It is a small col­ lege by deliberate policy. Its present enrollment is about 1,400 men and women students. T he borough o f Swarthmore is a residential suburb within half an hour’s commuting distance of Philadelphia. College students are able to en­ joy both the advantages of nearby rural settings and the opportunities offered by Philadelphia. T h e College’s location also makes possible co­ operation with three nearby institutions, Bryn Mawr and Haverford colleges and the Univer­ sity 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 ac­ tivities. 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 O F 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 Program offers additional enriching and excit­ ing 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 10 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 th e Religious Society o f Friends (the Quakers). Although it has been nonsectarian in control since 1908, and although Friends now compose a small minority o f 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 o f disputes. T h e College does not seek to impose on its students this Quaker view o f life or any other specific set o f 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. Educational Resources The primary educational resources o f any col­ lege are the quality of its faculty and the spirit of the institution. Financial as well as physical resources play an important supportive role. THE ENDOWMENT The 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 $950 million at market value on June 30, 2001. Swarthmore ranks 12 th in the country in endowment per student. Income from the endowment during the academic year 2000 -2 0 01 contributed approximately $ 2 9 ,0 0 0 to m eet the total expense o f educating each student and provid­ ed about 3 9 percent o f the College’s operating revenues. The College’s ability to continue to offer a high quality o f 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 m aintain 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 lifeincome contracts in which the donor reserves the right to the annual income during his or her lifetime. LIBRARIES The library is an active participant in the instructional and research program o f the College. T he primary mission o f the library is to instruct students in effective, efficient use of the library and to encourage them to develop 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 o f source materials than is typically found in undergraduate libraries. Further needs are met through interlibrary loan, document delivery, and other cooperative arrangements. Reference service is where research begins. Reference specialists guide patrons in formulat­ ing research strategies and in gaining access to the information and materials contained in the library’s vast electronic and print collections. T h e ever-growing amount o f on-line resources has created a variety o f new library services including Virtual Library, an online “reference service.” T h e library also provides direct cur­ ricular support through an extensive reserve reading and honors collection, a continually increasing proportion o f which is available on­ line. T h e Swarthmore College libraries, together with those o f Bryn Mawr and Haverford col­ leges, are linked through Tripod, their shared online 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 nline 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. T h e College continues to add to its already consid­ erable digital library o f e-joum als (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 periodicals. T h e College partici­ pates in the Federal and Pennsylvania Depos­ itory Library Program and selects those govern­ m ent documents most appropriate to the needs o f the curriculum and the public and catalogs 11 Educational Resources them in Tripod. T h e library also houses an extensive interdisciplinary audiovisual collec­ tion, including 4 ,0 0 0 videotapes and DVDs, more than 13,000 classical and jazz music recordings, and 1,400 spoken word recordings of dramatic and poetic literature. T h e video collection includes U .S. and foreign classic films as well as educational, documentary and experimental films. T h e collections are housed in three libraries. T h e Thomas B. and Jeannette L. M cCabe 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 of 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 he Friends H istorical Library, founded in 1871 by Anson Lapham, is one of the outstanding collections in the U nited States o f manu­ scripts, books, pamphlets, and pictures relating to the history o f the Society of Friends. The 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.

PHYSICAL FACILITIES When Swarthmore College opened in the fall of 1869, it consisted of one building— Parrish Hall— set on farmland and serving 199 stu­ dents. Today, it encompasses more than 40 buildings used by 1,400 students on 330 acres. The College provides an impressive range of modem facilities for students’ intellectual growth, cultural enrichment, and physical and social development. A t the same time, it main­ tains an intimate campus exemplifying the concept of academic study in an idyllic setting. Intellectual Growth Parrish H all, the original College building, still lies at the heart of 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 omen’s Studies, Black Studies, and Asian Studies; the W riting Center; and sever­ al classrooms and seminar rooms. A t the center o f the building is the T arble Atrium , an inspir­ ing wooden staircase crafted from cherry and birch with expansive landings on each level that function as student lounges and are sup­ plied with seating and computer hookups. Views from this building overlook the Rose Garden to the south and the Nason Garden and Outdoor Classroom to the north. K ohlberg H all, an entirely new academic build­ ing completed in 1996, features spaces for use by the entire College community on the ground floor, including a lounge complete with a coffee bar and fireplace; the Scheuer Room, a popular place for lectures and gatherings with a window wall and modem audiovisual equip­ ment; and the Cosby Courtyard, a dramatic outdoor space with a lawn panel and stone sit­ ting walls that double as an outdoor classroom. O n the upper two floors are modem classrooms and intim ate seminar rooms, a language resource center, and faculty offices. Kohlberg Hall— home to the M odem Languages and Literatures, Econom ics, and Sociology/Anthropology Departments— demonstrates that a new building with award-winning architectur­ al design can be integrated into an established campus. N ext door to Kohlberg lies the Lang Perform ing A rts C en ter, home to the English, Dance, and Theater 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. Hicks, B eardsley, and P earson halls are clustered together on the north end of 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. Completing the cluster of north campus academic buildings is Papazian H all, which houses the Psychology and Philosophy departments. T h e Science C en ter will physically link the departments o f Biology, Chemistry, Computer S cien ce, M athem atics and Statistics, and Physics and A stronomy and the C ornell Scien ce Library to foster interaction and 13 Educational Resources exchange among scientists and to meet the expanded space needs o f th e sciences at Swarthmore College. T h e project involves additions and alterations to the D uPont Science Building, M artin H all, and Cornell Library, and new construction linking them with an 80-seat lecture hall, a 120-seat auditorium, and a com­ mons area. T h e project was designed and is being constructed using criteria developed by the U .S . G reen Building Council to produce a sustainable design that will provide opportuni­ ties for education about the environment and environm ental responsibility. T h e S cien ce Center will open in several phases. Major mile­ stones are Science Commons, February 2003; Chemistry Department, July 2003; Biology Department, Novem ber 2003; Physics and Astronomy, May 2004; and Mathematics and Statistics and Computer Science, June 2004For further information about the Science Center and to view recent construction pho­ tographs, please visit the project W eb site at http://sciencecenter.swarthmore.edu. In 1999, the M artin G reenhouse was renovated so it can support a broader research program. Sproul O bservatory, with its 24-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 o f all physical facilities, the College recognizes the importance of employing environmentally sound practices and acknowledges its commit­ m ent to current and future societies. A n exam­ ple o f Swarthmore’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 14 in the Chemistry and the Physics and Astron­ omy departments. A specialized multimedia facility in Beardsley gives faculty a place to try out new technology and create presentations 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 th eir rooms. Any M acintosh connected to the network can be used to gain access to electronic mail, bulletin boards, the World Wide W eb, Tripod (the library system shared with Bryn Mawr College and Haverford College), and a variety o f 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. Some of these file servers also contain an assortment of shareware and public domain software. A computer repair service is located in Beards­ ley. T h e College Bookstore sells a variety of software at very reasonable prices. T h e repair service provides on-campus repair services for student-owned computers. T h e Telecommunications Department of the Computing C enter 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. Housed in Trotter Hall, the C en ter fo r Social ¡md Policy Studies works with a variety o f local organizations and stakeholders to further human capital development in the City of Chester, whether through indirect technical assistance services or the provision o f direct services, such as program evaluation, assistance with grant-writing, and technological assis­ tance and support. In addition, the center is a respected convener o f scholars, policy makers, journalists, community activists, and students working to provide leadership in ameliorating urban problems. For students, the center aims to tie academic learning to “real-world problem solving”; pro­ vides a rich “hands-on” experience in the broad field o f social and public policy; and through their research, education, outreach, and advocacy activities, students have an opportunity to put into practice the convic­ tions of “ethical intelligence” as they work with residents in the Chester community. Cultural Enrichment The Lang M usic Building, opened in 1973, con­ tains an auditorium seating nearly 40 0 while providing an expansive view into the Crum Woods. It also is home to the D aniel Underhill Music Library, classrooms, practice and re­ hearsal 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 Center (LPAC) opened in 1991. T h e building contains Pearson-Had T heater, with a seating capacity of 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 a cinema theater seating more than 300 and a theater space of about equal seating capacity. The stage o f the theater may also be trans­ formed from its traditional configuration into a thrust stage. The Frear Ensem ble T heater on the lower level of the LPAC is another more intimate theater, a “black box” that serves as an experimental and instructional studio as well as the Patricia Witky Boyer 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 collection 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 of the campus to support a wide range of sports, including rugby, field hockey, lacrosse, and baseball. 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 fit­ ness pavilion. Ample open lawn areas, an inte­ gral part o f the Swarthmore College campus, accommodates and inspires a range o f 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 at 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 Com m ons a level up; Tarble in C lothier, with a snack bar, game room, the college bookstore, a large all-campus space used for dances and other events and P aces, a student coffeehouse; the Intercultural Center, 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 III, a student-run art association; and O lde C lu b, the party place. 15 Educational Resources 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 collection o f trees, shrubs, and her­ baceous plants through the provisions of the Scott Arboretum, established in 1929 by Mrs. Arthur Hoyt Scott and Owen and Margaret M oon as a memorial to Arthur Hoyt Scott of the Class o f 1895. T h e plant collections are designed both to afford examples o f 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 gardener and to beautify the campus. A ll collections are labeled and recorded. There are exceptionally fine dis­ plays of hollies, Japanese cherries, flowering crabapples, magnolias, tree peonies, lilacs, rhododendrons, azaleas, and daffodils. Choice specimens from the collections 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 Court­ yard, the Nason Garden and outdoor class­ room, and the Metasequoia A llée. Many inter­ ested donors have contributed generously to the collections, and the arboretum is funded primarily by outside grants and restricted endowment funds with a combined market value o f $19.3 m illion as o f June 30, 2001. 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 o f 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 Swarthmore students. These workshops, lectures, and classes are designed to cover many facets o f 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 of the Scott 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 16 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, Hybrid, serves to publicize their activities and provides up-to-date information on seasonal gardening topics. Maps for self-guided tours and bro­ chures o f the arboretum’s plant collections are available at the Scott Offices (610) 328-8025, located in the Cunningham House. T h e Scott Arboretum was accredited by the American Association of Museums in 1995, signifying its professional standards o f opera­ tion as an arboretum.

GENERAL STATEMENT In the selection o f 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 o f 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 o f 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 o f their academic achieve­ ment and commitment to intellectual inquiry as well as their individual future worth to soci­ ety and o f their collective contribution to the College. It is the College’s policy to have the student body represent not only different parts o f the United States but also many foreign countries; public, independent, and religiously affiliated schools; and various economic, social, reli­ gious, ethnic, and racial backgrounds. T he College is also concerned to include in each class the sons and daughters o f alumni and members of the Society o f 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. Homeschooled students should make every effort to complete the application process with appro­ priate substitutions for standard support mate­ rials. A descriptive list of all subjects taken and a personal statement describing the applicant’s home schooled experience is strongly recom­ mended. Students who have already completed a tertiary degree are not eligible for admission to Swarthmore College. A ll 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. 3. SAT-I or A C T scores. 4. Three SA T-II scores, one o f which must be the SAT-II W riting test. Applicants consid­ ering a major in engineering are strongly encouraged to take the SAT-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. T h e College is also inter­ ested in strength o f character, promise of growth, initiative, seriousness o f purpose, dis­ tinction in personal and extracurricular inter­ ests, and a sense o f social responsibility. T he College values the diversity that varied interests and backgrounds can bring to the community. PREPARATION Swarthmore does not require a set plan o f 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: T. Accurate and effective use o f the English language in reading, writing, and speaking. 2. Comprehension and application of the prin­ ciples o f mathematics. 3. T h e strongest possible command o f 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 history and social studies; literature, art, and music; and math­ ematics and the sciences. Variations of choice and emphasis are acceptable, al­ though some work in each of the three groups is recommended. 25 Admissions Those planning to major in engineering should present work in chemistry, physics, and four years o f mathematics, including algebra, geom­ etry, trigonometry, and calculus. W inter Early Decision Closing date for applications Notification of candidate Jan. 1 by Feb. 1 Regular Decision Closing date for applications Notification of candidate APPLICATIONS AND EXAMINATIONS Candidate reply date 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 Ja n .l deadline, but the application should be submitted as early as pos­ sible to create a file for the candidate to which supporting material will be added up to the deadline. 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 ch oice. O n applying to Swarthmore College, Early Decision candidates may not file early decision/early action applications at other colleges, but they may file regular appli­ cations at other colleges with the understand­ ing that these applications will be withdrawn on admission to Swarthmore College. Any Early Decision candidate not admitted will receive one o f two determinations: a defer­ ral of 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 of 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: Fall Early Decision Closing date for applications Notification o f candidate 28 Nov. 15 by Dec. 15 Jan. 1 by 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 o f admissions, and students must con­ firm their plans for the year by June 1. The dean of admissions may choose to review other requests on 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 on a student maintaining his or her standard o f academic achievement before enrolling at the College. A n offer o f admission is also dependent on a student’s continued demonstration of 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 ap­ plying as first year or transfer students, admis­ sion to Swarthmore is determined without regard to financial need. Information concern­ ing financial aid is on pp. 31-46. THE INTERVIEW A n admissions interview with a representative o f 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 are encour­ aged to complete the interview prior to sub­ mitting an application to the College. Those who can reach Swarthmore with no more than a half-day’s trip are urged to make an appoint­ ment to visit the College for this purpose.* Other students may contact the Admissions Office in the fall o f their senior year to request a meeting with an alumni representative in their own area. Interviews with alumni representatives take longer to arrange than inter­ views on campus. A s a result, applicants living in the U nited States must request an alumni interview by Nov. 15. A pplicants living overseas must request an alumni interview by Jan. 1. syllabi; and reading lists in order that the course work may be evaluated by the depart­ m ent 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. Arrangements for on-campus or alumni inter­ views can be made by writing to the Office of Admissions or by calling (610) 328-8300 or (800) 667-3110. INTERNATIONAL ADMISSIONS ADVANCED PLACEM ENT 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, higherlevel 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 and may become juniors in their second year. To qualify for advanced standing, a student must do satisfactory work in the first semester, obtain 14 credits by the end of the first year, intend to complete the degree requirements in three years, and signify this intention when she or 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 either advanced placement or credit must provide an official transcript from the institution attended as well as written work (papers, examinations); 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 o f the U nited States with the following exceptions: 1. Admission is not need-blind. Students must submit additional financial documentation to the Financial Aid Office. Applying for financial aid places the student in the most selective subgroup o f the total application pool regardless of the parental contribution. 2. Dem onstrated proficiency in English is required o f those for whom English is not their first language. This may be in the form o f a standardized test for non-native speak­ ers o f English, such as TO EFL or AP1EL, superior academic achievement in a school where English is the language o f instruction, or a portfolio o f graded English writing sam­ ples in conjunction with the ELPT. A l­ though not required, an interview on campus or with a College admissions representative overseas is considered to be very helpful. 3. Required SAT-I and SAT-11 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 Swarth­ more College by the appropriate application deadline. 4. It is the applicant’s responsibility to guaran­ tee the authenticity of all submitted creden­ tials. This includes notarized translations of official documents and certified school tran­ scripts 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. 27 Admissions APPLICATIONS FOR TRANSFER T h e College welcomes well-qualified transfer students. Applicants for transfer must have had an outstanding academic record in the institution attended and must present transcripts for both college and secondary school work, including an official statement indicating that the student is leaving the institution attended in good standing. Students who have complet­ ed the equivalent o f two or more semesters of university-level work must apply for transfer admission. Admission status for students who have completed less than the equivalent o f two semesters o f university-level work will be decided on a case-by-case basis. Transfer appli­ cants 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 o f the senior year. Applications for transfer must be filed by April 1 of 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 4 0 of this catalog. 28 Expenses STUDENT CHARGES Total charges for the 2002-2003 academic year (two semesters) are as follows: Tuition $27,272 Room 4,376 Board 4,154 Student activities fee 290 $36,092 These are the annual charges billed by the College.

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. About 9 9 percent o f the fi­ nancial aid awarded by the College is based on demonstrated financial need and is usually a combination o f scholarship, loan, and campus employment. T h e College is committed to meeting all demonstrated financial need, and demonstrated need is assessed by a careful re­ view o f families’ financial circumstances. In 2002-2003, Swarthmore students need an av­ erage o f $24,400, thus, to meet that need, our average award is $24,400. A prospective student must apply for aid and outside assistance when applying for admission to Swarthmore. However, admission and finan­ cial aid decisions are made separately. Instruc­ tions for obtaining and filing an application are included in the admissions application. Finan­ cial assistance will be offered if a family does not have the capacity to meet College costs. The amount a family is expected to contribute is determined by weighing the family’s income and assets against such demands as taxes, living expenses, medical expenses, and siblings’ un­ dergraduate tuition expenses, etc. Family con­ tribution also includes a $1 ,4 5 0 to $1,890 sum­ mer earnings contribution as well as a portion of the student’s personal savings and assets. For 2002-2003, the College bill, which in­ cludes tuition, room, and board, and a compre­ hensive fee, will be $36,092. T his comprehen­ sive fee covers not 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 $37,960. This allows $1,868 for books and per­ sonal expenses. A travel allowance is added to the budget for those who live in the United States but more than 100 miles from the College. In keeping with the policy o f basing financial aid upon demonstrated need, the College re­ views each student’s financial situation annual­ ly. Each student who would like to be consid­ ered for our support for the next year must sub­ mit a new financial aid application midyear. A student’s aid is not withdrawn unless financial need is no longer demonstrated. Assistance is available only during a normal-length under­ graduate program (eight semesters) and while a student makes satisfactory academic progress. These limitations are also applied in our con­ sideration of a sibling’s undergraduate educa­ tional expenses. Students who choose t a live off campus will not receive College scholarship or College loan assistance in excess o f their College bill. However, the cost of living off campus will be recognized in the calculation of a student’s financial need, and outside sources of aid may be used to help meet off-campus liv­ ing 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 of our Board, reaf­ firmed its need-blind Admission Policy and the related practice o f meeting the demonstrated financial need o f 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 o f 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 cannot be considered after admission. A special brochure has been prepared to advise families o f the various sources o f 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, http//financialaid. swarthmore.edu. SCHOLARSHIPS For the academic year 2002-2003, we awarded more than $14 m illion in Swarthmore scholar­ ship funds. About one-half o f that sum was provided through the generosity o f alumni and 31 Financial Aid friends by special gifts and the endowed schol­ arships listed on pp. 32-44. It is not necessary to apply for a specific College scholarship. T h e College decides who is to receive endowed scholarships, and others are helped from gener­ al scholarship funds. Although the qualifying criteria for awarding most endowed scholar­ ships remain general, some donors have estab­ lished explicit guidelines that closely mirror the interests of the individual for whom the scholarship is named. However, financial need is a requirement for all College scholarships unless otherwise indicated. T h e federal gov­ ernment also makes Pell Grants and Supple­ mental Educational Opportunity Grants avail­ able to eligible students. LOAN FUNDS T h e College is able to meet the financial needs of each student through long-term, low-inter­ est loan funds with generous repayment terms combined with Swarthmore’s scholarship pro­ grams. Although most offers o f support from the College include elements o f self-help (campus work and borrowing opportunities), the College strives to keep each student’s debt at a manageable level. Aided students are expected to meet a portion of their demonstrated need (from $1,000 to about $4,500 each year) through the federal Stafford Loan Programs, Perkins Loan, or the Swarthmore College Loan (SC L ). T h e 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 m ent o f the debt if the borrower goes on to graduate school. Up to 10 years may be taken to repay Stafford, Perkins, or SCLs. N o sepa­ rate application is needed for the Perkins or SC L loans because the College administers these funds. Stafford Loan applications must be initiated by the student with a bank. Parents who wish to borrow might consider the Federal PLU S Loan. Up to $37,000 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. 32 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 EM PLOYM ENT 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 partment offices, the post office and the stu­ dent-run coffeehouse. Placem ents can be arranged when students arrive in the fall. Oncampus rates o f pay run from $7 to $7.50 per hour. Students receiving financial aid are usu­ ally offered the opportunity to earn up to $ 1,490 during the year and are given hiring pri­ ority, 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 damaging their academic performance. Stu­ dents are encouraged no t to work more than seven or eight hours weekly. Off-campus placements in public or private, 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 federal funds are sufficient) for students who qualify under the federal C ollege W ork-Study Program. Hospitals, schools, museums, and social service agencies, and local, state, or federal govern­ ment agencies are suitable employers.

Swarthmore seeks to help its stu­ dents realize their fullest intellectual and per­ sonal potential combined with a deep sense of ethical and social concern.” Although the College places great value on freedom o f ex­ pression, it also recognizes the responsibility to protect the structures and values o f an academ­ ic community. It is important, therefore, that students assume responsibility for helping to sustain an educational and social community where the rights of all are respected. T his in­ cludes conforming their behavior to standards o f conduct that are designed to protect the health, safety, dignity, and rights of all. T he College community also has a responsibility to protect the possessions, property, and integrity of the institution as well as of individuals. T h e aim o f 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 C ol­ lege property or at College-sanctioned events that take place off campus. In situations in which both the complainant and accused are matriculated Swarthmore students, however, College policies and jurisdiction may apply re­ gardless o f the location o f the incident. In the event that a student organization violates a college regulation, the organization, as well as its individual members, can be held account­ able for the violation and sanctioned by the College. Finally, students should realize they have the responsibility to ensure that their guests do no t violate College policies, rules, and regulations while visiting and that stu­ dents 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 o f the College’s faculty or staff, or a 48 College department. If the alleged incident represents a violation o f federal, state, or local law, the complainant also has the option of ini­ tiating proceedings in the criminal or civil court system regardless o f 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 no t intended to provide an exhaustive list of all possible infractions. Students violating any of 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 Academic Freedom and Responsibility T h e following is excerpted from T he Faculty H andbook (Section II.A .2): Swarthmore College has long subscribed to the fundamental tenets o f academic freedom artic­ ulated in the 1940 Statem ent o f Principles on Academic Freedom and Tenure by the Ameri­ can Association of 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 of which are reproduced below. T h e complete texts o f the association’s 1940 and 1970 state­ ments may be found in A .A .U .P. publications. 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 of 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 tionship. Faculty members may not refuse to enroll or teach students on the grounds of their beliefs or the possible uses to which they may put the knowledge to be gained in a course. The 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 of political activism, or personal beliefs. If a student has a grievance against a faculty member th at can not 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. Academic M isconduct The following procedures were adopted by the faculty on Feb. 16, 2001, and are excerpted from T he Faculty H an dbook (Section II.B .7): I. Considering A cadem ic Misconduct C ases i. Academic misconduct is defined as a vi­ olation of the college’s standards of academic integrity whether these violations are inten­ tional or unintentional. ii. T h e C ollege Judiciary Com m ittee (CJC) will adjudicate academic misconduct cases. iii. In academic misconduct cases the dean of the College, who chairs the C JC , acts as a neutral procedural facilitator, not as an advo­ cate or a judge. T h e dean o f the College, as chair, and the associate dean for student affairs, as observer, are ex officio, nonvoting members of CJC. 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: a. Som e of the student’s work coincides with or closely paraphrases a source that is not 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 of the student’s work that have been based on it. b. Glaring coincidences in the work of students 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 evi­ dence to the student and may, at the instruc­ tor’s discretion, invite the department chair to be present. iii. A fter this meeting, if the instructor’s suspicions are not allayed, the instructor will submit a report to the College’s associate dean for student life. T h e report will include a nar­ rative of the incident and evidence supporting the charge. iv. T h e associate dean will provide copies of the report to all faculty members of the C JC including alternates, and will call a preliminary meeting of the faculty members o f the C JC for the purpose of determining the merits of the case. If in the judgment of this group there are sufficient grounds to warrant a hearing, the as­ sociate dean will schedule the hearing at a time mutually convenient to the committee mem­ bers of the C JC and the student charged with academic misconduct. T h e associate dean will inform the student o f the charge and his or her right to have a support person present at the hearing. T h e support person may be a fellow to 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 de­ fendant 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 o f the previ­ ous years’ cases and their disposition. 49 College Life III. Sanctions i. T h e C JC will consider the case, make a finding of guilty or not guilty on the basis of the preponderance o f the evidence, and deter­ mine an appropriate sanction if a finding of guilty is reached. ii. In determining a sanction, the commit­ tee will consider all the circumstances o f the case, including the intent o f the student, the character and magnitude o f the offense, the considered evidential judgment o f the faculty member bringing the accusation, and mitigat­ ing circumstances. It is the opinion o f the fac­ ulty that for an intentional first offense, failure in the course normally is appropriate. Suspen­ sion for a semester or deprivation o f the degree in that year may also be appropriate when war­ ranted by the seriousness o f the offense. iii. For a second offense, the penalty nor­ mally 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 h e decision o f the appeal committee is final. T he committee may confirm the decision o f the C JC , reduce or increase the sanctions, or dis­ miss the original charges. V. Inform ing Faculty A nd Students A bout Sw arthm ore’s. A cadem ic M isconduct Policy T h e integrity o f a liberal arts education de­ pends on the principle of academic integrity. Educating the community about the Academic Misconduct Policy is essential to the educa­ tional goals o f the College. Both students and faculty will be regularly in­ formed about the College’s Academic Miscon­ duct Policy, in a variety o f ways including by their instructors or advisers, by the Dean’s Of­ fice, and by means of statements in such places as the College catalog, faculty and student handbooks, the College W eb site, departmen­ tal or divisional handouts, etc. Discussion of the policy may also be part o f such sessions as orientation for first-year students in the fall, orientation for new faculty, and in writing as­ sociate and student academic mentor training. 50 Students must finally take the responsibility for understanding the rules with respect to proper citation o f sources and the College’s academic misconduct policy. Standard Citatum Practices 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 o f being charged with plagiarism need not inhibit anyone from appropriately using anoth­ er’s ideas or data in a piece of 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 o f 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 oby-D ick..." Such usage is fully within the tradition of forthright academic work. Submission of the Same Work in M ore T han One Course 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 Ethics Students may no t hinder the educational opportunity o f other students by behavior such as removing, hiding, or defacing educational materials. Statement on Computing Use o f 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 College policies specific to use o f the comput­ er systems and networks, which are described in the following sections. 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. By users, this document refers to all who use the computers, networks, and peripherals owned or operated by the College, or who gain access to third-party computers and networks through the College’s system, whether these individuals have regular accounts or are system adminis­ trators. 1. Users o f services operated by Swarthmore College have the following obligations and responsibilities: a. To respect software copyright. T h e copy­ ing or use o f copyrighted software in violation of 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 action. 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 of regu­ lar operations. d. Not to send forged e-mail (mail sent under another user’s name) 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 occasionally issue guidelines to the use o f shared resources. Because Swarthmore College provides and maintains these systems to further its academic mission, using computers for nonacademic pur­ poses has low priority. f. To avoid engaging in any activity that may reasonably be expected to be harmful to the systems operated by the College or a third party or to information stored upon them. W hen a system vulnerability is discovered, users are expected to report it to a system ad­ ministrator. Violations of these rules that come to the at­ tention of IT S will be referred as appropriate to the offices of 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. Som e o f the above rules and guidelines have been adapted from earlier statements in the Sw arthm ore C ollege Student H andbook and horn materials made available from the Electronic Frontier Foundation, in- 51 College Life eluding the policy statements o f the American Association of University Professors, Columbia University, the University of Delaware, the U niversity o f Southern C alifornia at Los Angeles, and Virginia Tech University. False Information, M isrepresentation, and Identification A student may no t knowingly provide false in­ formation or make misrepresentation to any College office. Students are obligated to pro­ vide College personnel with accurate identifi­ cation on request. Forgery, Fraud, and Unauthorized Possession In addition to the forgery, alteration, or unau­ thorized possession or use of College docu­ ments, records, or instruments o f identifica­ tion, forged communications (paper or elec­ tronic mail) are prohibited. Intimidation 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 tempts to use intimidation or retaliation against someone who reports an incident, brings a complaint, or participates in an investigation in an attempt to influence the judicial process will be subject to serious sanctions. Harassment 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. Students may not engage in physical violence against others. Those who do will be subject to serious sanctions. D efinition, principles, and 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 o f 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 tar­ g e ts ) by substantially interfering with their educational opportunities, peaceful enjoyment of residence and community, or terms of em­ ployment. Further, to count as harassment sub­ je ct 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. Su ch 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 of the same kind, and re­ peated. There are two reasons for adding (e): 1 Derisive, mocking, ridiculing, or jeering ex­ pression. disregarding the effects of one’s expression in these respects. 2 . Violence, Assault, Intimidation, and H arassm en t (for sexual violations see Sexual Misconduct) Swarthmore College seeks to maintain an en­ vironment o f mutual respect among all its members. A ll forms o f 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 o f community vital to the College’s education­ al enterprise. T his statement o f policy should no t be taken to supersede the Colleges com­ m itm ent 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 of expression, fundamen­ tal to an exchange o f views, carries with it corollary responsibilities equally basic to rea­ soned debate. Violence and Assault 2 Forceful defaming or degrading expression with intent to make the target o f the offend­ ing expression vile or shameful or recklessly 52 3 Subjecting one to public shame that nor­ mally cause feelings of inferiority or loss of self-respect. 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 formal grievance procedures, it must be clear that no substantial free expression interests are threatened by bringing a formal charge o f ha­ rassing expression. This strict criterion 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 of 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 o f 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. S talking Stalking is a form of harassment, which, fol­ lowing the Pennsylvania Criminal Code, oc­ curs when a person engages in a course o f con­ duct or repeatedly commits acts toward anoth­ er person, including following the person with­ out proper authority, under circumstances that demonstrate either o f 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 of sexual misconduct may be handled according to either informal or formal proce­ dures. Regardless o f whether or not 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 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 of sexual misconduct, whether formal or informal. These records will be kept confi­ dential to the extent permitted by law. Sexual Assault and Abuse 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 o f the body or with clothes covering intimate body parts w ithout the consent o f the person touched. Sexual assault includes but is not lim­ ited to sexual penetration of 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. Consent. 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- 53 College Life 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 o f people whose judgment and control are impaired. Sexual Harassment T h e following definition is based on that for­ mulated by the Federal Equal Opportunity Commission. Sexual harassment, a form o f dis­ crim ination 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 o f federal law (Title V II o f the C ivil Rights A ct o f 1964, T t l e IX o f the Education Amendments o f 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. D efinition. Sexual harassment is o f 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, o f creating an intimidating, hostile, or demeaning educational, employment, or living environ­ m ent 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 o f campus life (harassment creating a hostile environment); (b) any action in which submission to conduct o f a sexual nature is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition o f 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 54 dents that makes it possible for quid pro quo harassment to occur between them. D escriptions. Sexually harassing behaviors dif­ fer in type and severity and can range from sub­ tle verbal harassment to unwelcome physical contact. Sexual harassment includes but is not limited to (a) unwelcome verbal or physical advances, 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 of 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, the equal opportunity officer, or others trained in this area for support, clarifica­ tion, and to discuss options for informal resolu­ tion 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 o f 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 feet 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 of 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, the equal opportunity of­ ficer, or another person trained in this area. It is important to remember that any member of the community can be guilty of sexually ha­ rassing any other member regardless of 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 of these individu­ als in no way limits a student’s options for res­ olution nor commits the student to a particular course of action. T h e College also provides support when requested through the Dean’s Office to those students charged with sexual misconduct. There are specific rights for com ­ plainants of sexual misconduct and for those students accused of sexual misconduct; these rights are listed in detail in the Student H andbook. In addition, students are encour­ aged to discuss their concerns with a dean when deciding whether to file a formal com­ plaint. the campus specified by Student Council and the dean. T h e observance of 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 o f alcohol or other drugs is not an ex­ cuse for violation of the Statement o f Student Rights, R esponsibilities, and C ode o f C onduct and does not reduce a student’s accountability. For a complete description o f the College’s A lco­ holic Beverage Policy guidelines, please see the section in the Student H andbook. T h e use, possession, or distribution of injurious drugs or narcotics without the specific recom­ mendation o f a physician and knowledge of the deans subjects a student to possible suspension or expulsion.

T he College policy governing faculty and the re­ lated grievance procedure can be found in the Faculty H andbook. 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 of equipment plus the cost o f re­ placement of equipment is charged to any stu­ dent violating this regulation, and further dis­ ciplinary action may be taken. Any 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 of this policy occurs in a res­ idence hall, all residents of that residence hall are subject to fines and charges for costs in- 4.

Students are financially responsible for any damages resulting from reckless con­ duct or violation of college rules regulating res­ idence hall safety. Firearm s; Fireworks 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 not allowed in any student res­ idence or in any College building.

Theft or Damage T heft 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 of 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 56 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 N o student may park an automobile on College property without permission from the Car Authorization Comm ittee, a student-ad­ ministration group. 6.

A guest is not permitted to stay in a residence h all more than four consecutive nights. Requests for exceptions must be made to the director o f residential life. Student hosts are responsible for the conduct of their guests on campus and will be held ac­ countable for any violation of 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 not 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. Violation 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.

A pending appeal o f a conviction shall not affect the application of this rule. portant element in education. Most students live in College residence halls. New students are required to live in the residence halls. I Residence Halls STUDENT JUDICIAL SYSTEM The formal judicial system at Swarthmore College has two main components: (1) adjudi­ cation by individual deans o f minor infractions of College regulations, where a finding o f guilt would result in a sanction less severe than sus­ pension; and (2 ) adjudication by the C JC of se­ rious infractions of College regulations, includ­ ing all formal charges o f academic dishonesty, assault, harassment, or sexual misconduct. T he CJC is composed of faculty, staff, and adminis­ trators who have undergone training for their role. 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 sanction(s) imposed on a student. Sanctions are cu­ mulative, increasing in severity for repeat of­ fenders. Notational sanctions are recorded per­ manently on the back o f the students record card but do not appear on the face o f the acad­ emic record. Therefore, an official transcript of an academic record, which is a copy o f the face of the record card, does not reflect notational sanctions. N on-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 of 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 of action. A more complete description of 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 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 five- 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, Pittenger, and Roberts halls on South Chester Road; the upper floors in the wings of 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 of her mother and aunts; Woolman House; and W orth Hall, the gift of William P. and J. Sharpies Worth, as a memor­ ial to their parents. About 85 percent of residence hall areas are designated as coeducational housing either by floor, section, or entire building. T h e remain­ ing areas are single-sex housing. Although sin­ gle-sex options are offered, they are not guar­ anteed. Students should not expect to live in single-sex housing for all four years. In these single-sex sections, students may determine their own visitation hours up to and including 24-hour 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 o f 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, whereas juniors arid se­ niors have a wider selection o f room types. A ll students 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 57 College Life deans to reside outside College housing. Resident assistants, selected from the junior and senior classes, are assigned to each o f the residence hall sections. These leaders help create activities for students, serve as support advisers 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 va­ cation. N o meals are served during October and spring breaks. A t the end o f the fall se­ mester, students are expected to vacate their rooms within 24 hours after their last sched­ uled examinations. Freshmen, sophomores, and juniors are expected to leave immediate­ ly after their last examination in the spring so that their rooms may be prepared for use by commencement visitors. Storage areas are provided in each residence hall plus a limitedaccess storage room for valuables. T h e insurance program for the College is de­ signed to provide protection for College prop­ erty and does not include the property o f stu­ dents or others. Students and their parents are strongly urged to review their insurance pro­ gram in order to be sure that coverage is ex­ tended to include personal effects while at college. More detailed housing rules and regulations are found in the Student H andbook, updated and distributed each year, and in the G uide to the H ousing L ottery, published before the spring housing lottery. Sharpies Dining Hail A ll students living on campus are required to subscribe to the College Board Plan for meals in Sharpies Dining Hall. Students living off campus may purchase the board plan if they wish or a $400 debit card is available from the dining services. W ithin the contracted 20meal program, each student has access to three admissions to Sharpies Dining Hall Monday through Saturday and two admis­ sions on Sunday, based on our weekly meal programming. Dining Services offers a 14meal plan with a $ 1 0 0 declining balance per semester for sophomores, juniors, and seniors. There are 14 meals offered per week that can be used for a meal at Sharpies or Essie Mae’s in Tarble in exchange for meal credit. T h e 58 $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. Although an effort is made to meet the di­ etary needs o f all students, not all special re­ quirements can be accommodated. Permis­ sion to reside off campus after their first year at Swarthmore will be extended to students not able to participate in the Board Plan. The dining hall is closed during the fall, winter, and spring breaks. SOCIAL CENTERS Tarble Social Center Through the original generosity o f Newton E. Tarble o f the Class o f 1913 and his widow, Louise A . Tarble, the reconstructed Tarble Social Center in C lothier 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 of a student activities coordinator, student co-directors, and the Social Affairs Committee, many major social activities (par­ ties, concerts, plays, etc.) are held in Tarble. Other Centers 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 o f direc­ tors to bring together women o f 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 of 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, TV 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 o f 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 plu­ ralism. 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 Web site at www.swarthmore.edu/admin/bcc/, or contact us at (6 1 0 ) 328-8456. The Intercultural Center (IC ) is a multipurpose center devoted to developing greater awareness of Asian American, Latino/Hispanic, gay/lesbian/bisexual, and Native American contribu­ tions to Swarthmore College as well as the broader society. T h e IC provides a supportive environment where students are welcomed to discuss and understand the educational, politi­ cal, and social concerns th at affect their groups. T he IC fosters the education o f its members and the wider community about cul­ tural, ethnic, class, gender, and sexual orienta­ tion differences. Through co-sponsoring pro­ grams and building alliances with the adminis­ tration, other campus groups and departments, the IC increases diversity and respect for dif­ ferences at all levels o f campus life. T h e Resource Center will include Asian American, Hispanic/Latino/a, N ative A m erican and queer books, journals, films, videos, scholar­ ships, academic resources and alumni outreach information such as the alumni database, alum­ ni mentor program, and alumni speaker series. The IC center and its programs are directed by Director Rafael Zapata. See the IC W eb site at www.swarthmore.edu/admin/IC, or telephone (610) 328-7360. The director, interns, and the administrative assistant are responsible for the center’s pro­ gramming and operational functions. T h e IC 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 (610) 328-7350. Adjunct centers. There are two ftatem ities 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 College social program. T hey receive no College or student activities funds. T h e frater­ nities maintain separate lodges on campus that they rent from the College. T h e lodges do not contain dormitory accommodations or eating facilities. New members usually jo in fraterni­ ties after at least one semester at the College. In recent years, about 7 percent o f male stu­ dents have decided to affiliate with one o f the fraternities. RELIGIOUS ADVISERS Religious advisers are located in the Interfaith Center in Bond Hall and currently consist of Jewish, Catholic, and Protestant professionals. T h e advisers and the Interfaith Center provide members o f the Swarthmore community op­ portunities and resources, in an atmosphere free from the dynamics o f 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 of many faiths also exist for the purpose of 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 Worth Health Center T h e W orth Health Center, a gift of the W orth family in memory of William 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 o f Psychological Services staff, and rooms for students who require inpatient care. Psychological Services is administered sepa­ rately from the Health 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 59 College Life W orth Health Center is closed. T h e College contracts with the Crozer Key­ stone H ealth System for physician services. Should in-hospital treatment be indicated, one of these consultant physicians will oversee the care if the student is admitted to Crozer Chester Medical Center, a medical schoolaffiliated teaching hospital. Insurance Students may consult the medical facilities of the College when ill or injured in athletic ac­ tivities or otherwise, free o f charge. T h e C ol­ lege cannot assume financial responsibility for medical, surgical, or psychological expenses in­ curred when seeking or referred for care else­ where. For this reason, we expect students to be responsible for these expenses and to be in­ sured through family or other plans. Insurance plans should provide some coverage for pre­ scription medications. For those who have not health insurance or whose insurance does not meet our specifications, we offer a functional plan at a cost o f $665 for the year beginning Aug. 17, 2002, through Aug. 17, 2003. Stu­ dents receiving financial aid may have a por­ tion o f the cost o f the premium defrayed. Students and family are responsible for medical expenses incurred while students are enrolled at the College. Students who have no insur­ ance, or students with insurers who have no local office or arrangements with local HMOs, do not provide for emergency and urgent care locally, do no t cover hospital admissions local­ ly, or do not provide coverage while studying abroad should enroll in the College Plan. T he College provides health insurance for students who are actively participating in intercolle­ giate and club sports. For further information, please consult the insurance leaflet mailed to all students at the beginning o f each academic year, the W orth 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 part of the admission process, each student 60 must submit a medical history and health cer­ tificate prepared by a personal or school health care provider. T h e Health Center provides a health certificate in the pre-admission packet for your convenience. Pertinent information such as medical or psychological problems, al­ lergies, handicaps, medications will be espe­ cially valuable to the College Health Service when assisting each student. A ll information is kept confidential. Each student is allowed 10 days in-patient care without charge in the infirmary each academic year. Students suffering from communicable disease, such as chicken pox, may no t remain in their residence hall room and must stay in the infirmary or go home for the duration of their illness. T h e H ealth Center each academ­ ic year dispenses up to $300 in various medica­ tions without charge, but we do charge for spe­ cial medications, contraceptives, immuniza­ tions, and certain laboratory tests. Students are responsible for securing transportation to offcampus appointments, although the nurses will assist with arrangements. T h e Health Center staff works closely with the Department of Physical Education and Ath­ letics. Students who need to defer from a por­ tion o f the physical education requirement, such as the swim requirement, must provide medical documentation to the director of the H ealth Center, who will evaluate the request and make a recommendation for an alternative plan. 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 of Psychological Services comprises a diverse group o f psychological, social work, and psychiatric professionals. T h e director and staff collectively provide regular appointment times Monday through Friday. Students may be re­ ferred to outside mental health practitioners at their request or when long-term or highly spe­ cialized services are needed. W e maintain a strict policy o f confidentiality except where there may be an imminent threat of life or safety. Requests for service may be made in person or by phone (x8 0 5 9 ) 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 of Absence, Withdrawal, and Réadmissions (pp. 82-83). For more detailed information about our ser­ vices, please check our pages on the World Wide Web at http://swarthmore.edu/Admin/deans/psychservices.html. STUDENT ADVISING Academic Advising Each first-year student is assigned to a faculty member or administrator who acts as the acad­ emic adviser. W hen students are accepted by a major, normally at the end o f the sophomore year, the advising responsibility shifts to the chair, or chair’s designate, o f the student’s major department. Requests for a change of ad­ viser in the first two years will be freely grant­ ed, for example, when a student’s substantive interests change subject only to equity in the number of advisees assigned to individual ad­ visers. The deans hold overall responsibility for the advising system. They are available to all stu­ dents for advice on any academic or personal matter and for assistance with special needs, such as those arising from physical disabilities. Academic Support Various forms o f academic support are avail­ able to help all students succeed in their course work. These include a Student Academic Mentoring program open especially to firstyear students, tutors, special review selections and clinics attached to introductory courses in the natural sciences and economics, a mathe­ matics lab, a multiday study skills workshop, a multiday reading workshop, and training ses­ sions on time management and test taking. No fees are required for any o f these services. Particular support is available to help students develop their writing skills. W riting associates (WAs) are students who have been specially trained to assist their peers with all stages of the writing process. WAs are assigned on a. regular basis to selected courses, and they are lo­ cated in the W riting Center in Trotter Hall. A ll students have access to the Writing Center as needed and can receive help via e-mail and on a drop-in basis. Career Services T h e Career Services Office works with stu­ dents to help them develop knowledge of themselves, o f careers, and of 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. Indi­ vidual counseling and group sessions help stu­ dents expand their career options through ex­ ploration of their values, skills, interests, abili­ ties, and experiences. Programs are for students 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, and 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 in helping students locate and secure appropriate jobs, in­ ternships, and volunteer opportunities and to gain the most they can from these experiences. Sophomore and junior students, in particular, are encouraged to test options 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 o f vacation. Additional help is provided through career in­ formation panels and presentations, atten­ dance at off-campus job and career fairs, field trips to work sites, workshops on topics such as resume writing and cover letter writing, inter­ viewing skills, and job search techniques. T he office cooperates with the Alumni Office, the Alumni Association, and the Parents Council to help put students in touch with a wide net­ work of people who can be o f assistance to them. T h e Career Services library includes many publications concerning all stages o f the job search process. T h e office hosts on-campus recruiting by representatives from business, in- 61 College Life dustry, government, nonprofit organizations, and graduate and professional schools. Access is provided to the programs and information of Experience.com, an on-line provider o f recruit­ ing and career information. On-campus and off-campus recruiting processes are managed through eRecruiting.com software. N otices of job vacancies are collected, posted, and made available to students, alumni, and the campus community. T h e office maintains a significant W eb site to make information about many of its activities and programs available to students wherever they are around the world. Creden­ tial files are compiled for interested students and alumni to be sent to prospective employers and graduate admissions committees. STATEMENT O F SECURITY POLICIES AND PROCEDURES Swarthmore College’s Statem ent of Security Policies and Procedures is written to comply with the (PA) College and University Security Information A ct — 24 P.S., Sec. 2502-3© , and th e federal “Jean n e Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics A ct.” T his annual report includes statistics for the previous three years concern­ ing reported crimes that occurred on campus, in certain off-campus buildings owned or con­ trolled by Swarthmore College, and on public property within or immediately adjacent to and accessible from the campus.

T h e Budget Comm ittee, made up o f 10 appointed members, a treasurer, and two assistant treasurers, allocates and administers the Student A ctivity Fund. T h e Social Affairs Comm ittee (S A C ) allocates funds to all cam­ pus events, maintains a balanced social calen­ dar, and is responsible for organizing formals and various other activities that are designed to appeal to a variety o f interests and are open to all students free o f charge. S A C consists of 10 appointed members and two co-directors who are hired by the Concessions Committee. Music T h e Music Department administers and staffs several performing organizations. T he C ollege C horus, directed by Joh n Alston, rehearses three hours per week. T he C ollege C ham ber C hoir, a select small chorus drawn from the membership o f the chorus, rehearses an addi­ tional two hours twice a week. T he C ollege O rchestra, directed by Daniel A . Wachs, re­ hearses once a week. T he C ham ber O rchestra gives one concert each semester. Its rehearsals closely precede the concert, and its members are drawn from T h e College Orchestra. The O rchestra (C ham ber O rchestra), Chorus (Chamber C hoir), and Jazz Ensemble require auditions for membership. T he W ind Ensem ble, which rehearses one night weekly and gives two major concerts each year, is under the di­ rection o f M ichael Johns. T he B aroque En­ sem ble, directed by Richard Stone, meets each week and gives two conceits during the year.

Instrumentalists and singers can also partici­ pate in the chamber music coaching program coordinated by M ichael Johns. Several student chamber music concerts (in which all interest­ ed students have an opportunity to perform) are given each semester. These concerts also provide an opportunity for student composers to have their works performed. The Swarthm ore C ollege String Q uartet, com­ posed o f four outstanding student string players who also serve as principal players in the College Orchestra and Chamber Orchestra, performs frequently at the College and else­ where. We offer academic credits in conjunction with subsidies to support private instrumental and vocal lessons for qualified students; please refer to p. 87 (Awards and Prizes and Fellowships) and p. 285 (Music Department, M U SI 048). The Orchestra each year sponsors a Concerto Competition, open to all Swarthmore College students. Auditions for the competition are normally held immediately after winter vaca­ tion. T he winner performs the entire concerto with the orchestra at its spring concert. Practice and performance facilities in the Lang Music Building include 16 practice rooms (most with at least one piano), a concert and a rehearsal hall (each with its own concert grand), two organs, and one harpsichord. T h e Daniel Underhill Music Library has excellent collections of scores, books, and records. porary music, is in residence at the College. Under the direction o f Professor o f Music James Freeman, the group gives an annual se­ ries o f four or five concerts in the Lang Concert Hall, exploring music o f the present timé and often including recent works by composers at the College. World renowned soloists are fea­ tured, and student musicians are often invited to perform with the ensemble. Dance T h e Swarthmore College Dance Program, di­ rected by Stephen Lang Professor of Perform­ ing Arts Sharon Friedler, strives to foster a co­ operative atmosphere in classes and perfor­ mance situations. T h e Swarthmore College Dancers and the Dance and Drum Ensemble regularly perform public concerts with works choreographed by students, the dance faculty, and other profes­ sional choreographers. Each year, there are a series o f formal concerts at the end o f each semester as well as informal performances throughout the year, sometimes including a series o f exchange concerts with other area colleges. Lecture demonstrations for public schools and for organizations within the surrounding communities are also a regular part o f the yearly dance performance schedule. In conjunction with the William J. Cooper Foundation, the Dance Program brings out­ standing professional dance companies to cam­ pus for short-term residencies. These residencies typically last from three days to two weeks and include master classes, lec­ tures, performances, and, sometimes, the cre­ ation of a new work by a guest artist for student performers. T h e residencies funded for 20022003 will include C h u ck Davis and the African American Dance Ensemble, Kariamu and Company, Traditions, and R ennie Harris Pure Movement. T h e student organization, Dance Forum, also sponsors classes, workshops, and performances. The William J. Cooper Foundation presents a distinguished group of concerts each year on the campus. T h e Department of Music and Dance administers a separate series o f public concerts. Scholarships for summer study are available to dance students through funds provided by the Friends o f Music and Dance. T h e Halley Jo Stein Award for Dance and the M elvin B.

Interested students should consult the departmental statement for theater. T h e Theater Department provides a variety of cocurricular opportunities for interested stu­ dents. Students interested in acting are en­ couraged to participate in student-directed projects in the program’s directing workshops taught by A llen Kuharski or Ursula Denzer (TH EA 035 and 05 5 ) and the Senior Com­ pany class (TH EA 0 9 9 ). T h e program also hires qualified students every semester for a va­ riety of jobs related to curricular production projects and other functions. T h e Lang Per­ forming Arts Center Office is another poten­ tial source o f theater-related student employ­ ment. For information, contact Susan Smythe. Professional internships are strongly recom­ mended to theater majors and minors and are available at theaters throughout the Philadel­ phia area and around the country. See profes­ sors A llen Kuharski or W illiam Marshall for details. 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 of 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 of the varsity athletic teams. T hey work closely with the teams, at­ tending practices and many of the scheduled contests. Extracurricular Activities There is a great variety o f extracurricular life more fully detailed in the G uide to Student L ife. T h e more than 100 student organizations range in scope from Student Council to Am ­ nesty International to W SR N (the student radio station). Social, athletic, political, cul­ tural, and community groups also provide stu­ dents with a wealth of opportunity and choice. 64 T h e College encourages students to participate in whatever activities best fit their personal talents and inclinations. Publications and Media T he Phoenix, the weekly College newspaper; the H alcyon, the college yearbook; and W SR N , the campus radio station are completely stu­ dent-run organizations. In addition, there are more than 14 other student publications, in­ cluding literary magazines and newsletters. T h e current list of publications can be found in the G uide to Student L ife. OUTREACH PROGRAMS The Swarthmore College TRIO/ Upward Bound Program TRIO/Upward Bound develops young leaders and offers academic and cultural enrichment activities to high school students in the sur­ rounding community and primarily the city of Chester. T h e primary goal o f this national pro­ gram is to prepare urban high school students for postsecondary education. T h e TRIO/Upward Bound Program at Swarth­ more College began in 1964 and continues with federal support from the U .S. Department o f Education. More than 1,200 T R IO programs exist on college campuses throughout the U nited States. TRIO/Upward Bound is one of the oldest and most active community out­ reach programs at Swarthmore College. TRIO/Upward Bound offers both a six-week residential summer school in which Swarth­ more students may serve as tutor/counselors and a series o f activities during the academic year in which Swarthmore students serve as tu­ tors. For more than 3 0 years, Swarthmore Col­ lege students have volunteered time to success­ fully tutor and mentor hundreds o f TRIO/ Upward Bound participants. T h e program is administered by a full-time project director, C. Kemal N ance. THE OFFICE OF COMMUNITY SERVICE LEARNING PROGRAMS vice and social change projects, including the Martin Luther King Day o f Service, class pro­ jects, and initiatives by student organizations. One of the College’s most tangible examples of its commitment to foster a deep sense of 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, lo­ cated in Parrish Hall Room 294, connects community-articulated needs with students, faculty, and staff interested in making a differ­ ence. It also promotes student leadership in de­ velopment and implementation of communitybased initiatives. T h e office, which is staffed by Director Patricia James, coordinates communi­ ty-based service and learning initiatives o f stu­ dents, faculty, and staff and is a liaison between the College and community partners. C IV IC (C ooperative Involvem ent o f Volunteers in Com m unities). T h e office works closely with C IV IC , a coalition of student-led organizations engaged in a wide array of service efforts in Chester and the Greater Philadelphia metro­ politan area. C IV IC is coordinated by the C IV IC Council, composed of leaders from each organization, and several at-large members. Community-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. The Chester Road O rien tation Program (CROP) 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. Activities 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.

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 Scholars and coordinates the Lang Opportunity O pen Competition, which pro­ vides grants o f up to $ 1 0,000 to conduct more substantive service and social change projects. The John W. Nason Community Service Fellowship T h e Jo h n W. N ason Comm unity Service Fellowship celebrates th e contribution 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 of the Class of 1945 in anticipation of their 50th reunion. Summer of Service: Let Your Life Speak George Fox said to his Quaker congregation, “Let your life speak.” During the summer of 2000, the College initiated a program called Summer o f Service, pairing 25 students with paid community service internships and giving them the opportunity to “let their lives speak.” T h e 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. 66 ALUM NI RELATIONS Alumni Relations is the primary communica­ tion link between the College and its alumni, enabling them to maintain an ongoing rela­ tionship with each other. Som e o f the office’s programs and activities include Alum ni Week­ end, an Alumni College, alumni gatherings all over the country, and alumni travel. The Alumni Office hires students as interns and to help at alumni events on campus. T h e Alum ni Office works closely with Career Services to facilitate networking between stu­ dents and alumni and among alumni, to take advantage o f the invaluable experience repre­ sented among the alumni. T h e Alumni Office also helps officers o f the senior class and alum­ n i groups plan special events. T h e Alumni Office gives staff support to the Alumni Association, which was founded in 1882, and to the Alum ni Council, the govern­ ing body o f the Alumni Association. The Alumni Office also gives staff support to re­ gional alum ni and parent groups, called Connections, in Austin, Texas; Boston; Char­ lottesville, Va.; Chicago; Los Angeles; Metro DC/Baltimore; M etro N Y C; North Carolina; Paris, France; Philadelphia; Pittsburgh; San Francisco; and Seattle. There are 18,813 alumni: 9,664 men, 9,085 women, and 1,227 married to each other, giv­ ing substance to the traditional appellation for the College o f the “Quaker M atchbox.” The 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 a magazine sent free o f charge to all alumni, parents, friends, and members of the senior class. O ther publications produced by the office include an annual engagement cal­ endar, a report o f donations to the College, a parents newsletter, a faculty-staff newsletter, and this catalog. Members o f the publications staff and a student intern provide editorial, photographic, graphic design, and print pro­ duction services to other offices on campus. NEWS AND INFORMATION The Office of News and Information works with the faculty, students, and staff to commu­ nicate information about Swarthmore to the public, primarily through media relations. T h e office publicizes campus events, programs, and research and works to position faculty members as expert news sources. T h e office also responds to information requests from the media, initi­ ates coverage of Swarthmore in the media, and leads the development and maintenance of the College W eb site. T h e News and Information Office prepares two publications. On Campus, a monthly schedule of campus activities that are open to the public, is distributed on request to more than 2,000 households in the Phila­ delphia area. T he W eekly N ew s, a newsletter of events and announcements, is distributed to faculty, staff, and students. T h e office lends support for special events and projects and pro­ vides public relations counsel for the College. 67 IV Educational Program Faculty Regulations Degree Requirements 68 Awards and Prizes Fellowships Educational Program GENERAL STATEMENT Swarthmore College offers the degree o f bach­ elor of 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 of resident study are normally required for a bachelor’s degree (see p. 85), but variation in this term, particularly as a result o f Advanced Placement (AP) credit, is possible (see p. 27). The selection of a program will depend on the student’s interests and vocational plans. T he primary purpose o f a liberal arts education, however, is not to provide vocational instruc­ tion, even though it offers the best foundation for one’s future vocation. Its purpose is to help students fulfill their responsibilities as citizens and grow into cultivated and versatile individ­ uals. A liberal education is concerned with the development of moral, spiritual, and aesthetic values as well as analytical abilities. Further­ more, just as a liberal education is concerned with the cultural inheritance o f the past, so, too, it is intended to develop citizens who will guide societies on a sustainable course where future culture will not be compromised in the development o f the present. Intellectually, it aims to enhance resourcefulness, serious curiosity, open-mindedness, perspective, logi­ cal coherence, and insight. majors and minors to encourage enhancement and integration of the honors preparations. A t the close of the senior year, candidates for hon­ ors will be evaluated by visiting examiners. In spring 2000, the faculty voted to make minors available to all students, whether hon­ ors or not and to place a limit on the number o f majors and minors a student can pursue. Students in the Class o f ’04 and thereafter will be governed by the rules of the new program of major(s) and minor(s). Students in the Class of ’03 may choose to follow the old program or the new program. For details o f the old and new programs, see “M ajors, M inors, and Concentrations.” T h e program for engineering students follows a similar basic plan, with certain variations explained on p. 160. Courses outside the tech­ nical fields are distributed over all four years. T h e freshmen and sophomore course advisers are members of 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 FRESHM EN AND SOPHOMORES During the first half o f their college program, all students are expected to satisfy most, if not all, of 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 of four courses each semester, chosen by the student in consultation with his or her faculty adviser. T he major goals of the first two years of a Swarthmore education are to introduce stu­ dents to a broad range of 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. All students must fulfill the requirements for the major, and before the end of the senior year, students are required to pass a compre­ hensive examination or its equivalent, given by the major department. To meet the d istrib u tio n req u irem en ts, a stu d en t m ust: 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 that provide opportunities for further exploration. During the senior year, many departments offer a spe­ cially designed senior honors study for honors 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 of which can be A P credit or credit awarded for work done elsewhere. 3. Take at least 2 credits of the 3 credits in each division that are in different departmen­ tal subjects and are also designated primary dis­ tribution courses. This will make a total o f six primary distribution courses, each in a different 69 Educational Program 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 Sciences and Engineering: Biology, Chem ­ istry, Computer Science, Engineering, Mathe­ matics and Statistics, Physics and Astronomy. S ocial S cien ces: Classics (ancient history), Eco­ nom ics, 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 o f both the power and the limits o f each disci­ pline within a broader system o f knowledge. In recognition o f the importance of writing as an integral part o f 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 he requirement o f six primary distribution courses must be satisfied by courses taken at Swarthmore and, with the exception o f literature courses taught in a language other than English, will normally be completed before the student enters the junior year. A ny course credit in a division (with the exception o f EN G L 0 0 1 B and music courses numbered 04 0 -0 5 1 ) may be chosen as the third distribution course in that division, including A P credit or credit awarded for work done elsewhere. Courses th at are cross-listed between two 70 departments in different divisions may (with the permission o f the instructors, departments, and divisions involved) fulfill the distribution requirement in one of 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 o f the course on the academic record; (3) in neither of 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 o f the departmental disciplines). T h e distributional status o f such courses is nor­ mally indicated in the catalog description for each course. Students who have been granted credit and AP in two departments in the same division for work done prior to matriculation at Swarthmore will be exempted from one primary dis­ tribution requirement in that division on the condition that they take an additional course in one o f those departments. They will be exempted from bo th primary distribution requirements in that division on the condition that they take an additional course in each of those departments. Students who enter Swarthmore as transfer students with 8 credits of col­ lege 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 primary dis­ tribution com ponent 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. 85). 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 o f the social sciences should be aware of the increasing importance o f mathematical background for these subjects. In the freshman and sophomore years, all stu­ dents no t excused for medical reasons are required to com plete a four-quarter (two semester) program in physical education. The requirements are stated in full on p. 84. 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 of his or her adviser, prepare a reasoned plan of study for the last two years. This plan will be submitted to the chair of the student’s proposed major as a part o f the application for a major. Acceptance will be based on the student’s record and an estimate of 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 are individually responsible for planning and adhering to programs and for the completion of graduation requirements. Faculty advisers, department chairs, other faculty members, the deans, and the registrar are available for infor­ mation and advice. PROGRAMS FOR JUNIORS AND SENIORS The major goals of 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. The breadth of exposure, acquisition o f skills, and development of 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 of courses within the major and courses taken outside the major that serve to expand and deepen the student’s perspective on the major. All 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 requirement in the major department, must fulfill other specific departmental require­ ments. T he requirements for acceptance to departmental majors and for completion of them are specified in this catalog under the respective departmental listings and are de­ signed to ensure a comprehensive acquain­ tance with the field. T h e completion of two majors is allowed, depending upon the permis­ sion of both departments of the proposed dou­ ble major for the student. Triple majoring is not allowed. A student must accumulate 20 course credits outside his or her major, but there is no other limit on the number o f cours­ es 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. Some areas, such as bio­ chemistry, 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 of 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 of 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 of 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, omitting some o f the breadth requirements o f the m ajor field. However, course requirements central to sys­ tematic understanding o f the major field will not be waived. Students with special majors must com plete th e m ajor comprehensive requirement, which may consist of a thesis or other written research project(s) designed to integrate the work across departmental bound­ aries or a comprehensive examination. By extension, special majors may be formulated as jo in t majors between two departments, nor­ mally with at least 5 credits in each depart­ m ent and 11 in both departments, which, in such programs, collaborate in advising and in the comprehensive examination. Students are not allowed to pursue more than one individu­ alized special major. During the junior and senior years, students are advised by the chair of the major department (or a member of the department designated by the chair) whose approval must be secured for the choice o f courses each semester. 71 Educational Program M AJORS, MINORS, AND CONCENTRATIONS 3. Students may have one or two minors, if they have only one major. 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. a. A minor may be completed in course or as part o f an Honors Program. T h e timing and implementation o f the new program in course minors was left to the Curriculum Comm ittee. T h e committee has decided that students in the Class o f ’04 and thereafter will operate under the rules o f the new program, which 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 tw o. T h e 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 ajors) and Concentrations) 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 limit is typically one or two. New Program: M ajors) and Minors) 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. 72 b. M ost departments and programs offer course minors. Those departments or programs that do no t offer course minors under the new program are Com parative Literature, Economics, Political Science, Sociology and Anthropology, and Studio A rt. (These depart­ ments or programs will continue to offer hon­ ors 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 women’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. The exceptions to the overlap rule are as follows: Exceptions T he overlap constraint is not applicable to courses that departmental m ajors or m inors must take in other departm ents. F or exam ple, m athem atics courses required fo r an engineering m ajor are not autom atically excluded from a m inor defin ed by the M athem atics and Statistics D epartm ent. 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 major as part of a double major is not violating the constraint. HONORS PROGRAM The Honors Program, initiated in 1922 by President Frank Aydelotte and modified most recently in 1994, is a distinctive part of Swarthmore’s educational life. The 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. other original work. Grades for theses and other similar projects will be given by external examiners. Except in the case of theses or other original work, modes of 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 of each preparation. Specific formats for preparations and for senior honors study are available in each department office. 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. 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 a formal application for a specific program of honors preparation to the Registrar’s Office. 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 of 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. T h e decision of the departments or interdisciplinary programs will depend on the proposed program of study and the quality o f the student’s previous work as indicated by grades received and on 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. Normally, Honors programs may not be changed after Dec. 1 o f a student’s senior year, depending on departmental policies. Students may no t with­ draw from honors after Dec. 1 of the senior year except under extraordinary circumstances and with the permission of the major and minor departments and the Curriculum Com ­ mittee. Further information about honors poli­ cies may be found in the Student H an dbook o f P olicies and Procedures fo r the H onors Program , which is available in the Registrar’s Office. All preparations will be graded by Swarthmore instructors with the exception o f theses and A t the end o f the senior year, the decision of the honors degree to be awarded the candi- Students and their professors work in collegial fashion as honors candidates prepare for evalu­ ation by external examiners from other acade­ mic institutions and the professional world. Although Swarthmore faculty grade most of the specific preparations, the awarding of honorifics on a student’s diploma is solely based on the evaluation of 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 of 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 examination 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 or four preparations in a special or interdisci­ plinary major will be exempted from compre­ hensive exams in those majors. 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. 73 Educational Program dates is entirely in the hands o f the visiting examiners. Upon their recommendation, suc­ cessful candidates are awarded the bachelor’s degree with honors, with high honors, or with highest honors. loads, p. 29). Full-time leaves o f 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 opportunities for those taking a leave is available through the College Venture Program in Career Services. EXCEPTIONS TO THE FOUR-YEAR PROGRAM NORMAL COURSE LOAD Although the normal period o f uninterrupted work toward the bachelor o f arts and bachelor o f science degrees is four years, graduation in three years is freely permitted when a student can take advantage o f A P credits, perhaps combining them with extra work by special permission. In such cases, students may qualify for advanced standing— they may becom e juniors in their second year. To qualify for advanced standing, a student must (1) do satis­ factory work in the first semester; (2) obtain 14 credits by the end o f the first year; (3) intend to complete the degree requirements in three years; and (4 ) signify this intention when she/he applies for a major by writing a sopho­ more paper during the spring o f the first year. W hen circumstances warrant, a student may lengthen the continuous route to graduation to five years by carrying fewer courses than the norm o f four, although College policy does not permit programs o f fewer than 3 credits for degree candidates in their first eight 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 have dis­ abilities, or who wish to free time for activities relating to their curricular work, although not done for academic credit. Such five-year pro­ grams 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 pro­ grams are possible only on application to, and selection by, the department concerned, which will look for exceptional accomplishment or promise. In all cases where it is proposed to reduce academic credit and lengthen the peri­ od before graduation, the College looks partic­ ularly to personal circumstances and to careful advising and necessarily charges the regular annual tuition (see the provisions for over­ 74 T h e academic year at Swarthmore is 32 weeks long, during which time students are expected to complete six to eight semester course credits of work. Normal progress toward the degree of bachelor o f arts or bachelor o f science is made by eight semesters’ work o f 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 three or five courses, with special permission. College policy does not permit programs o f 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. 29 on tuition and pp. 81 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. Stu­ dents become seniors when they have earned 22 to 24 credits. Som e offices on campus, such as the Housing Office, may have additional requirements in their definitions o f the student classes. FORMATS OF INSTRUCTION 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 of 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 of 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 o f developing capacities for independent work, and for hon­ ors candidates, it is an alternative to seminars 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. Directed 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 time, 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. T h e work may range from a course of 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. Student-Run Couises The 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 exam ination or equivalent administered by him or her, but normally with no further involvement o f facul­ ty. In organizing such a course, students obtain provisional approval and agreement to serve as course supervisor from a faculty member by Dec. 1 (for the spring semester) or May 1 (for the fall semester) on the basis o f an initial memorandum emphasizing the principal sub­ je ct matter to be studied, the questions to be asked about it, the methods o f investigation, and provision o f a preliminary bibliography. T h e course is then registered by its organizers w ith the provost, who has administrative supervision o f such work and who may waive the foregoing deadlines to recognize problems in the organization of 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 represen­ tatives together with the provost will decide whether to approve the course. T h e supervisor also reviews the course outline and bibliogra­ phy and qualifications and general eligibility of students 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 courses may vary in format and content. In particular, they may be provision­ ally proposed for half credit to run in the first half o f 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 o f the course super­ visor may exceed that in planning and evalua­ tion outlined earlier and extend to occasional or regular participation. T h e only essentials, and the purpose of the procedures, are suffi­ cient planning and organization o f 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. 75 Educational Program 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 likely to contribute to a student’s progress in regular course work. T h e work is subject to four condi­ tions: (1 ) agreement o f an instructor to super­ vise the project; (2 ) sponsorship by the instruc­ tor’s department, and in the case of an inter­ disciplinary project, any other department concerned, whose representatives together with the provost will decide whether to grant permission for the applied or practical work before that work is undertaken; (3) a basis for the project in some prior course work; and (4) normally, the exam ination o f pertinent litera­ ture and production o f 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 T h e 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 Wack studies, cognitive science, envi­ ronmental studies, film and media studies, Francophone studies, German studies, inter­ pretation theory, Latin 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 76 the relevant sections o f the catalog. It should be recognized that some departments are themselves interdisciplinary in nature and that a considerable number of courses are cross-listed between departments. Also, some courses each year are taught jointly by mem­ bers o f two or more departments and depart­ ments commonly recommend or require sup­ porting work for their majors in other depart­ ments. Many other opportunities exist infor­ mally (e.g., in African studies, in American studies, in religion and sociology and anthro­ pology, in engineering 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 o f the Health Sciences Advisory Program is twofold: to advise students interest­ ed in a career in the health professions, and to prepare letters o f recommendation for profes­ sional schools to which students apply. T he 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. The fol­ lowing courses fulfill the basic requirements of most medical schools: BIO L 001, 002; CHEM 010, 022, 032, 038; PHYS 003, 004; MATH 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 Sciences Office: M edical School Adm ission Re­ quirements, A dm ission Requirem ents o fU .S . and C anadian D ental Schools, and V eterinary M edical School A dm ission Requirem ents. The work o f the junior and senior years may be completed in any major department of the stu­ dent’s choice. A ll required courses should be taken on a graded basis after the first semester of the freshman year. The 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 Health Sciences Office publishes Guide to Premedical Studies at Sw arthmore C ollege and Frequently A sked Preveterinary Questions to help new students plan their aca­ demic program and understand what schools look for in applicants. T he G uide fo r Applying to Medical School fo r Suiarthm ore U ndergraduates and A lum nilae 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 Health Sciences Office’s pages on the Swarthmore College Web site at http://www.swarthmore.edu/Admin/health_sciences/. 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 of the home institution from among applicants who will be sophomores or juniors at the time of the exchange. W ith each institution, there are a limited and matched number of 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 of partici­ pants to the institution w ith w hich the exchange takes place. Credit for domestic exchange is not automatic. Students must follow the procedures for receiv­ ing credit for work done elsewhere, including obtaining preliminary approval o f courses and after-the-fact validation o f credit by the rele­ vant Swarthmore department chairs (see “Faculty Regulations” on pp. 80-84). CREATIVE ARTS Work in the creative arts is available both in the curriculum o f certain departments and on an extracurricular basis. Interested students should consult the departmental statements in Art, English Literature (including Theater), and Music and Dance. COOPERATION WITH NEIGHBORING INSTITUTIONS With the approval of their faculty adviser and the registrar, students may take a course offered by Bryn Mawr or Haverford College or the U n i­ versity of Pennsylvania without the payment of extra tuition. Students are expected to know and abide by the academic regulations of the host institution. (This arrangement does not apply to the summer sessions of 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 graduation. STUDY ABROAD T h e College emphasizes the importance of study abroad and encourages all students to explore possibilities for doing so as integral parts of their degree programs. T h e O ffice 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 Swarth­ more degree, foreign study must meet Swarth­ more academic standards. W ith proper plan­ ning, this condition normally is readily met. Proper planning begins with seeing the foreign study adviser as early as possible in one’s col­ lege career. Credit for study abroad is awarded according to College regulations for accredit­ ing work at other institutions, and the process must be completed within the semester follow­ ing return to the College. T he Sw arthm ore Program in G ren oble, France, inaugurated in the fall o f 1972. Students enter­ ing this program spend either one or two 77 Educational Program semesters at the University o f Grenoble, where their course o f 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 hum anities and social sciences. Applications from students at other institu­ tions are accepted places are available. T h e number o f participants is limited to 25. Students are integrated into the academic life at the University o f Grenoble 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 o f external exam ination papers is possible in certain fields. T h e program is designed primarily for juniors and secondsem ester 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 h e director teaches a course or a seminar, supervises the academic program and the living arrangements o f the students, and advises on all educational or personal problems. A coordi­ nator o f 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. Appli­ cations for the fall semester must be submitted by M arch 15 and for the spring semester by O ct. 15. A cadem ic Year in M adrid, Spain. T his program is administered by the Rom ance Language Department o f Hamilton College, in coopera­ tion with faculty members o f Williams and Swarthmore colleges. Students may enroll for 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 o f intellectual performance charac­ teristic o f the most demanding American insti­ tutions. A distinguishing aspect o f the program is the individual guidance provided students in nonacademic areas, especially in (1) the efforts 78 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. 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 of a committee comprising members of the Hamil­ ton College Department o f Rom ance Lan­ guages, 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 Litera­ tures Department. In addition to the programs in Grenoble and Madrid, there are a number o f excellent foreign study programs throughout the world. The Office for Foreign Study, along with the acade­ mic departments and programs of 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 of 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 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. Income 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 of the Russian section of the Modem Languages and Literatures Department. The Eugene M . W eber M em orial Fund. Income from a fund established in 1986 to honor the memory of 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 emic program in a German-speaking country. Awards based on merit and financial need will be made on the recom m endation o f the German section o f the M odem Languages and Literatures Department. STUDENT RIGHT TO KNOW Swarthmore College’s graduation rate is 92 percent (this is the percentage graduating within six years, based on the most recent cohorts, calculated according to “Student Right to Know” guidelines). 79 Faculty Regulations ATTENDANCE AT CLASSES Regular attendance is expected. Faculty mem­ bers will report to the dean the name o f any student whose repeated absence is in their opinion impairing the student’s work. T h e number o f absences allowed in a given course is no t specified, a fact that places a heavy respon­ sibility on all students to make sure that their work is no t suffering as a result o f absences. Because first-year students must exercise par­ ticular care in this respect and because the fac­ ulty recognizes its greater responsibility toward them in the matter o f class attendance, it is expected that first-year students, especially, will attend all classes. W hen illness necessitates absence from classes, the student should report at once to the Health Center. A student may obtain credit for a course with­ out attending class meetings by reading the ma­ terial prescribed by a syllabus and taking a final examination, under the following conditions: 1. T h e student must signify intent 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 normal class attendance, the instructor’s approval must be obtained. 3. T h e student may be required to perform such work, in addition to the final examina­ tion, as the 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 During the year, instructors periodically report to the Dean’s and Registrar’s offices upon the students’ course work. Informal reports during the semester take the form of comments on unsatisfactory work. A t the end o f each semes­ ter, formal grades are given in each course either under the credit/no credit (CR/NC) sys­ tem, or under the letter system, by which A means excellent work; B , good work; C , satis­ factory work; D, passing but below the average required for graduation; and N C (no credit), 80 uncompleted or unsatisfactory work. Letter grades may be qualified by pluses and minuses. W signifies that the student has been permit­ ted to withdraw from the course. X designates a condition that means a student has done unsatisfactory work in the first half of a year course but by creditable work during the sec­ ond 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 which the work of a foreign student cannot be evaluated because o f deficiencies in English. In Progress IP (in progress) is the grade used when nor­ mally everyone in a class continues working on a project into the next semester. IP is given at the end of the first semester. Final grades are normally due at the end o f the succeeding semester. Incomplètes Inc. means that a student’s work is incomplete with respect to specific assignments or exami­ nations. T h e faculty has voted that a student’s final grade in a course should incorporate a zero for any part o f the course not completed by the date o f the final examination or the end of the examination period. However, if circum­ stances beyond the student’s control (e.g., ill­ ness, family emergency) preclude the comple­ tion of the work by this date, a grade of Inc. may be assigned with the permission o f the fac­ ulty instructor and the registrar. N ote that “having too much work to do” is not, in fair­ ness to other students, considered a circum­ stance beyond the student’s control. A form for the purpose o f requesting an incomplete is available from the Registrar’s Office and must be filled out by the student and signed by the faculty instructor and the registrar and returned to the registrar no later than the last day o f final exam inations. In such cases, incomplete work must normally be made up and graded, and the final grade recorded with­ in five weeks after the start of the following term. Except by special permission of the regis­ trar and the faculty instructor, all grades of Inc. still outstanding after that date will be replaced on the student’s permanent record by N C (no credit). Waiver of this provision by special per­ mission shall in n o case extend beyond one year from the time the Inc. grade was incurred. Credit/No Credit The only grades recorded on students’ records for courses taken during their first semester of the freshman year are C R and N C . In the bal­ ance of their work at Swarthmore, students may exercise the option to take up to four more courses for credit/no credit by informing the Registrar’s Office within the first two weeks of the term in which the course is taken. U ntil the end o f the ninth week o f classes, students may reconsider and opt to receive a formal grade in the course. T his course will count as one of the four optional CR/NC courses. Repeated courses normally may not be taken credit/no credit (see later). Courses only of­ fered as credit/no credit do not count in the four optional elections. For first-year students and sophomores, C R will be recorded for work that would earn a grade of straight D or higher. For juniors and seniors, that is, students with at least 16 credits— no t counting Advanced Placement (A P) credits— the minimum equiv­ alent letter grade for C R will be straight C . Instructors are asked to provide the student and the faculty adviser with evaluation of the student’s CR/NC work. T h e evaluation for first-semester freshmen includes a letter-grade equivalent. For other students, the evaluation may be either a letter-grade equivalent or a comment. Such evaluations are not a part of the student’s grade record. If available, lettergrade equivalents for first-semester freshmen only may be provided to other institutions if requested by the student and absolutely required by the other institution. Students should save their copies of these evaluations for their records. Repeated Courses Some courses can be repeated for credit; these are indicated in departmental course descrip­ tions. For other courses, the following rules apply: (1) Permission to repeat a course must be obtained from the Swarthmore instructor teaching the repetition. These courses may not be taken CR/NC;(2) To take a course at anoth­ er school to serve as a repeat of a course previ­ ously taken at Swarthmore, permission must be obtained from the chair of the Swarthmore department in which the original course was taken. The department chair must give permis­ sion for work done elsewhere as part of the credit and validation process. For repeated courses in which the student withdraws with the notation W, the grade and credit for the previous attempt will stand. For other repeated courses, the registration and grade for the previous attempt will be pre­ served on the permanent record but marked as excluded, and any credit for the previous attempt will be permanently lost. T h e final grade and any credit earned in the repetition are the grade and credit that will be applied to the student’s Swarthmore degree. Grade Reports Grades are available to students on a secure W eb site. Paper grade reports are sent to stu­ dents each June. They are not routinely sent to parents or guardians, but such inform ation may be released when students request it. Grade Average A C (2.0) average is required in the courses counted for graduation. A n average of C is interpreted for this purpose as being a numeri­ cal average of at least 2.0 (A +, A = 4.0, A - = 3.67, B+ = 3.33, B = 3.0, B- = 2.67, C + = 2.33, C = 2.0, C - = 1.67, D+ = 1.33, D = 1.0, and D= 0.67). Grades of CR/NC and grades on the record for work not taken at Swarthmore College are no t included in computing this average. REGISTRATION A ll students are required to register and enroll at the time specified in official announcements and to file programs approved by their faculty advisers. Fines are imposed for late or incom­ plete registration or enrollment. A regular student is expected to take the pre­ scribed number o f courses in each semester. If more than 5 or fewer than 4 credits seem desir­ able, the faculty adviser should be consulted and a petition filed with the registrar. Applications to add or drop a course from reg­ istration must be delivered to the Registrar’s Office within the first two weeks o f the semes­ ter. Applications to withdraw from a course and receive the permanent grade notation W must be received no later than the end o f the ninth week of classes or the fifth week of the course if it meets for only one-half of the Faculty Regulations semester. A fter that time, late withdrawals are recorded on the student’s record with the nota­ tion N C unless the student withdraws from the College. STUDENT LEAVES OF ABSENCE, WITHDRAWAL, AND READMISSION Students do not register for audits. Successfully completed audits are recorded (with the nota­ tion R ) at the end o f the semester (except in cases where the student has withdrawn after the first two weeks o f the semester, in which cases the appropriate withdrawal notation stands). Student leaves o f absence are freely permitted provided the request for leave is received by the date o f enrollment and the student is in good standing. Students planning a leave of absence should consult with a dean and com­ plete the necessary form before the deadline published each semester (usually Dec. 1 and April 1). T h e form asks students to specify the date o f expected return. Students need only notify the dean of their return if their return date changes from that originally indicated on the completed form. A deposit o f $100 is required o f all returning students prior to their enrollment in both the spring and fall semesters. T h is deposit is applied to charges for the semester and is not refundable. Leaves of Absence Withdrawal EXAMINATIONS Any student who is absent from an examina­ tion that is announced in advance shall be given an examination at another hour only by special arrangement with the instructor in charge o f the course. Final Examinations T h e final examination schedule specified in official announcements directs the place and time o f all finals unless the instructor has made other special arrangements. However, College policy holds that students with three final examinations within 24 hours are allowed to reschedule one o f these exams in consultation with the instructor. By College policy, a student who is not 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 written exam until the student’s next free exam period. Conversely, a student in the Honors Program who has a con­ flict with a course final exam, takes the honors exam and postpones the course exam in con­ sultation with the professor. In no case may a student take an honors exam before the honors written examination period for that exam. Withdrawal from the. College may occur for academic, disciplinary, health, or personal rea­ sons and may be voluntary or required by the College. For health-related withdrawal, in no case will a student’s mental or physical condition itself be a basis for a required withdrawal. However, when health problems o f a physical or psycho­ logical nature result in behavior that substan­ tially interferes with a student’s academic per­ formance or the educational endeavors of other students or poses a significant threat to the student’s safety or safety o f others, the College may require the student to withdraw. T h e Evaluation Comm ittee, chaired by the associate dean for academic affairs and com­ prising the associate dean for student life and the assistant dean/director o f residential life makes the decision to require withdrawal for health-related reasons. T h e Evaluation Com­ m ittee will review the problematic behavior and may consult with the director o f Worth Health Center, the director o f Psychological Services, or any other appropriate College offi­ cial when making its decision. Decisions of the Evaluation Committee may be appealed to the dean o f the College. Students withdrawing from the College before the end o f the semester normally receive the grade notation “W ” (withdrawal) on their per­ manent record for all in-progress courses. Readmission A student who has withdrawn from the College for any reason, voluntarily or involun- 82 tarily, may apply for readmission by writing to Robert Gross, dean o f the College. Normally, the College will not accept applications for readmission until a full semester, in addition to the semester in which the student has with­ drawn, has passed. A student applying to the College for réadmission after withdrawal is required to provide appropriate documentation of increased ability I to function academically and in a residential environment and/or o f a decreased hazard to health and safety of self and/or others. In the case o f withdrawal for medical reasons, this documentation must include an evaluation from the student’s personal h ealth care provider. In addition, the student will general­ ly be required to show evidence of successful social, occupational, and/or academic func­ tioning during the time away from the College. This evidence must include the completion of any outstanding incomplètes on record. After such evidence has been provided, the materials will be forwarded to the Evaluation Committee, chaired by Associate Dean Joy Charlton and including Associate Dean Tedd Goundie and Assistant Dean Myrt Westphal. In the case o f health-related withdrawals, the materials will be reviewed by the director of Worth Health Center 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 Committee, such evaluations may be required for other types of withdrawals as appropriate. These evaluations will provide adjunctive information to the committee’s decision-mak­ ing process. T h e Evaluation Committee will normally meet with the student and will make a determination regarding the student’s readi­ ness to resume study at Swarthmore. Short-Term Health-related Absences Students who are hospitalized for a period dur­ ing the semester are subject to the readmission I procedures described above before they may I return to campus to resume their studies. In I these situations, the Evaluation Committee I may also counsel and advise the student about I options for how best to approach the remainI ing academic work in the semester. In all cases, I a student returning to campus from the hospiI tal must report to the W orth Health Center I and get clearance from the appropriate health I --------------- 1--- *----- —------- care professional before returning to the dormi­ tory to ensure the student’s readiness to resume college life and so that follow-up care can be discussed. The College Venture Program T h e College Venture Program, supported by Swarthmore College, Bates College, Brown University, Franklin & Marshall, the College o f Holy Cross, Sarah Lawrence, Syracuse University, Vassar College, and Wesleyan U n i­ versity, provides work experiences for students taking time away from college. Venture jobs are usually full-time, paid positions in a variety of fields including the environment, education, business, social change, government, and the arts. Students do not receive academic credit for these work experiences. T h e College Ven­ ture coordinator is in the Career Services Office. SUM M ER SCHOOL WORK AHD OTHER WORK DOHE ELSEW HERE Students who wish to receive Swarthmore C ol­ lege credit for work at another school must obtain preliminary approval and after-the-fact validation by the chair of the Swarthmore department or program concerned. Preliminary approval depends on adequate information about the content and instruction o f the work to be undertaken. Preliminary approval is ten­ tative. Final validation o f the work for credit depends on evaluation of the materials of the course, including syllabus transcript, written work, exams, indication o f class hours, and so forth. Work in other programs, especially sum­ mer school programs, may sometimes be given less credit than work at Swarthmore, but this will depend on the nature o f the program and the work involved. Validation may include an examination, written or oral, administered at Swarthmore. A ll decisions are made on a caseby-case basis. A n official transcript from the other school must be received by the Office o f the Registrar before validated work can be recorded for cred­ it. By College policy, in order for work done elsewhere to be granted Swarthmore College credit, the grade for that work must be the equivalent of a straight C or better, but a bet­ ter than C grade does not in itself constitute Swarthmore accreditability. Faculty Regulations Requests for credit must be made within the semester following the term in which the work was done. Credit is lost if a student takes a course at Swarthmore that essentially repeats the work covered by the credit. PHYSICAL EDUCATION In the freshman and sophomore years, all nonveteran students not excused for medical rea­ sons 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. (See the departmental statement of the De­ partment of Physical Education and Athletics.) EXCLUSION FROM COLLEGE T h e College reserves the right to exclude at any time students whose academic standing it regards as unsatisfactory and without assigning any further reason therefore, and neither the College nor any o f its officers shall be under any liability whatsoever for such exclusion. 84 Degree Requirements BACHELOR OF ARTS AND BACHELOR OF SCIENCE 9.

T h e fellowships are limited to the humanities, a very few o f the social sci­ ences, and selected physical sciences. A facul­ ty selection committee invites nominations of sophomore students in February and awards the fellowships in consultation with the dean and provost. The Joh n W . N ason Com m unity Service Fellow ­ ship. T h e John W. Nason Community Service Fellowship celebrates the contributions of Swarthmore’s eighth president by supporting students pursuing off-campus community ser­ vice related to their academic program. T h e Nason Fellowship was initiated by members of the Class o f 1945 in anticipation o f their 50th reunion. T h e Nason Fellowship is adminis­ tered by the Swarthmore Foundation. The J . Roland P ennock U ndergraduate Fellow ship in Public Affairs. T h e fellowship, endowed by friends o f Professor J. Roland Pennock at his retirement in 1976 and in recognition of his many years o f distinguished teaching o f politi­ cal science at Swarthmore, provides a grant for as much as $3,500 to support a substantial research project (which could include inquiry through responsible participation) in public affairs. T h e fellowship, for Swarthmore under­ graduates, would normally be held off campus during the summer. Preference is given to applicants from the junior class. The D avid G . Smith Internship in H ealth and Social P olicy, endowed by alumni, faculty, friends, and former students o f David G . Smith, is to support an internship in the social services, with priority for the field of health cate, for a Swarthmore undergraduate during the summer or a semester on leave. Teachers fo r Tom orrow Fellow ships are offered to 10 outstanding graduating seniors from mem­ ber colleges o f th e Venture Consortium (Swarthmore College, Bates College, Brown University, Connecticut College, Hobart and William Sm ith colleges, the College of Holy Cross, Vassar College, and Wesleyan U niver­ sity). T h e program is designed to provide recent graduates from all academic majors with a unique opportunity to work in public educa­ tion without requiring they be certified to teach. Fellows will work alongside exceptional teachers in alternative East Fiarlem public schools that are nationally recognized as meet­ ing the challenge of educating children in the inner city. The H ans W allach R esearch Fellow ship, endowed in 1991 by colleagues and friends, honors the eminent psychologist Hans W allach (19041998), who was a distinguished member o f the Swarthmore faculty for more than 60 years. The fellowship supports one outstanding sum­ mer research project in psychology for a rising Swarthmore College senior or junior, with preference given to a project leading to a senior thesis. FACULTY FELLOWSHIPS T he M ary A lbertson Faculty Fellow ship was endowed by an anonymous gift from two o f her former students, under a challenge grant issued by the National Endowment for the Human­ ities. It will provide an annual award o f a semester’s leave at full pay, to support research and writing by members of the humanities fac­ ulty. Mary Albertson joined the Swarthmore faculty in 1927 and served as chairman o f the History Department from 1942 until her retire­ ment in 1963. She died in May 1986. T h e G eorge B ecker Faculty Fellow ship was endowed by Ramon Posel ’50 under a chal­ lenge from the National Endowment for the Humanities, in honor of this former member of the English Department and its chairman from 1953-1970. T h e fellowship will provide a semester o f leave at full pay for a member of the humanities faculty to do research and write, in the fields of art history, classics, English litera­ ture, history, linguistics, modem languages, music, philosophy, or religion but with prefer­ ence to members of the Department o f English Literature. T he Brand Blanshard Faculty Fellow ship is an endowed faculty fellowship in the humanities established in the name of philosopher and for­ mer faculty member Brand Blanshard, who taught philosophy at Swarthmore from 1925 to 1944. T h e fellowship will provide a semester leave at full pay for a member o f the humani­ ties faculty to do research and to write. O n rec­ ommendation o f the Selection Committee, a small additional grant may be available for travel and project expenses. Any humanities faculty member eligible for leave may apply. Fellows will prepare a paper about the work of their leave year and present it publicly to the College and wider community. T h e Blanshard Fellowship is made possible by an anonymous donor who was Blanshard’s student at Swarth­ more, and a challenge grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. T he Eugene M . Lang Faculty Fellow ship is designed to enhance the educational program 93 Fellowships of Swarthmore College by contributing to fac­ ulty development, by promoting original or innovative scholarly achievement of faculty members, and by encouraging the use o f such achievements to stimulate intellectual ex­ change among scholars. T h e fellowship will provide financial support for faculty leaves through a grant o f about one-half the recipi­ ent’s salary during the grant year. O n recom­ mendation o f the Selection Com m ittee, a small additional grant may be available for travel and project expenses and for library book purchases. T h e Selection Comm ittee shall consist of the provost, three divisional chairmen, and three others selected by the president, o f whom at least two must be Swarthmore alumni. Any faculty member eli­ gible for leave may apply. Fellows will be expected to prepare a paper or papers resulting from the work of their leave year, presented publicly for the College and wider community. T h e Selection Committee may wholly or par­ tially support the cost o f publishing any of these papers. These fellowships are made possi­ ble by an endowment established by Eugene M. Lang ’38. 94 Courses of Instruction The semester course credit is the unit of credit. One semester course credit is normally equiva­ lent to four semester hours elsewhere. Seminars and colloquia are usually given for 2 credits. A few courses are given for 0.5 credit. Courses are numbered as follows: 001 to 0 10 Introductory courses 011 to 0 99 O ther courses (Som e o f these courses are not open to fresh­ men and sophomores.) 100 to 199 Seminars for upper-class persons and graduate students. Yearlong courses, the numbers for which are joined by a hyphen (e.g., 001-002) must be continued for the entire year. Credit is not given for the first semester’s work only, nor is credit given for the first semester if the student fails the second semester. In cases where credit is not earned for the second half of a yearlong course, the first semester is excluded from counting toward degree credit, although the registration and grade for the first semester remain on the permanent record. Course listings in this catalog are intended to facilitate planning. They represent offerings projected for a two-year period but are subject to change. A better guide to course offerings in any particular semester is the schedule of classes available before enrollment for that semester. FOOTNOTE K EY 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Absent on leave, fall 2002.

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. 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 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 Art Fund supports work with the permanent col­ lection. T h e A nn Trimble Warren Exhibition Fund and the List Gallery Fund support List Gallery exhibitions. L ist 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 o f April and May feature a series of senior thesis exhibitions by art majors, and an Alum ni Weekend exhibition takes place in June. Together with the gallery director, the Exhibition Comm ittee 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 o f the List Gallery. Occasionally, the gallery presents historical ex­ hibitions that offer art history students oppor­ tunities for direct observation and analysis.

Course Major in Art History REQUIREMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Prerequisites Most art history courses are offered without prerequisites, though students are strongly encouraged to begin with A R T H 001. S T U A 001 is the prerequisite for all studio arts cours­ es, 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 G er­ man and French. T h e A rt Department approves a credit for Advanced Placement, grade 5 in A rt History and Studio Arts (with submission o f a portfolio). A rt History majors are required to take A R T H 001 or A R T H 002, 1 credit in Asian A rt, A R T H 098, 5 other credits in art history, and one course in studio arts. T h e 5 elective cred­ its must include (1) 1 credit in Western art before 1700, (2) 1 credit in Western art after 1700, and (3) one seminar (2 credits). T he comprehensive consists of a special essay, com ­ pleted in conjunction with A R T H 098 in spring o f the senior year. Course Minor in Art History T h e course minor in A rt History will consist of 5 credits in A rt History, including A R T H 001: Critical Study in the Visual Arts. Four o f the 5 credits must be taken at Swarthmore. Study Abroad Course Major in Art The Art Department strongly encourages those with an interest in art to consider incorporat­ ing foreign study— either during a summer or a regular academic term— into their Swarthmore program. Important examples of art and archi­ tecture are scattered throughout the world, and the encounter with works still imbedded in their original context is vital to an understand­ ing of their historical and contemporary signif­ icance. Past experience has shown, however, that art courses in most foreign study programs fall considerably below the academic standards of 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) No request for transfer credit in art history will be considered unless a student has already taken an art history course at Swarthmore before taking a course abroad. (2) Students who are interested in bettering their chances of gaining a full Swarthmore credit for a course taken in a foreign program are advised to attempt to arrange with a Swarthmore profes­ sor, before leaving the campus, to write, if nec­ essary, a supplementary research paper as a part of the course. Such papers will be evaluated by the Art Department as part of the process of determining transfer credit. (3 ) Students inter­ ested in Studio Arts, Design, and Architecture are particularly encouraged to consider the T h e course major in art consists of four courses in A rt History (including A RTH 001 and A R T H 002) and seven courses in Studio Arts (including courses in drawing, another twodimensional medium, and a three-dimensional medium). T h e comprehensive consists of a senior exhibition and written artist statement prepared during the fall and spring of the senior year. Studio Arts facilities are closed during summer and normally during October, winter, and spring holidays. Course Minor in Art N ot offered. Majors and Minors in the External Examination Program Students may formulate Honors programs as either majors or minors, in either art history or art.

Sim ilar to literature, painting, or music, architecture must be read and evaluated through its own language. T h e course focuses on learning the language of architecture by investigating the functional, structural, and aesthetic aspects of buildings. W e will learn to understand buildings by learning how to docu­ ment them and, in turn, by learning how to read those documents. Our primary evidence will come from local buildings that are avail­ able for autopsy, monuments from distant places, lost buildings recovered by archaeology, and imaginary buildings from film and litera­ ture.

Dada and Surrealism Signing a name, going into a trance, collecting dust, shopping in a flea market, dreaming, scribbling, and playing a game— all of these activities were investigated as methods of art production by artists associated with Dada and surrealism in the early decades of the 20th cen­ tury. This seminar examines no t only these new modes o f making art but also the artists’ political, cultural, and theoretical reasons for developing them. By carefully reading primary and secondary texts, we consider the questions, aims, and desires of these revolutionary art movements as well as the methods o f art his- tory that have been conceived to address them. 2 credits.

T h e course approaches drawing as a unique graphic and expressive medium rather than as a preliminary or planning process. T h e course begins from the viewpoint that the expressive and interpre­ tative potential o f drawing can be achieved at the beginning level when knowledge of draw­ ing media and techniques are fused with per­ sonal vision and creativity. T h e course follows a sequence of studies that introduces students to basic drawing media and compositional ele­ ments through observation o f natural and manufactured forms. (This course is a prerequi­ site for all other courses in studio art.) 1 credit. Each sem ester. Staff. STUA 002.

Topics include atmospheric perspec­ tive, linear perspective, viewpoint, composi­ tional structuring through shape and rhythmic manipulation as well as a thorough study of light through changing effects color and tonal­ ity. These topics will be introduced using demonstrations during class (both in the field and outside) and analysis o f landscapes from art history. Workshops and presentations by visiting artists will also assist us throughout the semester. Weekly excursions into the land­ scape around the College will be scheduled (this includes the urban, suburban, and rural landscape o f southeastern Pennsylvania). Assignments will be given each week outside o f class to reinforce the methods introduced during the week. T h e primary subject for these works will be the environs o f the College dur­ ing the changing autumnal season.

The Digital Darkroom The digital darkroom is an expressive tool for the black-and-white photographer and printer. When images made on conventional film are converted to digital form via scanning, a whole new world of printing and publishing becomes available. This option is a particular boon to photographers who are adversely affected by darkroom chemicals or who do not have ready access to a darkroom. T h e controls offered by the digital darkroom emulate and often exceed those available in the conventional darkroom. The purpose of this class is to understand those controls and to apply them to images captured on film. After a basic tour of Photoshop tools and techniques, we explore contrast control, selective tonal control, dodging and burning, monitor calibration, using grayscale and Duotone, Tritone, and Quadtone inks, retouching and enhancement, and various special effects. Parallels are drawn to conventional darkroom techniques throughout. Prerequisite: S T U A 0 0 6 : Photography or equivalent. STUA D30.

Asian studies is an interdisciplinary program that introduces students to the vast range of historical and contemporary human experi­ ence on the Asian continent— from South Asia, to peninsular and insular Southeast Asia and East Asia. Asian courses are offered by the A sian Studies Program and in the A rt, Economics, History, M odem Languages and Literatures (Chinese and Japanese), Music and Dance, Political Science, Religion, Sociology and Anthropology, and Theater departments. Asian studies offers majors in course and hon­ ors, an honors minor, and a course minor. Majors construct individualized programs of study, with a focus on a comparative theme or on a particular country or region. Som e exam­ ples o f comparative themes include classical traditions in Asian literature and art, Buddhist studies, Asian nationalisms and the emergence o f nation-states, or the political economy of Asian development. However, in all cases the core o f the major lies in exposure to multiple regions, for cross-cultural comparisons, and multiple disciplines. in advance of preparing a sophomore paper to discuss how to plan an individualized program with intellectual coherence and rigor. Ad­ vance planning is especially critical for stu­ dents contemplating the Honors Program and those integrating study abroad in the major. Students interested in Asian studies are urged to consult our W eb site at http://www.swarthmore.edu/Humanities/asian/ for up-to-date information on courses and campus events. Students should also meet with the chair well 106 LANGUAGE STUBY ANB STUDY ABROAD Although not required, majors are strongly encouraged to consider studying an Asian lan­ guage and a period o f study in Asia. Swarthmore currently offers Chinese and Japanese, but many other Asian languages may be stud­ ied at the University of Pennsylvania during the regular academic year, in summer-language programs, or abroad. Experience has shown that off-campus language courses may create sched­ uling difficulties. As a result, many students elect the summer or study abroad option. For languages offered at Swarthmore, courses above the first-year level count toward the ma­ jor. For Asian languages not offered at Swarth­ more, courses at the entry level may be approved if at least the equivalent of 1.5 cred­ its are successfully completed in a program ap­ proved by the Asian studies faculty. I I The 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. Non-language courses taken abroad may also be applied toward the major, if credit has been granted by the College and subject to the approval o f the Asian Studies Committee. However, normally at least half o f the credits tow ard a student’s A sian Studies Program (w hether m ajor or m inor) should be taken at Swarthmore. The Alice L. Crossley Prize in Asian Studies: See p. 88. I ----------------------REQUIREMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Course Major An Asian studies major is more demanding than a departmental major because it is each student’s responsibility to make the connec­ tions between courses that differ widely in con­ tent and method. W hen considering appli­ cants to the major, the Asian Studies Com ­ mittee looks for evidence o f intellectual flex­ ibility and independence as well as a demon­ strated ability to do work at the B - level or above in at least two Asia-related courses in different departments. The major in Asian studies consists o f a mini­ mum of 9 credits, with requirements and distri­ bution as follows: I I lx Geographic breadth. Course work must be completed concerning more than one o f the regions of Asia (South, Southeast, and East Asia). This requirement can be accom ­ plished by taking at least two courses that are pan-Asian or comparative in scope or by taking at least one full course on a country other than that of the principal focus in an individual student’s program. 2. Disciplinary breadth. Classes must be taken in at least three different departments. 3. Foundations. A t least 1 credit must be taken from the following range o f courses: Comparative Studies ARTH 003 (Asian Art) MUSI 008 (Music o f Asia) F ocu s on a Single C oun try o r R eg ion 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 010 (Traditional Japan) RELG 012 and 013 (History, Religion, and Culture o f India I and II) 4. Interm ediate and advanced w ork. A minimum o f 5 credits must be completed at the inter­ mediate or advanced level in at least two departments. 5. Asian language study. Asian-language study is not required but is strongly recommended. Up to 4 credits in language study may be applied toward the major. For languages offered at Swarthmore, courses above the first-year level may count toward the major. Courses above the second-year level will count as intermediate/advanCed. For Asian languages not offered at Swarthmore, cours­ es at the entry level may count toward the major 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. C ulm inating exercise. Students in the Asian studies course major have a choice o f culmi­ nating exercises. a. Thesis option. A 1- (or 2-) credit thesis, fol­ lowed by an oral examination. T h e thesis must be interdisciplinary, in that two members of the Asian studies faculty from different departments participate in the direction of its research and the examina­ tion of its results. Students must enroll for the thesis (A SIA 096) no later than fall semester o f the senior year. For more information about the thesis, see the department W eb site (http://www.swarthmore.edu/Humanities/asian/) or sopho­ more paper guidelines. b. H onors sem inar option. W ith the prior approval of the Asian Studies Com m it­ tee, students may fulfill the requirement for a culminating exercise by taking a 2credit honors seminar in an Asian studies topic in either their junior or senior year. (N ote: A two-course combination for ex­ ternal exam ination or a course-plus- RELG 008 (Patterns o f Asian Religions) RELG 009 (The Buddhist Tradition) 107 Asian Studies directed-reading-attachment will not sat­ isfy this requirement.) T h e 2-credit hon­ ors seminar will count as 1 o f 9 credits toward the Asian studies course major, but 8 other credits are still necessary. 7. G rade-point average requirem ent. A student must have at least a C average across all courses applied to the course major. Course Minor Students will be admitted to the minor after having successfully completed at least two Asia-related courses with grades of B- or better from different departments. Students may ap­ ply for the minor as early as the sophomore paper and as late as the first week of the senior year. T h e Asian 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 o f the regions o f Asia (the South, the Southeast, and East A sia). This 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. Courses must be taken in at least two departments outside of the disciplinary major. Only one course may overlap the Asian studies minor and a disci­ plinary major. 3. Foundations. Students are encouraged, but not required, to include at least one course from the list o f “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. Note that there is no capstone seminar or thesis for the interdisciplinary minor in course. 5. Asian language study. Asian language study is not required, but courses in Asian languages may count toward the course minor. For lan­ guages offered at Swarthmore, 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 108 minor if at least the equivalent of 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. Honors Major To be admitted to the honors major, students should have completed at least two Asia-relat­ ed courses in different departments at the B+ level or above. T h e honors major in Asian studies consists of a minimum o f 10 credits (including four honors preparations). 1. G eographic and disciplinary breadth require­ m ents. These 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. A sian studies as an interdisciplinary m ajor. All four fields presented for external examina­ tion must be Asian studies subjects. T he stu­ dent has the option of omitting a minor field designation. Alternatively, one o f the four fields can be designated as a minor, in which case the student must fulfill all the require­ ments of that department or program for an honors minor. 4. H onors preparations representing at least two differen t disciplines. Careful advance plan­ ning is essential to make certain that the prerequisites and requirements established by separate departments and/or programs have been met. Honors preparations in Asian studies may consist of 2-credit semi­ nars, designated pairs of courses, 1-credit attachments to designated i-credit courses, a 1-credit thesis in conjunction with a 1credit course, or a 2-credit thesis. W e espe­ cially encourage students to consider a course plus a 1-credit thesis combination, when the combination would allow for an interdisciplinary perspective on a particular issue or theme. W ith the advance approval o f the Asian Studies Committee, course work or research done in study abroad may be incorporated into the preparation. 5. Senior honors study (SH S) fo r m ajors. SHS, usually 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 rele­ vant professors and the A sian Studies Program chair. No course credit will be given for SH S for majors. A student may choose to have one of the four preparations serve as a minor in a discipline. If so, the SHS for that preparation will be governed by the host department’s practice. SH S materials may be examined in regular writ­ ten and some 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. Honors Minor To be admitted to the honors minor, students should have completed at least two Asia-relat­ ed courses in different departments at a level of B+ or above. An honors minor in Asian studies consists o f a minimum of 5 credits, distributed as follows: 1. Geographic breadth. There are two tracks within the minor. Students should specify which track they intend to pursue when writing sophomore papers. a. Com parative A sian cultures. T h e selection of courses and honors preparation should allow a comparative perspective on the traditional or modem cultures o f 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 its of 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 of the five courses should come from the list of foundation courses (see earlier). 4. Asian language study. Asian language study is not required, but courses in Asian languages may count toward the honors minor. For languages offered at Swarthmore, courses above the second-year level count toward the minor. For Asian languages not offered at Swarthmore, courses at the entry level may be approved if at least the equivalent of 1.5 credits is successfully completed in a pro­ gram approved by the Asian studies faculty. 5. Honors 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. SH S fo r m inors. SH S for minors, normally done in the spring semester o f the senior year, will follow the norms established by the department in which the honors prepa­ ration is done. No course credit will be given for SH S for minors. SH S materials may be examined in regular written and some oral exams. 7. GPA requirem ent. A student must have at least a B+ in all courses applied to the hon­ ors minor. COURSES (See descriptions under individual departments to determine offerings for each semester.)

T h e 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 of Organic Chemistry, and two semesters of college mathematics (not ST A T 001 or M A TH 0 03) or the completion 112 Students who wish to minor in biology must take 6 credits, at least 4 of 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. BIO L 001 and 002 are re­ quired. 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 B IO L 093 or 094Special majors in biochemistry, psychobiology, biostatistics, and environmental science are also offered. W e offer teacher certification in biology through a program approved by the state of Pennsylvania. Because of a change in teacher certification regulations that occurred in November 2000, students completing certi­ fication through 2003 will need to fulfill some­ what different course requirements from those who complete certification in 2004 and be­ yond. For further information about the relevant set of requirements, please contact the Educational Studies chair, the Biology Department chair, or the Educational Studies Department Web site: www.swarthmore.edu/SocSci/Education/. Honois 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: animal physi­ ology, behavioral ecology, biomechanics, cell biology, developmental genetics, human genet­ ics, microbiology, neurobiology, plant physiolo­ gy, plant defense, and plant ecology. Students in honors also will undertake a substantial re­ search project (BIO L 180) and participate in senior honors study (BIO L 199). These efforts will be evaluated by external examiners, who will determine the level of honorific and grades for BIOL 180 and 199.

Finding evidence to understand the mechanis­ tic nature of competition in plants has been a long-standing and unresolved issue in ecologi­ cal studies. Today, invasive plant species are successfully removing native species from their natural habitats. If we are to minimize and/or control the effect o f invasive species, we need to understand their competitive abilities in comparison with native species. W hat makes invasive species so successful? W e will review the theoretical foundations of plant competi­ tion and learn natural history, physiology, mor­ phology, evolution, and ecology o f both native and invasive species occurring in the Crum Woods o f Swarthmore College.

T h e purpose of the Black Studies Program is (1 ) to introduce students to the history, cul­ ture, society, 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. Black studies has often stood in critical relation to the traditional disciplines. Its scholars have sometimes used a range o f nontraditional methodological tools and have pursued knowl­ edge that assumes the peoples and cultures of Africa and the African diaspora are central to understanding the world accurately. T h e cours­ es in the Black Studies Program at Swarthmore enhance the liberal arts tradition o f the C ol­ lege, acknowledging positivist, comparative, progressive, modernist and postmodernist, post­ colonial, 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 th e interdisciplinary minor should be made in the spring semester o f the sophomore year to the coordinator of the pro­ gram. A ll programs must be approved by the Comm ittee on Black Studies. REQUIREMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS A ll interdisciplinary minors in black studies 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 of the senior year; and three additional courses listed in the catalog that gain black studies credit. O f these three additional courses, at least one of them must be outside o f 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. B L S T 0 9 1:S p ecialT o p icsin Black Studies may take the form o f a tutorial (if there are fewer than three 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 o f 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 Com m ittee and the major department in the fall o f the senior year. Honors Minor A ll students participating in th e Honors Program are invited to define a minor in the 118 Black Studies Program. Honors minors in black studies do a single, 2-credit preparation. This preparation may be based on two units o f aca­ demic credit selected from the course offerings within the Black Studies Program, or it may be a 2-credit thesis written under program super­ vision. Honors minors must meet all other requirements o f 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 department. O ne of these credits may be B L ST 091. The student may also pair black studies courses together. Such course combinations could include H IS T 008B and RELO 010 or FREN 077 and EN G L 0 78 or ECO N 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 on a discipline that is outside of the student’s major. O ne unit of the 2-credit preparation by minors will satis­ fy the B L ST 091 requirement. T h e Black Studies Committee must approve proposals for either the 2-credit honors thesis or the honors course. T hat is usually done in the fall o f the student’s senior year. In the case o f the thesis, a Black Studies Comm ittee faculty 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 examiner. (A n honors the­ sis may include a videotape or audiotape of a creative performance activity in dance or music or other approved creative work.) COURSES Courses in the Black Studies Program are list­ ed later. Courses of independent study, special attachments on subjects relevant to black stud­ ies, and courses offered by visiting faculty (those courses not regularly listed in the cata­ log) may, at the discretion of the Black Studies Committee, be included in the program. Students who wish to pursue these possibilities should consult with the coordinator of the Black Studies Committee. T h e following courses may be counted toward a minor in black studies. Descriptions o f the courses 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. African-American Art S T U A 021.

Literature as Performance in Africa (Cross-listed as T H E A 009) Most of traditional as well as contemporary African and African-heritage literatures are produced in a cultural environment where the dominant mode o f communication is oral. In addition, the concept and practice o f perfor­ m ance is central to artistic expression in African and African-heritage tradition. This course shall consider, among other theoretical issues, the many ways in which literature as performance may be seen as a four-way encounter between text, context, artist, and audience, each one helping to enhance aes­ th etic experience and “enjoym ent o f the intrinsic qualities o f the act o f expression itself” (Bauman). T h e course provides an ap­ propriate intellectual framework for critical analysis, interpretation, and appreciation of a wide range of traditional and contemporary verbal/musical/dramatic art forms. Those forms include oral poetry, including epic, dirge, praise, libation, and so forth from Africa; dozens, toast, and so forth from the diaspora; the folk tale and other oral narrative genres; drama, including dance-drama, folk opera, popular theater, such as the Concert Party in G hana; oratory; and traditions of song: tradi­ tional, contemporary, popular, and so forth. Lectures, discussions, and readings are to be complemented with extensive use of audiovi­ sual recordings and presentations by one or two guest artists. Students will be expected to offer individual and/or group performance projects as part of the course. 1 credit. F all 20 0 2 . Anyidoho. 119 Black Studies BLST 015. Introduction to Black Studies 1 credit. This course introduces students to the breadth and depth o f the discipline of 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 also examines the movement from the more objectcentered Africana studies to subject- and agentic-oriented black studies that occurred as a result of the U .S. civil rights and anticolonial­ ist 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 be­ tween American, Caribbean, and African post­ colonialists, and it allows students to delve into some of black studies’ most current and excit­ ing scholarship with a focus on the United States.

Urban Education (Cross-listed as EN G L 079) English Literature T his course is a case study in creative writing across linguistic and cultural boundaries. W e begin with an examination of the peculiar location o f the creative writer in a colonial and postcolonial situation, with particular refer­ ence to the question o f language as the prima­ ry tool and medium o f creative intelligence. W e shall also look briefly at the extreme case of the silencing o f the tongue and reinvention o f mother tongues under transatlantic slavery. Against this historical and literary background, the class shall follow a few individual writers, tracing, defining, and demonstrating various strategies and processes involved in their par­ ticular attempts at bilingual creative practice. A n important dimension of their careers that will be considered is the artist as an Englishlanguage writer returning to his or her creative foundations as an African-language writer. In effect, we hope to demonstrate how each of these African writers may have achieved a unique creative voice that is at once firmly rooted in his or her own primary culture/tradition and yet speaks with reasonable resonance to his or her other heritage o f a wider world of letters.

T h e objective of the Chemistry Department is to provide sound training in the fundamental principles and basic techniques of science and to provide interested students with the oppor­ tunity for advanced work in the main subdisci­ plines of modem chemistry. REQUIREM ENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS T h e normal route for entrance to the ad­ vanced-level program is to take CH EM 010 followed by 022, 032, and 038. Students with an especially strong precollege background in chemistry are advised to begin with CHEM 010H . Such students will be asked to take a placem ent exam ination. Students seeking advanced placem ent credit may also be required t o 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 010, 022, 032, 034, 038, 045A/B, 046, 050, and one single-credit semi­ nar. Students should note the mathematics and physics prerequisites for Inorganic and Physical Chemistry. T hose considering a m ajor in chem ­ istry are strongly urged to com plete M A TH 005, 006A , 0 0 6 B , 018 and PHYS 0 0 3 , 004 (or 007, 008) by the end o f the sophom ore year. In addi­ tion, all students must complete CH EM 010, 022, and 034 before enrolling in a Chemistry Department seminar. Students should com­ plete these requirements by the fall semester of the junior year. Those students planning professional work in chemistry should include a fourth semester of mathematics and at least two additional credits in chemistry in their programs. Accreditation by the American Chem ical Society (A C S) is useful for those who intend to pursue a career in the chemical industry and requires a year of independent research through CH EM 094, 096, or 180. In addition, proficiency in reading scientific German, Russian, or French is an asset to the practicing chemist. T he College offers teacher certification in chem­ istry through a program approved by the state of Pennsylvania. Because of a change in teacher certification regulations that occurred in November 2000, students completing certifica­ tion through 2003 will need to fulfill somewhat different course requirements from those who complete certification in 2004 and beyond. For further information about the relevant set of requirements, please contact the Educational Studies Department chair or the Chemistry De­ partment chair, or visit the Educational Studies Department 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 research problems currently under investigation. Biochemistry Special Major The departments o f chemistry and biology have collaborated to offer a special major in biochemistry (see discussion o f special major, p. 71), which allows the student to gain a strong background in chemistry with special emphasis on the application o f chemistry to biochemical and molecular biological prob­ lems. T h e requirements include CH EM 022, 032, 034, 038, 045A/C, 046, 050, and 108. Biochemistry majors must also complete either (1) a biochemically related, sophomore-level biology course with a lab and a biochemically related, advanced biology seminar with a lab; or (2) two biochemically related, sophomorelevel biology courses (with labs). T h e term bio­ chemically related includes all Biology Group I courses and other courses that are deemed appropriate by consultation among members of the Chemistry and Biology departments. Students should note the mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology prerequisites for these courses. Those considering a major in biochem­ istry are strongly urged to complete MATH 005, 006A, 006B, 018 and PHYS 003, 004 (or 007, 008) by the end of the sophomore year. In addi­ tion, all students must complete CH EM 010, 022, and 034 before enrolling in a Chemistry Department seminar. Students should complete these requirements by the fall semester of the junior year. Research opportunities are available in both the Biology and Chemistry departments. Interested students should consult the chairs of the two departments. Chemical Physics Special Major The Chemistry Department has also collab­ orated with the Physics and Astronomy Department to offer a special major in chemi­ cal physics (see discussion o f special major, p. 71), which allows the student to gain a strong background in the study of chemical processes from a microscopic and molecular viewpoint. The 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 of 10 to 12 credits. Laboratory work at th e ad­ vanced level in either chemistry or physics is required. Mathematics courses in linear algebra and multivariable calculus are prerequisites to this work. In preparation for a major in chemical physics, students must complete: (1) CH EM 010/010H and 022; (2) PHYS 006, 007, 008 (PH YS 003, 004 can substitute, but the 006, 007, 008 sequence is strongly recommended); (3) fur­ ther work appropriate to the major in either chemistry (CH EM 0 3 4 ,045A/B and/or 046) or physics (PH YS 014 and 0 50); and (4) MATH 016 and 018 by the end of their sophomore year. A n example o f a major in chemical physics is CH EM 022, 034, 045A/B, 046, 050, and 104; and PH YS 007, 008, 014, 050, 111, and 113. CH EM 096 can be used for laborato­ ry work at the advanced level, but if a student should choose to opt out of the thesis require­ ment associated with CH EM 096, this credit must be replaced by either CH EM 046, CHEM 050, or PH YS 082. Chemistry Minor in Course A chemistry minor in the course program is also available. It is a 5-credit minor plus any necessary prerequisites. T h e chemistry credits must include 010, 022, and 03 4 plus 2 other credits, one o f which must be numbered 040 or higher. CH EM 001, CH EM 050, and research credits (CH EM 0 9 4 ,0 9 6 , and 180) may not be used to fulfill this requirement. Four of the 5 credits must be obtained at Swarthmore. HONORS PROGRAM Fields Available fnr Examination T h e fields offered by the Chemistry Depart­ m ent for examination as part o f the Honors Program are Topics in M odem Organic Chem ­ istry, Topics in Bioinorganic and Organometallic Chemistry, Chem ical Dynamics, Theory and Applications of Spectroscopy, Topics in Biochemistry, and Biophysics.

The Physical Basis of Biomolecular Structure and Function This course is an introduction to the interdis­ ciplinary field o f biophysics in which biological systems are explored using the quantitative perspective of the physical scientist. Rather than provide a comprehensive overview o f an extremely large field, the seminar presents a consistent perspective by focusing on two important examples o f biophysical problems that have dominated the literature: (1) How is the three-dimensional conformation o f a pro­ tein formed and stabilized? (2) W hat are the physical forces responsible for the unique prop­ erties of lipid bilayer membranes? Topics will include electrostatics o f solvated biomolecules, statistical thermodynamics of polymers, physi­ cal methods for studying macromolecules and biological energy transduction. T h e seminar will be largely textbook based, with regularly assigned problem sets. Prerequisites: CH EM 0 34 and CH EM 038. CHEM 096. Research Thesis Chemistry and biochemistry majors will be provided with an option of writing a senior research thesis in lieu of taking comprehensive examinations. Students are strongly urged to participate in on-campus research during the summer between their junior and senior years. T h e student will form an advisory committee to consist o f (but not be limited to) two mem­ bers of the Chemistry Department, one of whom is to act as the student’s research men­ tor. Although the details of the Research Thesis Program will be determined by the com­ m ittee and the student, certain minimum requirements must be met by all students selecting this option: 1. A minimum of 2 credits of CH EM 096 to be taken during the last three semesters of the student’s residence at Swarthmore. 2. A thesis based on the student’s research activity must be submitted before the last week o f classes o f the final semester.

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 Departm ent o f Classics teaches the Greek and Latin languages and literatures from the beginning level through honors seminars. Any 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 of 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. 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 A ncient 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 o f Classics encourages stu­ dents to spend a semester, usually during their junior year, at the Intercollegiate Center for Classical Studies in Rome. Here students from many Am erican colleges study Latin, Greek, Italian, art history, and the ancient city. They also take field trips in Rome and Italy. Swarth­ more College also helps to support the Ameri­ can Academy in Rome and the American School of Classical Studies in Athens, and its students have privileges at those institutions. 128 Classics students are eligible for the Susan P. Cobbs Scholarship, the Susan P. Cobbs Prize Fellowship, and the Helen F. North Award, for study abroad or for intensive beginning lan­ guage study in the summer. T h e Classics Department participates in the Medieval Studies Program, the Women’s Stud­ ies Program, the comparative literature major, and a special major in linguistics and languages. REQUIREMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Major and Minor 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 Greek 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 05.6); a 1-credit attachm ent (a substantial, independent project consisting of a thesis or a set of two or three related, shorter papers) to any of 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 REK 113. Adm ittance to seminars is based on the student’s ability to read Greek or Latin with the needed speed and comprehension. Those who intend to major or minor in Greek or Latin, or to major in ancient history, should complete the appropriate language courses numbered 011 and 012 (or their equivalent) as early as possible. In their last semester, majors who are not in the Honors Program take a comprehensive examination, including written final exams in three fields (usually corresponding to seminars taken) and an oral exam. 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. Minors 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. Honors Program For a major in Greek or Latin, preparation for honors exams will normally consist of 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 exam ination 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. combination of (three-hour) written and oral exams will be the mode of external assessment for seminars. For course-plus-attachment, the exam will be just an oral. GREEK GREK 001-002.

Readings from selected epic and dramatic poetry of the early empire will show that high ideals belong to a distant “Republican” past, while the Im­ perial present is bom of gore, violence, bad sex, and extravagant consumption. Finally, 20thcentury cinema will invite students to question what role stereotypes of ancient Rome play in American society nowadays. Primary distribution cou rse, hum anities. 1 credit. Spring 2003.

DllRGIN (Psychology) Committee: David Harrison (Linguistics) Hugh M . Lacey (Philosophy) Lisa Meeden (Computer Science) Kathy Siwicki (Biology) Janet C . Talvacchia (Mathematics and Statistics) T h e concentration for the Class o f ’03 or minor for the Class o f ’03 and beyond in cog­ nitive science has been developed to guide the programs o f those who are interested in the interdisciplinary study o f the mind, brain, and language, with an emphasis on formal structure and computation. T h e Cognitive Science Pro­ gram is designed to emphasize guided breadth across various disciplines that contribute to cognitive science as well as depth within a chosen discipline. T h e requirements for the concentration are identical to those for the minor, and the word concentration (or concen­ trate) may be substituted for minor throughout the following for the Class of ’03. A student may have many reasons for deciding to minor in cognitive science. Perhaps the sim­ plest is to indicate and explore a particular interest in cognitive science. W hatever your major, a minor in cognitive science 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 sensibly achieves the requirements of the minor. 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 who wish to use 2 credits in mathematics and statistics as one of 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 show a particular strength or depth in one of the six disciplines. REQUIREMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Minor Eight credits are required for the minor. One of these is a required introductory course, one is a capstone thesis, and the remaining six are to be distributed across three different disciplines as described subsequently. Because several of these credits may also count toward the stu­ dent’s major field, 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 of preparation. Such depth can be docu­ mented by completion of at least four courses from within a cognitive science discipline (even if some o f those courses are not directly related to cognitive science). Alternative cur­ ricular and extracurricular ways of fulfilling the depth requirement may be discussed with the coordinator. A ll minors must normally take .Introduction to Cognitive Science. Honors Minor To complete an honors minor in cognitive sci­ ence, students must complete all requirements listed earlier. T h e honors preparation for the m inor will norm ally be a 2-credit unit approved by the relevant department from courses listed for the minor. T h e minor prepa­ ration must be within a discipline that is not th e student’s honors major. Students are encouraged to develop an appropriate prepara­ tion in consultation with the coordinator.

T h e comparative literature major is adminis­ tered by a Comparative Literature Committee made up o f 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 o f the student, especially in the development and writing of 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 Litera­ tures departments, only courses in the original language numbered 011 or above are counted as constituents o f 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 o f study is based. T h e student will also submit 136 11 Program director, Swarthmore Program in Grenoble, fall 2002. a six- to 10-page writing sample from a previ­ ously completed course. T h e committee will review the proposal and the essay and advise the student. N ote: In lieu o f a regular course, the Com­ parative Literature Comm ittee will consider proposals for one or more research papers writ­ ten as course attachments as well as proposals to substitute an extended research paper for course credit. REQUIREM ENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Major in Course 1. T en credits in tw o or m ore literatures in the orig­ inal languages, including a substantial con­ centration o f work— normally four or five courses— in each o f 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 o f the special demands o f 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 I - or 2-credit thesis o f 5 0 to 60 pages, cov­ ering work in a t 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 stu­ dent will submit to the committee an out­ line for the thesis and propose faculty advis­ ers from appropriate departments. In some cases, the committee may ask that the thesis be written in whole or in part in the lan­ guage 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. Major or Minor in the Honors Program Procedures for All Majors A ll majors will meet with members o f the Comparative Literature Comm ittee before the end o f the junior year to review and assess the student’s program. A t this time, both course and honors majors will submit thesis proposals and propose faculty advisers. T h e courses and seminars that compose the comparative literature major’s formal field of study will naturally differ with each major. To give some sense o f the range o f possibilities available, a series o f sample programs are offered. SAM PLE: COMPARATIVE LITERATURE COURSE M AJOR Focus: The Black Atlantic Courses EN G L 005R .

Computer science is the study of algorithms and their implementation issues. This includes the study of computer systems; methods to specify algorithms (for people and computer systems); and the formulation o f theories and models to aid in the understanding and analy­ sis of 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 comput­ ing choices that can be tailored to satisfy vari­ ous interests and depths o f study. A ll the courses emphasize the fundamental concepts of computer science, treating today’s languages and systems as current examples o f the under­ lying concepts. T h e Computer Science Labor­ atory provides up-to-date software and hard­ ware facilities. Three entry points to the com­ puter science curriculum are available at Swarthmore. CPSC 010: G reat Ideas in C om puter Science is designed for freshmen with little or no com ­ puter science experience. It is an introduction that emphasizes breadth o f coverage over depth or skill building. This course is most appropriate for first- or second-year students who lack confidence in their computer science abilities. CPSC 0 21: 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 write programs and are comfortable with computers. This course is usually the first one for computer science m ajors and minors. Students with advanced placement credit or extensive programming experience may be able to place out o f this course. C P SC 022: Structure and Interpretation o f C om ­ puter Program s is designed for students who plan to take several courses in computer sci­ ence. T his course is a fast-paced introduction to the kind of abstraction used in all areas of computer science. A dialect of L ISP will be used. T his course is the best first selection for students who intend to be computer science majors or minors and are fluent in a language like C and feel comfortable about their abilities. 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 S cien ce Department offers course majors and minors and honors majors and minors. Students interested in any of these options are encouraged to meet with the chair of the Computer Science Department as early as possible in their college career. Students who are interested in a computer science major or minor are encouraged to take both C P SC 022 and C P S C 035 sometime in their first three semesters at Swarthmore. T h e minor in computer science is designed for students who desire a coherent introduction to the core top­ ics in the field but cannot afford the number of courses required of a major. Students complet­ ing the minor will possess intellectual skills that are useful in many disciplines. Students electing to do a course major or minor in computer science must have a gradepoint average of B or better in C P S C 021 (if exempted from C P SC 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. 139 Computer Science REQUIREMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS and a minor preparation.

Joint Special Majors Students who want to integrate computer sci­ ence with another discipline in a more formal manner may develop a special major combin­ ing the two areas of study. Such special majors require the approval of computer science and the other department. Special majors should be designed in consultation with the chair of the Computer Science Department as early possi­ ble in the student’s program. Approval of a special major is not guaranteed. It will depend on the availability of resources (both faculty and equipment) and the student’s demon­ strated 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 con­ sist o f two 2-credit preparations, one 2-credit research report or thesis, senior honors study, 140 1. Two 2-credit preparations to be selected from the combinations o f courses listed later. Each o f 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 circum­ stances, the Computer Science Depart­ ment may be willing to consider other groupings o f courses, seminars, or courses with attachments. If the required courses and preparations would not satisfy a course major, additional computer science courses must be taken to meet course major re­ quirements. In all cases, the Computer Science Department must approve the stu­ dent’s plan o f study. 2. O ne 2-credit research report or thesis to be read by an external examiner and an oral examination. A t a minimum, this will involve a review of scholarly papers from the primary literature of computer science and the writing of a scholarly, scientific paper. W e hope the paper will report on a research experience involving the student and faculty (here or elsewhere). It is expected that most of the research or scholarly groundwork will be completed before the fall semester o f the senior year, either by 1 credit o f work in the spring semester o f the junior year or full­ time summer work. Students will register for at least 1 credit o f thesis work to com­ plete the work and write the paper in the fall o f the senior year. It is expected that the paper will be completed by the end of the fall semester. To be eligible for an honors major in computer science students must: 1. Have a B+ average in all computer science courses completed by the end of junior year. These must include C P SC 021, C P SC 022, C P S C 035, and at least one o f C P SC 025 or C P S C 046. 2. Have demonstrated proficiency in mathe­ matical argument and reasoning by the end o f the junior year. Ordinarily, this profi­ ciency will be assumed if the student has: a.

STUDY ABROAD Students planning to major or minor in com­ puter science may opt to study abroad for one semester or a whole year. Because advanced courses in computer science are offered in only 141 Computer Science alternate years, some selections will be unavail­ able to some students. T h e chair o f the Com ­ puter Science Department should approve all courses of study abroad. T h e department will credit appropriate courses based on evidence presented by the student when they return to Swarthmore. GRADUATE STUDY Students interested in graduate study in com­ puter science will be well prepared with a com­ puter science major. Som e graduate programs will also accept students who have majored in mathematics or engineering and completed a sufficient number and selection of 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 Department. O ther majors are also reasonable for students with special interests. For example, a major in linguistics or psychol­ ogy might be appropriate for a student interest­ ed in artificial intelligence or cognitive sci­ ence. In such cases, students should consult with the chair o f the department as early as possible to ensure they take the necessary mathematics and computing courses for gradu­ ate work in computer science.

Economics is the study o f how scarce resources are allocated and the implications o f such allo­ cations. Because scarcity is a fundamental fact of social life, an understanding of economics is relevant for private and public decision mak­ ing. Most courses in the department address the questions o f how resources are actually allocated in real economies and how they should be ideally allocated. “Should” is a com ­ plex word and encompasses considerations of economic efficiency and distributional equity. Economics does not provide definitive answers to these questions, but it does give the student the tools needed to formulate and evaluate such answers. A knowledge o f elementary calculus is extremely useful to read economics literature critically. T h e department strongly recom­ mends that students take M ATH 005 and either M ATH 006A and 006C (basic calculus) or the series o f M A TH 006A , 006B , and M A TH 018. M A TH 016 (Linear Algebra) and M A TH 018 (Several Variable Calculus) are valuable for those who intend to focus on the more technical aspects of economics. Students who plan to attend graduate school in eco­ nomics should give serious thought to taking additional mathematics coursés such as MATH 0 3 0 (Differential Equations) and MATH 047 (Introduction to Real Analysis): ECO N 001 or its equivalent is a prerequisite fo r all other w ork in the departm ent. In addition, all majors in economics must take the three core courses: ECO N O il (Interm ediate M icro­ economics), ECO N 021 (Intermediate Macro­ economics), and ECO N 031 (Statistics for Economists). Students may substitute STA T 053 for Econ 031 (ST A T 001 or ST A T 002 do no t m eet the requirem ent). T h e statistics course in the Economics Department focuses more on the application of statistical tools to economic problems. T h e statistics courses in the Mathematics and Statistics Department focus more on the derivation o f the mathe­ matical and statistical properties of various estimators. To graduate as majors, students must have at least 8 credits in economics; have taken the three core courses; and, in their senior year, pass the comprehensive examination given early in the spring semester (course students) or the honors examinations given at the end of the spring semester (honors students). To be prepared for the comprehensive examination, course students are very strongly advised to complete ECON O il, ECO N 021, and ECON 031 (or its equivalent) before the second semester of their senior year. 146 Students who are contemplating a major in econom ics should consult Economics at Sw arthm ore: D epartm ent H andbook (available in the department office) for additional infor­ mation regarding the details of 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 through 2003 will fulfill the requirements for social studies certification, and those who complete certifi­ cation in 2004 and beyond will complete the requirements for citizenship education.

ECON 005. Savage Inaccuracies: The Facts and Economics of Education in America (Cross-listed as E D U C 069) The Economics Department does not offer a minor in economics except in the Honors Program. T h is course investigates the relationship between issues of resource allocation and edu­ cational attainment. It examines the facts about student achievement, educational ex­ penditure in the United States, and the rela­ tionship between them. It studies such ques­ tions as: Does reducing class size improve stu­ dent achievement? Does paying teachers more improve teacher quality and student outcomes? T h e course also investigates the relationship between educational attainment and wages in the labor market. Finally, it analyzes the effects of various market-oriented education reforms such as vouchers and charter schools. This course may be counted toward a concentration in public policy.

The Department o f Educational Studies has three purposes: to expose students to issues in education from a variety of disciplinary per­ spectives; to provide a range of field experi­ ences for students who wish to explore their aptitude and interest in teaching, counseling, or research in an educational setting; and to prepare students to be certified for entry into public school teaching, in accordance with the requirements o f Pennsylvania Chapters 354, 49, and 4Courses in the Department of Educational Studies are intended to be integral to the College’s academic offerings and, with the exception o f P ractice Teaching and the Curriculum and Methods Seminar, all educa­ tion courses include many students who do not intend to become teachers. Introduction to Education, for instance, is taken by approxi­ mately one-third o f each graduating class. T he program’s most important goal is to help stu­ dents learn to think critically and creatively about the process o f education and the place of education in society. To this end, both its introductory and upper-level courses draw on the distinctive approaches of psychology, soci­ ology, anthropology, political science, econom­ ics, and history. Because students major in a variety of disciplines, courses in education offer both an opportunity to apply the particular skills of one’s chosen field to a new domain and interaction with other students whose discipli­ nary approaches may differ significantly from one’s own. There is a lim it o f four field-based education credits (currently ED U C 016 and 091 A ) that can be counted toward graduation. E D U C 014: Introduction to Education is gen­ erally considered a prerequisite for further work in the program. SPECIAL MAJORS There is no major in Educational Studies, but special majors with history, linguistics, political science, psychology, sociology and anthropolo­ gy, and English literature are regularly ap­ proved, and special majors with other fields such as art, computer science, math, music, and biology also have been designed. Special majors involving education usually include 10 to 12 credits, at least 4 o f which must be in education, though typically there are 5 to 6 credits in each o f the two departments that make up the major. A thesis or a comprehen­ sive examination integrating work in the two fields is required. Both departments collaborate in advising students pursuing special majors. 153 Educational Studies HONORS PROGRAM FOREIGN STUDY Students may pursue the Honors Program in Educational Studies either as a part o f a special major or as a minor. Special m ajor H onors pro­ gram s will consist of 2.5 preparations in educa­ tion and 1.5 preparations in the other disci­ pline (or vice versa) where an integrative, 2credit thesis receives 1 credit from both depart­ ments. A ll edu cation special m ajors in the Honors Program will complete a 2-credit thesis and write a short intellectual autobiography that will be submitted to the honors examiner. E ducation m inors in the Honors Program will take a 2-credit seminar, a course and an attach­ ment, or write a 2-credit thesis to prepare for the external examination. T hey will also write an intellectual autobiography. 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 E D U C 014: Introduction to Education at Swarthmore. The Swarthmore course may be taken prior to study abroad or subsequent to it. Credit will be granted once Introduction to Education has been completed. COURSE MINORS Educational Studies 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 this minor comprises are Educational Psychology, Curriculum and Methods seminar, Practice Teaching (2 credits), and one o f the following: Educating the Young Learner, Adolescence, or Child Psychology and Practice. E ducational 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 policy, educational psychology, school and society, urban education, environmental edu­ cation, literacy, gender and education, and spe­ cial education. E D U C 016 and 017 will not count toward an Educational Studies minor. 154 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 “general standards” and “Spe­ cific Program Guidelines for State Approval of Professional Education Programs.” A s of fell 2004, social studies certificatioh will no longer be granted in Pennsylvania. Instead, certifica­ tion in citizenship education and social science education will be available. Individual student programs are designed in conjunction with departmental representatives and members of the education staff. A ll students seeking certi­ fication must meet Swarthmore College’s dis­ tribution requirements in the humanities, nat­ ural 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 of 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 3 5 4 as well as complete collegelevel math and English courses or meet the requirements for waivers before being admitted to the program. T hey must also pass the specif­ ic P R A X IS exams required by Pennsylvania for their certification area, either before or after they complete the teacher education course requirements at the College. A full description of the Swarthmore teacher education require­ ments (in education and in specific content fields/majors) is available on the educational studies W eb site: http://www.swarthmore.edu/SocSci/Education/. Ninth-sem ester option. Students who have com­ pleted all the requirements for certification in their discipline and in education, except for Student Teaching (E D U C 016) and Curriculum and Methods Seminar (ED U C 017) may apply to return following graduation to complete the Teacher Certification Program during a ninth semester. During this semester, they take ED U C 016 (2 credits) and ED U C 017, and they pay for a total of one course of tuition and student fees. They are not eligible for campus housing. Further information on the ninth-semester option is available in the Education Office. REQUIREMENTS FOR SECONDARY TEACHER CERTIFICATION Students who plan to seek secondary certifica­ tion should take ED 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 ED U C 017: Curric­ ulum and Methods Seminar in their senior year or during a ninth semester. In addition, they must complete the following sequence o f courses: . EDUC 021. Educational Psychology EDUC 023. Adolescence An additional elective course from the following: 1. EDUC 025. Counseling: Principles and Practices 2. EDUC 026. Special Education Issues and Practice 3. EDUC 042. Educating the Young Learner 4. EDUC 045. Literacies and Social Identities 5. EDUC 061. Gender and Education 6. EDUC 063. School and Society 7. EDUC 065. Environmental Education 8. EDUC 068. Urban Education An 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 ED 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 of the education faculty who have taught the student. Place­ ment of students for practice teaching is con­ tingent on successful interviews with the chair o f the Educational Studies Departm ent Pro­ gram and with appropriate secondary school personnel. Elementary Certification Option Swarthmore College does no t offer certifica­ tion in elementary education. However, if stu­ dents complete the Swarthmore courses listed later, and enroll for two courses at Eastern College (Communication Arts for Children and Teaching o f Reading), they can receive elementary certification through Eastern College. T he required Swarthmore courses for elementary certification are Introduction to Education; Educational Psychology; Develop­ m ental Psychology; Teaching the Young Learner; Practice Teaching; Curriculum and Methods Seminar; and a series o f workshops in math, social studies, and science methods. TITLE II TEACHER EDUCATION REPORT A s required by Title II of the Higher Education A ct, Swarthmore College has submitted data to the Pennsylvania Department o f Education regarding the cohorts of students who complet­ ed the Teacher Certification Program between September 1999 and August 2001. Swarth­ more College’s Secondary Certification pro­ gram completers had a 100 percent pass rate on all of the required P R A X IS tests: Reading, Writing, Math, Listening, and the Principles of Learning and Teaching 7-12. There was also a 100 percent pass rate on all subject specialty tests, but these could not be officially reported because there were fewer than 10 people taking the tests in any o f the subject areas. Swarth­ more students in these two cohorts passed the P R A X IS subject area tests in biology, English, math, and social studies. A ll of the Swarth­ more College elementary certification candi­ dates, who participated in the joint program with Eastern College also passed all of the required PR A X IS tests. A ll of the Swarthmore 155 Educational Studies College graduates who were certified and desired employment as a teacher held teaching positions in the academic year following certifi' cation. Most chose to teach in the Philadelphia metropolitan area, though in a typical year, many Swarthmore teacher education graduates teach throughout the country. For further infor­ mation included in the Title II report, please see the Educational Studies W eb site: http://www.swarthmore.edu/SocSci/Education/. covers: lesson planning; classroom manage­ m ent; inquiry-oriented teaching strategies; questioning and discussion methods; literacy; the integration o f technology and media; class­ room-based and standardized assessments; instruction of special-needs populations; topics in multicultural, nonracist, and nonsexist edu­ cation; and legislation regarding the rights of students and teachers.

T h e professional practice o f engineering re­ quires creativity and confidence in applying sci­ entific knowledge and mathematical methods to solve technical problems o f ever-growing complexity. T h e pervasiveness o f advanced technology within our economic and social infrastructures demands that engineers more fully recognize and take into account the potential economic and social consequences that may occur when significant and analytical­ ly well-defined technical issues are resolved. A responsibly educated engineer must not only be in confident command of current analytic and design techniques but also have a thorough understanding of social and economic influ­ ences and an abiding appreciation for cultural and humanistic traditions. Our program sup­ ports these needs by offering each engineering student the opportunity to acquire a broad yet individualized technical and liberal education. able to adapt to new technical challenges, able to communicate effectively, and able to collab­ orate well with others. REQUIREMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Mission As stated in the introduction 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 ith in this co n text, the Engineering Department seeks to graduate stu­ dents with a broad, rigorous education, empha­ sizing strong analysis and synthesis skills. Our graduates will be well-rounded, responsible, 160 Objectives Graduates with the bachelor of science degree in engineering will have the following: 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 communications skills 5. Ability to adapt to changing situations and new technical challenges Our departmental major program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology. T h e structure of the department’s curriculum permits engineering majors to devote as much as three-eighths of their course work to the humanities and social sciences. W ithin their four-year course of study, 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 sec­ ond academic discipline. 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 mechan­ ics, fossil and solar energy conversion, acoustics, nonlinear dynamics, and environ­ mental water and air pollution control. T h e laboratories contain a wide variety o f modem measurement equipment configured for com ­ puter-assisted data acquisition and process con­ trol. The department’s facilities also include a workstation laboratory with high performance color graphics and industry-standard engineer­ ing design, analysis, and graphics software. Electronics, metal, and woodworking shops that support our courses and laboratories are also available for student use. Courses Readily Available to Students Not Majoring or Minoring in Engineering High-Performance Composites (001), Explor­ ing Acoustics (0 0 2 ), Problems in Technology (003), and A rt and Science of Structures (007) are designed for students contemplating only an introduction to engineering. Mechanics (006) is primarily for prospective majors, but other interested students, particularly those preparing for careers in architecture or biome­ chanics, are encouraged to enroll. Introduction to Environmental Protection (004A ), Opera­ tions Research (0 5 7 ), Solar Energy Systems (035), W ater Quality and Pollution Control (063), Swarthmore and the Biosphere (004B ), Environmental Systems (066), and Environ­ mental Policy and Politics (0 04C ) appeal to many students majoring in other departments, particularly those pursuing an environmental studies minor. Students interested in comput­ ers, including computer science majors or minors, may wish to consider Fundamentals of Digital Systems (0 1 5 ), Principles of Computer Architecture (0 2 5 ), Computer Graphics (026), Computer Vision (0 2 7 ), and Robotics (028). Students majoring in the physical sciences or mathematics may enroll routinely in advanced engineering courses. Department faculty mem­ bers also support minors in computer science and environmental studies and a special major with the Linguistics Program. Note that Engineering Methodology, HighPerformance 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 as free electives subject to the 20-Course Rule. Course Major T h e requirements for th e course major described subsequently apply to students whose class enters in the fall of 2002 or 2003. T h e department recommends that students complete requirements from two categories: (1) 12 engineering credits and (2) 8 credits in science and mathematics. W ithin the second category, students must receive 2 credits in physics, 1 in chemistry, and 4 in math. T h e 2 physics credits must include either PH YS 003 and 004 or 007 and 008 or the equivalent. Students must also receive credit for CH EM 0 1 0 or the equivalent. A minimum of 4 credits in mathematics, including M A TH 030 and normally including M A TH 005, 006, and 018 or the equivalent are required. T h e unspecified course in the second category should comple­ m ent the student’s overall program of study and will normally be from one of the following Swarthmore departments: Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, or Physics and Astronomy. T h e unspecified course must also be acceptable for credit toward a minimal major in the offer­ ing department to count toward an engineer­ ing major. No courses intended to satisfy these departmental requirements, except those taken fall semester in the first year, may be taken credit/no credit. Students majoring in engineering are required to take at least six core courses within the first category. Every major must take the following four courses: M echanics (EN G R 0 0 6 ), Electric Circuit Analysis (EN G R 0 11), Thermofluid M echanics (EN G R 0 4 1 ), and Engineering Design (EN G R 0 9 0 ), usually in that order. Each student must also take two or three of the following courses: Linear Physical Systems Analysis (EN G R 0 12), Experimentation for Engineering Design (E N G R 0 1 4 ), or Fundamentals of Digital Systems (EN G R 015). Engineering Design is the culminating experi­ ence for engineering majors and must be taken in the spring of the senior year. Submission and oral presentation of the final project report in Engineering Design constitutes the compre­ hensive examination for engineering majors. Elective Program for Course Majors Each student devises a program o f advanced work in the department in consultation with his or her adviser. These programs normally include five or six courses depending on the 161 Engineering number o f core courses taken. T hey are sub­ mitted for departmental approval as part of the formal application for a major in engineering during the spring semester o f the sophomore year. A student’s elective program may not conform to some traditional or conventional area of engineering specialization (e.g., computer, electrical, m echanical, or civil). Therefore, the department requires each plan of advanced work to have a coherent, well-justified program that meets the student’s stated educational objectives. Typical elective program plans include the fol­ lowing: 1. E lectrical engineering group. E lectronic Circuit Applications, Physical Electronics, Electrom agnetism , Com m unication Systems, Digital Signal Processing, V LSI Design, and Control Theory and Design. Students having an interest in digital sys­ tems might replace one or more o f these courses w ith Principles o f Computer Architecture, or Computer Graphics. 2. C om puter engineering group. Principles of Computer Architecture, Computer Graph­ ics, Computer Vision, and Robotics. Stu­ dents with an interest in computer hardware may include Electronic Circuit Applica­ tions, 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, Therm al Energy Conversion, Solar Energy System s, 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 R ock M echanics, 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 A cadem ic advising. Students interested in pur- 162 suing a minor must find a faculty member with­ in the Engineering Department to advise them. If possible, this faculty member should have interests that overlap the area o f the minor. Students who encounter difficulties in identi­ fying an adviser should seek the assistance of the chair o f the Engineering Department. Students who plan to minor in engineering should regularly consult their engineering advisers. T h e sophomore papers o f engineering minors should indicate the plan to minor and the courses chosen to fulfill the minor. R equirem ents. A minimum o f 5 credits in engi­ neering is required, of which at least 2 but not more than 3 must be core courses (EN G R 006, O il, 0 1 2 ,0 1 4 ,0 1 5 , or 041 but not EN G R 090). T h e remainder will be selected from elective course offerings within the department. Only those electives that count toward an engineer­ ing 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. • N o directed readings may be used as one of the 5 credits for the minor. • A maximum o f 1 transfer credit that is pre­ approved by the Engineering Department will be accepted as partial fulfillment of the minor requirements. Transfer credits will not count for one o f the two courses used to fulfill the core course requirement of 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 who w ant to use foreign study' or domestic exchange work in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the minor should consult their academic advisers and the chair of the Engineering Department as early as possible to ensure that all requirements are met. • N o culminating experience will be required. Only students pursuing the major in engi­ neering may enroll in E N G R 0 9 0 . A reas o f study. Although packaged selections of courses will be suggested as options for those interested in an engineering minor, students may tailor their programs to meet individual needs and interests in consultation with their adviser(s). Honore Major or Minor Students with a B+ average among courses in the D ivision o f Natural Scien ces and Engineering may apply for an honors major in engineering. T h is B+ average must be main­ tained through the end of the junior year 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 no t more than 1 credit within any preparation. Honors Major Honors m ajors must com plete th e same requirements as course majors in engineering. In addition: • The honors major in engineering is a fourexamination program that includes three preparations in engineering (the major) and one minor preparation. Each area comprises 2 credits of work. N one o f the core courses (except E N G R 09 0 ) may be used in the preparations. • The minor preparation must comprise at least 2 credits o f work approved by any department or program outside engineering. • Each major candidate must accumulate 12 credits in engineering, including E N G R 090, and the same number o f science and math credits as required of course majors. All engineering graduates will receive an ABET-accredited bachelor o f science degree. • If one of the major preparations includes ENGR 090, it must be paired with an appro­ priately related upper-level engineering elective or a 1-credit honors thesis to be completed in the fall semester of senior year. Honors thesis credit may not substitute for any of the 12 engineering credits required for the bachelor o f science. Candidates who choose an honors thesis will complete at least 13 credits in engineering and 33 from across the College. T h e two additional major preparations must each comprise two related, upper-level engineering electives. A précis of not more than 12 pages (including tables and figures) o f each candidate’s ENGR 0 90 project must be submitted by the end of the 10th week o f the spring semester for mailing to the relevant honors examiner. The final EN G R 0 90 report will not be mailed to any examiner but may be brought to the oral examinations. • Senior honors study by engineering majors is no t required. Honors Minor • Senior honors study is required for all engi­ neering honors minors, except those who are also engineering course majors. For those no t majoring in engineering, the senior honors study is the culminating experience. Course majors will not take senior honors study because EN G R 09 0 serves as the cul­ minating experience. • Every engineering honors minor preparation must 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, then senior hon­ ors study is also required. Credits from offi­ cial 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. • Prerequisites to upper-level engineering electives may be waived by the department, depending on the student’s documentation of equivalent work in another department at the time of application. • Formats o f examination will follow those appropriate for the engineering major. Prospective engineering majors and minors receive more specific information about course and honors programs from the department each December. Additional information is also available on the engineering W eb site at http://www.engin.swarthmore.edu. Poland Foreign Study Program A program o f study is available at the Technical University o f Krakow Poland for stu­ dents who desire an engineering foreign study experience in a non-English-speaking country. Normally occurring in the spring o f the junior year, students take courses taught in English consisting o f two engineering electives and the survey course Environm ental S cien ce and Technology in Poland plus an intensive orien­ tation course on Polish language and culture provided by the Jagiellon ian University.

T his department offers courses in English liter­ ature, American literature, Native American literature, A frican and Caribbean literatures, Asian and Asian American literatures, gay and lesbian literatures, drama, film, some foreign literatures in translation, creative writing, crit­ ical theory, and journalism. T h e departmental curriculum includes the intensive study of works o f major writers, major periods of literary history, and the development o f literary types; it also provides experience in several critical approaches to literature and dramatic art and explores certain theoretical considerations implicit in literary study, such as the problem­ atics o f canon formation and the impact of gender on the creation and reception o f liter­ ary works. (Exempted from this prerequisite are juniors and seniors). Introductory courses attempt in a variety o f ways to reflect the diversity of inter­ ests— with respect to subject matter, theoreti­ cal approach, literary genre, historical period, and race and gender— characteristic of the departmental offerings as a whole. Introduc­ tory courses are characterize^ by syllabi with less reading than in advanced courses, by fre­ quent short papers with some emphasis on rewriting, by self-conscious examination of methodology, and by considerable attention to class discussion; they are viewed fry the depart­ ment as particularly appropriate for freshmen and are primary distribution courses. 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 mini­ mum requirement for admission as a major or as a minor in English is two semester-courses in the department— normally an introductory course and an advanced •literature course. REQUIREMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS A ny introductory course— EN G L 0 0 5 A through 005Z and 006A through 006Z— is the prerequisite for all other courses in literature. 172 (Students w ith A dvance Placem ent [AP] 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 of 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 of the English Department for infor­ mation about courses in other departments complementary to their work in English; work in foreign languages is especially recommended. Students who plan to do graduate work, to fol­ low a course o f professional training, or to seek teacher certification in English, should see a member of 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 of Pennsylvania. Because of a changé in teacher certification regulations that occurred in November 2000, students completing certification during 2002 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 of requirements, please contact the Department o f Educational Studies chair, the English Department chair, or the Department of Educational Studies Web site: www.swarthmore.edu/SocSci/Education/. Students wishing to study abroad should con­ sult with the department chair far enough in advance of such study to effect proper planning of a major or minor. In determining which courses of 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 examination 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 j appropriate department faculty. For further details concerning department policies for study abroad, consult the department state­ ment filed with the Office of Foreign Studies. Course Major T h e work of a major in course consists of a minimum of eight units of credit in the depart­ ment, including at least three units in litera­ ture written before 1830 (such courses are marked with a * ) and three in literature writ­ ten after 1830. Students should also read some critical theory, but such theory is now an important element in most of our courses. Courses marked with a * * * may be counted as pre-1830 or post-1830 but not both. Intro­ ductory courses may not be counted as part of the pre-1830 or post-1830 requirement. Stu­ dents must also write a senior essay. Details about the essay are available in the English Literature Department Office. Course Minor T h e work of a minor in course consists of a minimum o f five units o f credit in the depart­ ment, including at least one unit in literature written before 1830 (such courses are marked with a * ) and one in literature written after 1830. Honors Major Majors in English who seek a degree with honors will in the spring of their sophomore year propose for external examination a pro­ gram consisting of four fields: three in English and one in a minor. T h e three preparations in the major (constituting six units of credit) will be constituted as follows: A ll three prepa­ rations will normally be done through semi­ nars (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 of their overall work in the department, must meet the general major requirement of three units of credit in litera­ ture 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 hand­ out. Students who wish either to write a thesis or pursue a creative writing project under faculty supervision as part o f their Honors Program 173 English Literature must submit proposals to the department; the number o f these ventures the department can sponsor each year is limited. Students who pro­ pose creative writing projects will normally be expected to have completed at least one writ­ ing workshop as part of, or as a prelude to, the project; the field presented for examination will thus normally consist o f a 1-credit work­ shop plus a 1-credit Directed Creative Writing Project. For further information, including deadlines for Directed Creative W riting pro­ posals, see rubric under EN G L 070K . Honors Minor Minors must do a single, 2-credit preparation in the department by means o f a seminar (or, under special circumstances, a creative writing project). Minors are required to do a total of at least five units of work in English (includ­ ing their honors preparation). 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 programs. Creative Writing Emphasis Students who want to major in English with an emphasis in creative writing— whether course or honors majors— must complete three units o f creative writing in addition to the usual departmental requirements o f pre-1830 and post-1830 units. T h e creative writing credits will normally consist of two workshops (EN G L 070A -E or G ) and EN G L 070K : Directed Creative W riting Projects. Students may count toward the program no more than one work­ shop offered by departments other than English Literature. Admission into the pro­ gram will depend on the quality of the stu­ dent’s written work and the availability o f fac­ ulty to supervise the work. Students who are interested in the program are urged to talk both with the department chair and with one o f the department faculty who regularly teach the workshops.

Insights Into Academic Writing T his course offers students an opportunity to develop their skills as college writers. Through frequent practice, class discussion, and in-class activities, students will become familiar with all aspects o f the writing process and will develop their ability to write for an academic audience. A variety o f writing assignments, given throughout the course, will offer students an opportunity to work with different purposes and for different audiences. Readings have been selected to serve as an impetus for critical reading, writing, and thinking. Students will also participate in conferences w ith the instructor to discuss writing related to the course as well as other academic assignments. agency, structures of power, and possibilities for social transformation.

Deadlines for the writ­ ten applications for the Directed Creative 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 ). T he approximate range o f pages to be sent forward to the examiners will be 20 to 30 pages of poet­ ry or 30 to 50 pages of fiction. There will be no 183 English Literature 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 purposes of the transcript, the creative writing project will be assigned a grade corresponding to the degree of 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 of 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. 1 credit.

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 environmental problems and to en­ courage students to develop their own perspec­ tives on these problems. T h e environmental studies concentration is one way the College meets these responsibilities. REQUIREMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Environmental studies is truly interdisciplinary and offers numerous opportunities for rigorous interdisciplinary work because environmental issues have scientific, engineering, social, political, economic, literary, and philosophical dimensions that must be addressed. T h e con­ centration helps guide students to the many academic fields that afford a perspective on environmental problems and enables them to explore questions most compelling to them from the vantage point of various disciplines in the natural and social sciences, engineering, and the humanities. Absent on leave, 2002-2003. A concentration in environmental studies consists o f an integrated program of five cours­ es plus a capstone seminar taken in addition to a regular major. Concentrators must take five courses from the list that follows, including at least one course in both environmental science/technology and 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 cho­ sen 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 Committee on Environmental Studies to have courses taken at other institutions fulfill some of these requirements. A t least three of the five courses must be outside the major. T h e interdiscipli­ nary minor will require four courses outside the major for the Class of 2004 and optionally for the Class o f 2003. O ne o f the courses may be independent work or a field study (in the U nited States or abroad) supervised by a mem­ ber o f the committee (EN V S 0 90). In addition to the five courses, each concentrator will par­ ticipate in the capstone seminar in environ­ mental studies (EN V S 0 9 1 ) during the spring 191 Environmental Studies semester of the senior year. T h e capstone sem­ inar will involve advanced interdisciplinary work on one or more issues or problems in environmental studies. Leadership of the cap­ stone seminar rotates among the members of the Faculty Com m ittee on Environm ental Studies. COURSES IN ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE/TECHNOLOGY T h e environmental science/technology cate­ gory includes courses that emphasize tech­ niques and methodologies o f the sciences and engineering and whose subject is central to environmental studies. Therefore, all concen­ trators will be familiar with a body of scientific knowledge and scientific approaches to envi­ ronmental problems. CH EM 001. Chemistry in the Human Environment the consequences o f new technologies were for human kind and the surrounding environ­ ment.

COURSES IN ENVIRONM ENTAL SOCIAL SCIENCES/HUMANITIES T h e environmental social science/humanities category includes courses that are central to environmental studies and focus on values, their social contexts, and their implementation in policies. Thus, all concentrators will have stud­ ied the social context in which environmental problems are created and can be solved. BIO L 036. Ecology ECO N 076.

Moving images have been one of the most dis­ tinctive innovations and experiences o f the past century. In today’s media-dependent cul­ ture, developing a critical understanding and a historical knowledge o f media forms is vital. Film and media studies provides an interdisci­ plinary understanding of 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 o f 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. REQUIREM ENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 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 subsequently. Students interested in pursuing a special major in film and media studies should review the following guidelines 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 of study in the junior year or early in the senior year. T his proposal should be developed in consultation with advisers from the Film and Media Studies Comm ittee and is subject to approval. 194 Minor A ll students must take a minimum o f 5 credits, which may be selected from the courses and seminars listed later or from those taken abroad, at Bryn Mawr, Haverford, or Univer­ sity o f Pennsylvania, when the work is ap­ proved by the committee. T h e 5 credits should include F M S T 001: Introduction to Film and Media Studies, normally taken in the first or second year; and F M ST 092: Film Theory and Culture, normally taken in the senior year. Additional courses in aesthetics, film/media history, national cinemas, production, visual ethnography, and cultural studies should be selected w ith a broad program in mind. Students in the Class o f 2003 may choose to graduate with either the concentration or the minor in film and media studies; the require­ ments are identical. Honors Minor Students in the Honors Program may minor in film and media studies by meeting the require­ ments set forth earlier and by preparing for and taking one external exam. T h e preparation usually consists of F M ST 092: Film Theory and Culture plus the 1-credit honors attachment 092A but may incorporate a 1- or 2-credit the­ sis or other course combination or seminar work with the approval o f the film and media studies coordinator. A t least 2 credits of the work in the honors minor must be in a depart­ m ent or field outside the student’s honors major. Senior honors study (SH S) may consist o f a revised essay submitted for a course or sem- inar in the preparation or may follow the SH S procedures for the seminar in question. No SHS is available for a thesis. Special Major Special course or honors majors in film and media studies must be approved by the Film and Media Studies Committee and by the departments from which the applicant intends to draw 2 or more credits for the program. Students must take a minimum o f 9 credits. FMST 001 and F M S T 092 are required, and students must also take at least 1 course in a national cinema. Special majors will write a thesis or do a thesis project (FM ST 098 or 180) to fulfill the senior comprehensive require­ ment. Students are encouraged to take F M ST 002 or a film/video production course at anoth­ er institution. Remaining courses and seminars may be drawn from a range o f departments (work in at least two departments in addition to film and media studies is required for each program). Such courses do not have to be selected from the list below if they are approved by the film and media studies coor­ dinator (e.g., Directing or Lighting Design in Theater or Photography in A rt). nical foundation as well as to familiarize stu­ dents with the aesthetic principles underlying a variety o f film styles and traditions.

The minor in Francophone studies explores areas and peoples 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 achievements and thus will examine cultural diversity and identity at all community levels. Through the use of analyti­ cal methods drawn from both the humanities and the social sciences, the minor encourages interdisciplinarity in courses, seminars, and student programs of study. W ithin a cultural studies approach, various perspectives will be used to establish new critical and theoretical paradigms to understand better the complex relations and reciprocal influences between “centers” and “peripheries.” Through the study of an important transna­ tional culture, the minor will prepare students for graduate education and careers in interna­ tional relations, business, law, and academic disciplines and enable them to participate bet­ ter in our increasingly globalized world. Besides the study of Francophone language, literature, and culture courses offered in the Department of Modem Languages, students will have the 10 Campus coordinator, Swarthmore Program in Grenoble, spring 2003. 11 Program director, Swarthmore Program in Grenoble, fall 2002. 12 Program director, Swarthmore Program in Grenoble, spring 2003. opportunity of using French-language materials in many of the courses and seminars offered by other departments. REQUIREMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS A minor in Francophone studies consists of 5 credits from courses designated subsequently. Students should note that m ost courses have pre­ requisites, 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 com e from courses mark­ ed #. Only 1 credit taken abroad may count toward the minor. A t least 3 credits must come from core courses and seminars, whereas only 2 credits may come from cognate courses or semi­ nars. Students are expected to work in at least two departments. To ensure a strong groundwork for all minors, 1 of the credits must be a core course; we partic­ ularly recommend FREN 025 and H IS T 022, but any o f the core courses or seminars can function as an introductory course. In addition 197 Francophone Studies to the 5 credits, each minor will complete a 15to 20-page independent, interdisciplinary senior paper. T h e initial proposal and bibliog­ raphy, which are due immediately after the Thanksgiving break, must be approved by two professors in two different departments. T h e completed paper is due at the end o f spring break. T h e defense will occur in May. Students are required to be proficient in the French language: to complete FREN 004 or the equivalent. T hey 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. FREN 023. Topics in French Civilization# FREN 024.

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 19th and 20th centuries. Figures such as G oethe, Wagner, Nietzsche, Marx, and Freud, for example, go beyond the boundaries o f particular disciplines. In addi­ tion, 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 German 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 he 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. REQUIREMENTS ANU REC0MMENBATI0NS Students are required to take 5 credits from designated courses in German 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. It is required that students do substantial work in the Germ an language (G E R M 00 4 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. After studying abroad, concentrators must take at least one additional class in Germ an 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. N ote: A student can accomplish a special major in German studies by taking 5 addition­ al credits from the courses listed subsequently. Course Minor R equirem ents. T h e requirements for the G er­ man studies course minor are identical to the general requirements (5 credits, including the core course G ER M 014) except that students need not write an interdisciplinary thesis. Honors Minor Requirem ents. T h e Germ an studies concentra­ tion offers only a minor in the Honors Program. Students in the Honors Program are expected to be sufficiently proficient in spo­ ken and written German to complete 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 201 German Studies both in the department and at the College. P rerequisites. G ER M 0 14 and an advanced course in Germ an studies.

COURSE OFFERINGS AND PREREQUISITES lent preparation for law school and enabled them to succeed as attorneys. 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 o f today; and an understanding o f the nature o f history as a dis­ cipline. T he 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 view­ points, of those ideas and institutions— politi­ cal, religious, social, economic, and cultural— by which people have endeavored to order their world. T h e History Department’s curricu­ lum introduces students to historical method­ ology and the fundamentals o f historical research and writing. Courses and seminars offered by the History Department are integral to; most interdiscipli­ nary programs, such as black studies, Francophone studies, Germ an studies, Latin American studies, peace studies, and women’s studies as well as to the majors in Asian studies and medieval studies. Students interested in these programs should consult the appropriate statements o f requirements and course offer­ ings. In addition, we encourage students who wish to obtain teaching certification to major in history (see section o n Teaching Certification for more information). The study o f 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 o f the econ­ omy, 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 pub­ lic sector. In particular, many o f our former majors claim that studying history was excel­ Survey Courses Survey courses (002-011) are open to all stu­ dents without prerequisites and are designed to serve the needs of students who seek a general education in the field as well as to provide preparation for a range o f upper-level courses. Survey courses provide broad chronological coverage o f a particular field o f history. Although these entry-level courses vary some­ what in approach, they normally focus on major issues o f interpretation, the analysis of primary sources, and historical methodology. First-Year Seminars First-year seminars (H IS T 001A -001Z ; 1 cred­ it) explore specific historical issues or periods 203 History in depth in a seminar setting; they are open to first-year students and are limited to 12 stu­ dents. Students who are no t admitted to firstyear seminars in the fall will receive priority for seminars in the spring. Upper-Division Courses Upper-division courses (H IS T 012-099; 1 cred­ it) are specifically them atic and topical 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 of the following: (1 ) taken one of the courses num­ bered 0 0 1 -0 1 1 ; (2 ) received an Advanced Placement score of 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 th e permission o f 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. Double-Credit Seminars Admission to these seminars is selective and based on an evaluation o f the student’s poten­ tial to do independent work and to contribute to seminar discussions. A minimum grade of B+ in at least two history courses is required of all students entering seminars. In addition, the opinions of department members who have taught the student 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 m erit o f each request on the basis o f the importance of 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 of your sophomore year, you will be one of 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 Major and Minor Admission to the department as a major or minor normally requires at least two history courses taken at Swarthmore with a B average and a satisfactory standard o f work in all courses. Courses in G reek and Rom an history offered by the Classics Department count toward this prerequisite. Students who intend to continue the study of history after gradua­ tion should bear in mind that a reading knowl­ edge o f one or two foreign languages is gener­ ally assumed for admission to graduate school. A ll majors (course and Honors programs) in history must take at least 9 credits in history that 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 of the following categories: (a) all courses and seminars before 1750 (including C L A S 031, 032, 042, 044, and 056) and (b) all courses and seminars in areas outside Europe and the United States, specifically Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Near East. This distribution requirement is designed to have students explore various fields o f history and engage in comparative historical analysis. A list o f these distribu­ tion courses is on file in the department office. C ou rse M ajor Complete the Senior Research Seminar (HIST 091) in which students write a research paper based on primary and secondary sources. This course satisfies the College’s requirement that all majors and concentrations have a culminat­ ing exercise for their majors. T he research paper should build on a cluster o/ courses that the student has defin ed. T he departm ent encourages students to suggest possible research topics in their sopho­ m ore papers and requires them to select topics by the end o f their junior year. C ou rse M inor Complete 5 history credits at Swarthmore College (AP, transfer credit, and foreign study courses do not count). Two of the 5 credits must be from courses above the introductory level and must include H IS T 091 and/or an honors seminar. T hesis A student who wishes to write a thesis should state her or his intention by submitting a pro­ posal at the beginning o f the senior year. T he department must approve the topic before the student can enroll in H IS T 092 (Thesis). T he thesis should be a work o f about 10,000 to 15,000 words (50-75 pages), and a brief oral examination will be conducted on completion of the thesis. M ajor an d M in or in th e H on ors P rogram (E xternal E x am in ation P rogram ) Seminars are the normal mode of preparation for students majoring in history in the Honors Program. Majors in the Honors Program will complete three double-credit seminars and revise one paper per seminar for their portfolio submitted to external exam iners. Revised papers will no t be graded but will be included in the portfolio to provide examiners a context for the evaluation o f the written examination taken in the spring o f the senior year. Students may substitute Honors Thesis (H IS T 180) for one of their seminars. T h e thesis and revised seminar papers are due by May 2. Minors in the Honors Program will complete one double-credit seminar in addition to 3 credits taken at Swarthmore (AP, transfer cred­ it, and foreign study courses do not count) and include one revised paper from that seminar in their portfolio. Students in seminars take a three-hour written examination at the end of each seminar and will receive a grade from the seminar instructor for their overall performance in the seminar, including the written examination. Seminar instructors will not normally assign grades dur­ ing the course of the seminar, but they will meet periodically with students on an individ­ ual basis during the course o f the semester and discuss their progress. Seminars are a collective, collaborative, and cooperative venture among students and facul­ ty members designed to promote self-directed learning. A ctive participation in seminar is, therefore, required o f all students. Evaluation of performance in seminar will be based on the quality of seminar papers and comments during seminar discussions, in addition to the written examination. Because the seminar depends on the active participation o f all its members, the department expects students to live up to the standards of honors. These standards include attendance at every seminar session, submis­ sion o f seminar papers according to the dead­ line set by the instructor, reading o f seminar papers before coming to seminar, completion of all reading assignments before seminar, respect of the needs o f other students who share the reserve binders and readings, and eagerness to engage in a scholarly discussion of the issues raised by the readings and seminar papers. T h e department reminds students that the responsi­ bility for earning honors rests squarely on the students’ shoulders and will review on a regular basis their performance in the program. Failure to live up to the standards outlined previously may disqualify students from continuing in the Honors Program. Students earn double-credit for seminars and should be prepared to work at least twice as hard as they do for single-credit courses. T h e revised seminar papers are written in two stages. During the first stage, students must confer with their seminar instructor as to what papers they are preparing for honors and what revisions they plan for these papers. Seminar instructors will offer advice on how to improve the papers with additional readings, structural changes, and further development o f argu­ ments. T h e second stage occurs when the stu­ dent revises the papers independently. Faculty members are not expected to read the revised papers at any stage of the revision process. Each revised paper must be from 2,500 to 4,000 words and include a brief bibliography. Stu­ dents will submit them to the department office by May 2. Students who fail to submit their revised papers by the deadline will not complete the Honors Program. T h e department also encourages students to form their own study groups to prepare for the external examinations. Although faculty mem­ bers may, at their convenience, attend an occa­ sional study session, students are generally expected to form and lead the study groups, in keeping with the department’s belief that hon­ ors is a collaborative, self-learning exercise that relies on the commitment o f students. Students enrolled as minors in history will sub­ mit one revised paper as part o f their portfolio. It is due by May 2. 205 History FOREIGN STUDY LANGUAGE ATTACHMENT T h e History Department encourages students to pursue the study of history abroad and grants credit for such study as appropriate. W e believe that history majors should master a foreign lan­ guage as well as immerse themselves in a for­ eign culture and society. To receive Swarthmore credit for history courses taken during study abroad, or at other colleges and universi­ ties in the U nited States, a student must have departmental preapproval and have taken at least one history course at Swarthmore (nor­ mally before going abroad). T h e department is unable to offer credit for courses taken abroad or elsewhere in the U nited States in which no department member has expertise. 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 Swarth­ more. Students must receive a grade o f C or higher to receive history credit at Swarthmore. Certain designated courses offer the option of a foreign language attachm ent, normally for 0.5 credit. Arrangements for this option should be made w ith the instructor at the time of registration. ADVANCED PLACEMENT/INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE T h e History Department will automatically grant 1 credit to students who have achieved a score o f 4 or 5 in either the U .S. or European History Advanced Placement examinations if they take any course numbered 001 through O il. Students who w ant credit for two Advanced Placement history examinations for which they scored a 4 or 5 must take a second history course at Swarthmore and earn a grade o f C or higher. T his course need no t be a course numbered 001-0010. Advanced Place­ ment credit may be counted toward the num­ ber of courses required for graduation and may be used to help fulfill the College’s distribution requirements. 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 to students who have achieved a score o f 6 or 7 in the IB examinations if they take any course numbered 001 through 010 and earn a grade o f C or higher. 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. 206 TEACHER CERTIFICATION History majors can complete the requirements for teacher certification 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 through 2003 will fulfill the requirements for Social Studies certification, and those who complete certifi­ cation in 2004 and beyond will complete the requirements for Citizenship Education.

The concentration in interpretation theory has been providing students and faculty with an interdisciplinary fomm for exploring the na­ ture and politics of representation for more than a decade. W ork done in the concentra­ tion reaches across the disciplines and reflects a long-standing drive to understand the world through the constm cts o f its interpretive propositions. W hile the concentration’s inter­ disciplinarity takes its lead from the hermeneu­ tics of Vico and Dilthey, students use their pro­ grams to develop a flexible, deeply historical grasp of what is more commonly regarded today as critical and cultural theory. 1. A ll concentrators take a 1-credit capstone seminar, team taught by two faculty from different departments. Students complete this capstone in the spring of the senior year only. Students in any major may add either a con­ centration or an honors minor for external examination in interpretation theory to their program by fulfilling the requirement stated subsequently. Students begin by proposing their program to the concentration coordina­ tor. CONCENTRATION REQUIREMENTS 2. W ith a view to both historical depth and methodological breadth, students select at least one course from the “one-asterisk” group (historical development o f interpre­ tive practices) and at least one course from the “two-asterisk” group (breadth o f current interpretive perspectives across the disci­ plines). “Asterisked” courses must be chosen from different departments. These depth/ breadth requirements are normally complet­ ed by the end o f the junior year. 3. T h e three remaining courses are elective but draw on at least one further department. A ll told, at least 4 of the 6 interpretation theo­ ry credits must be outside the major. 4. A minimum B average is required for all concentrators by their junior and senior years.

Capstone Seminar: Page to Screen, Text to HyperText This seminar explores the production, circula­ tion, and interpretation of on-line texts. Do digital media create truly new forms o f repre­ sentation, authorship, and reading that require new strategies o f interpretation? W e will dis­ cuss the history o f the transition between established cultural forms and on-line texts and ask how much this history has determined the form o f contemporary digital culture. W e will examine a variety o f on-line materials, including e-m ail, hyper-text, multiplayer games, asynchronously based on-line commu­ nities, e-commerce sites, and IR C or other syn­ chronous chat rooms. Books for the course include Howard Rheingold, T he V irtual C om m unity; Julian Dibble, My Tiny L ife; Janet Murray, H am let on the H olodeck as well as texts and W eb texts from Tim Jordan, C yberpow er, Steven Johnson, and In terface C ulture. 1 credit.

Language. Latin American Studies (L A S) requires the successful completion o f SPAN 0 0 4 B or its equivalent. T his requirement is waived for native speakers o f Spanish or Portuguese and for students who demon­ strate sufficient competence in either one of these languages. 2. Study abroad. A ll students are required to spend a minimum o f one semester abroad in a program approved by both L A S and the Office o f Foreign Study. A semester’s intern­ ship or a community service project in Latin A merica fulfills this requirement in only exceptional cases, with the support o f a fac­ ulty member and the approval o f the L A S Comm ittee. Study abroad must be pursued in Spanish or Portuguese. 3. C ourses. A ll students must take a minimum o f 5 credits in LA S, which may include sem­ inars and courses taught at the College or courses.taken abroad in an approved pro­ gram. A minimum of 1 credit must be taken in each o f the minor’s three areas: (1) Latin Am erican Politics and History, (2 ) Latin Am erican Literature, and (3 ) Latin Amer­ ican Societies and Cultures. O f the required five courses, at least 1 credit must be taken at Swarthmore in each o f two different areas. Only 1 o f the total 5 credits required by the L A S minor may overlap with a stu­ dent’s major or other minor. 222 Honors Minor Students must have completed all require­ ments for the interdisciplinary minor to com­ plete an honors minor in L A S. From within these offerings, they may select a seminar taken to fulfill the interdisciplinary minor’s require­ ments for outside examination. However, the chosen seminar chosen may not be an offering within their major department.

T h e discipline o f 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 o f language, the informa­ tion language can give us about the human mind, and the roles language play in influenc­ ing the entire spectrum of human activity. T h e relevance of linguistics to the disciplines o f psychology, philosophy, sociology, anthro­ pology, and language study has been recognized for a long time. A knowledge of linguistics has recently become important to a much wider range o f activities in today’s world. It is a basic tool in artificial intelligence and is an increas­ ingly valuable tool in literary analysis. It is fun­ damental to an understanding o f communica­ tion skills and is a foundational discipline to cognitive science. Because the very nature of modem linguistic inquiry is to build arguments for particular analyses, the study o f linguistics gives the student finely honed argumentation skills, which stand in good stead in careers in law, business, and any other profession 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. 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 language is the study of the very fabric o f our humanity. Two majors are offered in the course program administered through the Linguistics Program. These are linguistics (LIN G ) and the special major in linguistics and languages (LL). Two honors majors are administered through 224 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 and 052 2. Forms: LIN G 050 3. Meanings: LIN G 026, 040, and 116 A ll LIN G and LL majors (honors or course) will be expected to take LIN G 00 6 or 061. If the student speaks a non-Indo-European lan­ guage, this requirement is waived. A ll L IN G and LL majors (honors or course) must write a thesis in the fall o f the senior year. For course students, this course is LIN G 100. For honors students, this course 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. • REQUIREMENTS Linguistics T his major consists of 8 credits in linguistics, where the student may or may not choose to count LIN G 001 as part o f the major. Linguistics and Languages T h e student may combine the study of linguis­ tics with the serious study of two foreign lan­ guages. T h e languages can be m odem or ancient. For this major, precisely 6 credits in linguistics and 3 credits in each o f the two lan­ guages, for a total o f 12 credits, are required. For a modem language taught by the Depart­ ment of M odem Languages and Literatures, there must be one composition and diction course (numbered 0 04 or above) and two other courses (numbered O il or above) or a seminar. related to course work the student has taken. T h e 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. For a classical language taught by the Classics Department, there must be one intermediatelevel course (numbered 011 -014) and one sem­ inar. T h e student will prepare for these research papers by taking at least 4 credits of course work (2 credits in each of the research paper areas). T h e students will work independently on these papers, without collaboration and without faculty guidance in the spring of the senior year in LIN G 199 (S H S ) for 1 credit. T h e exam ination 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. 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. Students at Bryn Mawr College (BMC) or Haverford College (HC) Any student from the tri-college 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. Students from H C and B M C can also do hon­ ors in linguistics. T h e honors portfolio and its preparation are identical to those for Swarth­ more honors students, except that the examin­ ees) will be internal rather than external. HONORS M AJOR: LINGUISTICS The major consists o f 8 credits in linguistics, not counting senior honors study (SH S) cred­ its, where the student may or may not choose to count LING 001 as part o f the major. The thesis and two research papers will consti­ tute the portfolio for honors. The thesis may be on any topic in linguistics and need not be related to course work. It will be written in fall o f the senior year in LING 195. Work may be collaborative with at most one other student at the discretion o f the fac­ ulty. The examination will consist o f a onehour discussion 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 T h e Linguistics Program puts no restrictions on the minors that can be combined with this major. SPECIAL HONORS M AJOR: LINGUISTICS AND LANGUAGES T h e major consists o f 6 credits in linguistics, not counting senior honors study (S H S ), plus 3 credits in each o f two languages (as in the course major in linguistics and languages). T he portfolio for this special major will consist o f a 2-credit thesis and 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 administer one o f those research papers. T h e examination will consist of a single 90-minute panel discussion with all four external readers. MINORS There are three minors administered through the Linguistics Department, each of 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. 225 Linguistics HONORS MINOR LING 003. First-Year Seminar: Language and the Deaf 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 o f the senior year in LIN G 195. T h e stu­ dent will also take LIN G 199 (S H S ) for 0.5 credit in spring of the senior year. T his course will look at many issues connected to language and D eaf people in the United States, with some comparisons to other coun­ tries. W e will consider linguistic matters in the structure o f Am erican Sign Language, as well as societal matters of the Deaf, including liter­ acy and civil rights. A one-hour language drill outside o f class is required. 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 earlier 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. T h e Linguistics Program puts no restrictions on the majors that can be combined with this minor. A ll students are welcome to do a community service credit in LIN G 006. i credit. F all 2002.

Anthropological Linguistics: Endangered Languages (Cross-listed as SO A N 80B ) 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 fieldwork and dissemination of traditional knowledge in the Internet age and includes a practical workshop on field methods. 231 Mathematics and Statistics DEBORAH J .

People study mathematics and statistics for several reasons— for the pleasure o f it or for its usefulness as a tool. T h e Department o f M athe­ matics and Statistics tries to meet a variety of needs. It offers a program that will enable stu­ dents to develop a firm foundation in pure mathematics and to see mathematical and sta­ tistical methods used to solve in a precise way problems arising in physical science, computer science, social science, and operations re­ search. Mathematics and statistics have grown enormously in recent years, developing an increasing number o f specialties and applica­ tions. A ll m athematical endeavor, however, is based on logical argument, abstraction, and an analytical-approach to problem solving. Ideal­ ly, the study o f mathematical sciences develops the ability to reason logically from hypothesis to conclusion, to analyze and solve quantita­ tive problems, and to express one’s thoughts clearly and precisely. In addition, the depart­ m ent faculty members hope that studying mathematics will foster an appreciation for the beauty and power o f its methods, abstract approach, and rigorous structure. 232 REQUIREM ENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS First-Year Courses Mathematics and statistics courses appropriate for incoming first-year students with tradition­ al (precalculus) high school preparation include ST A T 001 (Statistical Thinking), ST A T 002 (Statistical Methods), M A TH 003 (Introduction to M athem atical Thinking), M A TH 004 (Calculus Concepts), M ATH 005 (Calculus I), M A TH 0 0 5 S (Calculus I Sem inar), and M ATH 009 (Discrete Mathe­ matics). ST A T 001, M A TH 003, M ATH 004, M A TH 00 5 S , and M A TH 009 are primary dis­ tribution courses. More advanced courses are available to first-year students as explained later. Students who would like to begin calcu­ lus (M A TH 0 0 4 ,0 0 5 , or 00 5 S ) but are not sure they are prepared should take the departmental calculus readiness exam when they arrive on campus. Entering students may place into higher-level courses (typically the half-semes­ ter courses 006A , 006B , and 006C or the semester courses 006S, 0 1 6 ,016H , and 018) by scoring sufficiently well on the departmental calculus placement exam or by taking certain standardized exams (see later). Placement Procedure 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 exams: the A P or IB (standardized) exams, Swarthmore’s Calculus Placement Exam, or Swarthmore’s Calculus Readiness Exam. Students who do take one of the standardized exams may be required to take the departmen­ tal exams as well. T h e Calculus Placement Exam is sent to entering first-year students over the summer, along with detailed informa­ tion about the rules for placement and credit. The Calculus Readiness Exam is given during first-year orientation only. Advanced Placement (AP) and Credit Policy AP and “credit” mean different 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 3 2 credits needed for graduation. The Swarthmore Calculus Placement Exam is used for only placement, not credit. Credit is awarded on the basis o f the A P and the International Baccalaureate (IB ) exams, as follows: • 1 credit (for ST A T 0 0 2 ) for a score o f 4 or 5 on the Statistics A P Test o f the College Board • 1 credit (for M A TH 00 5 ) for a score of 4 on the A B or B C Calculus A P Test of the College Board (or for an A B subscore of 4 on the B C test) or for a score o f 5 on the Higher Level Mathematics Test o f the IB • 1.5 credits (for M A TH 005 and 006A ) for a score of 5 on the A B Calculus A P Test (or for the A B subscore o f the B C Test) or a score of 6 or 7 on the higher-level IB • 2 credits (for M ath 005, 006A , and 006B ) for a main score of 5 on the B C Calculus A PTest Alternatively, any entering student who places out of MATH 0 0 5 ,006A , or 006B may receive credit for the courses placed out of 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 time when the final exam is 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 A P credit for a course but who take the course any­ way will not receive the A P credit. First-year students seeking A P and/or credit for calculus taken at another college or university must normally validate their work by taking the appropriate Swarthmore examination, as described earlier. For work beyond calculus completed before entering Swarthmore, stu­ dents should consult the departmental place­ ment coordinator to determine the Swarth­ more course into which they should he placed. T h e department will not normally award A P credit for work above the M A TH 006 level, however. 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. STA 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 00 2 C instead o f ST A T 002. Both ST A T 002 and 002C lead to ST A T 027 on multivariate statistical analysis. Students with a strong background in mathematics can begin with the more theoretical STA T 053 and continue with the 1-credit seminar ST A T 111. Requirements for a Major in Mathematics Students apply for a major in the middle o f the second semester of the sophomore year. A prospective applicant should expect 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 courses: Calculus I (M A TH 005 or 0 0 5 S ), Calculus II (M A TH 006A and 006B or 00 6 S ), Discrete Mathematics (M A TH 009), Linear Algebra (M A TH 016 or 016H ), and Several Variable Calculus (M A TH 018 or 018H ). A ll majors must complete M A TH 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 o f at least C + . T his should include at least one grade at the B level. In some cases, 233 Mathematics and Statistics 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. (C ertain courses in this category are no t to 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 of the following courses: M A TH 005 or 00 5 S ; M A TH 006A and 00 6 B or 006S; M A TH 016 or 16H; M ATH 0 18 or 018H ; M A TH 047; and M A TH 049. T h e two upper-level core courses, M ATH 047 (Introduction to Real Analysis) and MATH 0 49 (Introduction to M odem Algebra), will be offered every fall semester. A t least one o f these two should be taken no later than the fall semester of the junior year. Finally, course majors must satisfy the departmental compre­ hensive requirement by passing M A TH 097: Senior Conference. Progress o f majors will be reviewed at the end o f each semester. Students n o t m aking 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. Special Emphases T h e preceding requirements allow room to choose an optional special emphasis within the mathematics major. For instance: A student may major in mathematics with an em phasis on statistics by taking the following courses at the advanced level: (1) the core analysis course (M A TH 0 4 7 ); (2 ) M athe­ matical Statistics I (ST A T 053) and possibly Mathematical Statistics II (ST A T 111; (3) Probability (M A TH 105); (4) Multivariate Statistics (ST A T 0 2 7 ) or, perhaps, E con ­ ometrics (EC O N 135); and (5) another math­ ematics course numbered 025 or higher. Stu­ dents 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 puter science should consider a mathematics major 234 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 considering gradu­ ate work in social or m anagem ent science or a m aster’s in business adm inistration. Basic courses: M A TH 005 (or 00 5 S ), 006A and 0 06B (or 0 0 6 S ), 0 0 9 ,0 1 6 , and 018; C P S C 020; advanced courses: (1) Modeling (M A TH 061); (2) at least one o f Probability (M A TH 105), M athematical Statistics I (ST A T 053), and possibly M athem atical Statistics II (STAT 1 1 1 ); (3 ) at least one o f Combinatorics (M A TH 0 6 5 ) or Operations Research (ECON 0 3 2 ); (4 ) th e two required core courses (M A TH 047 and M A TH 049); and (5) Dif­ ferential Equations (M A TH 030). Because this program is heavy (one who hopes to use math­ ematics in another field must have a good grasp both o f the mathematics and of the applica­ tions), one o f the core course requirements may be waived with permission o f the depart­ ment. Sample program for students considering grad­ uate work in operations research. Basic courses: same as previous paragraph. Advanced courses: (1) the two required core courses (MATH 047 and M A TH 0 49); (2) Combinatorial Opti­ mization (M A TH 0 7 2 ) and Combinatorics (M A TH 0 6 5 ); (3 ) M athem atical Statistics (ST A T 0 5 3 ); and (4) at least one of Number Theory (M A T H 0 3 7 ), M odeling (MATH 0 6 1 ), or Probability (M A TH ,105). Teacher Certification W e offer teacher certification in mathematics through a program approved by the state of Pennsylvania. Because of a change in teacher certification regulations th at occurred in November 2000, students completing certifica­ tion through 2003 will need to fulfill somewhat different course requirements from those who cdmplete certification in 2004 and beyond. For further information about the relevant set of requirements, please contact the Educational Studies chair, the Mathematics Department chair, or the Educational Studies Department Web site: www.swarthmore.edu/SocSci/Education/. Mathematics Course Minor 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 of the following courses: MATH 005 or 0 0 5 S ; M A TH 006A -006B or 006S; 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 1 of these 2 credits must be obtained from M A TH 047 or 049. Progress o f mathematics course minors will be reviewed at the end of each semester. Students not making satisfactory progress may be dropped from the minor. Statistics Course Minor 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 o f the following courses: M ATH 005 or 0 05S; M A TH 0 0 6A -006B or 006S; MATH 0 16 or 016H ; and M A TH 018 or 018H. In addition, every statistics course minor must obtain credit for, or place out of, STAT 053 and ST A T 111. Progress of statistics course minors will be reviewed at the end of each semester. Students not making satisfac­ tory progress may be dropped from the minor. The Honors Program Requirements for acceptance as a mathematics major in the Honors Program are more strin­ gent 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. The program for an honors major in mathe­ matics shall consist o f preparations for external examination in three fields o f 2 credits each, and an additional credit in one of the three chosen preparations, for a total o f 7 distinct credits. Each preparation consists of a required core course together with a second credit in that field selected from a list o f courses and seminars designated by the department. For the honors major, two o f 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 ATH 102 (Algebra Seminar). These two seminars will be offered every spring semester. Each student may select the third preparation from a list of fields that includes discrete mathematics, geometry, sta­ tistics, and topology. T h e department must approve any alternatives to these. Students who wish to complete an honors minor in mathematics must have credit for, or place out of, M A TH 005 or 005S, MATH 006A and 0 06B or 006S, M ATH 016 or 016H , and M ath 018 or 018H . For the honors portion of their program, minors must complete one 2credit preparation chosen from among any of the fields described earlier. Again, any alterna­ tives must have departmental approval. COURSES STAT 001. Statistical Thinking Statistics provide methods for collecting and analyzing data and generalizing from the results of the analysis. Statistics are used in a wide variety o f fields, and the course provides an understanding of the role o f statistics. It is intended for students who want an apprecia­ tion of statistics without the need to learn how to apply statistical methods. It provides an intuitive understanding o f statistical concepts and makes use of modem statistical software for the M acintosh computer.

This interdisciplinary program offers an oppor­ tunity for an integrated study o f European and Mediterranean civilization from the fourth to the 15th centuries. T h e period, which has a critical importance for the understanding of W estern culture, can best be approached 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 m inor in the Course Pro­ gram or as a major or minor in the Honors Program. REQUIREMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS A ll students who major in the Course Program or major or minor in the Honors Program must satisfy the following distribution requirements: O n e course in art history (A R T H 014, 047, or 145) O ne course in history (H IS T 002A , 006, 012017, or 111) O ne course in literature (EN G L 0 1 0 ,0 1 4 ,0 1 6 , 102, or C L A S 014 or 060) O ne course in religion (RELG 014B , 020B , 114, or 116) or philosophy (medieval) (Please note possible prerequisites for the pre­ ceding courses.) Course Major 1. Distribution requirements as listed previously. 2. Senior comprehensive examinations. Each major in course is required to complete the senior comprehensive w ritten and oral 242 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 tion of the various subjects and methods involved in the interdisciplinary field of medieval studies. 3. Students must complete at least 8 credits in m edieval studies to graduate with a medieval studies major. (In addition to courses, these credits may include directed readings in medieval subjects and/or a thesis written during the first semester of the senior year.) Course Minor A minor in medieval studies will consist of 5 credits in medieval studies (see course and seminar options listed subsequently). These 5 credits must include work in at least three sep­ arate departments. Students are reminded that only 1 of the 5 credits can be in the department o f their major. Honors Major 1. Distribution requirements as listed earlier. 2. T h e four preparations for the Honors Pro­ gram should reflect the interdisciplinary nature o f this major arid 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 consti­ tuted by some combination of the following: seminars, preapproved two-course combina­ tions, 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 minor prerequisites and requirements (including senior honors study minor requirements) stipulated by that department. 3. Senior honors study for majors in medieval studies will follow the policies of the indi­ vidual departmental preparations used in the program. Majors will have a 90-minute oral panel with all four examiners present. Majors will have the regular individual oral for the single preparation. Honors Minor 1. Distribution requirements as listed earlier. 2. The one preparation for the Honors Pro­ gram should reflect the interdisciplinary nature of this minor and may be satisfied by one of the following: one seminar, a preap­ proved two-course com bination, or one course with an attachment. T h e minor prep­ aration must be in a department distinct 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 pro­ gram. Minors will have a 90-minute oral panel with all four examiners present. Minors will have the regular individual oral for the single preparation.

T h e Department o f M odem Languages and Literatures— consisting o f Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Russian, and Spanish sec­ tions— provides Swarthmore students with an understanding of foreign cultures through their original languages and prepares them to engage effectively with an increasingly international­ ized world. In addition to language courses, the department also offers a large variety of semi­ nars and courses (some in English) that explore 244 authors, genres, aesthetic theories, and periods of literary and cinem atic production and that investigate literature and culture as sites of contending social forces and values. In con­ 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 o f 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 encourages interdisciplinary approaches within the guidelines of the programs in Asian studies, Francophone studies, German studies, Latin American studies, and Slavic studies. Students interested in the literature o f more than one language are encouraged to consider a compar­ ative literature major. Students should also take note of the related major in linguistics and languages. REQUIREMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Courses numbered 0 0 IB to 004B 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 of the orientation in these courses, see the explanatory note on these language courses later. Courses numbered 011 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 003B 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 Examination or placement tests administered by the department in the fall. Prerequisites for majors are noted under the listing o f each o f th e literatures taught. Exceptions to course requirements are made for those who show competence in the language of specialization. Students who speak Chinese, French, German, Japanese, 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. This program is par­ ticularly suited for majors in the humanities and the social sciences. Students competent in Spanish should consid­ er the Hamilton College Program in Madrid, Spain, which is cooperatively sponsored by Swarthmore. O ther recommended programs include the Universität de Illes Balears, in Palma de Mallorca; the University of Pennsyl­ vania-M exico; Pitzer College-Venezuela; and Washington University-St. Louis-Chile. For a complete listing o f approved programs, stu­ dents should consult with members of the Spanish section. (T h e Spanish section requires that its majors spend a minimum of one semes­ ter of study abroad in a program approved by the section.) Students o f Germ an have the opportunity to join the Dickinson College program in Bremen during the spring semester o f each year. O ther programs students should consider are the Wayne State Junior Year in Germany (at the University o f M unich or the University of Freiburg), the Wesleyan University Program in Regensburg, 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 of Chinese; academic credit (full or par­ tial) is generally approved for participation in the several programs o f varying duration in the People’s Republic o f C hina and in Taiwan, rec­ ommended by the Chinese section. In the People’s Republic these include, but are not 245 Modem Languages and Literatures limited to, the Inter-University Board (IU B ) Program at Tsing-hua University, the A C C Associated Colleges in China Program, and the Council on International Educational Ex­ change (C IEE) Program in Beijing, and the C E T Program in Harbin. In Taiwan, these include the IC L P International C hinese Language Program and the Mandarin Training C en te r in Taipei and the U niversity of Massachusetts Program in Tunghai. Students on scholarship may apply scholarship monies to designated programs of study abroad. Study abroad is encouraged for students of Japanese. A carefully selected list o f programs in Japan will be available to students interested in studying in Japan. W e offer teacher certification in modem lan­ guages (French, G erm an, and Spanish) through a program approved by the state of Pennsylvania. Because o f a change in teacher certification regulations th at occurred in November 2000, students completing certifica­ tion during 2002 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 Department o f Educational Studies director, the M odem Languages Department chair, or the Department o f Educational Studies 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 o f other languages is often required for admission to advanced studies. Advanced Placement T h e department will grant 1 credit for incom­ ing students who have achieved a score of 4 or 5 in Advanced Placement French, German, or Spanish.examinations when they have success­ fully completed a 1-credit course in that lan­ guage at the College. International Baccalaureate T h e department will grant 1 credit for incom ­ ing students who have achieved a score o f 6 or 7 in a foreign language on the International Baccalaureate after they have successfully com­ pleted a 1-credit course in that language at the College. 246 LITERATURES IN TRANSLATION Students acquainted with a particular foreign language are urged to elect an appropriate lit­ erature course taught in the original language. L IT R courses provide students with the oppor­ tunity to study a literature that they cannot read in the original. These courses cannot be substituted for the O il- or 01-2-level courses to satisfy the departmental prerequisites for a major or minor in the original languages, but a student may take one o f these courses to satis­ fy the 8-credit requirement o f a foreign litera­ ture major provided that the course is perti­ nent to the specific literature of the major.

His work influenced Nietzsche, Freud, Woolf, and others and continues to exert a profound influence on thought in our own society down to the present day.

The Acmeists Several of the greatest Russian 20th century poets belonged to a group called “Acmeists” for their emphasis on verbal clarity, specificity of poetic image after the vague fogs o f symbolist excess, and attitude of “nostalgia for world cul­ ture.” T h e group’s main theoretician, Nikolai Gumilev, was shot in 1921 for supposed par­ ticip ation in a m onarchist plot. Osip Mandel’shtam spent years in “internal exile” because of his overly honest writing; he died in a labor camp in 1938. A nna Akhmatova, per­ haps the most translated Russian poet in the Anglophone world, witnessed all the horrors of Stalinism but survived to mentor a new gener­ ation o f poets during the post-Stalin “thaw,” living until 1966. T h e course will concentrate on these three poets, with attention to less prominent Acmeists and other writers o f the time, particularly gay poet and critic Mikhail Kuzmin, who never joined the movement but hoped to form its tenets. 2 credits.

La España actual Embark on a journey through contemporary Spain! Focusing primarily on a linguistic and cultural perspective, we will explore various topics pertaining to contemporary society, cul­ ture, literature, history, politics, art, architec­ ture, music, cinematography, and the press. We will study these aspects in relation to different regions (Cataluña, Andalucía, G alicia, País Vasco, Castilla) and particular cities (Madrid, Barcelona, Sevilla). W e will examine how the medieval description o f Spain, “las Españas,” may still apply today with respect to the lin­ guistic and cultural diversity within Spain. As a point o f departure, we will incorporate dis­ cussions on the similar concept “las Américas.” T h e student will develop fluency and accuracy in speaking, writing, and reading in Spanish.

La figura bufonesca del gracioso en la comedia española del Siglo de Oro T h e course examines the recurring themes of fools, folly, humor, and satire in the works of 16th- and 17th-century Spanish playwrights. W e will explore the issues surrounding the fig­ ure o f the gracioso, a buffoon of sorts, and his role within the Spanish comedia. W hat are the social, political, and historical implications behind the gracioso and his apparent folly? How do gender roles play a part in the theatri­ cal dynamics o f the gracioso? How is language configured to express the concepts of the carnivalesque and o f the world turned upside down? How is the language of folly (full of humor, irony, and satire) used as a vehicle for subversion, inversion, and perversion? We will study Lope de Rueda’s P asos; Lope de Vega’s Fuenteovejuna and L a dam a boba; Aiarcón’s L a verdad sospechosa; Tirso de M olina’s E l burlador de Sevilla and E l vergonzoso en palacio; and Calderón de la Barca’s L a vida es sueño.

La dialéctica entre historia y ficción : textos historiográficos y literar­ ios de la Edad Media a la epóca colonial We will study how reputedly reliable histories are “fictionalized” by the literary traditions and genres of the times and, conversely, how works of fiction are “historicized” to reflect historical, social, and political circumstances. From the Middle Ages, we will study selections from the histories of Alfonso X and Pero López de Ayala as well as the historicized fictions of the epic poem El Cid and its fragments in the Romancero, and Diego de San Pedro’s C árcel de amor. From the Renaissance, we will study the “chronicles” and historical writings on the New World by writers such as Cortés, Cabeza de Vaca, Bernal Díaz, Garcilaso de la Vega el Inca, and others. W e will examine fictional works of historical significance, such as selec­ tions from A ntonio de Guevara’s works, from Ercilla’s epic poem L a A raucana, the picaresque novel Lazarillo de Tormes, and from Cervantes’ Don Q uijote.

Ciudad y literatura T h e city as a cultural artifact offers writers myr­ iad narrative possibilities: mere location, cul­ tural symbolism, or the link for values and con­ cepts that determine the place of human beings in their own society and historical moment. T h e Spanish novels we will read use urban space as a reflection o f the social and theological rationale in H ispanic culture, where urbanization equals civilization. Madrid and Barcelona are the most important urban centers in Spanish narrative space since the 19th century. T h e novels we will read present both cities as part o f the author’s personal story as well as his or her creative vision. W e will see these urban representations in novels by Galdós, Pardo Bazán, Baraja, Laforet, Cela, Rodoreda, Roig, and Mendoza. 1 credit. F all 20 0 3 . Guardiola. SPAN 073.

From Golden Age literature, we shall study the lyric poetry o f Garcilaso de la Vega, San Juan de la Cruz, Cervantes, Lope de Vega, Quevedo, Góngora, and Sor Juana; selections from the prose o f M otalvo’s A m adis de G au la; E l A ben cerraje; Montemayor’s L a D iana; San t Teresa’s mystical writings; Maria de Zayas’ N ovelas ejem plares y am orosas; and Cervantes’ Don Q u ijote, and plays (comedias) such as Lope de Vega’s L a dam a boba, Tirso de M olina’s E l burlador de Sevilla, and Calderón de la Barca’s L a vida es su eñ o. Topics for discussion include courtly and Neo-Platonic love, chivalric romance, the sacred and the profane, the love of the mystics, social and gender roles, and the lyric voice o f subjectivity.

Hacia Cervantes: el desarrollo de la novela en España T h e 1910 Revolution defined M exico’s 20th century and produced an artistic and literary 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 nov­ els, poetry, and essays, looking at how these texts interrogate history and express the aspira­ tions o f popular struggles. Authors include Mariano Azuela, Garro, Castellanos, Fuentes, Revueltas, Leñero, Poniatowska, Monsiváis, Pacheco, Arturo Azuela, Volpi, and the Sub­ comandante Marcos. W e shall embark on an exploration o f the nar­ rative prose that led the way toward the cre­ ation and flourishing o f the novel in Spain, exemplified by Cervantes’ Don Q uijote. Among the works studies.will bé Rojas’ L a Celestina, selections from th e chivalric prose of M ontalvo’s Aw adis de G a u la , selected passages from A ntonio de Guevera’s works, readings from reputedly historiographical works such as Cabeza de Vaca’s N aufragios and Bernal Diaz del Castillos’ H istoria V erdadera, the picaresque novel (Lazarillo de Torm es and Mateo Alemán’s G uzm án de M forach e), the Moorish novel El A ben cerraje, and th e pastoral novel (Montemayor’s L a D ian a). W e will culminate our exploration with selected readings from Cervantes’ works, N ovelas ejem plares and Don Q u ijote. Topics for discussion include the social, historical, and political factors that con­ tributed to the emergence o f the various narra­ tive forms iti Spain; the intricate relationship between history and fiction; and the narrative voice of dissent, resistance, and marginality. 1 credit.

MUSIC 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 h e study o f music as a liberal art requires an integrated approach to theory, history, and per­ formance, experience in all three fields being essential to the understanding o f music as an artistic and intellectual achievement. Theory courses train the student to work with musical material, to understand modes o f organization in composition, and to evolve methods of musical analysis. History courses introduce stu­ dents to methods o f studying the development o f musical styles and genres, and the relation­ ship o f music to other arts and areas o f thought. T h e department encourages students to devel­ 278 T h e 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 in their junior and senior years who enroll in M U SI 048 receive 100 percent subsidy for the cost o f 10, one-hour private lessons each semester; junior or senior music majors and Garrigues or Fetter scholarship holders who do not wish to receive academic credit for private instruction may take up to 10 one-hour lessons per semester with a 100 per­ cent subsidy. A ll support for private lessons is determined on the basis o f performing before a jury. See the department Web site or bulletin board for dates and times. Major in the C ourse Program . Two semester courses in theory, one semester course in histo­ ry, and the successful completion o f one reper­ tory exam are prerequisite for acceptance as a major. Majors will normally take five semester courses in theory , four semester courses in his­ tory (including M U SI 020 and either 021 or 022), meet the basic piano requirement, pass five repertory exams, and pass the comprehen­ sive exam. Majors normally participate in at least one o f the department’s performing orga­ nizations. Major in the H onors Program . A student intend­ ing to major in the Honors Program will fulfill the same prerequisites as listed earlier, will pass five repertory exams, will meet the basic piano requirement, and will normally submit three preparations (including at least one prepara­ tion in theory and one in history), subject to departmental approval. Any theory/composition course numbered 015 or higher, or any his­ tory course, can (w ith permission o f the instructor) be used as the basis o f a paper when augmented by a concurrent or subsequent attached unit o f additional research, or by directed reading, or by a tutorial. Minor in the H onors Program . A student intend­ ing to minor in the Honors Program will fulfill the same prerequisites as those for a major in course, will meet the basic piano requirement, and will normally submit one preparation in music. Language requ irem en ts fo r graduate sch ools. Students are advised that graduate work in his­ torical musicology and voice requires a reading knowledge of French and German. 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 or a first movement of an easy late 18th- or early 19th-century sonata. In addition, they must demonstrate skill in score reading. T h e depart­ ment recommends that majors take two semes­ ters of MUSI 042 to develop these skills. Score reading is also taught within M U SI 018. T h e basic pian o program . T h is 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 stu­ dents meet the keyboard requirements outlined earlier. It is open to all junior or senior music majors and 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. This national­ ly renowned ensemble offers an annual concert series at the College, focusing on contemporary music. T h e series features distinguished soloists and often includes advanced Swarthmore stu­ dents in its concerts. Special scholarships and aw ards in m usic include the follow ing: T h e Edwin B.

CREDIT FOR PERFORMANCE N ote: A ll performance courses are for half­ course credit per semester. A total of not more than 8 full credits (16 0.5-credit courses) in music and dance may be counted toward the degrees o f bachelor of arts and bachelor o f sci­ ence. N o retroactive credit is given fo r perfor­ m ance courses. Individual Instruction (MUSI 048) Music majors and members of the wind ensem­ ble, chorus, baroque ensemble, gamelan, jazz ensemble, and orchestra may, if they wish, take lessons for credit. Accomplished pianists may satisfy this ensemble requirement by accompa­ nying instead. For further details, consult the M U SI 048 guidelines on the department W eb site. 279 Music and Dance Students who wish to take M U SI 048 (Individual Instruction) must register for the course by meeting in person with Judy Lord, the department coordinator, to fill out an application to the department at the beginning o f each semester. Forms are available in the department office only. Although it is neces­ sary for students in M U SI 048 to be a member in good standing of a department performance group, 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 his or her choice, subject to the approval o f 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 o f 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, at least one-third of the cost o f 10 one-hour lessons will be paid to the teacher by the department. S e ctio n leaders in departm ent ensembles receive subsidies o f at least two-thirds o f the cost o f 10 one-hour lessons. Music majors in their junior and senior years receive 100 per­ cen t subsidies o f the cost o f 10 one-hour lessons each semester. Fetter, Garrigues, and other scholarships may subsidize up to the entire cost of private lessons (i.e., including travel expenses) for the most musically advanced students at the College. A ll students enrolled in M U SI 048 are strong­ ly encouraged to perform in student chamber music concerts and to audition for concertos with the orchestra or solos with the chorus. Orchestra, Chorus, Wind Ensemble, Baroque Ensemble, Gamelan, Chamber Music, Jazz Ensemble Students may take Perform ance Chorus (M U SI 0 4 4 ), Performance Orchestra (M U SI 0 4 3 ), Performance Jazz Ensemble (M U SI 0 41), Performance W ind Ensemble (M U SI 0 46), Performance Baroque Ensemble (M U SI 045), Chamber Music (M U SI 0 47), or Gamelan (M U SI 04 9 ) for credit with the permission of 280 the department member who has the responsi­ bility for that performance group. T h e amount of credit received will be a half-course in any one semester. Students applying for credit will fulfill requirements established for each activi­ ty (i.e., regular attendance at rehearsals and performances and participation in any supple­ mentary rehearsals held in connection with the activity). Students are graded on a cred­ it/no credit basis. Students taking M U SI 047 (Cham ber Music) for credit must submit to the department at the beginning o f th e sem ester a proposal detail­ ing the repertory o f works to be rehearsed, coached, and performed during the semester. It should include the names o f 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 proposed date(s) for perfor­ mance. A student taking M U SI 047 for credit will rehearse with his or her 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 o f working well both independently and under the guidance of a coach. 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 adopt a leadership role in organizing rehearsals and performances.

DANCE 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 of cognitive, creative, and kinesthetic classes in dance, we present a program that stands firmly w ithin the tradition of Swarthmore’s liberal arts orientation. Dance instructors strive to create an atmosphere of cooperative learning, one that affirms group process, fosters camaraderie, and both differs and values a wide variety o f dance traditions. Information about the dance program in addi­ tion to that listed later is available via the World Wide W eb at the following address: http://www.swarthmore.edu/humanities/dance/. 285 Music and Dance REQUIREMENTS FOR THE M AJOR IN COURSE: DANCE One or two additional dance technique courses for academic credit or Prerequisites for the Major R epertory (once or twice) • D A N C 0 0 2 , D A N C 0 1 0 or 0 7 1 , and D A N C O il with a grade o f B or better; and D A N C 049.

T his paper, along with appropriate papers from each history/theory class submitted for prepara­ tion, will be sent to the examiner. T h e writ­ ten exam for this preparation will consist of a response to three questions set by the examiner. choice regarding focus for a student’s minor will be determined in consultation with an adviser from the dance faculty. Honors minors will also be expected to participate in the senior colloquium. Majors Presenting a Related Minor Dance majors in the Honors Program who are presenting a related minor in another disci­ pline must follow the preparation guidelines listed earlier. For these students, the third preparation will take the form o f either a senior p ro ject (D A N C 0 9 4 ) or a senior thesis (D A N C 095, 0 96), which, although it follows the guidelines stated in No. 3 earlier, draws on a cross-disciplinary perspective.

T h e program offers courses in the following areas: (1 ) alternatives to fighting as a way of settling disputes, including conflict res­ olution, rituals, nonviolence, mediation, peace­ keeping forces, private peace-fostering organi­ zations, arms control, econom ic sanctions, international law, and international organiza­ tions; (2 ) the causes of collective violence, including aggression and human nature, the state system and international anarchy, systemic injustice, com petition for scarce resources, diplomacy, ethnocentrism, ideological and reli­ gious differences, insecure boundaries, minori­ ties within states, and arms races; (3) the nature of war and conflict, including civilian and military objectives, the political economy o f war, strategy and tactics, deterrence theory, low-intensity conflict, psychology o f battle, prisoners of war, neutral rights, draft and con­ scientious objectors, the experience o f war by soldiers and civilians, conventional, nuclear, and guerrilla wars, how to end a war, and the aftereffects of war; and (4) the evaluation of war and violence, including the morality of war and violence, just war theory, pacifism, war mentality, the utility of war, war novels, and the responsibilities o f citizens directly or indi­ rectly involved in war and violence. Students with any major, whether in course or 298 in the Honors Program, may add a course minor in peace and conflict studies. Alter­ natively, students in the Honors Program may choose an honors minor in peace and conflict studies. Students who intend to minor in peace and conflict studies should submit a copy of their sophomore paper to the chair o f the pro­ gram during the spring o f the, sophomore year, after consultation with program faculty mem­ bers. T h e paper should present a plan of study that satisfies the requirements stated later, specifying the courses to count toward the minor. A ll applications must be approved by the Peace and C onflict Studies Committee. REQUIREM ENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Minor A minor in peace and conflict studies consists o f 6 credits, o f which only 2 may be taken in the student’s major. Introduction to Peace Studies (PE A C 0 1 5 ) is the only required course. Student programs can include an internship or fieldwork component (e.g., in a peace or con­ flict m anagem ent organization such as the U nited Nations or Suburban Dispute Settle­ m ent). A n internship is highly recommended. Fieldwork ahd internships normally do not receive credit. However, students can earn up to 1 credit for special projects that are devel­ oped w ith an instructor and approved in advance by the Peace and C onflict Studies Committee. Honors Minor Students in the Honors Program who choose an honors minor in peace and conflict studies must complete one preparation for external examination. This 2-credit preparation can be a seminar, a combination o f two courses in dif­ ferent departments, a 2-credit thesis, or a com­ bination of a thesis and a course. A ny thesis must be multidisciplinary. T h e proposed prepa­ ration must be approved by the Peace and Conflict Studies Committee. Any student who minors in peace studies must meet the requirement o f six units o f study, of which no more than 2 credits can come from the major department. Introduction to Peace Studies (PEA C 0 1 5 ) is required and should be taken no later than the junior year. Again, fieldwork 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. The Peace and C onflict Studies Committee will work out the guidelines for the integration exercise w ith th e student and th e m ajor department. a social science unit, but it is not a primary dis­ tribution course.

Philosophy is thus significant for everyone who wishes to live and act in a reflective and critical manner. REQUIREMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Prerequisites The Philosophy Department offers several kinds of courses designed to engage students in philosophical practices. Courses and seminars are offered to introduce students to the major systematic works o f the history o f Western phi­ losophy and works by Plato and Aristotle (Ancient Philosophy); Descartes, Hume, and Kant (Modem Philosophy); Hegel and Marx (Nineteenthth-Century Philosophy); Kierke­ gaard, Nietzsche, Sartre, Heidegger, and de Beauvoir (Existentialism ); and Russell and Wittgenstein (Contem porary Philosophy). Some courses and seminars consider arguments and conclusions in specific areas o f philosophy: Theory of Knowledge, Logic, Moral Philos­ ophy, Metaphysics, A esthetics, and Social and Political Philosophy. O ther courses and semi­ nars are concerned with the conceptual foun­ dations of various other disciplines: Aesthetics, Philosophy of Science, Philosophy o f Lan­ guage, Philosophy o f Law, Philosophy o f the Social Sciences, Philosophy o f Psychology, Philosophy of Mathematics, and Philosophy of Religion. From time to time, courses and sem­ inars are offered on meaning, freedom, and value in various domains o f contemporary life: Values and Ethics in Science and Technology, Fem inist Theory, and Biotechnology and Society. Students majoring in philosophy must com­ plete at least one course or seminar in Logic and either A ncient or Modem Philosophy and earn a total of 8 credits, not counting senior course study or senior honors study. In addi­ tion, students majoring in philosophy are urged to take courses and seminars in diverse fields of philosophy. Prospective majors should com­ plete the logic requirement as early as possible. Course majors are encouraged to enroll in sem­ inars. Mastery o f at least one foreign language is recommended. A ll course majors will com­ plete senior course study in philosophy.

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 completing another section o f Introduction to Philosophy. COURSES PHIL 001. Introduction to Philosophy Philosophy addresses fundamental questions that arise in various practices and inquiries. Each section addresses a few o f these questions 301 Philosophy 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.

T he focus o f attention will be various historicphilosophical accounts of the meanings and functions of 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) o f the relative dates o f major composers o f Western art music (e.g., Beethoven is just before Schubert) is required. Som e attention will be paid both to 20th-century developments (serialism, modal composition, Joh n Cage, New Romanticism, etc.) and to contemporary popu­ lar music. Major theorists o f music who will be covered include Leonard Meyer, Carl Dahlhaus, Theodor Adorno, Susan McClary, Rose Rosengard Subotnik, Lawrence Kramer, and Jacques A ttali. I credit.

T h e aim o f the department is to contribute to the total education of all students through the medium of 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 of these activities on all levels. It is our hope that participation in this program will foster an understanding o f movement and the pleasure o f exercise and will enhance, by prac­ tice, qualities o f 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 A thletic Program is com­ prehensive, including varsity with teams in 22 different sports: 10 for men and 12 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 intramural activities is sponsored. 306 Students are encouraged to enjoy the instruc­ tional and recreational opportunities offered by the department 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 of swimming instruc­ tion. T h e swim test and the two semesters of physical education are requirements for gradu­ ation. REQUIREM ENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Courses offered by the department are listed subsequently. Credit toward completion of the physical education requirement will also be given for participation in intercollegiate ath­ letics as well as the listed dance courses, which are semester-long courses. To receive credit for any part o f the program, students must partici­ pate in their chosen activity a minimum of three hours a week. Students are encouraged to complete the requirement by the end of their sophomore year. Independent study for physi­ cal education is not permitted.

T h e program o f the Physics and Astronomy Department stresses the concepts and methods that have led to an understanding of the fun­ damental laws explaining the physical uni­ verse. the observatory is announced in T he Weekly N ew s. Throughout the work o f the 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 th e 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 of the faculty, on campus. Several research laboratories are maintained by the department to support faculty interests in the i areas o f laser physics, high-resolution atoniic spectroscopy, plasma physics, computer simulation, liquid crystals, biophysics, and observational and theoretical astrophysics. T h e department maintains the historic Sproul telescope, a 6 1 -cm refractor, equipped with a C C D camera, plus several small telescopes for instructional use. A monthly visitors’ night at 308 Two calculus-based introductory sequences are offered. PHYS 003 and 004 cover both classi­ cal and modem physics and is an appropriate introductory physics sequence for those stu­ dents majoring in engineering, chemistry, and biology. PH YS 007 and 008, on the other hand, which is normally preceded by PHYS 006, PHYS 006H , 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 appropriate for engineering and chemistry majors. T h e four-course sequence 006H, 007, 008, and 014 is designed to provide a compre­ hensive introduction to all major areas of physics. Additional information is available via the World Wide Web at http://laser.swarthmore.edu/. REQUIREM ENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Major Degree Requirements T h e basic Physics Program is intended for stu­ dents not planning to pursue graduate work. It consists o f PH YS 006H (or PHYS 006 or A S T R 0 03), 0 0 7 ,0 0 8 ,0 1 4 , and 050 in the first two years followed by PH YS 111, 1 1 2 ,1 1 3 ,and 114 in the last two years. In addition, the shop course PHYS 063 and the advanced laboratory courses E N G R 0 7 2 A and PH YS 082 and MATH 005, 006A , 006B , 016, and 018 must be taken. The basic program in astronomy is intended for students not planning to pursue graduate work. It consists o f A S T R 003 (or PH YS 006H or PHYS 0 0 6 ), and PH YS 00 7 , 008, 014, and A STR 016. In addition, four astronomy semi­ nars and M ATH 005, 006A , 006B , and 018 must be taken. The basic programs listed earlier cover all of the fundamental areas in the discipline. Students preparing for graduate study in physics or astronomy should choose one of the advanced programs listed later. The advanced program in physics is PHYS 006H (or A S T R 003 or PH YS 00 6 ), and PHYS 007, 008, 014, and 0 5 0 in the first two years followed by PHYS 111, 112, 1 1 3 ,1 1 4 , and 115 in the last two years. In addition, the shop course PHYS 063 and the advanced laboratory courses EN G R 072A and PHYS 082, and MATH 005, 006A , 006B , 016, and 018 must be taken. The advanced program in astrophysics is A STR 003 (or PHYS 006H or PH YS 0 0 6 ) and PHYS 0 0 7 ,0 0 8 , 014, 050, and A S T R 016, fol­ lowed by PHYS 111, 112, 113, and 114, plus two astronomy seminars. In addition, M A TH 0 0 5 ,006A , 006B , 016, and 0 18 must be taken. 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 of fundamentals studied during all four years. I ( ■ Criteria for Acceptance as a Major Students applying to become a physics major should have completed or be completing PHYS 014, PHYS 050, and M ATH 018. If applying for an astrophysics or astronomy major, they should also have completed A S T R 016. Applicants must normally have an aver­ age grade in all physics and/or astronomy courses as well as in M A TH 016 and 018 of 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 o f the students not only to benefit from this mode o f instruction but also to contribute pos­ itively to the seminars. Advanced Laboratory Program T h e advanced laboratory courses, namely, E N G R 072A (electronics lab), PHYS 063, and PHYS 082 (each 0.5 credit) require approxi­ mately one afternoon a week. Students en­ rolled in these must arrange their programs so that they can schedule a time for lab each week, free o f conflicts with other classes, semi­ nars, extracurricular activities, and sports. Independent Work Physics and astronomy majors are encouraged to undertake independent research projects, especially in the senior year, either in conjunc­ tion with one of the senior seminars or as a spe­ cial project for separate credit (PHYS/ASTR 094). Many opportunities exist for students to work with faculty members on research pro­ jects during the summer or semester. In prepa­ ration for independent experimental work, prospective physics majors are urged to take the required course PH YS 063: Procedures in Experimental Physics during the fall semester o f their sophomore year, which will qualify them to work in the departmental shops. Teacher Certification W e offer teacher certification in physics through a program approved by the state of Pennsylvania. Because o f a change in teacher certification regulations th at occurred in November 2000, students completing certifica­ tion during 2002 to 2003 will need to fulfill somewhat different course requirements from those who complete certification in 2004 and beyond. For further information about the relevant set of requirements, please contact the Educational Studies Department chair, the Physics Department chair, or the Educational Studies Department Web site: www.swarthmore.edu/SocSci/Education/. Minor Degree Requirements Our department offers two types of course 309 Physics and Astronomy minors: one in physics and one in astronomy. T h e physics minor consists o f PHYS 006H (or PH YS 006 or A S T R 0 0 3 ), PH YS 0 0 7 ,* PHYS 0 0 8 ,* PH YS 014, PH YS 050, and PH YS 111 and PH YS 113.+ Corequisites are M A TH 005, 006, and 018. (* In some cases, PH YS 003 and/or PH YS 004 may be substituted for PHYS 0 07 and/or PH YS 008.) (+M inors should have two advanced seminars, preferably one in “clas­ sical” and one in “quantum” physics. PHYS 111 is a prerequisite for the future seminars and fulfills the “classical” requirement. Although we recommend PHYS 113 as the second ad­ vanced seminar, a different seminar may be substituted on consultation with the chair.) T h e astronomy minor consists o f PH YS 006H (or A S T R 003 or PHYS 0 0 6 ), PH YS 007 or PH YS 003, PHYS 008 or PHYS 004, A S T R 016, one astronomy seminar numbered 100 or above, and one semester o f A S T R 061 (0.5 credits). Corequisites are M A TH 005 and 006. EXTERNAL EXAMINATION PROGRAM To be accepted into the External Examination Program in the department, the applicant must normally have an average grade in all physics and/or astronomy courses o f B or better. External examinations are based on the topics covered in the following seminars: Physics: PHYS 111, 112, 113, 114, and 115, plus a research or library thesis; Astrophysics: three of the following (PH YS 111, 112, 113, or 114); two o f the following (A S T R 121, 123, 126, or 1 2 8 ), plus a research or library thesis; Astronomy: A S T R 121, 123, 126, and 128, plus a 2-credit research or library thesis.

COURSE OFFERINGS AND PREREQUISITES REQUIREMENTS Courses and seminars offered by the Political Science Department deal with the place of pol­ itics in society and contribute to an under­ standing o f the purposes, organization, and operation of political institutions, domestic and international. T h e department offers courses in all four o f the major subfields o f the discipline: American politics, comparative politics, inter­ national politics, and political theory. Ques­ tions about the causes and consequences of political action and normative concerns regard­ ing freedom and authority, power and justice, human dignity, and social responsibility are addressed throughout the curriculum. Major Prerequisites Students planning to study political science are advised to start with two o f the following intro­ ductory courses: Political Theory, American Politics, Comparative Politics, and Interna­ tional Politics (PO LS 001 to 004). Normally, any two of these courses constitute the prereq­ uisite for further work in the department. P rerequ isites an d gen eral recom m en dation s. Students who intend to major in political sci­ ence should begin their work in their first year 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 (ECO 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 o f 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) American politics, (2) comparative or interna­ tional politics, and (3 ) political theory. Completion of any o f the following will satisfy the political theory requirement: P O LS O il, 012, 100, or 101, T h e department recommends that majors plan 316 course and seminar programs that afford some exposure above the introductory level to at least three o f the four major subfields of 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. T h e preferred option is the oral thesis. Students are examined orally on a body of 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 o f 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 o f a faculty adviser. D etailed inform ation about these options is available at the beginning of the junior year. Honors Major To be accepted into the Honors Program, stu­ dents should normally have at least an average of B+ inside the departm ent (the grade equiva­ lent of an “honors”) and B outside the depart­ ment and should give evidence o f 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 hon­ ors majors must meet all current distributional requirements for majors, including the political theory requirement. T hey need 10 political sci­ ence credits. Normally, 6 o f these credits will be met with three, two-unit preparations, which will help prepare honors majors for out­ side exam inations, both w ritten and oral. These two-unit preparations will normally be either a 2-credit honors seminar or a “courseplus” option. O f these three two-unit prepara­ tions, no more than two may be in a single field in the department. T h e “course-plus” option will normally consist of two one-unit courses or seminars that have been designated to count as an honors preparation. O ne example is POLS 013 (Feminist Political Theory) plus either POLS 031 (Difference and Dominance) or POLS 032 (Gender, Politics, and Policy in Am erica). A nother example is P O LS 068 (International Political Economy) plus either PO LS 047 (G lobal Policy) or P O LS 058 (A frica). T h e department does not normally advise theses, course attachments, or directed readings as a substitute for the honors seminars and “course-plus” options, but, on occasion, some faculty members may direct such wdfk to create a 2-credit honors preparation. A ll prospective honors majors should have completed one of their four honors prepara­ tions before their senior year. Senior honors majors are invited to take the Senior Honors Colloquium, a 2-credit collo­ quium normally offered in the fall term of their senior year. T h e work done in this colloquium will satisfy the College’s senior honors study (S H S ) requirement and will be submitted to the external examiners, subject to the depart­ m ent word limit for SH S papers. Honors majors who do not take the colloquium will register for a 0.5 credit SH S and revise a seminar paper for submission to external exam­ iners. Honors Minor Honors minors in political science will be required to have at least 5 credits in political science. Among these 5 credits, minors must norm ally m eet the subfield distribution requirement, 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 twounit honors preparations offered by the department. Honors Exams T h e honors exams will normally consist o f a three-hour written exam in each of the stu­ dent’s seminars, and an oral exam conducted by the external examiner. C0NCENTRATI0H IN PUBLIC POLICY Students have the option o f pursuing interdis­ ciplinary work as an adjunct to a major in political science in the public policy concen­ tration. Gom 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 1 7 ). 3 17 Political Science Robinson Hollister is the coordinator o f the concentration in public policy for 2002-2003. THE DEMOCRACY PROJECT about the relevant set o f requirements, please contact the Education Program director, the Political Science Department chair, or the Education Program W eb site: www.swarthmore.edu/SocSci/Education/. POLS 001. Political Theory T h e purpose o f this project is to deepen stu­ dents’ understanding o f and commitment to democratic citizenship in a multicultural soci­ ety through participation in community poli­ tics. A central feature o f the Democracy Project is community-based learning through public service and comm unity organizing internships as part o f the course work. By inte­ grating reflection and experience, the project will enable students to study the ways in which diverse com m unities define and seek to empower themselves in the U nited States and to discover the relationship between individual activism, social responsibility, and political change at the grassroots level. ADVAHCED PLACEM ENT T h e department grants one unit o f college credit to students who have achieved a score of 5 on the College Board Advanced Placement (A P) exam ination in Governm ent and Politics (either U nited States or Comparative but not both). T his credit may be counted toward the major and toward satisfaction o f the College distribution requirement in the social sciences. 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 requirements for teacher certification through a program approved by the state of Pennsylvania. Because o f a change in teacher certification regulations th at occurred in November 2000, students completing certifica­ tion during 2002 and 2003 will fuifill 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 318 T his course is an introduction to political the­ ory by way o f an introduction to some o f its most important themes, problems, and texts. It seeks to elicit understanding o f theory as a way o f thinking about the world, as related to polit­ ical practices and institutions, and as a form of politics. Different instructors and sections will emphasize different central issues of politics such as (1) justice, (2) freedom, (3) power and knowledge, and (4) religion and politics.

The work of the Department o f Psychology concerns the systematic study o f human behav­ ior and experience. Processes o f perception, learning, thinking, and motivation 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 of study. Senior Comprehensive Project. T h e minimum requirement excludes courses cross-listed in psychology that are taught solely by members of other departments. Four should be core courses (with course numbers in the 030s): Physiological Psychology, Learning and A ctio n , Perception, Cognitive Psychology, Psychology o f Language, Social Psychology, Concepts o f the Person, Abnormal Psychology, and Developmental Psychology. The courses and seminars of the department are designed to provide a sound understanding of the principles and methods of inquiry o f psy­ chology. Students learn the nature o f psycho­ logical inquiry and psychological approaches to various problems encountered in the humani­ ties, the social sciences, and the life sciences. 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 a pre­ requisite for further work in the department. The department does not grant credit or place­ ment for the Advanced Placement examina­ tion in psychology. A course major consists o f at least 8 or 8.5 credits for students who m eet the comprehen­ sive requirement by completing PSYC 098: Students are required to meet a comprehensive requirement in their majors. In psychology, this may be accomplished in one o f two ways. T h e first way, open to all majors, is to complete the comprehensive project, a substantial paper on a topic o f the student’s choice in psycholo­ gy, approved by the faculty. See P SY C 098 and the department brochure. Students 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. T h e second way is to complete a 2-credit senior thesis (1 credit each semester of the senior year). T h e senior thesis program is open to students who have B+ averages both in psy­ chology and overall. Students must have an acceptable proposal, an adviser, and sufficient 327 Psychology background to undertake the proposed work. See P SY C 09 6 , 0 97, and the department brochure. Students should take at least one course that provides them with experience in conducting research, ordinarily P SY C 0 2 5 : R esearch 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 00 2 C , offered by the Department o f M athe­ matics and Statistics. In addition, they should take PSYC 025: Research Design and Analysis. If possible, students should com plete first Statistics and then Research Design before their senior year. A course minor consists of at least 5 credits in psychology taken at Swarthmore. These five courses must include P SY C 001: Introduction to Psychology and two core courses. The Honors Program in Psychology T h e Psychology Department offers qualified students the option o f study in the Honors Program. Students majoring in psychology in honors must prepare three fields for external exam ination. Two o f these preparations involve a 1-credit seminar and its approved prerequisite. T h e third is a thesis, completed over the course o f the senior year. There is no senior honors study in psychology. Students must also meet the requirement for study in four core areas, as previously described. T h e Psychology Departm ent also offers a minor in the Honors Program. Students with honors minors in psychology must take at least 5 credits in psychology at Swarthmore, includ­ ing two core courses. They must prepare one field for external examination, involving a 1credit seminar and its approved prerequisite. A detailed description o f the program is available in the department brochure. TEACHER CERTIFICATION Students who wish to pursue certification at the secondary school level should consult fac­ ulty in the Education Program. 328 Psychology majors can complete the require­ ments for teacher certification through a pro­ gram approved by the state of Pennsylvania. Because o f a change in teacher certification regulations that occurred in November 2000, students completing certification through 2003 will fulfill the requirements for social studies certification, and those who complete certifi­ cation in 2004 and beyond will complete the requirements for social science certification. For further information about the relevant set of requirements, please contact the Educational Studies Department chair, the Psychology Depart­ ment 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 behaviors 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 and Wednesday (1:15-4 p-m.), or Friday (2:15-5 p.m.) afternoon class periods. Students will be assigned to a group after class­ es 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.

Writing Psychology Through discussion, fieldwork, and writing, students explore current and past controversies in psychology, including the nature o f emotion and reason, adult development, “objectivity,” and gender. T h e class examines different forms of writing in psychology in preparation for stu­ dents’ own projects. This writing-intensive course uses a workshop format, with particular attention to the process of writing: How do we begin, sustain, and pol­ ish our writing? Students have the opportunity to try different forms, such as field notes, pop­ ular article, scholarly paper, and case study. Short (two- to five-page) writing projects, or their revisions will occur approximately every other week. T h e class is appropriate both for students with background in psychology and for those new to the subject. Though psychol­ ogy is the focus of the course, and usefol expe­ rience in psychology will be gained, the analyt­ ical and writing skills learned are applicable to work in other areas. Enrollment is limited to 12 students. PSYC 025. Research Design and Analysis How can one answer psychological questions? W hat counts as evidence for a theory? This course addresses questions about the formula­ tion and evaluation o f theories in psychology. T h e scientific model o f 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. Pitfalls and alternative approaches are also discussed. Workshop format. Prerequisite: PSYC 001. 1 credit. Foil 2002. Ward. PSYC 028.

The Psychology of Language (Cross-listed as LIN G 034) 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 accurately? How do we understand and produce it, seemingly without effort? W hat are its biological underpinnings? W hat is the relationship between language and thought? How did language evolve? And to what extent is the capacity for language “built in” (geneti­ cally) versus “built up” (by experience)? Prerequisite: PSYC 001 or permission o f the instructor. 1 credit.

Evolutionary Psychology Psychologists have recently begun to explore human nature through the lens of evolution by natural selection. 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 of intel­ ligence? W hy do we have language? W e also explore the limits o f this approach as an account of human nature.

In addition, we study the ways that gender is represented in research and clinical theories and in popular psychology. PSYC 041. Children at Risk Chronic illness, divorce, war, homelessness, and chronic poverty form the backdrop of many children’s lives. This course considers children’s responses to such occurrences from clinical, social, and developmental perspec­ tives. Special emphasis is placed on the contri­ butions of family and the social environment to the child’s well-being or distress. Prerequisite: PSYC 001. 1 credit. Spring 2003. Horwitz. PSYC 042. Human Intelligence This course adopts a broad view o f its topic, human intelligence. O ne major set of subtopics is drawn from the intelligence-testing (IQ ) tra­ dition. O ther concerns include cognitive theo­ ries of intelligence, developmental theories of intelligence, everyday conceptions of intelli­ gence, the relation between infant and adult intelligence, and the relation between human and animal intelligence.

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? T his course examines the principle o f 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 of self-control and their con­ sequences for physical and psychological well­ being. Prerequisite: P SY C 001. 1 credit. N ot offered 2002-2003.

Applications of Social Psychology In what areas have the lessons of more than 50 years o f social psychological research been applied, and how have those applications fared? T his course examines both the successes and failures o f those who have tried to put the theories and findings o f 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.

Thinking, Judgment, and Decision Making People in the modem world 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 of 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 the two can be closed.

Family Systems Theory and Psychological Change W hat causes mental illness? W hat helps people to recover? How can understanding family functioning enlarge our understanding of human interaction in schools, organizations, and communities? T his course examines these questions by taking a close look at several sys­ tem ic perspectives on family functioning. Using theoretical readings and empirical research, we explore how the family system has been considered or ignored in psychological research on human development and psy­ chopathology. Simultaneously, we work at expanding our own understandings o f family interaction by viewing and critically analyzing dramatic family encounters, as depicted in pop­ ular film, documentaries, and therapeutic case histories. Along the way, we consider concepts of normality, gender and power in family func­ tioning, and ethnicity and sociocultural influ­ ences on the family.

Psychotherapy W e consider mainstream psychotherapies (such as cognitive-behavior therapy, psychody­ namic therapies, and family systems therapies) and therapies informed by social critique (such as narrative, feminist, and multicultural thera­ pies). W e also study new community-based interventions for persons with chronic mental illnesses. W hat works? How do we know? We ask how current developments such as man­ aged care, the burgeoning psychopharmacolo­ gy industry, and the profusion o f self-help groups are reshaping psychotherapy.

Psychology of Environmental Problems Humans face severe environm ental crises, including global warming, resource depletion, and a precipitous decline in biodiversity. W hat are the psychological dimensions of environ­ mental problems, and how can psychology contribute to potential solutions? Readings comprise empirical and theoretical literature in psychology as well as relevant work from philosophy and history. PSYC 057 fulfills the social sciences/humanities requirement in environmental studies (and counts as a course in a psychology major). The course is taught in a seminar and work­ shop format, including the formulation of research projects on psychology and nature. Prerequisite: P SY C 001 or instructor’s permis­ sion. I credit.

Many psychological problems are markedly more common for one or the other gender. In asking why this is so, we examine cultural, sociological, psychological, and bio­ logical lines of evidence. W e also ask which women and which men are at risk. O ther emphases include conceptions o f normality and abnormality and feminist approaches to diagnosis and treatment.

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 of being, emotional life, moral and ethical ideas, inti­ mate relationships, and ideals differ radically. This 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 o f mental well-being and distress as well as cultural-specific modes of healing, and ethnicity and ethnopolitical conflict. Is culture an external force that determines individuals’ behavior, or do people produce culture through their everyday ways o f living and habits of language? W hat research tools can help us study cultural life? W hat ethical issues emerge when we enter a cultural setting different from our own? Prerequisites: PSYC 001 and one of the follow­ ing: Social Psychology (PSY C 0 35), Concepts o f the Person (P SY C 037), Abnormal Psychol­ ogy (PSY C 0 38), or Developmental Psychology (P SY C 039). 1 credit.

The public policy concentration enables stu­ dents to combine work in several departments toward both critical and practical understand­ ing of public policy issues, including those in the realm of social welfare, health, energy, environment, food and agriculture, and national and global security. 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. REQUIREMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The public policy concentration may be taken together with a course or honors examination major in any field or a minor in the Honors Program. A t a minimum, the concentration consists of 6 credits and an internship. T h e program of each concen trator should be worked out in consultation with the coordina­ tor of the public policy concentration and approved by the coordinator, preferably at the same time as majors in the course and Honors programs are planned. The public policy concentration consists of 6 credits of work. Basic academic requirements for the concentration cover three areas: (1) 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 later. In addition to these three foundation courses, 3 credits must be taken from among the sub­ stantive policy courses listed later, one of which must be the public policy thesis. These courses deal with substantive sectors and insti­ tutional aspects of public policy analysis. T he 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 not be admitted. In addition, stu­ dents should consider course prerequisites when planning the Concentration Program. INTERNSHIP Some direct experience or practical responsi­ bility in the field, through work in a public, pri­ vate, or voluntary agency, is required to gradu­ ate with a concentration in public policy. Normally, students will hold internships between their junior and senior years. T h e internship program is supervised by the coordi- Public Policy nator for the concentration. Students should plan for the internship experience six to eight months before it begins. T h e College has developed a network o f contacts in Washing­ ton, 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 main­ tenance costs during the eight to 10 weeks o f a summer internship. T h e College attempts to provide support for those students with public policy concentra­ tions who are unable to fund themselves, but such support cannot be guaranteed. O ther pos­ sible sources o f support for an internship include the James H. Scheuer Summer Intern­ ships in Environmental and Population Stud­ ies, the J. Roland Pennock Fellowships in Public Affairs, the Joel Dean Awards, the Sam Hayes III Research G rant, the Lippincott Peace Fellowships, and the David G . Sm ith Internship in Health and Social Policy. Public policy concentration funding for domestic intern­ ships will be limited to $3,000; funding for international internships will be limited to $3,500. Please note that airfare will not be cov­ ered for students traveling home for their internship. T h e total award from all College sources may not exceed $3,500. Information on each o f these sources can be obtained in the Public Policy Concentration Office, 105 Trotter Hall. PUBLIC POLICY THESIS A senior thesis, which constitutes one o f the three units o f substantive policy work, is one of the requirements of the concentration. T he thesis requirement is designed to provide a structured opportunity to write a substantial paper on a public policy issue. It is especially designed to allow those who have cultivated (through internships and academic work) a well-developed understanding o f some policy question to complete research and analysis under the supervision o f the coordinator of the public policy concentration and one or more other core faculty. Paper topics may focus on national or international policy issues and may range widely within areas of competence. Students writing a 1-credit thesis should regis­ 338 ter for PPOL 097 in the fall of 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 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, they may submit for external exam ination course or seminar work amounting to 2 credits in the policy concentration. Third, they may com­ bine 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 exam ination 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 Concen­ 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. Two examples of such policy study for a minor in honors are (1) the combination o f a course on welfare pol­ icy and a course on health policy or (2) the combination o f work o n economic develop­ m ent and a history or political science class on some region in which development issues are a central theme. Combinations of this sort would be developed through consultation with the coordinator of the concentration, who could then recommend them to the committee for approval. T h e requirement that public policy honors work be done, at least in part, outside the stu­ dent’s -major department is also relevant 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 of the thesis represents work done outside the student’s major department. The form o f external exam ination (e.g., a three-hour written exam or oral exam alone) will depend on the nature o f the student’s preparation (e.g., thesis, course, or seminar combination).

The 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 offered on a regular cycle present the development of Judaism and Christianity as well as the religions o f India, China, Japan, Africa, Europe, and the Americas. Breadth in subject matter is complemented by strong methodological diversity. Questions o f histori­ cal, theological, philosophical, literary-critical, feminist, sociological, and anthropological interests are raised. T his m u ltifaceted focu s makes religious studies an ideal liberal arts m ajor. REQUIREMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Students are encouraged to begin their study of religion with RELG 001 or one o f the courses numbered 001 through 0 1 3 . (M ajors are required to take at least one o f these courses.) As primary distribution courses, RELG 001 and RELG 0 08 introduce students to seminal themes and methods in the study o f religion. Other courses in this group prepare students in comparative, historical, philosophical, literary, 3 A bsent on leave, 2002-2003. 5 Fall 2002. and phenomenological approaches to religion. Successful completion of at least two religion courses is normally required for admission to seminars and is also a prerequisite for admis­ sion to a major in course or a major or minor in honors. 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 o f analysis represented in the depart­ m ent (see “Majoring in Religion at Swarthmore”). Students in both course and the Honors Program are expected to have taken the background courses required for work in specific seminars. A component of a major’s program o f study may include study abroad planned in collaboration with the department. In addition to the introductory course and dis­ tribution requirements, 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 compar­ ative, cross-cultural study o f religion. Majors are required to complete at least 8 cred­ its in religion, including the Senior Sympo­ sium, to meet department graduation require­ ments.

In general, only one such preparation can consist o f nonseminarbased studies. T h e honors mode of assessing a student’s three, 2-credit preparations in religion (seminars or course combinations but no t 2-credit theses) will be a three-hour written exam ination set by an external examiner. In addition, with the exception o f a thesis preparation, a student will submit a senior honors study (SH S) paper to the external examiner for each preparation. S H 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 nonseminar mode o f preparation, a revised course paper. Honors minors will be examined on one 2credit seminar preparation. T hey are required to complete 5 credits in the department but will not take the Senior Symposium required for majors. SH S for honors minors will consist of one revised seminar paper. Seminars and the written and oral external exam ination are the hallmarks o f honors. Seminars are a collaborative and cooperative venture among students and faculty members designed to promote self-directed learning. T h e teaching faculty evaluates seminar perfor­ m ance based on the quality o f seminar papers, comments during seminar discussions, and a final paper where appropriate. Because the seminar depends on the active participation of all its members, the department expects stu­ dents 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 comple­ tion of the assigned readings before the semi­ nar, 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 exam­ ination, both written and oral, is the capstone of the honors experience. Religion majors enrolled in SH S will revise 342 one paper for each o f the three preparations (one preparation for minors), with the excep­ tion o f a thesis, which has no SH S component. Those will be submitted to the department as part o f the students’ portfolio for the external examiners. Honors majors and minors will reg­ ister for a half-credit SH S in the second semes­ ter o f their senior year. In addition, the depart­ m ent expects students to form their own study groups to prepare for the external examina­ tions. T his extension is an important facet of the cooperative and collaborative aspect of honors preparation. COURSES RELG 001.

The Sociology and Anthropology Department provides students with intellectual tools for understanding contemporary social issues, such as globalization, nationalism, race relations, bioethics, and the complex layering of social inequalities in everyday life. T h e department attracts students who seek knowledge about societies of the world and the opportunity to conduct independent projects based on prima­ ry research and fieldwork. research interests through working directly with a faculty member. T his combination of breadth o f knowledge, global understanding, and independent research make sociology and anthropology an ideal liberal arts major. Courses cover social theory, the microtechnologies o f social change, the symbolic aspects of culture, and the historical development of the disciplines. Methodology courses both gen­ erate a firm understanding o f research design and explore the social dynamics behind the production o f texts and visual representations. These intellectual foundations are brought to bear, in turn, in the study of social institutions such as religion and the workplace and geo­ graphical areas such as the Middle East, Latin America, Europe, Southeast Asia, the former Soviet U nion, and the U nited States. Because o f its strong cross-cultural and transnational orientations, the department encourages students to study abroad. For many, foreign study provides a basis for their senior thesis project (see the department’s W eb site at http://www.swarthmore.edu/SocSci/SocAnth/ for a listing of student’s projects). T h e senior thesis project allows students to develop their REQUIREM ENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Applicants for the major normally have com­ pleted at least two courses in the department. Majors complete a minimum o f 8 units of work in the department, including a double-credit thesis tutorial normally to be taken during the fall and spring semesters of the senior year. T he Research Design course (SO A N 0 21B ) is strongly recommended for majors. Courses numbered SO A N 001 to 020 serve as points o f entry for students wishing to begin work in the department. Enrollment in these courses is unrestricted, and completion o f one of them will normally serve as prerequisite to higher-level work in the department (SO A N 021-099). (Som e higher courses may, however, with permission of the instructor, be taken w ithout prerequisite.) Sem inars are number­ ed SOAN 100 to 199. For current seminar listings, please consu lt our W eb site at http://www.swarthmore.edu/SocSci/SocAnth/ or contact our department administrative coordinator. 351 Sociology and Anthropology (N ote: Course labeling within each o f the three tiers o f offerings— introductory courses [SO A N 001-019], regular courses [SOA N 020099], and seminars [SO A 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.) Honors Major and Minor Candidates for honors in sociology and anthro­ pology must complete three honors prepara­ tions, one o f which must be SO A N 180: Thesis. T h e other two preparations may be a seminar, or, w ith permission, course plus attachm ent, paired upper-level courses, or for­ eign study. Minors in the Honors Program must complete only one preparation, although they must take additional elective work to ensure a proper co n ten t for this preparation.

P olitical Behavior and Culture (A xel, Dfaz-Barriga, G rant, Wagner-Pacifici, and W illie) CERTIFICATION FOR SECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHING Sociology/anthropology majors can complete th e requirem ents for teacher certification through a program approved by the state of Pennsylvania. Because o f a change in teacher certification regulations th at occurred in November 2000, students completing certifica­ tion during 2002 to 2003 will fulfill the re­ quirements for social studies certification, and those who complete certification in 2004 and beyond will complete the requirements for social science certification. Students contem­ plating teacher certification would normally schedule their program in a semester, which does not conflict with their senior thesis. Such programs should be developed in close consul­ tation with advisers in the Department of Educational Studies.

Social Movements in Latin America During the last 4 0 years, a number of social movements have emerged in Latin America, including urban, women’s, indigenous, and ecological. These movements have arisen, in some cases, as a result of 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 of neoliberal economic policies. This class explores the range of social movements by focusing on their attempts to articulate new visions of society and culture.

Second, the class will re-evaluate these classic texts in light of recent work (e.g., Mbembe, Dirks, Stoler, and Comaroff), which claims to challenge or extend the insights o f earlier scholarship. Readings and discussions will address well-worn questions about power, cul­ ture, and knowledge (what is “the West”? W hat is Orientalism? Is colonialism a hegemonic or other form of domination?) as well as more nuanced inquiries into race, sexuality, and desire. Concurrently, considering such issues will clear the ground for rethinking the rela­ tionship of anthropology to other disciplines in the humanities and the social sciences. citizenship as well as what their ideas reveal about the dominant culture.

Culture, Illness, and Health Everything humans do is culturally constructed. Our experiences o f health, illness, and healing are no exception. This course exam­ ines the cultural construction of health, illness, and healing by looking at (mainly) anthropological treatments o f these issues. Case materials will be drawn from a number o f cultures, non-W estern as well as Western, and wilt treat the intersection of non-W estern and Western healing systems. W e’ll wind up with an anthro­ pologically informed, social historical look at the biomedical model that dominates the modem Am erican experience of health, illness, and healing.

Social Inequality T his course analyzes conflicting theoretical perspectives on the origins and meaning of social inequality. Empirical studies of 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 J k f inequalities.

Comparative Perspectives on the Body This class explores how different societies reg­ ulate, discipline, and shape the human body. In the first part, we examine theories of 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? Further­ more, we investigate how embodiment shapes personal and collective identities (especially gender identities) and vice versa.

Globalization and the Production of Locality: Theoretical Debates and Ethnographic Explorations This class examines how globalization (i.e., the flows of capital, labor, discourses, images, and commodities) is shaping different parts o f the world. 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 nomic and political domination of 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 will address such questions by looking at a wide range o f topics such as migration, transnationalism, diaspora, consumption, and cosmopolitanism. 1 credit. N ot offered 2002-2003. SOAN 0490. Transnational Islam This class focuses on how globalization (flows of capital, labor, discourses, images, and com­ modities between different parts of the world) shape the articulation o f Islam in various cul­ tural settings. W e first take a quick look at the history of 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 movement (through migration and conversion) of Islam and Mus­ lims to Western countries (U nited States and Europe). W e use films, printed texts, and Inter­ net material to explore questions such as: How do Muslims work to m aintain their religious 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. N ot offered 2002-2003. SOAN 055B. The Only Good Indian T h e 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 of cross-cultural communication and mutual adaptation that re­ peatedly confounded the intentions and expec­ tations of parties in both cultural camps. From an anthropological perspective, this course treats this process, as it occurred North off the R io Grande River, attending especially to the issues, tradition, mutual accommodation, resis­ tance, revitalization, and modernity. Case materials will be drawn from among the fol­ lowing cultures: Navaho, Iroquois, Creek, Nez Pierce, Crow, and Ojibwa cultures. 1 credit. N ot offered 2002-2003 ■ SOAN 056B.

America by the Numbers: An Introduction to Demography Internships in professional organizations, such as W HYY, Scribe Video Center, Mosaic Media, and other settings provide training in both research and video production skills. Depend­ ing on availability, interns might work with visual ethnographers, documentary filmmak­ ers, community-based filmmakers, and/or video editors on projects that require research on sociology and anthropology-related themes. Interns will normally receive 0.5 credit (grade based on credit/no credit) for committing to their projects for six to 12 hours a week. T his course will introduce students to key demographic methods, including life tables, fertility rates, and mortality statistics. Using data from the latest U .S. census, we will explore the changing com position o f the Am erican population, including the structure o f the family, the face o f the workforce, the aging o f the population, and the growing rep­ resentation o f minorities. W hat impact will these changes have on the way we organize our politics, our employment, and our social lives? W hat major effect will these changes have on Am erican culture?

Performance Theory, Gender, and Sexuality Recently, feminist theory has turned to a framework o f “performativity” to analyze norms o f gender and sexuality. Most generally, the idea o f performativity suggests that— rather than being a part of nature— such categories as “male,” “female,” or “heterosexual” are created, or perform ed, w ithin changing contexts of social interaction. T his framework has helped us to distinguish gender and sexuality as com ­ plex cultural formations, and it has opened up new possibilities for critiques of the interplay of culture, power, and language. This course fol­ lows the emergence o f the idea of performativ­ ity very closely, from its introduction within the philosophy o f J.L. Austin and the linguis­ tic analysis o f Emile Benveniste, to the more recent debates among feminist scholars such as Eve Sedwick, Judith Butler, Catherine M ac­ Kinnon, Rosalind Morris, Elizabeth Povinelli. tion, we read ethnographies and novels and watch films to explore questions such as: How is space socially constructed? W hat is the rela­ tionship between space and power? How is this relationship embedded in urban forms under projects of modernity and postmodemity? How do the ordinary practitioners of the city resist and transform these forms? Our discussion will pay special attention to issues related to racism and segregation, ethnic enclaves, urban dan­ ger, gendered spaces, colonial urbanism, and the “global” city. 2 credits.

Terror 2 credits. Explaining terror has taken on increasing importance in recent years. Writers, however, have been attempting to trace out the linea­ ments of this phenomenon for centuries— con­ ceiving it, variously, as an affect, an experi­ ence, and an instrument of domination. W hat this literature, in its diversity, suggests is that terror, however conceived, has to do with not just a perceived threat of foreign or alien oth­ ers but with ideas about difference; with a fear of the unknown; and, ultimately, with the unknowability o f death itself. T his seminar will use a selective reading o f historically signifi­ cant texts to frame a study o f recent research on terror. From such a perspective, we will inquire into the relationship of terror and death, seeing their meanings as culturally negotiated and contested. W e will, likewise, consider how such a framework can help us begin to address such complicated practices as state terror, torture, and human rights abuses.

To tap into these resources, this seminar consults the work of Diamond, Sulloway, Gardiner, Gould, and Pinker, with reference to human intelligence, emotion, speech, biography, gender, and histo­ ry. The human capacity for creativity, and its expression in lives and lifeways, is the focus. The adaptive importance for humans o f this capacity is considered in light of ethnographic, historical, and biographical case materials. different techniques and approaches used to study urban cultures and identities; (2) exam­ ine how the collection of data relates to anthropological theories and methods; (3) explore how research in cities shape the field of cultural anthropology.

Culture, Power, Islam SOAN1 2 1 . Visual Ethnography and Documentary Film: Theory and Production 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. This seminar examines the use o f film and video by sociologist and anthropologist to con­ vey and communicate aspects of culture that are visible— from rituals, performance, and dance to disputes and violence. T h e course will look at the history of visual ethnography and explore the m ajor issues w ithin the field, including the relationship between ethnogra­ phers and filmmakers, and the appropriateness of the conventions of documentary film, pay­ ing special attention to the influences o f poli­ tics, economics, and technical advances. T h e course will include readings on visual ethnog­ raphy and documentary film techniques.

A ll courses have a sig­ nificant writing component, thè nature of which varies from course to course. Because all work in theater eventually issues in a public occasion, classes are usually open to visitors. REQUIREMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Planning a Theater Program can be complicat­ ed. First- and second-year students thinking about a theater major should read these re­ quirements and recommendations closely and should consult with the chair of the Theater Department early and often. Leave schedules, a wide variety of intern and apprentice programs, and the importance o f course sequences make long-range planning essential. The requirements for majors and minors in the Department of Theater will be significantly revised beginning with the Class o f 2005. Students from the classes o f 2005 and 2006 are T H E A 001 (Theater and Performance) is a prerequisite 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 0 5 0 through 099. Seminars carry numbers 100 and above. Interm ediate work in each o f the course sequences requires a beginning course in that area. Som e advanced courses carry additional pre­ requisites that are listed in the course descrip­ tions. For those majors who intend a career in profes­ sional theater, whether academic, not-for-prof­ it, or commercial, internships in professional theaters 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.

A production project in one of the following fields: D irecting 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 presentation a locally castable portion of the chosen play. T h e department will hire one or more professional actors for a set num­ ber o f rehearsal hours in connection with the project. T h e instructor will supervise these activities appropriately, on thè model o f a spe­ cial project in theater. 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 not include feedback from the examiner. The 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 public performances. T h e exami­ nation proper will consist of an extended inter­ view directly following the performance and a briefer oral during honors weekend. T h e sub­ je c t 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 o f the entire process as a part of his or her undergraduate education and future plans. Scenography T h e student will function as the resident de­ signer for a production presented by the Thea­ ter Department in one area of scenography. Also, , the student will prepare all research, sketches, mechanical drawings, models, and preliminary writing for this project. Because this is a collaborative project, a production time line will need to be prepared and produc­ tion meetings scheduled. In addition to the development of the design, the student will collaborate with all craftsmen during the fabri­ cation phase, ensuring the full-scale scenography is executed as designed. T h e local instruc­ tor will supervise these activities appropriately, on the model of a special project in theater. The external examiner will receive copies of all materials as the student creates them and will pay close attention to the way in which the project develops under continual revision. The examiner will attend one o f the public performances and be presented with the stu­ dent’s completed project portfolio. T h e exam­ iner will question the student on the model of advanced classes in architecture. D ram aturgy This project will be associated with Drama­ turgy Seminar, Directing, or Playwnting Work­ shop. T h e student will create a body of writing appropriate to the specific project. T his will include (but is not limited to) notes on pro­ duction history, given circumstances, script analysis, program and press k it 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 pro­ duction project, the student will continue work in rehearsal. T h e external exam iner will receive all materials as they are generated. 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. T h e examination proper, given during the honors weekend, will consist of an extended oral pre­ sentation similar to a design presentation. Acting The student, with the advice o f an adviser, will select and prepare a role from an appropriate script. T he program will hire one or more pro­ fessional actors for a set number of rehearsal hours, which the student will supplement with practice and other acting “homework.” T h e adviser will assist in this work on a regular basis. The external examiner 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 of the private “book” actors keep) to support discussion with the examiner in an extended interview imme­ diately following an in-house presentation of the work. During the honors weekend, the examiner will conduct a second oral examina­ tion focusing on the student’s reconsideration of the work after some time has passed. O ne o f these combinations will constitute the normal honors major in theater. Honors stu­ dents will take Senior Company in the fall of senior year, while they are planning their pro­ duction project. T h e usual schedule will be spring o f junior year, Theater History Seminar; fall of senior year, T H E A 099 and project plan­ ning; and spring of senior year, thesis and pro­ duction project. Double majors taking three examinations in theater will also follow that schedule. For double majors taking one exam ination and comps in theater, the examination may be a production project, depending on available resources. Honors Minor Seven credits of work including T H E A 001 (T h eater and Perform ance); T H E A 0 0 2 A (A cting I); 1 credit in scenography (TH EA 004A , 004B , or 0 04C ); T H E A 015 (Perfor­ mance Theory and Practice); either T H E A 016 (Playwriting Workshop) or T H E A 035 (D i­ recting I); and either T H E A 106 (Theater History Seminar) or T H E A 121 (Dramaturgy Seminar).

Semester Abroad in Poland T h e T h ea ter Departm ent and the D ance Program have jointly developed a semesterabroad program for interested Swarthmore stu­ dents based at the Silesian Dance Theatre (Slaski Teatr Tanca) in Bytom in conjunction with the Jagiellonian University o f Cracow and other institutions in the vicinity. T h e pro­ gram is intended to provide participating stu­ dents with a combination o f foreign study with the experience o f working in various capacities (dance performance, arts adm inistration, scenography, etc.) within the environment of a professional dance theater company for credit. Participating students would be housed in Bytom and have the option o f taking addition­ al courses in Cracow. Intensive study o f Polish while in the country will be required of all par­ ticipating students. Students participating will be able to enroll for the equivalent of a full semester’s credit (4 to 5 credits). Participation in the Annual International Dance Confer­ en ce and Perform ance Festival hosted by Silesian Dance Theatre in June and July is highly recommended for certain types of credit and can be funded all or in part by the College in many cases. Beyond credits in theater, dance, and intensive Polish, a menu of possible tutorials is being developed in Polish literature and history, environmental studies, film, reli­ gion, Jewish and Holocaust studies, and other fields. Interested students should co n tact Professor A llen Kuharski, co-director o f the Semester Abroad Program, as early as possible for advising purposes and updated information on the status o f the program.

Literature as Performance in Africa (Cross-listed as B L S T 009) Most o f traditional as well as contemporary African and Affican-heritage literatures are produced in a cultural environment where the dominant mode of communication is oral. In addition, the concept and practice of perfor­ m ance is central to artistic expression in African and Affican-heritage tradition. This course shall consider, among other theoretical issues, the many ways in which literature as performance may be seen as a four-way encounter between text, context, artist, and audience, each one helping to enhance aes­ th e tic experience and “enjoym ent o f the intrinsic qualities o f the act o f expression it­ self’ (Bauman). T h e course provides an appro­ priate intellectual framework for critical analy­ sis, interpretation, and appreciation o f a wide range o f traditional and contemporary verbal/musical/dramatic art forms. Those forms include oral poetry, including epic, dirge, praise, libation, and so forth from Africa; dozens, toast, and so forth from the diaspora; the folk tale and other oral narrative genres; drama, including dance-drama, folk opera, popular theater, such as the C oncert Party in G hana; oratory; and traditions o f song: tradi­ tional, contemporary, popular, and so forth. Lectures, discussions, and readings are to be complemented with extensive use of audiovi­ sual recordings and presentations by one or two guest artists.
