At the institutional level, assessment is conducted through several programs: • • • Mission Statement Assessment Project (MSAP) relies on scores obtained from a standardized exam that is administered to students at the beginning and end of their undergraduate tenure. Tulsa University Learning Assessment Project (TULAP) uses facultydeveloped, evaluative instruments (rubrics) to analyze student work that is produced in the general curriculum courses. National Survey on Student Engagement (NSSE) and Faculty Survey on Student Engagement (FSSE) obtain experiential and perception information from freshmen and seniors and the faculty who teach both groups. End-of-semester, online student evaluations provide faculty with perceptions about students’ experiences in their courses. These initiatives provide a systematic way of determining students’ ability to demonstrate the skills, knowledge, and competencies that are included in the TU Mission Statement. Both TULAP and MSAP gather assessment data on several student learning outcomes included in the University’s mission statement; consequently, it is important that every undergraduate student has the possibility of participating in these programs. Student confidentiality is ensured by presenting test results in aggregate and by removing all identifiers from course-embedded artifacts prior to review. Assessment is also done at the college and academic department levels measuring the increasingly focused missions of these smaller units. The goal is to ensure that at every level the mission of the University is achieved, and to find ways to continually improve the curriculum, teaching and student achievement. vi Contents Academic Calendar ..........................................................................................

Inside back cover viii University Administration 1 University Administration Board of Trustees The University of Tulsa’s Board of Trustees consists of active members and emeritus members. Members hold office for a term of two or three years and election of approximately one-third of the total membership is held each year. With certain exceptions, no trustee except the President may serve more than two consecutive terms, but a trustee who has served two consecutive terms (a total of 6 consecutive years) is eligible for reelection after one year off. The President of the Tulsa Alumni Board and President of the National Alumni Board serve during the term of that office. Both active and emeritus trustees are elected by a majority vote of the Board of Trustees, which determines the terms, conditions, and qualifications of membership.

Whitaker, Director of Donor Services 5 6 The University of Tulsa About The University of Tulsa As a comprehensive, doctoral-degree-granting institution with a covenant relationship to the Presbyterian Church (USA), The University of Tulsa provides undergraduate, graduate, and professional education of the highest quality in the arts, humanities, sciences, business, education, engineering, law, nursing, and applied health sciences, and participates in NCAA Division I. Its current undergraduate enrollment is about 3,400, with about 1,100 students in its graduate programs and law. The University operates on a semester basis. The University campus lies two miles east of downtown Tulsa: a handsome, vigorous, southwestern city in a metropolitan area of just under a million people set in northeastern Oklahoma’s “Green Country.” From the beginning, Tulsa’s founders — who developed a thriving economy based on oil and gas, aerospace technology, telecommunications, and health care — invested in nationally noted museums, outstanding performing arts groups, and a system of parks and recreational facilities for citizens of all ages. The city’s remarkable cultural, technological, and economic resources nourish the University’s mission and enrich its life, just as the University, in turn, enriches the city. The University’s mission is further nurtured and supported by: • • • • • • • Exceptional faculty, who draw students into the pursuit of knowledge and who include in their numbers the 1998-99 Carnegie Foundation Professor of the Year for all U.S. doctoral and research universities, a national Carnegie Foundation Pew Scholar, a Carnegie Foundation Professor of the Year for Oklahoma, and four Fellows of the Institute for Advanced Study; Graduate, professional, and research programs that foster advanced theoretical development, promote professional preparation, enhance the quality of the faculty, and extend the University’s international reach; Substantial library resources and information technology that support research and classroom learning; A world-class museum that houses notable American western art, Native American art, ethnographic holdings on indigenous peoples of the Americas, and documents on the settlement of the New World; A residential campus that fosters a sense of community and integrates curricular and extracurricular life; An urban arts center in downtown Tulsa’s historic Brady District; and Abundant opportunities for students to undertake community service, internships, and study abroad; and to participate in substantive research. History of the University of Tulsa 7 History of The University of Tulsa The University of Tulsa — a private, non-sectarian institution that has a mutually articulated covenant with the Presbyterian Church (USA) — has its roots in the Presbyterian School for Indian Girls, a small boarding school founded in 1882 in Muskogee, Indian Territory. In 1894, at the request of the Synod of Indian Territory, the Board of Home Missions of the Presbyterian Church elevated the academy’s status and chartered it as Henry Kendall College, a coeducational institution whose name honored the first General Secretary of the Home Missions Board. The first classes in the new college were held on September 12, 1894. In the years following, financial difficulties prompted school officials to ask the Synod of Indian Territory to assume control, sell the school’s land, and seek a new location. Successfully courted by the business and professional community of Tulsa, which was booming after the discovery of oil at Glenpool, Henry Kendall College moved to Tulsa in 1907, the year of Oklahoma’s statehood. Several years later, a new college, to be named after oilman Robert M. McFarlin, was proposed for the city. Aware that Tulsa was not large enough to support two competing colleges, the Henry Kendall College trustees proposed that the contemplated McFarlin College and Kendall College affiliate under the common name “The University of Tulsa.” A charter for the University was approved on November 9, 1920. In 1926, the articles of incorporation were amended to create its modern structure as an independent school corporation governed by a self-perpetuating Board of Trustees. In 1928, the School of Petroleum Engineering opened and soon earned international recognition for its curriculum and faculty. The College of Business Administration was established in 1935. In 1943, the downtown law school, previously affiliated only loosely, became part of the University. Upon his death in 1966, James A. Chapman bequeathed the University $34 million in endowment. In the 1970s, the Dimensions for a New Decade campaign raised an additional $43 million. By the beginning of 2006, total endowment funds and funds held in trust exceeded $800 million. The University currently comprises the Henry Kendall College of Arts and Sciences, the Collins College of Business (renamed in 2008), the College of Engineering and Natural Sciences, the College of Law, the Graduate School, and the Division of Lifelong Learning. The inauguration of a new College of Health Sciences is planned for 2015. After the 1970s, the character of the University changed. Although the programs in engineering and geosciences continued to bring the institution international renown, carefully selected graduate programs were added in other fields; the College of Law, the Collins College of Business, and the Henry Kendall College of Arts and Sciences were strengthened; the number of students living on campus significantly increased; and the student body — which currently hails from 44 states, the District of Columbia, and 71 different countries — became increasingly diverse. In 1984, the University established an innovative humanities-based general course of study called the Tulsa curriculum that emphasized the development of core skills in writing, mathematics, and foreign languages; increased faculty diversity; enhanced its 8 The University of Tulsa support for excellent teaching and research; defined its academic programs with greater rigor and clarity; and began recruiting highly qualified students nationwide. In addition, ten endowed chairs for faculty were established. (To date, 53 chairs, professorships and deanships have been created.) The library was strengthened by accelerated development of the rare book and manuscript collections, which regularly draw international scholars and archival materials to the University, expanding the University’s reputation as the home of one of the leading special collections libraries in the country and bringing international acclaim. In 1988, the University was awarded the Beta of Oklahoma chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, recognizing the University’s excellence in and commitment to liberal arts education for all students. These trends have continued into the present, advancing the University’s reputation for excellence. As the University continued into its second century, it completed its most ambitious capital campaign in its history, the New Century Campaign. Construction of the Donald W. Reynolds Center, a $28 million, 138,000 square foot facility with an 8,000-seat arena, was completed in 1999 with major funding in the form of a $14.75 million grant from the Reynolds Foundation. Several new buildings located west of Delaware Avenue constitute the Donna J. Hardesty Sports Complex. Completed in 2001, the Michael D. Case Tennis Center includes a 64,000-square-foot indoor facility with six courts. In addition, there are 12 outdoor courts with stadium seating around the four center courts. For student recreation, the Fulton and Susie Collins Fitness Center, a 67,000 square foot multipurpose recreation center, opened in the fall of 2002. The Hardesty complex also includes the Hurricane Soccer/Track Facility and a new softball park. Construction of the $10.5 million Mabee Legal Information Center for the College of Law was completed in January 2000. Another addition to the College of Law is the 4,000-square-foot Boesche Legal Clinic. These facilities are heavily used by both the University and larger communities. During the past decade, the University has made a commitment to developing a vibrant residential campus environment, which includes the addition of more than 800 market-quality apartments since 2001. The University constructed the University Square and Norman Village apartments in the northwest section of campus— Brown Village, Lorton Village, and Mayo Village — along the southern and eastern sections of campus, and the West Park apartment building at East 4th Place and South Lewis Avenue. The campus has continued its dramatic physical transformation during the past few years as TU completed a number of major construction projects including Bayless Plaza, home of TU’s iconic Kendall Bell; Collins Hall, home to the admission, financial aid, alumni relations, and central administration offices; the Case Athletic Complex, which houses the Golden Hurricane football offices and provides academic study resources for all TU student athletes; a complete renovation of H.A. Chapman Stadium to enhance the football game day experience; and a new south entrance along Eleventh Street that provides a grand front door to the University including Tucker Drive, Chapman Commons, and the Genave King Rogers Fountain. A 12,000-square- foot, two-story addition to McFarlin Library was completed in 2009 and houses its computer labs and student technology resources. This project also included the restoration of the library’s historic reading rooms and the addition of new amenities including the Cort and Martha Dietler Café. The Pat Case Dining Center and refurbished student residences in Fisher Hall, both completed during the summer of 2010, have dramatically improved the appearance and functionality of these spaces in Fischer Hall. History of the University of Tulsa 9 The Roxana Rózsa and Robert Eugene Lorton Performance Center, a 77,000-squarefoot facility showcasing TU’s fine and performing arts, was completed in 2011. The centerpiece of the Lorton Performance Center is the Gussman Concert Hall which includes a full performance stage. The facility is the new home of the School of Music and the Department of Film Studies. In October, 2010, ground was broken on a new engineering complex surrounding a new academic quadrangle called Samson Plaza. The J. Newton Rayzor Hall, home to electrical and computer engineering and computer science, opened in November 2011. Stephenson Hall, which houses mechanical engineering and the MacDougal School of Petroleum Engineering, opened in the fall of 2012. On May 10, 2008, The University of Tulsa renamed the College of Business Administration as the Collins College of Business to honor the vision and leadership of Tulsa businessman Fulton Collins, who chaired the TU Board of Trustees from 1997 to 2008. The business building was renamed Helmerich Hall in 2008 in honor of Walt Helmerich, Chairman of the Board and Director of Helmerich & Payne, Inc. In October, 2007, the City of Tulsa and TU agreed to an historic public-private partnership under which TU manages operations at Tulsa’s Gilcrease Museum, home to the world’s largest, most comprehensive collection of art and artifacts of the American West. The partnership, which formally began on July 1, 2008, has resulted in numerous strategic opportunities for the museum, including streamlining its management structure, advancing and preserving the collection, and providing unparalleled opportunities for academic research of the museum’s extensive holdings. The Gilcrease partnership allows TU to leverage its nationally recognized academic resources in western American history, art history, anthropology, and archaeology to create a better understanding of the museum collection. The Helmerich Center for American Research, opening in 2014, enhances scholarly opportunities at the Gilcrease Museum. The University of Tulsa is engaged in a partnership with the University of Oklahoma to participate in the Tulsa School of Community Medicine. The entry of the first class is planned for the fall of 2015. The School will address the needs of the Tulsa urban and Oklahoma rural communities that are underserved in medical and health care facilities by training doctors who are committed to the public health issues of these populations. In addition to supporting the traditional liberal arts, the University continues to maintain and strengthen its academic standards by internationalizing its programs, developing substantive research opportunities, and seeking distinction in critical fields, including environmental studies and research, computer security, nanotechnology, bioinformatics, Native American and indigenous peoples law, risk management, and taxation, to better equip its students for life in a rapidly changing world. A primary focus of the present administration is to elevate the University’s regional accolades for excellence to national prominence. As a mark of this success, since 1995, TU students have been successful with the following national competitions: 59 Goldwater Scholarships, 54 National Science Foundation Graduate Fellowships, 11 Truman Scholarships, 11 Phi Kappa Phi Graduate Fellowships, 9 Department of Defense Fellowships, 17 Fulbright Grants, 9 Morris K. Udall Scholarships, 5 British Marshall Scholarships, and 11 Benjamin A. Gilman Scholarships.. 10 The University of Tulsa In September 2005, The University of Tulsa was designated a Truman Honor Institution by the Harry S. Truman Scholarship Foundation for producing graduates dedicated to public service. The Graduate School 11 The Graduate School Graduate education at The University of Tulsa is based upon the principles that no objective lies deeper in a university’s tradition than the nurture of scholarship, and that graduate education represents the highest reaches of university endeavor. The Board of Trustees authorized graduate study leading to the master’s degree in 1933. The first master’s degree was granted in 1935. The Board of Trustees approved a curriculum leading to the Doctor of Education degree in 1951. A Doctor of Philosophy program was authorized by the Board of Trustees in 1963; Ph.D. curricula in petroleum engineering, chemical engineering, English, and earth sciences (geosciences) were inaugurated and given preliminary accreditation by North Central Association in 1966, with full accreditation in 1972. The industrial/ organizational psychology doctoral program was inaugurated in 1983, followed in 1985 by the Ph.D. program in mechanical engineering. In 1987 the doctoral programs in biological sciences and computer science were approved by the Graduate Council; and, in 1988, the Ph.D. in counseling psychology program (initiated in 1985) underwent a name change to clinical psychology. Since 2008, Ph.D. programs have been added in chemistry, physics, anthropology, mathematics, and computer engineering. The Graduate School supervises all graduate work offered by the University except that of the College of Law (College of Law information is published in a separate bulletin). The Graduate School sets standards for admission to graduate standing and recommends to the Board of Trustees for degrees those students who have completed work required for graduation. The general policies and regulations of the Graduate School are set and enforced by the Graduate Council and the Dean of the Graduate School, subject to approval by the University administration. The Dean is chair of the Council, which consists of graduate faculty members elected from each college, the deans of the colleges offering graduate work, and the president of the Graduate Student Association. Council faculty members must hold at least the academic rank of associate professor. Functions of the Graduate Council include: • • • • • • Development of policies and procedures for the Graduate School and the recommendation of these policies and procedures to the administration. Establishment of regulations for the administration of policies and procedures. Examination and approval, or rejection, of new programs and curricula proposed for the Graduate School. Development of criteria for membership in the graduate faculty. General concern for the Graduate School’s welfare and the quality of work offered. Recommendation to the Dean of the Graduate School concerning the disposition of cases filed by a student or faculty involving charges of academic misconduct involving graduate students, or perceived academic impropriety 12 The University of Tulsa • arising from an action taken by faculty.

The University offers its undergraduates the option to participate in combined Bachelor’s/Master’s degree programs, which give students the opportunity to complete both degrees in a reduced amount of time. These combined degree programs are currently available in accountancy, applied mathematics, biochemistry, biology, chemical engineering, chemistry, engineering physics, geosciences, history, women’s and gender studies, and physics. The University also offers joint programs between the Graduate School and the College of Law leading to a Juris Doctor/Master of Arts (specializing in anthropology, clinical psychology, English language and literature, history, or industrial-organizational psychology), Juris Doctor/Master of Business Administration, and Juris Doctor/Master of Science (specializing in biological science, finance, computer science, and geosciences). The Graduate School 13 Admission The majority of graduate programs at the University are, by purpose and design, not large. The number of students admitted each year is restricted to those with high qualifications. Admission to certain degree programs may be limited due to available resources and academic requirements. An applicant must hold a baccalaureate or higher degree from a college or university approved by a recognized regional accrediting agency. Applicants, having selected a major field of study, must meet requirements set by the major program and the Graduate School. Such applicants whose academic work has been superior are admitted upon approval by the major program administration and the Dean of the Graduate School. A grade point average of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale in the undergraduate major is generally required, but requirements may vary between programs and may be higher than 3.0. Fitness of character may also be considered. Each student must satisfy course prerequisites for the graduate program before being officially admitted to the degree program. The major program advisor and the Dean of the Graduate School may approve conditional admission, but a student is usually required to remove all such conditions before beginning the course of study leading to a graduate degree, except in some cases when a limited number of undergraduate courses are required to satisfy deficiencies. Applicants for admission to most graduate programs must take the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) General Tests. Applicants for admission to graduate programs in the College of Business Administration must take the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT). Information regarding times and places where the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) General Tests are given is available from the Educational Testing Service, 609771-7670, or www.ets.org. Information regarding times and places where the GMAT is given is available by calling 1-800-717-4628 or www.mba.com. A University of Tulsa undergraduate student with a distinguished academic record may enroll in graduate work in the final year before graduation or through admission to a combined bachelor’s/master’s degree program. The student must apply for admission to the Graduate School and be approved by the Dean of the Graduate School to enroll in graduate courses. Enrollment must be approved by the major program advisor as well as each individual course instructor and is governed by individual qualifications and course loads. Enrollment is limited to one 5000- or 7000- level course per semester; however, undergraduate students admitted to a combined bachelor’s/master’s degree program are permitted to enroll in up to six credit hours of 5000- or 7000-level courses per semester. Any exception to this requires the approval of the Graduate Dean. The student must use the graduate course number when enrolling in a course for graduate credit. International Applicants International applicants must hold a degree comparable to a regionally accredited U.S. bachelor’s degree and must have a strong academic performance comparable to a “B” 14 The University of Tulsa or above average grades. We use your institution’s grading scale and do not necessarily convert your grades to a four point scale. Transcripts sent to the Graduate School must be accompanied by a certified English translation, and a clear explanation of the grading system used at the institution. If an applicant is admitted, an I-20 will not be issued until a letter of financial support is provided by the applicant and/or the sponsor. Applicants for whom English is not their first language must take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) by arrangement with the Educational Testing Service, 609-921-9000 or www.toefl.org. The University of Tulsa will not accept Institutional TOEFL scores to satisfy English proficiency requirements, with the exception of its own Institutional TOEFL. If, however, the student has received his or her degree from a university in a country where English is the primary language, the TOEFL may be waived, upon petition, at the discretion of the Graduate School. The minimum TOEFL score accepted by The University of Tulsa for international applicants is 80 on the internet-based exam or 550 on the paper exam for programs offered in engineering and natural sciences and 90 on the internet-based exam or 575 on the paper exam for all other programs. Individual graduate programs may require minimum TOEFL scores higher than those stated above. Carefully review information about individual program admission requirements. Applicants may also submit a test score from the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) www.ielts.org in order to fulfill the English proficiency requirement. The minimum IELTS score accepted by The University of Tulsa for international applicants is 6.0 for programs offered in engineering and natural sciences and 6.5 for all other programs, although some individual graduate programs may require minimum IELTS scores higher than those stated above. All international graduate students must check-in with the International Student Services Office upon first arriving on campus, prior to enrolling for each semester, and prior to departing the country for vacation, professional conferences, or upon degree completion. The Graduate School will not enroll an international graduate student on a student visa unless the student is approved for enrollment by the International Student Services Office. Failure to meet routinely with the International Student Services Office may adversely affect an international student’s visa status. English Institute Admission Admission to the English Institute for International Students (EIIS) is open to all students who wish to improve their English proficiency. Those interested in attending the Institute should contact the English Institute for International Students directly by phone at 918-631-2535 or visit their website, then submit an application and the $35 application fee. Eight-week sessions are available year-round. EIIS students are eligible for University housing. Admission to the English Institute for International Students does not guarantee a student admission to academic programs at the University. Special Student Status It is possible to apply to the Graduate School as a special student. Admission to the Graduate School as a special student is outside of any graduate program; it is understood that enrollment as a special student does not lead to a graduate degree. Students are admitted to this category for certificate programs, general course work or The Graduate School 15 transfer purposes. Special students are required to meet the regular admission standards of the Graduate School. If the special student applies and is officially admitted to a degree program, six hours of course work taken as a special student may be applied toward a master’s degree and up to 12 hours of course work taken as a special student may be applied toward a doctoral degree. General Admission Procedures All students seeking admission to the Graduate School must follow these steps: • • • • • • • Make application on a form provided by the Graduate School or electronically on the application at the Graduate School website: www.utulsa.edu/graduate. Submit a nonrefundable processing fee of $40 with each application. (This fee is waived for graduates of The University of Tulsa or those who are participants in the Ronald E. McNair Scholars program). Submit official transcripts of all college- or university-level work. (Transcripts submitted with an application become the property of the University and will not be returned to the applicant.) Submit all required standardized test scores at time of application. Submit three letters of recommendation. International students must submit a letter of financial support at the time of application. Applicant’s character, integrity, and general fitness to practice a particular profession may also be considered in the admissions process. Normally, two weeks are required to process an application after all materials have been received in the Graduate School Office. However, in the case of international students requiring visas, at least three months should be allowed. The Graduate School maintains ownership of all application and application-related documents and these materials cannot be returned to the applicant. Applications and transcripts will be held on file, and admission will be valid for one calendar year. Unless the Graduate School Office is instructed otherwise, application credentials will be destroyed if enrollment is not completed within one calendar year. Students admitted provisionally are expected to fulfill all of their provisional conditions within the first semester of graduate study. Immunization Regulations Due to Oklahoma state legislation, all students who attend Oklahoma colleges and universities must provide proof of immunization against hepatitis B, measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR). Students living in on-campus housing must also provide proof of immunization again meningococcal disease. Medical, religious, and personal exemptions are allowed by law and such requests must be made in writing using The University of Tulsa Certificate of Exemption form. More information about this requirement is available on page 44 of this Bulletin. Failure to comply with these requirements will result in a hold being placed on future enrollments by the student. 16 The University of Tulsa Matriculation Exceptions to the following policies are rare and are granted only on a case-by-case basis and upon recommendation of the program administration and with the approval of the Dean of the Graduate School. Full-Time and Part-Time Status To be considered academically full time, a graduate student must be enrolled in at least nine credit hours on the Friday that concludes the second week of classes during a regular semester (fall and spring semesters). Enrollment in PSY 8800 “Psychology Internship” is also considered full-time enrollment. Enrollment in zero (as is the case when enrolled in 7990 – “Final Enrollment”) to eight credit hours is acceptable for fulltime status for two sequential regular semesters in a master’s program or four sequential semesters in a doctoral program when the student has completed at least nine credit hours per semester for the prior two sequential regular semesters. If a student does not complete his/her degree within these two reduced-credit-hour semesters for a master’s student or four reduced-credit-hour semesters for a doctoral student, then the student will be disqualified from further reduced-credit-hour full-time status until the student has enrolled in at least nine credits per semester for two sequential regular semesters. A student may enroll in up to 12 credit hours during a regular semester and eight credit hours during a summer term. However, students with full-time jobs are normally limited to a maximum of six credit hours during fall and spring semesters. For financial aid purposes, half-time enrollment is enrollment in a minimum of five credit hours during the fall and spring semesters. Enrollment in zero to eight credit hours other than as described above constitutes part-time enrollment. Graduate students who are not United States residents and are attending the University on a student visa must be enrolled prior to the first day of classes and must be full-time students as required by federal regulations. Enrollment Graduate enrollment for the summer and fall terms usually begins in April. Spring term enrollment begins in early November. Enrollment (including the addition of any courses to existing enrollment) will close at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday of the second week of classes for the fall and spring semesters. Enrollment cards for all degree-seeking students should be obtained from, and completed with the assistance of, the appropriate graduate program advisor. The card should then be presented to the Graduate School Office for final approval. Special (non-degree-seeking) students should obtain their enrollment cards in the Graduate School Office. Special students must secure the signature of the appropriate instructor for each graduate course in which they wish to enroll. Online enrollment is currently available to approved students in graduate degree programs in the arts, humanities, and social sciences. A student must be enrolled to make use of University resources (e.g., library or faculty time) during the fall or spring semester. No student may attend classes after the first class session, take qualifying exams, comprehensive exams, or graduate during a semester unless properly enrolled. Any graduate student who has enrolled in the required number of hours for a degree but has not finished all requirements must enroll in Graduate Residency (see page 17). The Graduate School 17 Failure to enroll for one or more semesters without an approved leave of absence may require an application for readmission to the degree program if the six-year Statute of Limitations (see page 23) has expired for the student’s course work. The last day of the semester is the day prior to graduation for the fall and spring semesters and the last day of classes during the summer semester, unless indicated otherwise by the instructor. Graduate Residency (7961) When a student has enrolled in the required number of hours for the degree but has not finished all requirements for the degree, he or she enrolls in Graduate Residency (7961). This requirement is particularly applicable, but not restricted, to the semester in which the student completes work for the degree. If a student is not enrolled in course work but wishes to make use of University resources (e.g., library or faculty time), to complete other academic milestones required by the program or Graduate School (e.g., take a qualifying or comprehensive examination, have an oral defense of a thesis or dissertation), or to be considered for graduation during a given semester, the student must be enrolled in Graduate Residency (7961). Final Enrollment (7990) Students who enrolled in a semester and complete their degree requirements after the end of that semester, but before the start of the next semester are required to enroll in Final Enrollment (7990). There is no charge for enrollment in 7990. Students may only enroll in 7990 after all of the requirements for the degree have been met. Circumstances where enrollment in Final Enrollment 7990 is applicable: • • • Students who submit their thesis or dissertation after commencement but before the beginning of classes for the next semester. Non-thesis students who have taken all required courses for the degree but received an “Incomplete” in one or more courses. Students who are transferred by their employer prior to their last semester at The University of Tulsa, and successfully petition the Graduate School to attend another accredited institution to complete their degree program. The credits are then transferred to appear on the student's University of Tulsa transcript as prescribed in the transfer credit policy (see Transfer Credit on page 20). If the student does not satisfy any of the above three conditions for enrolling in Final Enrollment, they will need to enroll in at least one hour of Graduate Residency or Thesis/Dissertation. Undergraduate Courses for Graduate Credit (4000/6000) In some programs, upper-level undergraduate courses, designated in this Bulletin by 6000-level course numbers, may be taken for graduate credit with the approval of the graduate program advisor. Students enrolled in these courses for graduate credit will be given assignments beyond those required for undergraduate students in the same 18 The University of Tulsa course. Students who have previously enrolled in a course at the 4000-level may not enroll in the same course at the 6000-level. The faculty responsible for the program must submit a written justification for any master’s degree program containing more than 40 percent of its total credit hours (excluding the removal of deficiencies) in 6000-level courses. Such justification must be approved by the Dean of the Graduate School. Undergraduate courses taken for graduate credit must be 6000-level courses approved for registration. Graduate tuition must be paid for such courses. Graduate Courses for Undergraduate Credit (7000/5000) The University has select graduate courses taught at the 7000-level that are cross-listed at the 5000-level and may be taken by undergraduates for undergraduate credit with the approval of the undergraduate program advisor, the instructor of the course, and the graduate program advisor for the discipline in which the course is offered. This option is intended for exceptional undergraduates with at least junior standing, and may be offered in conjunction with a combined bachelor’s/master’s degree program for TU undergraduates. Enrollment is limited to one 5000- or 7000- level course per semester; however, students admitted to a combined bachelor’s/master’s degree program are permitted to enroll in up to six credit hours of 5000- or 7000-level courses per semester while completing their undergraduate degree. Any exception to this requires the approval of the Graduate Dean. Undergraduate students in a 5000-level course must meet all the requirements and complete all of the same assignments as required for the graduate students in the 7000level of the course. Undergraduate students are evaluated in exactly the same way as the graduate students in that course. Students may not receive credit for a course at the 5000-level and then later retake the same course at the 7000-level. Auditing A student may elect to audit a course and will have all the privileges of students taking the course for credit, except taking the final examination or receiving credit for the course. Students must pay the same tuition rate for an audited course as they would if the course was taken for credit. The credit hours from audited courses are not counted when determining a student’s full-time status. An auditor may elect to take a course for credit at any time within the first three weeks of a regular semester if the course instructor and the Dean of the Graduate School give their permission. The schedule for auditing courses during a summer term should be obtained from the Office of the Registrar. Withdrawal Voluntary Withdrawal from the University. Official withdrawal from the University requires a standard procedure originating through the Graduate School. It is financially and academically advantageous to students to follow the official withdrawal procedure. Students withdrawing prior to the start of the seventh week of a regular semester are entitled to a partial refund of tuition calculated from the date of their official withdrawal. Nonattendance of classes does not constitute official withdrawal. Medical/Psychological Withdrawal. Students wishing to withdraw or take a leave of absence from the University based on a medical or psychological reason should contact The Graduate School 19 the Center for Student Academic Support to discuss their reasons for seeking a withdrawal or a leave of absence, the medical documentation required, their plans while on leave, and to work out any conditions that may be necessary for an easier transition back to The University of Tulsa. It should be noted that a student may voluntarily withdraw before the twelfth week of classes through the normal withdrawal process. The complete policies are available at the Center for Student Academic Support or online at www.utulsa.edu/CSAS. Students should seek clarification from the Graduate School as to how this affects their academic status as a full-time or part-time student. However, the six-year statute of limitations regarding course credit is still in effect. The student should also check with the Office of Student Financial Services or their loan provider regarding the effect of a leave on loan obligations or any other financial aid issues. Any financial support currently being provided to the student may or may not be available upon the student’s return. The student will be responsible for working directly with the Bursar’s Office, Housing Office and any other campus offices regarding how a leave of absence may affect any obligations to those offices. Withdrawal from the University for Military Service. Students who are called to active military duty at any time during their enrollment will be eligible for a full refund or credit of their tuition for the semester of their withdrawal. Students are strongly encouraged to discuss their situation with their graduate program advisor to consider alternate arrangements. For example, students who are called to report for active duty near the end of a semester may choose to take “incompletes” in their courses, rather than repeating the entire semester when they return to the University. The University will work closely with students to minimize the impact a withdrawal will have on their academic progress. All students called to active military duty are required to meet with the Veteran’s Coordinator in the Office of the Registrar. Non-voluntary Withdrawal from the University. Students may be required to withdraw from the University for habitual absence from class, habitual idleness, or any other behavior that prevents them from fulfilling the purposes implied by their registration in the University. A grade of “W” will be entered for each of the courses in which a student is registered. Students who have been required to withdraw must apply for readmission to the Graduate School in the same manner as that required of a suspended student. Voluntary Withdrawal from a Course. Withdrawal from a course prior to the start of the fourth week of a regular semester is considered a cancellation of enrollment, and the course is not shown on students’ academic records. Withdrawal from a course after the start of the fourth week and up to and including the twelfth week of a regular semester will be considered a partial enrollment for which a grade of W (withdrew) will be recorded. Withdrawals are not permitted after the end of the twelfth week of a regular semester. The schedule for withdrawal from courses and refund of tuition is printed in the schedule of courses for each semester. Any formal withdrawal shall constitute a forfeiture of any and all right to the subsequent make-up of incomplete grades. Non-voluntary Withdrawal from a Course. Students may be withdrawn from a class for habitual behavior which prevents the student or other students from fulfilling 20 The University of Tulsa the purposes implied by registration in the University. A grade of “W” will be entered for the course in which the student was registered. Transfer Credit Transfer credit is limited to 6 hours at the master’s level and 12 hours at the doctoral level. Only credit hours are transferable; any grades associated with transferred credit hours will not transfer and will not be included when computing the student’s GPA at The University of Tulsa. The major program advisor is responsible for determining the applicability of transfer work to the student’s program. Any such graduate credit must have been earned at an accredited graduate school and completed within the six-year statute of limitations. Transfer credit will not be granted for any course work with a grade below B. Credit for transfer work will be recommended by the major program advisor to the Graduate School only after the student has completed the same number of credit hours at The University of Tulsa with at least a 3.0 grade-point average. Transfer Credit forms are available in the Graduate School. Course work used to satisfy requirements for one graduate degree may not be used to meet the requirements for a second graduate degree. Credits earned under the Study Abroad program will appear on The University of Tulsa transcript with grades of either “P” or “F”. All transfer credit is subject to final approval by the Dean of the Graduate School. Transfer of Records The Office of the Registrar will forward official transcripts to other institutions or prospective employers when requested in writing by students. No transcript is issued for students who have not met their financial obligations to the University. The University does not issue unofficial transcripts or copies of transcripts from other institutions. Reading Days No academic activities including classes, labs, or assignments will be scheduled during designated reading days prior to final exams at the end of each semester. Academic Honesty In keeping with the intellectual ideals, standards for community, and educational mission of the University, students are expected to adhere to all academic policies. Cheating on examinations, plagiarism, and other forms of academic dishonesty violate both individual honor and the life of the community, and may subject students to penalties ranging from failing grades to dismissal. Academic misconduct also includes unauthorized or inappropriate use of University computers, vandalism of data files or equipment, use of computer resources for personal reasons unrelated to the academic and research activities of the University, plagiarism, violation of proprietary agreements, theft, or tampering with the programs and data of other users. Specific policies exist in the various colleges in addition to the overall University policies published in this Bulletin and other campus policy guides. The Graduate School 21 Scholarship Grades An overall scholastic average of 3.0 is required in all graduate work taken at The University of Tulsa. All course work taken for graduate credit is computed in the average, including the initial grade in a course that is repeated. Grades earned in the College of Law are not computed in the graduate grade-point average. No graduate credit is earned for a course in which the student received a grade below a C. Thesis and dissertation enrollments are evaluated on a pass-fail basis. An I (Incomplete) is assigned at the end of each semester when the thesis or dissertation is in progress, but, after consultation with the Graduate School, a grade of F (Fail) may be assigned in place of an I (Incomplete) by the thesis or dissertation advisor if the advisor does not believe that sufficient progress towards completion of the thesis or dissertation is being achieved. The thesis or dissertation supervisor will submit a grade change form when the student has either ceased work on the research or completed all requirements for graduation. No graduate credit will be given for work receiving a pass/fail grade, with the exception of thesis, dissertation, certain master’s reports, certain College of Law courses, certain internship work, and credit earned through study abroad. A grade of P signifies that graduate work has been completed that would otherwise receive a grade of C or higher. No graduate credit can be awarded for experiential learning that occurs prior to admission into a TU graduate program and which has not been under the supervision of a University of Tulsa faculty member. Incompletes An I (Incomplete) grade indicates that some portion of the student’s work is lacking, for an acceptable reason, at the time grades are reported. It is the responsibility of the student to fulfill the requirements for the course within a maximum of one calendar year from the date on which the course was originally to have been completed, or within a more restricted period of time as designated by the instructor on the Contract for Grade of Incomplete. If the student is unable to do so because of circumstances beyond his or her control, the student may petition the instructor of the course and the Dean of the Graduate School for an extension of time. When the instructor grants an incomplete, a Contract for Grade of Incomplete form must be completed and filed in the Graduate School Office. This form, to be signed by the instructor and by the student, should specify what must be done to remove the incomplete and give a deadline for completion of the unfinished work. The faculty may give a maximum of one calendar year for completion of the work or specify less than one calendar year on the contract. Following the expiration of the contract deadline or one calendar year, if an earlier deadline is not specified, a symbol (IZ) will be added to the transcript indicating that the course is no longer valid and the incomplete may not be removed. These regulations do not apply to theses, dissertation, or non-coursework enrollments (which includes enrollment in Practicum, Advanced Practicum, Internship, Externship, Project, Report, Research and Paper, Pre-Dissertation Research, Research Experience, 22 The University of Tulsa Independent Study, Directed Reading, or Qualifying Exam Prep) in which completion of the work necessary to satisfy that enrollment is not required at the end of the semester. An I (Incomplete) is assigned at the end of each semester when thesis, dissertation, or non-coursework enrollments are in progress and adequate progress has been made for that semester. The thesis, dissertation, or non-coursework supervisor will submit a grade change form when the student has successfully completed the work necessary to satisfy that enrollment. NG Transcript Code The NG code is assigned in lieu of a grade only when a course does not fit in the timeframe of a regular semester or summer session in the TU academic calendar (e.g. internship, externship, and practicum) and the course is still in progress when grades are due under the regular academic calendar. The faculty member assigning the code of NG will replace the code with a final grade when appropriate, normally when the timeframe for the respective course has been completed. Certification or Licensure The process of certification or licensure in some disciplines may require that the graduate student submit to and pass a background check. It is the graduate student’s responsibility to consult with her/his faculty advisor regarding such requirements and to meet such requirements in order to be properly certified or licensed. Intellectual Property A student’s research project for the master’s or doctoral degree may result in a patentable discovery, whereby the inventor may be a student or a student and advisor. Timely disclosure of the findings to The University of Tulsa Intellectual Property Committee will not delay a student’s graduation. The University of Tulsa recognizes the potential benefits of the intellectual capital of its faculty, staff and students: to society, to the University, and to themselves. The University has placed a high priority on realizing those benefits. Technical information, discoveries, inventions, computer algorithms and patents resulting from investigation or research conducted by employees or students of The University of Tulsa which is financed in whole or in part from funds administered by the University, or as a direct result of an employee's duties or a student's academic pursuits with the University, or made in whole or in part by the utilization of University resources or facilities, are the property of The University of Tulsa. The intellectual property shall, on request, be assigned to the University or its designee, unless the University relinquishes its rights therein to the inventor. Creators of intellectual property at The University of Tulsa share in the recognition and rewards derived from these works. The Graduate School 23 Academic Standing Statute of Limitations The work for a degree must be completed within six years. This policy remains in effect even if a student is absent or not enrolled during several semesters. A student who allows the time limit to expire and is subsequently readmitted must also meet the new requirements for the degree as stipulated by the program at the time of readmission. Graduate work more than six years old must be validated by the department for currentness in the discipline. In addition, the student’s knowledge resulting from this graduate work must be determined to be current and the student deemed competent by examinations, or by other means of evaluation at the discretion of the major program. When all work toward the degree is out-of-date, it is possible to validate six of the out-of-date hours to be applied toward future work on the degree. All petitions for extension must be recommended by the student’s advisor and approved by the Dean of the Graduate School. A more stringent statute of limitations may be imposed under the particular requirements of individual programs. Leave of Absence A leave of absence will be considered for up to one academic year for medical/ psychological or other extenuating circumstances upon submission of a request for a leave of absence to the Dean of the Graduate School. The Graduate School will work with the Center for Student Academic Support to review the request and notify the student if the Dean approves the requested leave. Any medical documentation submitted in support of the request for a leave of absence will be forwarded to the Center for Student Academic Support, which will maintain all documentation in confidential student files. Students should seek clarification from the Dean of the Graduate School as to how this affects their academic status as a full-time or part-time student. However, the sixyear statute of limitations regarding course credit is still in effect. The student should also check with the Office of Student Financial Services or their loan provider regarding the effect of a leave on loan obligations or any other financial aid issues. Any financial support currently being provided to the student may or may not be available upon the student’s return. The student will be responsible for working directly with the Bursar’s Office, Housing Office and any other campus offices regarding how a leave of absence may affect any obligations to those offices. Probation and Dismissal Prospective students having a cumulative grade point average below a 3.0 or marginal test scores may be admitted on probation and must establish a 3.0 average in the first nine hours of graduate work and within a specified time period. Additional requirements (e.g. successful completion of deficiency courses, completion of specified graduate courses with specified minimum grades, etc.) may be placed on a student who is admitted probationally. Failure to meet any of the conditions of probation may lead to dismissal from the Graduate School. 24 The University of Tulsa Students who have not maintained a 3.0 cumulative grade point average in graduate courses at the end of any semester or summer session will be placed on probation. Upon approval of the Dean of the Graduate School, a student on probation may be allowed to enroll in up to nine additional credit hours to achieve the required 3.0 graduate grade point average. Only courses taken at The University of Tulsa will be used to determine the grade point average for the purpose of removing probation. If the average is not improved to 3.0 after the additional nine hours, and within one semester of enrollment for full-time students or three semesters for part-time students, the student may be dismissed from the graduate program. Exceptions for additional hours beyond the nine hours to achieve the required 3.0 average are granted on a case-by-case basis upon recommendation of the major program and with the approval of the Dean of the Graduate School. If a student in a joint-degree program is placed on probation or dismissed by either the College of Law or by the Graduate School in a particular graduate degree program, that action shall pertain only to the student’s status within the particular degree program from which they are on probation or dismissed. The student may opt to continue pursuing studies within the other college or degree program. In such cases, the student will be obliged to satisfy the normal requirements of the college selected or degree program selected, which may include credit for some work done in the discontinued degree program, as determined by the Dean of the College of Law or the Dean of the Graduate School. If a student has not made satisfactory progress toward the completion of a degree program because of incompletes in course work, the student may be placed on probation and further enrollment may be affected until the work is submitted for the incomplete courses, grades are submitted, and the student’s academic progress is evaluated. A student may be placed on probation or dismissed from the Graduate School for reasons other than poor grades, even if he or she is in good academic standing. This includes, but is not limited to, the falsification of application materials, failure to satisfy stipulations imposed upon admission to the program, failure to maintain the standards of academic, ethical, or professional integrity expected in a particular discipline or program, and failure to satisfy other program or Graduate School requirements in a timely fashion as defined by established policies. Degree Card and Graduation Students who fulfill all requirements for their degree will be graduated at the end of the semester in which the requirements were met. A Degree Application card should be filed in the Graduate School when a student enrolls for the final semester of the degree program.

The student will be notified when the manuscript has been reviewed and is responsible for making any necessary corrections. The student should submit three copies of the corrected thesis on 25 percent rag or cotton content bond paper to the Graduate School. The Graduate School will initiate the completion of an “Approval and Binding of Thesis or Dissertation” form and the student will complete a Thesis/Dissertation form. The student will then submit the “Approval and Binding of Thesis or Dissertation” form to the Bursar’s Office and it must be signed and dated by the Bursar’s Office after payment of all fees. The thesis copies and the “Approval and Binding of Thesis or Dissertation” form are then delivered to the Periodical Desk in McFarlin Library and the “Approval and Binding of Thesis or Dissertation” form must be signed and dated by the library to verify delivery of the copies for binding. The student should then return the completed “Approval and Binding of Thesis and Dissertation” form showing the signatures to the Graduate School. If the thesis is not deposited in the Library within six months after the successful completion of the thesis defense, the student may be required to re-defend and update the thesis. Students graduating at the end of the spring semester must complete their oral examinations and deposit the final drafts of their theses in the library by April 15. The deadline for students graduating at the end of the fall semester is December 1, and the summer deadline is the last day of summer classes. Students who deposit the final draft of their thesis in the library after April 15 or December 1 but before the respective May or December commencement may graduate that semester upon review and approval of the Dean of the Graduate School. An abstract of not more than 150 words shall be prepared by the candidate, one copy of which is to be bound with the thesis and additional copies are to be filed with the librarian and the Graduate School Office. Some programs offer curricula not requiring a thesis. These are discussed in the appropriate sections on specific program requirements. Comprehensive Examination or Qualifying Examination Candidates may be required by the major program to pass an oral or written comprehensive examination in the major and minor fields in addition to the regular course examinations. Master of Fine Arts Degree The Master of Fine Arts degree is a 60-hour program offered only through the School of Art.

Only academic issues involving procedures and affecting status in the graduate program are considered. The Committee makes recommendations to the Dean regarding the disposition of: • • • student petitions requesting departure from established Graduate School policies, petitions involving charges of academic misconduct involving graduate students (these cases may be brought by the student or by the faculty member involved), petitions involving a perceived academic impropriety arising from an action taken by an instructor, a department, or a committee charged to administer academic policies of a particular department or college. Committee membership includes at least one graduate faculty member from each college offering graduate study. The Dean of the Graduate School designates the chair; the Committee elects the vice-chair, who presides in the absence of the chair and also in cases in which the petition being considered originates in the chair’s college. When a committee member is from the department where the petition originates, that member participates in the deliberations regarding the petition, but neither chairs the Committee nor votes on the disposition of the petition. Three or more committee members constitute a quorum; and a majority of three committee members is needed to sustain a charge. A tie vote indicates that the charge was not proven and is therefore rejected. The Committee elects a secretary who keeps the minutes of all meetings. Written records of the proceedings are preserved for three years, along with any written statements of evidence presented. A copy of the written record is available to the petitioner upon request. Costs incurred in producing the copy are the responsibility of the petitioner. The petitioner has the right to see contrary evidence submitted to the committee and to write a rebuttal. The person bringing the complaint must file the petition with the Graduate School during the semester in which the incident occurred, or during the subsequent two semesters. The petitioners may appear before the Committee, but only at the Committee’s invitation, and the Committee may also invite other concerned parties to attend. The petition is available to anyone against whom allegations are made so that those individuals may have the opportunity to respond. The Committee conveys its findings and recommendations in writing to the Dean of the Graduate School. The petitioner and any accused person may see the final report and may write a response to be kept with the final report. Any appeals concerning the outcome of the petition may be addressed to the Provost of The University of Tulsa and must be submitted within one month after the petitioner or accused person has been notified of the outcome. For further details concerning jurisdiction, procedures, and confidentiality issues concerning The Committee for Petitions of the Graduate Council, call the Graduate School Office. The Graduate School 33 Services and Programs Available to Graduate Students Competitive Research Grants and Awards The Graduate School and the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs offer several programs in which students may compete for awards. The purpose of the programs is to encourage students in their research endeavors and in the presentation of their scholarly works in a professional forum. These programs aid students with their research expenses (Student Research Grant Program) and assist with expenses associated with attendance at professional meetings to present their scholarly research (Student Travel Grants and Chapman Graduate Scholar Presentation Awards). For details, inquire at the Graduate School Office or the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs. Annual Student Research Colloquium Students, in conjunction with the Graduate School, organize an Annual Student Research Colloquium.

Students must apply for the teaching and research assistantships; awards are made upon the recommendation of the applicant’s discipline. Awards that are competitive outside a specific degree program are initiated by student self-nomination and are determined by the administration. Stipends vary according to the amount of work required and the experience of the student. No assistantship or combination of assistantships for a given student may exceed 20 hours of duties per week. Tuition scholarship awards of up to 9 credit hours remission of tuition per semester will be based on academic achievement. Students awarded financial assistance must be enrolled in at least 9 but not more than 12 credit hours of graduate work during a regular semester (fall and spring). Special permission is required to deviate from these hours except for two sequential regular semesters in a master’s program or four sequential regular semesters in a doctoral program when the student was enrolled in at least nine hours per semester for the prior two sequential regular semesters. Students must also maintain a 3.0 grade point average, be in good academic standing, and be on-track to complete their degree program. Students on probation are not eligible for consideration. The University of Tulsa maintains that a full-time graduate student receiving a graduate assistantship has a full-time commitment. Any employment in addition to the assistantship is specifically prohibited. Any violation of this policy may result in the immediate termination of the assistantship. Any request for an exception to this policy must be submitted in writing to the Graduate Program Advisor and the assistantship supervisor and must receive their approval as well as that of the Dean of the Graduate School. Employment beyond the 20 hours associated with assistantships may place either the student’s academic performance or that individual’s performance on the assistantship at risk, and may therefore jeopardize the continuation of the student’s good academic standing. The Dean will consider only requests for exceptions when employment will benefit the student’s career development or in instances of severe financial need. Applications are available from the Graduate School in Lorton Hall 201. The application deadline for most types of assistance is February 1, and recipients will be announced in early April. The Ben Henneke Research Fellowships, Foster Brooks Parriott Graduate Scholarships, Wilfred Woobank Graduate Assistantships, John S. Zink Fellowships, have an application deadline no later than January 15. The Bellwether Fellowships have an application deadline no later than December 1. Reapplication is not automatic.

Faculty, students, and staff at The University of Tulsa engage in a wide variety of research activities, participating in both externally-funded and University-funded scholarship. ORSP helps identify sources of support, provides information on program guidelines and procedures, assists in proposal development, administers grants and contracts, and funds student research grants. Visit the ORSP website at www.utulsa.edu/research/Officeof-Research-and-Sponsored-Programs.aspx for more information. TU receives funding from various sources including private foundations, industry, and federal and state agencies. As a federally funded research institution, TU must comply with federal regulations regarding the conduct of research. For example, any research project involving human subjects must be submitted to ORSP for approval by the Institutional Review Board (IRB). When animals are to be used in research, prior approval must be obtained from the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC). A listing of many of these compliance issues may be found at the ORSP website. The purpose of ORSP is to facilitate student interactions with our office and other administrative offices and to encourage students to further their scholarly pursuits at the University. Information Technology The Information Technology (IT) department provides all students and faculty with an individual network account that gives access to such services as high speed internet, the wireless network, an intranet space called Campus Connection, email, on-campus file storage, and off-site collaborative file storage.

If financial aid does not cover all of the student’s expenses, the student may pay the balance in full or participate in The University of Tulsa’s monthly payment plan. Contact the University Bursar’s Office, 918-631-2600, or visit www.utulsa.edu/offices-and-services/controller/departments/bursarsoffice.aspx to obtain information regarding the monthly payment plan. A nominal fee will be assessed to establish a monthly payment plan. Payment of current semester charges or payment arrangements must be made by 5:00 p.m. on the first day of classes. Payment arrangements may include the monthly payment plan, pending financial aid, or a combination. Payments not made when due will be subject to a finance charge of 1.5% per month. Currently enrolled students with an unpaid balance may be eligible to enroll in a subsequent semester provided that: The student balance is not in excess of $5,000.00; The student balance includes current semester charges only; and The student has established a University-approved payment plan, at least one payment of that plan has been processed, and the terms of the payment plan allow for payment in full of the current unpaid balance by the start of the semester in which the student wishes to be enrolled. A failed payment plan will result in cancellation of enrollment. If the account remains unpaid, the University reserves the right to suspend or withdraw the student from classes; to withhold grades, transcripts, and diplomas; deny future enrollments; and to require the student to move from student housing. The University accepts charges on valid Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover credit cards. Refunds If a student withdraws from his/her courses at the University, he/she may receive reduction of tuition based upon the following schedule. The reduction shall be calculated from the date on which application for withdrawal is processed. Housing and dining cancellations are processed separately based on written notice to the Housing Office. The University shall follow federally mandated refund schedules as they apply. Failure to attend classes does not constitute an official withdrawal or drop.

Insurance and Immunization Requirements Student Health Insurance. All students enrolled at The University of Tulsa are required to have health insurance coverage which provides for benefits in the State of Oklahoma. A student may obtain required coverage by purchasing health insurance coverage offered through the University, or obtain coverage provided through another carrier, such as coverage under a dependent student’s parent’s policy, as long as that coverage provides benefits for claims made in Oklahoma. If a student has a spouse and/or dependents, the student may add coverage for them under the policy offered through the University. This approach to health insurance coverage helps to ensure that all enrolled students have access to health care, especially as increasing numbers of TU students come from outside of Oklahoma. To help ensure coverage, all students will have the cost of the coverage available through the University added to their University bill each semester. However, the charge will be removed from the student’s account upon verification of other appropriate coverage. Verification must be received annually by September 15th for students enrolling in the fall semester and January 31st for students enrolling for the first time in the spring semester. Student Renter’s Insurance. Renter’s insurance is recommended for all students living in on campus or other away-from-home accommodations. In many cases, parents’ homeowner policies will cover expenses related to dependents’ expenses in external locations. However, it is wise to conduct an insurance review to assure that a student has the appropriate amount of coverage. Immunization Policy. State law requires that all students who attend Oklahoma colleges and universities provide written documentation of immunization against hepatitis B, and measles, mumps and rubella (MMR). Students who reside in on-campus housing are also required to be immunized against meningococcal (meningitis) disease. For more information on health services and immunization requirements, visit www.utulsa.edu/student-life/Health-and-Wellness/alexander-health-center.aspx or call the Alexander Health Center at 918-631-2241. Parking and Bicycle Permits All University students, faculty, and staff must register motor vehicles and bicycles that are to be parked or utilized on University parking lots, streets or bicycle racks. Parking permits and copies of parking regulations may be obtained from the Parking and Card Services office located in Fisher Hall. Parking fees are specified on page 42 of this Bulletin and at www.utulsa.edu/parking. TU One Card The Parking and Card Services office in Fisher Hall issues identification cards to all students and University employees. The cards are required for admission to the campus libraries, dining hall, residence halls, labs, selected classrooms and other facilities. Whenever students are on University property or at University events, they are required to carry their TU One Card and to present it to University officials to verify their identity. ID cards may not be loaned to anyone at any time. Disciplinary action will be Tuition and Fees 45 taken against a student who fraudulently uses another’s card, and against a cardholder who permits fraudulent use of his or her card. The TU One Card is used for admission to Student Association-sponsored programs and University athletic events. All students at The University of Tulsa are allowed one free student ticket to each athletic event. Students must present their valid University of Tulsa ID and ticket for admittance to athletic events. For more information regarding the athletic event ticket policy, visit www.tulsahurricane.com/tickets/tickets-students.html. Hurricane Gold Dollars Hurricane Gold Dollars is a safe and convenient option for on- and off-campus dining and shopping. Hurricane Gold Dollars reduces the need to carry or keep cash on hand. It is a non-interest-bearing declining balance convenience account, not a credit card or a checking account, and is tied to a student’s TU One Card. Hurricane Gold Dollars may be used at all campus dining locations, at the bookstore, in vending machines and at many off-campus merchants and restaurants. Purchases are deducted from the student’s account when the ID card is swiped at the register. When the deposited limit is reached, a student may add funds to the card by simply prepaying an amount ($25.00 or more) into the student’s Hurricane Gold Dollars account at the Parking and Card Services office in Fisher Hall or in the Bursar’s Office in McClure Hall. Students may also log on to www.MyGoldDollars.com. Banking regulations and University policy prohibit cash withdrawals during the academic year, but remaining balances are fully refundable at the end of the spring semester or upon withdrawal from the University. Requests for withdrawal of funds must be presented in writing. If a student loses a TU One Card, especially when there is money in his or her Hurricane Gold or Dining Dollars account, he or she should notify the Parking and Card Services office immediately. The student will be responsible for all transactions made by the student or by anyone else who uses the card, even if lost. However, to minimize loss, a $20.00 per day spending limit has been established for all vending locations. The Parking and Card Services office will instantly change the account number to protect the account from unauthorized use and will issue a replacement TU One Card. The fee for a replacement card is specified on page 42 of this Bulletin. Loss of an ID after normal business hours can be reported to any Hurricane Gold location with a cash register — e.g., the Hut or Pat Case Dining Center — which can “lock out” use of the missing card. Then, when the Parking and Card Services office reopens, the account number can be changed and the account reactivated. If this is not convenient, the student should leave a message on the voice mail at the Parking and Card Services office. Invalidation of the card will occur on the morning of the next business day. The University of Tulsa is not responsible for cash balances of lost cards. 46 The University of Tulsa Campus Housing and Dining The University maintains the following residential facilities that are open to both graduate and undergraduate students: Lottie Jane Mabee Hall for 287 women, John Mabee Hall for 300 men, 5th Place house for 24 men and women, Fisher West Suites for 300 women and men in double and single-room suites, the International Living Community comprises LaFortune House for 118 men and women in double and triple room suites and 7th Street House for 37 men, and approximately 774 campus apartments for upper class undergraduate students and graduate, law, married, and nontraditional students. Each residence hall room has wired and wireless internet access and expanded basic cable connection (these services are also available in the University apartments). The halls feature designated study lounges and recreational/social areas and television. Each residence hall provides vending areas and free laundry. A reception desk is staffed in each hall to provide information and check out recreational equipment to residents. Live-in professional residence directors and student assistants work with student hall governments and staff to schedule programs and activities each semester and are available for general information, counseling, and referral assistance. The Residence Hall Association (RHA) is hall government’s umbrella legislative body and represents student views to the administration, develops policy recommendations, and plans educational and social programs for all residence hall students and the apartment advisory council provides similar communication for apartment residents. In Fall 2012, a new living program was launched in LaFortune House and 7th Street House. The International Living Community (ILC) offers an excellent opportunity for American students and international students to live together in an environment that fosters interaction and understanding. The ILC is open to all members of the TU community with the goal of a balanced population of domestic and international students. The ILC concept is based on the belief that students from many different backgrounds and cultures working, studying and living together greatly enhance their education experience. Dining facilities for residential students are provided in the Pat Case Dining Center and meals to go in Food Court of Allen Chapman Student Union. Meal plans are required for all residence hall students and second year students residing in apartments. Dining plans are available to all students, even those not residing in University housing. A la carte facilities are available in ACSU, McFarlin Library and Collins Fitness Center. Housing and Dining Application and Policy Information Students living in the residence halls or apartments are subject to the terms and conditions of the Campus Living booklet, The Student Handbook, the University Bulletin(s), and the Housing and Dining Services application/license. The housing and dining application/license extends for the entire academic year. Students may also license for the summer period. If a student signs an application/license, the student agrees to use said services for the duration of the license period unless he or she either graduates in December or participates in a study abroad program. If a resident desires to arrive prior to or remain past the selected license period, this must be requested in writing and approved by the Office of Housing and Dining and additional charges will be assessed to the student’s Campus Housing and Dining 47 account. The same rules apply to the dining portion of the agreement. Any reason/request for release from the Housing and Dining License must be submitted in writing to the Housing and Dining Services office and must include appropriate documentation. The decision as to the release will be at the University’s sole discretion. Review the Housing & Dining License Terms and Conditions for more detailed information. The University may suspend participation in dining programs or remove students from housing for failure to pay charges when due or if student conduct problems arise. A one-time housing reservation fee/deposit must accompany each application. In accordance with student recommendations, this total fee is held on account until graduation or final departure from the University. Dining service agreements provide a variety of options and tremendous flexibility in support of student schedules. The dining service agreement provides food from the published beginning date of the dining program (usually in conjunction with the beginning of undergraduate classes) to the last day of undergraduate exams for the semester. The agreement does not include meals during the summer term, holidays, or vacation periods. Applications and additional information on housing and dining services may be obtained from the Office of Housing and Dining Services in Fisher Hall, 918-631-2516.

Financial Need Determination The Office of Student Financial Services uses the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine financial need. Students must submit the FAFSA directly to the processor. All information contained in these credentials is held in strict confidence. Also, financial records are protected in accordance with the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, as amended. Financial need represents the difference between the cost of attending the University and the amount that the student is expected to contribute toward the educational costs. The factors considered in determining the types and amounts of aid received by an applicant are: (1) the availability of funds; (2) the student’s financial need; and (3) the student’s classification and record of academic performance. Applicants desiring first consideration should submit their applications as soon after January 1 as possible to assure timely consideration for the next academic year. Financial Aid Packaging Packages of aid may consist of a combination of scholarship, loan, and employment. This aid packaging concept enables the University to make more funds available to a larger number of applicants. The FAFSA form is required for consideration for loans, and part-time employment opportunities. Recipients of federal aid must reapply each year to be considered for continuation in the following year. Timely submission of the FAFSA and all requested information is required to receive the largest award possible. The University of Tulsa reserves the right to reduce or rescind award packages if federal allocations to the University are insufficient to cover expenditures. Academic Requirements All students who receive financial assistance must demonstrate the ability to do satisfactory college work. High academic performance is usually required for scholarship consideration. There are minimum academic course-load requirements for the various types of financial assistance available through the Office of Student Financial Services. To be considered for financial aid, a graduate student must be enrolled at least half-time, five credit hours, for each fall and spring semester during the degree program. The only exception is the last fall and spring semester prior to completion of a master’s degree or during the last four semesters (last two fall and last two spring semesters) before completion of a doctoral degree. Students must be enrolled in at least one credit hour to be eligible for federal financial aid. If students are enrolled in an internship to complete their degree requirements and have no tuition charges, they are only eligible to borrow a private, credit-based loan. Enrollment in audit classes does not count toward eligibility Student Financial Services 51 for financial assistance. Summer eligibility is based upon the number of weeks enrolled so please contact the Office of Student Financial Services for questions regarding summer enrollment requirements. Students receiving financial aid who reduce their course loads below the required minimums after enrollment must inform the Office of Student Financial Services, which may cancel awards at any time if students fail to maintain satisfactory academic progress or minimum course-load requirements. Transient students and those who only attend summer term are ineligible for financial aid. All aid recipients must be admitted as regular students pursuing a degree program. Eligibility for continued financial assistance depends upon maintaining satisfactory academic progress and good standing. Students who do not meet satisfactory progress and good-standing criteria may not be eligible for federal financial assistance for the next academic period. If extenuating circumstances interfere or prevent students from meeting these requirements, they should contact the Office of Student Financial Services immediately. Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Federal regulations require that all recipients of student financial assistance make satisfactory academic progress toward a degree or eligible certificate. Students applying for assistance through the Federal Pell Grant, Federal SEOG, Federal Work Study, TEACH Grant, Oklahoma Tuition Aid Grant (OTAG), Federal Perkins Loan, Direct Subsidized Stafford Loan, Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loan, and Direct Parent PLUS Loan programs must meet the following three requirements to maintain their financial aid eligibility at The University of Tulsa: 1. QUALITATIVE: Students are required to maintain a required minimum cumulative grade point average. 2. QUANTITATIVE (PACE): Students are required to complete (pass) a minimum 67% of hours they attempt. 3. MAXIMUM TIME FRAME: Third, students must complete their degree within a timely manner. Satisfactory academic progress is reviewed at the end of each semester once grades have been posted to the academic transcript. Failure to meet each of these minimum academic standards will result in the loss of federal financial aid eligibility. Students are expected to know when they may be placed on Financial Aid Warning, Financial Aid Suspension or Financial Aid Probation based on the complete Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy that may be found on The University of Tulsa Financial Aid website www.utulsa.edu/admission-and-financial-aid/undergraduate-financial-aid/financial-aidpolicies/satisfactory-academic-progress.aspx. 52 1. 2.

Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy Requirements Graduate Students Total Hours Attempted from all Institutions All Hours Minimum Cumulative GPA Requirements 3.00 GPA Quantitative (Pace) - Satisfactory Completion of Semester Hours Requirement - Students must also successfully complete and pass 67% of all hours attempted to remain eligible for federal financial aid. Grades of A, B, C, D, F, P, I, MG, NG and W are all considered attempted hours. All transfer and repeat hours are included in this calculation, as well as all courses dropped within the first three weeks of the semester. Total number of credit hours successfully completed PACE = ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Total number of credit hours attempted Percentage of cumulative attempted hours a student must complete to remain eligible for Federal Student Aid Graduate Students Student must successfully complete 67% of attempted courses 3. Maximum Time Frame for Degree Completion - Students must complete their degree program within an allotted time frame to remain eligible for financial aid. The chart below indicates the time frame in which a degree must be acquired. Be aware that hour limits are cumulative; therefore, all accepted hours from all institutions attended will be included, even if a student did not receive federal student aid. The Office of Student Financial Services recommends that students contact their graduate program advisor to ensure they are taking the courses necessary to complete their degree. For financial aid purposes grades of A, B, C, D, F, P, I, MG, NG and W are all considered attempted hours. All transfer and repeat hours are included in this calculation, as well as all courses dropped within the first three weeks of the semester. Student Financial Services 53 Once students reach their maximum time frame (150% of the published length of the program) for their specified degree, they are no longer eligible for federal student aid. Attempted Hours Allowed for Earning a Degree – 150% of the published length of the degree program 54 credit hours – First Master’s 135 credit hours – Ph.D. Extension of Eligibility. If extenuating circumstances prevent satisfactory academic progress, a student may request an extension of eligibility by submitting a petition to the Office of Student Financial Services. All petitions for federal financial aid reinstatement should be received no later than the first day of class in the semester the extension will take effect. Repeated Coursework Students may receive federal financial aid consideration to repeat a previously passed course once. Student may repeat failed courses until they have attained a passing grade. An “Incomplete” grade (I) that remains on the academic record at the time satisfactory academic progress is reviewed will be treated as not completed but the attempted hours will be counted. Upon completion of the Incomplete (I) course, the grade and course will be given due credit in future consideration. Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Evaluation Satisfactory Academic Progress is evaluated at the conclusion of each academic semester after grades have been posted. All attempted hours and transfer hours are counted during this evaluation. • • • Good Standing – students that are enrolled in an eligible program, in compliance with satisfactory academic progress, and receiving federal aid. A Financial Aid Warning – is given to students for one semester who do not meet both requirements I and II shown above. This is a warning status and financial aid eligibility and payment of funds will be continued throughout the warning period. Note: A warning is not given to students regarding maximum time frame, it is the student's responsibility to know how many hours they have attempted and where they stand. Students that have been placed on Financial Aid Warning may be removed from that status and return to Good Standing by meeting the completion rate and/or cumulative grade point average requirements as set forth in the Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy by the end of the Financial Aid Warning term. Financial Aid Suspension – will be required for students who fail to meet both requirements I and II, at the conclusion of their Financial Aid Warning semester. Students cannot receive funds from the federal aid programs listed above while suspended. 54 The University of Tulsa • • • Financial Aid Probation – is assigned to students who were on “Financial Aid Suspension”, appealed and have received an appeal approval. The status of Probation is given for the next period of enrollment for one final opportunity to demonstrate satisfactory academic progress. Federal financial aid is reinstated on probationary status for one payment period only, after the appeal is approved. The student will receive an approval letter along with a list of conditions that must be performed for reinstatement of federal financial aid for the upcoming semester. Students are placed on Financial Aid Probation only once during their academic career at The University of Tulsa. The student must comply with the completion and grade point average requirements by the end of the semester. After grades for the semester are posted to the student academic transcript, the Office of Student Financial Services will review the academic performance of the student to determine if the satisfactory academic progress requirements are met. If the student meets the SAP requirements at the completion of the semester, federal financial aid is continued for future semesters. If the student cannot mathematically achieve SAP standards in one payment period, an academic plan will be required. Financial Aid Academic Plan – is the status assigned to students who were on “Financial Aid Suspension,” appealed and have received an appeal approval, however, the student cannot achieve SAP standards within one payment period. Students in this category must follow an individually designed Academic Plan developed to ensure achievement of satisfactory academic progress standards over an assigned period of time. Students remain eligible for federal aid as long as the conditions of the Academic Plan are met. Rules are applied uniformly to all students whether or not aid has been received previously. Financial Aid Appeal Process A student with extenuating circumstances may appeal a financial aid suspension by submitting a Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress Appeal form to the Office of Student Financial Services. The student can either print the form from: www.utulsa.edu/admission-and-financial-aid/undergraduate-financial-aid/Forms.aspx or pick it up in the Student Financial Services Office. Appeals must explain in detail why the student failed to meet the minimum academic standards, what extenuating circumstances caused the failure, and how the situation has since improved. Examples of extenuating circumstances include, but not limited to, illness, medical issues with immediate family members, or a death in the family. Personal or financial issues with family, friends, or roommates are not considered extenuating circumstances. The Financial Aid Appeals Committee will evaluate all documentation submitted and the student's appeal will be approved or denied. The results of the appeal will be emailed to the student's TU email account within approximately ten working days. If denied, the student is responsible for paying for their own educational costs until the student improves his/her scholastic record to meet the minimum standards. Students who were denied due to maximum time frame are responsible for paying for their own educational costs for the remainder of their degree program. Student Financial Services 55 If approved, the student will either be: 1. Placed on Financial Aid Probation for one semester only, or 2. Placed on an Academic Plan designed for completion rate and/or cumulative grade point average improvements until the standards of the SAP policy are met. The student's approval letter will explain all requirements that must be met during his/her probationary period to continue to receive financial aid. Removal from Financial Aid Suspension Without Appealing. To re-establish federal financial aid eligibility without completing the appeal process noted above, students must meet all the criteria listed in the Student Financial Services Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy. A student on Financial Aid Suspension can re-establish eligibility by meeting the standards of the SAP Policy by achieving a completion rate of 67% and a required minimum cumulative grade point average without federal and/or state financial aid assistance. Changing Majors. Students who change majors should contact the Office of Student Financial Services regarding how this will impact their satisfactory academic progress. Study Abroad or Consortium Classes. Any student who has completed a semester with Study Abroad or have a Consortium Agreement as a Visiting Student with another college or university must wait until grades have been submitted to The University of Tulsa to determine satisfactory academic progress. The student cannot receive federal financial aid for the semester until the grades are received from the institution in which the student was enrolled. Changing from Undergraduate to Master’s or from Master’s to Doctoral Programs. If the student is beginning a new degree level, satisfactory academic progress begins in a clear status for the new program. Students Who Left More Than a Year Ago. The University of Tulsa reviews satisfactory academic progress each payment period. If the student was not making satisfactory academic progress when last enrolled, provided it was more than a year ago, the student can be placed on Financial Aid Warning for the first payment period. Satisfactory Academic Progress and Part-Time Students. If the student receives part-time federal financial aid, the required hours completed for satisfactory academic progress will be reduced proportionately. Transfer Hours. Transfer hours that are accepted by The University of Tulsa and will apply toward the student’s current program and will be included as both attempted and completed hours. Audit Courses. Grades of “AU” are not counted in the total hours attempted for any semester or as successful completion of the course. Students cannot receive federal financial aid for audit courses. Independent courses may count toward successful completion of hours attempted if they are completed by the last day of the semester. For information about eligibility and payment of federal aid for this type of course, please contact the Office of Student Financial Services. Student Responsibility. Students are held responsible for reading and understanding the Satisfactory Academic Progress eligibility requirements and knowing their status at the end of each semester. If students have any questions, they should contact the Office of Student Financial Services at 918-631-2526. 56 The University of Tulsa *Please note: Financial aid warning, probation, and suspension are separate from academic probation and suspension.

Submissions of all types are encouraged, including archival, historical, biographical, and critical research. Each issue of the JJQ provides a selection of peer-reviewed essays representing the very best in contemporary Joyce scholarship. In addition, the JJQ publishes notes, reviews, letters, a comprehensive checklist of recent Joyce-related publications, and announcements of Joyce-related events. To supplement the print journal, a broad array of electronic resources for scholars, including an archive of past issues, a calendar of Joyce conference and symposiums, and an on-line checklist are available at www.utulsa.edu/jjq/. The goal of the JJQ is simple — to provide an open, lively, and multidisciplinary forum for the international community of Joyce scholars, students, and enthusiasts.

The document outlines University policy in the following areas: freedom of academic inquiry, freedom of expression, freedom of association, right to privacy, off-campus freedom, student self-government, right of students to participate in University government and the decision-making process, and standards in disciplinary proceedings. More detailed information concerning any of these areas may be obtained from the Office of Student Affairs, Holmes Student Center, and the current Student Handbook found online at www.utulsa.edu/student-life/Office-of-Student-Affairs/Student-Handbook.aspx. Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99) is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education. FERPA gives parents certain rights with respect to their children's education records. These rights transfer to the student when he or she reaches the age of 18 or attends a school beyond the high school level. Students to whom the rights have transferred are "eligible students." Eligible students have the right to inspect and review their education records maintained by the school. Schools are not required to provide copies of records unless, for reasons such as great distance, it is impossible for eligible students to review the records. Schools may charge a fee for copies. Eligible students have the right to request that a school correct records which they believe to be inaccurate or misleading. If the school decides not to amend the record, the eligible student then has the right to a formal hearing. After the hearing, if the school still decides not to amend the record, the eligible student has the right to place a statement with the record setting forth his or her view about the contested information. Generally, schools must have written permission from the eligible student in order to release any information from a student's education record. However, FERPA allows schools to disclose those records, without consent, to the following parties or under the following conditions (34 CFR § 99.31): • • • • • • • • • School officials with legitimate educational interest; Other schools to which a student is transferring; Specified officials for audit or evaluation purposes; Appropriate parties in connection with financial aid to a student; Organizations conducting certain studies for or on behalf of the school; Accrediting organizations; To comply with a judicial order or lawfully issued subpoena; Appropriate officials in cases of health and safety emergencies; and State and local authorities, within a juvenile justice system, pursuant to specific State law. Student Rights, Freedoms, and Responsibilities 75 Schools may disclose, without consent, "directory" information such as a student's name, address, telephone number, date and place of birth, honors and awards, and dates of attendance. However, schools must tell eligible students about directory information and allow eligible students a reasonable amount of time to request that the school not disclose directory information about them. Schools must notify eligible students annually of their rights under FERPA. The actual means of notification (special letter, student handbook, or newspaper article) is left to the discretion of each school. For additional information or to get a Release of Information Form, contact the Office of Student Affairs at 918-631-2327. Additional Information is also available at the Family Policy Compliance Office, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue SW, Washington, D.C. 20202-8520. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) This act includes provisions to protect the privacy of individually identifiable health information. For more information about the University’s policy, contact the Office of Human Resources. General Standards of Conduct In keeping with the ideals and standards of higher education and the mission of The University of Tulsa, students are expected to treat one another and other members of the University community with mutual respect, dignity, honor, and trust. Specifically, students are expected to respect order, fairness, morality, and the rights of others; obey the laws of the land and the regulations, rules, and policies of the University; and conduct their activities with high regard for the ideals of higher education, which include personal honor, academic honesty, and intellectual freedom. Behavior that runs contrary to these expectations provides sufficient cause for the University to initiate disciplinary proceedings, as specified in the current Student Handbook. The full text of the General Standard of Conduct as well as the rules and regulations governing student life and policies governing such issues as drug and alcohol use, sexual harassment, and sexual violence may be found in the Student Handbook found online at www.utulsa.edu/student-life/Office-of-Student-Affairs/Student-Handbook.aspx.

Thomas Foster, II The Anthropology Department at the University of Tulsa prepares students for professional careers in a variety of fields. The graduate curriculum emphasizes relations among humans, cultural institutions, and the bio-physical environment. Subjects are approached from a wide range of theoretical approaches, using various methodologies that are derived from evolutionary and ecological theory and empirical methodology. Specific areas of emphasis include anthropogenic effects on the environment, modeling human-environmental interactions, and body/mind connections in contemporary health and religious practices. The department builds a foundation for the application of anthropological theory and method to a variety of real world problems and ensures that all students learn strong basic research skills. The hallmark of the department is the individual relationships between students and faculty and the engagement of all students in cutting edge research. The department offers state-of-the-art labs, which allows for the combinations of experimental archaeological analyses with extensive fieldwork worldwide The University of Tulsa Anthropology graduate program offers several areas of notable strength: • • Culture, Behavior and Health. Many of the faculty currently conduct research into relationships among culture, behavior and health.

Master of Arts The Faculty of English offers a flexible program leading to the M.A. degree, providing both opportunities for creative expression and professional preparation for teaching and for doctoral study and scholarly research. Course work is offered in the full range of subjects defined by our faculty’s expertise and by our internationally renowned archival holdings of manuscripts and books in McFarlin Library. Specific clusters of study that carry the advantage of faculty depth and the potential for original research are: (1) Victorian and Modern British and Irish literature; (2) American studies, cultural and gender studies, African American literature, and women’s literature; and (3) Early Modern, Restoration, and Eighteenth-Century British Literature. The department also offers seminars in critical theory, in the pedagogy of composition, and in the creative writing of fiction and poetry. Each M.A. student works closely with the Director of Graduate Studies and the faculty to develop an area of emphasis suited to his/her particular interests and professional goals. 112 The Henry Kendall College of Arts and Sciences Admission. Applicants must hold a baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or university with at least 18 hours, or the equivalent, of undergraduate work in literature and language (exclusive of basic composition and basic foreign language courses). A strong undergraduate grade point average and acceptable scores on the General Tests of the Graduate Record Examination must be presented. General Requirements. The M.A. program requires 36 hours of graduate-level course work, all of which is drawn from the full range of graduate offerings (7000- and 8000-level). The M.A. is a non-thesis program: in place of a thesis each student elects, in his/her final term, an independent research project, defined by the student in consultation with the graduate director and a member of the faculty. These projects are meant to build upon the student’s individual interests and program of courses, and so range widely in subject and approach. Doctor of Philosophy The Ph.D. program in English is designed to develop knowledgeable scholars, critics, and teachers of English literature. Course work is offered and dissertations directed in the full range of subjects defined by our faculty’s expertise and by our internationally renowned archival holdings of manuscripts and books in McFarlin Library. Specific clusters of study that carry the advantage of faculty depth and the potential for original research are: (1) 20th-century literature – Modern and Contemporary British, Irish, and American literatures; (2) 19th-century literature – ante-bellum and post-Civil War literature, British and European Romanticism, Victorian literature; and (3) American studies, cultural and gender studies, African American literature, and women’s literature. Seminars are also offered in Early Modern and 18th-century literature, in critical theory, in the pedagogy of composition, and in the creative writing of fiction and poetry. The doctoral program is administered by the Director of Graduate Studies and the Graduate Program Committee. All members of the Faculty of English participate as instructors and on student committees. Admission. The doctoral program requires a minimum of 72 credit hours beyond the baccalaureate. Candidates must hold either the B.A. or the M.A. degree in English or a closely related field from an accredited college or university to apply. All applicants must present acceptable scores on the General Tests of the Graduate Record Examination, a detailed personal statement, and a writing sample of approximately 1020 pages in length. Residence Requirements. The minimum period in which the Ph.D. degree can be earned is two full academic years of study. The student must spend at least two consecutive semesters in residence as a full-time student in work toward the doctorate. Course Requirements. The doctoral program is designed to be a five-year program for students entering with the B.A.; such students will complete 54 hours of course work (including 3 hours of Directed Reading in the second year) and at least 18 hours of directed study and dissertation research. For students entering with the M.A., the program requires between 18 and 36 hours of course work to be followed by 24 hours of directed study and dissertation research. In the latter case, the precise requirements for course work are established by the Graduate Program Committee as part of the admission process. English Language and Literature 113 To assure adequate breadth and depth of preparation during doctoral course work, at least three courses in literary periods prior to 1800 and three in periods after 1800 are required. As preparation for the Qualifying Examination, doctoral students must take at least two courses in each of their declared primary fields. Language Requirements. Doctoral students are required to achieve a sound reading knowledge of one classical or modern language, as demonstrated by passing a translation test set by program faculty. Students must propose for approval the language on which they intend to be examined. The standard is a capacity to translate accurately a representative critical or scholarly passage with some bearing on the student’s field of interest. The requirement should be met as early as possible in a student’s career and must be fulfilled prior to taking the qualifying examination. Ph.D. Qualifying Examination. The qualifying examination is taken at the end of the first semester following the completion of required course work. It consists of three elements: 1) a statement of research interests, 2) written exams in two declared fields, and 3) a 60-minute oral exam. During exam preparation, candidates enroll in a minimum of 9 hours of ENGL 8791, Qualifying Exam Preparation. Literary-Historical Periods. The following literary-historical periods or areas may be used as primary fields for the Qualifying Examination: Renaissance Restoration and Eighteenth-Century British Nineteenth-Century British Romantic Victorian Twentieth-Century British and Irish Transatlantic Modernism (British, Irish, American, Anglophone) Contemporary Anglophone Early American Nineteenth-Century American Twentieth-Century American Contemporary American Procedures. In the final semester of course work, candidates submit a proposed list of fields along with evidence of sufficient course work in those fields to the Director of Graduate Studies, and, in consultation with the Director, select a committee consisting of three faculty members chosen on the basis of relevant expertise. The committee is formally responsible for defining the candidate’s fields of study, for overseeing the qualifying preparation, and for assessing the examination. Students should compile reading lists for each of the fields in consultation with faculty advisors. Students and their advisors may establish clear emphases in the chosen fields. The reading lists should not substantially overlap with each other. Examination. The examination process begins with the submission of the statement of research interests that will in most cases consist of one or more important questions that fall within the two fields. Within ten days, the candidate then sits for two written exams lasting four hours each given within the course of a week. Within two weeks following the end of the written exam, the student’s qualifying exam committee convenes a one-hour oral exam that covers both the written portion of the exams and the statement of research interests. Grading of the examination is pass/fail. Competence is understood to consist in mastery of recognized primary texts, a broad knowledge of historical context, and 114 The Henry Kendall College of Arts and Sciences familiarity with current critical issues in the two primary fields. Students passing the examination are invited to proceed directly to the preparation of a dissertation prospectus. Candidates failing the examination are offered one opportunity to repeat in the succeeding term. Failing to pass the examination a second time will lead to the termination of doctoral candidacy. Prospectus and Dissertation. Upon successful completion of doctoral examinations, students propose a dissertation topic to a member of the English faculty. When an initial proposal is agreed upon, director and student request that two other faculty members join to constitute the dissertation committee. The topic, title, committee membership, and a brief abstract are then submitted to the Graduate Program Committee for approval. Once the topic and committee are approved, the student then prepares a dissertation prospectus under the guidance of the dissertation committee. The prospectus is a statement of proposed aims and objectives for a dissertation based in the areas of the qualifying examinations. In practice, it should include 10-15 pages stating the subject matter and thesis of the proposed project, outlining its organization, and explaining its worth to the field. An extensively detailed bibliography of primary and secondary works should accompany it. Students with a clear sense of their dissertation project should complete their prospectus in the semester following the Qualifying Examinations. Ordinarily the committee then meets collectively with the student to discuss the penultimate draft of the prospectus and advise the student on the completion of the project. After each committee member, the Director of Graduate Studies, and the Department Chair have accepted the prospectus, the Director of Graduate Studies recommends that the student be admitted to candidacy. The student may not be admitted to candidacy unless each committee member, the Director of Graduate Studies, and the Department Chair have approved the prospectus. Annual Review. Beginning in their final semester of course work, all doctoral students will be reviewed annually by the Graduate Committee. The purpose of this review is to assure that students are making good progress to the degree and to provide students with candid feedback from the faculty about their performance, indicating both their strengths and their opportunities for improvement. Based on these reviews, the Graduate Committee will make one of several recommendations which might include: approval to continue work in the Ph.D. program; an expression of concern about the current progress toward the degree that contains recommendations for improving a candidate’s standing; or a recommendation of dismissal. Spring Colloquium. Each spring, the Director of Graduate Studies will convene a departmental colloquium at which all candidates at the dissertation proposal stage and beyond will be asked to present a portion of their research in a conference-style setting. Participation can be waived by the Graduate Director if this presents an unusual hardship.

Learning Objectives Master of Arts in Industrial-Organizational Psychology . Students who complete the M.A. program will have 1) the ability to apply theory and methods to help organizations solve people-related problems, 2) knowledge of the aims, practices, and strategies of organizations, workgroups, and individual workers to achieve fit, 3)knowledge of methods suited to testing the qualities of specific HR-related practices and interventions serving organizational aims, 4) the ability to communicate with technical proficiency in terms understandable by lay professionals, and 5 ) standards of academic, research, and business professionalism. Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology . The master’s program shares three training objectives with the doctoral program: (1) provide a generalist model of training in diverse aspects of psychology including biological, developmental, social, and cognitive science; (2) promote a scientific attitude toward clinical practice and prepare students for clinical research; and (3) promote high academic, ethical, and professional standards in all aspects of professional development and practice. It differs from the doctoral program in an important respect. Master’s level psychologists who graduate from our program are not prepared for independent practice or licensure. As such, the program’s fourth objective is to (4) prepare students for doctoral study in clinical psychology or further training in related fields (e.g., counseling, social work). Doctor of Philosophy in Industrial-Organizational Psychology . Students who complete the Ph.D. program will have 1) the ability to apply theory and methods to help organizations solve people-related problems, 2) knowledge of the aims, practices, and strategies of organizations, workgroups, and individual workers to achieve fit, 3) knowledge of methods suited to testing the qualities of specific HR-related practices and interventions service organizational aims, 4) the ability to communicate with technical proficiency in terms understandable by lay professionals, 5) standards of Psychology 127 academic, research, and business professionalism, and 6) the ability to design and execute research studies independently, addressing questions relevant to organizational interventions involving people. Doctor of Philosophy in Clinical Psychology. The goal of the program is to train professionally competent clinical psychologists with a broad background in the field of psychology who can apply psychological theory, assessment, research methodology, and clinical skill to complex clinical problems. To elaborate this goal, our doctoral program has four broad training objectives: (1) provide a generalist model of training in diverse aspects of psychology including biological, developmental, social, and cognitive science; (2) promote a scientific attitude toward clinical practice and prepare students for clinical research; (3) promote high academic, ethical, and professional standards in all aspects of professional development and practice; and (4) prepare students for entry level competence in and a commitment to lifelong learning about psychotherapy and assessment including the ability to adapt their approaches to diverse populations. Admission Admission to the programs is selective, and because of high demand, not all qualified applicants can be admitted. Minimum requirements for admission include a baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution, an undergraduate grade point average of 3.0 or better (on a 4-point scale), satisfactory letters of recommendation, an adequate background in psychology, and satisfactory test scores on the verbal and quantitative portions of the Graduate Record Examination. Candidates for clinical programs typically have completed a minimum of 18 credit hours of undergraduate course work in psychology including courses in abnormal psychology, and either statistics, tests and measurements, or experimental psychology. Undergraduate course work in I-O psychology, statistics, and research methods is recommended for applicants to the I-O program. Admission to the doctoral programs is open to applicants who have completed a bachelor’s degree, as well as applicants who have completed a master’s degree. Applications for admission to the graduate psychology programs are evaluated once a year for a Fall entering semester. The application deadline for the clinical psychology graduate program is December 1 and the application deadline for the I-O psychology program is December 15. Industrial-Organizational Psychology Master of Arts An M.A. degree in I-O psychology is suitable for those seeking to develop the applied skills necessary for basic consulting projects in business and government. Graduates of our master’s program typically find jobs involving analysis of jobs and people as a basis for improving the fit between them. We offer a broad array of courses, including but not limited to personnel selection, training, leadership, work motivation, work groups and teams, and several methods topics, including psychological measurement, research design, and statistics. General Requirements. The M.A. degree requires completion of 37 credit hours, including 18 hours of I-O core courses (e.g., Personnel Selection, Work Motivation, Fieldwork; see below), six hours of non-applied psychology courses (e.g., Personality), nine hours of research methodology (e.g., Statistics), and nine hours of electives. Course work meeting these requirements is designated by the Program Advisor. A thesis option 128 The Henry Kendall College of Arts and Sciences is available, but not required. Interested students are encouraged to participate in research projects under faculty supervision. Students must also complete a 200-hour internship (one credit hour), and pass a comprehensive exam covering all major aspects of I-O psychology as an applied discipline. Doctor of Philosophy A doctoral degree in I-O psychology is suitable for those seeking deeper understanding of the principles and methods of fitting people and jobs. Our Ph.D. program follows the scientist-practitioner model of psychological training, incorporating a synergy of theory, research, and practice directed to improving organizational effectiveness and worker well-being. Our doctoral program prepares students for a wide range of employment opportunities in industry, government, and consulting settings, as well as for research and university (i.e., academic) positions. General Requirements. The Ph.D. degree requires completion of 90 credit hours, including 24 hours of I-O core courses (e.g., Personnel Selection, Work Motivation, Fieldwork; see below), 12 hours of non-applied psychology courses (e.g., Personality), 12 hours of research methodology (e.g., Statistics), and 36 hours of electives, including dissertation research. The first two years of the program are structured to offer key foundational courses (e.g., Survey of I, Research Methods), with subsequent course work, research, and internships tailored to individual needs and interests. A master’s thesis is not required, but doctoral students lacking a master’s thesis must complete a pre-candidacy paper, usually in their second year, under faculty supervision. Doctoral students must also complete 400 hours of Fieldwork (i.e., internship; two credit hours), and successfully complete a comprehensive exam consisting of written, quantitative, and oral components, covering all major areas of I-O psychology. The dissertation is the last phase of the doctoral program. It requires formation of a dissertation committee, a proposal defense, data collection, data analysis, write-up, and an oral defense before the committee. Students are not formally admitted to doctoral candidacy until comprehensive exams are completed successfully and the student has passed their dissertation proposal defense. Students entering the doctoral program without a master’s degree are generally expected to earn the PhD within five years. More time may be needed for those seeking academic positions. Clinical Psychology The mission of graduate training in clinical psychology is to provide quality doctoral training in the scientist-practitioner model within a small private university setting. Science and practice are regarded as inseparable elements. Practice is regarded as the application of the theories, methods, and results of scientific psychology to clinical problems. The science of psychology is construed broadly, and students are expected to develop familiarity with a wide range of psychological theories, methods, and results. We encourage students to understand the limits of human perception, reason, and intuition, and to appreciate scientific methods as correctives to the flaws and biases of natural human judgment. Master of Arts The M.A. program in clinical psychology is a 45-credit-hour degree program that allows students to develop basic intervention, evaluation, and consultation skills. Graduates of Psychology 129 the program are prepared to assume entry-level clinical positions in agency, health-care, and organizational settings. Licensing laws of states vary widely, and students should consult the licensing body in the state in which they intend to practice to determine opportunities and requirements for licensure at the master’s level. General Requirements. The program includes formal course work in the core areas of psychology, research methods, personality and psychopathology, principles of psychological assessment and intervention, and professional issues in clinical psychology. Students are also required to complete six hours of practicum training. There is no thesis requirement. The program of study is fully described in The Handbook of Graduate Programs in Clinical Psychology at The University of Tulsa. Although much of the program is prescribed, students are allowed some flexibility in choice of electives and practicum placements. In addition to providing a solid foundation for a career in clinical psychology, the program requirements satisfy prerequisites for many doctoral programs in clinical psychology. Doctor of Philosophy The Ph.D. program in clinical psychology has been continuously accredited by the American Psychological Association (750 First Street NE, Washington, DC 20002-4242; 202-336-5979) since 1991. The program prepares graduates to become scientistpractitioners of clinical psychology. Students develop a broad range of skills for the identification, evaluation, and resolution of human problems in agency, health-care, consulting, academic, or private practice settings.

Nichols Program Director Timothy C. Coburn The Master of Energy Business (MEB) is a professional master’s program in the School of Energy Economics, Policy and Commerce primarily designed for individuals seeking to advance their careers in the energy industry through graduate training in management, business skills, and energy company operations. The program blends sound business principles with current issues and perspectives from across the global energy complex to create a distinctive educational experience. Primarily designed for working professionals, the MEB is delivered in an online instructional environment enriched by contemporary media and communication technologies. Students interact among themselves and instructors much like a traditional class, but without the physical classroom setting. Full lectures and course materials are available on demand, with completion of many of the same kinds of assignments being required as in conventional graduate courses. Students also participate in two face-toface weekend seminars presented in an executive style format in Tulsa or at other geographic locations that are centers of energy activity. Courses are taught by full-time faculty on the campus of The University of Tulsa, many of whom have direct energy company experience, along with industry practitioners and other experts. Academic units across the University are represented, including the Collins College of Business, the College of Engineering and Natural Sciences, and the College of Law. In addition, selected courses are available through an alliance with Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen, Scotland. Learning Objectives The following educational objectives have been established for the Master of Energy Business. • • • Students will actively engage with the energy business community during their MEB program. Students understand the critical issues facing today’s energy industry, including the relationships among energy policy, governmental regulation, economic development, competition, technological innovation, evolving markets, health/safety, and corporate and environmental sustainability. Students are prepared to assume management positions of increasing responsibility in energy companies, and have the multidisciplinary skills necessary to address typical managerial situations.

Following successful completion of class work, and not later than 30 months after entering the program, a student must qualify for Ph.D. candidacy by passing a set of qualifying exams. Students entering the program with a M.S. degree will take these exams within 20 months of entering the program. The exam will include both written and oral segments. Should the student fail the exam, the student has the option to be examined a second and final time. Failure of the second exam will result in dismissal from the Ph.D. track. The written exam consists of questions submitted by the graduate faculty and will be evaluated by the departmental Graduate Committee. After the written exam is passed, an oral exam based on the student’s dissertation research proposal will be administered by the student’s advisory committee, which will then recommend or deny Ph.D. candidacy, subject to approval by the Dean of the 186 The College of Engineering and Natural Sciences Graduate School. The committee must be formed prior to the qualifying exams, and must be approved by the Dean of the Graduate School. Dissertation. Each Ph.D. candidate must complete a dissertation based on the results of their research, thus demonstrating the student’s ability to conduct independent investigation in the selected areas of specialization. The research should be of adequate originality and quality to be recognized by the faculty as meeting criteria applied for publication in peer-reviewed scientific journals. The dissertation must follow the general procedures and format approved by the Graduate School. The dissertation must also be presented to the student’s full committee for review and examination. Dissertation Defense. The dissertation defense consists of a departmental seminar that details the results of the research, followed by an oral examination before the advisory committee. The examination will include a defense of the dissertation and questioning in areas related to the research. Upon approval of the dissertation and successful completion of the oral examination, the advisory committee will recommend the candidate to the Dean of the Graduate School for the Ph.D. degree. M.S. Thesis Degree Program The thesis M.S. degree option is designed for graduate students who wish to undertake a significant research project and write a thesis. Although class work is required, the focus of this degree options is research and writing. The thesis involves not only a scientific report on the research performed for the degree but also a comprehensive literature review on the subjects related to the thesis research. The thesis M.S. degree option is for those students focusing on a career that involves biological research, and gives participants hands-on training to be scientists. The thesis M.S. in Biology requires 30 hours of course work with no more than 40 percent at the 6000 level. Degree Specifications Course Work. 30 hours with no more than 40 percent at the 6000 level.

The thesis defense consists of a departmental seminar that details the results of the research followed by a satisfactory defense of the thesis in an oral exam administered by members of student’s thesis committee. M.S. Non-Thesis Degree Program The non-thesis M.S. biology degree is a course work focused program. This M.S. degree program in biology is specifically designed for professionals in the Tulsa metroplex who would like a graduate degree in biology but who work full time, such as Biological Science 187 teachers and medical technicians. It is also ideal for those pursing medical or dental careers and who require course work beyond their undergraduate degree in order to obtain the skills needed to be competitive applicants to these professional schools. Although the non-thesis M.S. is a course-work focused degree, it is not dependent on completing a set list of classes. Instead, the degree allows each student to specify a field of focus and work with advisors to choose course work within that focus to complete the degree. Options range from molecular and cellular biology to ecology, and include genetics, microbiology and physiology. The non-thesis M.S. in Biology requires 36 hours of course work with no more than 40 percent at the 6000 level. Degree Specifications Course Work. 36 hours with no more than 40 percent at the 6000 level.

Graduation is contingent upon presentation of a seminar to the department. The M.S. student will be expected to answer questions posed by the Biology Faculty related to the content of the presentation. Combined B.S./M.S. Degree Program The combined Bachelor’s/Master’s degree program allows students who are highly motivated and have a high GPA to earn both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in Biology in five years. The requirements for this program include all those for the B.S. in Biology and the M.S. in Biology. However, 6 to 9 hours of course work will be taken at the 5000 level during the student’s senior year, and these credits will count towards the MS degree as well as towards the B.S. degree in Biology (double counted). Entering freshman who need only three years to graduate (B.S. in Biology) due to AP and IB course credits may find this an attractive program since a single additional year would allow the student to graduate with a M.S. degree in Biology Undergraduates on a pre-professional track (medical, dental, veterinary, pharmacy, physical therapy, etc.) may also want to consider this as an option since the non-thesis track will provide an opportunity for graduate course work that will help them reach their career objectives. Interested students should apply during their junior year. Applicants must be full time biology majors at The University of Tulsa, and must have completed at least 75 hours of undergraduate course work with a GPA of 3.3 or higher to be considered for this program. Further, in order to be considered for the Combined B.S./M.S. degree program in Biology a student must be admitted to the M.S. program through a formal application to the Graduate School, which includes scores from the GRE and three letters of recommendation. Obtain application through the Graduate School. Degree Specifications M.S. Thesis Option: The thesis MS option is identical to that of traditional M.S. in Biology with a thesis. Course Work. 30 hours with no more than 40 percent at the 6000 level.

Students will have to complete 18 hours of courses in these four areas, with at least one course in Theory (T), one course in Architecture (A), two courses in Hardware (H), and two courses in Systems (S). 214 The College of Engineering and Natural Sciences A minimum of 48 credit hours can be earned in course work and independent study, which may include a maximum of 30 graduate course hours with grade of B or better applied from the master’s degree. All courses outside of computer science and electrical engineering must have the approval of the student’s doctoral committee and must be taken for a letter grade. Doctoral Matriculation Requirements Students entering the doctoral program with a baccalaureate degree will file a report with the graduate coordinator stating their intention to remain in the Ph.D. program and indicating their area of research. This report must be filed during the second semester of their studies and shall be supported by a graduate faculty member who becomes their designated research advisor. Failure to secure a designated research advisor will prompt a recommendation to the Graduate School that the student be removed from the Ph.D. program and entered into the Master’s program. Residency Requirements: Because research is a full-time activity and technology changes very rapidly in this field, part-time study for the Ph.D. is not encouraged. Every doctoral student is required to satisfy a one-year, full-time residency (9 hours a semester) in work towards the doctorate. Core Requirements: Every computer engineering doctoral student is required to satisfy competency requirements in four topic areas with at least one course in Theory (T), one course in Architecture (A), two courses in Hardware (H), and two courses in Systems (S). The list of topic areas is maintained and reviewed regularly by the program faculty and may be modified. Students must file a plan of study after completion of 9 hours of graduate credit toward the Ph.D. degree. This plan will be developed with their designated research advisor and the graduate coordinator to establish the courses that student plans to complete. The plan should also indicate how requirements for the four core areas are satisfied. These core requirements must be completed within the first 36 hours of graduate credit earned toward the Ph.D. degree. A student may only change the courses they have chosen in their plan with the approval of their designated research advisor. Preliminary Examination: Within one semester (not including summer session) after completion of the core competency course requirements, each student is to request a date be established for their preliminary examination. Students will be asked to pass a set of preliminary exams that will cover Architecture, Hardware, and Systems (one for each topic). The student will be allowed to pick a fourth area for their exam based on their area of research. Each student will be required to pass each of the four exams in no more than two attempts. Failure to do so will result in the student having to withdraw from the program. Advisory Committee: No later than eight weeks after successful completion of the Preliminary Examination, the student shall secure the agreement of a graduate faculty member to serve as the candidate’s dissertation advisor, which may or may not be the same as the designated research advisor, and shall request an advisory committee. The program will recommend to the Graduate School dismissal from the program of students who fail to secure a dissertation advisor. The members of the advisory committee are selected with the assistance of the candidate’s dissertation advisor, the computer science or electrical engineering graduate program advisor, and the respective department chair. When appropriate, the advisory committee may suggest alternate graduate faculty members for the committee. The advisory committee must consist of at Computer Engineering 215 least five graduate faculty members, including at least one member from outside the Tandy School of Computer Science and Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. The advisory committee must include at least one EE and one CS faculty. The candidate’s dissertation advisor chairs the advisory committee. The purpose of the advisory committee is to assist the doctoral student in identifying any deficiencies in the student’s graduate record to date, scheduling a research internship (if desired by student), scheduling the proposal defense, and evaluating the dissertation research. Proposal Defense: Within one year of passing the preliminary examination, the student must attempt the proposal defense, which is administered by the student’s Advisory committee. The student must apply for the examination at least two weeks before it is to be held. The dissertation proposal should 1) identify the research topic in an area of scientific or technological importance and should relate any progress to date, and 2) outline the scholarly research proposed that demonstrates the student’s ability to explore the topic in depth. The proposal should be of at least master’s level quality and may be undertaken as a research course of three credits. An extended master’s thesis, a properly documented computer project, or the report from a research internship may also be acceptable. The examiners may also ask questions covering the student’s major, minor, and related topics. The proposal must be accepted by the committee. Following successful completion of the proposal defense, the chair of the advisory committee submits a report to the Dean of the Graduate School, signed by all the members of the student’s committee, indicating whether the student has passed or failed. If the student fails, he or she may, at the discretion of the doctoral committee, repeat the examination within three months. One dissenting vote is permitted to grant a pass to the student on the first attempt at the proposal defense, but a unanimous vote of approval is required to pass the second attempt. Admission to Candidacy: Students that are in good standing, have passed the four areas of the computer engineering preliminary examination, successfully completed a minimum of 45 acceptable course work credits and passed the proposal defense will be recommended by the department for admission to candidacy. Doctoral Dissertation: The doctoral dissertation is the final and the most important component of the series of academic goals which culminate in the awarding of the doctoral degree. The dissertation is to be a work of original research scholarship which represents a patentable invention and/or material publishable in an archival publication. It should demonstrate the student’s ability to address a significant intellectual problem and arrive at a successful conclusion. As mentioned above, each student will be required to successfully defend a Ph.D. research proposal before his/her advisory committee prior to being admitted to Ph.D. candidacy; generally the same committee will preside over the student's final Ph.D. dissertation defense. Final Oral Examination: The final oral examination is a defense of the dissertation and is open to the public. The candidate will prepare and distribute reading copies of the dissertation to each doctoral committee member two weeks prior to the oral examination. Dissertation can only be accepted by the unanimous approval of the committee. 216 The College of Engineering and Natural Sciences Computer Engineering (CE) and Related Courses Core Areas: Theory (T), Architecture (A), Hardware (H), Systems (S) Computer Sciences (CS) The number of credits per course is indicated by the last digit of the course number. 7043 Information and Text Retrieval Basic and advanced techniques for text-based information systems: efficient text indexing; Boolean and vector space retrieval models; evaluation and interface issues; Web search including crawling, link-based algorithms, and Web metadata; text/Web clustering, classification; text mining.

Students entering the doctoral program with a baccalaureate degree will file a report with the graduate coordinator stating their intention to remain in the Ph.D. program and indicating their area of research. Such a report must be filed during the semester of their 21st graduate credit hour and shall be supported by a graduate faculty member who becomes their designated research advisor. Failure to secure a designated research advisor removes the student from the Ph.D. program and enters them into the Master’s program. Language and Residence Requirements. Because research is a full-time activity and technology changes very rapidly in this field, part-time study for the Ph.D. is not encouraged. Every doctoral student is required to satisfy a one-year, full-time residence (nine hours a semester) in work towards the doctorate. There is no foreign language requirement for the Ph.D. degree in computer science. 224 The College of Engineering and Natural Sciences Comprehensive Requirements. Every computer science doctoral student is required to satisfy competency requirements in four topic areas, one of which may include a subject area outside of computer science with approval of the student’s designated research advisor. The list of topic areas is maintained by the department. Prior to the completion of 39 hours of graduate credit toward a Ph.D., students must file a Comprehensive Qualifier plan with their designated research advisor and the graduate coordinator that establishes the four areas and modes (exam or course) of satisfying this requirement. Students will have two opportunities to execute a Comprehensive Qualifier plan. A student may only change the areas in their plan once with the approval of their designated research advisor. Students who have taken relevant courses with an A grade prior to filing a Comprehensive Qualifier plan need to obtain a letter from the instructor to certify their eligibility for using that grade to satisfy Comprehensive Requirements in that topic area. Failure to satisfy the Comprehensive Requirements within two years of starting the PhD program will result in dismissal from the program. Advisory Committee. No later than eight weeks after satisfying the Comprehensive Requirements, the student shall secure the agreement of a graduate faculty member to serve as the candidate’s dissertation advisor, which may or may not be the same as the designated research advisor, and shall request an advisory committee. The department will recommend to the Graduate School dismissal from the program of students who fail to secure a dissertation advisor. The members of the advisory committee are selected with the assistance of the candidate’s dissertation advisor, the computer science graduate program advisor, and the department chair, with the intent that this committee will become the student’s doctoral committee. When appropriate, the advisory committee may suggest alternate graduate faculty members for the doctoral committee. The doctoral committee must consist of at least five graduate faculty members, including at least one member from outside the Department of Computer Science. The candidate’s dissertation advisor chairs the doctoral committee. The purpose of the advisory committee is to assist the applicant in planning the proposed program of study for the doctoral degree. This includes identifying any deficiencies in the applicant’s graduate record to date, scheduling a research internship, and scheduling the qualifying examination. Qualifying Examination. Within one year of passing the comprehensive examination, the student must attempt the qualifying examination, which is administered by the student’s doctoral committee. The student must apply for the examination at least four weeks before it is to be held. At the time of the application, the student must furnish the members of his or her committee with 1) an in-depth written proposal for research in an area of scientific or technological importance and should relate any progress to date, and 2) a written report of a scholarly or research nature that demonstrates the student’s ability to explore the topic in depth. The report should be of at least master’s level quality and may be undertaken as a research course of three credits. A master’s thesis, a properly documented computer project, or the report from a research internship may also be acceptable. The report must be accepted by the committee. The qualifying examination consists of two parts, one written, one oral. At the discretion of the doctoral committee, a written exam may be prepared by the members of the doctoral committee in the student’s major and, if any, minor field. It may be the analysis of a significant problem in some aspect of the student’s field of specialization. It will also include advanced material in the area in which the student contemplates Computer Science 225 producing a dissertation. The oral portion consists of the oral defense of the written proposal the student submits; however, the examiners may also ask questions covering the student’s major, minor, and related topics.

A minimum IELTS score of 6.0 is also acceptable for applicants from non-English speaking countries. Students who do not satisfy these requirements but have a grade point average of 3.0 or higher in electrical engineering courses in their last two years of study may be considered for probationary admission. A student having a degree in a field other than electrical engineering may be required to take deficiency courses. General Requirements. Both the M.S.E. and M.E. programs require completion of 30 credit hours. No more than 40 percent of the total credit hours in either degree program may come from 6000 level courses. Acceptance in the M.S.E. option requires the approval of the departmental graduate faculty and will be decided on the basis of individual merit after receipt of a formal written request from the student. Upon completion of nine hours of 7000-level course work within the program, the student interested in the M.S.E. option must select an area of research and a faculty advisor. In addition, the student must file an application with the department graduate faculty for admission to the M.S.E. program. The advisor approves the remainder of the student’s study program and supervises the thesis. The advisor, after consulting with the student, recommends at least two other graduate faculty members (to serve as committee members) to the Dean of the Graduate School. At least one member of this committee must be from outside the department and may be recommended as a qualified expert from outside the University community. A 3.0 overall grade point average is the minimum acceptable performance level for the program and must be maintained for all courses applied toward the degree. Students receiving three C grades in nine hours of course work during their graduate studies may be dismissed. Grades for the design report and thesis hours are recorded on a pass-fail basis and are not computed in the grade point average, although a passing grade is required. All students in either option are required to complete the following: Core courses: 12 hours Each student is required to take EE 7073, Fundamentals of Engineering and Management.

Geosciences 241 Master’s Degree Programs A master’s degree can be earned through either a thesis or a non-thesis program. In the non-thesis program, a non-thesis report is substituted for the thesis and six credit hours of course work are added. Admission. Applicants must satisfy the general admission requirements of the Graduate School. They must also be approved by the Graduate Advisor and satisfy the following requirements: • • • • • • • Bachelor’s degree in natural science, physical science, mathematics, or engineering. An undergraduate grade point average of at least 3.0. Students who do not satisfy this requirement but have at least a 3.0 GPA in their major field may be admitted on probation at the discretion of the Graduate Advisor. Probationary status is removed by completing nine credit hours of approved graduate study with a GPA of 3.0 or higher in one semester for a full-time student and within three terms for a part-time student. Letters of recommendation from at least three professors or former supervisors who are familiar with the applicant’s work performance and academic potential. If the student’s undergraduate major is not in one of the geological sciences, admission to the Graduate School may be deferred and the student is required to take appropriate undergraduate geosciences courses, as determined by the Graduate Advisor, before reevaluation for admission. These deficiencies may, under certain circumstances and with the approval of the Graduate Advisor, be made up after admission to the Graduate School. All applicants are required to take the General Graduate Record Examination. Applicants to the non-thesis option whose native language is not English must also take the TOEFL examination and score at least 85 on the internet-based exam or 563 on the paper exam for admission to the non-thesis option. Nonnative English speakers may also submit a minimum score of 6.5 from the IELTS examination. Applicants to the thesis option are expected to submit a TOEFL score of at least 90 on the internet-based exam or 577 on the paper exam, with at least a score of 22 on the Writing subsection. Exceptional applicants with TOEFL scores below these published minimums may be admitted conditionally and required to take deficiency courses in English or retake the TOEFL examination. General Requirements. A 3.0 grade point average is the minimum needed for all master’s degree programs. No graduate credit is allowed for a course in which a grade lower than C has been received. Thesis and report grades are recorded on a pass-fail basis and are not computed in grade point averages, although a passing grade in all thesis or report credit hours is required. Initial advisement of all master’s program students is by a departmental Graduate Program Advisor. Students are expected to select a general research area and to make arrangements with a research advisor during their first year. The research advisor approves the remainder of the course of study and supervises the student’s research. 242 The College of Engineering and Natural Sciences All courses taken for graduate credit in these programs shall be selected from those listed in this Bulletin, except for students concentrating in environmental geoscience, and the choices are subject to the approval of the student’s advisor, the thesis committee, and the Graduate Advisor. Students concentrating in environmental geoscience may take up to 6 hours in the College of Law, which will be taken pass/fail and counted as courses outside the major discipline. Thesis Program Requirements Minimum credit hours outside major discipline .................................................................... 6 Required credit hours of thesis .................................................................................................. 6 Minimum credit hours of at least 7000 level, excluding thesis ........................................... 12 Minimum credit hours in major discipline, excluding thesis ................................................ 9 Maximum credit hours of independent study ........................................................................ 6 Maximum credit hours of 6000-level course work ............................................................... 12 Minimum total credit hours ................................................................................................. 30 Students may be required to complete prerequisite undergraduate courses and remove deficiencies without graduate credit, resulting in a program of more than 30 credit hours. Under the guidance of the research advisor, the student will prepare a thesis research proposal acceptable to prospective committee members. This must occur by the end of the second semester in the master’s program. The student will also present his or her research proposal orally to the thesis committee. The thesis committee consists of the research advisor, acting as chair of the committee, and a minimum of two other graduate faculty members. At least one member of the committee must be from outside the specific area of research; one member may be a recognized expert in the research area from outside the University. The thesis committee is recommended by the advisor, after consultation with the student, to the Dean of the Graduate School for approval. On completion of the research, the student will write a thesis that conforms to the Graduate School’s guidelines. With the advisor’s approval, a draft of the thesis will be forwarded to the other members of the thesis committee for examination and review. After the thesis has been reviewed and judged ready for defense by the advisor and all members of the thesis committee, the student must pass an oral defense of thesis. The oral defense will cover the research work and content of the thesis. A reading copy of the thesis that has been judged ready for oral defense by the advisor must be delivered to all members of the committee at least 14 calendar days before the date of the oral examination. The oral defense should be scheduled for a date at least one week prior to the start of final examinations in any given semester, but a student planning to graduate at the end of the spring semester must complete the oral defense and deposit the final, typed version of the thesis in the library by April 15. Published Manuscript Option. A student enrolled in the thesis option master’s program may, with the approval of the thesis committee, submit a manuscript that has been accepted by a peer-reviewed journal as a substitute for a formal thesis. The manuscript must be approved by the committee, and the student is required to document acceptance of the manuscript for publication. Although not required, it is expected that the thesis committee will be involved in the review and revision of the manuscript prior to publication. The committee may require that the student include appendices in the final document in order to preserve data and techniques that are not described in the manuscript. The final document must include the manuscript, in Geosciences 243 journal format, or a copy of the published paper, plus any required appendices. After the manuscript has been reviewed, and judged ready for defense by the advisor and all members of the thesis committee, the student must pass an oral defense. The oral defense will cover the research work and content of the manuscript. A copy of the manuscript, and the appropriate appendices, must be delivered to all members of the committee at least 14 calendar days before the date of the oral examination. The oral defense should be scheduled for a date at least one week prior to the start of final examinations in any given semester, but a student planning to graduate at the end of the spring semester must complete the oral defense and deposit the approved manuscript and appendices in the library by April 15. Non-Thesis Program Requirements Minimum credit hours outside major discipline ..................................................................... 6 Required credit hours of non-thesis option report ................................................................ 3 Minimum credit hours of at least 7000 level, excluding report .......................................... 15 Minimum credit hours in major discipline, excluding report ............................................... 9 Maximum credit hours in independent study ......................................................................... 6 Maximum credit hours of 6000-level course work .............................................................. 15 Minimum total credit hours ................................................................................................ 36 Students may be required to complete prerequisite undergraduate courses and remove deficiencies without graduate credit, resulting in a program of more than 36 credit hours. Students intending to take the non-thesis option should declare to the Graduate School at the end of their first semester (or for part-time students, after completing nine credit hours). This option requires the approval of the departmental chair and the Dean of the Graduate School. At the time of enrollment in a non-thesis option, the student must select both a general area in which to write a report and a member of the graduate faculty willing to supervise the report and approve the remainder of the study program. The report is the culmination of independent study and may be the result of an extensive literature search, fieldwork, laboratory work, or similar effort. The report must follow the general guidelines for writing a thesis and is subject to the advisor’s approval. Students in the non-thesis option must enroll in GEOL or GPHY 7913 for the report portion of their program. Combined Bachelor’s/Master’s Degree Program The combined Bachelor’s/Master’s degree program allows highly motivated students to earn a Bachelor of Science degree and Master of Science degree in Geology or Geophysics in five years. The combined program requires the same number of credits and level of work as the current bachelor’s and master’s (thesis option) degree programs, but allows an approved number of 5000 level courses to be counted toward both the undergraduate and graduate degrees. The typical undergraduate student will apply to the Graduate School for admission to the combined program at the end of the sophomore year or the beginning of the junior year. Because of the rigor and pace of this program, a minimum of a 3.5 undergraduate GPA is required for admission. Students interested in the combined BS/MS should contact the Graduate Advisor or any faculty member of the Department of Geosciences for more information concerning the program. 244 The College of Engineering and Natural Sciences Ph.D. Program The principal objectives of the Ph.D. program are to provide students an opportunity to reach a critical understanding of scientific principles underlying their fields of interest and to cultivate their ability to apply these principles creatively through training in advanced methods of analysis, research, and synthesis. Admission. An applicant must have a baccalaureate or master’s degree in physical sciences, natural sciences, engineering, or mathematics from an accredited college or university. Students with baccalaureate degrees must meet the requirements for admission to the master’s program. Admission to Ph.D. work requires at least a 3.3 grade point average in the first 30 credit hours of graduate work and approval of the Graduate Advisor and the Dean of the Graduate School. Students with master’s degrees must have a 3.3 minimum grade point average in their master’s work and be approved by the Graduate Advisor and the Dean of the Graduate School. Exceptional students whose grade point average does not meet these standards may be admitted to the Ph.D. program on a probationary basis, subject to approval by the Dean of the Graduate School. In addition, the following requirements must be met: • • All applicants are required to take the General Graduate Record Examination. Students with B.S. degrees in disciplines other than geology may wish to take the Advanced Graduate Record Examination in their major. Applicants whose native language is not English must take the TOEFL examination and score at least 90 on the internet-based exam, or 577 on the paper exam, with at least a score of 22 on the Writing subsection. Non-native English speakers may also submit a minimum score of 6.5 from the IELTS examination. Exceptional applicants with TOEFL scores below these published minimums may be admitted conditionally and required to take deficiency courses in English or retake the TOEFL examination. Curriculum Requirements. The Ph.D. program requires 72 approved credit hours of graduate credit above the baccalaureate level, distributed in the following manner: Minimum credit hours of research and dissertation, which may include six hours of master’s degree thesis credits ....................................... 36 Minimum credit hours of graduate credit in course work and independent study, including master’s degree course work .............................................................................. 36 Minimum credit hours of course work outside the major area .......................................... 12 Maximum credit hours of independent study ....................................................................... 12 Maximum credit hours of 6000-level course work ............................................................... 24 Students may be required to complete prerequisite undergraduate courses and remove deficiencies without graduate credit, resulting in a program of more than 72 credit hours. If approved by the doctoral committee (see below), as many as 30 credit hours of course work and research completed in a master’s degree program at any accredited institution may be distributed, as outlined above, among the 72 hours of graduate credit. Not more than 12 credit hours of approved doctoral-level courses beyond the M.S. may be transferred from another institution. A GPA of at least a 3.3 must be maintained. Geosciences 245 These requirements are not variable except under special circumstances and with permission of the student’s advisor and the Dean of the Graduate School. Residence Requirements. At least two consecutive semesters in residence as a fulltime student at The University of Tulsa are required. Qualifying Examination. The doctoral committee will administer the qualifying examination at the end of the second semester (for students entering with M.S. degrees in Geosciences) to determine if the student is qualified to continue pursuing doctoral research. The structure of the exam shall be determined by the doctoral committee. Outcomes for the qualifying exam include: PASS – The student is prepared to continue with research. CONDITIONAL PASS – The student must fulfill conditions for additional studies as specified by the committee. If the student fails to meet the conditions for the CONDITIONAL PASS, this will be counted as a FAIL. FAIL – The student is not prepared to continue research. The student will be allowed to retake the qualifying exam a second and last time in the following semester, for a PASS, CONDITIONAL PASS or a FAIL grade. A second failing grade will result in dismissal from the program. For students entering with no graduate course work in Geosciences, the exam will be administered at the end of the fourth semester. This exam structure guarantees that the student is prepared to move to the next level of research based on his or her research path. Doctoral Committee. A doctoral committee of a minimum of five members will be assembled when the student is enrolled. The committee membership may be amended by the student or the committee at any time in accordance with the rules of the Graduate School. The committee will consist of at least three members from the Department of Geosciences, and may contain as many as three approved researchers from other disciplines and/or institutions. The Chair of the committee will be selected by the student in cooperation with the committee. The student will work with that committee to determine his/her strengths and weaknesses. The doctoral committee will be responsible for reporting all actions and decisions to the Dean of the Graduate School. The doctoral committee will meet at least once per semester to evaluate the student’s overall progress toward the degree. If at any time during the doctoral program, the student or doctoral committee determines that additional course work is needed, that course work should be taken at that time. Admission to Candidacy. Admission to candidacy is recommended by the doctoral committee upon successful completion of the qualifying examination and acceptance of the dissertation research proposal. Dissertation Research Proposal. A research proposal detailing the planned course of research for the dissertation is developed under the supervision of the research advisor, and with the oversight of the advisory committee. It should include a literature review, research justification, description of the significance of the research, detailed methodology, and time budget. The proposal must be of professional quality. All members of the advisory committee will review the research proposal before the proposal defense. A favorable vote of a majority of the advisory committee is required for approval of the proposal. After successful defense of the proposal, the student can proceed with the planned research leading to preparation of the dissertation. Major changes in research direction must be approved by the doctoral committee, and the student should maintain contact with the committee during all stages of the research. The student is expected to present periodic progress reviews in a colloquium setting. 246 The College of Engineering and Natural Sciences Dissertation. Each Ph.D. candidate must write a dissertation based upon the results of original research. The dissertation must demonstrate the candidate’s abilities to conduct independent scientific investigation in his area of interest and must be a contribution to the understanding of geology, geophysics, or geochemistry. The dissertation will be prepared with the close supervision of the doctoral committee, and will be defended in a public forum The dissertation must also conform to the Graduate School’s guidelines. Subject to the research advisor’s approval, a draft of the dissertation is submitted to the members of the doctoral committee for review. Barring unusual circumstances, doctoral committee members must return all comments and recommendations to the student within 14 calendar days; failure to do so will result in their loss of right to make further modifications to the dissertation. Doctoral committee members are not required to act as editors but may require that the student seek professional editorial help. After the dissertation has been reviewed and judged of suitable quality by the doctoral committee, the student schedules a dissertation defense. Before scheduling the defense, the student has the responsibility to see that all rules and requirements have been met. Students should note that several dissertation drafts may be necessary before the defense can be scheduled. The reading copy of the dissertation that has been judged ready for defense must be delivered to the committee members at least 14 calendar days before the scheduled date of defense. At least one week prior to the defense a reading copy should be deposited in the departmental office for faculty and student review. Defense of Dissertation. A Ph.D. candidate must orally defend his or her dissertation in a public setting before the doctoral committee. The oral defense of the dissertation will consist of a presentation of results and conclusions followed by a public session in which the student will be expected to answer questions about the dissertation. Questions may cover all aspects of geosciences pertinent to the dissertation research. After the public session, members of the doctoral committee meet privately with the candidate for further questioning. At this time, minor changes to the dissertation may be required. The doctoral committee then meets in closed session and awards the dissertation an evaluation of unconditional pass, or conditional pass. In the case of a conditional pass, the student is responsible for revisions recommended by the committee. The defense of dissertation must be scheduled for a date at least one week prior to the start of final examinations in any given semester, but a student planning to graduate at the end of the spring semester must complete the oral defense and deposit the final, typed version of the dissertation in the library by April 15. Upon successful completion of the dissertation defense and approval of the final written version of the dissertation, the doctoral committee recommends the candidate for the Ph.D. degree. After acceptance by the Graduate School, the dissertation must be archived by UMI and published in Dissertation Abstracts.

Master of Science in Applied Mathematics This program is a professional mathematics degree designed to prepare students for work in a variety of areas, including business and industry. Program graduates will be proficient in the use of modern analytic and computational tools and will have experience in modeling and solving problems of a practical nature. Admission. An applicant must hold a baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or university, in a suitable discipline, e.g., mathematics, computer science, engineering, or science, with a 3.0 grade point average in the major field of undergraduate study. Undergraduate courses required for official acceptance are Multivariable Calculus, Ordinary Differential Equations, and Linear Algebra plus six credit hours of further Mathematics 253 mathematics beyond Calculus. Some programming experience and an acceptable score on the General Test of the Graduate Record Examination are also required. Requirements. A student who has been fully admitted to the Graduate School first meets with the Graduate Advisor for Mathematics to plan a program of study through to the completion of the degree. The program is subject to change by mutual consent, but a current version remains on file. Students must gain 30 credit hours by enrollment in approved courses, which include all 7000-level mathematics courses offered by the department and certain other courses subject to approval by the Graduate Advisor, No more than 12 credit hours of 6000level course work will be counted toward the graduate degree. Combined Bachelor’s/Master’s Degree Program The Department of Mathematics offers a combined Bachelor’s/Master’s degree program in Applied Mathematics. The graduate requirements for this program are identical to those for the current Master’s Degree program in Applied Mathematics. Up to three courses at the 5000 level may be taken and applied to both the Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in mathematics. Suitably qualified students in any of the undergraduate mathematics degree programs at The University of Tulsa may apply for admission to the Combined Degree program prior to senior year. It is recommended that MATH 4123, Linear Algebra and Matrix Theory, should be taken as early as possible, preferably during the sophomore year. Students interested in the Combined Degree program should seek enrollment advice from the Graduate Advisor for Mathematics. Students who are admitted to the Combined Degree program will have the Graduate Advisor for Mathematics assigned as their advisor for both the undergraduate and graduate portions of their Combined Degree curriculum. Master of Science in Finance/Master of Science in Applied Mathematics The curriculum consists of 54 credit hours, including 30 hours of MSF courses and 24 hours of graduate level math courses. Students must satisfy 19 credit hours of prerequisite courses before being fully admitted to the second year of the program. MSF specializations are available in Corporate Finance, Investments and Portfolio Management, or Risk Management. The student must consult with his/her academic advisor in each discipline when selecting elective courses and must take all courses specified by the respective advisors. (Also see the description of this program in the Collins College of Business section of this Bulletin.) Doctor of Philosophy The Ph.D. program in mathematics provides students with in-depth knowledge in a chosen field of mathematics, opportunities to expand this specialization into other scientific and applied disciplines, and preparation suited for careers in academia, government, or the private sector. Admission. Admission to the program requires a positive evaluation from both the mathematics graduate program advisor as well as at least one additional mathematics faculty member that might potentially serve as the supervising advisor. If the applicant has expressed a desire to pursue interdisciplinary work, then, in addition to the above 254 The College of Engineering and Natural Sciences requirement, a positive evaluation is also required from the partner discipline graduate program advisor and a potential partner discipline co-advisor. To be admissible to the Ph.D. program in Mathematics, applicants must submit a satisfactory official GRE score and satisfy all Graduate School requirements for admission and must show exceptional promise to do independent research in mathematics and its applications. Strong letters of recommendation are essential to any positive admission decision. Admission to the program will be open not just to candidates with an undergraduate degree in mathematics, but also to candidates with a degree in a relevant application area where mathematics is an essential ingredient, who have an acceptable knowledge of mathematics and are determined to expand this knowledge with a view to applying it in a partner discipline. Requirements. For students without a Master's degree, course work for the Ph.D. in Mathematics consists of 72 credit hours to be made up of a minimum of 48 credit hours of elective courses, independent study, and directed doctoral reading, and a minimum of 18 credit hours of a Mathematics Doctoral Dissertation. For students already holding a Master's degree, a variable number of hours may be applied toward the Ph.D. degree, as determined by the Departmental Graduate Committee and approved by the Graduate School. Students enrolled in the program with a partner discipline must take a minimum of 12 and up to a maximum of 24 credit hours in courses with a high mathematical content from outside the Department of Mathematics, for example (depending on the chosen partner discipline) in Computer Science, Chemical/Mechanical/Petroleum Engineering, Physics/Biology, Bioinformatics/Biostatistics, Psychology, Operations Research/Finance/Economics. Students whose dissertation research is primarily within mathematics (i.e. not essentially interdisciplinary) may take up to 15 credit hours in courses from outside the Department of Mathematics. Such courses must be approved by the advisor. No more than 15 hours of 6000-level courses, approved by the advisor, can be used for the degree. Up to 12 credit hours of graduate level work beyond the M.S. degree from a recognized research institution taken prior to enrollment in the doctoral program may be transferred with approval by the Advisory Committee, and the Graduate School. Advisory Committee. Students in the Ph.D. program will be advised initially by the Graduate Advisor for Mathematics. The student must select a research area and a supervising research advisor (and, if appropriate, co-advisors) by the end of the second semester after enrollment in the program. The supervising advisor must be a member of the mathematics graduate faculty. The student, after consultation with the supervising advisor and co-advisors, will recommend the other members of the Advisory Committee to the Dean of the Graduate School by the end of the third semester of enrollment. The Advisory Committee must have at least four graduate faculty members, consisting of at least two members from the Department of Mathematics and one member from outside the department. One member of the Advisory Committee may be a qualified expert from outside the university. At least half of the committee must be full time mathematics graduate faculty members at the University of Tulsa. The Advisory Committee approves the dissertation and administers the final oral examination. Qualifying Examinations. Following successful completion of the course requirements and the selection of a supervising advisor and/or co-advisor, and not later than 30 months after entering the program, a student must show competency for admission to Ph.D. Mathematics 255 candidacy by passing a set of three written qualifying examinations. Two of these examinations will be in mathematics, to be selected, as appropriate, from among the departmental areas of expertise that include analysis, numerical analysis, geometry/topology, statistics, and biomathematics. For students who choose to complete the program exclusively in mathematics, the third one will be on specialized material related to the dissertation topic, as decided by the research advisor or the Advisory Committee. For students involved with a partner discipline, the third examination will be in that discipline. Students entering the program with a master's degree will take these examinations within 20 months. In the event of failure, the failed sections may be retaken once. The written examination will consist of questions submitted by the departmental graduate faculty and will be evaluated by them. Dissertation Proposal. After passing the qualifying examination, subject to approval by the Dean of the Graduate School, Ph.D. students submit and defend a research proposal on their intended dissertation topic before the end of the semester following the qualifying examination. The proposal is presented orally before the Advisory Committee in a forum open to any students or faculty who wish to attend. Dissertation. Each Ph.D. candidate must write a dissertation on the results of their research, thus demonstrating the student's ability to conduct independent and original investigation in the selected area of specialization. Since this is a mathematics degree, the Ph.D. dissertation must contain an appropriate amount of original mathematical content. Candidates are expected to make adequate progress toward their degree each semester that they are enrolled in the program. The dissertation must follow the general procedures and format approved by the Graduate School and must be presented to the full Advisory Committee for review and examination. Final Oral Examination. Each Ph.D. candidate will present a seminar on their research to the university community, followed by a final oral examination before the Advisory Committee. The examination will include a defense of the dissertation and questioning in areas related to the research. Upon acceptance of the dissertation and successful completion of the oral examination, the Advisory Committee will recommend the candidate to the Dean of the Graduate School for the award of the degree of Ph.D. in Mathematics.

The Ph.D. degree usually requires course work beyond that required by a master’s degree program in the same discipline, but is primarily characterized by the Ph.D. dissertation requirement. The Ph.D. dissertation should contain significant original research and should contain material suitable for publication as refereed manuscript or manuscripts, normally as a research journal article or articles. The recipient of a Ph.D. degree should possess a broad knowledge of his or her discipline and should be prepared for a lifetime of creative intellectual inquiry. The Ph.D. dissertation should establish the candidate’s ability to read and comprehend the literature, to independently formulate a significant intellectual problem, to formulate the solution to the problem utilizing state-of-the-art knowledge and creativity, and to communicate the findings in a lucid, professional document, the Ph.D. dissertation. Admission. An applicant must have a baccalaureate degree in engineering, physics, or mathematics from an accredited institution. Applicants to the PhD program with a baccalaureate degree in a field other than petroleum engineering may be required to take additional deficiency classes in the areas of reservoir engineering, production engineering and drilling engineering. A student with a baccalaureate degree may be considered for admission to the Ph.D. program provided that the student’s academic record satisfies the following conditions: • • • An undergraduate Grade Point Average of 3.5 or greater. A composite Grade Point Average of 3.5 or greater in mathematics, science, engineering science and engineering undergraduate courses taken as an undergraduate. A quantitative GRE scores greater than or equal to 160. 270 The College of Engineering and Natural Sciences The preceding requirements are considered minimal and do not guarantee direct admission to the Ph.D. program. For international students, at the discretion of the Graduate Advisor, the requirements regarding grade point average may be replaced by a rank in the top five per cent of the student’s graduating class or the top ten percent of the student’s graduating class provided the student baccalaureate degree is from a university from which we have admitted other students into our Ph.D. program. A student without a Master’s degree who is admitted into the Ph.D. program must: • Maintain at least a 3.5 Grade Point Average in the first 18 hours of graduate work at the 7000 or 8000 level, and Complete the Ph.D. Qualifying exams and attain a pass or repeat result within two years of his or her first enrollment. • Candidates who fail to meet the preceding two requirements will be dismissed from the Ph.D. program but have the option of transferring to the Master’s program. Any student who is admitted to a Master’s degree program may apply for transfer to the Ph.D. program after completion of 18 hours of graduate course work at the 7000 level or above provided the student’s GPA in such course work is at least 3.5. All applicants must take the General Tests of the Graduate Record Examination prior to admission and have an official copy of the scores submitted to the Graduate School. It is emphasized that the above requirements are minimum requirements. It is expected that the qualifications of students entering the program will substantially exceed the minimum requirements. A student who meets only the minimum requirements in each of the above areas will, normally, be denied admission. The number of candidates in this program, both part-time and full-time, is limited. Normally, part-time students are not admitted to this program. Applicants must designate their major fields of research interest. Applicants usually are selected for admission by February 1 and September 1, but will be considered throughout the year. All applicants from non-English-speaking countries who have not received a degree from a U.S. university must satisfy English proficiency requirements (minimum TOEFL score of 80 on the internet-based test or 550 on the paper test). A minimum score of 6.0 on the IELTS examination may be substituted for the TOEFL. Curriculum Requirements. The Ph.D. program requires at least 72 approved credit hours of graduate credit above the baccalaureate level, generally distributed in the following manner: • • • At least 20 credit hours of research and dissertation (including master’s degree thesis). At least 42 hours of graduate credit in course work, including a maximum of 9 hours of approved 6000 level courses listed in this bulletin for graduate credit. A maximum of six hours of independent study will be allowed. The core courses, PE 7013, 7023, and 7063, must be included in the first 27 hours of graduate work. At least 12 credit hours of course work must be taken outside the discipline. Students may be required to complete prerequisite undergraduate courses without graduate credit, resulting in a program of more than 72 credit hours. No more than 6 Petroleum Engineering 271 hours of transfer credit beyond the master’s degree from an accredited institution may be counted toward the course requirements if acceptable to the advisory committee. These requirements are not variable except under special circumstances and with permission of the student’s advisory committee and the Dean of the Graduate School. Other Requirements Language and Residence. A candidate for the Ph.D. degree in engineering must demonstrate competence in a computer language and/or in one foreign language through readings of material in his or her major field of study. Material for this requirement is selected with the approval of the candidate’s advisory committee. At least two consecutive semesters in residence at The University of Tulsa as a full-time student are required. Advisory Committee. A student in the Ph.D. program will be advised initially by a graduate faculty member recommended by the graduate program advisor and approved by the Dean of the Graduate School. The student should select a general research area and a research advisor or co-advisors for the dissertation by the end of two semesters after enrollment in the program. The advisor or co-advisors, after consultation with the student, recommend the other members of the advisory committee to the Dean of the Graduate School. The advisory committee must have at least four members, two of whom must be petroleum engineering graduate faculty members, at least one of whom must be a University of Tulsa graduate faculty member from a department other than Petroleum Engineering, and one of whom may be a qualified expert in the research area from outside the University. The advisory committee assists with the student’s program of course work, approves the dissertation topic, and administers the final dissertation oral examination. Qualifying Examinations. The Ph.D. qualifying exams are designed to indicate whether a student has the intellectual creativity necessary to do Ph.D. research. Problems on a Ph.D. qualifying exam should be different from problems that the students taking the exam have seen before. Questions on Ph.D. qualifying exams presume background knowledge normally held by the holder of a B.S. degree in petroleum engineering who has also taken undergraduate courses in partial differential equations and either linear algebra or matrix theory. Questions may also assume that the examinee has taken the core courses PE 7013, 7023 and 7063. Students wishing to take Ph.D. qualifying exams must inform the department chair in writing four weeks prior to the exam week. The exams will normally be administered once per year, immediately preceding the first week of the fall semester. In the event that a candidate (or candidates) must retake the exam (see discussion on grading), a second exam will be offered prior to end of the fall semester following the August exams; the dates for this exam will be set by the department chairman. The Ph.D. qualifying exams consist of three four-hour exams. Each of the three exams consists of six questions and the examinee is asked to solve exactly four questions on each exam. Each full-time petroleum engineering faculty member will prepare two or three questions upon the request of the department chair. The Graduate Program Coordinator formulates the three exams at his discretion with the provision that no individual exam will contain more than one question prepared by 272 The College of Engineering and Natural Sciences an individual faculty member. Each question is graded on a zero to ten basis. Since each examinee is asked to solve a total of 12 problems, the maximum grade possible is 120. • • A grade of 75/120 or more shall constitute a passing grade. A grade less than 65/120 shall constitute a failing grade. Any student who has scored less than 65/120 will be dismissed from the program at the end of the fall semester immediately following the August qualifying exams. The faculty shall consider three options for any student who receives a grade on the qualifying exams greater than or equal to 65/120 and less than 75/120, namely, (a) the student shall be dismissed from the program at the end of the fall semester following the August qualifying exams which he or she failed; (b) the student shall be awarded a passing grade. Option (b) will be permissible only if the student has received a grade greater than 70/120; (c) the student shall be required to take the next set of Ph.D. qualifying exams. This option will only be available to students taking the August exam; decisions regarding students who take a second qualifying exam during the fall semester and whose grades are greater than or equal to 65/120 and less than 75/120 shall be based solely on options (a) and (b) above. Which of the preceding options will apply will be determined by a secret ballot of all full time petroleum engineering graduate faculty members who attend the meeting at which the results of the Ph.D. qualifying exams are discussed. The selection of option (b) or (if applicable) option (c) will require an absolute majority vote of the faculty. If option (b) or (c) is not selected by an absolute majority vote, the student will be dismissed from the program, i.e., option (a) shall prevail. For students receiving a grade greater than 70/120, option (b) will be voted on first, then, if applicable, option (c). Each student shall be informed of the outcome by his or her advisor, or, in the absence of the advisor, by the Department Chair. The Department Chair shall notify the Dean of the Graduate School of all results. A student who enters the doctoral program directly from the M.S. program at The University of Tulsa must take the first set of Ph.D. qualifying exams offered after he or she is admitted to the doctoral program. A student who enters the doctoral program after having completed an M.S. degree in petroleum engineering at another college or university must take the first set of Ph.D. qualifying exams offered after his or her first semester in petroleum engineering at The University of Tulsa. A student who enters the doctoral program after having completed a M.S. degree in a discipline other than petroleum engineering must take the first set of Ph.D. qualifying exams offered after his or her second semester in petroleum engineering at The University of Tulsa. Any exception to this policy must be approved by a two-thirds majority of the full-time faculty by a secret ballot. Research Proposal. For a student who has passed his or her Ph.D. qualifying exams, the final step for admission to candidacy for the Ph.D. degree requires that he or she prepare a typed research proposal five to fifteen pages in length which outlines the research proposed for the Ph.D. dissertation. The student’s advisor may provide general suggestions on the preparation of this proposal but should not write the proposal. The completed research proposal must be submitted to each full-time faculty member and members of the dissertation committee. The advisor will convene a meeting with the student and the dissertation committee at which the student will present the research proposal. All faculty members are invited Petroleum Engineering 273 to this presentation. This meeting should take place at least a year before the student’s graduation. Subsequent to this meeting, the dissertation committee shall recommend one of the following: • The student shall be admitted to candidacy for the Ph.D. degree. • The student shall make committee-recommended revisions to the proposal prior to being admitted to candidacy for the Ph.D. degree. The advisor will notify the department chair upon the student’s successful completion of all requirements. Candidacy. A student cannot be admitted to candidacy until the language requirement has been fulfilled, qualifying examinations have been passed, and the research proposal has been approved. Dissertation. Each candidate must write a dissertation on the results of his research. The dissertation must demonstrate the candidate’s ability to conduct independent research in the area of interest and must contribute to some field of science or engineering technology. The dissertation must follow the Graduate School’s recommended procedures for submission to the student’s advisory committee, and before final typing or reproduction, must be presented to the full advisory committee for examination and review. A letter grade is not given for the dissertation; it is graded on a pass-fail basis. Final Oral Examination. Each candidate must pass a final oral examination before the advisory committee. The examination will consist of a public defense of the dissertation and cover the general field of the dissertation as well as other parts of the program which may be chosen by the committee. The advisory committee recommends the candidate to the Dean of the Graduate School for the Ph.D. degree upon successful completion of the final oral examination and acceptance of the dissertation. Passing grades must be obtained in all the dissertation hours to fulfill degree requirements. 274 The College of Engineering and Natural Sciences Petroleum Engineering (PE) The number of credits per course is indicated by the last digit of the course number. 7003 Artificial Lift Systems Design and comparison of present-day artificial lift systems including sucker rod pumping, gas lift, electrical submersible pumping, hydraulic pumping, jet pumping, plunger lift, and other lift methods.

These combined programs encourage students to complete graduate level work as undergraduates and typically permit a restricted number of 5000-level courses to be applied to both the undergraduate and graduate degree programs. These programs have been developed to allow exceptional students the opportunity to complete a Bachelor’s degree and a Master’s degree in a reduced amount of time. Eligibility Requirements Undergraduate students who have completed at least 60 undergraduate credit hours but not more than 96 undergraduate credit hours, including credits earned from advanced placement examination, are eligible to apply to the Graduate School. Students who have completed more than 96 undergraduate credit hours may petition the Provost for an exception in order to apply. Transfer students must have completed a minimum of two consecutive semesters as a fulltime student at TU with a minimum of 24 completed TU credit hours. Students must have a minimum cumulative GPA of at least 3.4 at The University of Tulsa. Individual departments and programs may impose more restrictive requirements. Learning Objectives All combined bachelor’s/master’s degree programs utilize learning objectives as established for the stand-alone degree tracks. Refer to the separate departmental sections for learning objectives for each master’s degree option. Admission Undergraduate students are admitted to the appropriate undergraduate college so that they can begin the undergraduate portion of the program. Students potentially interested in a combined bachelor’s/master’s degree program should notify their department as early as possible. Admission to an undergraduate degree program does not ensure admission to a graduate degree program at The University of Tulsa. Before students enroll in any graduate course work, they must be admitted to the Graduate School. Students applying to the combined bachelor’s/ master’s degree program must declare their intention prior to or during their junior year by making application to the Graduate School. The process of applying to the Graduate School for the Master’s degree portion of a combined bachelor’s-master’s degree program is identical to the application for any graduate degree program and will generally require the submission of 1) a Graduate School application, 2) any and all required standardized test scores, 3) three letters of recommendation and 4) transcripts for work done at universities or colleges other than The University of Tulsa. Students who have completed at least 96 undergraduate credit hours and have an approved petition from the Provost may also apply to the Graduate School for the Combined Degree Programs 299 Master’s degree portion of a combined bachelor’s/master’s degree program. The process for applying to the Graduate School is identical to the application for any graduate degree program. Undergraduate students who apply to a combined bachelor’s/master’s degree program and are admitted into the graduate portion of the program will be admitted as a Special Student in the Graduate School until the completion of their Bachelor’s degree. Undergraduates admitted into a combined bachelor’s/master’s degree program may take 6000- and 7000-level courses for graduate credit. Not more than 6 graduate credits (6000 and 7000 level) taken as a Special Student will be applied to the Master’s degree; these credit hours are in addition to the maximum of 9 credits taken at the 5000 level. Upon completion of the Bachelor’s degree, students will matriculate into the Master’s degree program if they have maintained at least a 3.0 cumulative GPA in both their undergraduate and graduate work at The University of Tulsa and have met the additional requirements for admission to the graduate portion of their program as specified in their admission letter. Double Counting Restrictions The 5000-level course work taken for undergraduate credit by students who are admitted to the graduate portion of a combined bachelor’s/master’s program may also be applied to the graduate degree with the approval of the Graduate Program Advisor for the master’s program. A maximum of 9 credit hours of 5000-level work may be applied to the graduate degree program. 300 The University of Tulsa Joint-Degree Programs Juris Doctor/Master of Arts Juris Doctor/Master of Science Juris Doctor/Master of Business Administration Juris Doctor/Master of Science in Finance Master of Business Administration/Master of Science in Computer Science Master of Business Administration/Master of Science in Finance Master of Science in Finance/Master of Science in Applied Mathematics Learning Objectives All joint degree programs utilize learning objectives as established for the stand-alone degree tracks. Refer to the separate departmental sections for learning objectives for each master’s degree option. Juris Doctor and Master’s Degrees These programs are designed to offer full-time students an interdisciplinary degree which encompasses training in law plus expertise in a complementary field of study. The J.D./M.A. is offered in anthropology, clinical psychology, history, industrial/organizational psychology, and English Language and Literature; a J.D./M.S. is offered in biology, computer science, and geosciences; and the Collins College of Business offers a J.D./Master of Business Administration, and a J.D./Master of Science in Finance. Each J.D./M.A. and J.D./M.S. application is reviewed and the program is administered by a Joint Degree Committee, which consists of the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs from the College of Law and the designated graduate program advisor from the complementary discipline, in cooperation with the Dean of the Graduate School. Since the student may enroll in either college, financial aid must be applied for the college in which the student holds current enrollment. Students will be required to pay all fees of both programs. Tuition will be paid for each course at the rate currently in effect for the respective colleges. A joint-degree student will be eligible to participate in all extracurricular activities of both colleges. By eliminating overlapping subject area courses and using electives of each program for work in the other, a candidate for the joint degrees can reduce the total requirements by 15 to 19 credit hours. Joint degrees offered in the areas of business administration (J.D./M.B.A.) and finance (J.D./Master of Science in Finance) are designed to provide legal education so that the business students’ skills can be exercised with full knowledge of the legal environment in our society. Law students are provided further training in business so that their legal knowledge can be more effectively applied in current business situations. By eliminating overlapping subject area courses, and using the electives of each program for work in the other, a candidate for the joint degrees can reduce the total requirements by at least 15 credit hours. Joint-Degree Programs 301 Each business joint-degree application is reviewed, and the program is administered by a Joint Degree Committee, which consists of the Director of Graduate Business Programs in the Collins College of Business and the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs of the College of Law, in cooperation with the Dean of the Graduate School. Candidates for a joint degree must meet the academic standards of both the College of Law and the Graduate School. Class rank for the College of Law shall be computed for law courses only. At the conclusion of the program, the candidate will be awarded both the juris doctor and the master’s degree. Students are expected to participate in a joint meeting with both the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs from the College of Law and their graduate program advisor early in the first semester of study in a joint-degree program. Students should meet with their graduate program advisor during each subsequent semester, even if not enrolled in any graduate course work that semester. The joint-degree programs are accredited by the American Bar Association, American Association of Legal Services, and the proper accrediting agencies of the complementary disciplines, if any. All business programs are accredited by AACSB International - The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. Students in the joint-degree program are permitted to terminate plans for a joint degree, and to opt for either one or the other of the degrees. Students will be obliged to satisfy the normal requirements of the college selected, which may include credit for some work done in the other college, as determined by the Dean of the College of Law or the Dean of the Graduate School. Admission. Admission to the joint-degree programs requires two separate applications: a) a formal application to the College of Law, and b) a formal application to the Graduate School. (Please attach a letter requesting admission to the joint-degree program and responding to the question “Why do you desire to pursue this joint degree?”.) Only after the respective colleges have acted affirmatively on the separate applications will action be taken to admit the student to the joint-degree program. Admission to the joint-degree program is under exclusive control of the respective Joint Degree Committee. Normally, students will be admitted on a full-time basis only. The program is not open to students who have previously completed one of the degrees. Residence Requirements. The student is expected to enroll full time. Due to the residency requirements of the College of Law, it is recommended that the first year of the program be taken in the College of Law. The student may take the first year in the complementary discipline with the understanding that any courses taken from the College of Law will be acceptable for the law degree only with prior approval of the College of Law faculty. The remaining semesters are spent pursuing both degrees within the limitations of residency of the College of Law which requires that, in the final year, the student must be enrolled in ten hours of law courses for both semesters. The joint-degree program may be completed in three years and two summers and must be completed within six calendar years. 302 The University of Tulsa J.D./Master of Arts Degrees J.D./M.A. in Anthropology The curriculum consists of 78 credit hours of law courses, including all required subjects as established by the College of Law, 24 hours (thesis option) or 27 hours (non-thesis) in the graduate anthropology program, and 18 to 24 hours of prerequisite undergraduate anthropology courses.

The Mabee Legal Information Center (MLIC) holds more than 430,000 volumes and features a solid general legal collection as well as specialized collections in energy and environmental law and Native American law. All MLIC users have access to a vast number of law-related electronic resources, including LEXIS and WESTLAW. In addition, the MLIC houses two student journal offices, the Board of Advocates, and the Public Interest Board. The Utsey Family Native American Law Center is a beautiful and inviting reading room featuring Native American rare and primary resources and artwork representing all the Oklahoma tribes. Boesche Legal Clinic. The Boesche Legal Clinic, through the Immigrant Rights Project and the Lobeck Taylor Family Advocacy Clinic, operates as a law firm. Students gain experience interviewing and counseling clients, negotiating with attorneys, planning cases, conducting factual investigations, drafting documents, examining and preparing witnesses, working with federal, state, and local government agencies, and providing written and oral advocacy and community education workshops. The faculty and students of the Immigrant Rights Project represent non-citizens in immigration matters. Clients primarily include persons seeking asylum in the United States as a result of persecution or a fear of persecution in their home countries. The clinic may also represent non-citizen victims of domestic violence, unaccompanied noncitizen minors, or other non-citizens subject to removal and immigration detention. In the Lobeck Taylor Family Advocacy Clinic, students serve the Tulsa community by providing representation that increases access to justice for low-income individuals and families. Clinic cases may involve legal issues related to domestic violence, housing, public benefits, consumer debt, or collateral challenges that stem from clients’ involvement in the criminal justice system. Price and Turpen Courtroom. The Price and Turpen Courtroom, designed for the future of legal instruction, includes a state-of-the art sound system, broadcast and recording capabilities, videoconferencing technology, and wireless network access. The room is a working courtroom and the venue for several Oklahoma civil and criminal cases each year. Externships. The externship program offers 2L and 3L students the opportunity to earn academic credit while gaining practical client experience in the field. Students work in a legal setting under the direct supervision of a licensed attorney or judge while also taking a contemporaneous academic course which provides the opportunity for reflection and additional substantive knowledge. Externships provide students the opportunity to move from thinking like a lawyer in the classroom to thinking like a lawyer in a practice setting through work on real cases and legal issues. Opportunities exist in a broad range of civil and criminal litigation as well as transactional law. Placements include courts, law firms, government agencies, non-profit organizations and corporate legal departments. Full semester out-of-state placements are available during the summers and/or the last semester of the 3L year. Sustainable Energy and Resources Law (SERL) Program. The SERL Program has three principal objectives: 1) offer comprehensive training in the fields of energy, environmental, and natural resources law; 2) produce nationally and internationally recognized scholarship and research that contributes to the public policy debate; and 3) facilitate communication among the many individuals, companies, organizations, and public bodies interested in energy, environmental and natural resources, with the College of Law 315 expectation that such communication will lead to more enlightened national and international laws and policies. SERL accomplishes its objectives through an advanced curriculum; the scholarship and public presentations of the SERL faculty and members of the SERL Board of Visitors; publication of the Energy Law Journal in conjunction with the Energy Bar Association; publication of the Environment, Energy, and Resources Law: The Year in Review in conjunction with the ABA Section of Environment, Energy and Resources; and student-centered co-curricular activities in conjunction with the student-led Resources, Energy, and Environmental Law Society (REELS). SERL’s curricular offerings include a Sustainable Energy and Resources Law Certificate for J.D. students, an LL.M. for Foreign Graduates, and an online Master of Jurisprudence in Energy Law designed primarily for non-lawyers. SERL’s co-curricular activities include opportunities to work and network with members of its partner organizations, including the Energy Bar Association; the ABA Section of Environment, Energy and Resources; REELS; and the SERL Board of Visitors, which is comprised of energy, environmental and natural resources professionals in the midst of prestigious careers.

K. Warren Foundation. Currently, five of the principal investigators at LIBR hold faculty appointments in the Tulsa University Faculty of Community Medicine. Assistant Professors Patrick Bellgowan Justin Feinstein Paul Hamilton Jonathan Savitz W. Kyle Simmons The Tulsa University Faculty of Community Medicine (TUFCM) is an academic unit within The University of Tulsa that supports the Tulsa School of Community Medicine (TSCM). The TSCM is a medical school which is being established under joint sponsorship of The University of Tulsa and the University of Oklahoma. It will draw faculty from both institutions with medical science faculty largely resident at The University of Tulsa (TUFCM) and clinical faculty predominantly drawn from the University of Oklahoma. The TUFCM is under the administrative authority of the Dean of the Graduate School and Vice Provost for Research of The University of Tulsa. Faculty in TUFCM will teach in the TSCM, and in that role their curriculum and supervision will be under the dean of the medical school. It is expected that the new medical school will accept its first students in the fall of 2015. The school is being established to address the need for more medical doctors in Oklahoma, especially ones who work in family practice, internal medicine and pediatrics in underserved rural and urban communities. The school will follow a curriculum that integrates medical science and clinical experience required to earn the M.D. degree. The details of accreditation, curriculum, facilities and staffing are under accelerated development at the time of publication of this Bulletin.
