Claremont Graduate University
Our Mission
further in their current occupations or to change fields.
The Mission of Claremont Graduate University (CGU) is to
prepares a diverse group of outstanding individuals to assume
leadership roles in the worldwide community through teaching, research, and practice in selected fields. As its credo, CGU
believes:
This diversity of experiences, interests, backgrounds, and aspirations allows a diversity of perspectives that enlivens classroom interaction throughout all CGU programs.
• Superb instruction, innovative research, and practical
experience are the keys to an excellent graduate education.
• Educational institutions have an obligation to become
civically engaged in order to enrich and to better society.
• Institutions of higher education must be ethically vigilant, consciously exploring normative and moral issues.
• Knowledge consists of more than facts and has more
than merely utilitarian ends; knowledge pursues and
reflects values.
• Education is immeasurably enriched by the experience
and insight of those outside the educational community.
• Human diversity is indispensable for improving the
quality and texture of the educational experience.
• Ongoing education is a lifelong responsibility of the
global community’s leaders.
• Advanced education is essential for the well-being and
future of an increasingly complex society.
In a dynamic, supportive environment, CGU educates men
and women to be experts in their chosen fields, to have discerning judgment, sound ethics, and the cultivated skills
needed to lead a wide variety of institutions. Its relatively
small size promotes close faculty-student relationships, flexibility in program and course scheduling, rapid curricular
response to changing societal and marketplace demands, and
cross-disciplinary cooperation and collaboration between
scholars and academic programs. To provide this individualized approach to advanced education, CGU strives to offer
exceptional services to students through a responsive administration and staff.
Commitment to Diversity
In its educational programs, its admissions and financial aid
policies, and its faculty and staff hiring practices, Claremont
Graduate University is strongly committed to creating and
nurturing an environment that is characterized by diversity.
In student selection and in all of its activities and programs,
CGU functions without regard to race, creed, color, gender,
sexual orientation, national origin, age, or disability. CGU is
pleased to welcome a wide variety of students to its programs,
including recent college graduates, young professionals, and
mid- and late-career men and women who wish to advance
The Nature of the Graduate University
Comprehensive, independent, devoted entirely to graduate
study, and a member of The Claremont Colleges consortium,
Claremont Graduate University is unlike any graduate-level
institution in the nation.
Founded as The Claremont Graduate School in 1925, CGU
has achieved a reputation for excellence in the arts, education,
the humanities, religion, the social systems management,
mathematics, and information science. Today, CGU’s approximately 2,000 full-time and part-time students are enrolled in
degree programs in 24 different fields. Most of these programs
lead to the Ph.D. degree.
Although relatively small in size, CGU enjoys the benefits of
a larger university. Through its partnership in The Claremont
Colleges consortium, Claremont Graduate University manages to achieve the best of two worlds that are often considered mutually exclusive: intimate-scale education, and the
facilities and academic breadth of a much larger institution.
The Claremont Colleges consortium, a unique concept in
American higher education, includes CGU and nationally
known undergraduate institutions—Claremont McKenna
College, Harvey Mudd College, Pitzer College, Pomona
College, and Scripps College—and the Keck Graduate
Institute of Applied Life Sciences.
Each of the seven institutions has its own student body, faculty, administration, campus, and curricular emphasis, style,
and mission. Yet, they are on contiguous campuses in the
pleasant Southern California community of Claremont, and
they cooperate to provide university-scale services and facilities, including a two million-volume library system, health
and counseling centers, ethnic centers, an interfaith chaplaincy, and a performing arts complex. In addition, the
Claremont School of Theology and the Rancho Santa Ana
Botanic Garden are affiliated with the Graduate University.
Because many of the faculty members from the undergraduate colleges and affiliated institutions participate actively in
the Graduate University’s programs, CGU students benefit
from potential access to a faculty of far greater breadth than
any other 2,000-student institution could offer.

Transdisciplinary Study
Students at CGU are encouraged to pursue personal academic
interests and research agendas when they transcend the traditional boundaries between individual programs and disciplines. Thus a graduate education at CGU features both the
disciplinary training and specialization appropriate to the master’s or doctoral degree, as well as opportunities for courses and
research that make real connections between multiple perspectives.
In addition to the opportunity to select courses and work with
faculty outside of one’s own school or department, students
may select formal dual-degree programs, simultaneously completing two degrees. For example, recent graduates have earned
the Master of Business Administration degree and the Ph.D. in
Psychology. Students may also propose interfield degree programs that combine two disciplinary fields in one degree. For
example, a recent graduate earned her Ph.D. in Political Science
and Religion. Other resources include transdisciplinary student research awards.
In 2004, the CGU faculty implemented a revision to the doctoral program by which all doctoral students will take at least
one transdisciplinary seminar (see the description in the
“Doctor of Philosophy Degree” section in this bulletin). By
integrating the transdisciplinary approach to scholarship,
teaching, and research into the graduate curriculum, we intend
to foster it in faculty members and students.

From campus phone: 72000
Campus Safety personnel are on duty 24 hours a day yearround to help provide safety and security for students, faculty,
and staff. Campus Safety is staffed by 22 full-time and 35 part-
time employees who are specifically trained and responsible
for a full range of public safety services including: crime
reports; apprehension and arrest of suspects; enforcement of
all federal, state, and local laws, as well as college policies and
regulations; responding to suspicious activity/persons, medical emergencies, fire emergencies, traffic accidents, and safety
hazards; parking enforcement; escort services; and a host of
related security services.
The department has an active crime prevention unit to help
provide the community with comprehensive programs promoting the elimination and reduction of crime. However, it
must be recognized that ultimately, each individual is responsible for his/her own safety and security. In this regard, the following suggestions are highly recommended:
• Report all crimes and suspicious activity/persons
immediately (ext. 72000). Prompt reporting may assist
in apprehension and prevention of future crimes.
• Keep your residential/office door(s) locked and do not
prop open exterior doors.
• Exercise good judgment when walking alone at night.
• Request escort service when traveling alone on campus

increase international and multicultural understanding and
friendship through programs for the entire community, such
as Thursday lunch programs on global issues and the annual

Honnald Library on Ninth Street.
Libraries
The Claremont Colleges are served by a centrally administered
system of four libraries whose holdings are available to all
members of the academic community. Honnold/Mudd
Library houses the main social sciences and humanities collections; Denison Library, on the Scripps campus, houses collections in the humanities and fine arts; Seeley G. Mudd
Science Library, on the Pomona campus, and Sprague Library,
on the Harvey Mudd campus, house collections in the sciences
and engineering. The Libraries’ holdings include nearly 2.5million volumes. Collections in libraries of affiliated institutions either on or adjacent to the campuses also are available to
graduate students.
The Libraries also have extensive holdings of journals, magazine, and newspapers: currently we provide online electronic
access to over 12,000 titles and we receive more than 4,000 titles
in paper. Honnold/Mudd is a depository for publications
issued by the United States government and has extensive holdings of publications from the State of California, the United
Nations, other international agencies, and Great Britain. The
Libraries have a large collection of microforms, including some
31,000 reels of microfilm and more than 1.1 million other units
of microtext. Included in these holdings are long runs of newspapers, early printed books from England and the United
States, and anthropological source materials in the Human
Relations Area Files. The Asian Studies Collection at
Honnold/Mudd Library has a large collection of Asian-language materials. Among the Libraries’ special collections are
the Oxford Collection, comprising books about the university
and the city of Oxford, and the Renaissance Collection, which
focuses on the life and work of Angelo Poliziano, both accessible from Special Collections in Honnold/Mudd Library; the
Ida Rust Macpherson Collection at Denison Library, which
focuses on the history and accomplishments of women; and
the Woodford Collection at Seeley G. Mudd Science Library,
which includes rare and historical geology books.
The Libraries’ large collection of electronic resources provides
ready access to a wide variety of bibliographic, full-text, and
multimedia information. Through the World Wide Web, it is
possible to search Blais, the online catalog, or any of hundreds
of databases including services such as Lexis-Nexis Academic
and Social Science Citation Index. Full-text resources include
electronic books and journals, as well as specialized resources
such as Early English Books Online, Congressional Quarterly’s
CQ Library, and the New Grove Dictionary of Music and
Musicians. Thousands of digitized primary source materials,
including a growing number of materials from the Libraries’
Special Collections, are also accessible. Most of these resources
are available via the Internet to students , faculty, and staff of
The Claremont Colleges in their labs, offices, and homes, as
well as in the Libraries.
The Libraries offer Interlibrary Loan service and maintain partnerships, which provide access to books, articles, and other
materials not held in our collections. These partnerships include
LINK+ and the Center for Research Libraries in Chicago. The
collections of two affiliated institutions in Claremont, the
Claremont School of Theology and Rancho Santa Ana Botanic
Garden, are included in Blais and are available to the students,
faculty, and staff of The Claremont Colleges.
The Libraries are partners with the Claremont Colleges in
learning, teaching, and research. Library resources are available to all members of The Claremont Colleges academic community. Reference staff in each of the four libraries provides
assistance with locating and using both traditional and electronic information sources. The Libraries also offer reference
assistance online. One of the major activities of the Libraries
is teaching students how to find, evaluate, and effectively use
information. Tours, demonstrations, and instruction for
classes and other groups, as well as individual appointments
for instruction and research assistance, may be scheduled in
each of the libraries. Classes in Honnald/Mudd Library are
held in the Keck Learning Room, the Libraries’ state-of-theart, hands-on teaching facility.
Small collections at individual colleges serve specialized needs.
At Claremont Graduate University, for example, the George G.
Stone Center for Children’s Books serves the field of education.

Policies
Basic Code of Conduct
Claremont Graduate University is committed to maintaining
a community and environment that promotes our educational mission of preparing a diverse group of outstanding
individuals to assume leadership roles in the worldwide community through research, teaching, and practice in selected
fields. Students, faculty, and staff are expected to respect the
person and property of all constituents, and the educational
and administrative processes and policies of Claremont
Graduate University and The Claremont Colleges.
Violation of this basic code of conduct on the property of any
of The Claremont Colleges or the Claremont University
Consortium constitutes an offense against Claremont
Graduate University and may result in disciplinary action up
to and including dismissal.
Nondiscrimination Policy
Academic potential is the criterion Claremont Graduate
University has traditionally applied in selecting students.
Claremont Graduate University does not discriminate on
the basis of race, color, creed, national origin, gender, sexual
orientation, age, or disability in any of its policies, procedures, or practices, in compliance with Title VI of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964, Title IX of the Education Amendments
of 1972, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the
Age Discrimination Act of 1975, and Title II of the
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. This nondiscrimination policy covers admission and access to, and treatment
and employment in, the Graduate University’s programs
and activities. The Graduate University recognizes its obligation to provide overall program accessibility throughout
the campus for disabled persons. To request a copy of the

Policy on AIDS and Nondiscrimination
Claremont Graduate University does not discriminate against
any student, administrator, faculty, or staff who has, or is perceived to have, AIDS, AIDS-related complex (ARC), or HIV
seropositive status. A copy of the full CGU policy statement
regarding AIDS and nondiscrimination is available from the
dean of students.
Sexual Assault Policy
It is the policy of Claremont Graduate University to ensure,
to the fullest extent possible, that any student, faculty, or staff
member who is a victim of sexual assault committed on the
campus shall receive treatment, support, and information;
and to encourage victims of sexual assault to make full use of
these provisions.
CGU will not tolerate sexual assault, whether directed at
males or females, or whether committed by a stranger or an
acquaintance. CGU has an obligation to address the needs of
the sexual assault victim as well as a responsibility to protect
the other members of the campus community from potential sexual assaults. Referrals for treatment will be made and
ongoing support will be offered to victims. To protect the privacy of the victim, confidentiality regarding the name of the
victim will be maintained.
CGU will make the CGU community aware of any rapes or
other sexual assaults by strangers on campus, and will judge
the need for reporting acquaintance rapes to the community
on a case-by-case basis. The University is legally obligated to
report to the federal government the number of sexual
assaults that occur on campus each year. In the case of a
stranger rape, the location of the incident will be made
known in order to determine if the area itself is hazardous
and needs attention by the Physical Plant Department or
increased security patrols. If, for reasons of safety, the campus
community is to be notified of the occurrence of the assault,
the victim will be informed prior to such notification.
Members of the CGU community will be notified of assaults
or rapes that occur on other Claremont Colleges campuses if
the dean of students or the director of human resources
receives that information. The victim or the campus individual first notified should immediately contact the appropriate
representative listed below:

from sexual harassment, while respecting individual roles.
Every member of the CGU community should be aware that
the Graduate University is strongly opposed to sexual harassment and that such behavior is prohibited by both federal
and state law and by University policy. It is the intention of
the Graduate University to prevent, correct, and, if necessary,
discipline behavior that violates this policy. Sexual harassment is defined to mean any attempt to coerce an unwilling
person into a sexual relationship, to subject a person to
unwanted sexual attention, or to punish a refusal to comply.
All reports of sexual harassment will be promptly investigated
and, where necessary, disciplinary action will be taken against
an employee or student found guilty of sexual harassment.
Filing of a complaint must be done within six months of the
alleged occurrence.
Inquiries regarding policy or procedures and sexual harassment complaints are to be brought to the attention of the
appropriate official listed below:

Policy on Explosives, Firearms,
and Other Weapons
Possession, use, or transportation of firearms or “deadly
weapons” is prohibited on the property of Claremont
Graduate University. According to the California State Penal
Code, Section 626.9(b), any person who brings or possesses a
firearm upon the grounds of, or within, a private institution
is guilty of a felony, punishable by imprisonment in the state
prison for one, two, or three years. In addition, law prohibits
the use of firearms in Claremont, Los Angeles County, or in
the western portion of San Bernardino County.
The state law, as well as Claremont Graduate University, prohibits bringing firecrackers or explosive materials of any kind
onto any part of the campus or into the buildings. This
includes combustibles in containers such as gasoline cans.
Also, gasoline-powered scooters and motorcycles cannot be
stored in Graduate University housing.
Illegal knives, switchblades, and other blades that violate
California state laws are prohibited. BB guns, pellet rifles, and
other weapons that propel projectiles also are prohibited and
are not allowed on campus. If necessary, recreational items
may be stored at the Campus Safety office.
Violation of this policy by any member of the community will
result in confiscation of the weapon and may result in disciplinary action.
Demonstration and Response Policy
Demonstration Policy
The undergraduate Claremont Colleges, Pomona College,
Scripps College, Claremont McKenna College, Harvey Mudd
College, and Pitzer College, together with Claremont
Graduate University, Keck Graduate Institute, and Claremont
University Consortium (CUC), are all member institutions
of the “Claremont Colleges.” Each of these member institutions respects the rights of free speech and peaceable assembly and supports their exercise. However, when the exercise
of speech and assembly becomes disruptive or non-peaceable
and infringes upon the rights of others, threatens property or
public safety, or impedes the business of the member Colleges
or CUC, the individual Colleges and CUC will act according
to this policy.
Every institution in the consortium has instituted procedures
for presenting and peaceably resolving disagreements about
policies. Officials at the individual Claremont Colleges and
CUC are willing to examine, discuss, and explain institutional
policies to any member of the Claremont Colleges community. However, participation in a demonstration that is materially disruptive and non-peaceful or involves the substantial
disorder or invasion of the rights of others on the property of
any of the Claremont Colleges or of Claremont University
Consortium or their affiliated institutions is prohibited.
Determination of when a demonstration or action is nonpeaceful or disruptive may be difficult, but the Claremont
Colleges individually and collectively subscribe to the general
guidelines listed below.
Non-peaceful actions or demonstrations are those that
endanger or injure, or threaten to endanger or injure, any
person, or that damage or threaten to damage property.
Disruptive actions or demonstrations are those that restrict
free movement on any of the campuses, or interfere with, or
impede access to, regular activities or facilities of any of the
colleges or CUC.
If an officer or designee of an affected college or CUC informs
individuals in a given area that their collective actions are
judged non-peaceful or disruptive and that they should disperse, individuals remaining may be charged, on their home
campus, with a violation of this policy.
Any individual acting in a non-peaceful or disruptive manner, whether he or she is acting individually or within a
group, may be charged on the basis of the individual's or
group's behavior with a violation of this policy. Ignorance of
this policy or lack of intent to violate this policy is not an
acceptable justification for violating it. Lack of intent or lack
of awareness of the existence of College or Consortium policy will not excuse violations. Charges will be brought at the
home college of the accused.
17
Any president on his or her home campus, or designee, or the
chief executive officer of CUC, or designee, on the property
of CUC, is authorized to take action against any individual
violating this policy. Actions may include arrest, or other legal
action, or notice of disciplinary charges and will be handled
through the home college’s disciplinary procedures. The presidents and the chief executive officer of CUC may delegate
their authority to act.
Response Policy
In the event of a non-peaceful or disruptive action on the
property of any of the Claremont Colleges, CUC, or any of
their affiliated offices or programs, the affected college or colleges or Claremont University Consortium will act according
to the following procedures:
The president(s) of the College(s) where activities are disrupted or the chief executive officer of CUC, in the case of
the property of CUC, will determine whether or not negotiation will take place with those involved in the demonstration or disruption. S/he will also determine the actions to be
taken including, but not limited to, provisional or summary
suspension or arrest. The president of the college may summarily suspend a student of his/her college violating this policy. However, the president of the college or the CEO of CUC
will only have the authority to provisionally suspend a student representing one of the other Claremont Colleges—
pending referral to the home campus disciplinary body.
The Colleges and CUC agree that cases of student disruption
or non-peaceful action normally will be treated as a violation
of the student's home campus conduct code and will be adjudicated by the normal disciplinary process at the student's
home college. Appropriate officials at the affected institution(s) may put disruptive or non-peaceful individuals on
notice that they are in violation of this policy and file charges
against them. Officials at the home campus agree to acknowledge requests for disciplinary action—including requests for
suspension—and take action that is consistent with and/or
allowed by disciplinary procedures at the home campus.
Officials at the other campuses will promptly provide assistance in identifying disruptive or non-peaceful individuals to
the campus where the disruption occurs or to CUC.
All individuals who are engaged in disruptive or non-peaceful action will be notified that they are trespassing. Persons
who continue to trespass after notification are subject to
arrest (by a Peace Officer or by Private Person as defined in
California Penal Code Section 834). Individual Claremont
Colleges and CUC may bill students or file civil suits to
recover damages and costs.
While officials at affected colleges or CUC may temporarily
revoke any or all student privileges or take steps to end disruptive or non-peaceful protests, the college at which the student is enrolled, and only that college, may adjudicate complaints and make final decisions about alleged violations of
conduct, apart from those decisions made by a court of law.
Student Grievances
A grievance is defined as “a statement by a student that he/she
has been wronged by either a failure to follow, or a breach, by
Claremont Graduate University of its established policies and
practices, which includes, but is not limited to: discrimination on the basis of race, color, creed, place of national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, or disability.” A “student”
is anyone who was properly enrolled in Claremont Graduate
University at the time the perceived wrong occurred.
Complaints regarding faculty judgment of academic performance, which do not allege discrimination on any basis
listed above, are not subject to a grievance procedure.
A formal complaint must be filed by the student within six
months of the occurrence of the event deemed to be a grievance. A “complaint” is a formal statement of his/her grievance that a student files with the dean of students.
Inquiries regarding policy and procedures of the Graduate
University, policy and procedures relating to The Claremont
Colleges, and filing are to be directed to:
James Whitaker
Vice President for Student Services and Dean of Students
Harper East, (909) 621-8965
Intercampus Complaints
Complaints by a student, including alleged discrimination on
any basis, relating to an individual affiliated with one of the
other Claremont Colleges may be directed to:
James Whitaker
Vice President for Student Services and Dean of Students
Harper East, (909) 621-8965
When a Graduate University student is on the campus of
another of The Claremont Colleges, he/she is expected to
respect the regulations of that college as well as those of the
Graduate University. If a student of another of The
Claremont Colleges violates the regulations of the host college, judicial action may be brought against that student at
his/her home college. The name of the student concerned,
along with all pertinent information, will be sent to the dean
of students of the college involved.
The administration of the host college may, at its own discretion, prohibit a student from coming onto its campus until
judiciary action at the student’s home college is complete. Such
a prohibition will be communicated to the student through
his/her home college at the request of the host college.
Student Files: Privacy and Access (FERPA)
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy (FERPA) Act of
1974, also known as the Buckley Amendment, (a) establishes
a postsecondary student’s general right to inspect and review
his or her education records, and (b) generally prohibits outside parties from obtaining the information contained in
such records without the student’s written consent. The law
also provides several exceptions. For example, a student may

not examine confidential letters and statements of recommendation that were placed in the files before January 1,
1975. Also, a student may choose to waive access to certain
confidential recommendations placed in the file after that
date.
letters for all forms of federal and institutional aid, correspondence with lenders, loan-tracking documents, and information regarding awards from previous institutions. The staff
of the Financial Aid Office has access to these files in order to
process financial aid applications and advise students.
The paragraphs below delineate the procedures under which
Claremont Graduate University will meet the law’s requirements.
(6) Student Accounts Files. The Student Accounts
Department is responsible for maintaining files that contain
payment contracts, student and third-party payments,
authorizations to charge or reverse charges, correspondence
with the student and with third-party sponsors, collections
information, and bankruptcy documentation. The staff of
the Student Accounts Department, as well as members of the
University's administration, has access to these files in order
to justify all data activity and remain compliant with auditors, as well as to advise students.
Claremont Graduate University currently maintains the following types of educational records that are directly related to
its students:
(1) Office of Admission and Records Files. The registrar is
responsible for maintaining files that contain official transcripts of work performed by CGU students at other institutions, official CGU transcripts, and copies of occasional letters written by faculty and administration along with student
replies. These letters generally are about academic programs,
examinations, fellowships, etc. In addition, there are records
of students’ progress in their programs. Members of the faculty and administration have access to these files for use in
student advisement. Also, the school’s transcript clerks have
access to the files in order to maintain them and to provide
authorized data to authorized persons.
(2) Department Files. Each department chair is responsible
for maintaining files that contain essentially the same kinds of
material as the Office of Admission and Records files. These
separate files are maintained for the convenience of the departments and are used in advising students. Members of the faculty in each department and the department staff have access
to these files.
(3) Credential Files. At the request of students, the Office
of Career Management maintains files containing evaluations
from faculty and staff of Claremont Graduate University and
other institutions attended, confidential letters of recommendation written by referees for the benefit of the students,
and papers that students have prepared themselves. In addition to the director, the staff of the Office of Career
Management has access to these files to carry out the work of
the office.
(4) Admissions Files. The Admissions staff is responsible
for maintaining files that contain letters of recommendation
for admission to the University, transcripts of work performed at other institutions, scores of examinations that may
be required by various departments, and the student’s statement of purpose. All materials submitted become the property of the University. The admissions office staff and members of the admissions committees of the various departments also have access to these files for the purpose of carrying out the admissions function. After a student has been
admitted to the University and actually registered for study
here, these files are transferred to the Office of Admission and
Records.
(5) Financial Aid Files. The Financial Aid Office is responsible for maintaining files that contain applications and award
(7) Vice President for Student Services and Dean of
Students’ Files. The vice president for student services and
dean of students is responsible for maintaining files that contain background information and official documents about
alleged student misconduct, disciplinary hearings, and student grievances. Information about student misconduct,
alleged misconduct, and student grievances is considered to
be confidential and is divulged on a strict “need-to-know”
basis. The provost and vice president for academic affairs, the
vice president for student services and dean of students, and
their administrative staffs have access to the files for the purpose of conducting necessary investigation of charges,
administering disciplinary or grievance hearings, and maintaining institutional records of such hearings. A copy of the
policy regarding retention of these files is available from the
vice president for student services and dean of students.
In addition to the persons named above, the administrators
of the University—the president, provost and vice president
for academic affairs, vice president for student services and
dean of students, and vice provost—have access to all records
directly related to CGU students. Graduate University faculty
and staff, including school attorneys, may access student
records in which they have a legitimate educational interest.
Students and former students should apply to the Office of
Admission and Records if they wish to review any of their
personal files. They will be asked to complete a form specifying which records they wish to see. The Office of Admission
and Records will then collect the desired material so that the
student or a person designated by the student may examine it
in the presence of a representative of the University.
In no case will access be withheld more than 45 days after
proper request has been made. If the student wishes, the
University also will supply copies of material in the file at cost:
50 cents per page. If any material or document in the educational record of a student includes information on other students, the University will not supply the actual material or
document. Instead, the University will provide only the specific information contained therein that directly relates to the
student seeking access. In addition, no student may have
access to (a) financial records of parents or any information
19
contained therein; (b) confidential letters and statements of
recommendation that were placed in any file before January
1, 1975; or (c) any confidential recommendations to which
the student has properly waived the right of access.
After a student has reviewed the files requested, the University
will respond to any reasonable request for explanation or
interpretation of material that they contain.
A student who desires to have any material in the files altered
or expunged on the ground that such material is inaccurate
or misleading, or that it is being maintained in violation of
his or her right to privacy or other rights, may obtain a hearing before a special committee upon submitting a written
request to the dean of students. The special committee will
be composed of representatives of the student body, faculty,
and administration. At the hearing, the student will be
afforded a full and fair opportunity to present evidence relevant to the issues raised. The committee’s decision will be
made in writing within a reasonable period of time after the
conclusion of the hearing. The committee’s conclusions may
then be appealed by means of a complaint filed with the U.S.
Department of Education.
Whether or not a student requests a hearing, and regardless
of the outcome of any such hearing, the student may insert
into his or her files a personal written explanation concerning any material the student believes is inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise inappropriate.
The privacy of student files is and will always be scrupulously
safeguarded. Claremont Graduate University will make public without student consent only certain “directory information.” This information consists of a student’s name, e-mail
address, major, field(s) of study, dates of attendance, and
degrees or awards received. A student who prefers that such
“directory information” not be made public must notify the
Office of Admission and Records in writing prior to the last
day to add courses for the semester. The request for nondisclosure remains in effect until rescinded by the student.
Except for “directory information” and except for certain parties listed in the act, the University will not release to outside
parties any student’s files or information contained in such
files unless prior written consent has been obtained from the
student concerned. The outside parties excepted by the act
generally consist of certain federal and state officials, accrediting organizations, and educational agencies who need the
information for valid educational purposes. Also, the
University is authorized to release information contained in
student files in any emergency situation where the information is needed to protect the health or safety of the student
or other persons.
A student (or applicant for admission) is permitted to waive
access to confidential recommendations written on his or her
behalf respecting (1) admission to any educational agency or
institution; (2) an application for employment; or (3) the
receipt of an honor or honorary recognition. In some cases,
it may be in a student’s best interest to so waive the right
because waiver may cause the recipient of a recommendation
to feel it is more “honest” and hence more valid in its statements about the student. Any student who wishes to waive
access to recommendations may do so on a form available
from the Office of Admission and Records. On the form, the
student also may ask to be notified of the names of all persons making confidential recommendations. In no case will
waiver be required as a condition for admission to, receipt of
financial aid from, or receipt of any other services or benefits
from the University. Also, waivers will be void as to any recommendations used for purposes other than those for which
they were specifically intended. The foregoing applies only to
recommendations placed in files after January 1, 1975. As
stated previously, both confidential letters and statements of
recommendation, which were placed in the files before January
1, 1975, are not subject to student access. The Office of Career
Management can supply detailed information to students who
are concerned about their academic credential files.
A student who consents to release to outside parties any part
of his or her file must do so in writing, personally signed and
dated (e-mail will not be accepted). Such writing must specify the records to be released, the reasons for such release, and
the names of the parties to whom such records may be
released. A form for this purpose is available in the Office of
Admission and Records. A student whose consent is required
also may request a personal copy of the specific records in
question.
The University maintains a record of all outside parties who
have requested or obtained access to a student’s education
records, and their specific interest in obtaining such access.
This record of access will be available only to the student and
to the previously named Graduate University officials who
are responsible for maintaining the various files.
The University reserves the right to remove and destroy any
material from any student’s files, except when a student has
properly requested access to the files and has not yet been
granted admission.
Academic Honesty
The ideal of academic honesty is crucial to the integrity of a
college or university; conversely, academic dishonesty undermines the very basis upon which institutions of higher education are organized and function. All students at Claremont
Graduate University are expected to meet the highest standards of honesty in the performance of their academic work.
Toward that end, Standards of Academic Honesty and procedures to enforce these standards fairly are hereby adopted.
Standards of Academic Honesty
The Standards of Academic Honesty proscribe (but are not
limited to) the giving or receiving of unauthorized help in
examinations or other assignments, plagiarism and other
unacknowledged or undocumented use of source material,
and forgery.
POLICIES
CLAREMONT
G R A D U AT E
UNIVERSITY

Violations of Standards
A student shall be subject to discipline for any violation of
the Standards of Academic Honesty.
serious, the faculty member will refer the matter to the CAH,
normally within two weeks, giving reasons for the faculty
member's belief that a violation has occurred. In that report,
the faculty member may recommend a penalty.
Disciplinary Sanctions
Sanctions available would be those appropriate to the violations and will include, but not be limited to, any one of the
following: an official reprimand; a requirement to repeat an
assignment, an examination, or a course; a requirement to
complete an alternative assignment or examination; a failing
grade for an assignment, an examination, or a course; suspension; or expulsion from the Graduate University.
(2) If a faculty member refers an alleged violation to the CAH,
or if a student dissatisfied with the penalty imposed by a faculty member for an alleged minor violation appeals to the
CAH, the CAH will promptly inform the student and the faculty member in writing, and will consult with them as to the
necessity for or desirability of a hearing. If a hearing results
from this consultation, the CAH will schedule one as soon as
possible, normally within two weeks.
Committee on Academic Honesty (CAH)
A Committee on Academic Honesty (CAH) is established. Its
primary purposes shall be, in accordance with the procedures
outlined below, to receive and evaluate evidence of alleged
violations of the Standards of Academic Honesty and to make
recommendations for the disposition of cases involving
alleged violations. The Committee shall also make recommendations to the provost of the Graduate University (hereafter, the provost) and to the faculty of the Graduate
University for changes in standards and procedures, as it
deems appropriate, and shall report annually to the faculty
of the Graduate University.
The Faculty Grievance Committee is charged with the
responsibility of carrying out the duties of the Committee on
Academic Honesty. In order to fulfill these duties and responsibilities, the Grievance Committee must, at the beginning of
each academic year, identify two of its members who will
serve, along with two graduate students recommended by the
Graduate Student Council and a designated representative of
the administration, as the Committee on Academic Honesty.
If the Graduate Student Council fails to make a recommendation within a reasonable time, the provost will appoint students to the CAH.
Procedures
A faculty member who believes that a student has violated one
or more of the Standards of Academic Honesty will promptly
so inform the student and present the student with the reasons
for this belief.
If, after learning the student's response, the faculty member
continues to believe that a violation has occurred, the faculty
member shall proceed in one of two ways:
(1) If the faculty member deems the alleged violation to be
minor, the faculty member may attempt to resolve the matter
in a manner satisfactory to both the faculty member and the
student. If the matter is so resolved, the faculty member shall
report the matter and its resolution to the provost. If the student is not satisfied with the faculty member's proposed disposition of the allegedly minor violation, the student may independently appeal the issue to the CAH.
If the faculty member deems the alleged violation to be more
Following the hearing, or in the absence of one, the CAH will
promptly decide whether the alleged violation has or has not
occurred and will submit a written report of its findings to the
provost, normally within two weeks. If it decides that a violation has occurred, the CAH will include in its report its recommendation of a penalty that it considers appropriate. This
penalty may be the one recommended by the faculty member
or some other penalty in conformity with disciplinary sanctions. The CAH will also transmit the relevant files to the
Provost.
The provost will then review the case and decide whether to
accept or reject the recommendation of the CAH, to modify it,
or to remand the case to the CAH for further determinations.
The provost will advise the student, the faculty member, and
the CAH in writing of the action taken, normally within two
weeks of receiving the case.
If the provost decides to impose a penalty (of whatever kind),
the student, within a reasonable time, may appeal this decision
to the president.
If the student appeals, the provost will promptly transmit the
relevant file and the recommendation to the president. The
president may concur in the decision of the provost, may
choose to modify the decision, may dismiss the case, or may
decided to remand the case to the CAH for further determinations. In all actions by the president but the last, the case will
be considered closed.
General Requirements for Satisfactory
Academic Progress (SAP)
All students are expected to maintain a minimum grade point
average of 3.000 in all coursework taken at Claremont Graduate
University with no more than two incomplete courses at any
time. In addition, doctoral students must show satisfactory
progress in research and examinations as judged by the faculty
in their academic program, and must make timely progress
toward the degree as defined in the university’s “time requirements/time limit” policy as described in The Bulletin.
Failure to maintain the applicable minimum standard (3.000)
may result in the student being placed on academic probation for the following semester by the faculty in their academic program. Students placed on probation who have not
I N F O R M AT I O N
FOR
21
met the minimum standard by the end of the next semester
are subject to dismissal from the university by the faculty in
their academic program. Individual academic programs may
require a higher grade point average and/or additional standards of progress. See academic sections of The Bulletin.
Degree Revocation
If evidence arises that an academic degree was earned in violation of the Standards of Academic Honesty, a faculty member may recommend to the provost that the degree be
revoked. The provost may then refer the matter to the CAH
for its recommendation. If the CAH, after an appropriate
hearing, recommends to the provost that the degree be
revoked, the provost will forward his or her own recommendation to the Graduate University faculty, then to the president who, in turn, will forward his or her own recommendation to the Board of Fellows. The Board will have final
authority in decisions regarding revocation of a degree.
Property Loss
The University does not assume responsibility for loss or
damage to students’ personal property. Students should
examine their own insurance policies and determine whether
they cover the student’s belongings in Claremont.

profit from the particular type of program available in a given
subject area. Academic departments and schools vary somewhat in their criteria. Prospective students are encouraged to
ask about the specific admission standards of a given academic department. In keeping with the philosophy of
Claremont Graduate University, the admission decision is
individualized and based on a wide range of information
about the applicant, rather than on rigid, preselected criteria.
Evaluation of an applicant’s ability to pursue graduate study
is based on several kinds of evidence:
• undergraduate record, particularly in the field chosen for
graduate work.
• academic and professional references.
• scores on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) or the
Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) and the
Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), as
required.
• practical experience in the proposed field, as relevant.
• if an applicant has completed graduate work at another
institution, the record of that work will be considered.
The University grants admission on the basis of faculty
review and recommendation.

the applicant with all other supporting documents. Reference
forms (@) and envelopes are provided in the paper-based application packet and reference forms are available for download
on the CGU website www.cgu.edu/admissions.
Reference writers should seal the reference letter in an envelope,
sign their names over the sealed envelope flap, and return the
letter to the applicant. The reference writer’s signature will help
ensure confidentiality of the document.
Most academic departments request references from individuals acquainted with the applicant’s academic ability. References
from employers may be desirable or required in some professionally-related programs. Applicants are encouraged to provide specific information to their reference writers, which will
aid in strengthening the reference. For information regarding
the University’s policy on the confidentiality of references, see

• Official scores from The University of Cambridge’s
International English Language Testing System (IELTS) may
be submitted in lieu of the TOEFL score. To be considered
for admission, applicants are required to achieve an IELTS
score of 6.0-6.5 or higher.
• TOEFL and IELTS scores more than two years old will not
be considered by CGU to meet the requirement.
Admitted students whose score on the TOEFL is at or below 250
(CBT) or whose score on the IELTS is at or below 6.0. are
required to take Global Communications, a non-credit English
course, during their first semester. See below.
Global Communications Course (GCC)
This course gives intensive instruction in American English academic discourse to strengthen international students’ ability to
succeed in graduate-level courses. Students will have weekly
tutoring sessions with graduate students to work on individual
needs. Please visit the Student Accounts website at
www.cgu.edu/studentaccounts for specific enrollment fees for
this course.
Medical Requirements
All international students are required to complete a Medical
History Form (@) and have a tuberculin skin test. If the skin
test is positive, they will be required to have a chest X-ray.
Medical clearance is required of all international students before
registration.
Baxter Medical Center on campus provides health services to
all Claremont Colleges students. International students who
wish to use Baxter’s services will be required to complete a
Medical History Form (@) at the center. Baxter’s services
include an inexpensive immunization program (including
tetanus, measles, mumps, and rubella) and a tuberculin skin
test. New students are encouraged to visit the center for immunization as soon after their arrival as possible.
Classification of Admission
Each student admitted by the University is classified in one of
the following categories:
Full Graduate Admission. Full graduate admission status may
be awarded to applicants who are admitted without reservation
and whose application document requirements are satisfied.
Only students who have full graduate standing may become
candidates for a degree.
Provisional Admission. Provisional admission may be
awarded to applicants whose application documents are incomplete at the time admission decisions are made. The documents
on file at the time of an admission decision must be strong
enough to warrant provisional admission pending receipt of the
outstanding credentials. Students who do not submit the necessary credentials by the end of the first semester of study will
not be permitted to register for the following semester. As soon
as all admission requirements have been met, the graduate faculty serving the department will review the student’s file. The
faculty may then recommend that the student be moved to full
graduate standing.
Conditional Admission. Conditional admission may be
awarded to an applicant whose academic record shows certain
deficiencies or who lacks certain prerequisites. The student must
demonstrate ability to do graduate work at a high level of
achievement at CGU before being considered for full graduate
standing. After completing the conditions specified by the faculty (typically, a minimum of eight units of graduate work or,
in the case of a full-time student, the first semester of work), the
record of a student with conditional standing will be reviewed
by the graduate faculty serving the department. The faculty may
then recommend full graduate standing, determine that the student should remain on conditional standing until specified
requirements have been met, or terminate the student from the
program.
Contingent Admission. Contingent admission may be offered
to an applicant who is required to complete particular prerequisites prior to enrolling at CGU. An example might be providing a passing CBEST score (for Teacher Education applicants) or completing a particular course prior to enrolling at
CGU. Upon completion of the contingency, the student should
provide evidence to the academic department that the requirement was met.
Application Information Accuracy
Applicants are required to sign a statement at the end of the
application certifying the accuracy of the submitted information. Any misrepresentation may be cause for denial of admission. If misrepresentation is discovered after admission, dismissal from CGU and revoking of any degree granted may
result.

Deferrals
Deferred Application. If maximum enrollment has been
reached, an academic department may offer an applicant the
option to be considered for admission to a later semester than
the one to which they originally applied.
Applicants also have the option to defer their application to be
considered for a semester later than the one to which they originally applied. Applicants can contact the Office of Admission
and Records to pursue this option.
Deferred Admission. If maximum enrollment has been
reached, an academic department may offer an admitted student the option to enroll in a later semester than the one to
which they originally requested.
Students who are unable to attend in the semester to which they
were admitted may contact the Office of Admission and
Records and request a deferral. Admission is not guaranteed
with a deferred application, even if the applicant was previously
admitted.
SPECIAL PROGAMS
Alumni. CGU graduates are eligible to take CGU courses for
personal enrichment at a 50% discounted rate. Courses taken
at the alumni discount may not be applied towards a degree. To
register for classes, please fill out an Alumni Registration Form
(@), which can be found on the Alumni website at
www.alumni.cgu.edu.
Audit*. A student who is not enrolled in a degree program but
wishes to audit one or more courses (no credit will be given for
courses) must submit an admissions application, application
fee, and official bachelor’s degree transcripts. The approval of
the dean as well as the approval of the instructor(s) of the
course(s) concerned is required for study in this category.
Please note that this students in this category do not satisfy
SEVIS requirements so international students in F-1 and J-1
Visa categories are not eligible to audit courses unless they are
also enrolled in a degree program.
Certificate*. Various schools at CGU offer certificate programs.
To be admitted to a certificate program, applicants will be
required to submit a complete application packet, with the exception of test scores. See the previous section on “Application
Components” for details. Certificate students wishing to subsequently apply to a degree program at CGU will need to submit
any outstanding application components if any were missing at
the time the student began the certificate program. The faculty
may request supplemental documentation when a certificate student is being considered for admission into a degree program.
Special Standing*. Applicants who wish to attend CGU as a
non-degree student may be admitted as a special standing student. Special standing applicants must submit an application, an
application fee, and official bachelor’s degree transcripts. Special
standing students who later decide to apply for a degree or credential program must supply additional application components to be evaluated for admission. Admission to special standing is limited to one academic year / 12 units of study. Approval
by the provost is required for further study in this category.
Please note that special standing does not satisfy SEVIS requirements, so international students in F-1 and J-1 Visa categories
are not eligible for a Special Standing admission.
Visiting Summer Student*. During the summer semester,
interested individuals may take courses at CGU without the
need to obtain admission to the university. To do so, please fill
out a Visiting Student Registration Form (@), which is available from the Office of Admission and Records. Please note that
participating in CGU’s summer semester as a visiting student
does not constitute admission to CGU. Visiting students who
wish to enter a degree program should submit a complete application packet to the Office of Admission and Records for evaluation by the academic program of interest.
*Participation as a CGU Audit Student, Certificate Student,
Special Standing Student, or Visiting Student does not constitute
admission to a degree program at CGU. Students registered as such
who wish to seek admission to a degree program must submit a
complete application packet to the Office of Admission and
Records.

Explanation of Basic Tuition and Fees
Claremont Graduate University reserves the right to change
tuition and other fees at any time. New and returning students are required to pay the tuition in force in a given semester. All charges must be paid in full for completed terms before
the student is permitted to register, receive their diploma, or
receive official and/or unofficial transcripts.
Institutional Services Fee. This fee is required of all students, except those in executive management, and helps offset
a small portion of the operating costs from the various
nonacademic student services provided by the University.
This fee is nonrefundable.
Doctoral Study Fee. A doctoral student who is not enrolled
in a credit course or dissertation research must register for
doctoral study until all requirements for the degree are completed, including submission of the approved dissertation to
the Office of Admission and Records and payment of microfilming and binding fees. This applies equally to students not
in residence.
Auditor’s Fee. Auditing of courses with the permission of
the instructor is available to qualified persons at a fee of $780
per 4-unit course or $390 per 2-unit course. Students enrolled
in at least 12 units in the same semester may take up to 4 audit
units at no extra charge. However, art students must be
enrolled in at least 15 units in the same semester to take up to
4 audit units at no extra charge. There are no executive management courses offered for audit.
Alumni. Alumni may register for courses with faculty
approval. The alumnus/na must have been granted a
Claremont Graduate University degree. This policy does not
apply to those who have previously attended the University, but
did not receive a degree nor does it apply to current graduates
working toward an additional degree. The tuition cost associated with the course(s) taken as an alumnus/na is 50% of the
regular per unit (no tuition discount for 12 units or more)
tuition rate and 100% of the institutional services fee. The cost
is not associated with the department in which the course is
offered or the discipline from which the alumnus/na graduated.

Explanation of Other Fees
Admissions Acceptance Deposit. Students accepting
CGU’s offer of admission must pay a $200 ($400 for Drucker
School) nonrefundable deposit, which is credited to their student account and applied toward tuition.
Binding/Microfilming Fees. All binding and microfilming
fees must be paid to the Office of Admission and Records before
the deadlines for completion of degrees listed in the academic
calendar.
Returned Check Fee. In those cases where one check is used
to pay the tuition and fees of more than one student, this fee will
be charged to each student account if the check is returned for
any reason.
Student Accounts
The CGU Student Accounts Office handles payments, the distribution of tuition bills, refund checks, and other support services
related to a student’s account. We offer two plans for payment of
tuition and fees. One option is to pay in full at the onset of each
term. The other option is to enroll in the monthly payment plan
through Academic Management Services (AMS). Payments can
be in the form of a cashier’s check, money order, personal or corporate check, cash (although not acceptable through the mail),
or wire transfer. Credit card payments may be made with AMS
(Visa, MasterCard, and Discover) or Net-Pay (MasterCard).
There is a convenience fee for credit card payments.
To ensure that students receive updated information on a regular basis regarding their account, we send invoices during the
first week of each month to those students who had activity
posted to the account in the past 30 days or who have an outstanding balance. Invoice data is a compilation of many different departments that utilize the student’s account as a way of
charging or reimbursing a student. Tuition charges are assessed
at the beginning of each semester regardless of the start date of
the course (i.e. module courses). Students are responsible for
the balance due on each monthly invoice. Any anticipated
adjustment to a student’s account that is not reflected on the current invoice is not considered until the change is actually noted
on the account. All payments must be received by close of business in the Student Accounts Office by the due date noted on the
invoice or a Late Payment Fee will be assessed. If a due date falls
on a weekend or holiday, the payment is due the following business day. Students who disagree with a Late Payment Fee charge
that was assessed to their account may appeal the charge in writing to the Student Accounts Office within 30 calendar days of
the original charge by submitting a Financial Policy Exception
Request Form. (@)
Monthly Payment Plan
Claremont Graduate University offers a monthly payment plan
through Academic Management Services (AMS). Students may
enroll each term on-line at www.TuitionPay.com/CGU. AMS
accepts credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, and Discover), checks,
and money orders. Students may also make payments to AMS
via electronic withdrawals from personal bank accounts. For
additional information, please contact an AMS TuitionPay
Consultant at (800) 635-0120.
Delinquent Accounts
When a payment is not received by close of business in the
Student Accounts Office by the designated due date, the account
is considered delinquent. An account that becomes delinquent
is subject to a monthly $60 penalty fee and a student’s registration may be cancelled until such time as the amount due and the
penalty fee(s) are paid. No allowance is made for financial aid
applications in process. In addition, loan disbursements for a
future award year cannot be used to reduce a student account
balance in a current award year.
Students whose accounts are not considered current are not eligible to register or to receive transcripts, grades, credential recommendations, or career services. Accounts must be paid in full
before students will receive their diplomas. This applies equally
to students who fail to repay, on or before established dates, loans
granted or guaranteed by or through Claremont Graduate
University or to pay fees such as those incurred for graduate housing, student health services, campus security, library fines, etc.
Library Fines. Past-due library fines will be charged to the student’s account. These library fines must be paid in full before
the student will be able to continue checking out books. If the
student returns the overdue book(s) to the library, the replacement cost of each book will be waived. However, the student
will still be responsible for a nominal maintenance fee per book.
Company Reimbursement and Third-Party Sponsors
Students who receive complete or partial tuition support from
their employer or third-party sponsor must complete and submit a Company / Sponsor Deferred Payment Plan Form (@)
to the Student Accounts Office as proof of their participation in
a tuition support benefit plan. The form must be submitted at
the time the student registers. With this form, the student may
defer payment for up to 120 days from the last day of the semester at no additional cost. After that point in time, late payment
fees will accrue on the student account until payment is received.
The amount deferred is the anticipated payment that will be
made by the company or third-party sponsor and may only be
deferred if the company or sponsor requires the submission of
grades before payment is made to either the student or
Claremont Graduate University. If the tuition support is less
than 100%, the student can either submit payment for their personal contribution before the beginning of the semester or may
enroll in the payment plan and pay in installments.
While individual students bear the ultimate responsibility for
payment on their account, they may register for the current

semester by paying or arranging payment for the portion of their
registration costs not covered by an employer or sponsor. Should
a student receive a grade of Incomplete, and, thus, not qualify
for company reimbursement, the deferred tuition and fees for
this course are still due within the 120-day time frame. No payment extensions will be made beyond the 120 days.
In the event that a student’s company/sponsor defaults on their
obligation to make payment on behalf of a student, the student
will be removed from the deferred payment plan and payment
will be due immediately. The Student Accounts Office sends a
tuition bill monthly to the student. However, an additional
tuition bill can also be sent to the student’s company or sponsor
if a request is made in writing by the student. This request must
be made each semester the student would like an additional
invoice sent to their company/sponsor.
Refunds
The Claremont Graduate University policy for refunding
tuition for dropped courses is as follows:
Full-Semester Courses:
Before the end of the second week of classes
100% refund
After the second week, before the end
of the fourth week of classes
75% refund
After the fourth week, before the end
of the sixth week of classes
50% refund
After the sixth week of classes
No refund
Module Courses:
Before the end of the first week of classes
100% refund
After the first week, before the end
of the second week of classes
75% refund
After the second week, before the end
of the third week of classes
50% refund
After the third week of classes
No refund
A $120 change fee is in effect for changes to registration (adds
/ drops) after the second week of classes for full-semester
courses and after the first week of classes for half-semester
courses. This fee will be assessed for each Change in
Registration Form (@) submitted after these deadlines.
Refunds are calculated based on the date on which a completed Change in Registration Form (@) is entered into the
database by the student’s academic department. Refunds are
made on tuition only. Fees are nonrefundable. In cases where
a third party has paid an account on behalf of a student, the
refund will be made directly to the third party. However, if
the third party provides written authorization to the Student
Accounts Office allowing the excess funds to be disbursed to
the student, the refund check will be given to the student after
the initial add/drop period is completed.
Financial aid funds are refunded in accordance with the
tuition reduction and federal policies. In certain cases, federal refund requirements may supersede the institutional
refund policy. Recent changes in the federal student aid
refund policy require that a schedule be used to determine
how much federal financial aid the student has earned at the
time of withdrawal when a student withdraws on or before
the 60% point in a period of enrollment. In general, the
University must calculate the amount of federal financial aid
the student did not earn and return those funds to the appropriate federal aid program. After the 60% point in the period
of enrollment, no refund is applicable. Since the federal
refund policy does not correspond to the institutional policy,
it is recommended that students see a counselor in the Office
of Student Financing before initiating the withdrawal process
in order to determine any potential liability owed by the student to the University.
The Student Accounts Department submits requests for
refund checks each week. Refunds are only processed for
accounts that have an actual (posted transactions) credit. We
are unable to issue refund advances to students who have en
account that reflects an anticipated forthcoming payment
(e.g., company reimbursements, estimated loans, etc.)
Refunds take approximately 10 business days to process.
Checks are mailed directly to the student’s or third party
sponsor’s current address unless the Student Accounts
Department is notified in writing prior to the check request
being processed that the recipient of the refund wants to pick
up the check.

FINANCIAL AID
Professionals trained to help students obtain financial aid
from federal, state, and private funding sources staff the
Office of Student Financing at CGU. Because financial aid
guidelines and programs change frequently, students should
maintain regular contact with their financial aid administrator, and read the e-mails and mailings that are sent to them.
To be considered for all sources of federal aid (including the
Federal Stafford Loan, the Federal Perkins Loan, and Federal
Work Study), all students must complete the Free
Application For Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form (@).
Applicants do not need to wait until they are admitted to
begin applying. The deadline for priority consideration of
federal funds is February 1. Early application is strongly recommended. Applicants can apply via the web by visiting
www.fafsa.ed.gov. CGU’s federal code is G01169.
More information on financial aid can be found on the CGU
website www.cgu.edu/studentfinance.

Federal Stafford Loan
Federal Stafford Loans are low-interest loans available to eligible borrowers to assist with costs related to their education
and are insured by the federal government. There are two
types of Federal Stafford Loans available: subsidized and
unsubsidized. The combined annual maximum is $18,500, of
which the federal government will subsidize up to $8,500 per
year for students who demonstrate sufficient financial need.
An origination fee of 3% is deducted and a guarantee fee of
1% may be deducted from the loan proceeds prior to disbursement. The interest rate is variable, not to exceed 8.25%.
The minimum monthly payment is $50, but may be higher
depending on the amount borrowed.
Federal Perkins Loan
The Federal Perkins Loan is a low-interest loan awarded to
students with exceptional financial need. Awards for the
2005-2006 academic year were $3,000. The current interest
rate is fixed at 5%. Repayment begins nine months after the
borrower drops below half-time enrollment or graduates. The
minimum quarterly payment is $120, but may be higher
depending on the amount borrowed.
Federal Work Study
This need-based program is designed to provide jobs to help
students with educational expenses. Hourly pay rates vary
depending on the individual employer and the type of work
performed. A determination of eligibility for federal work
study does not guarantee a job, but rather it qualifies a student
to interview for available positions both on and off-campus.
Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)
Federal regulations require institutions of higher education
to establish minimum standards of satisfactory progress for
recipients of financial aid. These standards must equal or
exceed the academic standards for students not receiving federal financial aid. In keeping with these regulations, CGU has
established the following policy governing satisfactory
progress. Programs governed by the progress requirements
are: Federal Stafford Loans (subsidized and unsubsidized),
Federal Work Study, Federal Perkins Loan, State Aid, and any
other aid programs requiring a progress standard. (see chart
above).
Treatment Of Incompletes
For both doctoral and master’s programs there may be up to
two incompletes (permanent incompletes “PI” or incomplete
“I”) on a student’s transcript at one time. If a student receives
three or more incompletes on his/her transcript, the student
will be considered to be making unsatisfactory progress and
will be placed on financial aid probation. This requirement
is waived only for those students with incompletes in Master’s
Critique, Master’s Thesis, or Dissertation Research.
Financial Aid Probation
If the student does not meet the minimum standards for
G.P.A.or does not complete the minimum number of units
for which he/she has been funded (including too many
incompletes), the student will be placed on financial aid probation for one year. All deficiencies must be cleared and current progress standards must be met during the financial aid
probation period.
Financial Aid Suspension
If the student continues to be deficient after the financial aid
probation period, he/she will be placed on financial aid suspension until all deficiencies are cleared.

Financial Aid Disqualification
If the student has exceeded the maximum time limit, he/she
will be disqualified from receiving federal and state aid.
Withdrawals And Leaves
Semesters in which the student withdraws from CGU prior to
receiving financial aid will not count toward the maximum
time limits noted above. Similarly, all leaves of absence will
not count toward the maximum time limit. However,
research leaves are intended to assist students in making
progress toward their degrees and are therefore counted
toward the maximum time limit.
Appeal Procedures
Students may appeal ineligibility for financial aid due to
unsatisfactory progress by indicating in writing the reasons
why the minimum academic requirements were not met and
why aid should not be suspended. The guidelines for appeals
are available in the Office of Student Financing. The appeal
will be reviewed and the student will be notified whether an
exception to the policy has been approved. The student’s past
academic record and any mitigating circumstances that might
have prevented you from meeting the minimum academic
requirements will be considered.
Alternative Loans
Applications for private, credit-based, educational loans are
available in the Office of Student Financing. Interest rates
vary, and are normally tied to one of the market indicators,
plus additional points. Guarantee fees and terms of repayment also vary depending upon credit rating. More information on these loans can be found on the CGU website
www.cgu.edu/studentfinance.
Fellowship / Institutional Aid
CGU awards fellowship aid on the basis of merit and the recommendation of the departmental faculty to support distinguished students in their degree programs. The University
may also consider other factors in addition to merit in awarding aid. Most frequently, institutional support is granted in
the form of a tuition fellowship, although some stipends and
assistantships are awarded. Money for fellowships comes
from the general fund of the institution, the generosity of private donors, foundations and corporations (see appendix),
and from endowment income. For more information on fellowships, please contact the program in which you are seeking your degree.
Additional funds are available for awards to outstanding
minority students in each program. Recommended by individual programs, the awards are matched by funds from each
department. For more information on minority awards, please
contact the program in which you are seeking your degree.
A limited number of merit fellowships are awarded to outstanding students in each of the Ph.D. granting programs and
include full tuition plus a stipend. Most awards are for partial
tuition fellowships and are very competitive. There is the possibility of renewal of fellowships on a competitive basis, contingent upon availability of funds and academic performance.
February 1 is the priority deadline for completed applications for all fellowship awards for both new and continuing
students. January 15 is the deadline for the School of
Behavioral and Organizational Sciences applicants. New students desiring fellowships should complete the appropriate
form in the admissions application packet.
Preference is given to students with full graduate standing.
Students with conditional standing are ineligible.
Continuing students desiring fellowship aid must complete
an application that is available from the department office
governing the student’s major field of study.
Teaching and Research Assistantships. These non-need
based awards are compensation for specific services and are
generally allocated by the various fields to advanced students.
Assistants may be placed at CGU or at one of the other
Claremont Colleges or affiliated institutions. Assistantships
may be available in all fields of study, and the amounts of
awards vary. Workloads are normally between eight and 15
hours per week. Full-time assistants may not engage in other
activity for pay (except Federal Work Study), but may accept
fellowship awards. The application procedure, deadline, and
announcement date are the same as for the CGU fellowships.
Traineeships. Traineeships are connected to research and are
open to new as well as advanced students. Students in botany

Registration
and Degree
Information
The policies and procedures in this Bulletin were accurate at the
time of printing, but, new policies and procedures may be
approved and implemented prior to the next publication of this
document. Students beginning a degree program are expected
to meet the requirements in force in the year in which they enter
a program. Students are expected to make satisfactory progress
(see page 20) toward the degree, as determined by the university policy and as determined by their respective programs.
For every instance in which you are required to complete a
form, you will see the following symbol (@), which indicates
that the form is available on the CGU website.
Enrollment and Registration
Course schedules for each semester are published on the web at
www.cgu.edu/register shortly after midterm of the preceding
semester. Continuing students register for courses through their
academic department for the upcoming semester during the
dates noted in the academic calendar. All tuition and fees must
be paid or payment arrangements made prior to the start of the
term. New students register through their academic departments
prior to the beginning of their first semester of coursework.
Registration Deadlines
There are specified registration deadlines for each semester. All
students are responsible for fulfilling any obligations and clearing any hold(s) on their account so that they may register by the
deadlines. Students who do not meet the registration deadline(s)
will incur a late registration fee.
Continuous Enrollment
Students must be enrolled continually for the fall and spring
semesters (summer is an optional semester for enrollment). Fulltime status is equivalent to at least 8 units of study in a given
semester and up to 16 units depending upon specific academic
program requirements. Students who have completed their
degree requirements and are enrolled in Continuous
Registration or Doctoral Study are considered as full-time students. Details about Continuous Registration and Doctoral
Study are described later in this section of The Bulletin.
Auditing a Course
Students may audit courses with the permission of the instructor at a fee of $780 per 4-unit course or $390 per 2-unit course.
Students enrolled in at least 12 units in the same semester may
take up to 4 audit units at no extra charge. However, art students
must be enrolled in at least 15 units in the same semester to take
up to 4 audit units at no extra charge. There are no executive
management courses offered for audit. If a continuing student
wants to audit a class(es) and will not be enrolled in unit-earning classes, the student must be enrolled in Continuous
Registration or Doctoral Study.
Course Changes (Add / Drop)
Students wishing to add or drop a course, including tutorials,
seminars, and research, after registration must obtain a Change
In Registration (Add / Drop) Request Form (@) (available on
the web at www.cgu.edu/register) and must secure the signature of the instructor(s) involved and/or academic advisor. The
form must be submitted to the academic department for processing. Changes must be processed within the semester in which
they occur and by the deadline dates shown in the academic calendar. Any changes made past the deadline dates will incur a fee.
Students are responsible for additional tuition charges that may
result from adding courses. If dropped courses result in lower
tuition charges, refunds will be made in accordance with the
University’s refund policy (available in the “Expenses and
Financial Aid” section of this Bulletin and at www.cgu.edu/studentaccounts). Students are advised to consider the effect
adding or dropping units may have on financial aid eligibility or
immigration status and to consult with the appropriate university administrators prior to submitting a Change In Registration
Request Form (@).
Program Changes
Any change of degree, program, field, or concentration must be
approved by the student’s faculty advisor and dean of the school
using the appropriate Change of Degree or Field Form (@).
Approved changes become effective in the semester following
the date that the form was submitted and approval was given.
Term-Based Transactions
Term-based transactions include all activities that affect the student’s record and account within a given semester. Therefore, all
registrations, changes to registration, payment and/or payment
arrangements must be made prior to the end of the term/semester in which a student is taking a class. No changes will be made
after the last day of the term/semester.
For International Students
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (US CIS hereafter)
requires all international students on a J-1 or F-1 visa to be
enrolled full time (8 units minimum) both fall and spring semesters. International students should consult the international student coordinator before making any changes.
Additionally, F-1 and J-1 international students enrolled at CGU
are responsible to adhere to the requirements stated by the US
CIS regarding SEVIS. For specific requirements and documentation, students should see the CGU website www.cgu.edu/international.
Withdrawal From Courses
Circumstances may arise wherein a student may not be able to
complete a given semester. The student may need to withdraw
from all courses or research for one semester. Students withdrawing from all courses, tutorials, seminars, or research during
R E G I S T R AT I O N
AND DEGREE
33
a given semester should note that they must pay the continuous
registration fee (master’s students) or doctoral study fee (doctoral students), whichever is appropriate, for that semester, and
must maintain continuous registration if they intend to complete degree requirements later. Unless a leave of absence is
granted, students who withdraw from one or more courses will
receive no tuition refund and will be assessed a late change fee.
Students who withdraw from a course after the published last
day to drop will receive a notation of “W”on their transcript for
the course.
Leaves of Absence
The Vice President for Student Services and Dean of Students of
the University grants leaves of absence for military service, family leave, medical disability, or financial hardship. Students must
submit a Leave of Absence Request Form (@) and it must be
accompanied by supporting documents. Leaves of absence are
granted for one semester and are not automatically renewed.
During such leaves, students are exempt from paying doctoral
study or continuous registration fees, but retain access to the
library and its facilities.
Medical disability, military service, and family and financial
hardship leaves extend the time limit for completion of degree
requirements by the period for which the leave was granted.
Research Leave of Absence
In exceptional circumstances, permission for leaves of absence
of up to one year for full-time research or other activities directly
related to the student’s academic program may be approved.
Research leaves are processed by the vice president for student
services and dean of students and granted by the provost and
vice president for academic affairs based upon recommendations from the student’s major advisor and dean of the school.
During such leaves, the student is exempt from paying the doctoral study or continuous registration fees. Research leaves do
not affect the time limit for completion of all degree requirements.
Involuntary Medical Leave of Absence
It is the policy of Claremont Graduate University that if any student, because of an apparent medical or psychological condition, poses a threat to the physical well-being of him/herself or
any other member of the University or Claremont Colleges community, or a threat of serious destruction of property, such student may be placed on an involuntary medical leave of absence.
This policy applies to medical and psychological problems only,
and not to matters solely of a disciplinary nature. A copy of the
procedures for implementation of this policy may be obtained
from the dean of students.
Withdrawal from CGU
Students will be withdrawn from CGU if: they do not register
by the end of the first two weeks of a given semester or if they formally request (in writing) to be withdrawn. Withdrawal from
CGU will be noted on the student’s transcript.
Any student working with the faculty to fulfill degree requirements must be a registered student.
Reinstatement
Students who have withdrawn from their graduate programs for
one full semester or exceeded institutional time
requirements/limits (time requirements/limits are described
later in this section of The Bulletin), and who have not been terminated for academic or disciplinary reasons, may request reinstatement to CGU. Former students may request reinstatement
only to their previous academic program and degree type. A
Request For Reinstatement Form (@) must be submitted to
the appropriate faculty chair or dean, and should be accompanied by a plausible timetable for completing all remaining degree
requirements. (This form is available at www.cgu.edu.registrar.)
Reinstatements are recommended by the faculty, approved by
the dean of the school, and processed by the Office of Admission
and Records. Upon approval, the student may be required to
repeat or augment portions of prior work. Any prior financial
obligation to CGU must be cleared before reinstatement will be
granted.
A nonrefundable reinstatement fee is required (see
www.cgu.edu/studentaccounts for the current reinstatement
fee). At the time of reinstatement, the student’s program plan
must adhere to the institutional time requirements (time
requirements are described later in this section of The Bulletin)
for completing the degree program.
Student Enrollment Status Verification and Loan
Deferment
For loan eligibility and deferment purposes, a student registered
for at least 8 units is considered to be a full-time student, and a
student registered for at least 4 units is considered to be a halftime student. The Office of Admission and Records can verify
student status upon the written request of a student. A Status
Request Form (@) is available at www.cgu.edu/registrar.
A doctoral student registered for Doctoral Study after completion of the required number of units for the degree is considered
a full-time student until completion of the seventh year after first
registration. If one year of transfer credit is granted, the full-time
designation continues until completion of the sixth year after
first registration.
A master’s degree student registered for Continuous Registration
after completion of the required number of units appropriate to
the degree program is considered a full-time student until completion of the fifth year after first registration. (In some master’s
degree programs, for example, the M.B.A. program, the student
is considered to be full-time until completion of the sixth year.)
A student registered in the Teacher Education Internship
Program is considered a full-time student for purposes of loan
eligibility and deferment when he or she is taking a minimum of
four units of coursework in the fall or spring along with the
teaching internship.
Approved leaves of absence for research do not extend these calendar limits. Leaves of absence for medical disability, military
service, family or financial hardship do extend the time limit
allowed to complete the degree.

credit only affects the time limit for doctoral students.
It is the responsibility of the student to meet all the degree
requirements outlined in this section and any other requirements within specific academic program sections of this
Bulletin.
Students who find it necessary to exceed the time limits published in this Bulletin will observe the following procedure:
Grading System
Claremont Graduate University uses a 4.0 scale for determining grade point average as follows:
A+ = 4.0
A = 4.0
A- = 3.7
B+ = 3.3
B = 3.0
B- = 2.7
C+ = 2.3
C = 2.0
C- = 1.7
U=0
Other notations include:
S - Satisfactory. For satisfactory work. Recommended for
reading, research, and independent study courses. It is
not included in the G.P.A. calculation.
U - Unsatisfactory. For unsatisfactory work in any course.
Does not count toward fulfillment of the residence
requirement or program course requirements.
I - Incomplete. At the instructor’s discretion, an incomplete may be given for any course that a student has not
completed by the end of the semester but that the
instructor feels the student can complete satisfactorily.
See the section below titled “Incompletes.”
PI - Permanent Incomplete. Does not count as units completed.
OO - Audit.
GP - Grade Pending.
W - Withdrawal. The withdrawal designation indicates a
student’s withdrawal from a class after the last date to
drop classes.
Incompletes
A student who has received an Incomplete is required to
make up the work by such time as is stipulated by the instructor after consultation with the student, but in no case later
than one calendar year from the time at which the work was
originally due. If the Incomplete is not made up within the
specified time, it will become a Permanent Incomplete on the
student’s transcript (PI).
Degree candidates expecting to graduate in a given semester
must have removed all Incompletes as well as completed all
coursework prior to the last day of the semester. If such
Incompletes are not removed, the degree will be granted in
the subsequent term, subject to the successful removal of the
Incompletes.
Extensions of Time
The normal time limit for a master’s degree student to complete the requirements for a degree is no more than five years
from the date of initial enrollment (six years for the M.B.A.
and the E.M.B.A.); for a doctoral student, it is no more than
seven years. These limits may vary based on the program,
leaves of absence, and any transfer credit accepted. Transfer
• Students must complete the Extension of Time to
Degree form (@) (available at www.cgu.edu/registrar)
and secure the approval of the faculty advisor and the
dean of the school in which they are enrolled. The academic
department will then submit the signed form to the
Office of Admission and Records for processing.
• The first such extension will be granted for a period of
up to one year to students enrolled in a master’s
program and up to two years to students enrolled in a
Ph.D. program (except for psychology students). Any
subsequent extensions sought and granted will be for a
period of one year and must carry the approval of the faculty advisor and dean of the school.
Standards of Academic Honesty
All students at Claremont Graduate University are expected
to adhere to the highest standards of academic honesty in the
performance of all academic work. A student shall be subject
to discipline for any form of academic dishonesty, including
(but not limited to) cheating, plagiarism, forgery, and the use
of materials prepared by another (whether published or not,
including commercially prepared materials) without appropriately crediting the source. The University will follow procedures that provide the student with safeguards appropriate
to the nature of the alleged violation and the potential
penalty. Disciplinary sanctions may range from an official
warning to the expulsion of the student from Claremont
Graduate University. A description of procedures is available
on the page 19 of this Bulletin and on the web page of the vice
president for student services and the dean of students.
Satisfactory Academic Progress
The general requirements for satisfactory academic progress
can be found on page 20.
Use of Computer Resources
The University expects that all students will adhere to the
policies and procedures governing the use of computer and
electronic-based information resources. Copies of student
user rights and obligations are available in the institutional
handbook on the CGU web page (www.cgu.edu/handbook).
Users are responsible for being familiar with these conditions.
Courses
Courses offered by CGU, and selectively by the five undergraduate Claremont Colleges, Keck Graduate Institute, and
the Claremont School of Theology, are open to graduate students. Those numbered 200 and above carry graduate credit.
Courses and seminars numbered from 300 to 600 normally
serve the primary programs for graduate students. All 200
level courses are usually open only to master’s and first-year
doctoral students. If a master’s or first-year doctoral student
desires to take a 100 – 199 level undergraduate course for
graduate credit that is not a part of their regular graduate cur-
R E G I S T R AT I O N
AND DEGREE

riculum, the student must obtain approval of their faculty
advisor and the course instructor. Students receiving credit
for such courses are required to do work of graduate caliber.
In addition to general courses, Claremont Graduate
University offers individualized instruction on a wide range
of topics through tutorials and independent study supervised
by faculty. These are: Tutorial Reading (397) and Independent
Study (398) on the master’s level, and Tutorial Reading (497)
and Independent Research (498) on the doctoral level.
Advancement to Candidacy for a Degree
Admission to the University and passing of coursework do not
automatically advance a student to candidacy for a degree or

Unit Requirement. Completion of the master’s degree
requires a minimum of 30 units of graduate credit. See specific academic program sections in this Bulletin to confirm
the number of units required. A student whose program
includes a thesis or critique may, on faculty recommendation,
receive a maximum of 6 units of credit for thesis research.
Four units of credit may be awarded for writing a critique.
Transfer of Credit. Credit may be transferred toward a master’s degree under the same general conditions as those governing transfers for the Ph.D. No more than 15 semester units
or their equivalent may be transferred into master’s programs
requiring 60 units, no more than 10 into those requiring 48
units, and no more than 6 into those requiring fewer than 48
units. Transfer credit is generally awarded only for work completed prior to the student’s first enrollment at CGU. In all
cases, students should inquire about the requirements and
evaluation procedures in the program concerned.
Residence and Time Requirement / Limit. The institutional residence requirement and time limit for the master’s
degree is that all requirements be completed within five calendar years (six years for the M.B.A. and E.M.B.A.). The student must be enrolled continuously, either for credit or for
Continuous Registration, until the degree is earned. See the
“Degree Regulations” section in this Bulletin regarding petitions for extension of time.
Continuous Registration. Master’s degree students are
required to maintain continuous registration until all
requirements for the degree have been met, including, if
applicable, approval of a thesis or critique and payment of
binding fees. A student not enrolled in coursework or thesis
research is required to register for Continuous Registration
(400M). Please refer to the “Reinstatement” section of this

Bulletin for details on the procedures for re-enrolling if continuous registration has not been maintained.
Qualifying Examinations. The faculty of a particular field
may require a written qualifying examination in addition to or
in place of the thesis or critique. Students should consult the
academic section of this Bulletin for specific requirements.
Thesis or Critique. A thesis or critique affords evidence of
the candidate’s ability to analyze and evaluate materials and
to write clearly. A thesis involves the careful design and execution of a research problem. A critique may also involve a
research problem, or it may be a critical analysis and evaluation of the literature on a particular subject, or a description
and evaluation of a project. A thesis or critique may be prepared either in conjunction with one or more courses, or
independently under the guidance of the student's advisor. It
must be read and approved by the advisor(s). A thesis or critique is featured only in certain fields.
Thesis or Critique Registration. (The catalog number
assigned to this registration is 399.) Students may register for a
maximum of 6 units of credit for thesis research and 4 units of
credit for the critique with faculty approval. A grade of
Incomplete is given until the thesis or critique is completed.
Final Oral Examination. Students submitting a thesis or
critique may be required to defend it in an oral examination.
This examination also includes questions on the candidate’s
general field of concentration. The committee conducting
this examination normally includes the candidate’s advisor
and one or more CGU faculty members with whom the candidate has taken graduate work, and in certain fields a thesis
examiner who is not a member of the University faculty.
Final Copies of Theses and Critiques. Final copies of theses must be submitted to the Office of Admission and Records
by the date posted in the academic calendar. Two unbound
copies of the thesis, the original and a copy, are deposited in
Honnold Library after the final examination. Final copies of
the critique, the original and one copy, must be submitted to
the faculty in the relevant field.
Final Approval. During the semester in which a student
expects to have met all requirements for the degree, a
Master’s Final Approval form (@) must be completed. The
student must submit the form to the department or school
for appropriate signature. If the student is recommended for
the degree, the form is returned to the Office of Admission
and Records for verification and processing.
Students should check the academic calendar for the final
date for completion of all degree requirements for master’s
degrees to be awarded in late August, January, or May.
Master’s Degree Along the Way to the Ph.D. Students may
qualify for a master’s degree while pursuing a Ph.D. in the
same field. Upon completion of all requirements of that master’s degree, the student should submit all necessary paperwork associated with it in the semester in which the student
intends to receive the degree (according to the deadlines
printed in the academic calendar).
Once a student has earned a master’s degree in the same field
as the Ph.D. none of the units accomplished for those two
degrees may be applied to a subsequent degree.
California State Teacher Credentials. A program of study is
offered by the faculty in education to prepare prospective teachers to meet certification requirements for public school teaching
in California. The program, based on the concept of internship,
provides alternative means of achieving certification and prepares
teachers at elementary and secondary levels. Admission is possible either at the beginning of the spring semester or the summer
semester. Applicants must meet the education faculty’s requirements for admission to the M.A. program.
Prospective teachers who are admitted to this program combine
academic study with an intensive observation-participation program in cooperating school districts. In September, the intern
begins full-time teaching at full salary under the supervision of
a CGU advisor.A teacher placement specialist is available to assist
students in obtaining full-time teaching internship positions.
Upon successful completion of the program, a student has met
requirements for the California Clear Teaching Credential. The
M.A. is earned by completing additional coursework.
Accelerated Bachelor’s/Master’s Degree Programs at The
Claremont Colleges. Claremont Graduate University offers
qualified undergraduate students at The Claremont Colleges the
opportunity to work simultaneously toward the completion of
their undergraduate degree requirements and a master’s degree
in selected academic fields. Applicants must be recommended
by their respective college faculty and should apply to the program during their junior year. Undergraduate students should
consult their advisors and the University as early as possible to
plan their academic programs. For additional information, contact the academic department in which you are interested. The
units accepted must be a B or better.

Exceptions. Students in the following programs are not
required to take the T-Course, but are welcome to: Ph.D. in
Botany, Joint Ph.D. with CSU Long Beach, Joint Ph.D. with San
Diego State University, and Ph.D. in Computational and
Systems Biology.
DOCTORAL DEGREES
Students completing master’s degree requirements at
Claremont Graduate University should not take for granted
automatic admission to Ph.D. programs. Admission to doctoral programs requires formal application and subsequent
approval by the field faculty and the dean of the school. (See
the section titled “Program Changes” for procedures.)
Doctor of Church Music Degree
The Doctor of Church Music combines excellence in church
music performance with a theological background. The
degree requirements are generally those of the Ph.D. with
exceptions noted in the section on “Music.”
Doctor of Musical Arts Degree

Time Requirement / Limit. All degree requirements must
be completed within seven years from the time a student
begins graduate study at Claremont Graduate University. The
seven-year maximum time period for the Ph.D. degree is
reduced by six months for 12 units or less of transfer credit and
by twelve months for 13 to 24 units of transfer credit.
Residence Requirement. The residence requirement for the
Ph.D. degree may be met either by two semesters of full-time
study in a 2-year period or by the completion of 48 units of
coursework within a 3-year period, including work in the
summer session.
Students who receive transfer credit for 12 units or less may
meet the residence requirement either by completing two fulltime semesters of coursework within a 2-year period or by completing 36 units within a 2 1/2-year period. Those receiving transfer credit for 13 to 24 units may meet the residence requirement
by completing 24 units within a 2-year period. The seven-year
maximum time period for the Ph.D. degree is reduced by six
months for 12 units or less of transfer credit and by twelve
months for 13 to 24 units of transfer credit.
Students who are admitted to a Ph.D. program at Claremont
Graduate University after completing a master’s degree at CGU
are, for purposes of residence and time requirements/limits
only, subject to the same regulations as students who enter CGU
after completing a master’s degree at another institution. Units
earned in a master’s program at CGU normally count toward
the unit requirement for a Ph.D. degree in the same field.
Because coursework requirements differ from field to field, students entering a Ph.D. program with a CGU master’s degree
should consult their faculty advisors in planning their Ph.D.

program, not all units may count towards the Ph.D.
This policy does not apply to students who were initially admitted to the Ph.D. program and who have received a master’s
degree at CGU in the course of their work toward the doctorate. The general requirements for the Ph.D. degree outlined in
this Bulletin are applicable to such students.
Neither Dissertation Research (495) nor Doctoral Study
(499) may be used to satisfy the residence requirement. The
student must be enrolled continuously, either for credit or for
Doctoral Study, until the degree is earned.
Doctoral Study. When not paying tuition for courses or
research, a student is required to register for Doctoral Study
(499) and to pay the doctoral study fee each semester until
all requirements for the degree have been completed. This
applies equally to students not in residence. Students who do
not register by the end of the second week of a given semester will be assumed to have withdrawn from their studies at
Claremont Graduate University and this will be noted on
their transcripts. (See sections on “Withdrawal from CGU”
and “Reinstatement.”)
The following numbers are used for doctoral research in all
fields: Dissertation Research (495); Tutorial Reading (497);
and Independent Research (498). With the exception of
Dissertation Research (495), grades are due at the end of the
semester in which the course was taken. Grades for
Dissertation Research are not due until the dissertation is
submitted and the oral defense has been passed. No grades
are given and no units are awarded for doctoral study registration. For details about graduate courses and undergraduate courses for graduate credit, see the paragraphs under
“Courses” earlier in this section.
Transfer of Credit. Certain coursework completed at other
institutions may be accepted for credit at CGU. The work
must have been completed with at least a grade of “B” at a
graduate institution accredited by a regional accrediting body.
It must be shown to be relevant to the degree program of the
student in question, and to be of appropriate quality and currency. Units from a college or university outside of the U.S.
are only transferable if those units were not applied towards
the bachelor’s degree equivalency.
No more than 24 semester-units or their equivalent may be
transferred. The units of credit for courses accepted for transfer will appear on the CGU transcript. Decisions about the
acceptability of proposed transfer credits are made by the student’s faculty advisor and chair or dean of the department or
school using the Transfer of Credit Petition Form (@). The
Office of Admission and Records must, when the petition is
submitted, have received official transcripts recording the
courses in question. The petition should specify precisely
which courses are to be considered and also identify any
degree or certificate program in which they figured. In some
cases, the general content of a particular completed program
may justify transfer of the credit accrued in it. In all other
cases, the petition should include descriptions, from institutional catalogs if possible, of course contents. Transfer credit
is awarded only for work completed prior to the student’s first
enrollment at CGU. Students should, in any event, inquire
about the requirements and evaluation procedures in the academic program concerned.
Research Tools. Reading proficiency in two approved foreign languages is normally required, except when the graduate faculty in a field accepts substitutions. Such substitutions
include statistics, mathematics, computer programming, and
others in selected fields. For further details, students should
consult the respective program sections.
Students who have fulfilled the research tool for the Ph.D.
degree at another institution may petition their faculty to
have the research requirements accepted by Claremont
Graduate University, provided they were completed within
the last three years. Entering students who wish to petition
should do so immediately with their academic department.
Prerequisites for Qualifying Examinations. The following requirements must be met before a student is permitted
to take the qualifying examinations:
(1) attainment of full graduate standing;
(2) satisfaction of the research tools requirement, as outlined
under individual programs; and
(3) completion of not less than two years of full-time
graduate study, or 48 units, including transfer credit.
Any Incompletes appearing on the student’s record must
be over and above the 48 units needed for eligibility.
Qualifying Examinations. Students are expected to take
their qualifying examinations in sufficient time to allow for
completion of the degree within seven years (including transfer credit).
When a student has completed the program of study prescribed, the advisor and dean of the relevant program will
approve a committee to give the qualifying examinations. The
approval must be made using the Form One: Qualifying
Examinations Form (@) at least two weeks before the examinations are scheduled to begin. No examination may be held
until such a committee has actually been approved and institutional prerequisites verified by the Office of Admission and
Records. In the case of failure to pass either the written or oral
examinations, the student may be permitted, on recommendation of the advisor and dean of the school concerned, to take a
second examination after a stipulated period of time has elapsed
(no less than three months and no more than one calendar year
after the first examination). If the results of the second examination are unsatisfactory, no further examinations will be permitted except upon recommendation of the graduate faculty in
the field concerned and with the approval of the provost and
vice president for academic affairs.
Advancement to Candidacy. Advancement to candidacy for
the Ph.D. degree takes place when the student’s dissertation pro-
R E G I S T R AT I O N
AND DEGREE
39
posal is approved. As soon as possible after completion of qualifying examinations, the student should request that a dissertation committee be appointed. (See the next section for dissertation committee policies.) The dissertation committee and the
dean of the school in the student’s field approve the committee
members using the Form Two: Advancement to Candidacy
Form (@), which is sent to the Office of Admission and Records
for verification. The student will present his or her dissertation
proposal for approval by the committee. After acceptance of the
proposal by the committee and submission of a 350-word
abstract of the proposal, the student is advanced to candidacy by
approval of the dissertation committee and dean of the school.
Dissertation, Committee Membership and Final Oral
Examination. The dissertation must be completed within the
seven-year limit for completion of all degree requirements; see
previous section on “Time Requirement.”
Using Form Three: Final Oral Exam (@) available at
www.cgu.edu/registrar, the dissertation chair and the dean of
the school submit their approval of the names of the committee members and a date for the final oral examination. The
approval must be submitted at least three weeks before the
scheduled date of the examination and forwarded to the Office
of Admission and Records for institutional verification.
This can be done no sooner than six months after advancement to candidacy, when the dissertation has been completed, when all other requirements for the degree have been
fulfilled, and when the dissertation committee recommends
scheduling the final examination.
The final oral examination will center on a defense of the dissertation and the relationship of the dissertation to the student’s general field of study. The final date for the scheduling
of final oral examinations is listed in the academic calendar.
All final oral committees will consist of at least three members, two must be CGU faculty in the candidate’s field and
one may be an outside examiner according to the following
criteria. On a three-person committee, the outside examiner
may be either a CGU faculty member in another field or a
member of the graduate faculty from any of the other
Claremont Colleges. On a four-person committee, the outside examiner in addition may be a faculty member from
another institution, or a qualified practitioner. On a four-person committee, the outside examiner has a vote in the committee’s proceedings only with the consent of the dean of the
school. Claremont Graduate University encourages the inclusion on the committee of an expert in the student’s field from
outside The Claremont Colleges.
In the case of failure to pass the final oral examination, the
regulations listed above for qualifying examinations are applicable; i.e., the student may be permitted, on recommendation of the graduate faculty in the field concerned, to take a
second examination after a stipulated period of time has
elapsed (not less than three months and no more than one
calendar year after the first examination).
The original signed dissertation and one copy, unbound,
accompanied by an abstract not exceeding 350 words, must
be submitted to and accepted by the Office of Admission and
Records no later than the date listed in the academic calendar.
Dissertations may not be removed thereafter. The original
and copy will be deposited in Honnold Library.
Publication of the Dissertation. Before the candidate may
be awarded the degree, arrangements for the publication of
the candidate’s dissertation must be made. To achieve this,
the candidate is required to pay a fee to cover the cost of
microfilming the dissertation and must also sign an agreement authorizing Proquest to reproduce the dissertation on
microfilm. The negative microfilm is deposited with that
organization, from which positive microfilm copies may be
ordered. The abstract is published in Dissertation Abstracts.
Microfilming does not deprive the author of the right to publish the dissertation in book form.
The candidate may make the payment for microfilming and
binding when submitting the final copy of the dissertation in
the Office of Admission and Records by the deadline posted
in the academic calendar. Details outlining the fees are available on the Office of Admission and Records’ web page at
www.cgu.edu/registrar.
Joint Ph.D. Program with California State University,
Long Beach. Claremont Graduate University cooperates with
California State University, Long Beach, in offering the joint
Ph.D. program in Engineering and Industrial Applied
Mathematics. The student may pursue an interdisciplinary

Dual Degree Policies. Dual degree policies, procedures, and
approval forms are available from the school or department and
the Office of Admission and Records (available at
www.cgu.edu/registrar).
Students interested in pursuing a dual degree program must
submit a signed, approved Change of Degree or Field Form
(@) to the Office of Admission and Records prior to completion of their first 16 units at CGU. Dual degree programs require
the approval of the faculty and deans of both schools and
departments, the Office of Admission and Records, and the
Academic Standards Committee and must comply with the current dual degree policies of the University.
The maximum number of units from previous graduate coursework that may be transferred into a CGU dual degree program
is 12 semester units for students pursuing a master’s/Ph.D. program. No units may be transferred into dual master’s programs.
A student is considered dual degree for the duration of their program (i.e. until both programs are completed). Students in the
master’s/doctoral dual degree program may not receive a second
master’s degree in the doctoral field. Students may not apply any
units earned in the dual degrees to any subsequent degrees.
International students wishing to pursue a dual degree should be
aware that due to federal regulations, neither degree will be
awarded until the requirements for both degrees have been fulfilled.
Students may pursue existing formal dual degree programs or
design an individual program to meet their academic and professional goals, subject to the approval of both schools and the
Academic Standards Committee. Students should seek the advice
and guidance from their academic departments and the Office of
Admission and Records for proper procedures.
Interfield degree. An interfield degree program allows a student
to complete one doctoral degree with a program of study that combines work in two academic fields.
Students wishing to be considered for an interfield degree must formally apply for admission to both departments in which they wish
to study.
The student, in collaboration with faculty advisors, must draw up a
detailed program proposal. New students admitted to an interfield
degree must complete the proposal within the first year of work in
the interfield program. Continuing students wishing to change to
an interfield degree must submit the proposal with the Change of
Degree or Field Form (@). The program proposal must specify the
courses to be taken, grouped within discipline areas, as well as subject areas for the qualifying examinations, residence intentions, foreign language and other research tools to be completed in the program, and the specific title of the interfield degree. Finally, the program proposal must identify the operating procedures of one academic field to be utilized in determining qualifying examination
procedures, the dissertation committee, and other mechanisms
employed in the advance of the program.The operating procedures
to be employed shall reflect those in the academic field in which the
majority of work will be completed.
Program proposals are subject to the approval of the faculty and
deans of both fields concerned, and must be submitted to the
Office of Admission and Records for administrative approval and
processing.
Interfield application instructions are available on the Office of
Admission and Records’ web page at www.cgu.edu/registrar.
Interfield doctoral students may receive a masters’degree in one but
not both fields.
The name of the interfield degree lists the disciplines in a sequence
that reflects the academic focus of a particular program.
Significant changes in examination areas or program design must be
submitted by the student for ratification by the relevant department
committees and the dean of the school and submitted to the Office
of Admission and Records.
Special Academic Programs
California State Administrative Credentials
The faculty in education offers a program to meet certification
requirements for school administrators—the Professional
Administrative Services Credential. Credential and Ph.D. work may
be combined.
Work toward the Professional Administrative Services Credential is
integrated with the program in education leadership. An outline of
the philosophy and structure of the urban education leadership doctoral program is included in the “Education”section of this Bulletin.
Summer Session
The summer session is designed primarily for currently enrolled
graduate and undergraduate students at The Claremont Colleges.
However, it also is open to students at other colleges and universities and other individuals not currently enrolled at any educational institution.
The summer session offers required and elective courses, which
are fully integrated with the academic-year curriculum, as well as
opportunities for students to complete research tool requirements
and to participate in internships and field placement seminars.
Summer session courses are taught by regular Claremont
Graduate University faculty, members of the faculties of the
other Claremont Colleges, and distinguished visiting and adjunct
faculty.
Additional information about the summer session is included in
the “Information for Applicants” section of this Bulletin.
Non-CGU students must complete a Visiting Student

Professional Credit Unit Programs
The faculty of Claremont Graduate University from time to time
offers professional development programs based on a professional
credit unit (PCU), conferred for graduate study not associated
with advanced degree programs. Education and credit given in
these programs has served as a basis for salary increments and
other recognition of students by their employers.
Acceptance to a PCU program does not constitute acceptance
to the University per se, but up to six PCU units earned prior
to beginning a CGU degree program may be transferred
toward a master’s-level degree on petition by the student and
approval of the appropriate department faculty.
Tuition for professional credit units is established on a program-by-program basis each year, but normally has been substantially less than that charged for regular degree programs.
Grades of S (Satisfactory) and U (Unsatisfactory) will be used
unless letter grades have been specifically recommended, in
which case the regular CGU grading policy will be followed.
PCU activities are offered in a variety of formats. Some follow
the usual semester plan, while others may take the form of
intensive work over a limited period of time. Structure is determined by the nature of the objectives sought, but in each case
a calendar for completion of work associated with the course,
seminar, or workshop is clearly established and adhered to
closely. Administrative aspects (i.e. registration and transcripts, etc.) of PCU activities are centralized in the Office of
Admission and Records.
McNair Scholars Program
The Ronald E. McNair Post-Baccalaureate Achievement
Program seeks students who have completed at least their
sophomore year and are first-generation and low-income, or
who are from a group underrepresented at the doctoral level
(African-American, Latino-American, or Native-American).
The program encourages students to pursue graduate studies
by providing opportunities to define goals, engage in research,
and develop the skills and student/faculty mentor relationships
critical to success at the doctoral level.The program provides
each scholar with a six-week summer academic program
designed to increase skills, confidence, and encourage enrollment in graduate school.
McNair scholars receive 10 units of graduate credit for successfully completing five graduate level courses during the sixweek summer session. The courses may become part of the student’s program at their undergraduate institution.

The School of the Arts and Humanities brings together art and music with English, cultural studies, history, and philosophy to create interdisciplinary programs and to provide opportunities for greater discourse between students and faculty in these fields. The School aspires to build a community of scholars and artists actively engaged in the pursuit of excellence, training to become tomorrow’s teachers, media experts, artists, musicians, and arts and cultural leaders. The School’s
interdisciplinary environment is designed to provide the disciplinary depth and cross-disciplinary flexibility to meet the
challenges of today’s world.
The arts at CGU provide students with focused curricula in the disciplines of studio art and music. Offering the M.F.A.
and M.A. degrees, the Art Department provides an artists-in-residence atmosphere through which to develop a chosen creative focus in applied art. The Music Department offers an academic program well-grounded in performance that allows
students to focus on their respective interests, offering courses of study leading to the degrees of Master of Arts, Doctor
of Church Music, Doctor of Musical Arts, and Doctor of Philosophy.
The humanities comprises cultural studies, English, history, and philosophy. Innovative and interdisciplinary in our
approach to learning, the humanities programs promote the study of human history, literature, and culture as a means to
understanding the problems of today. We host a number of special events throughout the year such as the Bradshaw
Seminar and the Thursday Forum, which promote our mission to foster transdisciplinary study.
Each of the four humanities departments offers degrees in its own discipline, admits and advises its students, and maintains its own curriculum. Students are encouraged to take courses offered by other academic departments at CGU,
approved upper-division courses at the other Claremont Colleges, and other interdisciplinary courses approved by their
department faculty.
Accelerated BA/MA Program
This program offers students from the undergraduate Claremont Colleges the special opportunity to obtain an accelerated M.A. through four-plus-one years of coursework (please see details in the “Master of Arts Degree” section of this
Bulletin). Applicants must have the approval of their undergraduate advisor and a graduate advisor and are admitted
under provisional status until they have completed their undergraduate degree. Students usually apply to the program in
their junior year and can take a maximum of 12 or 16 graduate units toward the required units for the M.A. while registered as undergraduate students. Contact the individual department office for details.
Dual Degree Programs
A dual degree within programs in the Arts and Humanities or with programs outside the Arts and Humanities provides
an excellent opportunity to combine fields to create a degree in a specific interest such as cultural studies/philosophy,
art/history, or English/applied women’s studies. Some traditional dual degree programs, such as philosophy/religion, are
described in more detail in the department sections of The Bulletin, however, non-traditional dual degree programs can
be created with the appropriate approvals in both departments/schools and a curriculum of study can be designed for
that specific degree. Please refer to the dual degree section of this Bulletin under “Registration and Degree Information.”
Financial aid awards applied to dual degree students may be modified to reflect the special circumstances, and students
may receive financial awards from both areas when the programs involved are in different CGU schools. See your faculty
advisor for more information on dual degrees.

Concentration in Early Modern Studies
Ph.D. students in the humanities may choose a concentration in the interdisciplinary field of early modern studies. See
full description on page 63.
Master’s Degree in Arts and Cultural Management
The School of the Arts and Humanities and the Peter F. Drucker and Masatoshi Ito Graduate School of Management
jointly offer the Master of Arts in Arts and Cultural Management. See full description under “Transdisciplinary Studies”
on page 117.
Research Tool Requirement (Applies to all programs except Art)
Proficiency in a foreign language is a vital tool for scholarship, both in interpretation of texts and of important critical works for research and teaching. With this in mind, the departments of cultural studies, English, history, music, and
philosophy require a demonstration of reading knowledge and proficiency in one language other than English for the
master’s student and two languages other than English for the Ph.D. student. The language examinations are offered
three times each year, and are administered through the Arts and Humanities Office. (See each department’s requirement for completing the research tool requirement.)

Academic Program
Students in cultural studies study the nature, origins, production, distribution, and persistence of contemporary and past
cultures. Students research and analyze cultural change and
continuity, the operations of contemporary cultural forms, the
construction of knowledge, the emergence and functioning of
power relationships, and the shaping of cultural identities and
their interactions with other cultural phenomena.
Students have considerable choice in the design of their course
of study, including choice of concentration and minor fields.
Working closely with faculty advisors, students devise a course
of study that gives them intellectual depth in at least one traditional humanities or social science field as well as in the theoretical, multidisciplinary breadth of cultural studies.
The Cultural Studies Department provides multidisciplinary
graduate training within the humanities, and between the
humanities and social sciences. Cultural studies students
approach topics from a variety of perspectives, studying the
theories, canons, and paradigmatic assumptions of several disciplines. Cultural studies courses are also an attractive option
for students obtaining degrees in the social sciences, in policy
planning, or for students working towards a dual degree with
an M.B.A.
In addition, the program intertwines theoretical, empirical, and
experiential graduate field studies. Students enroll as interns in
a required field studies course that promotes student participation in and analysis of the local community’s cultural
processes. Regular meetings of a field studies seminar deepen
the field work/experiential learning.
Advising. Each student is assigned an advisor upon entering
the program. A student may change advisors, but the initial
assignment guarantees immediate coordination and planning
47
to each student. Advisors will also work with students in selecting faculty committees for the M.A. and Ph.D. exams, theses,
and dissertations.
Concentration in Museum Studies
The Museum Studies concentration provides multidisciplinary graduate training within the humanities, and between
the humanities and social sciences. Museum Studies students
approach topics from a multitude of perspectives, studying
the theories, canons, and paradigmatic assumptions of several disciplines. Students learn the history and practice of
research, interpretation, and display of a wide variety of cultural productions. Critical and theoretical developments in
the continually changing field of museums, exhibitions, and
sites of public memory are emphasized.
Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy Degrees
Students enrolled in the M.A. program complete 36 units of
coursework. Students enrolled in the Ph.D. program complete 72 units of coursework.
Required courses:
• Introduction to Cultural Studies I and II
• Field Research Methods
• Two Museum Theory and History Seminars
• Internship
Additional units shall be completed in courses offered by the
Cultural Studies Department and/or by approved courses taught
by the faculty of The Claremont Colleges. Additionally, students
interested in the study of museums as organizations may choose
to draw on our programming in arts and cultural management.
Students with no previous museum experience will participate
in 4 units of directed internship at the Masters level and 4 at the
doctoral level. Doctoral students may petition for enhanced
credit for an internship up to a total of 8 units.
MASTER’S PROGRAM
Master of Arts Degree
Course Requirements. M.A. students are required to take
36 units in graduate coursework. Twelve of these units are
required courses: two semesters of Introduction to Cultural
Studies (CLST 300 and CLST 301), and one semester of Field
Research in Cultural Studies (CLST 303). The remaining 24
units are completed in courses offered by cultural studies
and/or in approved courses taught by the faculty of The
Claremont Colleges. For residence and other general requirements, see the “Degree Regulations” section in this Bulletin.
Language Requirement. The candidate must demonstrate
reading proficiency in one language other than English.
Other Requirements. The capstone for the M.A. degree is a \
Master's thesis of approximately 60 pages that involves either (a)
directed academic research and scholarship or (b) a form of cultural production that integrates a substantial analytic component
(e.g. performance and interpretation; exhibition and analysis).
The M.A. degree may also be awarded to students who have
been advanced to candidacy for the doctorate, or to those who
have not yet passed the qualifying exams at the doctoral level
but have met the standards for the M.A. degree.
DOCTORAL PROGRAM
Doctor of Philosophy Degree
DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
Course Requirements. Students accepted into the Ph.D.
program in cultural studies are required to complete 72 units
of coursework. Twelve of these units are required courses: two
semesters of Introduction to Cultural Studies (CLST 300 and
301) and one semester of Field Research in Cultural Studies
(CLST 303). The remainder of the units are completed in
courses offered by Cultural Studies or in approved courses
taught by the faculty of The Claremont Colleges. Up to 24
units of transfer credit for relevant graduate work completed
at another accredited university may be accepted. For more
detailed information regarding transfer of credit, residence
requirements, and other requirements, see the section on
“Degree Regulations” in this Bulletin.
Transdisciplinary Course Requirement. All students who
enter the doctoral program after the fall 2004 semester are
required to complete the transdisciplinary course requirement within the first two years of their program. For details
on the requirement, see the “Doctor of Philosophy Degree”
section in this Bulletin.
Other Requirements. After completing course requirements, each student is expected to work toward his or her dissertation as an original contribution to a field of inquiry
within cultural studies.
Language and Research Tools. The candidate must
demonstrate reading proficiency in two languages other than
English, or in one language other than English and one
research tool. With the advisor’s approval, a Ph.D. student
may substitute the second language requirement with Digital
Humanities (HUM 340), (research tool). No degree units will
be given for this research tool. This workshop is normally
offered during the summer session.
Qualifying Examinations. A demonstration of competence
in three fields is required of all students. The major field must
be in a traditional discipline in the humanities or social sciences. The student may develop minor fields in the humanities and social sciences. The student’s supervisory committee
must approve the selection of fields and is responsible for
avoiding overlapping or duplication of fields.
Students are examined in each field. The three written examinations are followed by an oral defense. All examinations and
the oral defense must be completed within one semester.
In the event that a student fails a field examination, the examining committee for the three fields and dean of the school
may recommend that the student be permitted to take a
C U LT U R A L
STUDIES
SCHOOL OF
THE ARTS AND
HUMANITIES
48
reexamination. Failure on a re-examination, written or oral, disqualifies the student from further graduate study at Claremont
Graduate University, except in extraordinary cases as recommended by the examining committee and approved by the
provost and vice president for academic affairs. When feasible,
re-examinations are given by the same faculty members.
Dissertation Requirements. Students must submit an
acceptable dissertation prospectus for approval by the dissertation committee. This committee, recommended by the cultural studies chair in consultation with the student, consists of
no fewer than three members, one of whom serves as dissertation supervisor. Each candidate must prepare an acceptable
dissertation under the guidance of the supervisory committee,
to be defended in a final oral examination attended by all
members of the committee. A draft of the dissertation that
takes into account the criticisms by the major advisor and is
acceptable to the major advisor must be completed by October
1 for students completing the degree at the end of the fall
semester, and by March 1 for students completing the degree
at the end of the spring semester. This draft must be in a form
suitable for submission to the other readers. Deadlines for
completion in final form are listed in the “Degree Regulations”
section of this Bulletin and in the Academic Calendar.

admitted to any degree program in English must read carefully the English Department Student Handbook and the
“Degree Regulations” section of this Bulletin for a complete
listing of requirements.
MASTER’S PROGRAM
Master of Arts Degree
Program Requirements. A completed B.A. degree is a prerequisite for admission to the 40-unit M.A. program. Degree
requirements include the following: 40 units of coursework (10
courses of 4 units each); one foreign language; and the M.A.
comprehensive exam. Students are advised to take no more than
12 units per semester. See “Residence Requirements” and other
institutional regulations under “Master of Arts Degree” in the
“Degree Regulations” section of this Bulletin.
Distribution Requirement. The 10 courses must fulfill the
following distribution requirement: one course in British literature before 1800; one in British literature after 1800; one
in American literature before 1900; one in American literature after 1900; and one other course in British or American
literature of any period.
Language Requirement. The M.A. student must demonstrate a reading knowledge of one foreign language. The language exam should normally be taken in classical Greek,
Latin, French, German, Italian, or Spanish. Any student wishing to test in a different language must receive the prior
approval of the chair, or of the faculty member in charge of
the language exam. With prior approval, successful completion of a foreign language course (with a grade of B+ or better) while enrolled at CGU may substitute for the language
exam. Course work and exams taken prior to admission to
the English Department cannot be used to fulfill this language requirement.
Comprehensive Examinations. The student must pass the
written M.A. comprehensive exam, which is designed to test
the student’s ability to do close readings of selected passages
from British and American literature as well as the ability to
place these texts in the appropriate cultural context. The M.A.
comprehensive exam may not be taken if the student has
more than one outstanding “Incomplete” grade.

Master of Arts in Literature and Film
Degree
Program Requirements. Degree requirements for the M.A.
in literature and film are the same as those for the regular M.A.,
except that a) four of the 10 seminars taken must be film
courses (the M.A. distribution requirement also applies, and
one of the four film courses may be counted for the inter-disciplinary requirement); b) three of the four film courses taken
must be offered by the CGU English Department; and c) the
M.A. comprehensive exam will also include sections on film.
Master of Arts in Literature and
Creative Writing Degree
Program Requirements. Degree requirements for the M.A.
in literature and creative writing are the same as those for the
regular M.A., except that a) four of the 10 seminars taken
must be creative writing courses (M.A. distribution requirement also applies, and one of the four creative writing courses
may be counted for the interdisciplinary requirement); b)
three of the four creative writing courses must be offered by

Master of Philosophy Degree
Program Requirements. For those students who would like
to undertake graduate study beyond the M.A. but not pursue
a Ph.D., the CGU English Department offers the M.Phil.
degree. The M.Phil. is a terminal degree and does not lead to
the Ph.D. degree. A completed M.A. degree is a prerequisite
for admission to the 68-unit M.Phil. program.
Degree requirements include the following: 64 units of coursework, 4 units of Critique Research, two foreign languages, and
an M.Phil. critique. The critique research is planned in consultation with an English faculty advisor and is designed to inform
and underwrite the M.Phil. critique, a research paper of 12,00015,000 words (40-60 pages).
All 40 units of coursework from a CGU M.A., or a maximum
of 24 units transferred from an M.A. granted by another
institution, may be counted toward the M.Phil. Coursework,
distribution requirements, and the language requirement for
the M.Phil. are the same as those for the Ph.D.
DOCTORAL PROGRAM
Doctor of Philosophy Degree
Admission Requirements. A completed M.A. degree is a
prerequisite for admission to the 72-unit Ph.D. program. All
40 units of coursework from a CGU M.A., or a maximum of
24 units transferred from an M.A. granted by another institution, may be counted toward the Ph.D.
DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
Degree requirements include the following: 64 units of
coursework; 8 units of Independent Research/Dissertation
Research; two foreign languages; Ph.D. qualifying exams; a
dissertation proposal and formal advancement to candidacy;
and an oral exam on the completed dissertation. For students
who earned an M.A. degree at CGU, the 64 units of coursework will include six seminars of 4 units each. For students
who transfer in 24 units, the coursework requirement will
include ten seminars of 4 units each, usually taken over a twoyear period. The 8 units of Independent Research/
Dissertation Research are usually taken in the semesters
immediately following coursework. Thereafter, students must
register for Doctoral Study to maintain continuous registration until all degree requirements have been met. See
“Residence Requirements” and other institutional regulations
in the “Degree Regulations” section of this Bulletin.
Distribution Requirement. The 64 units of coursework
required for the degree must fulfill the distribution requirement as outlined above for the M.A. degree with one exception: the Ph.D. student must take one course in British literature before 1700 (not 1800).
Language and Research Tools. The Ph.D. student must
demonstrate a reading knowledge of two foreign languages
and is expected to take at least one language exam in classical Greek, Latin, French, or German. Any student wishing to
test in other languages on both exams must receive the prior
approval of the chair, or of the faculty member in charge of
the language exam. With prior approval, successful completion of a foreign language course (with a grade of B+ or better) while enrolled at CGU may substitute for the language
exam. Course work and exams taken prior to admission to
the CGU English Department cannot fulfill this language
requirement. Both language exams must be passed at least six
months prior to taking the Ph.D. qualifying exams.
With the approval of the supervisory committee, a Ph.D. student may substitute the second language requirement with
Digital Humanities (HUM 340), (research tool). No degree
units will be given for this research tool. This workshop is
normally offered during the summer session.
Transdisciplinary Course Requirement. All students who
enter the doctoral program after the fall 2004 semester are
required to complete the transdisciplinary course requirement within the first two years of their program. For details
on the requirement, see the “Doctor of Philosophy Degree”
section in this Bulletin.
Evaluation. Ph.D. students will be reviewed every year until
coursework has been completed. All students who are
enrolled in Ph.D. coursework must provide the review committee in timely fashion with a copy of a graded seminar
paper, an explanation for any low or incomplete grades, and
any other relevant data or documents requested by the review
committee. Students who do not receive the review committee’s permission to advance in the Ph.D. program will not be
allowed to continue and may elect to pursue the M.Phil.
degree.
51
Qualifying Examinations. Normally, the Ph.D. qualifying
exams are offered twice each year. The opportunity to take
the qualifying exams is not automatic. Formal permission
must be obtained from the CGU core faculty in English per
the “Evaluation” section above. To be eligible to take the
exams, the student must have a) successfully completed 64
units of coursework, satisfied the distribution requirements,
and rectified all outstanding Incompletes; b) passed the two
foreign language exams at least six months prior to the qualifying exam date; c) taken a minimum of one year to complete a preparatory course of readings in the major and minor

British; 4) nineteenth-century British; 5) twentieth-century
British; 6) American before 1800; 7) nineteenth-century
American; 8) twentieth-century American; and 9) film studies (minor only). The major field must include a demonstrated understanding of relevant critical theory, and one of
the fields must include an interdisciplinary component,
established in consultation with the professor responsible for
that field.
Dissertation Requirements. The student must prepare an
acceptable dissertation under the guidance of an appointed
dissertation committee and must pass an oral examination
on it. See the “Degree Regulations” section of this Bulletin.
Teaching Opportunities. For those who have completed an
M.A. degree, part-time teaching is available at many of the
community colleges and state university campuses in the
area. In addition, a number of writing centers and private
learning centers employ graduate students as tutors and writing consultants. Occasionally, advanced Ph.D. students have
the opportunity to teach undergraduate courses at The
Claremont Colleges.
CONCENTRATION
American Studies Program
Ph.D. students in English may choose a concentration in
American studies, an interdisciplinary field. Students will work
closely with a faculty advisor in the Department of English to
pursue an intellectually unified course of study that will include
seminars offered in the Department of English as well as seminars cross-listed with participating CGU humanities departments and The Claremont Colleges. A minimum of four seminars should be taken in English, and a minimum of two seminars in other disciplines. Some possible courses for the American
studies concentration include the following:
Puritanism and American Literature and Culture; 19th-Century
American Literature and Culture; Representations of the
Frontier in American Literature and Culture; The Jazz Aesthetic
in American Literature and Culture; the Harlem Renaissance;
American Migrations; American Women Writers and Feminism;
Multi-culturalism and American Literature; American Popular
Culture; American Literature and Film; Autobiography and
American Literature and Culture. Interested students should discuss this concentration with Professor Wendy Martin.
Early Modern Studies Program
Ph.D. students in English may choose a concentration in early
modern studies, an interdisciplinary field. Students will work
closely with an advisor in the Early Modern Studies Program to
pursue an intellectually unified course of study that will include
seminars cross-listed with participating CGU Humanities
departments and The Claremont Colleges. See full description
on page 63. Interested students should discuss this possibility
with the English Department chair.
Literary Theory Program
Ph.D. students in English may choose a concentration in literary theory, an interdisciplinary field. Students will work
closely with an English faculty advisor to pursue an intellectually unified course of study that will include seminars crosslisted with participating CGU humanities departments and
The Claremont Colleges. Interested students should discuss
this possibility with Professor Marc Redfield.
DUAL DEGREE
Dual Degree Program in
Management and the Humanities

Academic Program
Coordinated by the core faculty of the Graduate University,
the faculty in history draws on the combined faculties of The
Claremont Colleges with a resulting staff equivalent to that of a
major university. Yet, because of the unique organization of the
Graduate University, the history faculty can emphasize individual
instruction in seminars.
The History Department has followed a policy of limited enrollment so students have maximum access to staff and facilities. A
small number of students enter the program each year and are
carefully selected on the basis of interest and proven ability.
stitute the student’s major field of emphasis: the United
States, including the colonial period; Great Britain; early
modern Europe; modern Europe; or intellectual history. Each
student must take at least five history seminar courses in the
300 range, including HIST 300.
Research Paper. A candidate must write one substantive
research paper judged as acceptable for this requirement by
the history faculty.
Thesis. A candidate must demonstrate competence in
research by presenting a thesis. The thesis should be a work
based on original research in source materials.
The faculty in history offers three distinct programs, each leading
to advanced degrees in history. At the master’s degree level, the
comparatively conventional history program offers a wide variety of major fields (see below), and at the doctoral level the program offers concentrations in United States and European history. In addition, the faculty in history offer multidisciplinary programs in American studies and in European studies.
Interdisciplinary studies are especially important as they reflect
the multicultural elements in American and European history.
This emphasis is encouraged in all history degree programs.
Language Requirement. The candidate must demonstrate
reading proficiency in historical materials in one foreign language. This requirement may be met in any of the ways specified in the “Languages and Research Tools” section under the
“Doctor of Philosophy Degree” section that follows.
European studies students must demonstrate proficiency in
either French or German.
The history program provides advanced professional education
as preparation for a variety of careers. Traditionally, historians
have worked in academic settings as scholars and teachers, or in
closely related institutions such as libraries, archives, and museums. Increasingly, however, advanced education in history is
being regarded as broad-based humanistic training, equipping
students with research capabilities, analytical methods, and communications skills that are useful in many fields. The History
Department welcomes students who wish to teach in secondary
schools, community colleges, four-year universities, and students
who intend non-teaching careers.
Receiving an M.A. while working toward a Ph.D. A student admitted to the Ph.D. program after having received a
bachelor’s degree, is eligible to apply for a master’s degree
along the way to that Ph.D. However, if the student already
has an M.A., the student is not eligible to apply for another
M.A. from CGU.
Instruction in history is carried on in seminars. Classes are small
and each student’s program is designed individually. A favorable
student-faculty ratio allows for an unusual amount of individual
attention from faculty members. Students work with faculty
advisers in planning their course of study; candidates for the
Ph.D. work closely with a faculty committee composed of professors in the student’s fields of study.
The Libraries of The Claremont Colleges provide excellent
research facilities and resources. Also in Claremont is the library
of the Claremont School of Theology. The Huntington Library,
one of the world’s finest research libraries for English and
American history, is in nearby San Marino.
MASTER’S PROGRAM
Master of Arts Degree
Course Requirements. A candidate for the M.A. must complete a minimum of 36 units with grades of B or better. At
least 24 of these must be in history; the remaining 12 may be
either in history or in an allied discipline, subject to the
approval of the student’s advisor. A minimum of 16 units
must be in one of the following fields of history, and will con-
Residence Requirement. For residence and other general
requirements, see the “Degree Regulations” section in this
Bulletin.
Students who want to receive an M.A. while working toward
the Ph.D. should write a letter to the history faculty stating
their intention. They should have completed 36 units of
required master’s degree graduate courses at CGU, passed the
foreign language exam, and written two substantive research
papers using primary historical resources in CGU history
courses for which the student received grades of B+ or better.
The student should include the two research papers with the
letter and attach it to the Final Approval of Master’s Degree
Form. (@) If the student has met the three requirements
cited above, the student must file an Intent to Receive a
Degree Form (@) in the Office of Admission and Records
and the student will be granted an M.A. at the next degree
date specified in the “Academic Calendar” of The Bulletin.
DOCTORAL PROGRAM
Doctor of Philosophy Degree
For general requirements, see the section on “Degree
Regulations” in this Bulletin.
DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
Course Requirements. Course and dissertation research
unit registration must equal 72 units total. The student must
complete with grades of B or better at least 48 units of work
in history courses taught by the graduate faculty of The
Claremont Colleges, including HIST 300 and Tutorial

Reading courses but excluding research courses in the 400
range. If a student has completed graduate work in history at
another institution, transfer credit for up to 24 units may be
permitted. For requirements in American studies or
European studies, see the appropriate sections below.
Transdisciplinary Course Requirement. All students who
enter the doctoral program after the fall 2004 semester are
required to complete the transdisciplinary course requirement within the first two years of their program. For details
on the requirement, see the “Doctor of Philosophy Degree”
section in this Bulletin.
Residence Requirements. For residence and other requirements, see the section on “Degree Regulations” in this Bulletin.
Supervisory Committee. A student admitted into the doctoral program in history will be assigned an advisor. With faculty approval, the student’s advisor may be changed.
Research Papers. Before a student can take the qualifying
examinations, he/she must complete two substantive research
papers that come out of research seminars, graduate reading
courses, or tutorials with grades of B+ or better. The student’s
advisor will determine whether credit is given for a particular paper. Ph.D. students are expected to complete one substantive research paper by the end of their third semester.
Languages and Research Tools. The student must demonstrate proficiency in two foreign languages or in one foreign
language and an approved research tool. Foreign language
proficiency is demonstrated when the student passes a language exam for reading comprehension. European studies
students must demonstrate proficiency in French and
German; at the discretion of the supervisory committee, an
alternative language may be substituted if particularly pertinent to a student’s area of interest.
With the advisor’s approval, a Ph.D. student may substitute
the second language requirement with Digital Humanities
(HUM 340), (research tool). No degree units will be given for
this research tool. This workshop is normally offered during
the summer session.
With the approval of the supervisory committee, a student majoring in American history or American studies may substitute a
research tool for the second language, but no degree credit can
be given for courses taken as substitute research tools.
Qualifying Examinations.A demonstration of competence in
three fields (a major field and two minor fields) is required of all
history and American studies students. Students are eligible to
take qualifying exams upon completion of the required units of
coursework and completion of language requirements. Before a
student can take the qualifying examinations, he/she must complete two substantive research papers, as noted above under
“Research Papers.” The student should check with the doctoral
support secretary to make sure that his/her file is complete and
reflects eligibility for the qualifying exams.
The major field exam is four hours and each minor field exam is
three hours. Students are expected to take all three exams within
the same week and to take the one-hour oral exam (attended by
all three committee members) within two weeks of having completed and passed the written exams.Scheduling exams takes time
and energy and should be planned ahead with some flexibility.
Include the doctoral support secretary in the scheduling discussions with committee members because he/she reserves the room
and computer and oversees the paperwork.Students may not take
any notes, books, or computer disks into the exam room unless
by prior written permission of the professor giving the exam.
Dissertation Requirements. Every student must submit an
acceptable dissertation prospectus for approval by his/her dissertation committee. This committee, recommended by the History
Department chair in consultation with the student, consists of no
fewer than three members, one of whom serves as dissertation
supervisor. Each candidate must prepare an acceptable dissertation under the guidance of the supervisory committee, to be
defended in a final public oral examination. A draft of the dissertation, which takes into account the criticisms by the major
advisor and is acceptable to the major advisor, must be completed
by the deadline listed in the academic calendar located in the front
of The Bulletin. This draft must be in a form suitable for submission to the other readers. Deadlines for completion in final
form are also listed in the academic calendar.
CONCENTRATIONS
American Studies Program
The History Department offers advanced degrees in history with
a specialization (concentration) in American studies, designed
for graduate students who prefer a multidisciplinary approach to
the history and character of American culture and society. The
core of the CGU American studies program is American history.
The assumption of the program is that multidisciplinary studies enhance the study of American history, and degree programs
are intended to reflect that. Minor fields will be arranged individually between the student and his/her advisors to take advantage of the extensive resources of The Claremont Colleges and to
reflect the student’s interests and desired emphases in studying
the history of civilization in America. The minor fields should
support the major and can be drawn from existing faculties and
disciplines represented in The Claremont Colleges consortium.
Fields of Study. Students must demonstrate competence in
three fields (a major field and two minor fields). The major field
encompasses a period or thematic aspect of U.S. history (e.g. the
colonial period or western history). Students may choose their
two minor fields from among the following categories: thematic
approaches to U.S. history (e.g. Chicano history); a related discipline in the social sciences or humanities (e.g. American literature); a comparative topic outside the major field (e.g. modern
history); or an interdisciplinary thematic topic of the student’s
creation (e.g. urban problems, popular culture, science and technology, and American women’s literature). Students are expected
to work in disciplines other than history.At least one minor field
must reflect the multidisciplinary vantage point of American
studies. The student’s supervisory committee in consultation
with the chair of the program must approve the selection of
fields. At least one, but no more than two, U.S. historians serve
on a student’s committee.
55
Requirements for the M.A. Degree. See the “Degree
Regulations” section in this Bulletin for residence and other
general requirements. A candidate for the M.A. in American
studies must complete a minimum of 36 units; at least 16 of
these must be in American history. The remaining 20 units
must be taken in at least two fields of American studies, one
of which must be in an allied subject or discipline, to be
determined by the student in consultation with a faculty
advisor; at least 12 units must be taken in one of these fields.
For definition of fields of study, see above. Every master’s program must include HIST 300. Two seminars must be in
American history.
Requirements for the Ph.D. Degree. For general requirements, supervisory committee, research tools, preliminary
examinations, qualifying examinations, and dissertation
requirements, see the “Doctor of Philosophy Degree” section
above. The student must complete at least 48 units of work in
American studies courses taught by the graduate faculty of
The Claremont Colleges, including Tutorial Reading courses
but excluding research courses in the 400 range. At least 28
units must be in the major field of American history and the
remaining 20 units in two allied minor fields agreed upon by
the student in consultation with the student’s supervisory
committee. If a student has had graduate work in American
history or American studies at another institution, transfer
credit for up to 24 units may be recommended, but in no
instance will such credit be sufficient to meet any field
requirements in the doctoral program of Claremont
Graduate University. Courses, transfer credit, and dissertation research must equal at least 72 units.
European Studies Program
The student may bring to the European studies program an
undergraduate background in one of several disciplines in the
humanities and social sciences. For both the doctorate and the
master’s degree, every effort is made to encourage the student to
create an individual course of study in close consultation with
an advisor.
The program equips the student with new and traditional methods of research and with the skills to teach general courses in
European civilization, general humanities courses, interdisciplinary courses, and specialized courses in European cultural and
intellectual history.
Course offerings are tailored to the needs and concerns of students in the program, but the program’s emphasis lies in modern and early modern European cultural and intellectual history.
Requirements for the M.A. Degree. Eight of the required 36
units of graduate study must be in history, and at least five seminar courses must be in the 300 range, including HIST 300. Two
fields must be presented, with 16 units accumulated in the major
field and 8 in the minor. See the “Master of Arts Degree” section
above for thesis and language requirements.
Requirements for the Ph.D. Degree. The student will be
required to take at least 72 units of graduate courses including
dissertation research. Each student must complete at least six
300-level seminar courses, half of which must be in history, at or
under the auspices of Claremont Graduate University. A reading knowledge of a second European language must be demonstrated before the student can take the qualifying examinations.
Two major fields and one minor field will be covered in both
written and oral exams to be passed after the conclusion of formal coursework. For the minor field, a student may choose to
design an area of study; for example, the history of philosophy
from Kant to Heidegger or the development of the novel. See the
“Doctor of Philosophy Degree” section above for requirements
for qualifying examinations and the dissertation.
Oral History (research tool)
Since 1962, the Graduate University has offered training in oral
history, in recognition of the value of oral history as a research
technique for developing and preserving historical materials. The
program was the third university program of its kind to be established in California and one of the earliest nationwide.
The department offers an oral history research tool course once
a year. Students may take this course to fulfill a Ph.D. research
tool, but will not receive unit credit if they choose to do so.

Academic Program
The Music Department offers courses of study leading to the
degrees of Master of Arts, Doctor of Church Music, Doctor of
Musical Arts, and Doctor of Philosophy. In addition, three professional Master of Arts degrees are available that combine
musicology with sub-concentrations in music communications, arts administration, and information management.
These professional programs are terminal at the master’s level.
All programs are designed with special emphasis upon music
within its interdisciplinary, cultural, and intellectual context.
They combine comprehensive training in music literature, historical style analysis, and the study of performance practices.
The Doctor of Church Music and the Master of Arts degree
with a concentration in church music are offered in cooperation with the Claremont School of Theology.
The curriculum emphasizes uses of music technology for
research, teaching, and creative work. All music students have
the opportunity to receive music technology instruction in several contexts, including courses utilizing the department’s music
technology studios, which include computer music notation,
composition, performance, and film scoring techniques.
Admission Requirements. Applicants are required to
demonstrate special aptitude in their area of concentration.
Those wishing to major in performance or historical performance practices must audition either by recording or personal appearance. Applicants for a composition major should
submit representative examples of their work (in the form of
photocopies, not original manuscripts). Applicants in the field
of musicology, historical performance practices, or music education should submit examples of their written work in the
form of published articles or unpublished papers.
A diagnostic exam is required of incoming students, to be
taken during the first week of their first semester. This exam
is meant to assess new students’ skills in a range of areas,
including knowledge of historical periods and musical styles,
harmonic analysis, score reading, and essay writing. The exam
allows the faculty to identify areas in which a new student may
be particularly strong or weak and, in the latter case, to make
57
recommendations for remedies. These remedies may include
taking a particular course, doing independent work, etc.
Grades. Students are required to maintain a minimum grade
average of B.
Qualifying Examinations. All music students are required
to take written and oral qualifying examinations at regularly
scheduled, posted times during the academic year. In the case
of failure to pass either the written or oral examination, the
student may take a second examination upon recommendation of the student’s advisor and dean of the school. The second examination will be taken at the regularly scheduled time
during the following semester. The “Degree Regulations” section of this Bulletin may contain further information concerning qualifying examinations.
Participation and Attendance. All music students are
encouraged to take part in the performance groups of The
Claremont Colleges. Please see the heading “Ensembles” at
the end of the section for further information. Students also
are expected to attend concerts, lectures, and symposia presented by the Music Department.
Courses. Course requirements for each degree program, as
well as elective courses, are listed below.
Language Requirements. All students on the master’s level
must demonstrate reading proficiency in one language,
selected from French, German, Italian, Spanish, or Latin
(depending upon degree program and research interest). A
second language is required of all doctoral students as well as
master’s level students majoring in voice and choral conducting. For voice majors, 2 units of diction are required. The
diction requirement may be waived if taken as part of undergraduate voice studies. It is recommended that the language
requirement be completed within the first semester of master’s work or the second semester of doctoral work. Successful
completion of the language requirement is a prerequisite to
the scheduling of written and oral qualifying examinations.
Transfer Units. Master’s degree students may request the
transfer of a maximum of 6 units of appropriate coursework,
completed with a grade of B or better at other accredited
graduate institutions. Doctoral degree students may request
the transfer of a maximum of 24 units of appropriate coursework, completed with a grade of B or better at other accredited graduate institutions. Up to 30 units of credit for master’s degrees in music received from Claremont Graduate
University may be applied toward doctoral degrees. Transfer
units to be applied toward a degree should be requested
within the first two weeks of the semester in which a student
enters a graduate program.
Recitals and projects must be approved by the faculty of the
Music Department. Students must be enrolled for individual
lessons during any semester in which a recital is to be presented, unless the major teacher and the department chair
have approved an appropriate waiver.
Transdisciplinary Course Requirement. All students who
enter the doctoral program after the fall 2004 semester are
required to complete the transdisciplinary course require-
ment within the first two years of their program. For details
on the requirement, see the “Doctor of Philosophy Degree”
section in this Bulletin.
Other Requirements. For residence and other general
requirements, see the “Degree Regulations” section in this
Bulletin.

Academic Program
The Philosophy Department seeks to provide a solid foundation in the history of Western philosophy, approaching traditional problems and texts in the light of contemporary
interests and methods. Study and research focus on classic
texts from the ancient, modern (16th through 18th centuries), and contemporary periods. Students may also combine philosophy with other interests.
The faculty includes philosophers from the other Claremont
Colleges, who teach and advise at the graduate level, as well
as full-time CGU appointees. The program is enriched by visitors from other universities and countries and by the participation of accomplished adjunct faculty.
The department offers both a Master of Arts degree and a
Doctor of Philosophy degree. The M.A. program is designed
for students who seek either to expand their experience with
the Western philosophical tradition in preparation for pursuing professional degrees and occupations outside of philosophy, or to enrich their knowledge of the fundamental

strands of that tradition before moving on to more specialized study in Ph.D. programs in philosophy. The Ph.D. program admits at most a few students each year, typically graduates of the M.A. program who plan to specialize in the history of philosophy. Many graduates of our M.A. program go
on to Ph.D. programs elsewhere.
Advising. First-year students meet individually with advisors before they register for the first semester and again later
in the second semester to discuss their progress. Advanced
students are advised individually as needed.
MASTER’S PROGRAMS
Master of Arts Degree
The M.A. degree requires 40 units of coursework, which usually can be completed comfortably in two years of study.
Students may choose a concentration in:
• History of ancient philosophy
• History of modern philosophy
• Contemporary philosophy
61
All three concentrations require one course each in the following fields: ancient philosophy, modern philosophy, ethics
or value theory, metaphysics or epistemology, logic, and one
graduate humanities course not in philosophy.
The concentration in ancient philosophy requires, in addition, an advanced seminar in ancient philosophy and reading competence in ancient Greek. (The program offers
courses in ancient Greek to help students meet this competence requirement.) The concentration in modern philosophy requires an advanced seminar in modern philosophy and
reading competence in French, German, or Latin. The concentration in contemporary philosophy requires an advanced
seminar in contemporary philosophy, and reading competence in one approved foreign language.
DUAL DEGREE
M.A. in Philosophy/Ph.D. in Religion
The M.A. in Philosophy/Ph.D. in Religion dual degree program
is designed for students who need a strong general foundation
in philosophy to support their work in the philosophy of religion. It also constitutes a good dual qualification for teaching,
particularly in colleges with joint philosophy and religion
departments. Of the 40 units required for the M.A., 12 units
will be counted from philosophy of religion Ph.D. courses and
28 units will be required philosophy coursework. Course
requirements include Topics in Philosophy, Logic I, an
approved course in metaphysics or epistemology, an approved
course in ethics or value theory, an approved course in modern philosophy, an approved course in ancient philosophy, one
advanced seminar not in the philosophy of religion, and 12
units in the philosophy of religion (Ph.D. courses). The Ph.D.
component requires these 12 units in philosophy of religion
plus an additional 32 units. The student will complete a total
of 72 units for both degrees.
Transfer Credits. Up to 12 units may be transferred in on the
basis of previous graduate work; this total includes any transfer units credited toward the M.A. in philosophy. The student
will need to validate, on the basis of transcripts or breadth
exams (to be taken upon entrance), some competence in two
areas of religion other than the philosophy of religion, one of
which must be a religious tradition outside of the student’s
own. A reading knowledge of French and German is required.
Qualifying examinations are set for the individual student with
a view to his or her dissertation topic.
A dual degree program allows a student with an M.A. in philosophy from CGU to pursue an M.B.A. and a Ph.D. in philosophy, and complete the course requirements for both
degrees in three years. This program will be particularly useful to those planning management careers, in either the public
or the private sector, in which decisions touch on matters of
law and social policy.
Dual-Degree Master’s Program
Students enrolled in other programs at CGU may also pursue
an M.A. in philosophy in any of the above tracks upon admission to a dual degree program. For more information about
the dual degree in general, see the “Dual Degree Programs” section in this Bulletin.
DOCTORAL PROGRAM
Doctor of Philosophy Degree
Course Requirements. For the general requirements for the
Ph.D. degree, see the “Degree Regulations” section in this
Bulletin.
The Ph.D. degree requires 32 units beyond the CGU M.A.,
including two additional seminars.
Folio. The folio is the main basis for determining whether a
student has acquired the abilities necessary for dissertation
work. It should demonstrate the student’s mastery of technical
skills, capacity for both original and exegetical work, and
breadth of knowledge. It consists of three 4,000- to 5,000-word
papers on topics formulated by the student with consultation
of the faculty. Formal approval of these topics must be secured
at least one semester before the folio is submitted. A dissertation prospectus should be submitted with the folio, and the
student is advanced to candidacy after passing a qualifying oral
examination that concentrates on, but is not restricted to, the
folio and the dissertation prospectus. Students normally write
the folio in their third year of study.
Language and Research Tools. Students must demonstrate
a reading knowledge of two foreign languages before scheduling the qualifying oral examination on the folio.
With the advisor’s approval, a Ph.D. student may substitute the
second language requirement with Digital Humanities (HUM
340), (research tool). No degree units will be given for this
research tool. This workshop is normally offered during the
summer session.
Transdisciplinary Course Requirement. All students who
enter the doctoral program after the fall 2004 semester are
required to complete the transdisciplinary course requirement
within the first two years of their program. For details on the
requirement, see the “Doctor of Philosophy Degree” section in
this Bulletin.
Preliminary Oral Examination.On the basis of the dissertation prospectus and the qualifying oral examination, the qualifying examination committee recommends a dissertation
supervisory committee to direct work on the dissertation. No
later than one year after advancement to candidacy, the student takes a preliminary oral examination designed to test the
viability of the proposed dissertation and the student’s command of the area in which the dissertation falls.
Final Oral Examination. When the dissertation supervisory committee decides that the dissertation is complete
and ready for defense, the dean of the school approves a
committee to conduct the final oral examination. This
examination is open to all interested students and faculty,
and is designed to test both the quality of the dissertation
and the candidate’s general philosophical competence. The
Ph.D. degree is awarded only if the committee approves
both the dissertation and the oral examination.

Combined Programs
The variety of fields represented in the faculty and the flexibility of Graduate University programs make possible combined programs to suit many individual interests.
Community college teachers of philosophy who wish to
advance or refurbish their knowledge of the subject will find
it possible to combine work in philosophy and education.
Courses
Courses in such areas as epistemology, ethics, philosophy of
mind, political philosophy, and the philosophy of language,
as well as courses on figures or movements in the history of
philosophy are offered on a regular basis.
Seminars are usually planned and organized to conform to
the research interests of advanced graduate students and faculty. All courses and seminars carry 4 units of credit and,
since the material treated in a course may differ considerably
from year to year, courses may be repeated for credit with faculty approval. Students may petition to earn 2 to 4 units in
Tutorial Reading and in Independent Research for topics not
available in course and seminar offerings.

Academic Program
Claremont Graduate University has had active Ph.D. and
M.A. programs in psychology for more than 60 years, with
an overarching theme that blends social concern with psychological theory and methods. The Psychology Department
at CGU is dedicated to training psychologists for positions in
research, teaching, or administrative capacities in a variety of
settings such as academic institutions, government agencies,
non-profit organizations, and private-sector businesses.
The program is structured around six major areas of concentration:
• Applied social psychology
• Organizational behavior
• Applied cognitive psychology
• Applied developmental psychology
• Evaluation and applied methods
• Human resources design
Applied Orientation. A distinctive feature of the psychology program at Claremont Graduate University is its pioneering effort, begun in 1969, to develop and promote applicationoriented psychology. The application of social science knowledge, concepts, and methods to social issues and social systems
through research and practice is a central theme of the program.
Training emphasizes three primary components: (1) the development of methodological skills for collecting and analyzing
information in field settings; (2) scholarly work organized
around psychological and social concepts relevant to social
issues and social organizations; (3) practical experience in government agencies, public interest organizations, human service
agencies, or significant business and industrial settings.
Individual Character of the Program. Instruction at
Claremont Graduate University, concerned solely with graduate education, features close student-faculty relations. The
emphasis is on designing students’ programs so they will
include individual interests and career goals within the broader
framework of the chosen area of concentration in psychology.
Students participate fully in planning their programs and identifying the skills, experiences, studies, and achievements appropriate to their career interests. As students progress in their
graduate education, they are expected to become increasingly
independent in their professional decisions and responsibilities.
To achieve these ends, systematic as well as informal student and
faculty communication is necessary. Faculty view their advisory
function as a prime responsibility. In addition to regularly
scheduled program planning, there is an annual review of each
student’s progress by the graduate faculty in psychology.
Faculty.The faculty in psychology comprises appointees at the
Graduate University and faculty members of the other
Claremont Colleges who are members of the graduate faculty.
There is, of course, a wide range of substantive interests and special competencies within the entire faculty, and students are
encouraged to explore the faculty resources available to them
by both formal and informal means.
Facilities.The central physical facility for graduate work in psychology provides space and equipment for psychological
research and training. Psychology laboratories in the undergraduate colleges in the Claremont consortium are also available to graduate students. Additional research facilities include
the Academic Computing Center, the Riverside County
Department of Mental Health, and the Psychology
Department’s research center. Students are encouraged to conduct off-campus research in natural or field settings relevant to
their interests.
Admissions Requirements. Applications for admission to
the graduate program in psychology are reviewed for evidence of a strong career commitment to psychology, the
capacity for sustained, autonomous effort, and a high level of
intellectual functioning. A deliberate effort is made to include
a diversity of interests and experiences within the psychology
student body; students from minority groups are particularly
encouraged to apply. Age is not a factor. In general, applicants
are expected to have had a broad liberal education in the
humanities, mathematics, and the social, life, and physical sci-

ences, in addition to some undergraduate concentration in psychology. For some students, a year or more of leave between the
completion of undergraduate or master’s level work and the
beginning of graduate school is highly desirable to gain perspective, to solidify career goals, or to earn money.
Applicants are required to submit scores on the general tests of
the Graduate Record Examination, and the Advanced Psychology
GRE test is recommended.
Students are admitted mainly for the fall semester of the academic
year. Applications received by January 15th are given priority
consideration for financial aid for the subsequent fall semester.
Financial Aid. Fellowships, stipends, and assistantships are
awarded on the basis of merit on the recommendation of the
faculty in psychology. In addition, the department sponsors a
contract research center, which provides paid employment for
students. Research assistantships on faculty research grants are
often available, as well as paid, part-time teaching at the numerous community, state, and private colleges in the area. There
also are part-time employment opportunities in a variety of
local public and private organizations, some of which have a
continuing relationship with the department.
MASTER’S PROGRAMS
Master of Arts in Psychology
The master’s program prepares participants to assume professional roles in public service, business, and industry or to
advance to doctoral study. (See the “Degree Regulations” section of this Bulletin.)
Co-Concentration M.A. (No Thesis)
Participants in the Co-Concentration M.A. incorporate their
choice of cognitive, developmental, organizational, or social
psychology with evaluation to form a strong background in
psychology and evaluation science. The degree requires 48
units of work, including 12 units in evaluation, 12 units in
methods, 12 units in the chosen concentration area within
psychology, and 12 units of electives. A thesis is not required
for this degree.
M.A. Degree (Thesis)
The M.A. degree requires 48 units of work in psychology
including (a) two psychology core courses (b) 8 units of
Advanced Statistical Methods (PSYCH 308); (c) 4 units of
Research Methods (PSYCH 302); (d) 4 units of Directed
Research (PSYCH 306); and (e) a thesis. Degree requirements
for the M.S. in Human Resources Design can be found in the
“Human Resources Design” section of this Bulletin.
DOCTORAL PROGRAM
Ph.D. in Psychology
The doctoral program prepares participants primarily for
scholarly careers and for leadership roles in organizations. A
total of 72 units is required.
Academic Program. The program leading to the Ph.D.
degree in psychology is organized around five defined major
concentration areas:
• Social psychology
• Organizational behavior
• Cognitive psychology
• Applied developmental psychology
• Evaluation and applied methods
The course of study is governed by the general Graduate
University regulations for the Ph.D. degree (See the “Degree
Regulations” section of this Bulletin).
Students who enter graduate study in psychology with a master’s degree must either present evidence of having completed
an empirical master’s thesis or complete a master’s project under
supervision of CGU faculty members. Every student is expected
to be engaged in a research project every semester. It also is
expected that all students will regularly attend colloquia and
research discussion groups as part of their education
DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
Research Assistantships. As an important element in the
educational experience, all new students are required to participate in faculty-directed research by enrolling in Directed
Research (PSYCH 306) for their first two semesters.
Field Experience. All students are required to have at least
one semester’s field experience, either as a teacher or a teaching assistant in conjunction with Seminar in Teaching of
Psychology (PSYCH 310), or in an assignment related to Field
Placement (PSYCH 450).
Research Tools. In lieu of a specific language requirement,
demonstrated proficiency in two research tools tailored to
individual needs is required. Faculty approval of the specific
tools and satisfactory evidence of their mastery should be
presented during the first three years of graduate study.
Qualifying Seminars. A series of qualifying seminars provides basic foundations in the major concentrations as well as
the primary mechanism for the qualifying examination procedure. The roster of qualifying seminars changes from time
to time but typically includes two or more specifically designated seminars in each of the concentration areas (see course
listings under “Qualifying Courses”). Each student is required
to take and pass qualifying seminars in their area of major
concentration within the first three years of graduate study,
as follows: either four social seminars, two organizational
seminars, three cognitive seminars, or four developmental
seminars. To obtain qualifying examination credit, a qualifying seminar must be passed at the B- level or higher.
Portfolio. Each student is required to assemble a portfolio to
provide evidence of professional development within an area
of career specialization. The portfolio must contain a minimum of six different products or experiences, accumulated
67
over the period of graduate study, that are relevant to the professional goals and specialization area defined by the student
in consultation with the supervisory committee. Final
approval of the portfolio should be obtained by the end of
the third year of graduate study, or the fourth year if fewer
than 40 units are taken during the first two years.
Oral Qualifying Examination. The oral examination is
intended to demonstrate the student’s ability to organize,
integrate, and evaluate knowledge in the area of concentration. Satisfactory completion of qualifying requirements and
approval of a dissertation proposal are prerequisites to
advancement to candidacy for the Ph.D. degree.
Dissertation. Each candidate must submit acceptable dissertation research conducted with the approval of an advisory committee and must take an oral examination upon the
dissertation and related work.
Interfield and Dual Degrees
Work in psychology may be combined with studies in
another field for an interfield degree (one degree) or dual
degrees (two degrees in different disciplines). Admission
must be obtained through the chairperson of both graduate
faculties concerned for such programs. Application to an
interfield or dual-degree program should be made early in
the first year at CGU. See the “Special Academic Programs”
and “Dual Degree” sections of this Bulletin for further details.
Additional Degree Requirements
Advising Committee. Students plan their program, including
choice of major and specialty areas, in collaboration with a twoperson faculty supervisory committee. Each student selects a
faculty advisor who serves as chairperson of the supervisory
committee.

Admissions
Applications are accepted throughout the year, although applications received by January 15 receive priority consideration for
financial aid for fall admission. Applicants are admitted on the
basis of letters of recommendation, a personal statement, GRE
or GMAT scores, a résumé, and undergraduate transcripts. A
personal interview with the program staff is recommended.
While most students are employed in the human resources profession, other qualified students also are accepted.
MASTER’S PROGRAM
Master of Science Degree
The M.S. in human resources design consists of 36 units comprised of 18 2-unit courses. Each semester is divided into two
modules and each module is seven weeks in length. Courses are
offered in the evening and on Saturdays. Two semesters and a
summer session are offered every year.
Students with limited work experience in the human resources
profession are required to take a 4-unit prerequisite course,
Principles of Human Resources Management (HRD 300).
Students enrolled in the M.S.H.R.D. program are required to
maintain a G.P.A. of 3.0 (B). Any student who falls below this
standard will be allowed one semester of coursework in which to
raise their G.P.A.
Dual degree options also are available to H.R.D. students. The
most popular combinations are the M.S. in H.R.D./M.A. in psychology and the M.S. in H.R.D. and M.B.A. Please contact the

Vision Statement
A socially just nation educates all its diverse citizens through networks of effective and accountable organizations that
interact responsibly with families and communities. These organizations require leaders in classrooms, schools, communities, colleges, and capitols who are broadly educated across disciplines and across multiple philosophic and political perspectives. These leaders are committed to thought and action, scholarship and stewardship. They are the system’s most
responsible critics and its most prolific architects.
SES offers full- and part-time programs, enabling working professionals to complete an advanced degree while maintaining full-time employment. Graduate study at CGU emphasizes a student-centered program where the richly diverse
student body interacts closely with a diverse, engaged, and exceptional faculty.

Academic Program
The School of Educational Studies (SES) offers individually
designed M.A. and Ph.D. degree programs in education, a
teacher education credential/M.A. program (single and multiple subject), an urban leadership cohort program that combines the Ph.D. and the Professional (second tier)
Administrative Services Credential, and a small, joint Ph.D.
program with San Diego State University.
MASTER’S PROGRAMS
Master of Arts Degree
The School of Educational Studies offers several Master of
Arts programs:
• Teacher Education Internship Program
(M.A./ Credential) consisting of 36 units
• Master of Arts in Education, a 30-unit program
• Other Concentrations

Special education
It requires 30 semester units of coursework (maximum of 6
semester units transferred from prior graduate work within
the last five years). The program follows general institutional
rules for the degree. After obtaining the approval of their
advisor, candidates write a thesis or critique. Candidates for
a master’s may take up to 2 units of thesis or critique.
DOCTORAL PROGRAMS
Doctor of Philosophy Degree
The Ph.D. in Education is offered in three program plans:
(1) an individualized Ph.D. that is designed to maximize the
opportunity for idividualized and interdisciplinary studies
The Teacher Education Internship Program (M.A./
Credential). The Teacher Education Internship Program offers
coursework leading to the multiple subject, single subject, and
education specialist credentials. Because the program is both a
master’s and a credentialing program, the CGU institutional
degree requirements and the California State credentialing
requirements must be met.
(2) the Ph.D. with an emphasis in Urban Educational
Administration, a cohort-based program that integrates
requirements for the Professional Administrative Services
Credential into the Ph.D.
The CGU Teacher Education Internship Program combines
opportunities for full-time employment in urban schools with
the opportunity to earn both a teaching credential and M.A. in
four semesters. After successful completion of an initial summer
(or spring and summer) term, students are eligible for an internship credential.
Individualized Ph.D.The faculty in education believes that it
may best assist students in their pursuit of their goals by providing faculty who can assist students in designing their own
Ph.D. program. In consultation with faculty, students develop
programs tailored to their particular backgrounds, interests
and future goals. Students are allowed to combine education
courses with disciplines outside education. Students may also
emphasize one or more of the following areas:
The four steps to completing the program include:
(1) First summer (or spring and first summer) during which
the student enrolls in 12 units of coursework and is placed
with a cooperating teacher in a nearby school district for
field experience.
(2) Fall semester involves 6 units of coursework with mentoring from a faculty advisor while teaching in a school
district. Ten full-day Saturday sessions continue coursework and students also engage in an in-depth ethnographic study.
(3) Spring semester requires 6 units of coursework in ten fullday Saturday sessions while continuing internship teaching. Faculty advisors continue to mentor the intern and
the ethnographic study is expanded.
(4) Second summer involves 12 units of post-internship graduate study, including eight units of elective courses that
allow students to explore interests in educational philosophy, theory, curriculum, administration, and/or policy.
(3) Joint Ph.D. program with San Diego State University (see
pg. 73).

Transdisciplinary Course Requirement. All students who
enter the doctoral program after the fall 2004 semester are
required to complete the transdisciplinary course requirement within the first two years of their program. For details
and exemptions on the requirement, see the “Doctor of
Philosophy Degree” section in this Bulletin.
Faculty Advisor. When students are admitted, they are
assigned a faculty advisor based on interests expressed in their
application. The advisor assists the student in selecting seminars, and in planning their program of study. As student
interests change and develop during coursework, the student
may identify a different faculty member as advisor with
whom they wish to work. Upon the willingness of the new
faculty member to serve as the advisor, an advisor change
may be made. The faculty advisor who guides the student in
developing a program of study serves as chair of the
Supervisory Committee and may also serve as the dissertation chair, or a different faculty member may be selected by
the student, based on the agreement of the faculty member.
Program Supervisory Committee. During the first three
terms, or upon completion of approximately 16 units of
coursework, the student identifies their program supervisory
committee. At least three faculty members agree to serve on
the program supervisory committee. These faculty members
supervise the four qualifying examinations. One faculty
member may supervise two qualifying areas. The chair must
be a member of the education faculty. One member of the
committee may be drawn from the wider CGU graduate faculty, which includes professors from the other CGU fields and
elected members from the other Claremont Colleges. The
other elected members are listed in the CGU catalog. The
program supervisory committee works with the student on
the following:
Program Outline. During the first three terms, or after completion of approximately 16 units of coursework, a program
outline is developed in consultation with the chair of the program supervisory committee. The program outline includes
a list of coursework taken and proposed, four qualifying
examination areas and qualifying committee faculty, transfer
of credit, and research tools. The program outline is submitted to the program supervisory committee for signature and
filing in the education office. Students who wish to change
elements in their doctoral program must obtain the consent
of their advisor. Faculty members of the committee may be
changed with the approval of the dean.
Research Tools. Proficiency in two research tools is required.
Their purpose is to assure proficiency in research methodologies most likely to be used in the dissertation and in the
graduate’s career. Both research tools are to be completed and
an approved Research Tool Form (@) must be submitted to
the Office of Admission and Records for posting to the student’s academic record prior to the qualifying oral examination.
Residence. Students must complete 24 units within 24
months or six terms of study to meet the residency requirement. For additional information, see the section on “Degree
Regulations” in this Bulletin.
Written Qualifying Examinations. Written material is
required, which, in the judgment of faculty, demonstrates
proficiency in the four areas selected in the program outline.
Such material can take a variety of forms: examinations, published articles, essays, research studies, copies of public lectures planned in cooperation with members of the committee, films, etc. The written qualifying examinations may be
submitted over the course of study, once the program outline
has been approved. The written qualifying material and any
other evaluation evidence approved by faculty is filed in the
education office.
Oral Qualifying Examination. The student takes the oral
examination after (1) satisfaction of the residence requirement, (2) all written qualifying examinations have been
passed, (3) all coursework is completed or the last course is in
progress, and (4) completion of two research tools.
Dissertation Committee. The committee supervises the
dissertation and is frequently identical to the program supervisory committee. The same principles apply to the composition and selection of the program supervisory committee
and the dissertation committee, with the exception of the
outside examiner. Outside examiners are not utilized at the
qualifying examination. The dissertation committee consists
of the dissertation chair and at least two other faculty members. Two of the members, including the chair, must be faculty in education at CGU. However, all members must
belong to the graduate faculty at CGU. In the case of a fourperson committee, the fourth and final member of the committee may be a faculty member from another institution, or
a qualified practitioner in the field of the dissertation.
Advancement to Candidacy. Formal advancement to candidacy for the Ph.D. is obtained after approval of the dissertation proposal by the dissertation committee, which signs
the Advancement to Candidacy Form. (@)
Institutional Review Board. Students work closely with the
dissertation committee chair during dissertation proposal
development to ensure that they follow correct procedures
for review of research methodology by the CGU Institutional
Review Board (I.R.B.). In the interests of protecting the rights
and welfare of individuals recruited for, or participating in,
research conducted by faculty or students under the auspices
of CGU, the University maintains the IRB. CGU policy
requires that research with human subjects, regardless of
funding support, be reviewed by the IRB for the protection of
human subjects in compliance with federal guidelines.
Further details can be found in the CGU handbook
www.cgu.edu/handbook.
Dissertation and Final Oral Dissertation Defense. When
the members of the dissertation committee have approved the
dissertation for oral defense, a 350-word abstract is prepared; the
73
final oral defense is then scheduled. Upon successful completion
of the final oral examination and dissertation committee
approval of the final draft, the dissertation and one copy is submitted to the Office of Admission and Records. Requirements
for the manuscript preparation may be found on the Student
Records website (www.cgu.edu/degree_completion).
SPECIAL DOCTORAL PROGRAMS
Doctor of Philosophy in Urban
Education Administration/
Administrative Services Credential
The Ph.D. program in urban education administration is
designed to meet the needs of urban K-14 educational leaders. California’s requirements for the Professional
Administrative Services Credential are integrated into the
course requirements of the program. The program is
designed around the needs of scholar-practitioners holding
leadership roles in urban schools. The cohort design involves
a mutually supportive group of leaders who progress through
the coursework together. Core classes are offered on Friday
nights and Saturdays. Students in this Ph.D. program working as school administrators and possessing the Preliminary
Administrative Services Credential may apply for the
Professional Administrative Services Credential upon satisfactory completion of the program. All other requirements
of the Ph.D. (listed above) apply to students in this program.
Joint Ph.D. Program with San Diego
State University
Students must be admitted jointly by the cooperating institutions and are advised by a joint committee. The committees consist of two full-time faculty from each campus. The
equivalent of one academic year of work is taken at the San
Diego State University campus. The equivalent of a second
year is taken at Claremont Graduate University. The entire
program is jointly supervised, and admission requires a master’s degree and is open to students residing in San Diego and
Imperial Counties. For further information, contact CGU’s
School of Educational Studies or the Office of Graduate
Programs, San Diego State University, San Diego, CA 92182
RESOURCES
Claremont Graduate University has a number of distinctive
resources that enrich the program for students in education.
The Claremont Education Letter, published by the faculty of the
School of Educational Studies, seeks to inform the wider public
of critical issues in education, present the various voices on particular issues, and make recommendations that will advance
their resolution toward a more just and accountable education.
The Howard R. Bowen Institute for Policy Studies in Higher
Education sponsors the Hausam-Fisk Colloquium, the Higher
Education Abstracts, and other activities associated with leadership in higher education.
The Institute for Developmental Studies, which includes the
George G. Stone Center for Children’s Literature, sponsors
research into human growth and development and disseminates information through publications, conferences, and
other activities. The Claremont Reading Conference brings to
campus teachers and scholars and publishes the Reading
Conference Yearbook.
The Institute for Education in Transformation, established in
1991 with a grant from the Kluge Foundation, seeks to increase
dialogue among public school teachers, administrators, students, parents, and the CGU Faculty in Education to advance
the equitable and ethical transformation of the classroom. The
institute produces the popular report on schooling in America,
Voices From Inside: A Report on Schooling from Inside the
Classroom.
Institute for Social Justice and Accountability. There are important conversations and efforts occurring nationally about linking equity issues with accountability. The Institute’s focus is on
successful efforts in schools that serve largely minority and
poor populations (known in some areas as “90/90/90” schools).
In addition to focusing on interrupting patterns of failure in
schools, we now have a number of faculty interested in
resilience—that is the factors that facilitate the success of individuals in spite of challenges in their environment. Work on
institutions from K-16, and individuals, that break the usual
cycles of failure will form the core of the Institute’s work. The
Institute will not only sponsor additional research in this area,
but also will maintain an active website that brings together
national and state efforts. The site provides a location for work
around the country and for databases that develop the emerging knowledge base and best practices for interrupting the cycle
of failure in schools. The Institute also convenes groups to discuss current issues and future directions related to practices
and research concerning success in schools.

The mission of the School of Information Systems and Technology is to prepare outstanding transdisciplinary professionals and educators to assume leadership positions in integrating information, technology, and management into diverse
and global organizations and cultures. We teach and do research in the management of information systems and associated fields. The school integrates two cultures: technology and management. It educates both professionals who are already
or will be capable of managing information technology resources, and researchers in studying the diverse aspects of the
impact of technology on organizations and society, and in innovating new systems technologies. Two degree programs are
offered by the School of Information Systems and Technology: a Ph.D. in the management of information systems and
technology and a Master of Science in information systems and technology. The school also operates a number of research
laboratories: Claremont Information and Technology Institute (CITI), Intelligent Systems Laboratory (ISL), Network
Convergence Laboratory (NCL), and the Social Learning Software Laboratory (SL2).

Academic Program
The School of Information Systems and Technology treats
information as a resource that is subject to managerial planning and control, much like other resources such as land, labor,
and capital. The doctoral (Ph.D. in the management of information systems and technology) and master’s (M.S. in information systems and technology) programs offer a judicious
combination of technical, organizational, and systems elements
in the curricula. The degree programs are designed to enable

future managers to interact effectively with the technical specialists in their organization, and to enable the technical specialists to be more sensitive to the management of computer
information systems and information technology. It is precisely
this integrated approach that distinguishes Claremont
Graduate University’s vision of Information Systems and
Technology from a more modest data-processing emphasis, or
from the highly technical and theoretical training characteristic of computer science programs.
77
All degree programs are offered in two formats: full-time or parttime. Typically, a full-time student can complete a 44-unit degree
program in 18 months. Part-time students can move through
their master’s program at their own pace subject to time requirements/limits imposed by the University. Courses are oriented to
the different background and experience levels of the students
and classes are offered during the days, evenings, and weekends.
For some degree programs, students may request transfer credit
of units of equivalent graduate level work from an accredited
institution. Transfer of credits requires approval by petition and
is not automatic.
All degree programs meet the exacting standards established by
the Association for Information Systems model curriculum.
These standards represent the collective thinking of many of the
experts most actively involved in the discipline of information
systems. While taking advantage of existing strengths at CGU in
the areas of management, social science, and applied mathematics, the innovative information systems and technology
degree programs draw as well upon the combined computer science and organizational studies strengths of the affiliated
Claremont Colleges.
CERTIFICATE PROGRAMS
The School of Information Systems and Technology offers customized corporate certificate programs, each encompassing 16
units of coursework. A student who takes a certificate program
will also be eligible to earn a Master’s of Science in information systems and technology (M.S.) or a Doctorate (Ph.D.) in
the management of information systems and technology in
that all coursework taken may be applied to the requirements
for those programs.

The concentrations include a set of four courses for a total of 16
units, with at least one course from each of two broad areas: technology/tools and management/strategy. The concentrations generally fall within the field strengths of the core faculty. In addition, a student will be able to customize his or her own concentration. The customized concentration allows students to select
a set of courses that would meet their needs, but keeping the
principle that at least one course must come from each of the
two areas, and no more than 8 units can be taken (or transferred
from) outside I.S. In all cases, independent study classes can be
used for concentration credits. Courses may apply to more than
one concentration area (e.g., Internet Technology applies to both
the electronic commerce and telecom concentrations).
Additional courses offered by other schools at CGU, courses
transferred into the degree, or independent study courses can be
used to earn concentration units (see chart on page 79).

Transfer Units. Students who have completed graduate
courses in the competencies from accredited institutions will
be able to transfer units into the program. Up to 8 units of
transfer will be considered, although there may not be a full
equivalency of units earned outside CGU to those required by
CGU. In these cases, up to 8 additional transfer units may be
considered for other I.S.-related courses taken at the graduate
level at another accredited institution.

DOCTORAL PROGRAM
Doctor of Philosophy Degree
This 76-unit degree program in the management of information system and technology is designed to prepare graduates to make advanced contributions either in university or
applied organizational settings. The design of the Ph.D. program in management of information systems and technology is based on the assumption that to carry out advanced
research and professional work in this field, the graduate
must have broad, basic knowledge in the major areas of information systems and technology and management; knowledge
in a cognate discipline such as economics, mathematics, psychology, or computer science; and the capability of conducting and reporting on research that is original, independent,
and makes a meaningful contribution to the field. Admission
to the Ph.D. normally requires satisfactory completion of the
M.S., M.B.A., or a master’s degree in a cognate discipline.
COURSE REQUIREMENTS
Students pursuing the Ph.D. degree must take the following
course components (see the School’s website, www.ist.cgu.edu,
for details on how individual courses fit into the following components):
• Information Systems Core Courses
20 units
• Information Systems Advanced Electives
12 units
• Cognate Minor Fields
24 units
• Doctoral Research Seminars
20 units
The cognate minor field requirement consists of 24 units of
coursework outside of the Information Systems and Technology
curriculum in a field of specialization applicable to the dissertation, such as Computer Science, Economics, Operations
Research, Psychology, or Management. The purpose of this
requirement is to provide students with a solid foundation upon
which to base research. Up to 24 units may be transferred from
previous graduate work (subject to CGU standards).
Three competency courses that do not count towards the
76 units. The following three courses may be transferred as part
of the 24 units if taken for graduate credit, waived via an exam
administered on campus, or taken at CGU.

Transdisciplinary Course Requirement. All students who
enter the doctoral program after the fall 2004 semester are
required to complete the transdisciplinary course requirement within the first two years of their program. For details
on the requirement, see the “Doctor of Philosophy Degree”
section in this Bulletin.
Grade Standards. Ph.D. students must maintain a minimum 3.5 G.P.A. to remain in good standing. Students who
fall below this level may be withdrawn from the School of
Information Systems and Technology.
Screening Examination. The screening examination is
designed to validate doctoral students’ knowledge of the basic
material in the field and the ability to integrate that material.
See the school’s website for current examination policies and
procedures.
Qualifying Portfolio. Students are required to compile a
portfolio of faculty-approved items including a conference
paper, a journal article, a “preparing future faculty course,”
or equivalent experience, article reviews, and a grant-writing
experience. A portfolio is completed by way of a final oral
examination. See the school office for current policies.
Students who have completed the M.S., as well as 12 units of
a cognate minor and who are unable to complete the Ph.D.
may apply for the M.S. in the management in information
systems and technology degree.
Dissertation Requirements. A student is advanced to candidacy after passing the screening examination and defending a dissertation proposal. The student must submit an
acceptable dissertation proposal for approval by the dissertation committee. This committee, recommended by the dean
of the school in consultation with the student, consists of no
less than three members, one of whom serves as dissertation
chair. Each candidate must prepare an acceptable dissertation
under the guidance of the dissertation committee, to be
defended in a final oral examination.
For further information regarding the qualifying portfolio,
advancement to candidacy, and the final oral defense, see the
“Doctor of Philosophy Degree” section under “Degree
Regulations” in this Bulletin.
Research Activities. The Claremont Information and
Technology Institute (CITI), the Intelligent Systems Laboratory
(ISL), the Network Convergence Laboratory (NCL), and the
Social Learning Software Laboratory (SL2 ) house research activities within the school. Examples of projects undertaken include
strategic planning for community telecommunications systems,
technology assessment of new transportation systems, business
planning for private and nonprofit Internet services, implementation of electronic medical records, development of middleware and video over IP applications, development of data and
text mining systems, and development of an intelligent online
discussion board.

Message from the Dean of the Peter F. Drucker and Masatoshi Ito Graduate School of Management
“A Different School of Thought”
The decision to enroll in a graduate management program is an important decision and we thank you for considering our
prestigious school. We know that after reading more about our mission, management philosophy, curriculum, and faculty
you will realize why the Peter F. Drucker and Masatoshi Ito Graduate School is truly a different school of thought.
The Peter F. Drucker and Masatoshi Ito Graduate School of Management (Drucker School) provides a unique educational
experience, which we believe differentiates us from other graduate business programs. Our small-scale Claremont campus
provides a rich experience that is not easily duplicated. Classes are small and curricula flexible. We link electronically to the
world, yet preserve intimate places to meet face-to-face, to converse, to debate, and to reflect on our rich learning experience.
We are globally focused, drawing students from over 20 countries. Our students include those who enroll directly in our programs, as well as executives and others beyond our institutional boundaries who partner with us in a variety of ways in the search
for understanding. We are committed to lifelong learning for our graduates—a lifetime relationship with the Drucker School,
filled with opportunities for intellectual refreshment and professional renewal. In this remarkable place, we are building a lifetime of relationships with one another, the Drucker School, the University, and our corporate friends and neighbors.

Academic Program
The Peter F. Drucker and Masatoshi Ito (Drucker School)
Executive Management Program offers executives (mid-career
and beyond) programs in strategy, leadership, core business
management, and non-profit management. Applicants must
demonstrate professional experience and the potential for contribution to the program’s participative learning environment.
Active Claremont Colleges Faculty
The Drucker School offers several executive management
options:
(1) Certificates in General Management, Strategy, or Leadership.
(2) Master of Arts in Management (M.A.).
(3) Executive Master of Business Administration (E.M.B.A.).
(4) Master of Science in Advanced Management (M.S.A.M.).
81
The modular format of the executive management curriculum
provides participants with a flexible, highly individualized educational experience. The curriculum, generally offered in 2-unit,
seven-week evening and Saturday sessions, covers the concepts,
concerns, functions, and processes essential to the practice of
management.
Admission Requirements. Admission to executive programs
is possible at the beginning of any of the six seven-week modules offered each year.
The executive management admission process involves careful
examination of each applicant’s managerial experience, academic background, and professional and educational goals.
Applicants must demonstrate, except in cases of unusually rapid
advancement, at least five years of mid-to-senior-level management or professional experience.
Applicants must submit an application, a current résumé, a
statement of career goals, three letters of recommendation, official copies of all undergraduate and graduate transcripts,
including a transcript indicating completion of a bachelor’s
degree granted by an accredited college or university. Applicants
to the executive program are also required to participate in an
interview with a member of the admissions team. For international applicants, scores from the Test of English as a Foreign
Language (TOEFL) are required.
All CGU students from other schools or departments must
meet the management experience requirement.
MASTER’S PROGRAMS
Master of Arts in Management
(M.A.) Degree
The Master of Arts in management is a specialty management
degree that provides an integrated view of management theory
and practice, particularly for managers from the non-profit or
public sectors. Participants complete 16 units of management
foundation courses, 8 units of focus in either strategy or leadership, and 8 units of electives, for a total of 32 units.
Executive Master of Business
Administration (E.M.B.A.) Degree
The E.M.B.A. provides a thorough foundation in the functions
and processes of management. It consists of 18 units in business management foundations, 8 units in strategy, and 22 units
of electives for a total of 48 units.
The executive core courses (18 units) within this area are:
Financial & Managerial Accounting (4 units), Financial
Management (4 units), Marketing Management (2 units),
Quantitative Methods (4 units), Organizational Behavior (2
units), and Information Technology (2 units).
Enrollment Policies. The Drucker School welcomes experienced executives, matriculating from other CGU departments,
to take executive management classes with prior approval of
both their program advisor and the director of the Executive
Management Program.
Strategy (8 units). The Drucker School’s senior faculty
develop these courses from their unique research, allowing the
participant to delve deeply into the integration of strategy in
other management subjects.
CERTIFICATE PROGRAMS
Electives (22 units). The electives offer courses on a variety
of subjects, allowing each participant to craft a program of study
to meet specific interests and needs.
• General Management (12 units)
• Leadership (8 units)
• Strategy (8 units)
Executive management certificates provide managers with the
opportunity to do advanced study in selected management topics. For some participants, certificates provide an introduction
to graduate management education, and for others they prove
to be valuable in updating past graduate degree work and
exploring the latest advances relevant to their practice of management.
Three certificate programs are currently available, focusing on
General Management (12 units), Leadership (8 units), and
Strategy (8 units). Participants in certificate programs may
apply for admission to a degree program. All certificate work
completed for graded credit applies toward the total units
required for a degree upon admission to that degree program.
Students enrolled in other CGU degree programs wishing to
earn a certificate in executive management may apply.
Certificate courses must meet the distribution requirements
outlined in the department brochure. Units from other departments do not count toward the Executive Management certificate series.
Participants who have received the Drucker M.A. degree may
elect to complete the additional admission and degree requirements for the E.M.B.A. by applying 16 units of the M.A. degree
coursework to the E.M.B.A. degree. Participants who have
not completed the M.A.degree may transfer all of the completed coursework of the M.A. to the E.M.B.A., as long as all
E.M.B.A. course requirements are met.
Master of Science in Advanced
Management (M.S.A.M.) Degree
The Master of Science in advanced management (M.S.A.M.)
is ideal for senior managers who received M.B.A. degrees
early in their careers, or who have completed the E.M.B.A.,
but desire additional education to match their changing
responsibilities.
The degree requires 32 units of coursework and is structured
for maximum flexibility. Eight units must be completed in
Strategy and Leadership. The remaining units can be tailored
to the individual’s interests.

Academic Program
The Peter F. Drucker and Masatoshi Ito Graduate School of
Management (Drucker School) M.B.A. Program provides a
unique graduate management education and experience that
differentiates us from other schools of management. We are
committed to developing and enriching tomorrow’s leaders by
weaving Peter Drucker’s perspective of the liberal art of management throughout the entire Drucker School experience—
this represents the Drucker Advantage: A different school of
thought.
It is our intention that our graduates develop an unsurpassed
understanding of management-related topics. Courses are constantly updated to reflect leading practices based on the insights
of our own faculty plus contributions from pre-eminent global
management practitioners and other academic researchers.
Drucker School students are challenged to develop a comprehensive analytical and technical skill set as well as a keen understanding of the practice of management and skills for effective
leadership. In this context, we are widely recognized for academic rigor, exceptional teaching, and a highly personalized
and supportive environment.
The Drucker School faculty, their research, teaching, and service reflect the core assets of the Drucker Advantage. Our faculty is a team whose first and primary purpose is to enhance
the professional lives of our students and through them to
improve the organizations they lead. Teaching the liberal art of
management brings us together with the reality of the world in
which we live—our social, institutional, and intellectual his-
tory as well as our social and ethical responsibilities. We equip
our students not only for the workplace realities of today, but
also for the new realities of the global economy that awaits
them tomorrow.
Admission Process. Applicants to the management program
at the Drucker School must submit a completed application,
application fee, GMAT score, official undergraduate and graduate school transcripts, a résumé, three letters of reference, and
a personal statement. TOEFL scores are required for applicants
for whom English is not a native language and who do not hold
a degree from a U.S. college or university. These students must
submit the TOEFL score in addition to the GMAT score.
The Drucker Ito School M.B.A. candidate is a well-rounded
individual with highly-developed writing, analytical and communication skills. Candidates usually possess three to five years
of professional work experience and have completed the equivalent of a U.S. bachelor’s degree with a mean 3.2 grade point
average. Ideally, they have demonstrated a superior verbal and
mathematical skill set by scoring better than 600 on the
Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT). Applicants
who fall outside these parameters may be admitted due to outstanding personal qualities, supportive essays, and letters of recommendation or personal interview. The ideal candidate will
have made a positive impact in the communities and organizations they have served and demonstrate the motivation to do
the same in the M.B.A. program.
International students with scores below 250 on the TOEFL are
required to either complete a non-credit course offered by
83
CGU in Global Communications or the summer
International Fellows Program. Students admitted to this
program commence study in the summer semester prior to
entering the M.B.A. program in the fall.
Academic Advising. The primary purpose of the academic
advising program is to assist students in the development of
meaningful educational plans that are compatible with their
life goals and professional careers. Although the ultimate
responsibility for making decisions about educational plans
and life goals rests with the individual student, the academic
advisor will assist by helping to identify and assess alternatives and the consequences of decisions.
Course Requirements. The program consists of 60 semester units. Most courses offered are 4-unit courses. A limited
number of 2-unit courses are generally offered as special
interest topics. The teaching year is concentrated in the fall
and spring semesters although an increasingly substantive
summer program includes electives that are often taught by
visiting faculty.
Students are required to complete a series of core subjects (32
units) in marketing, financial accounting, organizational
behavior & theory, corporate finance, applied operational
methods, and quantitative methods. A variety of elective
courses are offered in addition to the core courses. Once students have completed the initial core requirements, they can
direct their studies toward a specified area of concentration
including:
• Strategy
• Finance
• Leadership
• Global management
• Entrepreneurship
• Marketing
The curriculum is designed in an integrative fashion to allow
students to progressively build on and relate acquired skills
and experiences as they proceed through the course structure.
Several courses bring students into direct contact with outside managers and their current challenges. Internships, field
studies, and independent study programs allow students to
test their skills on real-world problems with established businesses. Visiting faculty and corporate leaders bring current
management issues and developments directly into the classroom. M.B.A. students have the opportunity to gain international experience through elective courses including a summer course in Global Trade taught at Oxford University,
England, and exchange semesters at Hitotsuvashi University
in Japan, Rotterdam School of Management in the
Netherlands, and St. Gallen in Switzerland.
Additional requirements and policies. Students may be
permitted to transfer up to 10 graduate semester units of
credit toward their Drucker School M.B.A. This requires a
grade of B or better attained in a faculty-approved course
from an accredited institution within the previous five years
of the student’s CGU enrollment date. To ensure continuity
in their graduate education, students may not transfer work
completed at another school after enrollment at CGU.
Information on continuous registration, master's program
outlines, changes of field, and other general requirements
may be found in the “Degree Regulations” section of this
Bulletin.
Time Requirement/Limit. Students are required to complete the program within six years.

ter’s or Ph.D. degree may find additional information and a
description of the dual degree programs in the “Registration
and Degree Information” section of this Bulletin. The rules
governing the Dual Degree programs allow students to earn
both degrees at less cost and time than would be the case if
the degrees were pursued consecutively. For example, only 48
Drucker School units are required for an M.B.A. with the
remaining 12 units being cross-counted from the other
degree program.
SPECIAL PROGRAM
BA/MBA
Undergraduate students from The Claremont Colleges may
apply to the B.A./M.B.A. Programs currently being offered in
conjunction with Claremont McKenna, Harvey Mudd, Pitzer,
Pomona, and Scripps colleges. Once admitted, these students
are increasingly exposed to Drucker School courses in the last
two years of their undergraduate program. With that completed, they then spend an additional year with full graduate
status in the M.B.A. Program.
DOCTORAL PROGRAM
Doctor of Philosophy in Management
(Ph.D.) Degree
The Ph.D. in Management program is designed to allow
advanced students to participate in an ongoing program of
knowledge creation at the Drucker School. Admission is limited to a small number of select students who are prepared to
master relevant research methodologies and have research
interests that are complementary to those of our faculty. The
program is intensive with high expectations for publication
and scholarly contribution. Our objective is to create and disseminate knowledge relevant to critical issues affecting management practice worldwide.
To be admitted, an applicant must secure a sponsor from our
core faculty and present a detailed plan of study developed
with the sponsoring faculty member. Applicants must have
extensive familiarity with research in progress at the Drucker
School and have developed a collaborative relationship with
a core faculty member. Applications from outside one of
Claremont Graduate University’s master’s programs are
therefore less likely to result in admission.
The program requires 72 semester units of coursework,
including 24 semester units of management courses, a minimum of 12 units of research methodology at the doctoral
level, and a maximum of 12 units of independent study with
the sponsoring faculty member. After completing at least 32
units, but not more than 48 units, a major paper of publishable quality, equivalent to a master’s thesis and demonstrating breadth in the chosen research area, is required. The
sponsor and two additional faculty members then administer an open oral examination, covering the research paper
submitted and coursework completed to date.
Upon successful completion of these requirements and all
remaining coursework, a second paper, which serves as the dissertation proposal, is required. The student’s doctoral committee, consisting of the faculty sponsor and two other eligible members of the faculty, administers a second, open oral examination.
Successful students are then advanced to candidacy. To complete
the Ph.D. program, the student must submit and successfully
defend the dissertation within a period of seven years from the
date of admission to the program.
Transdisciplinary Course Requirement. All students who
enter the doctoral program after the fall 2004 semester are
required to complete the transdisciplinary course requirement within the first two years of their program. For details
on the requirement, see the “Doctor of Philosophy Degree”
section in this Bulletin.

Our mission is to educate and prepare outstanding professionals and scientists to assume prominent positions in government, industry, and education. In support of this mission, the School of Mathematical Sciences offers a variety of masters and doctoral degrees, and maintains a strong applied research component through its internationally recognized
Engineering and Industrial Applied Mathematics Clinic, offering students first-hand experience in solving significant
problems in applied mathematics for business and industry clients.
We accept both full-time and part-time students in our degree programs, with many courses scheduled at convenient
times for most working professionals. Because our programs offer both depth and breadth, they are unique among schools
offering programs in mathematics or applied mathematics in the greater Los Angeles area. We provide personalized education, viewing students as our greatest asset. No other graduate program can claim the range of benefits we can offer in
the mathematical sciences.
In addition to our regular degree programs in mathematics, we also participate in a range of partnerships with local universities and other departments. These partnerships include a joint Ph.D. in engineering and industrial applied mathematics with California State University at Long Beach, M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Financial Engineering jointly with the
Peter F. Drucker and Masatoshi Ito Graduate School of Management, and a joint Ph.D. program with San Diego State
University in computational science. We also encourage and support dual-degree programs in fields where applied mathematics can offer a stronger foundation or deeper understanding of principles.
The selection of a graduate program is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. I invite you to further
explore our many programs in mathematical sciences at CGU, and discover all the important reasons to choose the CGU
School of Mathematical Sciences for your graduate education.

Academic Program
The School of Mathematical Sciences at Claremont Graduate
University has two principal foci: (1) its doctoral programs,
qualifying students for careers as researchers in mathematical sciences, and (2) several specialized master’s-level programs in applied mathematics designed for students who
wish to seek employment in industry or government, as well
as for currently employed persons who would like to add to
their knowledge of modern techniques and trends in applied
mathematics. Research interests of the faculty include analysis, functional analysis, numerical analysis, differential equations, applied mathematics, probability, operations research,
game theory, statistics, algebra, and topology.
MASTER’S PROGRAMS
Master of Arts and Master of
Science Degrees
Traditionally, graduate programs in mathematics and mathematical sciences have emphasized doctoral programs, and most
young mathematicians have gone into university or college
teaching. However, career opportunities for people with applied
training have expanded greatly. For this reason, in addition to
the usual M.A. in mathematics that may be regarded as a portion
of the Ph.D. degree, the Mathematics Department has designed
a career-oriented master’s program that emphasizes training for
jobs at the M.A. level in the areas of physical applied mathematics, scientific computing, systems and control theory, and operations research and statistics.
Students may be admitted to an M.A. or an M.S. degree with
approval of the faculty. This program provides students with
both classroom instruction and actual working experience in
applied mathematics, so that graduates are well prepared for
positions in industry or government. Students who later
become interested in pursuing the Ph.D. program at
Claremont Graduate University or elsewhere have a sound
foundation upon which to build.
Course Requirements. A minimum of 32 units of graduate
credit is required for an M.A./M.S. degree. More than the minimum of 32 units may be required of a student whose undergraduate major lacks fundamental courses particularly suited
to his or her intended program. The student must achieve a B
average or better in the 32 units to qualify for the M.A./M.S.
degree. Students whose averages fall below B at any time during their studies may be placed on academic probation and
become subject to dismissal from the program after review by
the faculty. See “Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy” in this
Bulletin. For residence and other requirements, see the “Degree
Regulations” section in this Bulletin.
CONCENTRATION
The master’s program course requirement is five advanced
courses and three intermediate-level courses in a program
approved by the school. Advanced courses are essentially
those numbered 300 and above, and intermediate courses are
those numbered 200 and above. Details are available from the
school. Most students will base their program of study on
one of the following areas of concentration supported by the
school.
• Physical Applied Mathematics
• Scientific Computing, Computational Mathematics, and
Numerical Analysis
• Systems and Control Theory
• Operations Research and Statistics
• Pure Mathematics
Physical Applied Mathematics. This program is designed
to train students either for careers in industry or government,
or for further graduate work in applied mathematics. The
program includes courses in applicable mathematics, applied
87
analysis, computer science, differential equations, mathematical modeling and simulation, probability, and statistics.
Work in the Mathematics Clinic provides an opportunity to
apply, in a substantial and creative way, some of the analytical and modeling techniques acquired in the program.
Scientific Computing, Computational Mathematics, and
Numerical Analysis. This program is designed to prepare
students with a special interest in the theoretical or practical
aspects of computation for immediate employment or further graduate training. The program includes courses in
applicable mathematics, modeling, algorithms, advanced
programming, mathematical modeling and simulation,
numerical analysis, probability and statistics, and
Mathematics Clinic.
Systems and Control Theory. This program is designed
especially for engineering-oriented students with a special
interest in systems analysis, control theory, and signal processing. It includes courses in applicable mathematics, mathematical modeling, numerical analysis, differential equations,
integral transforms, statistics, and Mathematics Clinic.
Operations Research and Statistics. This program trains
students for careers in industry, business, or government, in
which emphasis is placed on decision making in a scientific
context. The program includes courses in applicable mathematics, deterministic and stochastic operations research,
mathematical modeling and simulation, probability and statistics, game theory, and Mathematics Clinic.
Pure Mathematics. This program is designed for students
interested in continuing to a doctoral degree in pure mathematics and a career either in research or in education at the
college or graduate level. The program includes courses in
algebra, real and complex analysis, and topology.
SPECIAL PROGRAMS
B.A. / M.A. Program. Claremont Graduate University offers
undergraduate students at The Claremont Colleges the
opportunity to obtain an accelerated M.A. or M.S. degree.
Applicants must be recommended by their respective colleges
and usually are admitted to the program during the spring
semester of their junior year. Please see “Information for
Applicants” section in this Bulletin for details about admission to the B.A./M.A. program.
M.A. or M.S. for Professional Scientists and Engineers.
Core courses in this program are offered at times convenient
for working persons, and the curriculum is designed flexibly
to allow those with appropriate backgrounds to complete the
degree requirements in two years of part-time study.
Concentration areas and typical courses are the same as those
shown above.
FINANCIAL ENGINEERING (M.S.AND Ph.D.)
The Peter F. Drucker and Masatoshi Ito Graduate School of
Management and the School of Mathematical Sciences jointly
offer the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in financial engineering. The
program prepares a student to design, evaluate, and manage
modern complex financial instruments such as options and
other derivatives, which are used in investment banking and
corporate finance. The mathematics component provides the
toolbox of analytical, numerical, and simulation techniques
needed to analyze and evaluate such instruments. The management component, closely integrated with the mathematical elements, provides tools to interpret institutional needs
and goals in the design of a portfolio of appropriately constructed instruments. Applicants to the program should have
a strong undergraduate background in mathematics, and
should have some experience in the use of mathematical software. Students will acquire the necessary management tools
in the course of the program.
Please refer to the “Transdisciplinary Studies” section of this
Bulletin for details about each of the degree programs in financial
engineering.
DOCTORAL PROGRAMS
Doctor of Philosophy Degree in
Mathematics
The general aim of the doctoral program in mathematics is to
prepare qualified graduate students to become productive
workers in industry or government, or academic research
scholars capable of communicating their knowledge to students and to the mathematical community. The program is
planned to develop in the student a fundamental understanding of certain basic fields of mathematics, a deep understanding of a major field of interest, the ability to formulate and recognize significant research problems, and the ability to analyze
problems, reach solutions, and transmit ideas to others.
Each student is assigned an advisor upon arrival. A supervisory
committee consisting of three faculty members is appointed
when preliminary examinations have been completed.
DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
Course Requirements. A total of 72 units are required.
Students must complete at least two semesters of full-time
study in residence (both semesters must be in the same academic year or in consecutive years). Whenever possible, it is
strongly recommended that all of the graduate work be done
in full-time resident study. A student who is very well prepared might expect to complete the Ph.D. program in three
years of full-time study or the equivalent, but some students
will find it necessary to take longer than this.
Upon arrival, students are given a more detailed description
of the regulations and procedures governing the administration of the graduate program in mathematics. Students are
strongly encouraged to obtain good working knowledge of
computing, as well as knowledge at least equivalent to a year’s
M AT H E M AT I C S
SCHOOL OF
M AT H E M AT I C A L
SCIENCES
88
course in applied analysis and a year’s course in probabilitystatistics.
Transdisciplinary Course Requirements. All students who
enter the doctoral program after the fall 2004 semester are
required to complete the transdisciplinary course requirement within the first two years of their program. For details
on the requirement, see the “Doctor of Philosophy Degree”
section in this Bulletin. Please note: CGU joint doctoral students (with California State University, Long Beach or San
Diego State University, and students in the Ph.D. in computational and systems biology) are exempt from the transdisciplinary course requirement.
Qualifying Examination. All math Ph.D. students must
take, at the end of their first year of study, a qualifying examination covering areas of advanced undergraduate mathematics that all prospective Ph.D. students in math should
have mastered: undergraduate analysis, complex variables,
probability, linear algebra, and differential equations. The
exam is given each spring (late May or early June). Part-time
students take this exam at the end of the academic year in
which they first complete 16 units. This six-hour exam is
split into two three-hour sessions, one in the morning (analysis and complex variables), and one in the afternoon (probability, linear algebra, differential equations).
Students are given two chances to pass the examination, and
upon failing it for the second time, are dropped from the Ph.D.
program, but allowed to complete a master’s degree at the discretion of the examining faculty. Students failing the exam a
first time MUST repeat the exam the next time it is given.
Preliminary Examinations. After passing the qualifying
examination, Ph.D. students are required to pass two written
preliminary examinations, each covering roughly two semesters of advanced graduate work in appropriate areas of graduate level pure or applied mathematics. Students can choose
their examination areas (subject to approval by their graduate
advisors) in pure or applied mathematics, depending on their
research interests and relative orientation towards pure and
applied mathematics. Students who take both preliminary
examinations in areas of applied mathematics are automatically placed into the applied mathematics concentration.
Students are given two chances at passing each exam, and
must complete these exams before the completion of 48 units
of coursework towards the degree. Failure to complete the
exams within this period, without mitigating circumstances,
will be cause for dismissal from the Ph.D. program.
Research Tools. Two research tools are required as described
in the “Registration and Degree Information” section of this
Bulletin. Students will be allowed to be examined in scientific computing, specific computing languages, statistical
research methods, computer database management, or the
foreign languages of German, French, or Russian.
Dissertation Topic Oral Examination / Advance to
Candidacy. After completing the qualifying and preliminary
examinations, Ph.D. students must prepare and pass the
Dissertation Topic Oral Qualifying Examination, which
amounts to an exposition and presentation of the student’s
proposed dissertation research. After passing this examination, the student becomes advanced to candidacy for the
Ph.D. Students must take the Dissertation Topic Oral
Qualifying Examination within six months of completing the
required 72 units of coursework towards the Ph.D.
Other Formal Requirements. General Ph.D. requirements
at Claremont Graduate University may be found in the
“Academic Program” section of this Bulletin under “Degree
Regulations.” It is the student’s responsibility to be aware of
these requirements and to meet them.
SPECIAL Ph.D. PROGRAMS
Additional information regarding specific requirements for these
programs may be obtained from the directors at the School of
Mathematical Sciences, or the partnering institutions.
Engineering and Industrial Applied
Mathematics Joint Ph.D. Program with
California State University, Long Beach
The school cooperates with California State University, Long
Beach, in offering this joint Ph.D. program. Students in this program pursue an interdisciplinary graduate program, selecting
courses from the School of Mathematical Sciences at Claremont
Graduate University and from the School of Engineering at
CSULB, which comprises the departments of aerospace engineering, chemical engineering, civil engineering, computer science and engineering, electrical engineering, and mechanical
engineering. Additional information concerning the programs,
special facilities, laboratories, and research possibilities is obtainable from the School of Engineering at CSULB, or the CGU
School of Mathematical Sciences.
Computational Science Joint Ph.D.
Program with San Diego State University
Computational science is a relatively new discipline; it is the
natural evolution of Applied Mathematics, propelled by the
impressive development of high-performance computing
during the last two decades. It is widely acknowledged that this
field has now reached the required level of maturity to become
a core focus in the sciences.
Computational science promotes a novel approach to the
solution of outstanding problems in all areas of science and
engineering. Its comprehensive character transcends the old
boundaries between traditional scientific disciplines that once
limited what an engineer could design and what a scientist
could know. Subtle interactions, masses of data, and complex
systems are all within the scope of the tools and ideas of computational science. Because computers are growing rapidly in
capability and capacity, computational science is a dynamic
field that enables scientists to bring modern computing
resources and applied mathematical techniques to bear on
solving complex problems to benefit society.
89
The program combines applied mathematics, computing, and
solid training in a basic science or engineering discipline, culminating in a doctoral research project focused on an outstanding scientific problem. The program involves multiple
disciplines and includes faculty from the Colleges of Sciences
and Engineering at SDSU, the School of Mathematical
Sciences at Claremont Graduate University, and other faculty
from the Claremont Graduate University, as well as participating faculty from The Claremont Colleges.
Computational and Systems Biology
Computational and systems biology are developing fields of
endeavor that aim to understand biological systems through
mathematical analysis, numerical simulation, data collection,
refinement and improvement of models based on comparison with experimental data, and the development of theories
to enhance our understanding of biological systems. Fields of
modern genetics (including genomics and proteomics) and
molecular and cell biology are the current focus of research
in systems biology. Myriad computational tools including
deterministic and stochastic modeling, Monte Carlo simulations, data mining, and data analysis are needed in approaching these problems. Applied mathematical topics including
nonlinear dynamical systems (discrete and continuous), partial differential equations, probability and statistics, linear
algebra, network theory, numerical analysis, control theory,
asymptotic and perturbation methods provide some of the
fundamental tools needed to carry out the requisite modeling and analysis.
With the active participation of faculty members of the Keck
Graduate Institute of Applied Life Sciences, the doctoral program in computational and systems biology will train scientists,
mathematicians, engineers, and/or quantitative biologists via a
combination of coursework, independent study, optional laboratory rotations and individual mentoring so as to provide them
with a strong grounding in modern biology and genomics as
well as in mathematical methods needed for modeling and
computational work. This training is applied to an original dissertation that may be characterized by the following:
• An outstanding original biological problem that motivates the need for the development of mathematical
models or computational approaches;
• A significant component of original, advanced mathematical modeling or computational investigation;
• The presence of conceptual and/or computational challenges in the implementation of the mathematical
models and/or computational methods.
RESOURCES
Mathematics Clinic. This unusual feature is basic to all programs of concentration in the School of Mathematical
Sciences. In the clinic, both undergraduate and graduate students work under faculty supervision on real problems arising in industry and government. Such problems are selected
primarily because of their educational merit and are normally
of sufficient magnitude that their formulation, analysis, and
exposition require substantial involvement for an academic
year, or full-time involvement over a summer. Graduate students selected to act as team leaders in clinic projects receive
a stipend for this responsibility, which is normally undertaken only after a year of graduate work. Since its inception
in 1973-74, Mathematics Clinic activity has tackled nearly
200 year-long projects for industry. Topics studied in the
clinic are diverse, and every attempt is made to match student skills and interests with project needs. The clinic provides invaluable training by combining experience in realworld problem solving with thorough study of the relevant
mathematics and its applications.
Claremont Research Graduate Institute for Applied
Mathematical Sciences (CRIAMS). As a natural extension
of its Mathematics Clinic program, the School of
Mathematical Sciences initiated the Institute for Applied
Mathematical Sciences in 1998 to conduct research in
advanced applied mathematical, computational, and numerical techniques aimed at the solution of complex industrial
problems. The institute also provides a center for graduate
and postdoctoral education for Claremont students in
applied mathematics, and a site for continuing education,
intensive seminars, and sabbatical visits by industrial scientists and applied mathematicians who develop and use these
techniques.
Computing. There are two general purpose computer labs
accessible to students in the Academic Computing Building,
and two scientific computing labs housed in the school offices.

Academic Program
The Department of Economics at CGU emphasizes the use of
economic theory and empirical research to analyze problems
facing government, business, consumers, and the economy in
general. It stresses the importance of international as well as
domestic economic and financial analysis and the importance
of the political and institutional framework within which decision-making takes place. In addition to traditional M.A. and
Ph.D. degrees, the Department of Economics offers, in cooperation with faculty from the Department of Politics and Policy
and the Peter F. Drucker and Masatoshi Ito Graduate School
of Management, three special M.A. and Ph.D. programs
emphasizing business and financial economics, international
economic development, political economy, and public choice.
The traditional Ph.D. is usually the appropriate program for
students intending to pursue careers in economic research and
university teaching. One of the other programs may be more
appropriate for students intent on careers in business, government service, or teaching and research in interdisciplinary programs such as schools of international studies, management,
and public policy. The Department of Economics has also
developed several degree options that allow a student to pursue an interdisciplinary curriculum in economics and other
fields such as politics and policy, management, mathematics,
financial engineering, philosophy and information science.
Program Requirements. A year of calculus, an introductory
course in statistics, and courses in intermediate microeconomic and macroeconomic theory are required prior to
entrance. In some instances, students may be allowed to complete one or more of these requirements after admission to
the program. Students lacking an adequate background in
calculus should correct this deficiency before coming to CGU.
Students without an adequate background in economics may
be required to take or audit intermediate microeconomics or
macroeconomics as appropriate at one of The Claremont
Colleges. Students without an adequate background in mathematics will be required to take Mathematics for the Social
Sciences (ECON 307) in the fall semester.
Transfer of Credit. Graduate coursework completed at other
institutions prior to enrollment at CGU will be considered
for credit at CGU under the conditions specified in this
Bulletin under “Degree Regulations.” Transfer of credit will
be considered on the basis of the relevance of the coursework
to the student’s area of specialization at CGU. Student petitions to transfer credits must describe courses completed elsewhere, identifying professors, texts, etc. Final approval of
transfer of credits usually is given after the student has been
in the program for at least two semesters. This facilitates evaluation of the compatibility of courses taken elsewhere with
CGU program requirements.
Financial Aid. In addition to tuition fellowships and assistantships offered by the department, other research assistance
funding may be available from the Claremont Institute for
Economic Policy Studies at CGU, the Lowe Institute of
Political Economy at Claremont McKenna College, or faculty
research grants.
MASTER’S PROGRAMS
Master of Arts Degree
The M.A. is intended primarily to provide a level of expertise
appropriate to many positions in government and business.
Students interested in college and university teaching should
apply for the Ph.D. degree. A master’s degree emphasizing economic theory and quantitative methods may complement an
undergraduate program with a different orientation or one
focused on different but related disciplines.
The requirements for the M.A. degree include the completion
of 48 units (12 4-unit courses) with an average of B or better.

DUAL DEGREE
PhD in Economics/MBA
This 96-unit dual degree program combines Ph.D. level
research and coursework with a slightly abbreviated M.B.A.
curriculum, providing a comprehensive examination of the
global economy from both business ad political perspectives.
Students qualify for competitive careers in various fields,
including the non-profit sector, the corporate arena, governmental organizations, and consulting companies. Students
in this program want to cultivate themselves as individuals as
well as professionals skilled in the various facets of today’s
complex modern economy.
Graduates earn both a Ph.D. in economics with the M.B.A.
The program requires a total of 96 units of coursework,
including approximately half from the School of Politics and
Economics and half from the Peter F. Drucker and Masatoshi
Ito Graduate School of Management. Pursued as a dual
degree, students save approximately 32 units of coursework,
equivalent to an extra year and a half of full-time study.
Students interested in the Ph.D./M.B.A. dual degree program
must apply and be accepted jointly to both schools prior to
the completion of their first 16 units of study at CGU.
Transdisciplinary Course Requirement. All students who
Many public agencies and private sector employers have not
been able to fill vital professional positions that require an
understanding of how businesses determine their location
sites, how to analyze both the financial and political feasibility of a project, or how to grow a city’s economic or tax base.
The Claremont Graduate University offers a certificate program in economic development to prepare individuals for
these positions. The program curriculum breaks down the
complex profession of economic development into fundamental practices, principles, and procedures. Courses cover
strategic planning, finance, real estate development, marketing strategies, and workforce development. Development
professionals of all levels are encouraged to attend as well as
brokers, lenders, urban planners, non-profit community
development officials, elected and appointed government
officials.
Program Curriculum:
The general curriculum for a certificate in economic development consists of three required classes (12 units.) It is
expected participants will finish in one year. Courses feature
local practitioners and experts for guest lectures on a variety
of topics. Group projects, break-out sessions, and applied
case analysis will be used significantly in the program. Course
instructors include regular faculty from CGU and established
public and private economic development practitioners.
Classes typically meet once a week for three hours (in the
evenings) for 15 weeks. Summer courses may be held over
seven weeks and meet twice a week. Depending on participant interest, intensive weekend or week-long courses may
be added to the schedule. For more information, contact the
recruiter/admissions coordinator in the School of Politics and
Economics at spe@cgu.edu or telephone (909)621-8699.

Academic Program
The programs in politics and policy weave together broad theoretical concerns about politics and political values with more
focused questions of applied policy analysis. The purpose is to
prepare students for a variety of careers in university teaching,
nonprofit organizations, government, consulting, and business.
A significant number of students direct their studies and
careers toward participation in the international arena.
In the master’s degree programs—international studies; international political economy; politics; public policy; and politics,
economics, and business—students concentrate on one primary area of study. In the Ph.D. degree program, students are
expected to become proficient in two areas of study. The areas
most frequently chosen for study are American politics, comparative politics, political philosophy, public policy, and world
politics. In addition to these areas, students may develop individualized programs of study tailored to their special interests
and career objectives. The personalized style of work at

Claremont Graduate University enables students in the programs to complement their studies with work in history, economics, psychology, and related fields.
Among the distinctive features of the program are its emphasis on the connection between values and practice; policy
internships; policy research clinics; and various research projects in which faculty join with students to examine a wide
range of domestic and international policy issues. Additionally,
the department is housed together with the Department of
Economics in the School of Politics and Economics, allowing
for interdisciplinary study in the fields of political economy,
policy, and comparative politics.
MASTER’S PROGRAMS

capacity to understand and forecast these developments.
The M.A.I.S. is a nine/twelve-course program (36/48 units)
taken over three or four semesters when pursued full time.
Each M.A.I.S. student works out an individualized curriculum in consultation with his or her adviser. The career path
a student wishes to pursue upon graduation heavily influences the selection of elective courses and research tools. A
student planning a career in investment banking would be
advised to develop a concentration in international political
economy and political risk. A student with an interest in the
proliferation of weapons of mass destruction might concentrate on course offerings in defense and foreign policy. A student with an interest in development work abroad might
focus on courses in comparative politics.

Politics depending upon focus of study.
(4) Electives (8 units).
Two approved courses in:
• Political Economy
• Research Tools
• World or Comparative Politics
(5) Master’s research paper (not a thesis, no units of credit).
Master’s Research Paper. All M.A. students enrolled in a 36unit degree program must complete a master’s research paper
demonstrating effective writing ability and substantial research
skills. The paper is in addition to the 36 units required, though
it is our expectation that this paper will have grown from the
student’s ongoing interests and previous coursework. Note: this
is not a thesis.
Master of Arts in International Studies
The M.A.I.S. builds expertise in international studies, political economy, and foreign and defense policy. It hones a student’s analytical skills in assessing the interaction between
political objectives and the working of international markets.
For example, economic and strategic interdependence can
promote closer ties among states, or they can promote vulnerability and insecurity. Economic liberalization can bring
new opportunity and prosperity to millions of people, but it
also can create new distributions of political winners and losers. Economic and political reforms are often blamed for
financial crises experienced in the same emerging markets
once regarded as models to be emulated. The analytical tools
developed in the M.A.I.S. program give students a greater
Requirements for the 48-unit MAIS are the same as above with
three additional electives; no research paper required.
Master of Arts in Politics
American Politics Concentration. The Master of Arts in
American Politics (M.A.P.) degree at CGU is designed to prepare the political professional for real-world work in the roughand-tumble world of American politics. The M.A.P. is a practical program that focuses on developing the knowledge base
and skill set essential to the person who wants to shape society’s future through political action. Recent college graduates
and mid-career professionals working in political and not-forprofit environments will benefit from the comprehensive training a Master of Arts in American Politics degree provides.
The M.A.P. is a nine/twelve-course program (36/48 units) that
provides students with a rich and nuanced understanding of
American politics. Seminars survey the broad spectrum of
American political life by examining current research and
thinking on the institutions and behavior that together form
the fabric of our national political life.
Although our students are broadly trained, they also focus on
the aspects of U.S. politics that most serve their personal and
AND POLICY

career interests. The core seminar and the elective tracks introduce students to the full spectrum of political institutions and
behaviors as political science has come to understand them.
M.A.P. students are also given the analytical and communication skills necessary to be effective. Classes in statistical analysis
and applied research projects prepare students for work in campaigns, legislative offices, and the world of political advocacy.
(5) Master’s research paper.
Note: Requirements for the 48-unit M.A.P. (both concentrations) are the same as for the 36-unit program with the exception of three additional electives and no research paper is
required.
Requirements for the 36-unit M.A.P., American Politics
Concentration
(1) Core M.A. research tool requirements (8 units).
The M.A.P.P. builds knowledge of current government programs and the debates about them. Students learn the technical skills to assess how politics influences policy choices as
well as how to design more effective programs and how to
evaluate the impact of existing programs.
(2) Three core courses (12 units):
Comparative Political Systems (PP 350), or
World Politics (PP 400), and Political Risk
Analysis (PP 403), or Decision Making Models (SPE 471),
and Foundations of Political Economy (SPE 410).
(3) Four courses selected for expertise in depth: two for
regional expertise and two for thematic coherence (16
units.
(4) Master’s research paper (no units of credit).
Requirements for the 48-unit MAP are the same as above with
three additional electives; no research paper required.
Political Philosophy Concentration. The Study of Political
Philosophy grounds the student in an appreciation of historical responses to similar issues. It asks students to recognize
the interconnection among ideas, principles, and institutions
within a historical context and to apply these insights to contemporary problems. Students are taught to understand the
character and bases of regimes and political processes that go
beyond the level of current day operations.
Political Philosophy has always proceeded as a dialogue with
the past. Students learn to understand and to argue with previous philosophers, their value systems and the formation of
institutional structures that embody and sustain those values. It trains one to think critically and theoretically. One
learns to appreciate and to evaluate key assumptions that
underlie beliefs and arguments about institutions, regimes,
and the values, which animate them. Students will primarily
address how those concepts are treated by philosophers
within the Euro-American tradition and to some extent by
“non-western” philosophic traditions, including the Chinese,
Indian, and Islamic.
Requirements for the 36-unit M.A.P., Political
Philosophy Concentration
(1) Core M.A. research tool requirement (4 units).
(2) Core philosophy courses (16 units): Major Works
in Political Philosophy (PP 450) and one course from
each of three areas: Ancient and Medieval Theory,
Modern Theory, Contemporary Theory.
(3) Two additional courses in one of the subfield areas (8 units).
One course should be a thematic or issue course; the
second should focus on the work of one theorist.
(4) Two elective courses chosen in consultation with the
student’s advisor (8 units).
Master of Arts in Public Policy
Though the skills of the M.A.P.P. can be applied to a wide
variety of policies, we are particularly strong in urban issues.
Our faculty members have done research on the impact of
local election laws on minority groups, the decision of cities
to pursue federal funds for community policing, and the use
of location incentives to attract new businesses. Our location
in the Los Angeles metropolitan area provides firsthand exposure to the most pressing social and economic issues in the
country—the growth of immigrant populations, suburban
sprawl and traffic congestion, transformation of the economy
from manufacturing to international trade and finance, education reform, and restructuring government to increase
responsiveness.
Requirements for the 48-unit MAPP
(1) Three core courses (12 units): Public Policy Process
(PP 330)plus two courses from the following selection:
Legislative Process and Public Policy (PP 306),

or Economic Analysis in Public Policy (recommended for
students with economics backgrounds).
(4) Three Elective Courses (12 units).
Master of Arts in International
Political Economy
The M.A.I.P.E. is a 48-unit degree program that takes advantage of the high level of curriculum integration between the
departments of economics and politics and policy. Students
will be trained in the analytical tools most frequently in
demand for analyzing trends and issues in the international
political economy. Students develop basic skills in microeconomics and macroeconomics while mastering the major conceptual approaches to world politics and international polit-
POLITICS
101
ical economy. Students focusing on international economics
usually emphasize formal models and econometrics in their
methodological training, while those primarily interested in
politics emphasize decision theory and statistics. All students
are encouraged to develop the sophisticated computer skills
most useful in applied situations.
In addition to the development of analytical tools, students
choose fields of study in the substantive areas where politics
and economics overlap. Possible emphases include international trade, economic growth, money and finance, regional
integration, international regimes and negotiations, globalization, foreign investment, and the economic determinants
of regime changes. Students may also choose to emphasize
particular regions of the world such as Latin America, the
Pacific Rim, the Middle East, Africa, or Europe.
Requirements for the 48-unit MAIPE
(1) Complete one of the two research tool sequences (8 units):
Econometrics I (ECON 382), (prerequisite ECON 308) and
Econometrics II (ECON 383), or Quantitative Research

315 Game Theory)
(5) Choose three courses from an approved list (12 units)
Master of Arts in Politics, Economics
and Business Degree
The Master of Arts in Politics, Economics and Business
(M.A.P.E.B.) is a 48-unit program that provides the student
with integrated training in these three disciplines. Given the
significant government involvement in economic and business decisions today, individuals with training in these areas
and in their interaction will be uniquely positioned to take
advantage of changing economic and business opportunities.
This program is designed to train government officials, managers, and business analysts to have a richer understanding of
economic and political processes than they would receive in
a traditional M.B.A. degree program.
Students gain an appropriate blend of analytical skill, practical experience, and technical advantage useful in many environments. Politics responds to and shapes the environment in
which business operates. Policy makers require accurate and
useful information about the potential impact of decisions.
Knowledge of the fundamentals of economics and business
provides the graduate with a comparative advantage when
competing for key employment opportunities. The analytical tools that CGU will provide in economics and statistics
are increasingly fundamental to success.
Requirements for 48-unit MAPEB.
(1) Four core courses (16 units).
• Legislative Process & Public Polity (PP 306) or
Public Policy Process (PP 330)
• Empirical Finance (ECON 337) or Corporate Finance
(MGMT 335)
• Financial & Managerial Accounting (SPE 323)
• Economics of Management & Organizations (SPE 324)
(2) Three Core research tools (12 units), choose either of
the following sequences:
Politics & Policy
• Quantitative Research Methods (PP 481)

(SPE 471)
Economics
• Math for Economists I (Econ 308)
• Econometrics I (ECON 382)
• Econometrics II (ECON 383).
(3) Five elective courses (20 units) choosen from an
approved list in Politics and Policy or Economics.
SPECIAL PROGRAMS
B.A./M.A. Program
Undergraduates enrolled in the Claremont Colleges who are
interested in pursuing a career in government, politics, policy, economics, consulting, advocacy, or the non-profit sector should consider enrolling in the Accelerated B.A./M.A.
Programs in the Department of Politics and Policy. The joint

degree program with only two additional semesters of enrollment at CGU.
DOCTORAL PROGRAM
Doctor of Philosophy in Political
Science Degree
The Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science degree program
is designed to provide students with the in-depth knowledge of
domestic and international politics and analytical skills required
for careers in academia, the public sector, or private enterprise.
Concentrations of study include American politics, comparative politics, political philosophy, public policy, world politics,
and methods. Students may, within limits, design a second field
relevant to their own interests and career objectives or choose
from the existing fields.
Requirements. The basic requirements for the Ph.D. degree
in political science are:
(1) A minimum of 72 units of graduate level coursework:
(a) A two-course sequence in statistics and approaches to
the field that fulfills the institutional requirement for
one research tool (8 units).
(b) Demonstration of competence in a second research tool
relevant to the student’s areas of study, such as an
approved foreign language, advanced statistics,
econometrics, or game theory (4 units).
(c) A 6-course sequence in each of two fields, a sequence
that accords with the requirements set by the fields.
(48 units).
(d) Participation in a policy clinic, internship, field
research, or workshop is required for students in the
public policy field. For all others, it is highly recommended (2-4 units).
(2) Successful completion of the written qualifying examinations in each of two major fields. Qualifying examinations
are offered once in the fall and the spring semesters. An oral
examination, if required, will be administered within two
weeks of the written examination.
(3) Successful completion of the dissertation. The process
begins with the preparation of a dissertation proposal,
which must be defended by the student and approved by a
three-person faculty committee. The final draft of the
dissertation must be approved by the dissertation committee, and then orally defended in an open public forum.
Transdisciplinary Course Requirement. All students who
enter the doctoral program after the fall 2004 semester are
required to complete the transdisciplinary course requirement within the first two years of their program. For details
on the requirement, see the “Doctor of Philosophy Degree”
section in this Bulletin.

DUAL DEGREE
Ph.D. in Political Science/MBA
This 96-unit dual degree combines Ph.D. level research and
coursework with a slightly abbreviated M.B.A. curriculum,
providing a comprehensive examination of the global economy for both business and political economy perspectives.
Students qualify for competitive careers in various fields
including the non-profit sector, the corporate arena, governmental organizations, and consulting companies.
Graduates earn a Ph.D. in political science with the M.B.A.
The program requires a total of 96 units of coursework,
including approximately half from the School of Politics and
POLITICS
103
Economics and half from the Peter F. Drucker and Masatoshi
Ito Graduate School of Management. Pursued as a dual
degree, students save approximately 32 units of coursework,
equivalent to an extra year and a half of full-time study.
Students interested in the Ph.D./M.B.A. dual degree program
must apply and be accepted to both schools.
Students interested in pursuing a dual degree should refer to
the policies and procedures in the “Registration and Degree
Information” section of this Bulletin. A change to a dual
degree program must be approved prior to the completion
of the student’s first 16 units of study at CGU.
Transdisciplinary Course Requirement. All students who
enter the doctoral program after the fall 2004 semester are
required to complete the transdisciplinary course requirement within the first two years of their program. For details
on the requirement, see the “Doctor of Philosophy Degree”
section in this Bulletin.
COURSE EXCEPTIONS
Waiver of Required Courses. Students who can prove competence in a subject of a required course (e.g., statistics) may
seek a waiver of the requirement through petitioning the
chair of the department. The petition must be supported by
appropriate information on courses completed in the subject
and/or demonstration of competence. An elective course is
substituted in a student’s program for any course waived.

The School of Religion is a community of scholars dedicated to understanding the contributions of religion to human
cultures. The faculty employs a rich diversity of critical methodologies for the study of a wide variety of texts, practices,
and traditions from across the globe and from many different eras. The school offers master’s and doctoral degrees as
well as research opportunities in six areas of concentration: Hebrew Bible, history of Christianity and religions of North
America, New Testament, philosophy of religion and theology, women’s studies in religion, and theology, ethics, and culture. The school also offers a master’s degree concentration in Islamic Studies. The various programs of study in religion
are designed to prepare students for careers in research, teaching, and intellectual leadership.
The School of Religion at Claremont Graduate University, established in summer 2000, is the expansion of a 40-year tradition of excellence in graduate studies in religion in Claremont. The distinctive quality of the school, formerly known
as the Department of Religion, is sustained by its unique and historic cooperation with the Claremont School of Theology,
its frequent collaboration with faculty in the Center for the Humanities, and its reliance upon the scholarly contributions
of undergraduate faculty at The Claremont Colleges. These cooperative efforts place the School of Religion among the
finest graduate programs in religion in the world.

scholars in Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, and womanist, feminist, and process theologies.
Theology, ethics, and culture students may choose either:
(1) To focus on philosophical, theological, or social ethics.
(2) To combine one of those forms of ethics with another
area in the School of Religion or an academic discipline in another department at Claremont Graduate
University. Students should select a degree program
that meets their long-term objectives in terms of
teaching and research.
Hebrew Bible:
(1) History and culture of the Ancient Near East
(2) Literature of the Hebrew Bible
(3) Second Temple Judaism.
MASTER’S PROGRAMS

1) A general program envisaged primarily for students who
have not had previous graduate studies in religion. Of the 30
units of required credit, 28 units normally consist of coursework. A critique prepared in connection with a course in the
area of the student’s major interest also is required along with
qualifying examinations in any three of the school’s six areas
of concentration.
Philosophy of religion and theology:
(1) Process thought
(2) Analytic philosophy of religion
(3) Continental philosophy of religion
(4) Early Protestant theology
(5) Nineteenth-and twentieth-century philosophy of religion
(6) Nineteenth-and twentieth-century theology.
Within the general course and residence requirements of
Claremont Graduate University, students may pursue either:
2) A somewhat more specialized program in the area of the
student’s major interest. Of the 30 units of required credit, at
least 18 units must be taken in the student’s area of concentration. Up to 6 units may be taken as Master’s Thesis
Research (REL 399). Students also must take two qualifying
examinations, one in the student’s area of concentration and
one in a related area of concentration.
Both M.A. programs require a reading knowledge of German
or French, and such other languages as may be necessary in a
given field of specialization.
Upper-division college courses, numbered in the 200s, are
open to M.A. students with the permission of the instructor

and the student’s advisor. Courses in the 300s are open to
M.A. students, as well as to advanced undergraduate majors
in religion, with the permission of the instructor. M.A. students also may take graduate seminars, numbered in the 400s,
with the permission of the instructor and the student’s advisor. For residence and other general requirements, see the
“Degree Regulations” section in this Bulletin.
SPECIAL PROGRAMS
Accelerated B.A./M.A.
Program in Religion
The CGU School of Religion offers an accelerated B.A./M.A.
option for religious studies majors at The Claremont
Colleges, at California State University, Fullerton, and at the
University of California, Riverside. For information on this
program, refer to the “Academic Program” section under
“Registration and Degree Information” or contact the School
of Religion.
Master of Arts in Women’s
Studies in Religion Degree
In addition to the Ph.D. in women’s studies in religion
(described below), CGU offers a specialized M.A. program in
women’s studies in religion.
This program combines a solid exposure to traditional modes
of scholarship in the field of religion with openness to new
paths of inquiry within the framework of graduate study in
the humanities and the social sciences. The program is
designed to be responsive to the shifting paradigms of intellectual inquiry evident in the blurring of traditional disciplinary boundaries and the dissolving of the demarcation
between the humanities and the social sciences. Primary areas
of study will be women’s roles in social and religious institutions, and the function of gender in religious symbol systems.
The program supplements its area of primary
strength–Christian studies–with excellent resources in Jewish
studies and Asian religions.
Coursework. The degree requires 36 units of academic
coursework, (of which one 4-unit course must meet the CGU
humanities requirement), including the required courses:
Introduction to Women’s Studies in Religion (REL 304),
Major Interpreters in the Study of Religion (REL 363), and a
course in feminist theory. The 24 additional units of academic
coursework are divided among courses in women’s studies in
religion and courses in religion or related disciplines. Up to 6
graduate units may be transferred. Participation in monthly
advisee group meetings is required to discuss integration of
coursework in terms of the student’s educational goals.
Research. A thesis on a suitable topic is to be submitted and
approved. Each student will select a three-member thesis
committee before completion of the first 12 months of study.
The principal advisor will most closely direct the thesis,
which will be defended before the entire committee.
Language. All students are required to acquire a reading
knowledge of German or French.
Other Requirements. For residence and other general requirements, see the “Degree Regulations” section in this Bulletin.
DOCTORAL PROGRAMS
Doctor of Philosophy Degree
Program of Study. The Ph.D. degree requires 72 semester
units of graduate-level coursework beyond the bachelor’s
degree. Students may transfer up to 24 units of graduate
coursework from an accredited institution. All Ph.D. students
must take Major Interpreters in the Study of Religion (REL
363). Most of the CGU coursework is to be constituted by
400-level courses. In cases where 400-level courses appropriate to the student’s program are not available, a limited number of 300-level courses may be taken with the permission of
the course instructor and the student’s advisor.
Within the general course and residence requirements of
Claremont Graduate University, the particular program of
study of each student will be planned in consultation with his
or her faculty advisor or advisory committee. Students are
encouraged to consult with the appropriate faculty regarding
their program of study as soon as possible and as often as
needed.
DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
Requirements. The Ph.D. program in religion presupposes
a general knowledge in the study of religion, such as is provided either in an undergraduate program in religion, an
M.A. program in religion, or by a degree from a school of theology. Students in the Ph.D. program are therefore required
to validate some competence in three areas of religion other
than the student’s major field. One of these areas must be in
a religious tradition other than the student’s own. Students
may validate their competence either on the basis of prior
coursework recorded on their transcripts (at least two upperdivisional undergraduate or graduate courses in a given area,
no more than seven years old, with a grade of B or better), or
by passing a breadth examination, which is to be taken upon
entrance and may be attempted only once. Students who do
not validate their competence in either of these two ways will
be required to take coursework in addition to the unit
requirements in their area of concentration (Hebrew Bible;
New Testament; Philosophy of Religion and Theology;
History of Christianity; Women’s Studies in Religion; and
Theology, Ethics and culture).
The Ph.D. program also requires its students to have a reading
knowledge of German and French, and such other languages as
may be necessary to their field of specialization. Students are
encouraged to acquire a reading knowledge of German and
French before beginning their program of study. Workshops
in German and French are usually available in the summer session; tutorials are available during the academic year. Either
the German or the French language exam must be taken upon
entry into the last 48 units of coursework and passed before
registering for any of the last 24 units of coursework. Both must
be passed before scheduling the qualifying exams.
109
Each area of concentration has further requirements that are
specific to the area.
The Ph.D. program in women’s studies in religion is designed
for students interested in both feminist theory and the study
of religion. Of the 48 units of doctoral-level courses required,
24 units must be in women’s studies and 24 units in a concentration supported by the Ph.D. programs in Claremont
(such as biblical studies, theology, ethics, and culture, history
of Christianity, and philosophy of religion and theology).
For students specializing in Hebrew Bible, three major papers
are required, as part of the program of study; students specializing in New Testament are required to write two major
papers; and students specializing in Hebrew Bible also must
pass a Hebrew Language Proficiency Examination before they
may apply to take qualifying examinations. This examination
must be attempted upon entry to the program and every subsequent time it is scheduled until it is passed. Upon satisfactory completion of the program of study, the Ph.D. student
may apply to take qualifying examinations. Most students
who successfully complete their qualifying examinations are
eligible to receive a Master of Arts in religion. This does not
apply to dual-degree students.
Please refer to the “Registration and Information” section for
additional information regarding degree requirements.
Transdisciplinary Course Requirement. All students who
enter the doctoral program after the fall 2004 semester are
required to complete the transdisciplinary course requirement within the first two years of their program. For details
on the requirement, see the “Doctor of Philosophy Degree”
section in this Bulletin.
For further information regarding institutional requirements,
including requirements pertaining to the dissertation, the
student should consult the “Degree Regulations” section in
this Bulletin; for further information regarding departmental
regulations and policies, the student should contact the
School of Religion office.
Dual Degree Programs
Dual degree programs (e.g., M.A. in philosophy with a Ph.D.
in religion, and M.B.A. with a Ph.D. in religion) also are available. For further details, contact the School of Religion.
RESOURCES
Affiliated institutions and supporting resources include the
Claremont School of Theology, the Institute for Antiquity
and Christianity, the Institute for Signifying Scriptures, the
Ancient Biblical Manuscript Center for Preservation and
Research, the Center for Process Studies, and the Blaisdell
Programs in World Religions and Cultures. Library facilities
include, in addition to the Libraries of The Claremont
Colleges, the library of the Claremont School of Theology,
which contains 140,000 volumes in the field of religion.

these disciplines, creating a rich opportunity for interdisciplinary study in both academic and professional programs.
The centerpiece of the Applied Women’s Studies Program is
the requirement that students complete an internship or
policy clinic. The metropolitan areas across the United
States including Los Angeles; Washington, D.C.; Houston;
New York City; and Miami offer a wide range of internship
possibilities focusing on women’s issues—in educational
settings; federal, state, and local government; advocacy
work; legal counseling; community service organizations;
homeless shelters; and homes for battered women.
Upon completion of the M.A. the student should demonstrate:
• Knowledge of a variety of qualitative and quantitative
research methods for giving voice to women’s experience
and making visible the frequently invisible and undercounted aspects of women’s lives.
• The ability to design and conduct interviews, use the
Internet and electronic databases in research, critically
interpret numerical data from secondary sources, give an
oral presentation of research results working in a collaborative team, use PowerPoint, and write a research proposal.
• Familiarity with feminist epistemology, including feminist
critiques of science and the development of feminist
empiricist, standpoint, and postmodernist epistemologies.
Electives (8 units). Students can use the electives to add further analytical tools, such as data analysis, statistics, or legal
research methods, to broaden their knowledge of a social
issue or to gain expertise in other feminist methodologies.

The School of the Arts and Humanities and the Peter F. Drucker and Masatoshi Ito Graduate School of Management jointly offer
the Master of Arts in arts and cultural management.
Academic Program
The Master of Arts in Arts and Cultural Management
(M.A.A.C.M.) is designed for students with a strong background in the arts and/or humanities. The purpose of the
program is to combine management, policy, and decisionmaking training with advanced study in the arts/humanities.
Arts and cultural managers are required to play multiple roles
in arts organizations. They function as community leaders,
planners, educators, facilitators, and fund-raisers. They must
know how to interpret, influence, and set art and cultural
policies. They must know how to advocate and communicate
the value and mission of an organization to diverse constituencies, including artists, business people, government
officers, and members of local communities and associations.
The program in arts and cultural management strives to prepare students through the optimal balance of advanced study
in arts and cultural theory, policy, management, and handson experience.
The program combines training in the techniques of humanities research and writing, applied research analysis, management, policy and decision making skills. First-hand experience in the arts and cultural management field is gained
through an internship normally completed within the first
year. A final thesis or advanced writing project requires students to synthesize their skills and knowledge on some policy or management-related problem in the area of arts and
cultural management.
Admissions Requirements
The admissions committee, composed of Drucker School as well
as arts and humanities faculty, reviews applicants for clear indications of leadership ability, and a strong background in the
arts/humanities. an applicant must submit a completed application, application fee, transcripts of all undergraduate and graduate work completed, three letters of reference, résumé, personal
statement, and GMAT or GRE scores to the Office of Admission
and Records at Claremont Graduate University. Non-native
speakers of English also must submit TOEFL test scores.

Course Requirements. The program consists of 11
courses of 4-units each, and 4-units of directed
thesis/advanced writing work for a total of 48 units. There
are five required courses in management and six required
courses in the humanities. Each student chooses an area of
concentration to fulfill 12 of the units in the humanities.
The program is designed so that students may complete it in
two years of full-time study. The student, with the help and
approval of an advisor, determines the actual arrangement
and sequence of courses taken.
Internship. An important component of the Arts and
Cultural Management degree is an internship that places
candidates in an arts or cultural organization providing
them with practical experience. Depending upon student
and sponsor needs, internships can be structured on a full
or part-time basis. The internship is not a degree requirement but will provide invaluable hands-on experience.
Final Research Paper. The master’s research paper demonstrates the student’s ability to integrate arts and cultural theory with techniques of applied research analysis in the area
of arts and cultural management. Students will select a topic
of interest that reflects an understanding of key issues and/or
challenges in the areas of arts and cultural management, theory, and/or policy. Students will complete a master’s research
paper or field study demonstrating effective writing ability
and substantial research skills. This degree requirement may
be fulfilled by a faculty-directed independent study, or an
approved advanced course in writing and research.

Claremont Graduate University offers the Master of Science
in Financial Engineering (M.S.F.E.) and the Doctor of
Philosophy in Financial Engineering (Ph.D.).
MASTER’S PROGRAM
Master of Science in Financial
Engineering (M.S.F.E.)
Academic Program. Management of risk is a necessity in
today’s highly leveraged, highly competitive, global economy.
Using advanced quantitative methods and path-breaking
concepts of strategic planning, financial engineering has
emerged as a new and specialized discipline. Financial engineering focuses on designing, evaluating, and managing
financial products and using real options to support strategic
objectives. This intensive degree program prepares graduates
for careers in a broad range of specialties including asset
management, investment banking, corporate finance, and
consulting.
The Admissions Process. An applicant to the program
should have a strong quantitative undergraduate background, and preferably some experience in using mathematical software. Some background in business or economics is
desirable. An undergraduate degree in mathematics, physical
science, engineering, or economics is an advantage. Each student will acquire advanced quantitative and managerial tools
in the course of the program.
An applicant must submit a completed application, application fee, transcripts of all undergraduate and graduate work
completed, three letters of reference, résumé, personal statement, and GMAT or GRE scores to the Office of Admission
and Records at Claremont Graduate University. Non-native
speakers of English also must submit TOEFL test scores. The
admissions committee reviews applicants for clear indications of analytical and leadership ability, particularly in quantitative work.
Quantitative Work. Applicants are expected to have completed Calculus III through multivariate calculus and to have
completed linear algebra with a grade of B or better. Students
who have not completed these requirements may be admitted provisionally, but will be expected to complete these prerequisites as quickly as possible, on a schedule that is

approved by the program administrator.
Course Requirements. The program consists of 12 courses
of 4 units each, for a total of 48 units. Some students may
need to take additional fundamental courses. The 12 courses
include:
• four required courses in mathematics.
• four required courses in management.
• four approved courses in mathematics, management, or
economics selected from the list of approved elective courses.
The program can be completed in three semesters of 16 units
each, but many students choose to spread the degree over four
semesters. The program can also be completed on a part-time
basis and students may elect to switch between full-time and
part-time. A student with sufficiently strong mathematical
background may request a waiver of one or more required
courses and substitute elective courses. Management courses
may be waived on the same basis. A student may, with the
agreement of a faculty sponsor, elect to do an internship for 4
units of credit, counted as a management elective. A student
must maintain an average grade of B (3.0) or better in the 48
units to qualify for the degree. A student whose overall gradepoint average falls below a B and who does not make satisfactory progress toward completion of the degree may be dropped
from the program upon faculty review at any time during the
course of study. Grades below B- are considered by the program to be unsatisfactory and requiring of remedial action, as
determined by the program directors in mathematics and
finance. A student who receives a grade below B- but believes
that the knowledge expectations of the course have been met
may submit a written petition to the directors of the program
for their review, requesting that the grade lower than a B be
accepted as satisfactory, however the overall G.P.A. must remain
at or above a 3.0.
Additional Requirements and Policies
A student may be permitted to transfer up to 8 graduate-level
semester units of credit towards the M.S.F.E. This requires a
grade of B or better attained in a faculty-approved course
from an accredited graduate institution within five years of
the student’s enrollment in CGU. A student requesting a
transfer of units must submit transcripts, syllabi, and documentation of coursework to the program administrator. The
request for transfer must be approved at the beginning of
enrollment. Information on continuous registration, master’s
program outlines, and other general requirements can be
found in the “Degree Regulations” section of this Bulletin.
Field Study in Financial Engineering
An integral component of the Financial Engineering degree is
an internship opportunity that allows candidates to examine
specific applications of derivative instruments and risk management in a business environment. Depending upon student
and sponsor needs, internships can be structured on a full- or
part-time basis. The internship is offered for academic credit
and applies toward the management electives requirement.
SPECIAL PROGRAMS
Accelerated Degree Program
Claremont Graduate University offers qualified students at the
undergraduate Claremont Colleges the opportunity to begin
the M.S.F.E. degree while completing undergraduate study. The
applicant usually applies to the program in the junior year and,
with the guidance of a the program administrator in addition
to the undergraduate advisor, undertakes up to a maximum of
16 units of coursework that may be counted toward the graduate degree. Upon graduation from the undergraduate institution, the accelerated degree student is able to complete the
M.S.F.E. in one additional academic year of study.
Dual Degree Program
A student who wishes to pursue the M.S.F.E. degree in conjunction with another master’s degree or Ph.D. must complete a minimum of 32 units of additional coursework
beyond what is required for the other degree. The Financial
Engineering program will accept up to 16 approved units
from another program toward the M.S.F.E. degree to reach
the total of 48 units required for the degree. Models for the
dual degree programs, specifically M.S.F.E./M.B.A;
M.S.F.E./E.M.B.A.; M.S.F.E./Ph.D.(Economics), are available from the Financial Engineering program administrator. A student can complete a dual degree program efficiently by planning with the program advisor at the beginning of graduate work with this goal in mind. See the information on Dual Degree programs in the “Degree
Regulations” section of this Bulletin for more information.
DOCTORAL PROGRAM
Doctor of Philosophy in Financial
Engineering (Ph.D.)
M.S.F.E. provides only part of the training experts will need
as they work to analyze, price, and invent the innovative
products that modern personal, corporate, and global finance
will demand. Training in financial engineering that can lead
to creation of new knowledge in the field is appropriately
achieved through the depth and breadth of study undertaken
in the pursuit of the Ph.D.
The Admission Process. The Ph.D. has a limited and highly
selective enrollment. We do not admit students directly into
the Ph.D. program. Students interested in the Ph.D. should
apply for admission to the M.S.F.E. program, following the
application requirements for admission to that program.
Upon completion of at least 24 credit hours of coursework
toward the M.S.F.E., a student may apply for admission to the
Ph.D. Application decisions are based on the M.S.F.E. application file, evaluation by the admissions committee of the
student’s performance in the M.S.F.E. program and potential
to be successful in the Ph.D. program, and assessment of the
capabilities of the program and its faculty to appropriately
meet the educational needs of the applicant for Ph.D. The
program does not provide assessments of the likelihood of
admission to the Ph.D. in advance of the formal application.
121
Students interested in a formal application to the Ph.D. in
Financial Engineering should access the Change of Degree
or Field Form (@) on the Student Records web page.
Course, Exam, and Dissertation Requirements. The
Ph.D. in Financial Engineering follows the general rules for
the granting of Ph.D.s at CGU as set forth in this Bulletin, and
requires 72 units of coursework, directed research, and independent study. All Financial Engineering Ph.D. students are
required to first complete the 48 unit M.S.F.E. program at
CGU with at least a 3.0 GPA, take two advanced (300 level)
mathematics courses as part of their M.S.F.E. electives, and
pass two written preliminary examinations: one in the mathematics of finance (based on the four M.S.F.E. core courses
in mathematics), and one in advanced finance (based on the
four M.S.F.E. core courses in finance). Upon successfully
completing these examinations, the students will be required
to take an additional 24 units of advanced coursework, independent study, and directed research in mathematics and
finance. The mathematics courses must include, in addition
to the core courses from the M.S.F.E. program, Advanced
Numerical Analysis (MATH 368) or Numerical Partial
Differential Equations (MATH 362); Advanced Stochastic
Calculus with Financial Applications (MATH 358B); and
either Time Series Analysis (MATH 351) or Econometrics III
(ECON 384). During completion of the final 24 units, students will be required to pass their last two preliminary examinations: one based on their advanced coursework in mathematics, and one based on their advanced coursework in
finance.
Upon completion of the last two written preliminary examinations and the 72 total units, students will then prepare for
and take the oral qualifying examination. The oral qualifying
examination is administered by the qualifying committee to
examine the student’s preparation for research in his or her
chosen area of financial engineering. Upon successful completion of the oral qualifying examination, the student is
advanced to candidacy for the Ph.D. At this time, the student
forms a dissertation committee and, under the direction of
the committee, carries out the research outlined in the oral
qualifying examination. The completed dissertation is
defended before the dissertation committee.
A student must maintain an average grade of B or better in all
coursework to qualify for the degree. A student whose gradepoint average falls below a B and who does not make satisfactory progress may be placed on academic probation and
is subject to being dropped from the program upon faculty
review at any time during the course of study. Grades below
B- are considered by the program to be unsatisfactory and
requiring of remedial action, as determined by the program
directors in mathematics and finance.
Transdisciplinary Course Requirement
All students who enter the doctoral program after the fall
2004 semester are required to complete the transdisciplinary
course requirement within the first two years of their program. For details on the requirement, see the “Doctor of
Philosophy Degree” section in this Bulletin.
