Selection
During their junior year, participants may apply for selection to the PIMS program. Transfer students and post- baccalaureate degree students who participate in the program are eligible for selection during their second semester in residence (minimum 12 sh per semester). Appropriate forms may be obtained from the associate director's office. The candidate must take the MCAT examination in the spring of the junior year to be eligible for spring selection. One may postpone application until the fall of the senior year. In this case, the MCAT must be taken no later than the August offering.
Selection is made by the PIMS selection committee at FSU which is comprised of representatives from the participating universities and practicing physicians. The selection is based upon grades, MCAT scores, recommendations, and interviews. Both selectees and participants are encouraged to apply to any other medical school programs they wish.
If selected, the student must complete the major and other university graduation requirements. Also, the selected student must complete the following:
BCH 3033 - Biochem I w/lab .......................... 4
BCH 3034 - Biochem II w/lab ....................... 4

The Program
The program begins at FSU in May following receipt of the undergraduate degree. Courses taken there represent the first year of medical school. On successful completion of that first year (three consecutive semesters), the student transfers to UF as a second- year medical student. At the end of the fourth year, the M.D. degree is awarded by the College of Medicine at the University of Florida. Hospital- based residency programs (3 or more years, depending on specialization) follow receipt of the M.D. degree prior to private practice.

Course Description Prefixes
MIS - Military Science .......................... p. 176

The military science department's program of instruction qualifies the student for a commission as an officer in the United States Army, Army Reserve or National Guard. The curriculum compliments any undergraduate course of study which leads to a B.S. or B.A. degree, and provides a base for initial entry into the Army's educational program.
The ROTC (Reserve Officers Training Corps) program emphasizes leadership and management training. A laboratory provides experience in a range of leadership positions. Practical experience is gained at a summer camp normally attended between the junior and senior years. Men and women undergo the same military training throughout the ROTC program; however, women may not be commissioned in some combat arms branches.

Commissioning Programs
One program provides a four- year military science curriculum, including a two- year basic course of study and a two- year advanced course of study. Students enter the four year program as a freshman or as a sophomore.
There is a two-year ROTC program designed for junior college and other non- ROTC college transferees. Four- year students with only two years of school remaining who receive placement credit for the basic course of study may also enroll. Graduate students may qualify for enrollment in a two- year course of study.

Basic Course of Study
The courses which comprise the basic course of study are normally taken as electives in the freshman and sophomore years. It prepares students for the advanced course of study by familiarizing them with organization of the Army, military skills, and military tradition. Students do not incur any military obligation as a result of enrolling in the basic course of study.
In order to enroll, a student must be physically and morally qualified, a full- time degree- seeking student at the university, and a U.S. citizen.

Advanced Course of Study
The advanced course of study covers leadership and management, the exercise of command, military teaching methods, tactics, logistics, administration, history, and military justice. Leadership experience and command experience are provided by assigning advanced course students as cadet officers and non- commissioned officers.

For entry into the advanced course of study students must:
A. complete a lower- division ROTC basic course of study at a college or university, or a junior ROTC program, or the ROTC six- week basic camp (Camp Challenge) at Fort Knox, or have prior honorable military service;
B. be a U.S. citizen not over 30 years of age at the time of commissioning in the Army (waiverable up to 32 years of age);

C. pass a military medical examination and physical fitness test;
D. have two academic years (four semesters) of upper- division coursework remaining with a GPA of 2.0 on all lower- division coursework;
E. have a passing score on either the ACT, SAT or Officer Selection Battery (OSB) test (97);

F. have no civil convictions with fines of greater than $250;

G. be selected by the chairperson of military science.
After all entry requirements are met, the student must execute a written agreement (contract and enlistment) with the U.S. Army to complete the advanced course of study, to attend a summer camp at the time specified, and to accept a commission if tendered unless relieved from contract by proper authority.

Requirements for a Commission in U.S. Army
Students desiring a commission in the U.S. Army must complete the following requirements:

A. bachelor's or master's degree;
B. 18 sh of military science courses including MIS 1031, MIS 1620C, MIS 2400C, MIS 2631C, MIS 3410C, MIS 3611C, MIS 4107C, MIS 4420C. Students with prior military service, junior ROTC, ROTC basic camp, or equivalent military training, can receive placement credit for lower- division courses with departmental approval.
C. one course (3 sh) from each of the following areas: written communication skills, human behavior, military history, national security policy, management, math reasoning and computer literacy;

D. ROTC advanced camp attended between junior and senior years;

E. maintain a GPA of 2.0;
F. non- scholarship cadets maintain 2.0 GPA in military science; scholarship cadets maintain a 3.0 GPA in military science;
G. a qualified physical examination, passing score on Army physical- fitness test and a secret security clearance.

Textbooks and Uniforms
All textbooks and uniforms required for participation in the Army ROTC program are furnished by the Department of Military Science.

Monetary Allowances
Cadets selected for admission into the advanced course and who sign a contract and enlistment qualify for a nontaxable monetary allowance of $100 per month for each month of enrollment during the academic year. In addition, students receive approximately $600 for a six- week advanced camp.

Scholarship Program
Financial assistance is available in the form of ROTC four-, three- and two- year scholarships for selected students. Under this program, the Army pays tuition, fees, a flat rate for textbooks, and other required expenses except room and board. In addition, the student receives the monetary allowance described above. Most students entering the program by attending the six- week basic camp are eligible to compete for two- year scholarships while at the camp. Coordination should be made with the ROTC office for application at the beginning of the spring semester prior to enrollment.

Activities
The military science department sponsors several activities throughout the year which are designed to enhance the student's participation in college activities, develop leadership skills and provide a solid foundation for commissioning into the Officers Corps. Some examples are physical conditioning, rappelling, orienteering, visits to military installations, overnight field training exercises, a dining- out in the fall, and a military ball in the spring.

Pre- engineering is a cooperative program with the FAMU/FSU College of Engineering. It prepares the student to enter the upper- division of colleges of engineering programs across the southeast. Generally, students entering this program will have completed college preparatory courses in math and science. The program offers most of the preparations and coursework necessary to earn a B.S. degree in an engineering discipline. The remaining coursework can be taken at the UWF/UF Joint Program in Electrical Engineering, the FAMU/FSU College of Engineering, or at an institution of choice.
The program has two components. The liberal studies component consists of a combination of English, history, humanities, social sciences, and the arts which is consistent with the general University requirements found on p. 44. The engineering component consists of chemistry, physics, math, and general engineering studies.
Students who are admitted to the UWF program also can be admitted into the FAMU/FSU College of Engineering if they complete 45 sh in the engineering core studies and the lower division Core Curriculum while enrolled at UWF and their grades are satisfactory.
Course requirements for the primary engineering disciplines are listed below. Specialization in most other engineering disciplines are usually met with these course offerings.
Major Requirements

Preprofessional Program - Medical Sciences
(see also Program in Medical Sciences (PIMS), p. 100)

Department of Chemistry, College of Science and Technology

Program Contact: W.P. Halpern
The number of students applying for professional training in fields such as medicine, osteopathic medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, optometry, podiatry, pharmacy, and physical therapy always exceeds the number of positions available. Competition for these positions is keen. Students from Florida primarily apply to in-state professional schools. They must have outstanding credentials to receive serious consideration at public institutions out-of-state. Private out-of-state institutions are somewhat more receptive.

Foreign professional schools should be considered with extreme caution.

Preprofessional Academic Program
Professional schools are interested in a student's academic training and accomplishments are measured by the student's transcripts. The most successful applicants are full-time students (15 sh) with a minimum accumulative GPA above 3.4 during the three or four semesters immediately preceding application.
It makes little difference as to the student's major, although most preprofessional students at UWF select the preprofessional specialization in biology or chemistry. Criteria to be considered in selecting a major are: first, a field within which the student can meet the prerequisites for admission to professional school and for graduation from UWF--at a very high performance level; second, a major which provides viable career alternatives; third, a major which is enjoyable to the student. Professional schools require at the minimum: biology w/laboratory (1 year); mathematics (calculus required or recommended); physics w/laboratory (1 year); and chemistry w/laboratory through organic (physical therapy requires only one year of chemistry). Most schools have additional requirements. Interested students should see Program in

Medical Sciences (PIMS) listed alphabetically.
Courses in computer techniques, statistics, psychology, physical chemistry, analytical chemistry, biochemistry, genetics, microbiology, cell biology, developmental biology, and physiology are useful and often required. However, a student could major in history, for example, and use electives as a means to complete the entrance requirements. The exact program for each student will depend upon background and interests.
A speech course and two courses in animal science are required for admission to veterinary medicine. UWF students generally meet these requirements by registering at the University of Florida as transient students during a summer semester.
Pharmacy and physical therapy schools require at least two years of college which include the above required courses. The other professional schools prefer a bachelor's degree.
Admission Requirements to the Upper-Division Preprofessional Program for

Transfer Students
Professional training is essentially advanced training in biology. The emphasis at mathematics, physics, and chemistry, as much as biology, to facilitate understanding of advanced work. Transfer students should have background in all four science areas. They also should have 12 sh in the humanities, including English composition, and 12 sh in social sciences, such as psychology and history. College algebra with trigonometry, general chemistry, and elementary biology, and zoology or botany are prerequisites for the upper-division science courses.

Application Process to Professional Schools
The formal process of applying for admission to professional schools generally begins in the spring of the calendar year prior to the anticipated enrollment. As appropriate, a student takes the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT); the Dental Aptitude Test (DAT); the Optometry Aptitude Test (OCAT); the Graduate Record Examination (GRE); or other preprofessional examination. It is necessary to have completed almost all prerequisites by that time. The examinations may be taken at other times, but the decision should be discussed with an advisor.
Applications are completed and submitted to the schools or to application services such as the American Medical College Application Service (AMCAS) or the Association of American Dental Schools Application Service (AADSAS) during the summer and early fall. Evaluations are submitted by the faculty at that time and students seek interviews from the professional schools which require them. Decisions generally are announced during the January-to-March period.

Preprofessional Advisory Committee
Students enrolled at UWF who intend to apply for admission to professional schools such as medical, dental, optometry, pediatric medicine or schools of veterinary medicine generally utilize the services of the Preprofessional

Advisory Committee (PPAC).
The committee provides on-going advice (regardless of the student's major), direct contact with the professional schools, brochures, applications, and other materials of interest to such students. PPAC arranges visits of admissions officers from various schools and provides a means of introducing students to local practitioners.
During the application process, candidates for admission to professional schools usually are asked to provide a letter of recommendation from a faculty committee. PPAC serves this function. On request, the Committee will schedule an interview with the candidate. This interview serves several purposes. PPAC gathers information for the preparation of its letter. The student's performance at the interview is critiqued and the candidate is given some pointers on presentation.

Admission Requirements
See "Admission to Professional Education Graduate Programs" under Teacher

Education in this Catalog.
A limited number of students not meeting the minimum requirements are admitted and placed on probation in departmental master's degree programs. To be considered for such admission, applicants must present GRE scores and transcripts of all coursework previously attempted. Students are selected for admission on the basis of the undergraduate GPA, graduate course GPA, and GRE scores.
When the student does not have an undergraduate major or the equivalent in elementary or middle school education, prerequisite coursework will be required and planned for the candidate by the student's academic advisor.
When evidence indicates weakness in written and oral language skills, the candidate may be recommended for non- credit personal improvement work in this area.

Other Considerations
Transfer credit: Students may be permitted to transfer 6- 10 sh of graduate credit with the approval of the academic advisor and chairperson.
Use of undergraduate credit: With prior approval of the student's academic advisor and the department chairperson a maximum of 6 sh of 3000- or 4000- level coursework may be applied toward the master's degree.
Use of workshop credit: No more than 6 sh of credit in workshop courses may be applied toward the master's degree.

Degree Requirements
In addition to general University requirements (p. 47) candidates for degrees offered by the department must meet the following requirements:

A. Degree programs must include at least 36 sh of approved coursework.
B. At least one- half of the credit hours included in the degree program must be taken in the specialization area.
C. At least one- half of the credit hours included in the degree program must be in graduate- level courses (numbered 6000 or above).

D. Degree candidates must complete an approved degree project.
Coursework in each program is organized around three major components: specialization requirements, electives, and the degree project.
Specialization Requirements: Includes coursework related to primary education and a highly individualized degree- program project (see below). This project may take the form of an action research, formal thesis, or comprehensive examination.
Electives: Determined by students in consultation with their academic advisors.

Degree Project: The degree project will take one of three forms:
A. A written comprehensive examination is required of all departmental master's degree candidates who do not select the action research or the thesis option.
B. The action research option requires the design, implementation and scholarly report of an action research project.
C. The thesis option requires the production of a scholarly report of an investigation resulting from a study based on a careful review of related literature.
PRIMARY EDUCATION, M.Ed.
Major emphasis is given to teaching children in grades K-3. Students completing this program will be eligible for Florida graduate certification in primary education. By carefully designing individual programs, students may also be eligible for certification in elementary education. This individualized degree program emphasizes the development of master teachers and/or instructional leaders for nursery school through third grade.

Through the study of psychology, students learn to evaluate and understand behavior and experience. This knowledge is personally valuable and provides a base for a variety of professions in education, research, business, and clinical settings.
The most current degree requirements are published in the Psychology Student Handbook, which is available from advisors or department secretaries. These requirements, if different, supersede those in the Catalog. The student should develop a degree plan with an academic advisor in the department during the first semester of attendance. Requests for exemptions from any of the B.A. or M.A. degree requirements must be submitted in writing to the chairperson using the Department of Psychology petition form.
