety o f social and historical contexts; to relate issues o f gender to those o f race, class, and sex­ ual preference; and to explore new methods and theories arising from interdisciplinary study. W om en’s Studies encourages students to exam ine critically the representations o f women in religion, in the arts and literature, in social and political theory, and in the sciences. Students in any major, whether in course or in the Honors program, may add a concentration in W om en’s Studies to their program by fulfill­ ing the requirements stated below. Students in the Honors program may minor in W om en’s Studies or design a special major in consulta­ tion with the W omen’s Studies coordinator, following the guidelines outlined below. A ll students intending to pursue W om en’s Studies should submit their proposed program to the coordinator when they submit their sophomore papers. A ll program proposals must be approved by the W om en’s Studies Committee. T h e Jean Brosius W alton ’35 Fund and the Wendy S . Cheek Memorial Fund contribute to the support o f activities sponsored by the W omen’s Studies Committee. Studies is an interdisciplinary program, the courses (or seminars) in each concentration must be selected from at least two different divisions. Students may elect, with the ap­ proval o f the coordinator, to write a 1-credit thesis or pursue an independent study as a sub­ stitute for regular course work. Students may also, with the approval o f the coordinator, include in their programs courses on women and gender offered at Bryn Mawr, Haverford, the University o f Pennsylvania, and abroad. If the institution in which the course was offered has a Women’s Studies program, the course in question must be part o f that program to be accepted as a W om en’s Studies course at Swarthmore. Students will normally take the senior seminar in the spring semester o f the senior year. It is recommended that potential concentra­ tors take W M S T 001: Introduction to Women’s Studies in their first or second year. Students graduating in the year 2003 or later may elect to do a course minor in Women’s Studies. T h e requirements for the course minor are identical to those for the concentration, with one exception: only one course counted for W om en’s Studies may overlap with the stu­ dent’s major. HONORS PROGRAM CONCENTRATION OR COURSE MINOR Each concentration must include a minimum o f 5 credits in W om en’s Studies. O ne course must be the senior seminar. Because W om en’s 362 Students in the Honors program may minor in W om en’s Studies by completing 6 credits in W om en’s Studies and preparing for and taking one external exam. T h e preparation consists of W M ST 091: Seminar in W omen’s Studies for seniors plus the 1 'credit W M S T 091 A : Honors Attachm ent to Seminar in W omen’s Studies. Courses on women and gender regularly offered for the concentration include the following: WMST 001. Introduction to Women’s Studies An interdisciplinary course designed around an issue central to women’s lives and the repre­ sentation o f women’s experiences. T h e course introduces students to concepts, questions, and analytic tools that have been developed by Women’s Studies scholars in diverse fields. WMST 091 A .

Women and Technology The course will explore the relationships between women and technology in western industrial society. Three aspects to be consid­ ered are the effect of technology on women, the role of female technologists in shaping that technology, and the effect on technology of average women acting as consumers, voters, and citizens. Students will research an area of personal interest and make a presentation to the class. Possible topics include reproductive technologies, the Internet, feminist utopias in science fiction, and others. Expected workload is two long papers and several short ones, with no midterm, final, or labs. W M ST 0 30 does no t fulfill a College-wide dis­ tribution requirement. However, it can be used to satisfy the distribution requirement for the concentration. 1 credit. Spring 2002. Everbach. WMST 091. Seminar in Women’s Studies An advanced seminar emphasizing theoretical and methodological questions that arise when women are placed at the center o f study and in which students engage in research projects based upon their prior work with gender in the various disciplines. T his class is required of, and normally limited to, W om en’s Studies con­ centrators and special majors. It must be taken in the senior year and cannot be used to fulfill distribution requirements in the concentra­ tion. 1 credit. Spring 2002. Staff. B IO L 006.
