GENERALINFORMATION

The Mission of

Manhattan College

At its quarterly meeting on October23, 1990, The Board of Trustees ofManhattan College adopted the fol-lowing statement of Mission:

Manhattan College, overlooking VanCortlandt Park in Riverdale, is an inde-pendent Catholic institution of higherlearning which embraces qualified menand women of all faiths, races and eth-nic backgrounds. Established in 1853,the College is founded upon theLasallian tradition of excellence inteaching, respect for individual dignity,and commitment to social justiceinspired by the innovator of modernpedagogy, John Baptist de La Salle.

The mission of Manhattan College isto provide a contemporary, person cen-tered educational experience charac-terized by high academic standards,reflection on faith, values and ethics,and lifelong career preparation. This isachieved in two ways: by offering stu-dents programs which integrate a broadliberal education with concentration inspecific disciplines in the arts and sci-ences or with professional preparationin business, education and engineering;and by nurturing a caring, pluralisticcampus community.

The learning experience at ManhattanCollege is enriched by cooperativeprograms with other institutions, bypostgraduate professional programs andby capitalizing on its location on theedge of the cultural center and globalmarketplace that is New York City.

Historical Note

Manhattan College was founded inMay 1853 when the school, originallyestablished by the Brothers of theChristian Schools in 1848, moved fromCanal Street in lower Manhattan towhat was then known as theManhattanville section of New YorkCity at 131st Street and Broadway.Between 1853 and 1863, the schoolchanged rapidly, adding college-levelcourses in 1859 and first using thename Manhattan College in 1861. ABoard of Trustees composed of ten lay-men and eight Brothers of theChristian Schools was assembled in1862 to petition the Board of Regentsand the Legislature of the State of NewYork to charter a collegiate institutionnamed Manhattan College.The charterwas approved by the Legislature andissued by the Board of Regents onApril 2, 1863. The first catalog of thenewly chartered College stated its goalsas follows:

The object of this institution is toafford the youth of our country themeans of acquiring the highest grade ofeducation attained in the bestAmerican universities or colleges.While the conductors mean that theclassical languages shall be thoroughlystudied, they have resolved to give aprominence to the higher mathematicsand natural sciences not hithertoreceived in any similar institution inthis country; thus combining theadvantages of a first-class College andPolytechnic Institute.




Thus, Manhattan College was anunusual institution. Its sponsoringBoard of Trustees combined both secu-lar independent members and repre-sentatives of the religious teachingInstitute of the Brothers of theChristian Schools. It also combinedexcellence in the traditional liberal artsand sciences and excellence in profes-sional and technical education in a sin-gle collegiate institution.

Bordered by the Hudson River and VanCortlandt Park, the college is able tooffer access to the cultural, educational,business and entertainment opportuni-ties of New York City as well as a self-contained campus environment.

The College continues to realize theobjectives stated in its first catalog bymaintaining a full range of programs inthe liberal arts and sciences joined withprofessional programs in engineering,business, and education.The quality ofthe undergraduate programs has beendemonstrated by the College’s record asone of the nation’s leading undergrad-uate sources of doctorates in the arts,sciences, engineering and education,and recognized by the establishment ofchapters of such prestigious honorsocieties as Phi Beta Kappa, Sigma Xi,and Tau Beta Pi. Similarly, Standard &Poors ranks the Manhattan CollegeSchool of Business among the leadingundergraduate sources of managerialand financial leadership in the nation.The College participates in theConsortium of Liberal Arts Colleges, anorganization of the nation’s leadingresearch colleges, and in the New YorkCluster of seven colleges and universitiessupported by the Pew Charitable Trustsfor undergraduate science education(Barnard, Colgate, Cornell, Hamilton,Manhattan, St. Lawrence and Union).

From its beginning, Manhattan Collegehas paid particular attention to educat-ing first-generation college students,and was an early proponent of access tominority students, establishing specialscholarship funds for minority studentsas early as 1938. Currently, over 30% ofthe student body are from racial andethnic minority backgrounds.

The College became coeducationaland accepted its first women under-graduate students in 1973. Prior to thatdate, the College had established aCooperative Program with the neigh-boring College of Mount SaintVincent, which permitted cross-regis-tration and the merging of academicdepartments. Currently, women num-ber 46% of the full-time undergraduatestudent body.

With the opening of Horan Hall (for-merly East Hill) in 1990, the Collegeis able to maintain an even balancebetween residential and commutingstudents.

Currently, the College has a studentbody of approximately 3,000: 2,600undergraduates and 400 graduate students. The student-faculty ratio isthirteen to one.

B+ 3.33

B 3.0

B- 2.67

C+ 2.33

C 2.0

C- 1.67

D+ 1.33

D 1.0

F 0.0

I Incomplete. Indicates that somerequirement of a course has not beensatisfied by the end of the term. In allcases the incomplete work must becompleted and submitted to the

For all students, the cumulative scholar-ship index is computed at the end ofeach semester; for those who attend thesummer or winter sessions it is alsocomputed at the end of each session.

Repeating a Course

(Effective Fall 2003)

All grades that a student earns atManhattan will appear on the student’stranscript. If a student repeats a coursein which the required minimum gradehas not been earned, both grades areshown on the transcript and are includ-ed in both the semester and cumulativeindices. However, if a student choosesto repeat a course in which therequired minimum grade or better hasalready been earned, the second grade isnot included in the cumulative index. Inthis case, the second grade is shown onthe transcript and is included in thesemester index for the semester inwhich the course was repeated. In eithercase, the course is credited only oncetoward the total credits earned. If a stu-dent earns a second “F” in any course,the “F” is included in the semester andcumulative index both times.

When a student repeats a course, theoriginal quality points and qualityhours earned in the term in which theoriginal grade was earned are notaffected. All course repeats must bedone at Manhattan College. Studentsshould note that eligibility for certainfinancial aid may be impacted whenrepeating courses.

Mid-semes-ter grade reports are also issued to allundergraduate students to indicatetheir standing in courses up to thattime and to assist the faculty in afford-ing students necessary guidance. Thesemid-semester grades are not affixed tothe permanent academic record.

Contested Grades

If a student believes that his/her finalgrade in a course is not consistent withthe grading criteria designated by thecourse instructor, he or she should firstdiscuss the matter with the courseinstructor. If the student and theinstructor cannot resolve the matter inthis discussion, the student may discussthe matter with the department chair.Copies of all graded tests, quizzes, andother assignments will be needed.

In the event that the student is not satis-fied with the outcome of the discussionswith the course instructor and the chair,he or she may make a written request tothe chair for a formal consideration ofthe problem.This request must be sub-mitted within three weeks after thebeginning of the semester immediatelyfollowing the regular Fall or Springsemester. Included in the request will bean outline of the student’s specific com-plaints. The chair shall make a detailedinvestigation and shall notify the student



and course instructor of his or her find-ings. The student may appeal the find-ings of the chair to the Dean of theschool in which the course was offered.The Dean of the school will respond tothe student in writing and will preservethe documentation of the process.Whenthe department chair is the courseinstructor, the student may appeal to theDean of the school in which the coursewas taught who will investigate the mat-ter and notify the student and thedepartment chair of his or her findings.

Students should be aware that only thecourse instructor may change a grade.

Grade Changes

All course grades (except “I” grades)are intended to be final and permanent.It is expected that course instructorswill determine and report final gradesas accurately and precisely as the natureof the evaluation of student achieve-ment and the grading system will per-mit. It is considered the instructor’sdirect and personal responsibility toinsure that grades are fair and reportedcorrectly.

Notwithstanding all precautions, facul-ty members can make errors.When thisoccurs, the errors should be correctedso that students are not unfairly penal-ized. If a course instructor decides to request a grade correction, theappropriate forms must be completedand sent to the Dean of the school inwhich the course was taught. A copyof the change of grade form will besent to the Dean of the school wherethe student is registered. Except in thecase of contested grades, all requests forcorrecting grades must be submitted bylast day of the fourth week of thesemester of the following Fall or Spring

Students cannot expect that any make-up tests, quizzes or laboratories will beprovided and may incur an appropriategrade penalty for such absences,excused or unexcused. Reasonableaccommodations for excused absencesare encouraged but are solely at the dis-cretion of the faculty member.

Withdrawal from a Course

Students who wish to withdraw from acourse, with no academic penalty, mustcomplete a withdrawal form, securingthe signatures of the instructor and ofthe academic advisor or Dean of theschool in which the student is enrolled.



Additionally, if an athlete is attemptingto withdraw from a course, the signa-ture of the academic advisor for ath-letes is required.

This requirementapplies to all applicants for any type offederal assistance. To be eligible forfinancial aid at Manhattan College stu-dents must be in compliance with allthree of the following areas: cumulativeGPA, hours earned, maximum timelimit.

I. Cumulative Grade Point Average(GPA): Students must maintain therequired cumulative grade point aver-age established by Manhattan Collegeto continue enrollment and to be eligi-ble for financial aid. Satisfactoryprogress will be measured for allcoursework attempted and/or com-pleted toward the student’s degree.

Attempted Credits Cumulative+ Transfer Credits GPA

1-26 1.827-59 1.9

60 and above 2.0

II. Earned Hours (Compared toAttempted Hours): It is recom-mended that students attempt to earnat least two-thirds of the creditsrequired per academic year in order tocomplete graduation requirements infour years.To remain eligible for finan-cial aid, students must earn at least 67%of total cumulative hours attempted.



For financial aid purposes, the follow-ing definitions and conditions apply:

• To earn hours at ManhattanCollege, one must receive a gradeof A, B, C, or D* (including “+”and “-”).All other grades, includingF, I or W do not earn hours.*Certain grades will not fulfill academicrequirements of a student’s major/degree. Refer to the catalog section ongrading policies.

• Classes from which a student with-draws after the drop/add periodcount as attempted but not earnedhours.Therefore, withdrawing fromclasses after the drop/add periodnegatively affects students’ ability tosatisfy the hours earned standard.

• When a student repeats a course,the total attempted hours willincrease with each repeat, but thestudent may only earn hours for asuccessfully completed course once.Therefore, repeating courses maynegatively affect student’s ability tosatisfy the hours earned standard.

• Accepted transfer credit counts asboth attempted and earned hours.

III. Maximum Time Limit: Toremain eligible for financial aid, under-graduate students must complete theirdegree requirements within 150 per-cent of the published length of theiracademic program. At ManhattanCollege, for example, this means thatstudents in programs requiring 120hours for graduation are eligible forfinancial aid during the first 180attempted hours as an undergraduate.All attempted hours are counted,including transfer hours,whether or notfinancial aid was received, or the coursework was successfully completed.

Annual SAP Reviews: At the end ofthe spring semester, a year-end reviewis completed, and students who are outof compliance with one or more of theSAP standards will be notified by theDean and the Office of StudentFinancial Services. The College’s poli-cies on academic warning, probationand dismissal are cited under theAcademic Standards and Proceduressection of the catalog. ManhattanCollege may fund students during theirprobationary period.

Regaining Eligibility for FinancialAid: To regain eligibility, the studentmay attend summer school and/or anyother terms necessary, without aid,until all deficiencies are remedied.

I. Cumulative GPAs can only bebrought up by attendance atManhattan College programswhere credit is earned and gradesare calculated for the grade pointaverage.

II.Hours deficiencies may be madeup by successfully completingcoursework at Manhattan Collegeor at another institution. However,if enrolling elsewhere, the studentmust complete the appropriateforms and have the courseworkpre-approved by ManhattanCollege prior to enrolling in theother institution. Students mustprovide an academic transcript aftertransient study coursework hasbeen successfully completed.


II.Maximum Time Frame: Oncethe Time Limit has been exceeded,aid eligibility ends, even if the stu-dent is in compliance with theother two standards. There is noregaining eligibility for aid as longas the student is an undergraduate.

Once students are in compliance withall three standards (are back in compli-ance with the first two standards andstill in compliance with the third), theymust notify the Financial Aid in writ-ing to request a reevaluation of eligi-bility.This process cannot be done untilall grades and hours are posted to thestudent’s official record. No financialaid award can be calculated until afterthe review process is complete.

Appeals: Federal regulations allow forcertain cases in which the school maywaive the standards. Appeals for thewaiver may be considered if a student’sfailure to comply with one or moreareas of Satisfactory Academic Progressis due to mitigating circumstances.These must be appropriately docu-mented for the specific term(s) inwhich the deficiency occurred.Eligibility may be regained by appeal.Contact the Director of StudentFinancial Services and the Dean toprocess a Satisfactory AcademicProgress (SAP) Appeal.

ARTSSince its founding, Manhattan Collegehas sought to broaden the intellectualhorizons of its students and to preparethem for the various professions. TheSchool of Arts continues the College’stradition through its core curriculumand its majors.The faculty of Arts seekto provide students with the skills ofanalysis and criticism that are central toan understanding of the contemporaryworld, to provide the informationalbase for that understanding, and to pre-pare individual men and women withthe flexibility essential for effective pro-fessional development in a rapidlychanging society.

The Curriculum

The faculty of Arts have adopted a pro-gram of education that will providestudents with the opportunity for a lifeof continuing growth and developmentin the twenty-first century.The core ofthe program is entitled THE ROOTSOF LEARNING. Its development wassupported by a generous grant from theNational Endowment for theHumanities.

Foundation courses include composi-tion, foreign language, science, andmathematics. Students then proceed tostudies of the modern age throughhumanities and the social sciences.Theprogram is structured to provide acommon learning experience for allstudents in Arts.

The Core:

The Roots of Learning

The Roots of Learning represents acommitment to an educational pro-gram that judiciously combines con-tent and process.The program seeks to

• equip students with the intellectualskills essential to a productive profes-sional life of learning and leadership;

• immerse students in the traditionsof humanism, the sciences, and thesocial sciences;

• provide the global perspectiveessential to living and growing inour ever smaller, but increasinglycomplex world; and

• develop critical reasoning and ana-lytical skills through an intensivestudy of fundamental texts.

First-year students enroll in the“Classical Origins of Western Culture”and in the “Global Origins of U.S.Society.”“Classical Origins” is speciallydesigned to engage students in a con-sideration of the examined life throughreadings of Greek, Roman, and relatedtexts, and provides a foundation for anunderstanding of the contemporaryworld.

“Global Origins,” through examinationof the many peoples that make up U.S.society, is designed to prepare studentsfor life in an increasingly multiculturalsociety. Reading the literature of differ-ent ethnic groups enables students toimagine the world through the eyes ofothers. The course devotes particularattention to the ways in which race,class, gender, and ethnicity affect bothindividuals and social structures.

Bachelor of Science in

General Studies

The curriculum for the degree pro-gram in General Studies is an alterna-tive to the usual undergraduate cur-riculum. It features an area of concen-tration rather than a major, and threeareas of lesser concentration.Consequently, there is less specializa-tion, but opportunity for broader andmore structured general education.This curriculum is designed to meetthe educational needs of special groupsof students and requires special advis-ing. Each program provides corerequirements in English, fine arts, histo-ry, mathematics, philosophy, psycholo-gy, religious studies, and sociology as afoundation for self-enrichment, appre-ciation and understanding. The basiccore requires forty-eight credits,including nine credits in religious stud-ies, six of which must be electives at the300- and 400-level.

A student will be required to take onearea of concentration (a minimum ofeighteen credits beyond the core cur-riculum) in one of the following areas:economics, education, English, govern-ment, history, mathematics and com-puter science, modern language, philos-ophy, psychology, religious studies, sci-ence, and sociology.

In addition, a student must follow threeareas of lesser concentration (a mini-mum of twelve credits each beyond thecore curriculum) in fields other thanthe area of greater concentration. Thebalance of the program will includeelectives. A student’s program shouldnot include electives that exceed twen-ty-four credits in the field of greaterconcentration or eighteen credits in thefields of lesser concentration.

Fields of lesser concentration may beselected from the following areas: busi-ness, economics, education, English, finearts, government, history, mathematicsand computer science, modern lan-guage, philosophy, psychology, religiousstudies, science, and sociology.

Students must achieve a grade of C orbetter in all areas of concentration.

Arts encourages students to broadentheir educational horizons by partici-pating in foreign study programs. Inorder to participate in such a program,often referred to as a “Junior YearAbroad,” a student must have a mini-mum cumulative index of 2.75.



Arts is affiliated with the AmericanInstitute for Foreign Study and is alsoassociated with the Institute forEuropean Study and its campusesworld-wide. Foreign study opportuni-ties are available in many countries.

Further information about these and awide range of other study abroadopportunities is available through theDirector for International Programs,Professor Nevart Wanger. All foreignstudy programs must be approved bythe Office of the Dean of Arts afterconsultation with the Director forInternational Programs.

Policy for

Off-Campus Courses

Once a student is admitted toManhattan College, all major and minordepartment courses and all CoreCurriculum courses must be taken atManhattan College. Certain approvednon-resident programs would be excep-tions to this requirement. Under unusu-al circumstances, courses may be takenat another college, with the approval ofthe Dean, after consultation with theChair of a student’s major department.Ordinarily, students who have achievedjunior or senior status will not be per-mitted to take courses at two-year jun-ior or community colleges.

Honor Societies and

Research Opportunities

The faculty of Arts, in order to encour-age and reward the development ofserious scholarship among its students,have established on campus a numberof national honor societies. Chiefamong these are Phi Beta Kappa andSigma Xi.

Phi Beta Kappa, founded in 1776, isdedicated to the ideal of excellence inscholarship in the liberal arts and sci-ences and is widely regarded as a markof the highest distinction. TheManhattan College Chapter, theUpsilon of New York, was chartered in1971. Students elected to Phi BetaKappa are chosen from among thosestudents who have achieved generalscholastic excellence.

Sigma Xi is a national honor societyfounded in 1886 that encourages origi-nal research in the pure and applied sci-ences. Students are elected to member-ship on the basis of their accomplish-ments in research and their enthusiasmfor continued scientific investigation.

In addition, most academic depart-ments sponsor local chapters of nation-al honor societies in their disciplines.Alist of these may be found on p. 30.Thefaculty are dedicated to encouragingstudent research efforts and are pleasedto have students join them in their ownresearch. Indeed, one of the hallmarksof Manhattan College is the frequencywith which students and faculty jointogether in research projects.

Independent study courses are availablein most departments for students seek-ing the opportunity to do advanced-level study with a faculty member. Inaddition, many departments also spon-sor supervised internships and field-study opportunities through thedepartment or through theCooperative Education Program.

Of special note are the BraniganScholars Grants. These grants, estab-lished in 1967 through the generouscontributions of Edward VincentBranigan ’40 with matching gifts from



major corporations and support fromthe National Endowment for theHumanities, provide summer stipendsfor students pursuing research projectsindependent of their course work.

Cooperative Education

Opportunities for off-campus workexperiences that carry course credittoward graduation are available to jun-iors and seniors in the School of Artsthrough the Cooperative EducationProgram.

Graduate Awards and

Fellowships

Manhattan College is among a small,select group of American Collegessending large numbers of students onto graduate schools. To continue thistradition, Arts has developed programsto assist students seeking informationabout graduate programs and particu-larly about fellowships and scholarshipsfor graduate study. Further informationis available from the Office of Post-Baccalaureate Studies DLS 206E, fromthe departmental chairs, and from Dr.Margaret Groarke, Fellowship Advisor.

BUSINESS

Historical Note

In September, 1926, a two-year pro-gram of courses in business was offeredto qualified students who had complet-ed two years in Arts and Sciences.Thesuccess of this program prompted theestablishment of Business in the springof 1927. Degrees of Bachelor ofScience in Business were awarded tothe first graduates of the program inJune, 1928. During the next two yearsthe program of professional subjectswas again revised and extended to afour year curriculum of business andcultural courses.The first class to com-plete this curriculum conducted totallywithin Business was graduated in 1932.In 1933 the degree designation waschanged to Bachelor of BusinessAdministration. In 1970, as a result ofan extensive curriculum revision whichemphasizes a balance of humanities,mathematics, science, social sciences,and professional business courses, thedegree was changed to the Bachelor ofScience (Business Administration). Atthe same time, the baccalaureate degreeprogram in the Evening Session wasmerged into Business.

The School of Business is accredited byAACSB International, the Associationto Advance Collegiate Schools ofBusiness, the premier accreditingagency for business programs globally.

Mission Statement

In the Lasallian tradition and consistentwith the mission of ManhattanCollege, the mission of the School ofBusiness is to prepare young men andwomen from diverse backgrounds to

become effective and socially responsi-ble business and community leaders.The School’s primary emphasis is pro-viding superior management educationto qualified students, mostly from theNortheast, who will have employmentopportunities at world class organiza-tions.

Curriculum and Programs

In order to accomplish the mission ofBusiness, the curriculum is structuredto achieve a balance of liberal artscourses, and professional businesscourses thus bringing together liberaleducation and professional businesspreparation.The program in liberal artsis divided among the areas of humani-ties, mathematics, sciences, and socialsciences.The professional business pro-gram, which includes core coursesrequired of all students and the study ofa major field, offers the student a bal-anced approach to the two aspects ofthe various business disciplines—theo-ry and application to practical prob-lems.This practical/theoretical approachheightens the ability of the student toreason and analyze a situation in thecontext of a given environment thusdeveloping in him or her a practicaloutlook that reflects business reality. Inaddition, the School provides its stu-dents with an exposure to the world ofbusiness. The societal considerations ofthe firm and the behavioral aspects ofthe managerial function are interwoventhroughout the business curriculum.The focus in the professional area is onexecutive action in business and non-business organizations.

The program of liberal arts courses,which comprises over one-half of thetotal curriculum, blends humanistic



knowledge with professional careerpreparation. The sequence of generalbusiness related courses examines thefundamentals which underlie the prac-tice of business.The sequence includescourses in accounting and mathematicsrelating to the use of quantitative datain decision-making and control. Othercourses in this sequence are economics,law, management, marketing andbehavioral sciences. In each of thesecourses emphasis is placed on essentialanalytical tools and their use in businessproblems of a specific area and preparesthe student to enter a career in a func-tional field or undertake graduatestudy.The major fields are accounting,computer information systems, eco-nomics, finance, management, and mar-keting. Global Business Studies may betaken as a second or co-major.

Major Fields

Accounting. The concentration inaccounting centers around financialand operational communications forbusiness and governmental units. Theprogram prepares students for careers inpublic accounting, industrial or privateaccounting, governmental and institu-tional accounting, or for a general busi-ness career.Accounting education pro-vides a sound basis for advancement tomanagerial positions and is a desirablebackground for other non-businessprofessions, such as law.

Computer Information Systems.This area of concentration enables astudent to determine the information-al needs of an organization and identi-fy the patterns of information flowwhich satisfy those needs.The programincludes studies in computer hardwareand software, programming, computer

decision systems, file and communica-tion systems, operations analysis andsimulation, management informationsystems, and the analysis and design ofinformation systems. The CIS majorwill find excellent career opportunitiesin systems analysis and managementinformation systems. By combiningCIS with such functional areas asaccounting, finance, marketing, ormanagement, the CIS graduate will beable to participate more effectively insystem development.

Economics. A concentration in busi-ness economics is designed for thosestudents whose primary interest is ori-ented towards an examination of eco-nomic relationships. Students seeking abroad global economic background forgovernment, industry, or law wouldbenefit from this program.

Finance. The concentration in financeenables the student to examine thetasks and techniques of financial man-agement within business and govern-ment units and to study the elaboratestructure of financial institutions andthe broad range of financial instru-ments which are utilized in the globaleconomic system.The program stressesfinancial analysis and decision-making.

Global Business Studies. This pro-gram develops in the student a thor-ough and rigorous global perspectiveand understanding of the internationalenvironment and markets. Such under-standing is essential for any Americanbusiness person who competes domes-tically and in the international arena.This field is interdisciplinary in natureand includes studies in economics,finance, marketing, management andgovernment. Students who are interest-ed in pursuing careers in the interna-

WWW.MANHATTAN.EDU BUSINESS ·97·


tional phase of business or governmentmay pursue it only as a second major.Proficiency in a foreign language isstrongly recommended.

Management. Programs whichinclude a concentration in manage-ment foster an understanding of therole of management in today’s globalorganizations. The program examinesvarious theories of management;explains the skills and activities used bymanagement in fulfilling managerialfunctions; explores the possibility ofinstituting new techniques in manage-ment and seeks to arouse interest inmanagement as a growing field. Themajor emphasis is on behavioral aspectsof organizations and administrativeactions, in both business and non-com-mercial organizations. Special attentionis given to the social responsibilities ofthe business executive and the role ofthe modern corporation in society.

Marketing. This field of study encom-passes those functions involved indetermining consumer needs andwants, developing products and servic-es, and communicating with and deliv-ering these goods to the consumer.Theprogram emphasizes a managerialapproach; is globally oriented; and isaimed at the development of marketingmanagers. The curriculum stressesanalysis and decision-making in themarketing process.

Double Majors

The business curriculum providesseven major fields of study from whichthe student can elect one or more forin-depth study. A student who opts tomajor in two areas of concentrationshould utilize the business and free

electives in such a way as to satisfy therequirements for the second majorwhich consists of fifteen credits. Liberalarts electives cannot be used to satisfythe requirements of any business majoror minor.

Minor Programs. In order to providean opportunity for the student tobroaden her or his educational experi-ences, students in Business are able tominor in a discipline other than theirmajor field. Through special arrange-ments with Arts and Sciences, a studentmay take a minor program consistingof approximately 15 credits in thehumanities, mathematics, sciences, orsocial sciences. A student may take aminor in any of the major fields offeredby Business.This program consists of 9credits. Details of these programs maybe found under the heading “MinorFields” in the pages to follow.

All major and minor credits must betaken at Manhattan College. A mini-mum grade of C is necessary to receivemajor or minor credit.Also all 300 and400 level Business courses must betaken at Manhattan College.

Guidance Program

The guidance and advisory programfor students in Business is conducted byan Academic Advisor in conjunctionwith the Department Chairs. TheAcademic Advisor counsels all first-year students, sophomores, and transferstudents, as well as any juniors and sen-iors when necessary. All students selecttheir major at the end of their sopho-more year. Programs of study for first-year students, sophomores, and transferstudents, as well as co-approval of ath-letes, are approved by the Academic



Advisor. Programs of study for juniorsand seniors are approved by theDepartment Chairs who act as advisorsto the students in selecting a major.Each Department Chair is responsiblefor advising students majoring in her orhis area. They are closely associatedwith professional business organizationsand industrial groups carrying outrelated activities, thus assuring maxi-mum service to the student in prepar-ing to meet the requirements for thedegree, for advanced professional study,and for placement.

Coursework and practicalexperiences in Education provide thoseskills necessary for work in a school orclinical setting. The School seeks todevelop broadly educated teachers andhealth service professionals who possesscompetencies necessary for certifica-tion in their area of study or for grad-uate study.

The Teacher Preparation Programs atManhattan College simultaneouslymeet the requirement of the college forexcellence in core curriculum, aca-demic concentrations and pedagogy; aswell as standards established by NewYork State for teacher certification.The programs are designed to be con-sistent with the LaSallian tradition ofexcellence in teaching, respect for indi-vidual dignity, and commitment tosocial justice principles, on which thecollege was founded.

The goal of the Education Faculty isthe preparation of professional educa-tors who are reflective, scholarly andcommitted to the education of alllearners. Students examine the theo-retical foundations of learning andteaching in relation to psychological,philosophical, historical and sociologi-cal issues.This theoretical foundation isapplied to the practice of teaching andlearning as students engage in field-based experiences in the context of a



diverse, contemporary educationalenvironment. The total ManhattanCollege experience is designed to pre-pare graduates who are self-directedlearners, effective teachers, informedprofessionals and caring human beingscommitted to the education of alllearners.

Curricula

A strong core of liberal arts and sci-ence courses is central to all programsin Education. Each TeacherPreparation Program has three com-ponents; the core requirements in theliberal arts and sciences; an academicconcentration and the professionaleducation component of the program.Physical Education and Radiologicaland Health Professions Programsinclude those courses that providenecessary professional expertise. Allstudents in Education complete a cul-minating experience of student teach-ing, professional practicum, or clinicalinternship where they are expected todisplay the ability to apply knowledgegained through previous course workand field experiences.The curricula ofthe Childhood Education,Adolescent,Dual-Childhood Special Education,and Physical Education Programs aredesigned for traditional undergraduatestudents who are pursuing theirdegrees full-time. Most of the coursesin education are offered during theday and require extensive work in aschool setting between the hours of8:30 a.m. until 2:30 p.m.The Collegedoes not have an alternative certifica-tion program.

Advising

Students in the Childhood Education,Adolescent, and Dual-Childhood/Special Education, and PhysicalEducation Programs have at least twoassigned advisors in their Departments.Students have a third advisor in the con-tent specialization (i.e., English, Math).Each student receives a checklist ofcourses required for graduation based onhis/her education program and contentspecialization.

Students are required to meet withtheir Faculty Advisor to discuss indi-vidual academic and professionalprogress, and course scheduling eachsemester. Once students have met withand received the signature of theirFaculty Advisor they must then submittheir schedule to the Academic Advisorfor approval.While faculty advisors areavailable for academic counseling andguidance, the student is ultimatelyresponsible for academic and profes-sional decisions.

1. The Faculty Advisor provides guid-ance through the program and con-sultation related to professionalissues.This may include selecting anacademic concentration, identifyingappropriate electives or discussinggraduate school or employmentoptions.The education advisor isthe sole faculty advisor for studentswho choose a General Studies con-tent specialization.

2. The Academic Advisor for theSchool of Education overseescourse scheduling for registration.The academic advisor also monitorsstudents’ compliance with require-ments for all undergraduate certifi-cation programs, the College’s aca-demic standards, and New YorkState teacher certification.

The Physical Education

Curriculum

This curriculum is structured to pro-vide students with a breadth of experi-ence in the liberal arts and sciences andprofessional subjects. Religious studiesand philosophy requirements seek topresent the values expected of a personpreparing for a professional career.Every effort is made in the profession-al courses to correlate the theory ofgeneral education as it applies to phys-ical education.

The curriculum provides a suitablefoundation for continued study ingraduate schools in such areas as teach-ing physical education, special educa-tion, motor development, health, phys-ical/ occupational therapy, adult fitnessand cardiac rehabilitation, administra-tion and supervision, and recreationspecializations.

Physical Education students maychoose one of two majors: PhysicalEducation Teacher K-12 or ExerciseScience.

Physical Education Teacher K-12:This major prepares students tobecome competent teachers of physicaleducation. It enables students to meetacademic requirements for initial NewYork State teaching certification. Statecertification in Physical Education alsocovers certification in coaching.

Under advisement students can choosecourses and field experiences thatwould enable them to learn the theoryand skills for teaching physical educa-tion to persons with disabilities in themainstream of schooling, in specialeducation settings, or institutional orindustrial settings.

ENGINEERING

Historical Note

At its beginning, engineering educa-tion at Manhattan developed out of ascience program in coordination withliberal arts. In 1892, Civil Engineeringand Electrical Engineering wereamong four curricula leading to theBachelor of Science degree. CivilEngineering has continued uninter-ruptedly since. Electrical Engineering,suspended shortly after its introduction,was re-established as a degree programin 1935. Curricula in MechanicalEngineering, Chemical Engineering,and Environmental Engineering wereintroduced in 1957, 1958, and 1993respectively, followed by ComputerEngineering in 1998.

Mission Statement

During the 1995-96 academic year, theSchool of Engineering developed thefollowing mission statement with inputfrom all constituents:

The mission of the Manhattan CollegeSchool of Engineering is to preparestudents for a productive and rewardingcareer in engineering or a related pro-fession. The curriculum instills thetechniques and skills of engineeringdesign through the study of basic andadvanced engineering science.

Engineering Education

The foundation of the engineeringcurriculum includes: (1) the study ofscience representing the current state ofhuman knowledge of the physicalworld and its behavior; (2) the study ofmathematics, the language and tool thatengineers use to describe the physicalworld; (3) breadth of study in thehumanities and social sciences, the basisfor making ethical and moral engineer-ing decisions; (4) development of theability for independent learning andcritical thinking; and, (5) developmentof skills in written, verbal, and graphi-cal communication.

In an age of revolutionary advances inscience and technology continual re-examination of trends in engineeringeducation becomes imperative.Accordingly Manhattan’s engineeringfaculty, in consultation with a distin-guished group of engineers and indus-trial leaders assembled from engineer-

ing-related organizations, theManhattan College Council onEngineering Affairs, study and evaluatethe concepts of engineering educationand the College’s program. These stud-ies re-emphasize the importance ofhumanities, mathematics and sciencesas the foundation of engineering edu-cation.The engineering curriculum is,therefore, planned to provide the soundand broad education required in allbranches of engineering.

Curricula

The engineering curricula have beendesigned with two premises in mind:one, that sound undergraduate engi-neering education must establish funda-mental concepts at the expense of spe-cialization; and two, that first-line engi-neering research, development or designrequires post-collegiate specializationand advanced study through graduatework or industrial training, togetherwith continuing self development.

The engineering curricula are four-year programs and lead to the bachelorof science degree in one of the tradi-tional branches of engineering:Chemical Engineering, Civil Engin-eering, Electrical Engineering andMechanical Engineering, and newerareas, Computer Engineering andEnvironmental Engineering. Despitethe apparent division of engineeringstudy into these six curricula, there isbut one core engineering curriculumdesigned to offer the fundamental edu-cation required for all engineering stu-dents.

All students must complete ENGL110. International students may berequired to successfully completeENGL 095 or ENGL 106 before

enrolling in ENGL 110. Students grad-uating from an American high schoolmay be required to complete ENGL106 before enrolling in ENGL 110.Neither ENGL 095 nor ENGL 106will count towards degree credit in anyengineering program.

The curriculum for the first year iscommon to all branches of engineer-ing. In order to enable a student to testhis or her interest in one of the majorengineering disciplines, he or she takesdesignated courses from this disciplinein the sophomore year.The curricula ofthe various engineering majors areoutlined at the end of this section.

Each curriculum offers four areas of study:

1. Humanities and Social ScienceStudies: Courses in this area com-prise about one fifth of the entirecurriculum and are conductedthroughout the four years. Thissequence aims to develop founda-tions for the fuller life of the studentas a person. Courses in history, liter-ature, philosophy, social sciences andreligious studies blend humanisticand religious knowledge with thescientific and technological growthof the student so that he or she mayprogress as a more complete persontoward a satisfying professional life.

2. Mathematics and the Basic Sci-ences: Approximately one quarter ofthe entire curriculum provides a thor-ough grounding in mathematics, atleast through differential equations,and the basic sciences of chemistry andphysics.These subjects are essential toall engineering students as the founda-tion of the engineering sciences. Allstudents are required to pass a mathe-matics proficiency examination priorto taking Calculus I.



3. The Engineering Sciences:Fundamental concepts in engineer-ing sciences provide a comprehen-sive foundation for all engineeringdisciplines. Topics such as statics,dynamics, electrical circuits, materi-als science, and thermodynamicsintegrate and build on principlesintroduced in mathematics, chem-istry, and physics. Engineering sci-ence enables students to develop thecompetence to apply essential prin-ciples to synthesize and design engi-neering systems.

4. The fourth area of study is the majorfield which is described in the fol-lowing paragraphs.

The Major

Although significant specialization ispostponed until after the bachelor’sdegree, concentrations in Chemical,Civil, Computer, Electrical, Environ-mental or Mechanical Engineering areoffered as a major, comprising aboutone half of each curriculum. Each stu-dent is able to concentrate on oneaspect of the engineering sciences ingreater depth and to develop proficien-cy in engineering design.

The programs in Chemical Engineering,Civil Engineering, Computer Engin-eering, Electrical Engineering, Environ-mental Engineering, and MechanicalEngineering are accredited at the basiclevel by the Engineering AccreditationCommission of the Accreditation Boardof Engineering and Technology.

Chemical Engineering

Civil and Environmental

Engineering

Mission StatementThe department of Civil andEnvironmental Engineering atManhattan College offers a wide rangeof technical education in these tworelated fields of study. Among these areseparate curricula and majors in eitherCivil or Environmental Engineering aswell as combined majors and minors(civil major, environmental minor orenvironmental major, civil minor). Inaddition, programs which combine amajor in either area with a concentra-tion in a variety of sub-disciplines suchas structures, water and wastewatertreatment, geotechnology, geoenviron-mental studies, and transportation arealso available. A strong and well-fund-ed undergraduate research programthat provides a unique and very impor-tant area for the enrichment of under-graduate engineering education isavailable to students.

Civil Engineering

Mission StatementThe mission of the Civil EngineeringProgram is to develop a custom-madeeducational plan for each of our stu-dents so upon graduation they are pre-pared to continue their graduate stud-ies or enter into the Civil EngineeringProfession. Our goal is to make surethat our students are ready to functionprofessionally as responsible membersof the global engineering communitydedicated to life-long learning and col-laborative practice, discovery and shar-ing a breadth of knowledge. The pro-gram puts particular emphasis on intro-ducing the students to the broad rangeof Civil Engineering disciplines.

Civil engineers use mathematics,together with the basic sciences andengineering sciences, in the study ofthe structural, environmental, geotech-nical, transportation, and waterresources engineering disciplines.These disciplines allow a civil engineer,working to improve the environment,to plan, design and construct the indus-trial plants of the world, the great pub-lic works, the housing, the bases forspace exploration and the transporta-tion networks.

Structural engineering deals with theanalysis, design and construction ofbuildings, bridges, ships, aircraft andother flight structures. EnvironmentalEngineering with its emphasis on waterresources and quality allows a civil engi-neer to analyze and model the environ-ment, assess the effects of man’s activitieson it, and design control facilities toensure improvement and protection ofthe quality of our nation’s waterresources. Geotechnical engineeringconcentrates on the study of the behav-ior of various soils and designs adequatesupports for all structures resting on theearth and other planets. Several coursesare also offered by the department relat-ed to the planning and designing of effi-cient transportation systems.

Students obtain a background in eachof the above disciplines with one ormore concentrations.

Within the department of Civil andEnvironmental Engineering, civil engi-neering majors have the opportunity topursue an exclusive Civil Engineeringcurriculum. If, however, they wish tocombine a civil major with an environ-mental minor, there is sufficient flexibil-ity in the program to accommodate this.



Environmental Engineering

Mission StatementThe mission of the EnvironmentalEngineering Program is to educate andmentor our students to enable them tobecome successful and responsiblepractitioners in the unique and ever-changing field of environmental sci-ence and engineering. The programemphasizes the need for a multi-disci-plinary, hands-on education that fosterscreativity, collaboration and life-longlearning in keeping with the humanis-tic need to maintain and improve thequality of our local and global environ-ments.

Environmental EngineeringEnvironmental Engineering as a majoris a broad and diverse discipline involv-ing all phases of the basic sciencesincluding mathematics, chemistry, biol-ogy, physics and computer science.This program is designed to prepareour students for lifelong careers inenvironmental consulting firms, gov-ernment agencies and industry as wework to solve the many challenges ofproviding safe drinking water, clean airand water quality, proper disposal ofsolid and hazardous waste, effectiveenvironmental site restoration, andresponsible management of our naturalresources.

Our undergraduate curriculumemphasizes the fundamentals of envi-ronmental chemistry, biology, engi-neering science, and engineeringdesign during the freshman and sopho-more years. In the junior and senioryears, course work in water supply, airand water quality analysis, wastewatertreatment, solid and hazardous wastemanagement, environmental law, andrisk assessment provides students with

the strong technical expertise andbreadth required in environmentalengineering. Project-based learning isemphasized throughout the curricu-lum, particularly in The Companycourse sequence.

During the junior year, students workin groups directly with a faculty advisorand one or more practicing engineersin a one year, project-based courseknown as The Company. This course isdesigned to provide students with theopportunity to apply their technicalknowledge to “real world” projects,while stressing oral and written com-munication, teamwork, project man-agement, and other important skillsthat are valid in today’s workplace.

Within the Department of Civil andEnvironmental Engineering, Environ-mental Engineering majors have theopportunity to pursue an extensivelyEnvironmental curriculum. If, howev-er, they wish to combine anEnvironmental major with a Civil orGeotechnical minor, there is sufficientflexibility in the program to accommo-date this.

Cooperative 3-2 Program

Engineering at Manhattan College hascooperative arrangements with severalliberal arts Colleges which enables astudent to earn a B.S. degree in liberalarts and a B.S. in engineering degree inone of the engineering programs afterfive years of study.The B.S. degree witha major in chemistry, physics, or math-ematics is awarded by the liberal artscollege and the B.S. in engineeringdegree by Manhattan College.The stu-dent spends the first three years of thefive year sequence at the liberal artscollege and the final two years inEngineering at Manhattan College.

Eleven colleges are presently participat-ing in this program:

College of The Sacred Heart

Dominican College

Le Moyne College

Manhattan College

Pace University

Saint Anselm College

Saint Thomas Aquinas College

Saint John Fisher College

Siena College

St. John’s University

St. Joseph’s College (Maine)

Transferring from a

Community College

Students who complete a pre-engineer-ing program will generally be permittedto transfer up to 67 credits towards aBachelor of Science in Engineeringdegree. In accordance with accreditationprinciples of the EngineeringAccreditation Commission of the

Accreditation Board for Engineeringand Technology, transfer credit will onlybe permitted for courses in which agrade of C (2.0) or higher has beenearned.

Students who graduate with anAssociate Degree in a technology pro-gram will generally only be permittedto transfer 9 credits towards a Bachelorof Science in Engineering degree.

Engineering maintains articulationagreements with many of the commu-nity colleges in the Tri-State area. Forfurther information, please contact theOffice of the Dean of Engineering at(718) 862-7281.

Graduate-Level Courses

(5XX, 6XX, 7XX)

Students in all engineering disciplines,who have a grade point average of atleast 3.00 or the permission of thedepartment chair can elect to takegraduate-level courses. All students inthe Environmental EngineeringDepartment are required to take threegraduate-level courses. These courses,ENVG 505, 506, 507, 535 and 536, aspart of their undergraduate degree pro-gram, provide students in their senioryear the opportunity to study advancedtopics which are generally only avail-able to graduate students. These cours-es will count for either undergraduateor graduate credit but not for bothdegree programs. Undergraduate stu-dents who enroll for undergraduatecredit will be graded according to thestandard undergraduate grading sys-tem, and the grade will be counted inthe undergraduate grade point average.Tuition for the undergraduates in thegraduate-level courses will be charged



at the undergraduate rates provided thestudent does not exceed the total num-ber of credits permitted for the aca-demic year.

Seamless Master’s Degree

Program

Outstanding students may be invited toapply for a Seamless Master’s Degreeprogram in Chemical, Civil, Com-puter, Electrical, Environmental, orMechanical Engineering. Academicallystrong students who enter ManhattanCollege with Advanced Placementand/or undergraduate college creditwill generally be in a position to takegraduate courses during their senioryear at Manhattan College while com-pleting the requirements for theBachelor’s degree. It may then be pos-sible to obtain a Master’s degree withan additional year of study.

Undergraduate students who haveearned a minimum of 3.20 GPA areeligible to apply for the SeamlessMaster’s Degree program upon the rec-ommendation of a member of theengineering faculty. Transfer studentsmay be considered after completingcourses at Manhattan College.Admitted students are required tocomplete the baccalaureate degreewith a 3.00 GPA prior to continuingfor the additional year of graduatestudy.

Students admitted into the SeamlessMaster’s Degree program may enroll in500, 600, or 700 level courses whilecompleting the requirements for theBachelor’s degree. These courses willcount for either undergraduate orgraduate credit but not for both degreeprograms. Since some required gradu-

ate courses are offered on a two-yearrotation, admitted students must meetwith the chair of the major departmentprior to their senior year in order toselect appropriate 500, 600, and 700-level courses to satisfy the Master’sDegree requirements. There is notuition increase for enrolling in gradu-ate courses during the senior year pro-vided the student does not exceed thetotal number of credits permitted forthe academic year.

After completing the undergraduatedegree requirements, financial supportmay be available from individualdepartments for the additional year ofgraduate study. This support typicallyincludes research assistantships, aca-demic scholarships and grants, andindustrial fellowships.

Professional and Career

Development

Professional Engineering LicensingAn important goal for each engineer-ing student is to achieve the distinctionof being a licensed professional engi-neer. Receipt of the baccalaureatedegree from an institution accreditedby the Accreditation Board ofEngineering and Technology (ABET)is one important step. The require-ments for licensure include a two partexamination. Engineering students ingood academic standing at ManhattanCollege may take the first part, theFundamentals of Engineering (FE)examination, during their senior year.This FE examination is heavily basedon mathematics, basic sciences, and theengineering sciences. The engineeringcurriculum at Manhattan College isexcellent preparation for success on theexamination.



Preparation for Law SchoolStudents interested in entering lawschool may receive information andguidance through the Prelegal AdvisoryCommittee. In addition to personalinterviews, the Committee conductsgroup meetings to advise students onspecialized fields of law.The committeemakes information available onrequirements for admission to lawschools, the availability of scholarships,and special opportunities in the legalprofession. Further information is avail-able from Professor Jeff Horn of theDepartment of History.

Preparation for Medicine andDentistryThe Health Professions AdvisoryCommittee is a body of faculty mem-bers who give guidance to studentsinterested in preparing for careers inmedicine, dentistry and allied fields.The Committee attempts to help stu-dents become aware of the qualifica-tions essential for admission to profes-sional schools. The Committee advisesstudents on the selection of programsof study that will furnish them withspecialized pre-professional courses inthe sciences and with a broad liberaleducation to prepare them for effectiveparticipation in the human community.Further information is available fromthe Office of the Chair of the HealthAdvisory Committee, Bruce Liby.

The minimum required courses foradmission to professional schools are:

Biology 111-112, 113-114, Chemistry101-102, 319-320, 323-324, English110, Mathematics 103-104, and Physics101-102 or 107-108. Specific schoolsmay require or recommend othercourses. Pre-professional students areexpected to maintain an average of atleast a 3.0 in their science courses.

Academic Standing

Students are considered to be in goodacademic standing in the College whentheir Manhattan College cumulativegrade point average is at least 2.00. Inaddition, to be considered in good aca-demic standing in the School ofEngineering, their cumulative engi-neering grade point average must be atleast 2.00, and their term grade pointaverage must be at least 2.00. Gradepoint averages are computed at the endof each semester.

A letter of academic warning is typical-ly issued to each student earning agrade of D or F in any given semester,but is still in good academic standing inEngineering. Letters of academicwarning in two consecutive semesters,while the student is still in good aca-demic standing in Engineering, willresult in a meeting with the AcademicAdvisor or the Dean.The letter of aca-demic warning clearly spells out thedanger to an academic program ofreceiving unacceptable grades.

A letter of academic probation is typi-cally issued to each student failing toremain in good academic standing inEngineering. Also, a letter of academicprobation is typically issued to studentsreceiving multiple unsatisfactory grades(especially grades of F) even though thestudent may be in good academicstanding. Freshman failing to remain ingood academic standing after their firstsemester may be placed on academicprobation. Students on probation arerequired to take a reduced course loadof 12 credits for the following semesterand may be restricted from participat-ing in College activities. Students mayremove themselves from academic probation by achieving a grade point



average of 2.0 by the end of the follow-ing regular semester. Failing to achievegood academic standing while on pro-bation can lead to an academic contractor, in extreme cases, dismissal.

A letter of academic contract is typical-ly issued to students failing to achievegood academic standing inEngineering as a result of their beingon academic probation.Also, a letter ofacademic contract is typically issued toa student if the most recent term gradepoint average falls below 1.0 even ifthey were not on probation the previ-ous semester. A student may not be onacademic contract for two consecutivesemesters.

Students are subject to suspensionwhen they fail to satisfy the terms ofthe academic contract or fail to achievegood academic standing while on pro-bation. In these situations, a judgmentis made by the Dean that the student’sstudies should be interrupted for a des-ignated time period, usually six monthsor one year, before reinstatementwould be considered. Suspended stu-dents must present evidence of theirability to continue their studies suc-cessfully when applying for such rein-statement into the School ofEngineering. Upon return, suspendedstudents are subject to academic con-tract for their first semester back.

Dismissal is a permanent separationfrom Manhattan College (not just theSchool of Engineering).A letter of dis-missal from the College may be issuedto each student failing to satisfy theterms of the academic contract or fail-ing to achieve good academic standingwhile on probation.A student may alsobe dismissed from the College when

they receive failing grades in all cours-es attempted in any one semester.

Generally, a student not in good aca-demic standing may not enroll in morethan four courses or for more than 14credits, whichever is less. Exceptions tothis provision requires the written per-mission of an Engineering AcademicAdvisor or the Dean.

Students must earn a grade of C (2.0)or higher in MATH 103, 104, 201;CHEM 101 and 102; and PHYS 101,102, as required for their program ofstudy, before enrolling in any 300 levelengineering courses.A grade of C (2.0)is required in MATH 203 prior to tak-ing any 400 level engineering course.

A student is permitted no more thanthree grades below a C (2.0) inEngineering Courses. If a student earnsless than a C (2.0) in more than threeengineering courses, the student mustrepeat one or more of them, and earngrade of C (2.0). The course(s) to berepeated will be determined in consul-tation with, and with the approval of,an Engineering Academic Advisor.

The following courses are included inthe above requirement: CHEM 309,310, 319, 320, and 323; PHYS 201,251; all CMPT and MATH coursesrequired for any engineering program,and any math and science electivecourses.

Humanities and Social

Science Requirements

Studies in humanities and social sci-ences serve not only to meet the objec-tives of a broad education but also tomeet the objectives of the engineeringprofession.

Guidance Program

The guidance and advisory programfor students in Engineering follows thepattern established for the entireCollege. Freshmen and first semestersophomores are advised by theAcademic Advisor in the Office of theDean of Engineering. The chairs ofengineering departments act as advisorsto upper division students. These stu-dents may also receive guidance andadvice through the Office of the Deanof Engineering.The phone number forthe Office of the Dean of Engineeringis (718) 862-7281.

Departmental faculty are also availableto counsel junior and senior studentswith respect to career opportunities intheir major, as well as the program ofstudy.

Student Societies

Student chapters of several nationalengineering societies have been estab-lished at Manhattan College to assistthe student in becoming familiar withthe engineering profession: Institute ofElectrical and Electronics Engineers,American Society of Civil Engineers,American Institute of ChemicalEngineers, and American Society ofMechanical Engineers.



Other organizations of special interestto engineering students include:American Chemical Society, NewtonMathematical Society, National Societyof Black Engineers, Society of HispanicProfessional Engineers, Society ofWomen Engineers, Association ofComputing Machinery, AmericanInstitute of Aeronautics and Astro-nau-tics, American Society of Heating,Refrigeration, Air Conditioning Eng-ineers, Electronics Club,The New YorkWater Environment Association, andthe Society of Automotive Engineers.Chapters of Tau Beta Pi (Engineering),Omega Chi Epsilon (Chemical Eng-ineering), Chi Epsilon (Civil Engineer-ing), Eta Kappa Nu (Electrical Engin-eering),Tau Chi Alpha (EnvironmentalEngineering) and Pi Tau Sigma (Mech-anical Engineering) honor societieshave been chartered at Manhattan Col-lege to recognize students who excel inscholarship and leadership. Member-ship in these national honor societies isopen to juniors and seniors.



SCIENCEThe most recent manifestation ofManhattan College’s commitment toScience education was the establish-ment of the School of Science in 1993.While maintaining its traditional tieswith the School of Arts, the School ofScience will serve to assure the contin-uation of Manhattan’s tradition ofexcellence in Science education — atradition which is reflected in the suc-cess of Manhattan’s Science graduatesand has led to Manhattan’s membershipin the Oberlin Group, a select numberof colleges recognized as one of thenation’s most important sources of pro-fessional scientists.

Curriculum

Undergraduate studies in the Sciencesare most challenging but provide analmost unique opportunity to learn anddevelop problem-solving and analyticalskills while gaining a deeper under-standing and appreciation of physicallaws and their applications.The choiceof a Science major is based upon theindividual’s interests, educational andcareer goals, and abilities. Majors maybe chosen from several areas: biology,biochemistry, chemistry, computer sci-ence, mathematics, physics. Electivecomponents of the major curriculaprovide the opportunity to exploreother areas of interest, enhance knowl-edge in a specialized area of the major,or to construct minor sequences inother disciplines. Minors may beearned in all of the departments of theSchool of Science. At Manhattan, ourScience curricula contain a strong corecomponent in the Arts to provide afoundation for our graduates to con-tend with the humanistic and ethical

issues they will face after graduation.Once a student is admitted toManhattan College, all major, minor,and Core courses must be taken atManhattan College. Certain non-resi-dent courses, with the approval of theDean and major department Chair,may be exceptions to this requirement.Under unusual circumstances, and withthe approval of the Dean after consul-tation with the Chair of the student’smajor department, courses may betaken at another College.

Honor Societies and

Research Opportunities

A number of national honor societieshave been established on campus inorder to encourage and recognize theachievements of Manhattan Collegestudents.

Phi Beta Kappa, founded in 1776, isdedicated to the idea of excellence inthe liberal arts and sciences. TheManhattan College chapter, theUpsilon of New York was established in1971. Election to Phi Beta Kappa isgenerally regarded as a mark of thehighest distinction.

Sigma Xi is a national honor societyfounded in 1896 to encourage researchin the sciences. Students are elected tomembership on the basis of theiraccomplishments in research and theirenthusiasm for continued scientificinvestigation.

Departments of the School of Sciencesponsor local chapters of nationalhonor societies in their disciplines; BetaBeta Beta (Biology), Gamma SigmaEpsilon (Chemistry), Pi Mu Epsilon(Mathematics), Sigma Pi Sigma(Physics).



The Science faculty are dedicated toencouraging student research efforts.Manhattan’s small classes and close stu-dent-faculty interactions generate anatmosphere which has produced manyimportant student-faculty research col-laborations.

BIOLOGY (BIOL)Sr. Kathleen Marie Tracey, S.C.,Professor

Interim Chair of the Department

Associate Professor Michael Judge,

Associate Chair

Biology is an integrated departmentwith the College of Mount SaintVincent. All lecture courses are offeredon the College of Mount Saint Vincentcampus. In some courses, however, lab-oratory and greenhouse work is con-ducted at the Biological SciencesResearch Laboratories on theManhattan College campus.

Many of the critical problems that theworld faces, which challenge values andbeliefs, can best be understood with aknowledge of biological principles.Accordingly, the mission of theDepartment of Biology is to give ourstudents an appreciation of the meth-ods, potentials, achievements, and limi-tations of the biological sciences, and toinstill in them the intellectual and eth-ical skills to use this information effec-tively. To accomplish this, theDepartment provides a combination ofrequired and elective courses in biolo-gy consistent with a liberal educationand maintains a tradition of strong sup-port for independent study and under-graduate research.The faculty membersof the joined Department of Biologyrecognize their responsibility to teachthe values that are important to theprocess of free inquiry, the foundationof our discipline.

The department has established aresearch affiliation with the AnimalHealth Center of the NYZS/TheWildlife Conservation Society (Bronx

Zoo). A limited number of researchassistants at the Animal Health Centerare available to outstanding candidates.

Majors: Every student considering amajor in the department must consultthe chair of the department, preferablybefore the end of the freshman year.

Major Requirements for the B.S.Degree: Recognizing the various pro-fessional goals of our students, thedepartment offers groups of courses inseveral areas of study which contributetoward reaching a specific career objec-tive. These areas of study include Pre-Medical-Dental, Pre-ProfessionalResearch, Environmental Biology,Forensic Science, Education, GeneralStudies in Biology, and Pre-PhysicalTherapy.

Students who wish to prepare for pro-fessional or graduate school require 8credits in introductory Biology coursesincluding 111, 112, 113, and 114 and aminimum of 34 credits in upperclassBiology courses including the follow-ing: 217, 223, and 404. Of the remain-ing upperclass Biology courses, onecourse must come from the Structurecategory, two courses must come fromthe Function category, and two coursesmust come from the Integration cate-gory. In the course listings, a (S) follow-ing the name of the course will desig-nate a Structure course, a (F) aFunction course, and an (I) anIntegrated course. Students plan anindividual program of study with theirBiology courses and free electives afterconsultation with an advisor of theBiology Department.

MODERN LANGUAGES(MFL)Professor Rodney Rodriguez,

Chair of the Department

Manhattan College’s ModernLanguages Department is joined withthe Modern Languages Department ofthe College of Mount Saint Vincent.Foundation courses in French, Italianand Spanish are offered on both cam-puses. Upper-level courses alternatebetween campuses. Lower-level coursesin German, Japanese and Arabic areavailable on the Manhattan Collegecampus only. Filipino is offered at theCollege of Mount Saint Vincent.Russian, advanced Japanese, andClassical Languages (Greek and Latin)are offered in cooperation withLehman College at Lehman College’scampus. Students enrolled in thosecourses will follow Lehman College’scatalog and schedule.

Language courses are oriented towardsthe achievement of oral and writtenproficiency. The goals of the depart-ment of Modern Languages are to

develop the ability to understand,speak, read and write in a second lan-guage effectively; to provide betterunderstanding of other cultures andother modes of expression in order tobroaden international understanding;to prepare students for graduate studiesand careers in education, internationalbusiness, communication, government,social services and related fields.

Entering students who continue lan-guage study begun elsewhere areplaced in an appropriate languagecourse on the basis of their academicrecord, number of years of languagestudy, and intended major.

In addition, Foreign Language majorsare encouraged to combine languagestudies with other disciplines, resultingin double majors.

Requirements for a Major inSpanish: Thirty credits. If a studentplaces into the 200 level or higher, thentwenty-four credits are required. Nomore than 6 credits at the 200 level or6 AP credits may be applied to themajor. Spanish 350 and 351(Masterworks I and II) are required ofall majors and are a prerequisite for all400-level courses. Of the remainingelectives, 9 credits must be at the 400level. A major’s program should becarefully planned in consultation with afaculty advisor to assure oral and writ-ing competence in Spanish. Studyabroad is strongly encouraged.

Requirements for a Major inFrench: Thirty Credits. If a studentplaces into the 200 level or higher, thentwenty-four credits are required. Nomore than 6 credits at the 200 level or6 AP credits may be applied to the



major. French 350 (Introduction toFrench Literary Study) is required.Theremaining credits may be chosen fromthe 300 or 400 levels. A major’s pro-gram of study should be carefullyplanned with an academic advisor toassure oral and writing competence inFrench. Study abroad is stronglyencouraged.

A typical four-year program for a lan-guage major would be as follows:
