Undergraduate Programs David Eccles School of Business Associate Dean, James K. Loebbecke, B.S. Office, 108 Business Classroom Building, 581-7853 Effective Autumn Quarter 1993. The David Eccles School of Business will be implementing a new curriculum which is described below. All entering freshmen admitted to the University of Utah autumn quarter 1993 and subsequent quarters, will be subject to the requirements of the new curriculum. Students admitted prior to autumn 1993 and who are currently enrolled as business majors will complete the require­ments for their degree under the existing guidelines. If students have any questions about their specific graduation requirements, they are strongly encouraged to contact the Undergraduate Studies Office in the Business Classroom Building, room 108. Actual changes to the curriculum may occur without notice and students will be held responsible for graduation requirements that are in place at the time they enter upper division. Mission Statement. The mission of the David Eccles School of Business is to be the acknowledged leader in undergraduate, graduate, and executive business education in the Intermountain Region and among the select group of the most highly respected schools of business in the nation. Through the synergy of excellent, innovative, and visible teaching, research, and service, we will build foundations for business leadership with service to students and the business communities of Utah, the region, and the nation. Attributes. The David Eccles School of Business has identified the attributes it would like its students to possess at the time of graduation. These attributes are- * a solid foundation in the basic functional areas of business * the ability to take the initiative and to exercise creativity in solving business problems * well-developed communication skills * an understanding and appreciation of the economic, social, political, environmental, technological, and business issues in a dynamic environment * an understanding of historical, literary, philosophical, scientific, and artistic events and achievements ' an understanding and a motivation for lifelong learning. The curriculum has been designed to encourage the development of these attributes. Liberal Education. The School of Business has compiled a list of Liberal Education courses from which business students may select to satisfy their Liberal Education requirements. Students should be advised that not all Liberal Education classes offered by the University will satisfy the requirements for a business degree. Students will need to check with the Undergraduate Studies Office in room 108, Business Classroom Building to obtain a current list of those courses business students can use to fill their Liberal Education and business requirements. Students are encouraged to participate in the Honors Program. All honors classes taken to satisfy Liberal Education requirements will satisfy the special liberal education requirements of the School of Business. Business majors need broad educational backgrounds in order to become effective managers. Therefore, students are required to complete at least two elective courses in each of three colleges other than business, regardless of any CLEP credit they may have received. Part of this requirement may be completed in the junior and senior years.

Additional Requirements. (1) In addition to the prebusiness, intermediate, and upper-division required courses, students must complete departmental requirements in accounting, finance, management, or marketing; (2) all prebusiness, intermediate, and departmental required courses must be taken for letter grades; and (3) upper-division required courses cannot be used to fill departmental elective hours. All classes used by business students to fill Liberal Education requirements must be selected from lists that have been approved by the School of Business curriculum committee. Admission. Students must meet specified criteria to be admitted to departmental major status. Prebusiness Requirements. Admission to the prebusiness major is open to all entering freshmen, transfer, and readmitted students interested in business majors. Since entering freshmen are given priority for registration if they attend orientation, all entering freshmen are encouraged to attend orientation and to register for writing and communication their first quarter. Students must complete prebusiness requirements and be accepted as intermediate majors before enrolling in intermediate business courses. Intermediate Major. An application may be submitted as soon as the student has com­pleted at least 45 hours of university credit, including all prebusiness courses, and can provide an updated transcript. Because of the increase in technology that is such a large part of today's business environ­ment, students are also required to demon­strate computer proficiency before applying for intermediate status. Information regarding the computer proficiency test can be obtained from the Undergraduate Studies Office in BUC 108 or from the computer center located in room 102 of the Business Classroom Building. The test is offered on Saturday morning except during holidays or finals week. Classes are offered by the School of Business which will help students acquire this proficiency. Schedules for classes may be obtained from the computer center. Because space is limited in the computer lab, students are required to register for the test and the classes in advance. Admission to intermediate status is also based on GPA requirements that are determined by the Undergraduate Admissions Committee. Applications received by ThursdaySEE PAGE 7 FOR ABBREVIATIONS LIST COLLEGES/BUSINESS 67 are processed by the following Wednesday Notification of admission status is sent to each student within 10 working days. Departmental Major. Acceptance as a departmental major in accounting, finance, management, or marketing is restricted by the capacity of the David Eccles School of Business and is determined twice a year by the Undergraduate Admissions Committee. Students who meet the admission criteria should submit their application to the Undergraduate Studies Office. Applications are processed summer quarter for autumn admission and winter quarter for spring admission. Application deadlines are the first Friday of summer and winter quarters. All applications must be accompanied by an updated transcript and a summary of transfer credit where applicable. Notification of admission status is mailed to each student. Students may apply for a departmental major after completing at least 70 hours of credit. Students who transfer from an in-state institution, have completed an Associate of Science degree in business, have satisfied all of their pre-business and intermediate- business classes, and have passed the computer proficiency test are encouraged to apply for upper-division status prior to attending the University. Applications from transfer students will be processed during regularly scheduled admission meetings during summer and winter quarters. University students should apply for upper-division status when they are currently enrolled in their last intermediate classes. Acceptance is con­ditional upon completing all intermediate courses that quarter with a GPA equal to that of other students admitted at the same time. Applicants are evaluated and ranked by cumulative GPA. Based on available capacity in upper- division, a number of applicants are admitted solely on the basis of GPA. Applicants ranking below this cut-off point are evaluated by the Undergraduate Admissions Committee. (The Committee may also consider other factors besides GPA in making the final decision.) Minor. The David Eccles School of Business is establishing a business minor designed for students majoring in other programs throughout the University. The program is scheduled to begin Summer Quarter 1994; however, there may be some delay with respect to implementation of the program. Most of the courses for the minor are offered during the summer session. Students interested in pursuing a minor in business should contact the Undergraduate Studies Office in the Business Classroom Building, room 108. Prerequisites. Students interested in the business minor will need to complete the following courses before applying for admission to the minor: Economics 201. Math 105 and Writing 112. These classes must be completed with a grade of B or better. Admission requires proficiency in DOS, word processing, and spreadsheet applications. A competency examination will be given to test these skills. Students should complete the prerequisites during their first year at the University. Once students have satisfied the prerequisite requirements and have earned at least 45 graded hours of University credit, they may apply for the Business Minor Program. Transfer credits of up to 8 hours may be applied toward the minor if the student completed an equivalent college-level class with a grade of B or better. In addition, students are required to demonstrate computer proficiency. The School of Business offers classes to help students acquire these skills, and tests are offered Saturday mornings. Students are required to register for that test and the computer classes in advance. Additional information about the computer proficiency test can be obtained from the computer center in 102 Business Classroom Building. Applications are due spring quarter for admission the following summer quarter.

The primary objective of the MBA program is to develop leaders who are effective in a range of responsible managerial positions in business firms, nonprofit institutions or government agencies. Emphasis is placed upon clear definition of problem situations, analysis, and decision making. The teaching method employs a balanced mix of case analysis, student projects and presenta­tions, computer simulations, lectures, and seminar discussions. Internship and consultation experiences apply classroom learning to practical business situations. Written and oral communication skills are stressed throughout the curriculum. See Business Administration in the Courses section of this catalog for a complete listing and descriptions of all MBA-designated course offerings. The program serves graduates from liberal arts, science, engineering, or other fields, as well as graduates from recognized colleges of business who want to study business administration. The M.B.A. program requires two years of study (six quarters, 24 courses) for a full-time student without a prior degree in business. A one-year program (four quarters) is available to students who have bachelor's degrees from nationally accredited schools of business. Half-time day and evening programs also are available. Each academic year the M.B.A. program is preceded by a one-week introductory session required of all students. All students are expected to have completed work similar to all core business courses (listed previously). Should students lack any of these background courses, equivalent courses must be taken prior to entering the program in order for students to be eligible to register for advanced classes.

A. with International Emphasis and Foreign Language Qualification. Given an interdependent world economic system which demands internationally literate managers, the purpose of the M.B.A. International Emphasis Program is to train future business leaders to operate effectively in both domestic and international environments. The International Emphasis track brings together students with proven foreign language knowledge and diverse backgrounds, trains them in the necessary technical domestic and international business skills, further enhances theirSEE PAGE 7 FOR ABBREVIATIONS LIST COLLEGES/BUSINESS 69 language capabilities, and fosters learning about the cultural, historical, and political dynamics of foreign societies and markets. In its area emphases, the program focuses on East and South Asia, Latin America, Western Europe, and Russia. International dimensions are stressed through (a) specially designed international business courses; (b) required, upper-division foreign language courses taken each quarter during the student's final year which highlight a given culture's history, society, and politics; (c) advanced graduate business courses taught in the student's target foreign language; (d) internships, conference participation, and international business student activities. International Emphasis students are also involved in the major research and outreach programs of the Brigham Young University/ University of Utah Center for International Business Education and Research, a national resource funded in part by the U.S. Depart­ment of Education. Students wishing to enter the International Emphasis program must (1) be in good standing after having completed the first year of the two-year M.B.A. program or be admitted to the one-year M.B.A. program, and 2) have at least a minor, or proficiency equivalent to that of a minor, in one of the eight world languages required by the program. The languages are Arabic, Mandarin Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian, and Spanish. Students who do not hold a recognized college major or minor in one of the above languages will need to demonstrate equivalent qualification through testing by the University's language faculty. Students in the two-year program wishing to enter the International Emphasis track but who lack the required language proficiency will be counseled on a case-by-case basis. Sucessful graduates of the program will be granted a Master of Business Administration degree as well as an International Emphasis and Foreign Language Qualification Certificate. Prospective M.B.A. International Emphasis students are encouraged to call the director or staff of the Global Business Programs Office [phone], for more specific information and advice. M.B.A./Health Services Administration. An M.B.A. degree with an emphasis option in health services administration is available through the David Eccles School of Business. For information, see Health Services Administration in the Courses section of this catalog or contact the Master's Programs adviser, 460 Business Classroom Building, 581-7785. Executive M.B.A. The Executive M.B.A. Program provides working executives with the management skills to deal with the rapidly changing business environment, from new technological developments to increasingly complicated organizations. Although the curriculum is patterned after the regular M.B.A., it uniquely gears its approach for those who already have business experience at a decision-making level. Practical applications of the latest business concepts are integrated throughout the course work. Participants learn not only from course work and activities but also from student peers. These managers from diverse business settings help fellow students amplify their experiences and broaden their perspectives when searching for solutions to problems. The degree program, which takes 21 months to complete, is designed to accommodate participants' work schedules. Classes meet one day each week, alternating between Fridays and Saturdays, during the regular autumn, winter, spring, and summer quarters. Participants also hear guest speakers during bimonthly Friday luncheons. In addition to regular class work, students participate in three one-week intensive sessions. Two of these sessions are held at the beginning of the first and second years at off campus locations, where students reside from Monday through Friday. The third session, emphasizing international business, is held at the end of spring quarter in a foreign country. The degree must be completed within six consecutive calendar years.

Joint Degrees with the M.B.A. M.B.A.- Master of Architecture, M.B.A.-Juris Doctor, and M.B.A.-M.S. in Mining Engineering are joint-degree programs available through the David Eccles School of Business For more detailed information, contact the Master's Programs Office, David Eccles School of Business. M.Pr.A. Program. The level of education required for success in the accounting profession is increasing rapidly. Graduate training not only facilitates entry into the profession but also enhances career progress and job mobility. This trend is particularly pronounced in public accounting and taxation. In response to those demands, the School of Accounting offers the Master of Professional Accountancy (M.Pr.A.) degree. The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, National Association of State Boards of Accountancy, Utah Association of CPAs, and many other professional organizations also strongly endorse graduate accounting education. The purpose of the M.Pr.A, program is to prepare students for leadership in the accounting profession. Instruction builds on the broad introduction received in under­graduate accounting programs. Analytic and communication skills essential to successful accounting careers are emphasized as well as technical proficiency in accounting. Study is tailored to fit a student's career objectives with a broad program and specialization in taxation or financial/audit/systems. Electives may be taken in the David Eccles School of Business or selected from other University offerings. Students who have a bachelor's degree in accounting from a nationally accredited college or university generally complete their course work for the M.Pr.A. degree in one full-time, three-quarter academic year. Full-time students must take four classes (16 hours) per quarter. Students selecting a part-time program take two classes (8 hours) per quarter and finish in two academic years. No evening classes are available. Students are also required to attend the pre-autumn Business Challenge. Only students with undergraduate degrees in accounting are eligible to apply for the M.Pr.A. program. All 500-level undergraduate' account­ing courses must be completed prior to enter the M.Pr.A. program. Students must complete the M.Pr.A. degree within four consecutive calendar years. The University's M.Pr.A. program and the accounting faculty are among the nation's best. Evidence of this status is provided by the fact that Utah was among the first schools to obtain special accreditation for its accounting programs from the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business. Degree Requirements. Students entering the M.Pr.A. program must have a bachelor's degree in accounting from an accredited university or college, must have completed equivalent courses to the business core, and a recent course in calculus with a grade of C or better.

(Applications for this program are not being accepted for the 1994-95 academic year. For further information contact the Master's Programs Office. 591-7785.)lhe Master of Human Resource Management (M.H.R.M) degree program was designed in 1974, anticipating a trend in business to improve quality and productivity through increased effectiveness of human resources. This trend has become even more important in recent years. The University of Utah is one of the few places in the U.S. that offers a graduate program in Human Resource Management through a college of business, offering students knowledge and experience for relating effectively to other business counterparts in areas such as finance, marketing, accounting, business policy, and production and operations management. The M.H.R.M. is a professional degree designed to help students develop the skills to understand and constructively deal with: (1) individual, group, and organizational behavior; (2) functional aspects of personnel administration such as compensation, benefits, performance appraisal, recruitment, selection, training, planning and information systems, employer/employee relations, and career development; (3) conflict management and dispute resolution (including collective bargaining); and (4) federal, state, and local policy development in regulations of the employment environment. The goals of the M.H.R.M. program are to recognize human potential in the workplace, to build a supportive environment in which potential can be fully realized, and to prepare graduates to assist employers in achieving these goals. Careers available to M.H.R.M. graduates include personnel/human-resource manage­ment, alternative dispute resolution, labor- management relations, training, management development, organization development, compensation/benefits management, counsel­ing. consulting, general management, and others. M.H.R.M. graduates are placed in private-sector, public-sector, and nonprofit organizations. Advanced course work provides students with a generalist H.R.M. core, behavioral, and general elective courses. Elective courses are available through the David Eccles School of Business departments of Accounting, Finance, Management, and Marketing. In addition, electives may be selected from other depart­ments within the University, e.g., Economics, Educational Administration, Educational Psychology, Public Administration, Psychology, and others. This flexibility enables the student to develop a course of study that enhances individual career goals. Program Length. Two full-time years plus an internship are required for students with bachelor's degrees in nonbusiness areas. Prior to taking the H.R.M. core, behavioral, and elective classes, students must complete the pre-autumn Business Challenge Program and core classes. MBA 611 is not required. Since all of these requirements can be fulfilled with undergraduate equivalent course work, transcripts of each student admitted to the program are evaluated. The student must retake only those courses in which grades received were unacceptable and those taken more than 10 years ago. Students with a bachelor's degree in business from an accredited college or university generally can complete their course work in one full-time, three-quarter academic year, plus an internship. Degree Requirements. Forty-eight credit hours of M.H.R.M. advanced course work plus the Business Challenge Program are required for the degree. This includes 20 hours of generalist core courses, 8 hours of behavioral courses, and 20 hours of electives. Students must complete the degree within four con­secutive calendar years. H.R.M.

M.H.R.M. students are required to complete five elective courses (20 credit hours). The graduate counselor may approve candidates for graduation who have completed five electives or 18 credit hours, whichever is greater (because of lower course credit hours in colleges other than business). Internship. In addition to academic course work, M.H.R.M students are required to complete the equivalent of a three-month, full-time internship. This may be done with one organization over an extended period of time or through an accumulation of several short-term professional experiences that link academic course work to the professional work environment. M.Stat. Program. The Master of Statistics (M.Stat.) degree is offered by several University departments. However, the program offered by the Department of Management is tailored for those students whose primary interest lies in statistical methods. Program Length. The time required to complete the M.Stat. degree program in the Department of Management varies from two to three academic years. Three years is required for students with little or no previous college work in business administration. Students who majored in business may receive advanced standing and qualify for the M.Stat. degree in two academic years. Some evening classes are available, but students who hold jobs must be prepared to take classes during the day. Students enrolled in the Department of Management M.Stat. program must declare whether they are full- or part-time students. The maximum time allowed for completion of required course work is four consecutive calendar years. Degree Requirements. Students are expected to complete the following courses or their equivalent prior to entering the program; otherwise, the time required to complete the degree may increase significantly. MATH 111,112.113, Calculus I MATH 320, Foundations of Analysis MATH 322, Calculus II (Linear Algebra) or MATH 352, Matrices and Vector Analysis for Science and Engineering MGT 239 and 249, Survey of Statistics I and II, or two quarters of Applied Statistics at the undergraduate level Students without a degree in business adminis­tration are required to complete the core business courses. The M.Stat. degree requires a minimum of 45 credit hours beyond the core business courses. The pre-autumn Business Challenge Program is also required. Advanced Classes. When students have completed all core classes, they must complete the following advanced classes.

M.S. in Finance. (Applications for this program are not being accepted for the 1994-95 academic year.) The Master of Science in finance is a limited-enrollment, professional, master's-level program with a research orientation. The program has some similarities to the M B A. program; core business requirements are the same but may be waived if the student has completed comparable courses with acceptable grades. Students also must take the pre-autumn Business Challenge, The M.S. in finance differs from the M.B.A. in several respects. In addition to meeting the admission standards for the M.B.A. program, the M.S. applicant also must pass another admission screening that places heavierSEE PAGE 7 FOR ABBREVIATIONS LIST COLLEGES/CONTINUING EDUCATION 71 emphasis on the applicant's prior quantitative proficiency and performance on the quantitative section on the GMAT. Students who apply to the program are expected to have completed one year of work in calculus or courses similar to the University's Mathematics 111,112, and 113, Calculus I. The completion of Mathematics 321, Calculus II (Linear Algebra), or equivalent, with a satisfactory grade aids in final acceptance. The course requirements for the M.S. in finance are more flexible and the emphasis more quantitative than for the M.B.A. A primary goal of course work is to prepare the student to write a master's thesis. Applicants should include in their goals statement an outline of their proposed thesis topic. This outline must be approved by a finance (acuity member who has agreed to supervise the thesis research. Enrollment is limited to students who meet admission requirements and who have a research interest manageable by the department. Students should visit with the graduate adviser before applying. Students who meet admission requirements but are not admitted to the M.S. in finance program because of departmental limitations (including unavailability of supervising faculty for the research topic) are admitted, instead, to the M.B.A. program. The M B A. program is tailored as much as possible to allow a specialization in finance. In addition to the Business Challenge Program, candidates for the M.S. degree must complete a minimum of 48 credit hours of course work beyond the common body of knowledge classes and thesis preparation. A minimum of 32 hours must be in course work. A minimum of 24 hours of course work, excluding the thesis, must be taken in the Department of Finance. Thesis preparation generally takes 12 credit hours but can take up to 15 hours depending upon the scope of the project. Further, at least 24 of the minimum 32 credit hours, excluding the thesis, must be in 600- or 700-level business courses. The remaining hours may consist of 500-level courses within the David Eccles School of Business or approved courses taken outside of the college. Students must complete the M.S. in finance within four consecutive calendar years. For further information and to request a copy of the sample plan of study, write or call the Master's Programs Office in the David Eccles School of Business. M.S. in Marketing. The Master of Science in marketing is a limited-enrollment master's pro­gram that allows students with an under­graduate degree in business (or equivalent) to focus their studies on marketing and marketing research. The degree is more flexible than the M.B.A. and allows students to specialize in areas such as advertising, marketing research, marketing management, and international marketing. The program's research orientation requires students to have a sound background in statistics. A master's thesis based on a research project is required of all students. Applicants should plan to take Ihe GMAT so that scores are available by February 15 of the year of application. Students should indicate on their application why they feel the M.S. is a more appropriate degree for them than the M.B.A. Students should visit the department adviser before applying. Students with an undergraduate degree in business can complete the requirements for the M.S. in marketing in one academic year. Those without an undergraduate degree in business require two academic years of course work, as they must complete the M.B.A. core requirements or their equivalent. All students must take the pre-autumn Business Challenge Program offered by the David Eccles School of Business. Additionally, they must complete a minimum of 48 credit hours as follows: 1. A minimum ol 24 hours ot 600-level courses in marketing or other closely related fields approved by the supervisory committee chair (e.g., students desiring an emphasis in marketing research may take statistics, econometrics, or research methods courses in departments outside the Department of Marketing). 2. Twelve to 15 hours in an allied field, including either 500- or 600-level courses in the David Eccles School of Business or other colleges approved by the supervisory committee chair, 3. Nine to 12 hours of thesis credit. Ph.D. in Business Administration. The David Eccles School of Business welcomes applications from college graduates in all fields of study. Selection criteria include evaluation of previous academic performance, scores from the GMAT, letters of recommendation, and an assessment of each applicant's potential, both in teaching and research as reflected in the applicant's personal statement. The Doctor of Philosophy degree represents high scholarly achievement demonstrated by independent research. It is not awarded simply for the fulfillment of residence or credit requirements. Areas of concentration in each of the David Eccles School of Business departments follow. Accounting: auditing, financial accounting, information systems, and managerial accounting. Finance: corporate finance, investments, financial institutions, financial economics, and organizational economics. Management: organizational behavior and human resource management: production and operations management; and strategic management. Marketing: buyer behavior, marketing management, and marketing research. Each student must also complete an allied field outside of the department administering the major emphasis, a research competency requirement and the School's breadth require­ment. Courses may be taken outside of the School of Business to fill these requirements. Instructions for submitting an application are listed above under Graduate Programs, Admission Requirements. Financial Assistance. Graduate student stipends and tuition waivers are awarded to most students. All students that apply to the Ph.D. program by the January 15 deadline are considered for financial aid. No other application is necessary. Program Length. Persons admitted to the Ph D. program are expected to be full-time students on campus. It usually requires four years to complete this degree; there is a five-year limitation for completing it. For more information, contact the Ph.D. Program Office, David Eccles School of Business. Departmental brochures containing more detailed information, including faculty profiles and research interests, are available from the Ph.D. director.

Undergraduate Program Admission. Students admitted to the University are also admitted, upon their request, to the College of Engineering as pre-engineering students in the department of their choice. The level at which students begin their studies depends upon prior preparation and scores from the SAT or ACT. Students may apply for admission to intermediate status in the depart­ment of their choice after satisfactorily com­pleting prescribed freshman-level course work. Admission to intermediate status is limited in some departments and selection is based on the student's academic performance in the specified freshman-level courses. Enrollment in engineering classes beyond the freshman level is restricted to students with intermediate- or major-engineering status; many classes are open only to departmental majors. Students should check with the depart­ment of their intended major concerning class availability. Students accepted to intermediate status in any department may apply for admission to regular major status in that department upon completion of prescribed sophomore-level engineering course work. While it is the intent of the departments to accept those inter­mediate students who satisfactorily meet the requirements for application, admission to regular engineering-major status is limited in some departments, and selection is based on the student's academic performance in speci­fied course work. Since the requirements for advancement from pre-engineering status to intermediate status to major status change as circum­stances dictate, and since they differ from one department to another, students are encouraged to contact the departments for detailed information concerning requirements. Transfer Student Admission. Transfer students from ABET-accredited engineering programs at other schools are evaluated for intermediate or major status on the same basis as students who did their work at the University of Utah. Transfer students from non-ABET-accredited engineering programs may be admitted on a probationary status and may be advanced to intermediate or regular status at the discretion of the department in which the student wishes to major. Academic performance while on probation is the deciding factor in making these decisions, subject to the ability of the department to accommodate the student. Preparation. To complete the curriculum in engineering in four years, it is necessary for entering students to begin their first quarter with Mathematics 111, Chemistry 121 or 131, and Writing 112. To assure adequate prep­aration, students should take as many mathe­matics, science (chemistry, physics, and biology) and English classes in high school as possible. A minimum of one unit of plane geometry, two units of algebra, one-half unit of trigonometry, and one year of chemistry are strongly recommended. Prior to the beginning of the freshman year, students should review their high school training in mathematics, science, and English so they will perform adequately in these subjects. Students who do not qualify to begin their University program with Mathematics 111, Chemistry 131, and Writing 112 might correct the deficiency by taking any of the required courses (social science, English, mathematics, engineering, etc.) through correspondence, regular summer term courses, summer night classes, or by a heavier-than-normal class load. Such students should contact the adviser in the department of their intended major for assistance with program planning. Minority Engineering Program. The Minority Engineering Program (MEP) provides ethnic minority and female engineering students with academic support at the college level, Through MEP, students are provided with services and activities designed to enrich their regular educational programs, including recruiting and admission, freshman-year transition, counsel­ing, supplemental instruction, career develop­ment, summer jobs, financial aid, scholarships, and employment. For further information, contact the MEP director, Kate Rhodes, 2141 Merrill Engineering Building, 581-8954. Engineering Clinic Program. The Engineer­ing Clinic Program gives undergraduate engineering students the practical experience of conducting research for industry while earning academic credit. Clinic projects place students in a creative environment requiring them to function in teams, prepare professional research proposals, and manage their time and resources efficiently. The program, established by Professor Magdy Iskander in 1986, offers students research experience while helping high-tech companies develop new products. The clinic complements the College of Engineering's efforts to promote linkages, collaboration, and technology transfer with industry. Participating companies invest in engineering's future and, in return, gain access to highly skilled faculty, well-trained students, and sophisticated research laboratory equipment. Engineering Clinic students, while attracting large national research grants for the University, gain valuable hands-on experience performing research for prestigious national engineer­ing companies. Clinic sponsors include Geneva Steel, Hewlett-Packard, Hughes Aircraft, IBM, Motorola, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Novell, E-Systems, and Sonic Star International. The program also plays an important role in placing engineering students in permanent jobs with sponsoring companies. Liberal Education Courses. For courses offered by the College of Engineering for non-engineering students, consult the Liberal Education section and engineering disciplines in the Courses section of this catalog. Bachelor's Degrees. The B.S. degree in engineering is granted to students who successfully complete prescribed curricula in chemical engineering, civil engineering, computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, materials science and engineering, or mechanical engineering. The required courses, with suggested programs, are listed by department in the Courses section of this catalog.

Certificate of completion is endorsed by the School of Medicine and the Utah Medical Association Course work may be applied toward requirements for a bachelor's degree in a major offered at the University. M. D. Degree Program The University offers a complete graduate medical education program with internships and residencies in 54 specialties/subspecialties. Instruction leading to the M.D. degree is divided into two general areas: basic sciences for freshmen and sophomores and clinical medicine for juniors and seniors. Candidates for the M.D. degree must complete 12 quarters in an officially approved medical school and must have passed satisfactorily all courses required by the School of Medicine. At least the third and fourth years must be completed at the University of Utah. While courses are listed by department, faculty members of several departments collaborate in teaching interdisciplinary or interdepartmental courses. This makes the scientific basis of medicine relevant to the practice of clinical medicine. Major courses offered in the first year are anatomy, biochemistry, physiology, behavioral science, and introductory physical diagnosis. Second-year courses include pharmacology, pathology, infectious diseases, and multi­disciplinary teaching organized around the body's organ systems. Courses in physical diagnosis and psychiatry also are presented during the second year. During the third year, students rotate through a series of clinical clerkships in hospital patient units. They participate with interns, residents, and senior faculty in the diagnosis and management of outpatients and inpatients in pediatrics, internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, surgery, psychiatry, family practice, and neurology. The fourth year allows students the oppor­tunity for individual development. It consists primarily of elective time when independent programs are arranged for each individual. Electives are usually organized in four-week blocks allowing students to follow particular interests while completing their undergraduate medical education. Premedicai Course Requirements. The admissions committee expects prospective students to have completed courses equiva­lent to one year of English composition or speech; two years of chemistry with laboratory work, including organic; one year of physics, including laboratory work; and additional college-level work in biology, humanities, and social sciences. These courses must be taken at a college or university in the U.S. The MCAT is required and must have been taken within four years of any application. Generally the completion of four years of college work is desirable before entrance into medical school. With the exception of AP credit for general chemistry at a level of 4 or 5, CLEP, AP credit, or independent study (or home study) will not be accepted for completion of required course work. Applicants are encour­aged to work with the premedical adviser at the undergraduate school where they have been completing their requirements. Premed students should contact Marilyn Hoffman in the Department of Biology at 581-5744. Admission. Students considering the study of medicine at the University should: 1.

For more detailed information on these programs, refer to the Graduate Study section and individual department listings in the Courses section of this catalog, or consult the Bulletin of the University of Utah, The Graduate School. Bachelor's Degrees. Students from the University of Utah admitted to medical school without a bachelor's degree may use credits earned during the first year of medical school toward a B.A. or B.S. degree with a major in medical biology. For information see Science elsewhere in this section of the catalog. The Department of Pathology administers the undergraduate program in medical laboratory science. The program has two components- cytotechnology and medical technology. Stu­dents who successfully complete the cyto­technology or medical technology specialty receive bachelor's degrees and are eligible for certification by the appropriate national certifying agency. For information, see Medical Laboratory Science in the Courses section of this catalog. Physician Assistant Program The School of Medicine has offered the Physician Assistant Program (formerly Utah MEDEX Program) since 1971. It is one of 51 such programs in the United States approved by the American Medical Association. For program information, see Family and Preventive Medicine in the Courses section of this catalog. Health Sciences Center The University of Utah Health Sciences Center facilitates coordination and communication among the health-related colleges. Included in the Center are the School of Medicine; University of Utah Hospital; Colleges of Pharmacy, Nursing, and Health; Spencer S. Eccles Health Sciences Library; Student Health Service; and Regional Dental Education Program. This unit provides closer coordination of educa­tional and patient-care programs common to two or more health-science components. The colleges retain their identities and continue to be administered by their respective deans. Each dean is a member of the University's Health Sciences Academic Advisory Council, which allows direct input into the center's administration. Research Facilities The School of Medicine and its adjacent build­ings house numerous laboratories, many of which are internationally known. Research programs in biomedical engineer­ing and artificial organs bring together the talents of scientists in the School of Medicine and College of Engineering, as well as scholars from other disciplines. Projects include the development and refinement of artificial organs such as the heart, ear. and eye. Genetic research at the University has grown dramatically since completion of the George and Dolores Eccles Institute of Human Genetics in 1990. The research facility was funded jointly by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and the George and Dolores Eccles Foundation. The center has 75 laboratories with core facili­ties that support each research group. There are now 33 investigators and 290 research and support staff at the Institute. Research at the center is supported by federal, state, and private funding. The Eccles Institute of Human Genetics has become a center for interdisciplinary research, education, and training for molecular biology and human genetics. In addition to the Department of Human Genetics, the Eccles Institute houses the following three research programs: • The Howard Hughes Medical Institute supports six investigators and their research projects in molecular biology and genetics in both human and animal systems. The Institute is known for its studies of genes including their function, regulation, and expression. • The Eccles Program for Human Molecular Biology and Genetics is a consortium of scientists and physicians with a focus on human biology and disease using the tools of molecular biology to discover inherited cell defects that lead to disease. This program now has 14 investigators. • The Utah Genome Center is one of seven national centers for the Human Genome Project which is designed to fully characterize the genome of humans and selected model organisms. The Utah Genome Center includes six investigators and directors in addition to providing core services for research through­out the Eccles Institute. The John A. Dixon Laser Institute brings to­gether physicians in approximately 15 medical specialties with basic science researchers in physics, chemistry, materials engineering, electrical engineering, and materials science. The institute's clinical division is one of the nation's broadest, performing some 1,500 procedures annually. The Center for Diagnostic Imaging Research in the Department of Radiology combines the talents of physicists, computer scientists, elec­trical and biomedical engineers, cardiologists, neurosurgeons, and radiologists-all pursuing state-of-the-art advances in X-ray and mag­netic resonance imaging techniques. The center's main areas of research focus on three-dimensional X-ray imaging, noninvasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of vascular anatomy, blood flow quantification and elec­tronic X-ray image acquisition, and digital- imaging processing. The Nora Eccles Harrison Cardiovascular Research and Training Institute conducts multi­disciplinary studies in cardiac electrophysi­ology, coronary blood flow, biochemistry, pharmacology, and their applications to medicine in the following areas: electrophy­siology of the heart; neural control of the heart; coronary blood flow; and cardiovascular biochemistry, pharmacology, and cell biology. The federally funded Utah Cancer Center involves more than 100 funded investigators from 20 departments at the University of Utah, working in the following areas of research: cellular and immunobiology, clinical investi­gation, epidemiology, experimental oncology, genetics, molecular biology, and radiobiology. The University's commitment to the fight against cancer was dramatically enhanced in 1993 by a $10 million gift from the family of Jon M. and Karen H. Huntsman to allow the U of U to develop a world-class cancer center. Over time, the institute is expected to employ hun­dreds of individuals from all areas of the health sciences doing research and clinical work. Other prominent facilities include the Center for Human Toxicology; Center for Infectious Diseases, Diagnostic Microbiology, and Immunology; and the Utah Resource for Genetic and Epidemiologic Research. Also, each School of Medicine department and division maintains its own laboratories. These facilities are generally supporte
