university of the pacific

University of the Pacific was established by

pioneer Methodist ministers in 1851 as

California’s first chartered institution of higher

learning. Pacific has earned widespread

recognition for its student-centered approach to

education, its many firsts and innovations and

the accomplishments of its 55,000 living

alumni.

As an innovator and leader in higher education,

Pacific provided the West Coast with its first

medical school in 1858 (which later became

part of Stanford, and today is California Pacific

Medical Center), its first coeducational campus

in 1871, and its first conservatory of music in

1878. In the 1960s, Pacific was the first

university in the nation to offer “cluster

colleges.” It was the nation’s first to offer an

undergraduate teacher corps program, the first

to send an entire class to an overseas campus,

the first to offer a four-year guarantee, and the

first to establish a Spanish-speaking inter-

American college. With its move from San Jose

to Stockton in 1924, Pacific became the first

private four-year university in the Central Valley.

Shortly after occupying the new campus, Pacific

established one of California’s earliest schools of

education. It was renamed the Gladys L. Benerd

School of Education in 1992 in honor of the

alumna’s endowed gift.

Pacific has enjoyed extraordinary stability in

administration. Dr. Pamela A. Eibeck began her

service in 2009 as only the sixth President since

the University’s move to Stockton in 1924 and

the 24th since its founding in 1851.

The University experienced its greatest growth

and an expansion into graduate and

professional education under the administration

of Dr. Robert Burns (1947–1971). The School of

Pharmacy opened in 1955. It is now the

Thomas J. Long School of Pharmacy and Health

Sciences, in honor of the benefactor and

University Regent who, with his brother Joseph

Long, founded Longs Drugs Stores. In 1956 the

graduate school was created, and in 1957 the

School of Engineering was established.

Computer Science joined the school in 2002,

and it was renamed the School of Engineering

and Computer Science. In 1962, the College of

Physicians and Surgeons, a school of dentistry

founded in San Francisco in 1896, was acquired

by the University and became the San Francisco

campus. In 2004, the school was named the

Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry in honor

of its dean of 28 years. It was the first time any

university in the United States or Canada had

named its dental school for the current dean.

A new concept in higher education in the United

States found expression in the establishment of

cluster colleges in the 1960s. These colleges

adapted the Oxford and Cambridge model to an

American setting, integrating faculty and

students into living and learning communities.

Raymond College, was established in 1962.

Elbert Covell College established in 1963 was the

first bilingual-bicultural college in the country.

Callison College, was established in 1967 and

focused on non-Western studies with a year of

study in an Asian culture. The cluster colleges

were absorbed into the rest of the University in

1982. Their emphasis on global education

continued in a new School of International

Studies established in 1987 with a gift from

George and Isabel Wilson. It was the first

university-based undergraduate school of

international studies in California. The learning

community concept of the cluster colleges was

strengthened in College of the Pacific, the

liberal arts and sciences core of the University,

recognized for preparing responsible citizen

leaders who will contribute in lasting ways to

careers and communities.

The expansion of graduate and professional

education continued when McGeorge College of

Law, an independent law school founded in

Sacramento in 1924, merged with the University

in 1966 as McGeorge School of Law. The

department of business administration in

College of the Pacific was reorganized in 1977

as the School of Business and Public

Administration. It was renamed Eberhardt

School of Business in 1995 in honor of the

Eberhardt family’s endowed gifts. In 1985,

programs designed specifically for adult “re-

entry” students were reorganized and revitalized

through University College, now the Center for

Professional and Continuing Education.

During the administration of President Don

DeRosa (1995-2009) a new era of expansion

and innovation began. Accelerated programs

were initiated enabling students to complete

undergraduate studies in combination with

professional degrees in pharmacy, law, dentistry

and business in one to three fewer years than

required at most other universities. Pacific

completed or launched more than $40,000,000

in new construction and facilities

improvements, including a 200-person residence

hall, the first in more than two decades, an Art

and Geosciences Center, a science laboratory

building and the $21-million Health Sciences

Learning Center and Clinics.

Since then, the University has added a second

new residence hall, greatly expanded its student

fitness center and completed a new Humanities

Center. It has also completed an addition and

renovation of the library, a Biological Sciences

Center, and the Janssen Lagorio Gymnasium.

The Don and Karen DeRosa University Center

and the John T. Chambers Engineering

Technology Center are both LEED certified, part

of the University’s commitment to sustainability.

The new Alex and Jeri Vereschagin Alumni

House will open in 2011. The law school in

Sacramento is planning to add new housing

and conduct a major renovation of its library.

The dental school in San Francisco has state of-

the-art facilities.

In 1999 jazz legend Dave Brubeck and his wife

Iola, both Pacific graduates, announced that

their papers, recordings and memorabilia

would be deposited at Pacific for study and

research. In response to this gift, a treasure of

historic American music and memorabilia,

President DeRosa announced formation of The

Brubeck Institute for the study, promotion and

performance of American music.

Pacific’s progress and leadership in higher

education have earned national recognition.

The University has been listed as a “Best Value”

(Top 50) every year since 2000 and is

consistently ranked among the top 100 national

universities in the country. The Stockton

campus was ranked by College Admission Essay

as the fifth most beautiful campus in the

nation. The three professional schools of

dentistry, law and pharmacy have all achieved

national prominence.

The University of the Pacific’s mission is to provide a superior, student-centered learning

experience integrating liberal arts and professional education and preparing individuals for

lasting achievement and responsible leadership in their careers and communities.

UNIVERSITY OF THE PACIFIC

university of the pacific

The University’s last comprehensive campaign,

“Investing in Excellence,” closed in 2007,

raising over $330 million and exceeding its

$200-million goal by 2006, a year early.

Starting in 2007, President DeRosa launched a

new emphasis on “whole person” education by

introducing a University wide program for

leadership development based on social and

emotional competencies and established the

Powell Scholars Program, the University’s

premier scholarship program for undergraduate

student leaders. He also supported the

development of a Global Program for

Professional Development to deliver distinctive

professional and graduate programs abroad,

established the Center for Social

Entrepreneurship, initiated a unique Inter-

American Program, began an accelerated pre-

law honors program, launched an

environmental sustainability initiative, and

strengthened programs in undergraduate

writing across the disciplines and undergraduate

research.

The University is guided by its strategic plan,

Pacific Rising, 2008–2015, adopted by the

Board of Regents in April 2007. The plan

presents the core values, aspirations,

commitments and strategic directions for

Pacific. The six commitments are: innovation;

distinctive programs of high quality and

sustainability; collaborative, multidisciplinary

programs; whole student learning; improving

strategic partnerships; resource growth and

management. The complete plan can be viewed

at www.Pacific.edu/IPC.

Dr. Pamela A. Eibeck became President of

University of the Pacific on July 1, 2009. Dr.

Eibeck dedicated her first year as President to a

listening campaign to hear from the local and

University community and launched a major

community engagement initiative based on a

series of forums “Beyond Our Gates, Into the

Community.” In addition to community

engagement, she is committed to building the

University’s national visibility and to enhancing

educational quality.

Introduction

The University of the Pacific is committed to educating students by offering baccalaureate and post-

baccalaureate degrees in the liberal arts and sciences and in professional education. Through studies

devoted to comprehensive learning, specialized study, scholarly and creative activity and lifelong

educational development, the University strives to provide a total educational environment for

students – one that encourages maximum academic, personal and social development in an

intellectual community of students, faculty and staff.

An undergraduate’s formal education at Pacific consists of three parts:

1) the major program or area of specialization,

2) the General Education Program, which consists of the Pacific Seminars and the Breadth Program,

and

3) elective courses through which a student may pursue a variety of individual interests.

The departmental majors and professional degree programs are designed to give students either

extended experience in an academic discipline or preparation for specific careers. The General

Education Program is designed to provide undergraduate students with common intellectual

experiences and breadth of knowledge regardless of their areas of specialization. These goals are

engendered through exposure to different ways of organizing knowledge and the development of

competencies such as writing, critical and quantitative reasoning, retrieval of information, oral

communication, understanding diversity, and working in groups. The University assumes that its

graduates will move into a changing world that will require of them the capacity to add to and to

adapt their existing knowledge and professional skills; the General Education Program is a major

factor in providing Pacific’s students with the basis for lifelong learning. The diversity of educational

programs and the organizational structure of the University allow students a broad choice in the

selection of elective courses beyond those required for their major programs and for general

education. Students are encouraged to participate in service learning and in work-based learning

such as internships.

The University’s main campus in Stockton combines many of the advantages of a larger university

with those of a small liberal arts college. A variety of programs in the arts and sciences plus a number

of professional schools provide students with a wide range of choices in selecting their majors and in

pursuing other educational interests. Active graduate programs in a variety of disciplines contribute

an additional dimension of academic richness for the undergraduate student.

Although about two-thirds of Pacific’s students are from California, the Stockton campus student

body of approximately 5,139 is large enough to include a cosmopolitan mixture of students from

throughout the United States and from many foreign countries. At the same time, the relatively small

size of the student body and the fact that nearly 70% of the students live on, or within a block or so of

the campus, creates the atmosphere of a small residential campus in which most students quickly

begin to feel at home. Small classes, a faculty deeply committed to undergraduate teaching, and a

wide variety of extracurricular organizations and activities further aid students in becoming an

integral part of the University community both academically and socially.

UNIVERSITY OF THE PACIFIC

learning objectives

Pacific Learning Objectives

Pacific’s approach to teaching gives attention

to the whole-person and emphasizes

experiential and active forms of learning. The

following are Pacific’s university-wide

learning objectives adopted in 2009 and

subject to review and revision through

institutional assessment:

• Major Field Competence

• Critical and Creative Thinking

• Communication

• Collaboration and Leadership

• Intercultural and Global Perspectives

• Ethical Reasoning

• Sustainability

The primary purpose of the objectives is to

support teaching and learning at all three

campuses of the University. These objectives and

accompanying outcomes give specific meaning

to the educational goals stated in the

University’s Mission and strategic plans.

Pacific’s commitment to a common set of

learning objectives will:

• Give students, faculty, administration and

staff a clear and concise understanding of the

essential learning goals of a Pacific

education;

• Create a more coherent educational

experience for students as schools and

divisions align with these objectives;

• Enable Pacific to assess outcomes at the

university-level in order to continuously

improve teaching and learning.

It is the responsibility of each School and

Division to assess how these objectives are being

addressed in their programs. Schools and

Divisions are likely to have additional learning

goals beyond the university-wide objectives

stated here. At the undergraduate level, it is

important to recognize that programs and

experiences outside of the School or specific

program (such as the General Education

program and Student Life programming) will

address many of the objectives. Each objective is

supported by a set of outcome statements as

At the center of the broad range of educational

opportunities open to students on the Stockton

campus is the College of the Pacific, the core

division of arts and sciences. Some 1,400

students are pursuing at least one of the more

than 50 major and minor programs offered by

the College, and most students in the

professional schools also take varying amounts

of work within the college of arts and sciences.

College of the Pacific offers majors in most of

the traditional areas of the physical and life

sciences, the humanities and arts and the social

and behavioral sciences, as well as a number of

inter-disciplinary programs which cut across

traditional fields of knowledge.

Conservatory of Music

Students in the Conservatory of Music may

choose among majors in composition,

performance, music education, music history,

music therapy and music management. In

addition to these programs currently pursued by

200 students, the Conservatory provides the

opportunity for students throughout the

University to develop or refine musical skills

through courses in applied music.

Eberhardt School of Business

Students in the Eberhardt School of Business are

educated for management positions in business,

government and not-for-profit organizations.

Approximately 600 students are enrolled in the

School’s undergraduate and Eberhardt MBA

programs in business administration.

and a number of other students take work in the

COURSE CATALOG 2011-2012

academic units/general education

Pacific Seminar 3 must be taken in the senior

year, which means students must have

completed 92 or more units to take the course.

Transfer and Post Baccalaureate students must

complete Pacific Seminar 3.

The Breadth Program

In addition to the Pacific Seminars, students

must complete between six to nine courses in

the breadth program. Students should check

with their school or college dean’s office for

specific breadth program requirements. With the

guidance of their advisor, students select courses

from the categories below:

I. Social and Behavioral Sciences

A. Individual and Interpersonal Behavior

B. U.S. Studies

C. Global Studies

II. Arts and Humanities

A. Language and Literature

B. Worldviews and Ethics

C. Visual and Performing Arts

III. Natural Sciences and Mathematics

A. Natural Sciences

B. Mathematics and Formal Logic

C. Science, Technology and Society

Students can take a maximum of two courses

from a single department (as defined by subject

code, e.g., HIST or ENGL or MPER) to satisfy the

breadth requirement; however, there is an

exception for area IIC since students may take

three 1-unit courses in the same discipline of

applied music or dance to meet the

requirement. All bachelor’s and first

professional degree students on the Stockton

campus must complete a minimum of two

courses in each category. All students must

complete a course in categories IIIA and IIIB. In

subcategory IIC, students may take courses in

applied music or dance. Independent study

courses cannot be used to satisfy general

education requirements.

Fundamental Skills

The University evaluates students to identify

those with deficiencies in reading, written

expression and quantitative skills. These

students are required to take courses designed to

improve their understanding and performance

in these areas. The reading, writing and

quantitative skills requirements are part of the

University-wide general education program that

must be met before a student graduates with a

bachelor’s degree or a first professional degree.

Elective Courses

Students in most academic programs at the

University find that in addition to the courses

required for their major and for general

School in preparation for a teaching credential

while pursuing a major in one of the other

schools or colleges on campus.

School of Engineering and Computer Science

The School of Engineering and Computer

Science, with some 600 students, offers eight

baccalaureate programs: Bioengineering, civil,

computer, electrical, and mechanical

engineering; engineering physics, engineering

management, and computer science. All

engineering degree programs combine

academic and practical training with the

engineering curricula requiring a minimum of

seven months of paid engineering related work

experience. The school also offers a master of

science in engineering science with

concentrations in civil engineering,

computer/electrical engineering/computer

science and mechanical engineering.

School of International Studies

The School of International Studies is a

professional school devoted to the

interdisciplinary study of international affairs,

offering students five undergraduate majors and

a master’s of intercultural relations. Study

abroad and competency in at least one second

language are central to the undergraduate

curriculum. Students benefit from the school’s

internationally recognized cross-cultural

training program. Graduates pursue a wide

range of careers including positions in non-

governmental organizations, business, the

government, and academe.

Thomas J. Long School of Pharmacy and

Health Sciences

The School of Pharmacy and Health Sciences

offers the Doctor of Pharmacy degree. Some

1,025 students are enrolled in the School,

including about 350 undergraduates pursuing

pre-pharmacy studies in preparation for

beginning the professional program. The

Department of Speech-Language Pathology is

housed in the School as well as the graduate

program in Physical Therapy.

Graduate Programs

The University’s post-baccalaureate division, the

Graduate School, offers study in teacher

credential programs, master’s degrees in 13

disciplines, and doctorates in education,

pharmaceutical and chemical sciences and

physical therapy. Students who hold a

baccalaureate degree from an accredited college

or university with a qualifying grade point

average and appropriate graduate-level entrance

examination results, may pursue Graduate

School programs. These include California

teaching credentials, the degrees of Education

Specialist, Master of Arts or Science, Master of

Business Administration, Master of Music,

Master of Education, Master of Science in

Engineering Science, Doctor of Education, or

the Doctor of Philosophy. Dual professional-

graduate degree programs exist for the MBA/JD

and PharmD/MS. PharmD/PhD Chemistry

graduate programs are included in the

Pharmaceutical Sciences Graduate Program.

McGeorge School of Law and A. Dugoni

School of Dentistry

In addition to these schools and colleges on the

Stockton campus, the University includes the

McGeorge School of Law, located in Sacramento,

and the Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry in

San Francisco. Some 1,100 students are enrolled

at McGeorge in both full -time and part-time

programs, while the dental school has an

enrollment of about 470 students.

General Education

All accredited universities require that students

complete not only a major but also a program

of general education to broaden their education.

At Pacific, the general education program

exposes students to areas of study outside of

their major, and it develops essential knowledge

and skills that are transferable to students’ other

courses at Pacific as well as to their personal

and public lives. It is thus the liberal arts

foundation of a Pacific undergraduate

education.

The general education program has three main

components: the Pacific seminars, the breadth

program, and fundamental skills. Refer to the

general education section for additional

information.

The Pacific Seminars

All students who enter the University as

freshmen must complete the three Pacific

Seminars. Freshmen are required to take Pacific

Seminars 1 and 2 in their first year, and Pacific

Seminar 3 in their senior year. Students who

enter Pacific having completed 28 or more units

of transferable, classroom college work that

appear on a college transcript are exempt from

taking Pacific Seminars 1 and 2 but must

complete Pacific Seminar 3. Freshman students

admitted to the honors program are required to

complete Pacific Seminars 1 and 2 regardless of

the number of college units completed.

Students are not allowed to drop Pacific

Seminar 1 or 2 for any reason, even if they plan

to transfer to another college or university.

Freshmen entering in the spring semester begin

the Pacific Seminar 1-2 sequence the following

fall. Students who would benefit from special

attention to reading and writing skills are

deferred from the Pacific Seminar sequence

until their sophomore year.

UNIVERSITY OF THE PACIFIC

admission

education they have space in their schedules for

a number of elective courses. The diversity of

academic fields and specialties represented on

the Stockton campus provides the student with a

wide choice in the selection of electives. The

University’s policy is to allow students in any

program to take courses in any other school or

college on campus, Some students use this

freedom primarily to explore unfamiliar

academic areas, some to pursue a variety of

secondary intellectual interests, and some to

develop another area of emphasis as an

academic minor or even a formal second major.

Accelerated Programs

The University offers joint-degree programs

between liberal studies, graduate and

professional programs which result in

accelerated learning. Requirements include

varying degrees of demands on the student to

take certain courses and maintain grade point

averages. This educational linking is offered

through the School of Engineering and

Computer Science with a blended BS/MSES

program, the School of Pharmacy and Health

Sciences offers a Pre-Pharmacy Advantage

Program, the School of Dentistry offers a Pre-

Dental/DDS. accelerated program, and the

McGeorge School of Law offers a Bachelor’s/JD

or a Four-Year JD/MBA. Details on these

programs can be found in each school’s section

later in this publication. Graduate program

details can be found in the Graduate Catalog

Admission Requirements

University of the Pacific seeks applications from

students who have shown by past achievement

that they have attained a high level of

Admission of Freshman

Students

Regular Admission

Freshman applicants are those who are either

applying while seniors in high school or those

who have not taken any college courses since

earning their high school diploma or its

equivalent. Verification of graduation from an

accredited secondary school is required prior to

the beginning of the first term of attendance.

Exceptions may be made for those who have

passed either the General Education

Development (GED) Test or the High School

Proficiency Exam.

Special emphasis is placed on the coursework

selected, the grades achieved in those courses,

and the cumulative grade point average.

Supporting recommendation from a school

counselor or teacher is also important. In

addition, the Admission Committee reviews the

results of either the SAT or the ACT.

The essay submitted with the University of the

Pacific Application is carefully read, and the

committee looks at co-curricular activities.

Applicants are selected for admission only after

a careful review of the entire application file.

A Completed Application Includes:

1) Form and Fee: www.pacific.edu/apply

Option I: On-line application. The

application must be filled out and submitted

by the applicant. The normal application fee

is waived (it’s free to apply)

Option II: Paper application. The form must

be completed, dated and signed by the

applicant. The normal application fee is

waived (it’s free to apply)

2) Essay: A 500 word essay is required. Please

include your name and birth date on each

page if submitting a paper application.

3) Recommendation:

www.pacific.edu/recommendation. One

academic recommendation from an academic

teacher, counselor or advisor is required.

Those recommending an applicant may use

the online form at

www.pacific.edu/recommendation or send a

written recommendation on official

letterhead.

4) Transcripts: An official, sealed copy of

transcripts for all high school and/or college

coursework including courses offered by

extension or correspondence, is required.

Failure to acknowledge and submit all

records is grounds to deny or revoke

admission, or for dismissal from the

University or revocation of degrees earned.

Applicants must also submit transcripts for

any college work taken while still in high

school. Transfer applicants do not need to

have high school transcripts sent, unless

requested. Final official transcripts must be

submitted prior to the first day of classes, and

must show satisfactory work or the University

has the right to revoke the offer of admission.

5) Test Score Policies for Applicants to the Fall

2011 or Spring 2012 semesters

• Freshman applicants must submit scores

from the SAT and/or ACT. Transfer applicants

are not required to submit these test scores.

• If the applicant has taken the SAT or ACT

multiple times, Pacific will accept the highest

combination of sub scores from all SAT

attempts and highest combination of all sub

scores from all ACT attempts.

• Pacific requires that the SAT or ACT scores be

sent electronically from the College Board

(SAT) web site, www.collegeboard.com or the

ACT web site, www.act.org.

• Scores received in January from the

December SAT or ACT tests are the last scores

that will be used for admission or scholarship

consideration for fall applicants. Students for

whom later tests are the first and only test

taken are exempt from this policy.

Special Admission Requirements

• Music Applicants: www.pacific.edu/music In

addition to academic requirements, those

applying for admission to the Conservatory of

Music must present evidence of music talent

and achievement by performing an audition

on the principal performing medium. Those

planning to major in composition must also

submit an original composition. Auditions

are held at the Conservatory at regular

intervals throughout the academic year.

www.pacific.edu/cop All college transfer

students applying for degrees in the Art

Department must contact that office to find

out more information about the portfolio

required for admission consideration.

Students may call the Art Department at

(209) 946-2241.

Recommended High School Preparation

Although University of the Pacific does not

require a fixed pattern of secondary school

courses, applicants are expected to complete a

solid college preparatory program. Generally

speaking, preparatory courses are those in the

fields of English, social sciences, foreign

languages, laboratory sciences and

mathematics.

It is strongly recommended that the following

be included in the secondary school program:

four years of English; three years of

mathematics including algebra I, II and

geometry; at least two years of laboratory science

in at least two disciplines (biology, chemistry,

Earth science or physics); at least two years of

the same foreign language; three years of social

science; one year of fine or performing arts; and

additional academic courses – all aimed at

improving analytical abilities, promoting artistic

development and strengthening written and oral

skills.

Students interested in economics or business

administration should take advanced

mathematics in high school. Students interested

in mathematics, science, engineering, dentistry

or pharmacy should include biology, chemistry

and physics as well as advanced mathematics in

their secondary school program. (See chart for

recommended course of study.)

majors: algebra, geometry, algebra II.

** Biology, chemistry and physics are recommended for

all students pursuing science and technical disciplines.

*** Academic elective courses should be in advanced for-

eign languages, mathematics, laboratory sciences or

other solid preparatory courses.

Since the senior year in high school is perhaps

the most important in preparing for college, a

minimum program of four academic courses

per semester is particularly recommended for

that year.

Students are also encouraged to take honors

and advanced placement courses whenever

possible. In reviewing applications, the Office of

Admission gives favorable consideration, not

only to the overall strength of the academic

program, but to the fact that honors and

advanced placement courses have been taken.

Advanced Placement, International

Baccalaureate and College Credits Earned

While In High School

Please see www.pacific.edu/advancedcredit for

the latest policies regarding granting of advance

credit. College credit (four units per

examination) may be granted to students who

achieve scores of a four and five on Advanced

Placement examinations and/or scores of five

through seven on International Baccalaureate

exams taken at the higher level. A maximum of

28 units total from Advanced Placement,

International Baccalaureate, DANTES and/or

CLEP test results may be applied toward a

Pacific degree including General Education and

major requirements.

In addition, students who have taken college

courses prior to high school graduation will

receive credit toward University of the Pacific

graduation, as long as the credit is transferable,

is earned at an accredited college and is

awarded college credit on a transcript generated

by that college. The purpose is to recognize

advanced work of quality already accomplished

by certain students, to preclude duplication of

courses, and to provide increased opportunity for

exceptional students to take elective work in

their undergraduate programs. (See also the

CLEP information below.)

College-Level Examination Program (CLEP)

College credit may be granted, within certain

limitations, for the General and Subject

Examinations offered through the College-Level

Examination Program (CLEP) of the College

Board when satisfactory scores have been

earned. This program may be utilized by

entering freshmen who take the tests prior to

matriculation for the purpose of earning

advanced standing credit, by regularly enrolled

students for accelerating their programs or

demonstrating competency in certain subjects,

or by candidates for transfer who desire

advanced credit or present the tests in support of

applications for admission. Further details can

be obtained from the Office of Admission.

A total of no more than 20 units may be applied

toward a degree from any or all of the following:

courses taken in accredited correspondence

schools, extension correspondence schools,

extension courses, and/or courses taken credit

by examination. None of these credits, except

extension courses taken at the University, will be

accepted during the term in which the student is

completing requirements for graduation in this

University.

A total of no more than 28 units may be applied

towards a degree from Advanced Placement

(AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), DANTES

and/or CLEP tests.

Admission of Undergraduate

Transfers

www.pacific.edu/transfer

To be considered for admission, transfer

applicants must:

• Be in good academic standing at the college

in which they are currently enrolled

• Have a satisfactory record (recommended

minimum 2.80 GPA in all coursework)

• Provide a supporting recommendation from

the most recent college or university

A Completed Application

Please refer to the information under this

heading in the Freshman Admission section

above. Letter of recommendation is optional.

Transferable Courses and Unit Limitations

• In interpreting transfer credit, University of

the Pacific generally accepts those courses

which are of the same quality and

equivalency as courses offered on this

campus.

• Courses taught at a community college are

not acceptable to replace upper division

courses at Pacific.

• The maximum number of units that will be

accepted from a community college is 70 and

no community college credit will be accepted

after a student has completed 70 units from

all institutions attended. Courses are accepted

in chronological order.

• A course with a grade of C- or below will not

transfer to Pacific. No units will be awarded

for that course and does not fulfill any

requirements towards a degree.

• If a student repeats a course in which a C- or

below was earned, the most recent grade will

be used and a new GPA for the course will be

calculated for the transfer admission grade

point average only. Note: Only course

content and credit are accepted in

transfer; the associated grades do not

become a part of the Pacific record.

• If a student repeats a course in which a C or

higher is earned, the second attempt will not

be calculated in the GPA. No units will be

awarded for the repeated course.

Special Admission

Certain transfer applicants, such as veterans, or

adult re-entry students and others with special

circumstances, will be given special

consideration for admission when it is

determined that they have the potential for

satisfactory college work.

Accelerated Programs

Pre-Pharmacy Advantage Programs

www.pacific.edu/prepharm

Pacific offers three options which provide for

guaranteed admission into our Professional

Pharmacy (PharmD) Program, if all pre-

pharmacy advantage requirements, including

courses taken in sequence at Pacific and

minimum GPAs, are met and the formal

pharmacy interview (which includes a writing

sample) is passed. The current university

minimum GPA requirement needed as one part

of advancing from any of these Pre-Pharmacy

Advantage Programs into our Professional

Pharmacy Program is 3.00 overall and 2.70 in

selected math/science courses.

The implementation of specific admission

criteria for the Pre-Pharmacy Advantage

Program are meant to ensure that students have

the appropriate time to successfully prepare for

advancement into the Professional Pharmacy

Program.

The following minimum criteria for

consideration are valid for students entering in

the Fall semester 2007. University of the Pacific

reserves the right to change criteria for freshmen

entering in subsequent years.

Five-Year (2+3) Pre-Pharmacy/PharmD

Option

Freshmen are admitted directly into the Pre-

Pharmacy Program in the School of Pharmacy

and Health Sciences. After two years, they

advance into the PharmD Program if they have

fulfilled all pre-pharmacy advantage

requirements. Minimum Criteria for

consideration: High school GPA of 3.75 (on a

4.0 scale) and either a combined SAT Reading

and Math score of 1350 (with at least a 550 in

both Reading and Math), or an ACT composite

of 30.

Six-Year (3+3) Pre-Pharmacy/PharmD

Option

Freshmen are admitted directly into the Pre-

Pharmacy Program in the School of Pharmacy

and Health Sciences. After three years, they

advance into the PharmD Program if they have

fulfilled all pre-pharmacy advantage

requirements. Minimum Criteria for

consideration: High school GPA of 3.65 (on a

4.0 scale) and either a combined SAT Reading

and Math score of 1270 (with at least a 550 in

both Reading and Math), or an ACT composite

of 28.

Seven-Year (4+3) Bachelor’s/PharmD

Option

These pre-pharmacy applicants will be admitted

to any major at Pacific and pursue a Bachelor’s

degree, while also completing the pre-requisites

for the Doctor of Pharmacy Program. If they

complete their Bachelor’s degree in four years

(but no more than five years) they will be

eligible to advance into the PharmD Program if

they have fulfilled all of the same pre-pharmacy

advantage requirements. This option will ensure

that these students are on track from the

beginning of their college careers to earn, at

least, a Bachelor’s degree. Minimum criteria for

consideration: High School GPA of 3.20 (on a 4.0

scale) and either a combined SAT Reading and

Math score of 1200 (with at least a 550 in both

Reading and Math), or an ACT composite of 22.

* Please note: There is no formal Pre-Pharmacy Advan-

tage available to a student who attends another institu-

tion for a semester or a year or two and then transfers as

a science major into Pacific’s arts and sciences division.

We have excellent undergraduate programs to which

transfers are welcome to apply, but once here, these stu-

dents will compete with those applying from other institu-

tions for space in the PharmD Program.

Accelerated Dental Programs

www.pacific.edu/predent

Pacific offers three accelerated dental programs

to first-time freshmen which combine

undergraduate preparation with the only three-

year DDS program in the country. Students

admitted to any of these programs will be

admitted to Pacific’s Arthur A. Dugoni School of

Dentistry if they meet the requirements outlined

in their pre-dental program acceptance letter. A

guaranteed interview option for in-school or

transfer students also exists. Students will

complete their pre-dental courses at Pacific’s

main campus in Stockton and their professional

courses at Pacific’s Arthur A. Dugoni School of

Dentistry in San Francisco.

Any freshman applicant who selects “pre-

dental” from the list of majors on their

application for undergraduate admission will

automatically be considered for all three

programs. Please note that students admitted to

the 2+3 program are also automatically

admitted into the 3+3 and the 4+3 programs,

and those students admitted to the 3+3 program

are also admitted to the 4+3 program. It is also

important to note that the 2+3 and 3+3

programs do not “accelerate” four years worth

of undergraduate study into two or three years.

Students in these two programs are taking the

same course load as most students on campus,

they are simply taking only those specific

courses which will meet the requirements to

advance to the Arthur A. Dugoni School of

Dentistry after two or three years.

The following minimum criteria for

consideration are valid for students entering in

the Fall semester 2007. Pacific reserves the right

to change criteria for students entering in

subsequent years.

Five-Year (2+3) Pre-Dental/Doctor of

Dental Surgery (DDS)

Program allows completion of two years (four

regular semesters) of specific pre-dental and

general education courses on Pacific’s Stockton

campus. This is then followed by three years

(eight semesters in 36 months) at the Arthur A.

Dugoni School of Dentistry in San Francisco.

Upon successful completion of the five-year

program, the student will earn a DDS degree.

Minimum Criteria: High school GPA of 3.75 (on

4.0 scale) and either an ACT composite score of

31 or a combined SAT Reading and Math score

of 1350 (with a minimum Reading score of

630). Only students who are coming to Pacific

as first-time freshmen are eligible for this

program at the time of admission.

UNIVERSITY OF THE PACIFIC

admission

Six-Year (3+3) Bachelor’s/DDS

Program allows for completion of all pre-dental

and general education requirements, and the

courses for a major in either Biological Sciences

or Chemistry in three years (six regular

semesters). The credit from the first year of

dental school can then be used to earn a

bachelor’s degree, and the DDS degree is earned

upon completion of the third year of dental

school. The minimum GPA and test score

requirements for admission into the 3+3

Program are a high school GPA of 3.65 (on a

4.0 scale) and either an ACT composite score of

29 or a combined SAT Reading and Math score

of 1270 (with a minimum Reading score of

600). Only students who are coming to Pacific

as first-time freshmen are eligible for either of

these options at the time of admission.

Seven-Year (4+3) Bachelor’s/DDS

Program allows students to major in almost any

discipline, while completing all pre-dental and

general education requirements, prior to

entering the DDS program. Minimum Criteria:

High school GPA of 3.55 (on 4.0 scale) and

either an ACT composite score of 27 or a

combined SAT Reading and Math score of 1210

(with a minimum Reading score of 600). Only

students who are coming to Pacific as first-time

freshmen are eligible for this program at the

time of admission.

Guaranteed DDS Interview Option for

In-School or Transfer Students:

In addition to the above programs, any current

full-time student (12 units minimum per

semester) who completes at least 48 units at

Pacific, including significant coursework in the

sciences which count toward a science major,

will be guaranteed an interview at University of

the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry,

if they meet the standards (including college

GPA and DAT scores) required of someone in the

4+3 program.

Please note: The Office of Admission does not admit stu-

dents to this program. Any student interested in this op-

tion should begin working directly with a pre-dental

faculty advisor as soon as they enroll or as soon as they

know they are interested in pursuing this option.

Financial Responsibility

Registration, when accepted by the University of

the Pacific, constitutes a financial agreement

between the student and the University.

Registration is considered complete when the

bill has been settled. Tuition, fees and other

charges the student incurs including but not

limited to, housing, meal plans, and bookstore

charges shall be added to the student account

and are considered a loan for an educational

benefit.

In order to receive a bill that includes tuition

and fees prior to the payment deadline, you

must early register for courses. Please note that

students with delinquent accounts will not be

permitted to register. It is the students’

responsibility to pay by the deadline, regardless

of receiving a statement. Students can obtain

their current account balance by logging into

insidePacific. The University sends billing

statements via electronic billing. Students will

receive a monthly email notifying them that

their statement is ready for viewing. This

statement notification email will also be sent to

any Authorized Users that the student

establishes. Authorized Users will not have

access to any other student information through

this site. The billing statement can be printed

from the computers located in the lobby of the

Finance Center or by a request to the Student

Accounts Office.

All email correspondence will be sent to the

student’s u.pacific.edu email address.

UNIVERSITY OF THE PACIFIC

tuition and fees

A dispute of any charge on your student account

must be submitted in writing within sixty days

from the date of billing. All disputes must be

sent to the Student Accounts Office. If you fail to

comply within the sixty day time period, you

may forfeit your rights to dispute the charge in

the future.

Payment of Bills

Tuition, fees, and room and board, if applicable,

are due in full by the payment deadline. The

payment deadlines are August 1

for the fall

semester and January 1

for the spring semester

for general students. Payment deadline

information for other programs is available

online on the Student Financial Services website

located at www.pacific.edu/finance. Any

outstanding balances from prior semesters must

be paid in full as well as the current semester

payment, by the deadline. Students who have

not yet registered can estimate their payment

amount by utilizing the Calculation Worksheets

available at the Student Financial Services

website. Payments for the intended enrollment

must be made by the deadline, even if the

student has not completed their course

registration. Late fees will be assessed for

payments received after the deadline. Failure to

complete financial obligations can result in the

cancellation of registration.

The University offers two payment options. The

first is payment in full of all charges, less any

applicable financial aid, by the deadline. The

second option is a 4-month payment plan. The

Monthly Plan requires a 25% down payment in

addition to a $75 deferred fee; those utilizing the

monthly payment plan must enroll online

through insidepacific by the payment deadline.

In order for a parent or guardian to enroll in

the monthly payment plan, their student must

officially establish them as an Authorized User.

Subsequent monthly payments are due by the

first of the month.

International students may not utilize the

monthly payment plan. Payment in full is

required by the payment deadline.

It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that all

financial aid is properly credited to his/her

account.

Payments can be made by cash, paper check,

money order, cashiers check, wire transfers, and

electronic checks. Payments must be received by

the deadline; postmarks are not acceptable.

Payments by check or cash can be made in

person at the Cashiers Office, located in the

Finance Center. If making payment by mail,

please send check or money order to the

attention of Student Accounts. Please include

the student’s university identification number or

send a copy of the statement, which can be

downloaded and printed in order to ensure

proper payment application.

Students who have not paid in full, completed

all financial aid requirements and/or enrolled

in the monthly payment plan by the payment

deadline, will be assessed a $150 late payment

fee. In addition, monthly payments are due by

the first of the month. A late fee of $50 will be

assessed for any payments made after the due

date.

Failure to make payments as agreed can result

in the University of the Pacific canceling all

financial arrangements, a student’s registration,

and denying all University services.

Any payment on the student account that is

returned by a financial institution for any

reason may lead to cancellation of registration.

If registration is cancelled for the semester, the

student will not receive credit for those courses.

A returned payment fee of $25 will be assessed

for the first returned payment. Any payment

returned subsequently will be assessed a $35

returned payment fee. After two (2) returned

payments, the University may suspend check

writing privileges and institute collection and/or

legal actions against the payer. The student’s

account will be placed on a financial hold thus

preventing the student from receiving any

services from the University.

The University requires that all accounts be paid

in full by the end of the semester. Any account

that remains delinquent will be transferred to

the Student Loan Department for servicing.

Once the account is transferred, the Student

Account Note or balance is subject but not

limited to, principal, interest, late charges,

collection fees, credit bureau reporting and any

legal fees associated with the collection of the

debt. In accordance with California state law, all

unpaid balances accrue 10% interest, per

annum, on the balance remaining on the date

of transfer. Students are responsible for all fees

associated in the collection of the debt. A student

with a balance due to the University will not be

allowed any benefits from the University

including but not limited to, registration for

courses, copies of transcripts or diplomas, and

utilization of University housing and meals,

until the balance is paid in full. In addition, all

institutional loans or other loans guaranteed by

the Federal Government must be in good

(current) standing and exit interviews

completed prior to the release of diploma or

transcripts.

If payments exceed charges on a student

account, the account is said to have a credit

balance. Credit balances are to be returned to

the student based upon the method of payment.

The student account is not to be used as a

means for cash advances or payments to third

parties. Upon request, credit balances resulting

from cash payments will be refunded to the

student. A credit balance resulting from a check

payment will be refunded after 14 business days.

Credit balances resulting from refundable

student loans and scholarships will also be

refunded upon request. All financial aid must be

disbursed on the student account before a

refund is processed. Refunds are issued on a

weekly basis.

Refund of Tuition and Fees

The following refund schedule pertains only to

tuition charges and is applicable when the

student drops below full time enrollment or

officially withdraws from the University.

Students who intend to withdraw must notify the

Office of the Registrar.

vary from semester to semester. For exact dates,

adjusted according to federal and state

regulations and University policy. The Financial

Aid Office can provide additional information

related to changes in financial aid awards.

Financial Aid

The University maintains a substantial student

financial assistance program that includes

scholarships, grants, loans and job

opportunities. Detailed financial aid

COURSE CATALOG 2011-2012

financial aid

information and application instructions are

available at www.pacific.edu/financialaid.

Students who wish to be considered for

academic merit-based scholarships are advised

to complete the admission application process

by the appropriate deadline or priority date.

Students seeking other University scholarships,

grants, work-study, or loans or whose parents

wish to apply for a Federal PLUS Loan must also

file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid

(FAFSA) and complete other application

procedures as instructed by the Financial Aid

Office. In addition, financial aid applicants who

are legal residents of California and do not

already have a bachelor’s degree are expected to

apply for a Cal Grant. High schools and colleges

have information about the Cal Grant programs

and application procedures.

Students are advised to file the FAFSA

electronically at the Federal Student Aid Web

site. A worksheet and instructions may be

downloaded from the Web site, or may be

secured at a high school or college or from the

University. The priority FAFSA filing date for

entering Pacific students is February 15. Pacific

awards financial aid to students who apply after

the admission and financial aid priority dates;

however, late awards may be less favorable.

A student must be approved for admission as a

regular student to an eligible degree or

certificate program before financial aid can be

awarded. Students must enroll on at least a

half-time basis to qualify for most financial aid

and some awards require full-time enrollment.

Aid is usually awarded for the entire school year,

with the full-year amount divided equally

among the semesters or trimesters of

enrollment. Please note that financial aid

eligibility is re-evaluated when a student

completes pre-professional work and enters a

professional program.

Financial aid at the University is available only

to U.S. citizens, permanent residents and other

eligible non-citizens.

When a financial aid recipient withdraws during

a semester, the student’s financial aid is adjusted

according to federal and state regulations and

University policy. Details are available on the

Financial Aid website under Student Consumer

Information.

Academic Requirements

Federal regulations require the Financial Aid

Office to ensure that financial aid recipients

maintain acceptable academic standing and

make satisfactory progress in their programs of

study.

Students placed on academic probation may

receive financial aid, but students who are

academically disqualified are placed on

financial aid disqualification. Financial aid

recipients are also expected to complete

satisfactorily at least 67% of all units attempted

and to obtain their degrees within a specified

maximum period of full-time study. Access to

financial aid to pay for repeated courses is

limited by federal regulations.

For further information, please refer to the

Academic Probation and Disqualification Policy

Statement in this catalog and the Satisfactory

Academic Progress Policy Statement available

from the Financial Aid Office.

maturity, and potential to contribute his/her

time and energy to the Community Involvement

Program.

eligible for Cal and Pell Grants at the

University of the Pacific.

involvement, volunteerism, and awareness of

Academic Regulations

(Stockton Campus)

All undergraduates are urged to read these

general regulations carefully. Failure to be

familiar with this section does not excuse a

student from the obligation to comply with all

the described regulations.

Although every effort has been made to ensure

the accuracy of this catalog, students are advised

that the information contained in it is subject to

change. They should therefore consult the

Registration Information section of the Office of

the Registrar web page for any term to relate

these regulations to calendar dates. The

University reserves the right to revise its

regulations and programs in accord with sound

academic standards and requirements.

University of the Pacific’s Four-Year

Guarantee

The purpose of the Four Year guarantee is to

facilitate a student’s goal to graduate in four

years with a Bachelors degree through a

contract with Pacific. If Pacific does not meet its

part of the contract, the cost of the additional

course would be paid by the university.

Declare and be admitted to a major by the

beginning of the sophomore year by filing a

Change of Program form. You may change

majors, if at the time you make a change, you

can still meet the requirements of the new

major and graduate within four calendar years.

Remain in good academic standing (2.00 GPA –

major and institutional) at the University.

Complete 32 semester hours of units each year

for four years as required by the college and

major, and meet all degree progress checkpoints.

Meet with your faculty advisor prior to

registration each term to review your course

plan and monitor progress.

assigned early registration appointment. Enroll

in available courses needed for the program of

study; accept any available section that can be

accommodated in your course schedule. Sole

exceptions: Students who are on Study Abroad or

off campus participating in a full-time co-op

may require a few additional days to register.

Make timely annual application for all

necessary financial assistance, to avoid

registration problems.

Apply for graduation by the stated deadline

published in the academic and/or term

calendars.

Monitor your own progress toward degree using

CAPP (electronic degree check audit system)

and ROAR (Roam On Line Articulation Reports)

regarding transfer work to help you stay on

track.

Notify faculty advisor if unable to register for a

required course needed in the major or for

graduation.

*Special exclusions: Five year programs and

students following individualized learning

programs.

If the student meets all the conditions of the

four year plan but is unable to graduate due to

unavailability of a course, the university will

offer one of the following:

Enable the student to graduate in four years by

substituting a different course or an

independent study assignment, as determined by

the department and the college offering the

student’s major.

Allow the unavailability of the course to delay

the student from graduating in four years, in

which case the University will waive Pacific

tuition and mandatory fees in order for the

student to graduate within the next academic

year.

These two adjustments will be Pacific’s sole

remedies for the four year guarantee. The

University is under no obligation to provide one

of these adjustments unless the student submits

a written request for an accommodation to the

Provost prior to beginning of classes in the last

term of the student’s four year plan.

Academic Residence Requirement

The minimum residence requirement for a

bachelor’s degree program requires 32 out of the

last 40 units to be earned in residence at

University of the Pacific. This means once a

student has reached 40 units less than what is

required for his/her degree only 8 more units

may be accepted from a four year accredited

institution. Additional community college or

four year institution courses will satisfy content

requirements only and will not apply to the

minimum units required for the degree.

Example: If 124 units are required for the

degree once a student has reached 84 units only

8 more units can transfer in (from a four year

accredited institution). If 128 units are required

for the degree once a student has reached 88

units only 8 more units can transfer in.

Normally these 32 units must be taken on the

Stockton campus, but study in Pacific-affiliated

programs elsewhere in the United States or

abroad may count toward the residency

requirement if the student has taken at least 32

units on the Stockton campus at the time of

graduation.

The school or college from which the student is

to graduate may stipulate that the units in

residence must include certain specific

requirements in the major program and/or a

certain minimum of units within the school or

department of the major.

Academic Standing

At the end of each semester, an undergraduate

student’s academic standing will be determined

to be one of the following: good standing, good

standing with warning, probation, subject to

disqualification (temporary status) or

disqualification. The criteria for these academic

standings are based upon a combination of the

cumulative Pacific GPA and the term GPA and

vary according to a student’s classification.

Unless admitted on probation, a student is in

good standing during the first semester of

attendance. Students who are subject to

disqualification are reviewed by an appropriate

committee and are either disqualified from

further enrollment at the University or are

allowed to continue for the next semester on

probation. The criteria for the different

academic standings are outlined below:

UNIVERSITY OF THE PACIFIC

academic regulations

Good Standing:

• term GPA of 2.00 or higher and a cumulative

Pacific GPA of 2.00 or higher

Good Standing with Warning:

• term GPA below 2.00 and a cumulative

Pacific GPA of 2.00 or higher.

Probation:

If prior semester is ‘Good Standing’:

• Freshman-Junior: term GPA is below 2.00 and

cumulative Pacific GPA below 2.00

If prior semester is ‘Good Standing with

Warning or ‘Probation’:

• Freshman: term GPA is below 2.00 and

cumulative Pacific GPA between 1.50 and

1.99

• Sophomores: term GPA below 2.00 and

cumulative Pacific GPA between 1.80 and

1.99

• Juniors: term GPA below 2.00 and cumulative

Pacific GPA between 1.95 and 1.99

• All undergraduates: term GPA of 2.00 or

higher and cumulative Pacific GPA below

2.00

Subject to Disqualification (temporary

status):

If prior semester is ‘Good Standing’:

• Seniors: term GPA below 2.00 and cumulative

Pacific GPA below 2.00

If prior semester is ‘Good Standing with

Warning’ or ‘Probation’:

• Freshmen: term GPA below 2.00 and

cumulative Pacific GPA below 1.50

• Sophomores: term GPA below 2.00 and

cumulative Pacific GPA below 1.80

• Juniors: term GPA below 2.00 and cumulative

Pacific GPA below 1.95

• Seniors: term GPA below 2.00 and cumulative

Pacific GPA below 2.00

Disqualified:

Each school determines whether a student

subject to disqualification is disqualified. If not

disqualified, a student subject to disqualification

will be on probation for the following term. If

disqualified, a student will not be allowed to

a regular term while disqualified, but may

attend the “open enrollment” summer sessions.

A student who has been disqualified may appeal

immediately for reconsideration and possible

reinstatement on probation within the same

school or college or in another school or college

of the University. A disqualified student who has

been out of the University for one semester or

more may apply for readmission to the

University through the Admission Office. If

readmitted, such a student would enter on

probation and would need to make up the

earlier deficiency in order to attain good

academic standing.

Acquisition of Graduate Credit as an

Undergraduate

Pacific undergraduates may petition to open a

graduate transcript (i.e., receive credit in

graduate-level courses) if they meet all of the

following conditions.

The undergraduate student must:

• be within 9 required units of completing the

bachelor’s degree

• be in the last semester of the bachelor’s

degree,

• request that their advisor submit the

completed Evaluation of Degree

Requirements form to the Office of the

Registrar prior to the last day to add classes.

(This serves as permission by the

undergraduate advisor for the student to take

graduate-level coursework), and

• be accepted into a graduate or credential

program and receive approval of the

Application to Receive Graduate Credit as an

Undergraduate Student by the Dean of

Research and Graduate Studies before the last

day to add classes of the last semester as an

undergraduate.

The regulations for receiving graduate

credit as an undergraduate are as fol-

lows:

• Graduate credit will only be granted for upper

division (100 level) courses.

• The total number of credits for the semester

cannot exceed the maximum graduate

course load for the department providing the

graduate coursework; this includes

coursework taken at other schools.

• The tuition rate for the entire semester is at

the undergraduate rate.

• Units cannot be retroactively transferred from

an undergraduate to a graduate program.

The approval must be obtained prior to the

last day to add classes of the last semester.

• Coursework will not count for graduate credit

if the student fails to complete the bachelor’s

degree during the semester.

• Graduate courses completed under this

agreement will be recorded by the Registrar

as new “Unclassified” graduate credit; grades

from these courses will not be accounted in

the undergraduate grade point average

(unless the bachelor’s degree is not

completed).

• No more than 12 units (16 units for student

teachers), no matter when they are earned,

can be transferred from an “Unclassified”

transcript into a graduate program.

• Students who do not complete the bachelor’s

degree in the semester when graduate courses

are taken will not be admitted into a

Graduate program and cannot take

additional graduate coursework until the

bachelor’s degree has been awarded.

There is no guarantee that graduate units

earned as an undergraduate will transfer to or

be counted as post-baccalaureate units by other

universities or school districts.

Students are not classified as graduate students

until they have been admitted to a Graduate

program, have registered for courses, and have

completed a term that begins after receiving the

bachelor’s degree.

Auditing a Class

Auditing of a course is an option that allows

exposure to a course with no course credit

awarded. To audit a course, approval must be

granted by both the instructor and the chair of

the department in which the course is offered

via an add/drop form. Auditing is not available

in participation courses such as applied music,

physical education, art courses of an applied

nature, etc. Students auditing a course must pay

an auditing fee. Courses taken through auditing

may not subsequently be converted to a course

credit or grade. The student must indicate at the

time of registration if they wish to audit a

course, and pay the appropriate fee. An audited

course and grade (AU) may not be used to fulfill

or waive any degree requirements.

Cancellation

If you are a newly admitted and confirmed

student and do not wish to attend Pacific for a

semester and instruction has not yet begun, you

must formally request a cancellation of your

registration from the university. To cancel your

registration (prior to the start of the term)

contact the Office of Admission. If you are a

continuing student you are not permitted to

drop your last class via the Pacific portal

insidePacific if after the last day to add classes.

You must visit the Office of the Registrar, located

on the 1st floor of Knoles Hall, if you intend to

withdraw completely. Official withdrawal must

be processed by the Office of the Registrar. The

withdrawal date used by Financial Aid in the

Return of Title IV Aid calculation and the

effective date used by Student Accounts for

COURSE CATALOG 2011-2012

academic regulations

tuition refunds are based on the date of your

notification to the Office of the Registrar.

Catalog Expiration and Requirements Policy

The University of the Pacific catalog lists

requirements for active degrees offered by the

university. Each catalog goes into effect at the

beginning of the fall term the academic year of

issue. It expires at the end of summer session

the seventh academic year after publication for

students maintaining attendance. Advisors and

other university employees are available to help,

but students have final responsibility for

satisfying degree requirements for graduation.

Students are held to program requirements

(general education and major/minor) in effect

at the time of first enrollment. Students who

change their program/major are held to degree

requirements in effect at the time of the change

of program. Students may, using a Change of

Program form, elect to graduate under degree

requirements specified in subsequent catalogs;

under no circumstances will the requirements

from an earlier catalog be applied.

The university requires that any candidate for a

bachelor’s degree who has not completed work

within seven years of continuous attendance to

reapply and be subject to any new requirements

in effect at that time.

Change of Address

All students must notify the Office of the

Registrar immediately of any change in their

addresses or those of their parents or guardians.

The University assumes no responsibility for

materials sent through the mail not received.

Change of Degree Objective

A student who has been admitted to one degree

program and who later desires to change the

objective to another degree or to another college

or school of the University must obtain and

submit an approved Change of Program form

with the Office of the Registrar.

Class Attendance

Students are expected to attend classes regularly.

Specific attendance policies are, however,

determined by individual instructors who will

provide students with a written statement of

such policies at the beginning of the semester.

At the request of a student to the Office of

Student Life, his/her instructors will be notified

of absences due to illness, University related

activities, or other conditions beyond the control

of the student.

Class Standing

Undergraduate students will be designated

freshmen, sophomores, juniors or seniors by the

number of units which have been completed

toward graduation as follows:

1 – 27.99 units designates a freshman.

28 – 55.99 units designates a sophomore.

56 – 91.99 units designates a junior.

92 – up units designates a senior.

Other students are classified as Undergraduate

Unclassified. See the Undergraduate

Unclassified section of this catalog.

Commencement

Commencement exercises to honor students

who have earned baccalaureate and graduate

degrees are held each year in May. Students who

have earned their degrees in the previous Fall

term or in Summer Session are welcome to

participate.

Students who have not completed all their

degree requirements may participate in

commencement if they have accumulated 92

units by the end of the Fall semester prior to

May commencement. Students with deficiencies

who plan to participate in the May

commencement ceremony must apply for

graduation by the April deadline.

Course Loads

Twelve units constitute a minimum full-time

program of studies during a semester for the

regular undergraduate and first professional

level student and is the minimum required for

participation in intercollegiate activities. If a

student registers for fewer than 12 units or drops

below 12 units financial aid may be reduced.

(Students who are less than half-time are not

eligible for financial aid.)

The maximum study load during a semester for

undergraduates without special permission is 18

units and 19 units for first professional level

students. Students who wish to enroll for units

in excess of the maximum study load must

petition their school or college for approval in

advance. Approval is based to a great extent

upon the student’s past academic record and

will result in additional tuition charges. If a

student is approved to take courses concurrently

at another institution, the units at Pacific and

the other institution may not exceed 18 units

during Fall and Spring or 8 units during the

first two Summer Sessions and 4 units during

the third Summer Session.

Minimum and maximum study loads for

graduate students are defined in the Graduate

Catalog.

Course Numbering System

Undergraduate Courses:

Lower Division courses. Courses, numbered 001

– 099, are primarily designed for freshmen and

sophomores.

Upper Division courses. Courses, numbered 100

– 199, are typically open to students who have

met the necessary prerequisites as indicated in

the catalog course description. These courses are

designed primarily for juniors and seniors but

exceptions may be appropriate for qualified

sophomores.

Graduate Courses:

Courses numbered 200 – 399 are primarily

designated for graduate students. 300 and above

are primarily for students admitted to a doctoral

program.

Courses numbered in the 9000 series are used

for specific professional development courses

that are graduate level, non-degree courses in

the Center for Professional and Continuing

Education.

Prerequisites

Prerequisites for courses should be noted

carefully; the responsibility for meeting these

requirements rests on the student. The

instructor, chair or dean’s office may request

that a student who has not completed the

prerequisites be dropped from the course.

General Education courses and Extension

courses (offered by the Center for Professional

and Continuing Education) generally do not

have prerequisites.

Variable Unit Courses

Some course numbers are used to describe

specific types of courses, as follows:

• 087/187/287 – Internship study. Work

experience conducted off campus, under the

supervision of a non-full time Pacific faculty

member.

• 089/189/289 – Practicum. Work experience

conducted on campus, under the direction of

a faculty member.

• 092/192/292 – Cooperative education. Work

experience on a full-time or part-time basis.

The Cooperative Education Program in each

school or college differs in unit allowance.

See the appropriate school for unit specifics

in the general catalog.

• 093/193/293/393 – Special Topics.

Departments may offer, on occasion, special

topic courses. Courses may reflect the current

research of the instructor or the needs and

interests of a group of students. Detailed

descriptions can be obtained from the chair

in which the courses are being offered.

• 191/291/391 – Independent Study

• 195/295/395 – Seminar.

Undergraduate/Graduate/doctoral

• 197/297/397 – Independent Research.

Graduate/Doctoral

• 299 – Master’s Thesis

UNIVERSITY OF THE PACIFIC

academic regulations

• 399 – Doctoral Dissertation

Note: These numbering standards are general standards

and reflect current practice among most units. Some

units may have exceptions to these. Students should check

for these within their majors for individual unit stan-

dards that may differ from these general numbering

standards.

Credit by Examination

An undergraduate student in good standing and

currently enrolled for four or more units may

“challenge” by examination certain courses

offered in the current term by the University.

Departments have the right to designate which

of their courses are appropriate for credit by

examination. This policy is subject to the

following restrictions:

1. A student may challenge a course covering

material in which, because of independent

study since high school graduation, or

because of work at another college or

university which was not accepted for transfer

credit, the student feels prepared. It is the

responsibility of the student to explain how

the material was mastered.

2. A student wishing to challenge a course

should not expect the instructor of the course

to provide assistance beyond an explanation

of the scope of the examination.

3. A student wishing to challenge a course may

not attend the class meetings of the course.

4. A student may not receive credit by

examination in the semester in which the

student intends to receive his or her

baccalaureate degree.

5. A student may not get credit by examination

for a course which the student has already

audited or failed with a grade of F or NC.

6. A student may not get credit by examination

for a course in a structured sequence if the

student has received credit for a higher level

course in the sequence.

7. Credit earned by a challenge examination

may not be used to meet the University

residency requirement.

A student wishing to pursue the credit by

examination option must obtain a Credit by

Examination form from the Office of the

Registrar and pay the scheduled $50.00 service

fee (non-refundable).

Successful completion of the examination will

be recorded on the transcript with a grade of

pass and will be made a part of the student’s

academic record in the term in which the

examination is requested. Students who pass the

exam will be charged an additional $200.00 for

the course credit. Such credit shall not be

considered to generate an overload.

Credit Limitations

Students on the Stockton campus can apply a

combined total of eight units of ACTY 002-049.

General Activity, ACTY 050-099 - Intercollegiate

Sports and THEA 005 in the Theatre Arts

Department toward graduation. Up to 8 units of

activity and intercollegiate sports classes may

count toward the COP breadth requirement.

A total of no more than 20 units may be applied

toward a degree from any or all of the following:

courses taken in accredited correspondence

schools, extension correspondence schools,

extension courses, and/or courses taken credit

by examination. None of these credits, except

extension courses taken at the University, will be

accepted during the term in which the student is

completing requirements for graduation in this

University.

A total of no more than 28 units may be applied

towards a degree from Advanced Placement

(AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), DANTES

and/or CLEP tests.

Cross Listed Courses

A cross-listed course is one that carries credit in

more than one department or program.

Dean’s Honor Roll

Each undergraduate student currently enrolled

in the University who achieves a 3.5 grade point

average at the close of a term in which twelve or

more units of letter-graded (A through F) work

have been completed will be declared as being

on the Dean’s Honor Roll for that term. A

notation will be indicated on the student’s

academic record of this achievement.

Degree Types

Second Bachelor’s Degree (consecutively

or concurrent):

Second Bachelor’s degrees are awarded under

the following conditions:

1. The student completes 32 units beyond those

required for the degree that has the highest

credit requirement. These units must be

completed in residence at Pacific.

2. The student completes all specific

requirements of both programs (both general

educations and majors).

3. Both degrees must be completed at the same

time under the same catalog requirements

when earned concurrently.

Dual Major:

Students may obtain a baccalaureate degree

with two majors by completing the requirements

for both majors under the same catalog

requirements. A dual major may consist of two

departmental majors, two inerdepartmental

majors or two majors in different schools.

Students must consult each school for specific

requirements. Multiple majors will be recorded

on the student’s permanent record, but only one

degree is awarded. The degree is issued by the

student’s declared school.

Diplomas

Diplomas are not awarded at Commencement

but are available approximately three to four

months afterward. Diplomas are mailed to the

permanent address on file. Diplomas will not be

issued if you have outstanding financial

obligations to the University. Diplomas left

unclaimed are destroyed after five years.

Students must re-order and pay for new or

replacement diplomas.

The student’s diploma will list the degree, the

school or college of the University awarding the

degree, and, if applicable, major and academic

honors. The official academic transcript will

also list the major(s), concentration(s)

minor(s) and academic honors. Graduation

dates posted on the diploma coincide with the

last day of the semester. Degrees are posted 5

times a year Fall, Spring and Summer I, II and

III with the exception of the Doctor of Physical

Therapy program which has an additional date

of September 30

. The official graduation date

will reflect the completion of all academic

requirements for the degree and not necessarily

the last term of enrollment.

Enrollment Verification

Students who need enrollment verification from

the Office of the Registrar must be registered in

the term to be verified. Students should print

enrollment verifications by logging onto

insidePacific, then selecting the National

Student Clearinghouse (NSC) Link and print

Enrollment verification.

Final Examinations

Students are required to take all scheduled

exams. Matters of grading and testing

procedures are the responsibility of individual

instructors. If the instructor chooses to give a

final examination, it must be scheduled during

the time specified by the University Registrar for

the final examination for that course. No

student is allowed to take a final examination

before the scheduled time.

Grade Point Average

The Pacific grade point average is determined by

adding the total quality points and by dividing

the resultant sum by the total number of quality

hours. As a general rule, the ratio is based on

the number of letter graded units completed;

COURSE CATALOG 2011-2012

academic regulations

e.g., if a student repeats a course both courses

will be considered in the grade point average.

Beginning Fall 2006, transfer courses which a

student takes at other colleges or universities

will NOT be counted in the overall cumulative

grade point average.

Grading Policies

Symbols and Definitions:

Undergraduate and first professional level

students will be assigned grades in keeping with

the following provisions. (Grading policies for

graduate students are defined in the Graduate

Catalog.)

A 4.0 Outstanding work, highly meritorious

A– 3.7

B+ 3.3

B 3.0 Very good but not outstanding

B– 2.7

C+ 2.3

C 2.0 Satisfactory

C– 1.7

D+ 1.3

D 1.0 Barely passing but counts toward

graduation

F 0.0 Failure. Grade count in the grade

point average. Must be repeated with

a satisfactory grade to receive credit

toward graduation. Also, an F is a de-

fault grade given when an instructor

does not report a grade.

AU Audit

I Incomplete work due to extenuating

and hardship circumstances which

prevent the completion of the work

assigned within the regular time of

the term. Each incomplete grade as-

signed must be accompanied with a

contract statement agreed to by both

instructor and student as to:

a. -what work remains to be com-

pleted

b. -how it is to be evaluated

c. -a time indicated for completion

within but no later than the following

deadlines: for fall semester, by July 1

following; for spring semester, by No-

vember 1 following; for summer term,

by January 1 following.

If work is not completed within these

stipulated times, the instructor may

wish to indicate a grade in lieu of the

F or NC which automatically would be

imposed with failure to complete the

work. All incompletes must be made

up before graduation if the student in-

tends to complete the course.

N Deferred grading

NC No credit recognition. Represents un-

satisfactory work under pass/no

credit option. Not assignable in the

Conservatory of Music.

NG No Grade Received from the Instruc-

tor. Please contact the instructor.

P Passing work on the pass/no credit

system. Approved only for certain

courses and programs of a college or

school.

W Authorized withdrawal from courses

after the prescribed period.

Graduation Requirements for Bachelor’s

Degrees

Candidates for undergraduate degrees must

adhere to all of the University’s regulations. In

particular they must have:

1. Completed the major requirements specified

by the school/college/department with a

minimum grade point average of 2.0. At least

16 units of the major requirements must be

completed at Pacific;

2. Completed a minimum of 30 units in general

education including Pacific Seminars 1, 2

and 3 and a path of six or nine courses as

specified by the school or college (transfer

students should refer to the General

Education section for GE requirements);

3. Met Fundamental skills requirements;

4. Achieved a grade point average of at least 2.0

on all letter-graded work completed at the

Pacific. On non-letter-graded work, the

faculty will determine the equivalency;

5. Fulfilled the minimum residence

requirement of 32 out of the last 40 semester

units prior to receiving the degree; and

6. Accumulated the appropriate number of

program units specified by the particular

school or college.

The university requires that any candidate for a

bachelor’s degree who has not completed work

within seven years of continuous attendance to

reapply and be subject to any new requirements

in effect at that time.

Filing for Graduation

Application for Graduation: An Undergraduate

Application for Graduation must be filed with

the Office of the Registrar as an indication of

intent to graduate at a specific time. It should

be filed upon completion of 92 units (senior

standing) with the Office of the Registrar in the

Spring semester (see Term calendars on Office

of the Registrar web site) by any student

expecting to fulfill degree requirements during

the next academic year. This allows time for a

review of studies completed and to enable the

students to enroll for any requirements not yet

completed. Certification for actual graduation

will be by the advisor and the faculty of the

college or school.

Degree Check: After you have filed your

Undergraduate Application for Graduation your

college or school will check for the fulfillment of

major, department, and college requirements as

well as General Education breadth

requirements. The Office of the Registrar will

check your records to ensure that you have

completed University requirements and are in

good academic standing (2.00 or better).

Honors at Graduation

Effective Spring ’05, university wide honors at

graduation for undergraduates is awarded on

the following criteria. The student must have

completed a minimum of 54 letter-graded units

at Pacific and will be based on the student’s

final institutional (Pacific) grade point average.

The requirements are: Cum Laude (honors) 3.5,

Magna Cum Laude (high honors) 3.7, and

Summa Cum Laude (Highest Honors) 3.9.

Because Commencement occurs prior to spring

semester grading, the commencement program

will indicate honors as of fall semester grades.

The student must have completed a minimum

of 36 letter graded units at Pacific at this time.

Actual honors confirmed, as shown on diplomas

and transcripts, will be determined once all

coursework has been completed and graded.

Major

A major represents the area of study a student

has chosen to pursue for a bachelor’s degree.

Students who have not chosen a major are

designated as ‘exploratory’. A student who

decides to change a major or to declare one

must obtain and submit an approved Change of

Program form with the Office of the Registrar.

Course requirements for each of the majors

offered are in the department’s section of the

University Catalog.

Minor

A minor represents a prescribed group of courses

in a subject area other than the major. A minor

is not required for a degree, but may be elected

to strengthen preparation in areas related to the

major. To earn a minor a minimum of 20 units

and a minor GPA of 2.00 is required. Course

requirements for each of the minors offered are

in the department’s section of the University

Catalog. Students wishing to have a minor

posted to their academic record must obtain and

submit an approved Change of Program form

with the Office of the Registrar.

Official Grades

Official grades are available to students via

insidePacific approximately four weeks after the

end of the term. Unofficial grades are available

on insidePacific after the end of the faculty

grade deadline. The grades posted at that time

are merely an indication of grades submitted,

UNIVERSITY OF THE PACIFIC

academic regulations

and grades still missing. They do not show a

GPA, or academic standing.

Pass/No Credit Grading System

Depending upon the regulation of a particular

college or school, students may request to

receive pass or no credit grades rather than the

traditional letter grades. This is available to

encourage enrollments in courses outside the

student’s area of major or specialization and

thus to help broaden the student’s general

education.

Normally this freedom is limited to one course

per student per term and does not include

courses within a student’s major field. Add/Drop

forms are available in the Office of the Registrar

and must be submitted prior to the deadline for

adding classes.

Regression Rule

Students who complete coursework at an

intermediate or advanced level without first

completing the lower level introductory courses

may not then go back and take the lower level

courses for credit. This rule applies primarily to

coursework in mathematics, the sciences, and

foreign language. It may also apply in other

departments in which there is a clear content

sequence between courses.

Returning to Pacific

After Cancellation

New Students: If you cancelled your

registration and wish to attend Pacific in a

future term, you must submit a new application

for admission. Your previous admission status

will have no bearing on the decision for

admission in the future.

Continuing Students: If you cancelled your

registration, have been gone from the university

for two or more consecutive semesters

(excluding summer) and wish to attend Pacific

in a future term, you must submit an

Application for Return to Active Status, available

at the Office of Admission, 1st floor Knoles Hall.

The deadline filing dates are July 1st for Fall

and December 1st for Spring.

After Withdrawal: If you withdrew from the

University and wish to return in a future

semester, you must submit an Application for

Return to Active Status, available at the Office of

Admission, 1st floor Knoles Hall. The deadline

filing dates are July 1st for Fall and December

1st for Spring.

Registration

Registration is the means by which an

individual officially becomes a student at

Pacific. Registrants are further identified by

school/college of the University, degree status,

classification and major.

All students must register on the dates

published. No registration activity is permitted

after the last day to add or drop, as published in

the University Academic Calendar. Students are

held accountable to complete every course for

which they register. If it is necessary to add or

drop a course, the student must complete the

appropriate registration transaction by the last

day such activity is allowed as published in the

University Academic Calendar.

After the deadline dates have passed (but prior to

the end of the term) requests to add or drop

courses must be made by special petition to the

student’s respective school/college.

Requests to add or drop courses after the term

must be made to the Academic Regulations

Committee (ARC). In either case, petitions are

normally approved only if it can be shown that

the request is warranted due to some special

situation or hardship. Courses which a student

is allowed to drop after the deadline will appear

on the student’s transcript with the notation

“W” but will not count in the units earned or in

the calculation of the grade point average.

Any petitions approved after the deadline dates

will be subject to a clerical service fee. Tuition

and fee refunds are based on the date a

withdraw form is initiated in the Office of the

Registrar.

Registration - Individualized Study:

Individualized study courses are designed for

special educational needs which are not met by

the available curriculum. To register for an

Individualized Study (Independent Study course,

Internships, Practicum, or non-engineering Co-

op) obtain and submit an approved

Individualized Study Request form to the Office

of the Registrar. Note: Students on academic

probation may not register for

Individualized Study.

Repetition of a Course

In order to repeat a course students must have

received a C- or lower the first time the class was

taken. Once a course is completed (with a grade

of C or higher) the student may not repeat any

prerequisites for that course. The grading

option, when repeating a course, must be the

same as the one used originally. Any given

course can be repeated one time only.

Fundamental Skills courses are exempt from the

one time repeat rule. Grades will be averaged

when courses are repeated. The Pacific grade

point average will reflect the two grades

averaged.

In any course or program where enrollment

demand exceeds the resources to offer sufficient

openings or sections to meet that demand, the

academic unit may give registration priority to

students taking the course for the first time.

If a student repeats a course at Pacific, when

transfer credit or test units has been allowed; the

credit and grade for the course completed at

Pacific will NOT be reflected in the Pacific grade

point average. The credit previously accepted in

transfer or awarded for placement exams will

remain unchanged.

A student who receives permission to repeat a

course at another institution will have no

adjustment made to the Pacific grade point

average. The new course may count for content

and/or for credit as determined by established

transfer policies.

Grade Replacement Policy

(Applies only to courses taken at Pacific for the

first time prior to Fall 2008)

The policy applies only to courses originally

taken at Pacific for the first time prior to Fall

2008. Courses taken Fall 2008 or after are not

eligible for grade replacement.. The last grade

received is the grade that will be calculated into

the GPA although the transcript will include all

courses and earned grades. The student receives

credit for the units of the course only once.

Eligible students may exercise their grade

replacement rights up to a maximum of three

times while at Pacific. Repeats of fundamental

skills courses are not included in this

maximum. Students and faculty must complete

a “Grade Replacement” form to assure the

course will be calculated correctly by the

deadline (see Academic Calendar).

Transcripts

Upon request by the student to the Office of the

Registrar, an official transcript of his or her

academic record is issued to whomever he or she

designates provided that all of the student’s

financial obligations to the University are in

order. A service fee of $5.00 (subject to change)

per transcript is charged for processing the

record. Students can request a transcript online,

in person or by mail.

Official transcripts of credit earned at other

institutions which have been presented for

admission or evaluation of credit become the

property of the University and are not reissued or

copied for distribution to other institutions.

Copies of transcripts of work completed at other

institutions must be obtained from the

originating institution.

Transfer College Credit Limitations

Units are granted in chronological order of

when courses were taken. The maximum

number of combined units acceptable from

community colleges is 70 semester units. After a

COURSE CATALOG 2011-2012

student life

student has a total of 70 units, including those

from Pacific, those accepted in transfer, AP, IB,

or CLEP exam scores and additional lower level

military course work, cannot earn units and will

not apply to the minimum units required for

graduation. Once a student has reached 40 units

less than what is required for his/her degree,

only 8 more units may be accepted from a four

year institution. Courses taken after these limits

are reached do not have to be repeated at Pacific

since the content of the course may fulfill a

requirement, even though no units are allowed

in transfer.

Courses that a student takes at other colleges or

universities in programs not affiliated with

Pacific will not be counted in the student’s

cumulative grade point average.

A current student who is working toward a

degree at Pacific and who wants to take a course

or courses at another college or university must

obtain approval prior to enrolling in such

courses. In addition, students must be approved

by the deans designee of their school/college to

take units at other institutions if those outside

units, when combined with Pacific courses in a

semester, exceed 18 units.

The Transfer Course Approval form is available

on the Office of the Registrar’s web site and

must be completed to obtain the necessary

approval to transfer course units back to Pacific.

It is the student’s responsibility to have a

transcript of the approved work forwarded to the

Office of Admission once completed.

Undergraduate Unclassified Students

Undergraduate Unclassified students may

complete up to 27 units (to include completed

courses and courses in progress) prior to being

required to formally apply for admission to the

university. Upon acceptance to the university,

resident and transfer coursework will be

evaluated.

U.S. Military Mobilization:

All students who are called to active duty must

start the process by providing a copy of the

military summons to the Office of the

Registrar’s Veterans Affairs (VA) Coordinator,

Knoles Hall, first floor, 209-946-2135.

Cancellations processed during the first twelve

weeks will receive 100% refund and all course

sections will be dropped before leaving for active

duty, it is essential that a copy of the military

summons is delivered to the Office of the

Registrar before departure from campus. This

ensures that classes will be dropped and that

grades of ‘F’ will not be issued.

Students called to active duty toward the end of

the semester, who are short submitting final

papers or cannot take final examinations, are

entitled to receive Incompletes (I) for the

semester. Arrangements to receive Incompletes

must be made with each instructor and copies of

the military summons must be left with the

Withdrawal From a Semester or the

University

Students intending to completely withdraw from

a semester or from the university will have to

initiate the process in the Office of the Registrar.

currently enrolled students, including but not

limited to early registration.

Division of Student Life

The vision of Student Life at Pacific is to be

nationally recognized as an exemplary Student

Life program committed to the development of a

campus culture that values Diversity, Integrity,

Collaboration, Leadership, Respect, and the

connection of individuals to the Community.

The mission of Student Life is to provide

exceptional service and support to Pacific

dynamic programs, each Student Life staff

member focuses on all aspects of a student’s

personal growth and educational experience.

These values transcend individual roles and

departmental functions and unify the division.

The mission is fulfilled through:

• Sharing individual skills, passions,

differences and lives through the services and

programs that we provide to each student;

• Creating a living, learning, and working

environment that encourages students to

reach their potential;

• Encouraging the expression, understanding

of, and respect for differences within and

beyond our university community;

• Intentionally facilitating the inclusion of all

community members through active

community building;

• Working towards social justice related to

policy and historic and emerging forms of

exclusion;

• Modeling ethical decision making and

leadership;

• Collaborating with faculty, students, staff, and

community partners to provide learning

experiences that extend beyond the

classroom;

• Celebrating our community

accomplishments and;

• Being flexible, passionate, and fun.

Freshman Orientation

Even after four successful years of high school,

for most students, college is the first day of

school all over again. Freshmen orientation is

specifically designed to address the transition

into college life for the first-time college student.

During orientation, freshmen will meet current

Pacific students, faculty and staff; learn about

academic majors, expectations, and

opportunities for involvement in campus life;

participate in advising; and complete

registration for fall classes.

Transfer Orientation

Transfer orientation is designed to recognize

and build on the previous college experiences of

UNIVERSITY OF THE PACIFIC

student life

transfer students, while at the same time

introducing them to the unique aspects of

college life at Pacific. Transfer students

participate in an orientation program that

includes academic advising, course registration

and information about how to quickly become

engaged in Pacific’s academic and campus

culture. During transfer orientation, students

will have the opportunity to interact with many

faculty, students and staff that will play a key

role in their college career and time at Pacific.

Family Orientation

Students tend to have a more meaningful

college experience and make better decisions

when they discuss their academic and campus

life choices with their families. Family

Orientation is structured with this thought in

mind. Family members attending orientation

will leave with an understanding of Pacific

culture, knowledge about academic

requirements and expectations, and information

about the services and opportunities available to

their student. Family members participating in

orientation can also expect to enjoy Pacific

hospitality and the company of other families

during their time on campus.

Welcome Week

Welcome Week serves as a kick off to the

academic year at Pacific. For new students, the

week provides the opportunity to participate in

Pacific’s nationally recognized MOVE

(Mountains Ocean Valley Experience). This

event provides students with the choice of one of

thirteen shared experiences including: a trip to

Yosemite, a trip to the Headlands Institute just

outside of Golden Gate Park, river rafting and

clean up on the Sacramento River, camping at

Mount Diablo, or travel within the local area as

a part of “Reach Out Pacific”. A complete list of

trip options is available at www.pacificmove.org.

Each experience includes social activities; a

service project; opportunities to meet students,

faculty staff and alumni; and an orientation to

Pacific values and areas of distinction. The week

concludes with Convocation and an all campus

BBQ. For returning students, the weekend

provides time to reconnect with friends, faculty

and staff and prepare for the rigors of the

coming year.

New Student Convocation

New Student Convocation serves as a formal

welcome of new students into the academic life

of the University. During the ceremony, Pacific’s

values of scholarship, leadership, and

citizenship are introduced and highlighted. New

Student Convocation is also intended to be a

celebration of university life and a formal

acknowledgement of the university’s

commitment to support students in the

achievement of their educational goals – both

inside and outside the classroom.

Reach Out Pacific

Reach Out Pacific serves as an introduction for

new students to our Stockton community.

During this day new students work throughout

Stockton on various community service projects.

Participants also get a tour of Stockton so they

are more familiar with the community and

what is has to offer. This event welcomes new

students into Pacific’s culture of community

service.

Environmental Stewardship: Making the Most

of Muir through MOVE (Mountains Oceans

Valley Experience)

All first year and transfer students are invited to

experience the impact of Pacific’s relationship

with John Muir through a class trip to Yosemite,

the Headlands Institute, Mount Diablo, the

regional network of rivers or one of at least.nine

other regional sites. While at Yosemite or

Headlands, students will work alongside park

and university faculty on the completion of an

environmental service project. This trip provides

an opportunity for students to further develop

social connections within the Pacific

community and region. This experience also

serves as an introduction to leadership

development at Pacific and provides students

with at least one initial deposit for the

leadership component of their learning e-

portfolios.

Student Outreach and

Academic Support Services

Student Advising Program

In recognition of the fact that many students

naturally feel comfortable talking with a peer

who has gone through similar situations, the

student advisors provide assistance in such areas

as time management, taking lecture notes and

homework difficulties. In addition, student

advisors work with faculty advisors in helping

students with program planning and personal

adjustment during the critical first year on

campus. Peer advisors also assist in referring

students to the full range of campus services.

Student Academic Support Services also

coordinates the Program of Access to Support

Services (PASS), an individualized plan of access

to University resources designed to facilitate

college success. Based on an assessment of the

student’s academic needs, each PASS student

helps design his or her own action plan for the

semester. PASS is required for some students, but

is available to any enrolled student who can

benefit from a system of contact and academic

resources. For more information visit Student

Academic Support Services in Hand Hall or call

at (209) 946-2177.

through community service and volunteer work

with a diverse number of non-profit

organizations. New students can choose to

become involved in Reach Out Pacific during

the Welcome Week or participate with returning

students later in the fall semester. During these

experiences, students are able to visit and

experience working with our community

partners. During the academic year Pacific

students tutor youth, conduct on-campus

enrichment programs, conduct blood drives,

and volunteer at many non-profits including

Children’s Home of Stockton, Delta Human

Society, Big Brothers Big Sisters, St. Mary’s

Once in the program students are offered

leadership training and various opportunities

for students to return to the community as

leaders and agents of social change.

maturity, and potential to contribute his/her

time and energy to the Community Involvement

Program. CIP students contribute a significant

amount of time in the Stockton community

through volunteering at various community

organizations.

the Pacific campus and the community to

promote cultural diversity and awareness by

promoting interaction and engagement among

Housing

Residential Communities are central to student

life at Pacific. The University considers the

residential living experience to be an important

part of its educational opportunities, and

recognizes that living on campus contributes

significantly to a student’s development and to

the learning process. The University requires all

students who are of freshmen or sophomore

class standing (earning less than 56 units) to

live on campus. The only exceptions are for

students who reside with their parent(s) or legal

guardian(s) at their permanent address within

the 50 miles of the University, or who are over

the age of 23 (twenty-three). Additional

information of this policy is available in the

Office.

The residence system provides living

accommodations in residence halls, fraternities,

sororities and apartment facilities for

approximately 2,200 students. All University-

apartments is coeducational, where men and

women reside within the same facility, but not

in the same room or apartment. All students

living in the residence halls, apartment

communities, and some fraternities and

sororities are required to purchase a meal plan.

Some residence halls are reserved for new

freshmen interested in Learning Communities,

such as Academic Honors Program (by

invitation only) and other Residential Learning

Community programs. University apartments

are reserved for students who have either a

junior or senior standing. The Tower View

Apartments are for married students or students

with a domestic partner, and/or a child under

the age of three (3). Residence within the

fraternity and sorority system, with some

exceptions, is limited to students who were

members of the organization the previous

semester.

Housing assignments to the residence halls and

the apartments are made by the Housing and

Greek Life Office. Students already enrolled

apply directly to the Housing and Greek Life

Office. Upon acceptance to the University, an

applicant will be sent a packet of information

with the a brochure describing Pacific’s living

options, the student housing contract for

housing and dining services, and rates. The

for Pharmacy students. The residence halls and

dining halls are not open during the winter

break recess period. Detailed descriptions of

these facilities, including cost are available from

Housing and Greek Life Office at 209.946.2331

Dining Services

The Dining Service Program is provided by Bon

Appetit, the premier name in university dining.

Menus are created by the on-site Executive Chef

with an emphasis on taste and quality using

only the freshest ingredients. The program

requires students residing in the residence halls

and apartments to participate. Multiple student

dining options are found at the University

Center with “Grab and Go” alternatives

available in the Grove.

Pacific utilizes a declining balance meal plan.

This plan works like a debit card and is useable

at the eating venues in the University Center and

at other campus dining locations. Each time a

student makes a purchase at one of the many

dining options throughout campus, the amount

is deducted from the balance. A receipt will be

provided with amount used and the remaining

balance left on the account.

Students are able to use their new meal plan

account in a variety of dining locations through

the University Center including the Marketplace

(our main dining hall), The Lair (the pub), and

University Standards

Academic Standards

Judicial Affairs

The Office of Judicial Affairs manages the

student judicial process for students on the

Stockton campus. Pacific has developed policies

and procedures to clarify the expectations and

standards for students. Each student is

responsible for knowing and adhering to all

University policies and procedures. The policies

are outlined specifically in the TIGER LORE

Handbook and on the web site at

http://www.pacific.edu/Student-Life/Student-

Life-Services/Judicial-Affairs/Tiger-Lore-Student-

Handbook.html

Honor Code

All students on the Stockton campus will be

expected, on applying for enrollment, to sign an

honor pledge appropriate to the objectives and

relationships of the University. The Honor Code

calls each student to be responsible for

observing high ethical conduct. While the Honor

Code recognizes that its vitality rests with the

individual student as the community structure

of controls and judiciary procedures to make the

Honor Code effective is outlined in the Tiger

Lore.

Violating the Student Code of Conduct,

University Policies and/or Local, State

or Federal Laws

The violation of established policies or

procedures and/or local, state or federal laws

may constitute a violation of the honor code.

Such violations may include conduct that

occurs off-campus when students are

participating, attending or in some manner

connected to a University related activity.

Campus Standards

Rather than publish in this catalog a complete

and detailed code of the laws, rules and

regulations that students are required to follow,

the University declares its intention to uphold all

federal, state and municipal laws applicable and

expects all students to abide by the Student Code

of Conduct and university policies. At the time of

admission each student agrees to follow such

standards. Accordingly, any conduct not

consistent with responsible and/or lawful

behavior may be considered cause for the

University to take appropriate administrative,

disciplinary or legal action.

In addition, the University acknowledges and

actively upholds the adult status of each student

with all the rights pertaining thereto and, in

accordance with that status, considers each

student responsible for his/her own actions.

University policies and regulations are published

in the Tiger Lore and distributed annually to all

students. Statements pertaining to or

clarification of student rights are also published

in this document.

Alcohol and Other Drugs Policy

Students, faculty and staff will comply with all

federal, state and local laws and University

policies governing the consumption, possession,

distribution and sale of alcoholic beverages and

drugs on University property; at any activity or

event on and off the campus sponsored by

Pacific; or where a campus community member

is representing Pacific as part of an off-campus

program, activity or event.

More detailed policy information regarding the

consumption, possession, distribution and sale

of alcohol can be found on the Tiger Lore

website link at www.pacific.edu.

Except as legally prescribed, drugs are

prohibited. Additionally, the unlawful

manufacture, distribution, dispensing,

possession or use of any controlled substance,

including marijuana, is prohibited.

Academic Standards for Holding Student

Office

In order to hold either an elected or appointed

office in the Associated Students of the University

of the Pacific (ASUOP), the constituent schools,

fraternal societies, residence halls or the

editorial staff of The Pacifican, a student must

be registered for a full-time course of study (12

units undergraduate, 8 units graduate) each

semester during which he/she holds office.

He/she must successfully complete the above

minimum units each semester in order to

continue in the position. Exceptions to this may

be made for seniors in the final semester prior to

graduation.

A student must maintain a minimum of a 2.0

cumulative GPA in all letter-graded coursework

attempted at the University of the Pacific. In

addition, specific policies of professional schools

may stipulate that in order to hold student

office, a student must maintain a 2.0 GPA

minimum in the required courses of the major

program. Major leadership positions in ASUOP

require a 2.5 GPA. Finally, a student may not be

on disciplinary probation during the period of

time that he/she holds office. Except for any

professional school policy, exceptions to these

standards may be considered by the Office of

Student Life.

University Programs and

Services

Aerospace Studies (Air Force ROTC)

Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps is

available to University of the Pacific students

through a program offered at California State

University, Sacramento. The CSUS Department

of Aerospace Studies offers two-, three-, and

four-year programs leading to a commission in

the United States Air Force. All coursework (12

to 16 semester units) is completed on the CSUS

campus. Leadership Laboratory, physical fitness

training, and lecture are normally offered

during the early morning hours Monday

through Friday. Field training is conducted

during part of the summer at an active duty air

force base, normally between the student’s

sophomore and junior years.

Upon completion of the program and all

requirements for a Bachelor’s degree, cadets are

commissioned as second lieutenants in the Air

Force and serve a minimum of four years on

active duty. Graduates who are qualified and are

selected, may enter pilot or navigator training

after graduation, or serve in a specialty

consistent with their academic major, individual

goals, and existing Air Force needs. Graduates

may request a delay of entry to active duty to

continue their education or may apply for Air

Force-sponsored graduate study to begin

immediately upon entry on active duty.

Air Force ROTC offers 3-year and 2-year

scholarships to qualified students. Applications

are accepted in any academic discipline;

however, particular emphasis is usually given to

applicants in the fields of engineering, computer

science, mathematics, and physics.

UNIVERSITY OF THE PACIFIC

university programs and services

Due to firm scheduling requirements for the Air

Force ROTC program, students are encouraged

to work closely with their academic advisors in

planning this academic program. Application to

the Air Force ROTC program should normally

be no later than the first semester of a student’s

sophomore year. Juniors, seniors and graduate

students may also apply under certain

conditions. Contact the unit admissions officer

in the Aerospace Studies Department at CSUS,

telephone (916) 278-7783, for information on

the program or the entry process.

Testing Services

The Testing Center in the Benerd School of

Education is an officially designated national

testing center for the Graduate Record

Examination in subject matter only. The Testing

Center is available for proctoring services for

individuals seeking to take an exam of any

subject. Proctoring services are open to Pacific

students, students attending other institutions,

and the general public, whether offered through

another college, university, and/or

private/public business. Individuals interested in

proctoring services should call (209) 946-2559.

The Testing Center is located at the Gladys L.

Benerd School of Education, Room 101.

Clinical Services

In the School of Pharmacy and Health Sciences,

the Speech, Hearing and Language Center, in

cooperation with the Stockton Scottish Rite

Childhood Language Disorders Center, provides

a program for children and adults who have

need for individual or group therapy for such

problems as stuttering, cleft palate, aphasia,

cerebral palsy, and speech and language

disorders. The Center also provides

communication development, auditory training,

and speech reading therapy for hearing

impaired individuals. Comprehensive

audiological assessment is also available for

children and adults.

Experiential Learning at Pacific

For decades universities have used experiential

learning programs as a way to assist students in

integrating their academic training with the

practical side of the working world. These

programs have allowed the students to gain

hands-on experience in a relatively risk-free

environment while being supervised and

mentored by their faculty and the work site

professional. As Pacific students prepare

themselves for their own career journey, the

value of work experience in each student’s field

of interest has never been greater. Today’s

employers are more likely to hire students who

combine appropriate classroom training with

meaningful experience in the working world.

Cooperative education, internship, and

professional training programs have long been

a hallmark of academic distinctiveness at the

University of the Pacific. In 1999, Pacific’s

Academic Council approved a revision to the

experiential learning programs that will meet

the needs of the students far into the 21st

century. In addition to traditional internship,

cooperative education, and clinical programs,

Pacific has expanded offerings to include

fieldwork, service learning, research, practicum

and study abroad. Now there is virtually

something for every major and every academic

program. There has never been a more

appropriate or easier time to get involved in an

experiential learning program.

Pacific’s Career Resource Center urges all

current and future students to consider adding

an Experiential Learning Opportunity (ELO) to

their academic pursuits. For additional

information about ELO offerings, please contact

the Career Resource Center (CRC) office at

(209) 946-2361.

Office of Services for Students with

Disabilities in the Division of Student Life

The University does not discriminate against

students and applicants on the basis of

disability, in the administration of its

educational and other programs. The University

will reasonably accommodate qualified students

(including applicants) with disabilities as

defined by applicable law, if the individual is

otherwise qualified to meet the fundamental

requirements and aspects of the program of the

University, without undue hardship to the

University. Harassment on the basis of disability

issues is prohibited by the University’s policies.

For purposes of reasonable accommodation, a

student or applicant with a disability is a person

who: (a) has a physical or mental impairment

which limits one or more major life activities

(such as walking, seeing, speaking, learning, or

working); or (b) has a record with the

University by which the University has officially

recognized such impairment. To be eligible to

continue at the University, the student or

applicant must meet the qualifications and

requirements expected generally of its students,

and must also be able to perform the

requirements of the individual major or

program in which s/he is enrolled.

A qualified student or applicant is an individual

with a disability as defined by this policy and

applicable law who meets the academic and

technical standards requisite to admission and

participation in the educational program or

activity. Accommodations are such

modifications to the course, program or

educational requirements as are necessary and

effective for the individual, if reasonable to

provide at the University and do not alter the

fundamental nature of programs.

Accommodations do not include exemption

from academic evaluation standards or from the

code of student conduct.

Pacific expects that, if you are a student with a

disability, you will give sufficient notice of your

need for assistance (preferably prior to the start

of the semester) although the University will

consider the merits of each request at the time it

is received. Upon receiving a request for

assistance as well as appropriate documentation,

the Coordinator of the Office of Services for

Disabilities considers the student’s need for

assistance as it relates to the documented

disability. If appropriate, the University may

choose to consult with such individuals, internal

or external to the University, to provide further

assistance needed to evaluate the request for

accommodation. The following list is an

example of the types of reasonable

accommodations and services that university

may provide, on a case-by-case basis, to assure

equal access:

• Academic adjustments and curricular

modifications

• Assistive technology

• Consultation with faculty and staff

• Registration assistance and classroom

rescheduling

• Readers, scribes, note-taking, and library

assistance

• Test proctoring services

Please note the university does not provide or

subsidize personal care devices or services such

as ambulatory devices or assistance with

bathing, dressing, laundry, etc. Referrals to

external agencies, however, are available upon

request.

University Honors Program

Pacific’s Honors Program supports an

intellectual community of academically

outstanding students in all programs and

majors who seek added challenge and breadth

in their studies, and who wish to more fully

develop their talents and potential. Participation

is by invitation. Freshmen students are invited

based on high school performance. Factors

considered include Advanced Placement courses,

general curriculum, SAT or ACT scores and GPA.

Sophomore students are invited on the basis of

freshman year grades. By accepting the

invitation, students agree to remain in the

program for at least one year.

The honors curriculum consists of honors

general education courses, honors seminars,

and a senior project. Requirements and timing

vary with a student’s choice of school and

program. Additionally, freshman honors

students are required to attend eight events from

our calendar of “colloquia” events. Students

who complete the program will receive

appropriate annotation on their official

transcripts.

Freshman honors students may elect to live in

John Ballantyne Hall or Carter House. These

adjacent residence halls constitute an academic

living community reserved for freshman honors

students and a number of sophomore “peers”

chosen to help freshmen make the adjustment

to college life. The Honors Program Director,

whose office is located in John Ballantyne 113,

works with the residential life staff to coordinate

extra-curricular programming. Honors Program

residents traditionally have taken leadership

roles in campus politics, social activities and

scholarship.

general requirements for pre-approval are

sophomore standing and a 2.75 overall gpa.

Education abroad courses cannot be taken as

pass/fail.

The foreign language requirements for Pacific

education abroad programs vary, but viable

options exist for every major on campus. Most

students choose to participate in their

sophomore or junior years. However, interested

students should investigate study abroad choices

as early as possible in their academic careers to

ensure eligibility. Many programs require

prerequisite courses (e.g., a certain level of

foreign language proficiency) and all require a

minimum grade-point average. Additionally,

many programs incorporate home stays with

local families and some the opportunity for

independent study and/or travel.

Many education abroad programs offer a broad

curriculum, although some have a specific

academic focus such as business, ecology,

language immersion, studio arts or music

performance. Internships in government,

business, law, public relations, etc., are also

available at most sites. All Pacific sponsored

programs offer students the challenges and

benefits of studying and immersing themselves

in a culture different from their own.

The course INTL 151, Cross-Cultural Training I,

is required for all students studying abroad for a

semester or full year. A companion course, INTL

161-Cross-Cultural Training II, also is available

for students returning from an education

abroad experience. Both courses are two-unit

offerings.

University Policy on

Disclosure of Student Records

Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act

(Buckley Amendment)

The University of the Pacific adheres to a policy

of compliance with the Family Educational

Rights and Privacy Act (Buckley Amendment).

As such, it is the policy of the university (1) to

permit students to inspect their education

records, (2) to limit disclosure to others of

personally identifiable information from

education records without students’ prior written

consent, and (3) to provide students the

opportunity to seek correction of their education

records where appropriate.

I. Definitions

A. “Student” means an individual who is or

who has been in attendance at University

of the Pacific. It does not include any

applicant for admission to the university

who does not matriculate, even if he or she

previously attended the university. (Please

note, however, that such an applicant

would be considered a “student” with

respect to his or her records relating to that

previous attendance.)

B. “Education records” include those records

that contain information directly related

to a student and that are maintained as

official working files by the University. The

following are not education records:

1. records about students made by

instructors, professors and

administrators for their own use and

not shown to others;

2. campus police records maintained

solely for law enforcement purposes

and kept separate from the education

records described above;

3. employment records, except where a

currently enrolled student is employed as a

result of his or her status as a student;

4. records of a physician, psychologist, or other

recognized professional or paraprofessional

made or used only for treatment purposes

and available only to persons providing

treatment.

5. records that contain only information

relating to a person’s activities after that

person is no longer a student at the

university.

II. It is the policy of the University of the Pacific

to permit students to inspect their education

records.

A. Right of Access

Each student has a right of access to his or

her education records, except confidential

letters of recommendation received prior

to January 1, 1975, and financial records

of the student’s parents.

B. Waiver

A student may, by a signed writing, waive

his or her right of access to confidential

recommendations in three areas:

admission to any educational institution,

job placement, and receipt of honors and

awards. The university will not require

such waivers as a condition for admission

or receipt of any service or benefit. If the

student chooses to waive his or her right of

access, he or she will be notified, upon

written request, of the names of all persons

making confidential recommendations.

Such recommendations will be used only

for the purpose for which they were

specifically intended. A waiver may be

revoked in writing at any time, and the

revocation will apply to all subsequent

recommendations, but not to

recommendations received while the

waiver was in effect.

C. Types of Education Records, Titles of

Records Custodians

Please note that all requests for access to

records should be routed through the

Office of the Registrar.

how the knowledge people

and scope of knowledge.”

—Cassie Karambela,

Biological Sciences major

with a sensitivity toward cultural differences, to

use technology, and to treat others ethically in

their professional interactions.

Outcomes

Pacific’s general education mission of fostering

self-understanding, citizenship and career

development is advanced by the completion of

three Pacific Seminars and the breadth program

courses, all of which introduce students to the

natural sciences, social sciences, humanities

and arts and which develop the following

intellectual and practical skills:

• written communication

• oral communication

• critical thinking

• quantitative thinking

• cross-cultural awareness

• ethical reasoning

• civic responsibility & engagement

• aesthetic judgment

Coursework

The course of study described below is required

for all students completing a bachelor’s degree

or a first professional degree from the University.

Students must complete three Pacific Seminars

and a breadth program that ranges from six to

nine courses, depending on the academic unit.

Students must also satisfy the fundamental

skills requirements in writing, reading, and

quantitative analysis.

The Pacific Seminars

The Pacific Seminars are the distinctive feature

of Pacific’s general education program and have

received national attention by the Association of

American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U).

They focus on the question, “What is a Good

Society”? The seminars are taught by faculty

At Pacific, the general education program exposes students to areas of study outside of their major,

and they develop essential knowledge and skills that are transferable to other courses at Pacific as

well as to their personal and public lives. The exposure to different areas of study and the

development of intellectual and practical skills promote the mission of Pacific’s general education:

self-understanding, citizenship, and career development.

Mission

Self-Understanding

One goal of Pacific’s general education program

is fundamentally personal: to enrich students’

self-understanding and expand their interests in

preparation for a fulfilling life. Students are

exposed to new intellectual, moral, spiritual,

and aesthetic possibilities. Through the

interaction with others from different

backgrounds and the study of different

disciplines, students come to understand who

they are and the sources of their beliefs. They

thus gain the skills to identify, express and

analyze their beliefs and to fashion a philosophy

of life that can guide them in their future

endeavors. Students may also find life-long

pleasure in learning, self-reflection, and

conversation.

Citizenship

Another goal is to produce engaged and

informed citizens who advance a democratic

society by contributing to political and civil life

and by committing themselves to the service of

others. General education fosters the skills to

evaluate complex social and political issues and

teaches the moral and political grounds that

inform political action and service in a

democracy. The health of a society depends on

informed and active citizens who do what is

right and value the public good over narrow

self-interest.

Career Development

Finally, the general education program prepares

students to enter professional life by developing

practical skills that are valuable to employers

and essential to civil society. These skills

include the abilities to express oneself clearly

and cogently in writing and orally, to be diligent

and careful in the preparation of one’s work, to

interpret and evaluate information, to think

creatively in order to solve problems, to work

independently as well as collegially in groups

general education

from all academic divisions (humanities, social

sciences, and natural sciences) and academic

units. Pacific Seminars 1 and 2 are taken in

sequence during the first year, and Pacific is one

of only a few universities in the nation that has

a full first-year general education experience.

Pacific Seminar 3 is taken in the senior year

and serves as a culminating general education

experience.

Pacific Seminar 1: What is a Good Society?

(4 Units)

During the first semester of the freshman year,

all students must take Pacific Seminar 1: What

is a Good Society? The course is a broad

introduction to the fundamental issues of a

good society, such as the purposes of education,

the role of the family, the nature of work and

the economy, the purposes of law and

government, the rights and responsibilities of

the citizen, and the place of humans in the

natural world. Pacific Seminar 1 is a shared

intellectual experience since there is a common

course syllabus and a common reader. Students

meet in small sections to examine and expand

their beliefs about a good society through the

process of critical thinking, which is promoted

by careful reading, intensive writing, and class

discussion.

Pacific Seminar 2: Topical Seminars (4 Units)

In the second semester of the freshman year, all

students must take a Pacific 2 Topical Seminar.

Whereas Pacific Seminar I introduces students

generally to issues of a good society, the Pacific

2 Topical Seminars focus in more depth on a

particular issue or issues from Pacific Seminar

1. Some sample seminars are “Pseudo, Voodoo

and Junk Science,” “Crime, Responsibility,

Punishment,” “Divided By Faith,” “Mass Media

and Popular Culture,” “The Good City,”

“Shaping our Energy Future,” and “The Value

of Truth.” The seminars are offered from

virtually every department and academic unit

on campus and are some of the most innovative

courses at Pacific. Students meet in small

sections to examine and expand their beliefs

about a good society through the process of

critical thinking, which is promoted by careful

reading, intensive writing, and class discussion.

All sections require informal and formal writing

assignments—including a scholarly research

project—and an oral presentation.

Pacific Seminar 3: Family, Work, Citizenship

(3 Units)

In their senior year, students take Pacific

Seminar 3: The Ethics of Family, Work, and

Citizenship. Students can take this course only if

they have completed 92 or more units. This

course is a culminating general education

experience. Students learn about ethical

concepts and theories in order to identify their

individual ethical values and ethical paradigm

and to analyze ethical issues within the contexts

of family/friends, work, and political life.

Narrative is used—in particular, film and

biographies—to illustrate ethical issues for

discussion. Students will write an ethical

autobiography in order to reflect back on their

ethical development at the university and to

look forward to their future roles as family

members and friends, as part of the workforce,

and as citizens and members of communities

ranging from the local to the national and

global.

Pacific Seminar Exemption Policy: All students

must take Pacific Seminar 3; however, students

who enter the University having completed 28 or

more units of transferable, classroom college

level work that appear on a college transcript

are exempt from taking Pacific Seminars 1 and

2. Freshman students admitted to the honors

program are required to complete Pacific

Seminars 1 and 2 regardless of the number of

college units completed.

Students are not allowed to drop Pacific

Seminar 1 or 2 for any reason, even if they plan

to transfer to another college or university.

Freshmen entering in the spring semester begin

the Pacific Seminar sequence the following fall.

Students who would benefit from special

attention to reading and writing skills are

deferred from the Pacific Seminar sequence

until their sophomore year.

Students must pass Pacific Seminar 1 (“D” or

better) in order to take Pacific Seminar 2.

Students who have an Incomplete (I grade) in

Pacific Seminar 1 must clear the “I” before the

first Friday of the Spring semester in order to

take Pacific Seminar 2. Students can repeat a

different Pacific Seminar 2 course.

Students must pass Pacific Seminars 1 and 2 in

order to graduate. There are no substitutions.

The Pacific Seminars cannot be repeated if

students earn a “D” or higher.

The Pacific Seminars must be taken for a letter

grade.

All transfer and post baccalaureate students

must pass Pacific Seminar 3.

The Breadth Program 6-9

Courses (3 or 4 Units Each)

The general education program beyond the

Pacific Seminars provides students with

considerable choice but within a framework that

ensures they gain essential knowledge and skills.

With the help of their advisors, students choose

courses in the breadth program that interest

them or that relate to other courses in their

planned course of study.

The Breadth Program requirements vary from

School or College (see the table following the

listing of the categories and sub-categories). All

students must complete at least six courses, two

from each of the three main categories listed

below (I, II, and III); however, only one class

can come from each subcategory or area (A, B,

and C), and all students must complete a course

in area III-A and in area III-B.

Students can satisfy subcategory IIIC by taking a

second course in subcategory IIIA.

Students can take a maximum of two courses

from a single department (as defined by subject

code, e.g., HIST or ENGL or MPER) to satisfy the

breadth requirement; however, there is an

exception for area IIC since students may take

three 1-unit courses in the same discipline of

applied music or dance to meet the

requirement. Courses in the breadth program

component of the general education program

will normally have a value of three or four

units.

Independent study courses cannot be used to

satisfy general education requirements.

The structure of the breadth program is as

follows:

I. Social and Behavioral Sciences

I.A. Individual and Interpersonal Behavior

I.B. U.S. Studies

I.C. Global Studies

II. Arts and Humanities

II.A. Language and Literature

II.B. Worldviews and Ethics

II.C. Visual and Performing Arts

III. Natural Sciences and Mathematics

III.A. Natural Sciences

III.B. Mathematics and Formal Logic

III.C. Science, Technology and Society

The titles of the courses themselves are listed by

category and subcategory later in this section.

The breadth program requirements for each

School or College are listed in the table below.

Contact the General Education Unit Coordinator

in your unit for more information.

Students can satisfy GE requirements with a 4 or

higher for Advanced Placement and a 5 or

higher for Higher Level International

Baccalaureate. A maximum of 28 units total

from Advanced Placement, International

Baccalaureate DANTES and/or CLEP test results

may be applied toward a Pacific degree,

including General Education breadth areas.

Fundamental Skills

As part of the general education program, all

students are required to be competent in three

fundamental skills at entrance: reading, writing

and quantitative analysis. Students may

demonstrate competence in these skills in one of

three ways: 1) completion of approved, college-

level courses at an accredited college or

university; 2) satisfactory performance on an

approved, nationally administered examination;

or 3) satisfactory performance on examinations

given at Pacific during new student orientation

or shortly thereafter.

Students can meet these fundamental skills

by taking course work to improve their skills

as follows:

• To show competency in quantitative analysis

(math), students must successfully complete

MATH 005 (Intermediate Algebra), MATH 035

(Statistics) or PSYC 103 with a grade of C- or

better, or complete an equivalent course from

another accredited college or university with

a grade of C or better during the first full year

of study including summer sessions.

• To show competency in writing, students

must successfully complete WRIT 021

(Writing for College) with a grade of C- or

better or complete an equivalent course from

another accredited college or university with

a grade of C or better during the first full year

of study including summer sessions.

• To show competency in reading, students

must successfully complete READ 031

(Reading for College) or READ 051 with a

grade of C- or better during the first full year

of study including summer sessions or

complete an equivalent course from another

accredited college or university with a grade

of C or better.

• Successful completion of course work in

quantitative analysis, writing and reading at

Pacific requires a grade of C- or better. Course

work taken in quantitative analysis, writing,

or reading at another college or university

requires a grade of C or better and must be

approved in advance via a Transfer Course

Approval form.

• Failure to make progress toward fulfilling

Pacific’s fundamental skills requirements

during the first year of study will be grounds

for being placed on academic probation.

Failure to satisfy the fundamental skills

requirements (as summarized in the three

points above) by the end of four semesters of

full-time study at the University will be

grounds for academic disqualification.

• Students with documented disabilities that

directly affect their mastery of these skills or

students concurrently enrolled in an

approved English-as-a-Second-Language

(ESL) Program of instruction in reading and

writing may seek a written extension of the

deadline for demonstrating competence.

• The quantitative analysis (math), writing,

and reading requirements must be met before

a student graduates with a bachelor’s degree

or a first professional degree.

Requirements for Transfer

Students

Transfer students from California who have

completed the IGETC or CSU Breadth General

Education requirements at their previous

institutions prior to enrolling at Pacific will

satisfy Pacific’s General Education program but

must complete Pacific Seminar 3. Students who

have not completed the IGETC or CSU Breadth

General Education requirements will have

their courses articulated for general

education credit on a course by course basis.

Fundamental Skills Requirements

Fundamental skills requirements for transfer

students include reading, writing and

quantitative analysis (math). Students may

demonstrate competence in these skills in one of

three ways: 1) completion of approved, college-

level courses at an accredited college or

university; 2) satisfactory performance on an

approved, nationally administered examination;

or 3) satisfactory performance on examinations

given at Pacific during new student orientation

or shortly thereafter. Placement tests taken by

transfer students at their previous institution

will not replace Pacific’s assessments.

Breadth Program Requirements

Transfer students from California who have

completed the IGETC or CSU Breadth General

Education requirements at their previous

institutions prior to enrolling at Pacific will

satisfy Pacific’s General Education program but

must complete Pacific Seminar 3.

Transfer students who have not completed

IGETC or CSU Breadth General Education

requirements will have their transcripts for

breadth program requirements articulated on a

course by course basis upon entry to the

University. General education courses taken by

these students at their previous institutions

which are of the same quality and equivalency

as courses offered at Pacific will be applied for

breadth program requirements at Pacific.

Pacific Seminar Requirements

Transfer students who have completed 28 or

more units of transferable, classroom college

work that appear on a transcript must only

complete Pacific Seminar 3.

Individual schools and colleges may impose

general education graduation requirements,

including skills requirements, beyond the

University’s general education program.

Transfer students who entered the University

prior to the 1993-94 academic year and who

desire an evaluation of their records in regard to

general education should contact the General

COURSE CATALOG 2011-2012

general education

Education Unit Coordinator of their school and

college.

Requirements for Post Bac-

calaureate Students

Students who completed a Bachelor’s degree

elsewhere and who are seeking an additional

Bachelor’s degree at Pacific must only complete

Pacific Seminar 3 to satisfy the GE and

Fundamental Skills requirements.

Breadth Course List for Gen-

eral Education

The courses listed below are approved as

counting toward the breadth program

requirement in each of the nine areas of the

program. Students satisfying II-C with one-unit

dance or applied music courses must complete

three courses in the same discipline. Although

not always listed here, some “special topics’’

courses taught during a particular term may

also be approved for general education. Some

professional schools on campus have more

restrictive requirements under which only some

of the courses listed in each area will count for

students pursuing those professional programs.

The listing of general education courses being

taught during a particular term can be found

wishing to meet this requirement by taking a

course at a different college or university must

first complete a Transfer Course Approval

Request form, available at the Office of the

Registrar in Knoles Hall or online at

http://web.pacific.edu/x7909.xml.

Objectives of the Diversity

Course Requirement

Students completing any approved diversity

course will be able to articulate, in both written

and oral forms, how notions of difference work

within frameworks of social hierarchy.

(Difference may be defined by such notions as

age, class, citizenship, disability, ethnicity,

gender identity, language, nationality, race,

religion, sexual orientation, and/or

socioeconomic status.)

Students completing an approved “diversity

course” will also be able to do at least three of

the following four tasks:

1. Articulate their own developing

understanding of social difference and its

impact on their discipline(s), personal life

and society as a whole;

2. Express, in both written and oral forms, their

understanding of how ideas and beliefs about

diversity and difference in the United States

have changed over time, identifying relevant

historical movements and players;

3. Demonstrate a satisfactory understanding of

how social institutions and individuals

respond to issues of difference;

4. Apply their understanding of relevant theory

and/or historical analysis of diversity to a

specific “societal problem” for the purpose of

developing solutions.

Diversity Requirement

Mission

Self-Understanding

One goal of Pacific’s general education program

is fundamentally personal: to enrich students’

self-understanding and expand their interests in

preparation for a fulfilling life. Students are

exposed to new intellectual, moral, spiritual,

and aesthetic possibilities. Through the

interaction with others from different

backgrounds and the study of different

disciplines, students come to understand who

they are and the sources of their beliefs. They

thus gain the skills to identify, express and

analyze their beliefs and to fashion a philosophy

of life that can guide them in their future

endeavors. Students may also find life-long

pleasure in learning, self-reflection, and

conversation.

Diversity Requirement

The diversity course requirement serves as a key

curricular component of the University of the

Pacific’s commitment to diversity and inclusive

excellence. The diversity requirement

contributes to students’ intercultural

competencies and to an understanding of the

complex connections among domestic diversity,

globalism, and democracy.

The University of the Pacific requires that all

students earning a bachelor’s degree successfully

complete at least one 3-unit officially designated

diversity course. [Exception: the two-unit INTL

151 and 161 Cross Cultural Training courses

may be combined to meet the diversity

requirement.] This requirement is applicable to

all students who have enrolled at Pacific on or

after fall 2010.

Transfer Students

Students transferring into the university on or

after fall 2011 are required to complete a

designated diversity course prior to graduation.

Transfer students are defined in the General

Education section of the catalog

Post Baccalaureate

Students who completed a Bachelor’s degree

elsewhere and who are seeking an additional

Bachelor’s degree at Pacific are exempt from

this requirement.

Transfer Courses

The University diversity requirement can be met

entirely, or in part, by the successful completion

of an approved course at Pacific or at an

Cross-Disciplinary Programs

For students in College of the Pacific, the arts

and sciences or “liberal arts” college of the

university, liberal learning is not a mere

addition to professional preparation, but rather

its foundation. We believe that a grounding in

the arts, humanities, social and natural sciences

deepens students’ understanding of difficult

issues and transforms them to become, first and

foremost, self-reflective, knowledgeable, and

ethical persons. As such they bring a broad

perspective to their professional careers and are

well prepared to assume the responsibilities of

civic leadership.

For both arts and sciences students pursuing

degrees and pre-professional students

completing coursework in the College, we

provide a personalized learning environment

that supports student success through broad

access to our faculty. Students in the College of

the Pacific study with nationally and

internationally recognized scholars who are

committed undergraduate teachers. Learning

takes place both in the class and outside it as

students and faculty interact in directed and

collaborative inquiry. Active learning strategies

in the classroom, extensive experiential learning

opportunities alongside faculty

researchers/practitioners, and one-on-one

faculty advising together give students

exceptional opportunities to benefit from faculty

expertise as teachers and scholars.

The College challenges students to engage in

exploration, inquiry, and discovery: exploration

of the world around them and of themselves and

inquiry into philosophical, social, and natural

phenomena that generates different types of

meaningful discovery.

With the assistance of faculty advisors, students

in the College plan their academic programs to

include general education courses, courses

required by the majors and minors they have

selected, and courses that satisfy each student’s

individual interests.

General Education

Requirements

In addition to participation in three Pacific

Seminars, College of the Pacific students are

required to successfully complete nine courses,

three in each of the three main categories of the

University general education program, totaling

a minimum of 42 units. Students must take

three courses listed under Category I- Social and

Behavioral Sciences (one in each subcategory),

and three courses listed under Category II- Arts

and Humanities (one in each subcategory). In

Category III- Natural Sciences and Mathematics,

students have the option of taking one course

from each of the three areas, or two courses

from area A- Natural Sciences and one course

from area B- Mathematics and Formal Logic.

Restrictions:

1. No more than eight units from a single

department as defined by subject code (e.g.,

“HIST”, “MPER”, etc.) may be applied to

meet the requirements of the general

2. Units earned by correspondence, extension, or

independent study may not count in general

education except with the permission of the

Associate Dean and Director of General

Education. Coursework in directed research,

field experience or similar activities such as

internships, practicums, and cooperative

education cannot be used to meet general

education requirements.

3. Beginning Fall 2009, Pacific accepts a 4 or

higher for Advanced Placement and a 5 or

higher for Higher Level International

Baccalaureate. There is a maximum of 28

Mission

The College of the Pacific’s mission is to prepare students to lead successful lives as engaged

members of their communities, both professional and civic, through discovery-based learning that

teaches them to think critically and work collaboratively.

analysis made of their transcripts at the time of

matriculation into the College to determine

what requirements remain to be completed of

the 12 course/42 unit minimum requirement.

Students pursuing a degree in another school of

the University may elect to complete a second

major in the College of the Pacific without

fulfilling the specific general education

requirements of the College.

Phi Beta Kappa

The College of the Pacific houses a chapter of

Phi Beta Kappa, the nation’s oldest academic

honor society. Only ten per cent of American

colleges and universities qualify to host PBK

chapters. Each year each chapter chooses no

more than the top ten per cent of its graduates

for the honor of membership. Phi Beta Kappa

honors students who have distinguished

themselves in their studies of the liberal arts and

sciences. To be eligible for invitation, a student

must demonstrate breadth in the liberal arts

and sciences, including, specifically, at least one

course in literature, intermediate competence in

a second language (equivalent to two years of

college language study), and competence in

mathematics equal to pre-calculus.

College of the Pacific

Language Requirement

The College of the Pacific requires one year of

college instruction or equivalent training in a

language other than English for all students

seeking a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree. Students

who transfer to University of the Pacific from

another college or university with sophomore

standing or above, or who seek a Bachelor of

Science (BS) degree or a Bachelor of Fine Arts

(BFA) degree in the college, are exempt from

this requirement. Students who have completed

their secondary education and received a

diploma in a language other than English may

be exempt from the language requirement with

the approval of the Associate Dean of the College

of the Pacific.

The College language requirement can be met

entirely, or in part, by completing coursework at

the College, at approved colleges and

universities, or by examination. To fulfill the

requirement by completing coursework, a grade

of C- or better at Pacific (or a C or better in

transfer) must be obtained in the second

semester course. In addition to modern and

ancient written languages, students may elect to

complete the requirement in American Sign

Language. Computer languages cannot be

substituted for the requirement.

Because students interested in qualifying for Phi

Beta Kappa, the national honors society for

liberal arts and science students, must

demonstrate at least intermediate proficiency in

another language, equivalent to two years of

college-level coursework, all BS, BFA, and BA

students who believe they may qualify for this

academic distinction are urged to pursue the

study of a language other than English as part

of their coursework at Pacific.

While the University makes every effort to meet

student interests and needs, it does not

guarantee that every student will be able to

fulfill this requirement by studying his or her

first choice of a language. The University also

does not guarantee that students studying

languages other than those offered through the

Pacific Department of Modern Language and

Literature will have access to the courses needed

to complete the requirement. In some cases, a

student taking language courses not offered by

the Department of Modern Language and

Literature may also need to pass an approved

competency examination in addition to his or

her course work. As with all subjects, students

must get prior approval before taking course

work outside of the University that they intend to

use toward completion of their Pacific degree.

The Major Program

The College of the Pacific provides students with

opportunities for specialized study in a major

through an unusually varied and flexible

arrangement of courses. The College has

designed a wide variety of majors to respond to

the needs and career goals of students,

including majors in a single subject such as

Spanish, history or mathematics. The College of

the Pacific also has cross-disciplinary majors

combining two areas of study, such as

chemistry/biology and multi-disciplinary majors

that combine the resources of several

departments, such as liberal studies. The Self-

designed major and Thematic minor offered

through the College allow students to create

their own program of study by combining the

course offerings of any variety of departments

and programs on campus. Most of these majors

can be combined with pre-professional

programs such as our Pacific Legal Scholars

Program which prepares students for law school.

In addition, students of The College of the

Pacific may take advantage of the courses and

programs offered by the other schools on the

University campus. In fact, a student may elect

to pursue two majors in different schools and

may take any undergraduate course in the

University provided that the course prerequisites

are met. Students must maintain a minimum

GPA of 2.0 in a major program and complete a

minimum 16 units in residence at Pacific.

The result of this diversity and openness of

curricular offerings and programs is that

students receive the benefits normally associated

with a large university while experiencing the

close personal relationship between students and

faculty which is a hallmark of the College of the

Pacific.

Minors

Minors consist of a coherent set of related

courses in a particular discipline or

interdisciplinary area. Minors require 20 units

or more, and where possible, advanced level

courses. Ten units or more, depending on the

specific program, must be taken at the

University of the Pacific. Students must

maintain a minimum GPA of 2.0 in a minor

program. Students may not take a major and a

minor in the same discipline.

For a complete description of approved minors,

see the appropriate department or program

description in this catalog.

Declaring a Major or Minor

To declare or add a major or minor, students

must complete a Change of Program form,

available on the Office of the Registrar’s web

site, and submit it to the Academic Affairs Office

of The College (WPC 111) with all required

faculty signatures. Students must have a faculty

advisor for each major and minor; advisors may

be assigned by the department chair or program

director offering the program or a student may

request a particular faculty member in the

department and ask him or her directly to serve

as his/her major or minor advisor.

Students are encouraged to officially declare

their majors and minors as soon as they decide

to pursue them. This helps ensure that a

student’s progress to degree is being tracked

accurately and that he/she is being advised

appropriately. For students who enter The

College as “exploratory” or undecided about

their major, it is important to declare a major

program of study by the end of their sophomore

year or fourth semester. Some major programs,

especially in the natural sciences, that have a

series of pre-requisite courses, require that a

student begin pursuing the necessary

coursework early. Students interested in the

natural sciences who are undecided about a

specific major should declare “Exploratory BS”

to indicate that they intend to declare a natural

science major. This will ensure that they are

advised appropriately and permit them to enroll

in foundation science courses right away.

Students must meet with all of their faculty

advisors for both majors and minors each

advising period to ensure that the courses they

enroll in are appropriate for their degree

objectives.

The Washington Semester Program

The Washington Semester program is a joint

project of Pacific and American University in

Washington, D.C. The program includes an

internship in a U.S. government agency,

lobbying organization, political party, media

organization, foreign embassy, or non-profit

agency. Students select one of 13 areas of

concentration such as American politics,

economic policy, international business and

trade, foreign policy, or journalism, among

others. Some concentrations include an overseas

travel segment. Students participate in a

semester-long seminar including discussions

with public officials, political figures, lobbyists,

think-tank scholars, and the media. They also

undertake a research project or take an elective

course at American University. Students

normally earn 16 academic credits which are

easily transferred to Pacific. By living on the AU

campus, students have full access to campus life

including dining halls, athletic facilities, and

libraries. For application information, contact

The Sacramento Experience Internship

Program

The Sacramento Experience program has two

components. One is an internship in either a

state agency or a lobbying organization for two

days per week. Students have staff assignments

including legislative research, monitoring and

reporting on public hearings, helping arrange

high level meetings, and taking part in

legislative strategy sessions. Satisfactory

completion generates four units of academic

credit. In addition, students take part in policy

seminars featuring officials of state government

and senior members of the lobbying and media

communities in Sacramento. Two units of

academic credit are earned through

participation in the seminars. Students have

interned in the Office of the Governor,

legislators’ offices, the League of Women Voters,

the Planning and Conservation league, the

Council of State Governments, and the League

of California Cities, among others. All

undergraduates are eligible to apply. For

information and applications, contact Dr.

determining the academic and social policies of

the College. They can become voting members

of virtually all College standing committees

where important questions of policy are

discussed.

The College of the Pacific Association (COPA)

provides students with an opportunity to become

involved in College activities and service. COPA

is organized to foster identity among College of

the Pacific students, to enhance student-faculty

relationships, to enable students to obtain a

better understanding of the College and

University academic and administrative

at least 124 units with a minimum grade

point average of 2.0 in all college-level work

completed at University of the Pacific and in

all courses taken as part of the major

program. The Bachelor of Fine Arts degree

requires 136 units.

2. Students must complete an approved major

program of study within the College to fulfill

the requirements for a baccalaureate degree.

For all courses in the major (including

cognate courses) students must achieve a

grade point average of 2.0 or better. Courses

for the major must be taken for letter grades

with exceptions made for internships,

fieldwork, and practicums.

3. In order to receive a BA or BS degree in The

College, students must complete a minimum

of 64 units outside the discipline of their first

major, regardless of the department offering

the course or courses. In order to receive a

BFA degree, students must complete a

minimum of 53 units outside the discipline

of their first major, regardless of the

department offering the course or courses.

4. Students must complete the College of the

Pacific general education program to fulfill

the requirements for a baccalaureate degree.

Please refer to the University general

education program statement and the

statement on College of the Pacific general

education modifications for the requirements

of the program.

5. Students are encouraged to consult with their

advisors or the College Academic Affairs

Office if they have any questions or problems

regarding General Education or their majors.

Special Additional Requirements for Transfer

Students

1. All transfer students must enter The College

with their fundamental skills requirement

(Math 5 and Write 21) already met and must

have a minimum GPA of 2.8 in all

articulated coursework upon entering Pacific.

2. All transfer students must fulfill the

requirements of the College of the Pacific

general education program including PACS

003 in their senior year. Only courses with a

minimum grade of C and three or more

semester units, or four or more quarter units,

of credit will be accepted in the program.

The Associate Dean and Director of General

Education, in conjunction with the

Articulation Specialist determines which

courses completed at other institutions will

satisfy General Education requirements.

3. Based on university-wide articulation

agreements with other colleges and

universities, each academic program advisor

evaluates transfer courses to determine if they

satisfy any of the major or minor course

requirements. Some departments limit the

number of courses they will accept for the

major or minor from other institutions.

Policies and Grading in the College of the

Pacific

1. With few exceptions, courses taken in the

major must be on a letter grade basis.

Students are permitted to take up to three

courses outside their major on a pass/no

credit basis in general education or in

electives in order to encourage enrollment in

courses outside their areas of specialization.

Normally this option is limited to one course

per student per semester. Students electing

this option in College of the Pacific courses

must understand that a grade of “pass’’ will

be awarded for work evaluated at the level of

C- or better and a grade of “no credit’’ will be

awarded for work evaluated at the level of D+

or below. The student must declare the

intention to enroll in a course on the pass/no

credit basis with the instructor by completing

a form available from the Office of the

Registrar prior to the deadline established for

adding classes.

2. In cooperation with the Senior Associate

Dean, departments may designate certain

courses to be graded only on the pass/no

credit basis. In such courses the nature of the

learning does not provide an adequate basis

for meaningful rank ordering of student

performance and under no circumstances

shall the student’s work be evaluated on a

letter-graded system. Courses numbered

087/187 (Internship), 089/189 (Practicum)

and 092/192 (Cooperative Education) must

be graded on a pass/no credit basis only.

Activity courses (ACTY) in the Department of

Sport Sciences are deemed Physical

Education Activity and Intercollegiate

Athletics classes respectively, and are graded

on a pass/no credit basis only. Fieldwork

courses are normally graded on a pass/no

credit basis also.

Course Numbering Policies and Unit

Restrictions

1. Courses numbered 092/192 indicate

cooperative education study and may be

offered by departments or on a college-wide

basis without specific departmental

designation. Courses carrying the 092/192

designation indicate work experiences on a

full-time or parallel (part-time) basis, which

are coordinated by the Office of Cooperative

Education and a faculty supervisor from an

appropriate department of the College.

Students from other schools and colleges on

the Stockton campus may also participate in

the Cooperative Education Program. Students

who elect 092/192 normally are expected to

undertake at least two work experiences (the

equivalent of two semesters or six months in

total) separated by at least one period of full-

time academic study. Students may earn two

to four units of academic credit for each

working period for a total of eight units.

Students on a part-time (parallel) basis are

encouraged to register for additional

coursework on campus providing that the

total combination of units does not exceed a

normal load. In the first of two work

experiences, students will enroll in 092, in

the second, 192. Students may not exceed the

20-unit limitation stipulated in #5 below.

2. Courses numbered 087/187 and 089/189

indicate internship and practicum study

when included in the course number of

departments in the College of the Pacific.

Courses numbered 087/187 designate work

experiences that usually are conducted off-

campus, primarily under the supervision of

someone not holding a full-time

appointment on the faculty of the College of

the Pacific. Courses numbered 089/189

designate work experiences conducted usually

on campus, under the direct supervision of a

College of the Pacific faculty member.

Courses numbered 087/187 and 089/189 may

UNIVERSITY OF THE PACIFIC

college of the pacific

be taken for two, three or four units of credit.

If a department’s 087/187 and/or 089/189

courses carry alphabetic subscripts

designating different categories of study

experiences, then the 087/187 or 089/189

course may be repeated for credit as long as

the student does not repeat a category

(subscript) or exceed the 20-unit limitation

(see “5’’ below). In some cases, the

department may indicate special restrictions.

3. Activity courses (ACTY) and THEA 005 in the

Theatre Arts Department are considered

Activity courses. Courses numbered ACTY

001-049 are General Activity courses and

courses numbered ACTY 050-099 are

Intercollegiate Sports courses. Students will

be able to apply no more than a total of eight

units in Activity and Intercollegiate Sports

courses toward graduation. All Activity and

Intercollegiate Sports classes will be evaluated

on the pass/no credit basis.

4. A total of no more than eight units of

extension credit offered by University of the

Pacific may be applied to the units required

for a baccalaureate degree. Regularly

enrolled students (full- or part-time) may not

receive more than two units of extension

credit in any given semester. Extension

courses may not be repeated for credit. An

exception to this policy allows students to

receive up to 8 extension units in a single

term, and up to 8 additional extension units

to count towards graduation, only upon

completion of the joint MLL/CPCE summer

courses coded XSPG (Guatemala) or XITA

(Italy). Completion of the Italy program will

meet the one-year COP BA language

requirement.

5. No more than 20 units of Cooperative

Education (092/192), Internship (087/187),

Practicum (089/189), General Activity (ACTY

002-049), Theatre Activity (THEA 005),

Dance Team (ACTY 001) and Intercollegiate

Sports (ACTY 050-099) courses in any

combination may be applied to the units

required for a baccalaureate degree. See

Communication Department for further

restrictions on Communication internships.

6. Courses numbered 201 to 299 carry credits

for graduate degrees and courses numbered

above 300 are exclusively for students

admitted to a doctoral program.

7. Courses numbered 193: Each department of

the College of the Pacific may offer, on

occasion, special topics courses (193). Some

departments also offer lower-level special

topics courses numbered 093 and/or

graduate-level courses numbered 293. The

material of the special topics courses may

reflect the current research of the instructor

or the needs and interests of a group of

students. Detailed descriptions of these

courses may be obtained from the chair of

the department in which the courses are

offered.

8. The following sets of course numbers

designate a similar function in each

department of the College of the Pacific: 191

and 291, independent study, undergraduate

and graduate; 195, 295 and 395, seminar,

undergraduate, graduate and doctoral; 197,

297 and 397, independent research,

undergraduate, graduate and doctoral; 299,

master’s thesis; 399, doctoral dissertation. In

some departments, courses numbered 191 or

197 may be offered for a minimum of two

units. No independent study or

undergraduate research course may exceed

four units.

Objective

Chemistry is the study of everything interesting in the everyday world

around us. Chemists explore the world of atoms and molecules seeking to

understand the structures, bonding and properties and how these

structures are transformed in chemical reactions. Everything from a block

of wood to a silicon computer chip to the protoplasm of a living cell is of

interest in chemistry. An understanding and appreciation of underlying

chemistry is becoming increasingly important for our lives and the future

of our small planet. The emphasis in all chemistry classes is to develop a

basic and thorough understanding of concepts and to gain knowledge in

how to apply these concepts in a logical fashion to solve real world

problems. Students can choose among a wide variety of degree programs

designed to meet a range of career goals. The Chemistry Department has a

long history of success in placing students into excellent medical, dental,

pharmacy and graduate school programs. They are also well prepared for

careers in industry, government service and private business. The Bachelor

of Science Degrees in Chemistry is certified by the American Chemical

Society (ACS). The BS Biochemistry program follows national guidelines.

The Bachelor of Arts degree is designed to give the student a broad

understanding of chemistry and to provide a preparation for careers in

medicine, dentistry and teaching.

The more rigorous Bachelor of Science degree prepares students for a

variety of options including advanced degree studies in chemistry and

biochemistry, professional schools of medicine and dentistry, and careers in

the chemical industry.

Virtually all Bachelor of Science and many Bachelor of Arts candidates

choose undergraduate research as one of their chemistry electives. In this

course the student has the opportunity to use the modern instrumentation

available in the department and to work closely with faculty and graduate

students on an original research project. The graduate students are

typically conducting independent research projects as part of a Master of

Science or a PhD program.

The emphasis in Medicinal Chemistry is offered by the College of the

Pacific with the support of the Thomas J. Long School of Pharmacy and

Health Sciences. The major is only open to students in the 3 + 3 Pre-

Pharmacy Advantage Program or those in the 2 + 3 who extend a year

(see pre-pharm requirements). The COP courses are to be completed prior

to entry into the PharmD program. The TJLSPHS courses may only be

completed as part of the PharmD degree plan.

Geology

Environmental Studies

The Bachelor of Arts in Geology is for liberal arts students with a strong

interest in the earth and its environments, but who are not planning to

pursue a career in geology. The breadth of a BA in geology is ideal for

preparing students for professional degrees and successful careers in law,

business, administration, or international relations. The Bachelor of

Science in Geology prepares the student for graduate study or professional

employment in geology. Students earning a BS in geology can obtain

competitive jobs in a number of geoscience areas, including geotechnical

consulting, where they assess geologic hazards and environmental

impacts. Other career paths include working as a geologist involved with

the exploration and production of fossil fuels and other important mineral

resources. An increasing emphasis on environmental issues and growing

demand for natural resources, in addition to recent retirement patterns in

the geosciences, are creating a considerable demand for well-trained

geoscientists. According to the American Geological Institute, Masters and

PhD-level geoscientists have experienced effectively zero unemployment

during the past 20 years.

The Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science major is designed to

impart students with the practical skills and knowledge required to

critically evaluate environmental problems and issues and provide applied

solutions. The major is decidedly interdisciplinary in nature, focusing on

the underlying natural processes relating to the environment and

understanding and employing the scientific method. The need for broadly

trained scientists in the area of environmental science is critical and the

understanding of the importance of this field provides many employment

opportunities. A BS in Environmental Science can lead to numerous

employment opportunities with many different agencies and areas. Typical

employment could involve working for consulting firms performing

environmental restoration, producing environmental impact studies for

both governmental agencies and private firms, and additional vital

biological services. Other types of employment can be found with

regulatory agencies seeking to ensure compliance with environmental

regulations and laws, with environmental law firms, or public health

agencies. The Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Studies is for liberal arts

students with an interest in environmental issues. It provides a multi-

disciplinary approach to environmental issues and concerns.

Economics

The study of Economics examines how societies choose to use their

limited resources to produce goods and services; it is also concerned with

the mechanisms through which societies decide to distribute products to

its members. Economics, therefore, by necessity studies interactions

among households, firms and governmental institutions. Economic policy

decisions ultimately rest upon economic theory, so considerable care is

taken to explain the basic theories which render economics a scientific

discipline.

Mission

The mission of the Economics Department is twofold. First, students from

all majors are taught how to conceptualize their own roles in society,

whether acting as individuals, members of private-sector firms or as public

servants in the government sector. Second, economics majors and minors

learn how to apply higher-level theoretical and technical skills (e.g.

statistics and computers) to any number of specialized areas within the

broad reach of the discipline.

Bachelor of Arts

mographic Interactions (4)

‘Globalization’ is conveniently considered a recent, even post –World War II,

phenomenon. This conventional notion is challenged in this course, where

we analyze new research that states that deep worldwide connections have

existed for many centuries. The course is divided into three sections. Part I ex-

amines geographical and environmental factors that determined living stan-

dards in specific regions throughout the world during the past 13,000 years.

Part II focuses on the birth of global trade beginning in the 16th century. Dy-

namics within China played a crucial role, while Europeans were middle-

men (rather than prime movers) in this process. In Part III of the course, the

Industrial revolution in Europe is compared with industrial condition within

China, Japan, and elsewhere simultaneously. A debate is discussed concern-

ing whether industrialization occurred first in northwest Europe because of

internal conditions within a European core, versus a view that environmen-

tal constraints at a global level played a key role in determining why indus-

trialization first appeared within northwest Europe. Prerequisites: ECON 053

and ECON 055, or permission of instructor.

ECON 121. International Trade (4)

A study of the economic theory surrounding the exchange of goods and serv-

ices between countries and the application of this theory to current interna-

tional issues. Topics include the determination of world trade patterns, the

effects of changing trade patterns on income distribution within a country; the

pros and cons of trade barriers; trade concerns of developing countries; and

the effects of international trade on the world’s natural environment. Pre-

requisites: ECON 053 and ECON 055. (Course also listed among SIS

courses).

ECON 123. International Finance (4)

A study of the financial side of international economics. Topics include bal-

ance of payments accounts and the foreign exchange market; exchange rate

determination and the macro economy; the international debt crisis and cap-

ital flight; and the history of international monetary systems. Prerequisites:

ECON 125. Economic Development (4)

Examines the plight of the world’s poor countries. Discussion of the extent of

world poverty. Review of the evolution of ideas on the topic of economic de-

velopment over the past three decades. Course considers the following types

of questions: What are the causes of development and/or underdevelopment?

Are Third World countries merely at a primitive stage of development analo-

gous to European countries prior to the Industrial Revolution? What are the

roles of climate, the legal system, education, health and sanitation, natural

resources, technology, multinational corporations, religious beliefs and so

on? Are rich countries making a meaningful effort to aid poor countries? Can

we, or even should we, help? Should emphasis be placed on the agricultural

or industrial sector? Prerequisites: ECON 053 and ECON 055 or permis-

sion of instructor. (Course also listed among SIS courses.)

ECON 131. Public Finance (4)

Study of the role of the government in the economy. Uses the tools of eco-

nomic analysis to examine how government policies affect not only the effi-

ciency with which the economy operates but also the welfare of its citizens.

Covers both the expenditure and the taxation sides of government activity,

examines public choice questions of policy selection and implementation

and, throughout the course, considers the equity implications of government

actions. Primary focus is on government at the national level; however, sig-

nificant attention is paid to issues relevant or specific to state and local gov-

ernments. Prerequisites: ECON 053; ECON 051 or 055.

The history, structure, conduct, and performance of industry as well as cur-

rently proposed industrial policy will be examined. After studying the evolu-

tion of modern U.S. industries and firms; monopoly, oligopoly, and

competitive structures; and anti competitive conduct among firms, the course

regulation policies, as well as recent trends to deregulation and reindustri-

alization. Prerequisite: ECON 053. Recommended: ECON 101.

ECON 157. Environmental and Natural Resource Economics (4)

The application of economic theory to natural resource and environmental

issues. Microeconomic principles are used to suggest what a proper balance

ECON 171. Political Economy (4)

This course begins with an examination of the ideology which underlies Neo-

classical Economics. Once the world view of economics is understood, we ex-

plore three specific “social/economic/political” issues wherein ideology plays

a decisive role in current debates. We look, first, at the topic of “Income Dis-

tribution, Poverty and Welfare in the U.S.” (including such diverse issues as

human capital theory, minimum wage and foreign competition). Next, we

turn to the topic of “Women in the Workforce,” (including the issues of com-

parable worth, the feminization of poverty and affirmative action). Last, we

explore the subject of “Environmental Economics,” focusing here on the eq-

uity/efficiency issues surrounding the economists’ perspective of the crises

and the solutions they offer for this critical world problem. Prerequisites:

ECON 051 or ECON 053.

ECON 180. Labor Economics (4)

Examination of labor’s role in the market system and the response of labor

and government to market failures. Microeconomic analysis of labor supply

and demand, wage and employment determination, and the effects of dis-

crimination. Development of the labor movement from a chronological and

theoretical perspective with emphasis on the collective bargaining process.

Influence of public policy on labor relations and labor market functioning.

Prerequisite: ECON 053. (Course also listed under Gender Studies.)

This course applies the tools of microeconomics to the study of health care.

It provides an analysis of how decisions are made by health care providers,

consumers, and third parties responsible for payments (e.g. health insurers).

The course is built around individuals’ demand for health care and the sup-

ply of services by doctors and hospitals. Topics covered include health insur-

ance, managed care and industry competitions, the pharmaceutical industry,

the role of the government as a provider of care, long-term care, interna-

tional health comparisons, and cost-benefit analysis/cost-effectiveness analy-

sis. Prerequisite: ECON 051 or ECON 053.

ECON 190. Econometrics (4)

A study of the methods used to test economic theory with real-world data. The

course presents the theory underlying common econometric methods and

gives students experience in applying these analytical tools to data from a va-

riety of sources. Students learn to develop testable hypotheses based on eco-

nomic theories they have learned in earlier courses and to make reliable

statistical inferences about these hypotheses. Students will gain a working,

applicable knowledge of the skills and software used by many professional

economists and sought by many employers. Prerequisites: ECON 053;

ECON051 or 055; MATH 037 or 039 or 130 or 131.

designated English Department members and guest lecturers.

ENGL 126. Literature and the Environment (4)

This course examines the impact of science and technology on society with

a focus on the environment. We will explore how literature and writings

from the natural and social sciences shape our relationship to nature, trans-

form our understanding of the environment, and engage in debates on issues

such as the construction of “wilderness” and colonialist practice, ecological

crises and environmental racism, globalization and sustainability, as well as

the ethical challenges bioengineering poses to society and humanity.

pacted such topics as gender, canon, reader-response and post-modernism.

ENGL 128. Science and Literature (4)

This class will bridge the gap between the study of literature and the study of

science as we explore the intersections between these two within the realm of

human culture that they both share. We will explore how the practice of sci-

ence is represented (or misrepresented) in literature and culture. We will

study the effects that culture and literature have on science, on scientific rev-

olutions and the acceptance of new theories. We will also examine how the

practice of science can be understood as “literary”. Our readings will come

Minors Offered

Ethnic Studies

Ethnic Studies is an interdisciplinary minor, incorporating courses offered

in various schools and departments. It provides students with multiple

models of critical theories and methodologies for examining the

intersections of race, ethnicity, gender, culture, and class in the historical

formations of the United States, with an emphasis on the experiences and

perspectives of historically disenfranchised populations such as African

Americans, Asian Americans, Latinos, and Native Americans.

Ethnic Studies broadens students’ major fields of study, prepares students

for interdisciplinary inquiries at the graduate level, and enhances

students’ employment opportunities in law, education, business, medicine,

government, communication, and social services, among other

professions.

Mission Statement

The Ethnic Studies Program at the University of the Pacific is dedicated to

interdisciplinary learning which equips students with the conceptual and

practical skills necessary for participating competently and responsibly in

all aspects of civic life, which contribute to advancing social equity,

inclusive democracy, and global citizenship.

Objectives

The Ethnic Studies Program’s Goals and Objectives consist of the

following: 1) to provide an opportunity for all students to gain a deeper

understanding of the relationship between social structure and the

experience of racial and ethnic difference; 2) to examine the problems of

racial and ethnic inequality as a means of promoting the pursuit of social

justice and equity 3) to investigate the intricate relationships among race,

class, gender, and culture historically and in contemporary society; 4) to

facilitate the incorporation of scholarship on underrepresented racial and

ethnic groups into the university curricula; 5) to equip students with

historical frameworks and theoretical tools that will enable them to

engage more productively in their respective areas of study, and to better

prepare them for their leadership roles in a democratic society; and 6) to

foster ties among all students of various racial and ethnic backgrounds,

and between students and local communities...

Minor in Ethnic Studies

In order to earn the minor in ethnic studies, students must complete a

minimum of 20 units and 6 courses with a grade point average of at least

2.0.

ETHN 011. Introduction to Ethnic Studies (4)

This course introduces students to the theories and practices of Ethnic Stud-

ies, with a focus on the racial formation in the United States, and its impact

on the experiences and social statuses of racialized groups, including, but

not limited to, Blacks, Latinos, Native Americans, Asians, /Pacific Islanders,

and Whites. Our primary course contents include histories, critical race the-

ories, media representations and critical studies. While California serves as the

major geographical location of racial formation in our study, the issues we

explore are situated in national and global contexts. Through a critical ex-

amination of histories and contemporary issues regarding the social posi-

tions of racialized groups in the U.S., we seek to understand “the irreducibility

of race in U.S. political and cultural life” (Winant 33). (At the same time, we

will examine the forces and conditions for social change and cultural trans-

formation. The contributions of historically marginalized “minority” Amer-

icans to the development of American democracy will be a major discussion

and research topic.

ETHN 189. Service Learning Practicum (2 -4)

As one of the capstone courses, the Service Learning Practicum offers stu-

dents an opportunity to integrate and apply the skills, knowledge, and theo-

ries they have learned to community-based service learning projects related

to their academic interests. Each student will work with a faculty supervisor,

who will provide guidance for the student’s experiential learning. While a

capstone course is strongly recommended, it is optional. Students can take

an alternative course for completing a minor in Ethnic Studies. Prerequi-

sites: ETHN 011 and another course in Ethnic Studies.

This is one of the two capstone courses. It offers students an opportunity to in-

tegrate and apply the skills, knowledge, and theories they have learned to a

particular research project in a field of their academic interest. Each student

will work with a faculty supervisor who has expertise in the student’s research

topic. While this course is strongly recommended, it is optional. Students do

not need to take this course for completing a minor in Ethnic Studies. Pre-

requisites: Overall GPA 2.5 or above, ETHN 011 and another course in

Film Studies

The program deals with film in the context of the liberal arts, with focus

on the medium as an art form. It examines film as a “text” which can be

studied through diverse critical and theoretical perspectives, including

such approaches as Formalism, Neo-Historicism, psychoanalysis, gender

theory, auteur theory and genre theory. Film is analyzed both from its

technical aspects and its function as a cultural referent. It accommodates

both high art and popular culture, both an international discourse and an

individual auteurism.

Students can take film courses to enhance their liberal education through

cultivation of critical and aesthetic knowledge, or they may use their

studies to enter a variety of professions. These include: teaching,

filmmaking, writing, work in the film/television industry, advertising,

computer software, graphic design, entertainment law, production finance.

Graduate programs in film, film and literature, and interdisciplinary

studies are available. Also, students may go on to technical training in

editing, cinematography, directing and screenwriting.

Degrees in Film

The goals of the Film Studies major are as follows:

• Place Film Studies in the context of the Liberal Arts where students

analyze the elements of film such as narrative, image, theme and

persuasive communication techniques

• Provide hands-on experience with film production in a variety of

capacities including, camera, editing, screenwriting, acting, music

scoring, and direction

• Provide students with the ability to think critically and communicate

effectively, recognizing the central role of film and narrative in civic

society

• Locate film as a cultural artifact that both represents and constructs

historical, socio-economic, political and psychological meaning

• Focus on film aesthetics, international cinemas, individual major

filmmakers, film genres, film history and key events in the

technological and cultural evolution of cinema

• Develop visual literacy for readings of individual films with attention to

editing, camera, shot composition, lighting and sound

The learning outcomes of this major are as follows:

• Identify and apply a variety of critical theoretical approaches and film

aesthetics in writing on filmic texts

• Create films using the skills acquired in the production courses

• Operate a variety of film technology including: camera, editing

equipment, lighting, and audio equipment

Gender Studies

The Gender Studies Program at Pacific is a thriving interdisciplinary

consortium of faculty and students committed to both a curricular and

cultural environment supportive of the study of gender. We are interested

in how gender intersects with definitions of nationality, race, ethnicity, and

class; and how gender identities are constantly redefined over time. By

exploring the relationship between gender identity and cultural meaning,

we prepare students to think comparatively, structurally and critically

about their experiences and impact on the world. The dialogue we foster

among the liberal arts, natural sciences and the professions enriches the

intellectual life of Pacific’s students and faculty, as well as our surrounding

community.

Recommended Course

HIST 001. Chair’s Seminar (1)

This course provides freshmen with some essential skills for success in either

the History or Social Science major at Pacific. Topics include study, research

and writing skills, internships and career planning. Along the way, freshmen

are introduced to department faculty, staff, librarians (who they will come to

know and love) and their fellow students.

Foundation Courses

These are designed to acquaint students with the basic tools necessary for

historical inquiry at the college level: critical reading and interpretive

skills, research methods, and an appreciation for the complexities of

constructing a well-reasoned historical argument.

HIST 010. Western Civilization I (4)

An introductory survey of the history of Western Civilization, beginning with

the emergence of classical Greek culture and ending with the Reformation in

the sixteenth century. The political, social and religious ideas of ancient Rome

and Greece have shaped European culture and formed an enduring legacy for

our societies until today. The course will examine the life and interactions of

men and women throughout the centuries and trace the development of po-

litical and social institutions in a geographic area that we know as Europe.

COURSE CATALOG 2011-2012

history

Studying this fascinating history of war and peace, destruction and great

achievements will help as understand what our present life has to do with the

past.

HIST 011. Western Civilization II (4)

This course is an introductory survey of the history of Western Civilization

from the sixteenth century to the present. We will explore some of the great

political, social and economic transformations that led to the Western world

as we know it today. The Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment per-

manently changed humans’ view of the world. Modern states and new forms

of governments emerged as the French and Industrial Revolutions under-

mined the political and economic order. The rise of nationalism and totali-

tarianism led to catastrophes in the twentieth century. After the Cold War, we

face new problems that push us to take stock of where we are at the beginning

of the new millennium.

HIST 020. United States History I (4)

This is an introductory level course in U.S. history. It begins with Native Amer-

ican societies at the time of European contact and examines major social,

political, and cultural issues in U.S. history through colonial settlement, the

American Revolution, the early national period, the antebellum era, the Civil

War, and Reconstruction. The course considers dominant cultural traditions

and perspectives as well as minority cultures and dissent.

HIST 021. United States History II (4)

This is an introductory level course in U.S. history that considers the major

social, economic, and cultural forces in American society from the Civil War

to the present. It examines dominant cultural traditions and perspectives as

well as minority cultures and dissent. Topics include the closing of the fron-

tier, progressive reform, industrialization and urban life, the Great Depres-

sion, World War II, the Cold War, Civil Rights and social justice movements,

the Vietnam War, and the Regan years. Central themes are the U.S.’s increas-

ing role in international affairs, political realignments, reform movements,

race and racism, diversity, mass culture, and the historical legacies of the

American past.

HIST 030. East Asian Civilization I (4)

A broad overview of the rich histories and cultures of East Asia. We will study

the timeless writings of Confucius, take a dusty journey down the Silk Road

and follow Prince Genji’s adventures in medieval Japan. Course focuses pri-

marily on China and Japan, but also nomadic peoples such as Tibetans, Mon-

gols and others in Southeast Asia. Students will discover that East Asian

civilizations were at the center of world history in terms of technology, wealth,

cultural sophistication, political organization and quality of life.

HIST 031. East Asian Civilization II (4)

Survey of East Asian Civilizations from the 19th c. to the present. Covers China

and Japan as well as Korea, Singapore and Vietnam. Focuses on East Asian

transformation from traditional societies to modern ones as a result of con-

frontation with the West. It examines their political, economic and cultural

histories and traditions, providing a model of modernization different from

that of the West.

HIST 040. Colonialism in Latin America (4)

Tracing the gruesome experiences of members of a Maya village at the hands

of their colonizers, the film Apocalipto aptly ends at the first sighting of Span-

ish arrival, but not without leaving the viewer with the sense that things will

never be the same again. Indeed, colonial rule would forever change the lives

of Indians, Africans and Spaniards in the Americas. This course covers the

history of Mesoamerica and colonial Latin America from pre-Columbian

times to Independence in the 1820s. We will consider the political, economic,

religious, and cultural history of the Viceroyalty of New Spain (present-day

Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean) and the Viceroyalty of Peru (the

Andes), with a limited discussion of Portuguese colonies. We will focus on

the social relationships between the three dominant racial groups, Indige-

nous, African and European.

HIST 041. The Problem With Latin America (4)

Since independence from Spain in the early nineteenth century Latin Amer-

ica has been plagued with struggles to achieve political stability, social jus-

tice, and economic development. Through an analysis of social movements,

this course will focus on salient issues in the history of the independent na-

tions of Latin America from the 1820s to the present and will emphasize the

development of diverse societies and cultures. We will examine issues of state

building, labor movements, inter-regional conflicts, and interethnic rela-

tions. We will use a variety of sources—films, lectures, readings, and dis-

cussions—in our attempt to understand how social movements shaped and

were shaped by economic and political forces. Finally, we will study how colo-

nial legacies, neocolonial ties and globalization have affected Latin America

and its people.

HIST 050. World History I (4)

A broad survey of ancient civilizations (i.e. Mesopotamian, Egyptian, Hebrew,

Greek, Indian, Chinese, Roman), social and economic structures and patterns

of trade, cultural and religious traditions and intellectual contributions. Sec-

ond half covers the development of medieval and early modern civilizations

to the 1500s. Particular emphasis will be placed on the decline of the Roman

Empire, the role and impact of Christianity and Islam, the European Ex-

pansion and global markets, and the European Scientific Revolution.

HIST 051. World History II (4)

A survey of World civilization from 1500 to the present. Focuses on patterns

of colonization, globalization and the impact of such forces as science and

technology, consumerism, and intellectual movements on world history.

Other topics include war, the impact of religious movements and the envi-

ronmental impact of modernity.

Global and Transnational Courses

HIST 060. A History of Medicine (4)

This course will begin by objectively examining ancient medical systems

across the globe: Chinese, Ayurvedic, Native American, and will come to focus

on the Greek tradition in the West. We will also discuss the transmission of

medical knowledge through Arab, Jewish and medieval Christian authori-

ties, and the impact of the discovery of the New World. The second half of the

course will trace the influence of the scientific revolution and the development

of modern medicine in the 19th and 20th centuries. Particular emphasis will

be placed on the subfields of physiology, nutrition and herbal lore; in the sec-

ond half of the course on anatomy, pathology and surgery. Biology, Premed,

and Pharmacy students are encouraged to enroll, as well as non-science ma-

jors. No prerequisites or specialized knowledge required.

HIST 061. Global History of Food (4)

The scope of the course will be global, covering civilizations of Asia, Amer-

ica, Africa, and Europe and how cultures of these domesticated unique sta-

ples, which literally enabled these civilizations to expand and flourish. The

course will cover history of the interaction of humans with food resources

from earliest hunting and gathering societies to the present. The major theme

of the course will be the process of globalization, imperialism and the growth

of capitalist enterprise and the cost of indigenous cultures and traditional

farming practices and how these processes were shaped by trade in food.

HIST 062. History of Warfare (4)

Taking a global approach, this course will examine the history of warfare

from ancient times through the present. It will look at how warfare was

shaped, and shaped by, social, political and technological changes. After

briefly looking at warfare in ancient, traditional and medieval societies, the

class will turn to the era of modern war beginning in the seventeenth century.

From then on, technological and social changes transformed the conduct of

war in many parts of the world. The course will end with a consideration of

nuclear capability and terrorism. In class assignments, students will have an

opportunity to pursue their own interests on a variety of military related

themes, events, or issues.

UNIVERSITY OF THE PACIFIC

HIST 065. Women and War (4)

This course takes an international approach to studying the history of women

and war. Our objective will be to better understand how women’s experience

during war has changed over time and differed for women in a variety of

countries. We will begin by studying the mythology of women and war, con-

necting ancient Greek war goddess Athena with present-day Hollywood de-

pictions of women warriors. Lectures will then focus on the theories

positioning women in war history, and will proceed with a survey of women’s

participation in several modern wars, comparing women’s experience in the

U.S. with women in other parts of the world. Finally, the course will end with

an in-depth discussion of several key themes in the histories of women and

war: domestic ideology, prostitution, nursing, soldiering, war work, and

protest/peace politics.

HIST 139. Borderlands (4)

The relationship between Mexico and the United States has been one of con-

flict and codependency, constantly changing with the shifts in domestic pol-

itics and economics on each side of the border. The Mexican and U.S.

communities located on or near the border frequently feel the strongest and

most immediate impact of this (dis)union. The borderlands are the areas of

intersection between cultures, nations, histories. The borderlands, straddling

the periphery of two nations, are fundamentally different from either coun-

try. Moreover, the border and its culture have many implications that reach

far beyond that region, affecting the lives of migrants, laborers, and, on a

larger scale, governments and the environment. This course will take a unique

approach, combining historical inquiry with analysis of contemporary issues.

Environment and Science Courses

HIST 052. John Muir’s World: Origins of the

Conservation Movement (4)

John Muir (1838-1914) is considered by most the “father” of the modern

Conservation Movement. This course traces his life, his conservation cru-

sades, and his global legacy. Home of the John Muir Papers, University of the

Pacific’s Library will be used by all students in the course for research on an

aspect of John Muir’s contributions to conservation. Field trips to the John

Muir National Historic Site in Martinez and to Yosemite National Park are

often a part of this course.

HIST 063. History of Science and Technology (4)

Almost every aspect of society, from the automobile to the Internet, from racial

and class inequality to gender relations, from AIDS to global warming, in-

cludes an important scientific component and has deep historical roots. This

course examines the global history of science and technology from antiquity

through the present. It seeks to understand how science and technology shape

human lives and how society and culture, in turn, shape the development of

science and technology.

HIST 136. American Environmental History (4)

Topical survey of historical roots of environmental crises in contemporary

North America beginning with western concepts of natural history. Main focus:

three centuries of changing American attitudes, policies and activities that

lead to the rise of the Conservation Movement by the late nineteenth century.

Tensions between users and preservers, and the development of an ecological

school of environmentalism since the 1940s.

HIST 167. Gender in the History of Science/Medicine/Technology (4)

This course introduces students to the literature on gender in the history of sci-

ence, technology, and medicine. Students will learn how to use gender to an-

alyze scientific practice and examine how it intersects with other historical

categories such as race, ethnicity, sexuality, class, and nationality. The course

explores five interrelated topics: (1) The historical participation of women

and men in scientific work, (2) the scientific and historical construction of

sex and sexuality, (3) the influence of ideologies of gender on the methodol-

ogy of science, medicine, and engineering, (4) the gendering of technologies

and artifacts, (5) the relation between ideas of gender, science, and politics.

Based on their increased historical understanding, students reflect upon their

own gendered experiences and expectations in encountering science as stu-

dents, laboratory workers, patients, and consumers. This course is open to

both science and non-science majors.

Pre-Modern Europe or Classics Courses

HIST 100. Renaissance and Reformation (4)

An in depth examination of the cultural, intellectual and artistic forces which

shaped Europe from 1300-1600. The first half of the course focuses on Ren-

aissance Italy, the second on the various Reformations: German, Swiss, Eng-

lish, Radical and Catholic.

HIST 101. Tudor and Stuart England (4)

A multi-disciplinary approach to the history of England from 1485-1688

which examines the social, economic, political and religious forces which

shaped this brilliant and barbaric era. Focuses on the personalities, noble and

base, which have shaped English history. Traces the development of institu-

tions (Crown Parliament, Church) and longtime trends in society and econ-

omy, intellectual and cultural history.

HIST 102. The Spanish Empire (4)

Covers the late Middle Ages to the 18th century. An attempt to objectively as-

sess the emergence of the first world empire, its triumphs and tragedies, and

its motivations for conquest: glory, greed and God. Social and economic forces

will be examined as well as disease, warfare, slavery and statecraft in Span-

ish possession throughout Europe, the Americas, and Asia.

HIST 105. History of Ancient Greece (4)

(Religious and Classical Studies Dept.)

HIST 106. History of Ancient Rome (4)

(Religious and Classical Studies Dept.)

20th Century Europe Courses

HIST 111. Europe in Turmoil 1900-1945 (4)

The first fifty years of the twentieth century were years of turmoil for Europe.

Two world wars left the countries in ashes and devastated the political, social

and political order of Europe. A communist revolution took place in Russia

that shook other places in the world. The rise of Nazism in Germany led to

the Holocaust. In between these enormous crises, there were years where peo-

ple hoped for a new era of peace, growth and democracy. This course will ex-

amine the origins of the conflicts, the course of the events and their legacy for

our societies today.

HIST 112. History of the Holocaust (4)

The Holocaust remains a unique and ultimately incomprehensible event in

human history. Nevertheless, or perhaps because of this dilemma, it teaches

us many profound ideas that we should never forget. This course will exam-

ine the role of the perpetrators, the attitudes of the bystanders, and the reac-

tion of the victims. We will look at the emergence of Nazism, the life and

career of Adolf Hitler and his helpers, and the implementation and execution

of mass murder. How did other countries respond to the Holocaust? How did

survivors live with the memory of the horrific events? How do we remember

the Holocaust today? The course will also analyze the portrayal of the Holo-

caust in popular film and media today.

HIST 113. Europe Since 1945 (4)

Since the end of World War II, Europe experienced a period of peace and sta-

bility unprecedented in its history. This course will examine the emergence of

Europe out of the rubble, the new postwar order, the division of Europe dur-

ing the Cold War, and the political, economic and social changes in modern

Europe. We will look at the building and the collapse of the Berlin Wall, life

behind the Iron Curtain, the break-up of European empires and the end of

colonialism. European life and societies changed dramatically with the es-

tablishment of the European Union, the students’ revolt in the 1960s and the

COURSE CATALOG 2011-2012

history

women’s movement. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, new hopes and

problems have replaced Cold War fears. We will examine these changes and

look at Europe at the beginning of a new millennium.

HIST 114. Modern Germany (4)

In the last one hundred years, Germany has decisively shaped the world we

live in. The country’s history is framed by two unifications; Bismarck’s uni-

fication in 1871 and the reunification of Germany in 1989 after the forty year-

long Cold War split. The time between these dates was like a terrible roller

coaster. Twice Germany tried to become a world leader and dominate large

areas of land and people. Both times it failed but not without first bringing

war and destruction to tens of millions of people. Good times included the

rapid industrialization in the last decades of the nineteenth century, the “roar-

ing twenties” in the metropolis Berlin, the miraculous economic recovery

after 1945, and the euphoric atmosphere after the fall of the Berlin Wall. How

can we explain these events and developments? Who are the Germans? This

course addresses not only politics, but also the social and cultural movements

that shaped German history.

HIST 119. History Goes To Hollywood (4)

This course examines how films shape our understanding of certain histori-

cal events. It will provide students with the tools to watch films critically and

to place them in the context of a broader historical time period. The films se-

lected will cover different time periods from the ancient to the modern world

and will portray a variety of national and cultural contexts.

Early North America Courses

HIST 120. Native American History (4)

Taking an international interdisciplinary approach, this course will examine

the history of native peoples of different regions of North America from con-

tact to the present. This course will examine how environmental change, dis-

ease, and biological vulnerability interacted with racial ideologies, economic,

and social factors to facilitate European conquest. While this course is pri-

marily concerned with the United States, considering the whole of North

America will enable students to see the similarities and differences between In-

dian experiences in a variety of regions.

HIST 121. Colonial America (4)

This class will focus on the period from European and African arrival in

British North America at the beginning of the 17

century to 1763. In a com-

bination lecture and seminar format, we shall explore social, political, and

environmental transformations as the new arrivals and indigenous peoples

learned about each other. The lectures will provide the over-arching narrative.

Readings and discussions will focus on a variety of communities as they strug-

gled to find stability and continuity in a rapidly changing world. High im-

migration (slave, servant and free), rapid environmental change and social

upheaval created an instable world that all had to navigate.

HIST 122. Revolution and the New Nation (4)

A study of the period in American history from 1763 to the 1790s. It empha-

sizes the origins of tensions between the colonists and the British government

and examines the course of the Revolution, considering the war’s impact on

all members of American society. The course concludes with a study of the

constitution and the first decade of the new nation, when competing factions

argued over exactly what they had wanted the Revolution to achieve.

HIST 123. Civil War Era (4)

This course will begin with an analysis of events and factors leading up to

the Civil War. It will then examine in depth the war years covering the devel-

opment of technology, leadership, military medicine, and the social experi-

ence of war for men and women, free and slave. We shall conclude with a

study of the immediate post-war years of Reconstruction across the nation.

HIST 124. History of the American West (4)

A study of the causes and consequences of America’s westward expansion and

settlement Spanish and French beginnings to modern times, with emphasis

on the people, the myths, and the technologies that have shaped western de-

velopment and culture.

United States Courses

HIST 130. History of California (4)

A survey of the Golden State from its first description as a mythical island in

the sixteenth century to the state’s economic and political prominence in our

own times. Native American beginnings, Spanish Mission Period, Mexican

California, the Gold Rush and its consequences, and Modern California from

World War II to the present are emphasized. Class participants select famous

“California History Makers” and present their own research with presentations

on notable figures in the State’s unique history from Spanish friars and ex-

plorers to politicians, inventors, scientists, Hollywood’s most influential, and

others in California’s Hall of Fame. Especially recommended for future edu-

cators, but open to all.

HIST 132. American Immigration (4)

Immigration and ethnicity are pressing social concerns in contemporary

America. Congress debates “reform” bills while ordinary Americans protest

current policy. While immigration policy issues impress us with their urgency,

they are by no means new. To fully understand where we are today, we must

understand the peopling of the United States. This course focuses on immi-

gration in the 19

and 20

centuries, exploring the experiences of the di-

verse immigrant communities in the United States. The course explores

causes of immigration; experiences within the US; effects of class, race, and

gender; and issues of identity. America’s changing understandings of race

and ethnicity over time are also central themes in this course.

HIST 133. Women in United States History (4)

The course examines the history of women in the United States from the colo-

nial era to the present. In addition to examining political reform, it offers

insights into the day-to-day lives of diverse American women at various points

in the female life cycle. The course is organized chronologically and the-

matically to promote the study of women in relation to major historical events

and to explore women’s roles in families, communities, the nation, and the

world. It examines cultural models of American womanhood, including ma-

ternal, domestic, sexual, and social models, their development and recent

changes. The course uses various primary and secondary sources to evaluate

both current and historical arguments regarding the status, roles, and expe-

riences of American women.

HIST 134. African-American History (4)

The course will examine the social, economic, cultural, and political history

of African-Americans and the development of concepts of race and racism. We

shall begin with the origins of slavery in colonial times, then on to the Civil

War and Reconstruction, the Great Migration to the North and West, World

War II and the civil rights era to the present day.

HIST 135. Women in Time and Place (4)

In the early twenty-first century news reports have covered the first main-

stream woman presidential candidate, the Supreme Court’s upholding of the

Congressional “partial-birth” abortion ban, mothers protesting the war in

Iraq and young women fighting there, and how women in the US still make

only 77 cents for every dollar men make. This course uses historical analy-

sis to understand several current “women’s issues,” such as reproductive

rights, women’s roles in wartime, political participation, sports and body

image, and work. The course considers the perspectives and experiences of

women from various social and cultural groups and sets US women’s expe-

rience in an international context.

UNIVERSITY OF THE PACIFIC

history

HIST 137. “His-panic” USA (4)

When writer Oscar Hijuelos first set eyes on the word “Hispanic” he read it as

“His-Panic,” believing that this group of people caused alarm to Anglo soci-

ety. Why do Hispanics cause so much panic? Hispanics have replaced African

Americans as the largest minority group in the United States. Major news

sources have written about the US government’s preoccupation and concern

with what “Hispanics”/Latinos do, eat, say, wear, and watch. Yet, and perhaps

what is at the root of the “panic,” the “largest minority” continues to be seen

as “foreign.” As a group, Hispanics represent all racial groups, while at the

same time, they continue to identify with their country of origin rather than

with a particular racial group, making it difficult to fit them into the United

States’ system of racial categorization.

HIST 138: United States Since 1945 (4)

This course focuses on the U.S. since World War II. We will explore how the

diplomatic, economic, social, and political changes shaped U.S. culture and

society. Specifically, the course examines the origins and characteristics (both

domestic and international) of the Cold War, the United States’ expanding

role as a super power, the struggles and legacies of the Civil Rights Movement,

the emergence of the “culture wars,” and the significance of United States’ in-

creasing racial, ethnic, religious, sexual, gender, and class diversity. Moreover,

we will consider past choices inform current debates such as those regarding

the war on terror, immigration, and social reform.

Asia Courses

HIST 140. Southeast Asia and the West (4)

In this course, we survey the history of the “lands below the winds”—mar-

itime and mainland southeast Asia—from their epochs of pre-modern great-

ness to the present. We will examine the lands of Southeast Asia as both a

regional and global crossroads. Southeast Asians were connected with other

civilizations through trade and religion early and consistently. Topics include

the glories of Angkor and Khmer civilization, the spice trade and the world

economy, and the spread of Islam. We then focus on the European and U.S.

colonization of the region’s states and their subsequent independence strug-

gles, with in-depth consideration of the Philippines, the Indo-Chinese wars

and the events leading to the world’s most destructive genocide under the Pol

Pot regime in Cambodia.

HIST 141. Imperial China (4)

For much of its history, China was the most powerful empire in the world. It

had the grandest cities, the most formidable armies, the best technology and

the biggest economy. At the dawn of the twenty first century, China is poised

to retake its position as the world’s superpower. What lessons does history teach

us about China as world hegemon? This course surveys Chinese dynastic his-

tory since its founding in 221 BC by the Qin Shihuang and ends with the last

dynasty, the Qing. Topics include the dynastic cycle, politics and policies,

noted statesmen and rebels, and borderlands history, including Tibet, Mon-

golia and the oases of Turkestan.

HIST 142. Modern Chinese History (4)

China’s modern history is dramatic. Civil wars, foreign invasions, revolutions,

high hopes, heroism, betrayal and bitterness marked what some called China’s

century of humiliation (ca. 1842-1950). The Chinese monarchy that col-

lapsed in 1911 was replaced with a constitutional republic that never man-

aged to achieve the heroic modernity imagined by its fervent patriots. The

People’s Republic of China sought to re-invent Chinese society from top to

bottom and create a rich and powerful nation. The grimly spectacular fail-

ures to achieve this goal left many disappointed. Today, China is still run by

a communist party but the newly assertive nation is now heralded by many

as the next superpower. In this course, you will gain specialized knowledge of

events, individuals and ideas that shaped this tumultuous period. We will

focus especially on the tension between westernization and modernization.

HIST 143. Modernization of Japan (4)

In this course, you will gain a broad overview of the processes, events and in-

dividuals in Japan’s rapid modernization. We will begin with a consideration

of everyday life in traditional Japan. The political, social and economic aspects

of modernization will be examined, in part through an intimate look at life

for a Japanese farm family. Japan’s modernization—as miraculously speedy

as it was—is also linked with the rise of fascism, a brutal invasion of China

and war against the United States. We will conclude our study with an in-

depth look at the U.S. occupation and the economic miracles of the second

half of the twentieth century. As a seminar, the course is designed to focus es-

pecially on conceptual and theoretical consideration of the facts of Japanese

modern history.

HIST 144. Contemporary China (4)

Since about 1990, China has been racing into the future: hundreds of mil-

lions of farmers have been lifted out of poverty as the country has grown to

be a colossus of the world economy. Its government has a growing “hard

power” reach as well as a sophisticated array of “soft power” initiatives. It is

sweatshop to the world but also a leader in high-tech fields such as solar pan-

els and mobile devices. Farmers in remote areas struggle to survive, while

globe-trotting nouveau riches fill China’s ever larger cities. This course sur-

veys contemporary issues in China since 1990, focusing on the environment

and population issues; foreign policy and grand strategy; and society and cul-

ture at the street and village level.

Latin America Courses

HIST 150. Women in Latin America (4)

The history of Latin America is still, in many ways, the history of male leaders

and heroes. This course analyzes gender as both a field of resistance and of

the creation and internalization of social norms. We will explore the gendered

roles of women and men in Latin America but will focus primarily on the

lives of women. It will also examine the institutions and ideas that have

expanded and limited their place in history and society. Through the use of

art, literature, film, and religious forms, we will study the cultural attitudes

that have affected Latin American women since pre-Columbian times to the

present. Topics include: Indian women and the conquest of Latin America, the

Virgin Mary, women and Revolution, and icons such as Eva Peron and

Frida Kahlo.

HIST 151. People’s History of Mexico (4)

This course surveys the history of Mexico from its origins in pre-Columbian

civilizations to the present day. In the process, we examine major historical

themes and developments—the society and culture of the Aztecs and Mayas,

the distinctive features of the colonial empire, the eras of Independence and

of Revolution, modernization and post-modernity—as experienced by or as

expressions of the actions and aspirations of Mexico’s people. That is to say,

this course focuses on the historical experience and struggles of Mexico’s di-

verse ethnic and social groups and foregrounds their roles in the develop-

ment of a uniquely Mexican nation.

Required Courses

HIST 070. Historical Imagination (4)

This course explores some of the ways people have thought about, represented,

and used the past across time and space. It introduces students to modern

historical practices and debates through examination and discussion of texts

and archives that range from scholarly monographs and documents to mon-

uments, oral traditions, and other media. This course is required for history

majors and minors and recommended at the sophomore level. It is open to

others interested in the historian’s craft.

HIST 160. The Capstone (Pacific History Seminar) (4)

The Pacific History Seminar is the capstone experience of the history pro-

gram. Students take this course the fall of their senior year or, with permis-

sion, as juniors. In this course, students write a research paper based on

primary documents from our own and local libraries. The course culminates

with the department’s capstone conference at which the students present their

research orally and submit their final research paper. Interested and qualified

students can later submit these research projects at campus and regional un-

dergraduate research conferences and use them as writing samples for pro-

fessional or graduate school applications.

Special Study Courses

These courses can satisfy the major requirement for any upper level course

depending on the topic. The section number of each special study course

(II – VIII) designates in which category the course can be used as a

substitute. Independent study courses and internships should be arranged

with professors on an individual basis.

HIST 080. Introduction to Public History and Museum Studies (4)

This course is an introductory seminar in public history focusing on local

and national history. Through readings, discussions, guest lectures, and mu-

seum visits, students will learn about various types of public history and

deepen their knowledge of historical methods. The course’s experiential learn-

ing component will give students the opportunity to talk with people who do

public history and try their hand at public history work.

Minors Offered

Civic Leadership

Helping Professions

Public Affairs

The Harold S. Jacoby Center for Public Service and Civic Leadership

encourages students to engage in civic life and leadership development

through varying curricular and co-curricular options including

opportunities for learning which introduce them to urban life and public

issues through community service.

Jacoby Center cooperates with the Governmental Affairs Program of the

McGeorge School of Law and the Washington Center in Washington, DC,

to provide off-campus semester long study and experiential learning

opportunities for Pacific undergraduates. Minor programs in the Helping

Professions and Public Affairs are also offered through the Center.

The Civic Leadership minor is designed to prepare participants to assume

positions of leadership in governmental and non-profit organizations. The

curriculum addresses significant aspects of management in the public and

not-for-profit sectors and invites undergraduates to study with adult

students currently employed in these sectors. Special attention is given to

the connection between the workplace and social science theory. Courses

are taught by Pacific faculty with the assistance of community leaders.

The capstone course is a field study, consisting in a research project

focused on public or community service. The program can be completed

in a year and is offered in eight week modules so that two courses can be

easily completed in one semester. To facilitate the participation of adult

students enrolled in the program through the Center for Professional and

Continuing Education, courses are usually held once a week in the

evening. Students must be admitted into the program as enrollment is

limited. Interested students should seek applications from the Jacoby

Center office.

The Helping Professions Minor exposes students to interdisciplinary

knowledge, theory and practice related to the full range of health, social

and education services for individuals and their families. The minor

enables students to explore career interests in one of the contributing

professions and the collaboration and connections between that profession

and other helping professions. Jacoby Center is particularly committed to

nonprofit and governmental organizations, and most health, social and

education services are provided through governmental and/or non-profit

agencies.

The Center also offers a minor in Public Affairs which enables students to

integrate studies in public issues with disciplinary study in a variety of

majors. This cross-disciplinary minor is designed to prepare students for

advanced study and professional careers in fields such as government and

public policy, education, social work, planning, and non-profit

organization.

Students in both minor programs are encouraged to participate in the

Sacramento Experience and Washington Center internship and study

programs. Students make application to these unique study opportunities

The Mathematics Department shares the University mission of providing a

superior, student-centered education. Education in mathematics assists

students in developing, to their fullest potential, their mathematical

reasoning, communication and problem solving skills. Students who

choose to major in mathematics will be provided opportunities to develop

strong problem solving skills using quantitative methods and appropriate

technology. They will understand the strengths, limitations and wide

applicability of mathematical modeling in a variety of disciplines. Students

will develop an appreciation for the discipline and esthetics of

mathematics, effectiveness in problem solving, and an appropriate

understanding of theory. Graduates who major in mathematics will be

prepared for the many careers in which mathematics plays an important

role, for further study in Mathematics at the graduate level, or for careers

in teaching mathematics.

Students preparing for careers in mathematics, mathematics teaching, or

for graduate study in mathematics should elect the Bachelor of Science

degree. Students interested in applied areas or majoring in a discipline

which uses mathematics should elect the Bachelor of Science in Applied

Mathematics. Students interested in mathematics primarily as a

component of a liberal education or as a second major may elect the

Bachelor of Arts degree. Minors in Mathematics, Applied Mathematics and

Statistics are available to students who wish to add this component to their

college experience. Students who choose to double major or minor in

mathematics or who choose to study mathematics as part of their liberal

arts education will learn the major methods, applicability, and spirit of the

mathematical sciences.

The Department of Mathematics also provides courses offering

opportunities for students from other disciplines and professional

programs to develop the quantitative skills necessary for success in their

chosen field.

Preparation for Studying Mathematics

Since many degree programs within the University require courses in

mathematics, students are encouraged to complete four years of high

school mathematics. In general this would include two years of algebra, a

year of geometry and a year of Math Analysis that includes Trigonometry.

103

COURSE CATALOG 2011-2012

mathematics

Four years of IMP or CPM mathematics are usually equivalent to these

traditional courses. Students with Advanced Placement AB credit (score of

4 or 5) or Math IB Higher Level (score of 5, 6, or 7) start college

mathematics in Calculus II while students with AP BC credit (score of 4 or

5) start in Calculus III. AP credit in Statistics (score of 4 or 5) is equivalent

to MATH 037. All students are tested for quantitative skills during student

orientation sessions. A quantitative fundamental skills requirement is part

of the general education program and requires passing an Intermediate

Algebra or higher level test during orientation or completing a college

level Statistics or College Algebra course. In order to enroll in mathematics

department courses numbered 033, 035, 041, 045, 051, 053, or 161,

students must take and pass a mathematics placement examination

appropriate to the course prerequisite. Some courses in Economics,

Chemistry, Physics, Computer Science, Psychology, the Educational

Resource Center and Political Science also have mathematics placement

requirements. Students will choose the test level to be taken in

consultation with their faculty advisor. All freshmen are tested. These tests

include placement tests in Calculus for students who have had Calculus

but do not have AP credit or do not know their AP score. The Calculus

(Form E placement) test is for placement only and does not award credit

for Math 51. Subject material for the examinations and sample questions

are available at the Educational Resource Center website.

For students needing additional preparation before entering introductory

college mathematics courses, the Mathematics Lab of the Educational

Resource Center in the Benerd School of Education offers developmental

skill courses in the areas of fundamental mathematics, algebra and

Trigonometry.

Preparation for the Major

The first course in all Mathematics majors is Calculus I, II or III

depending on the student’s high school preparation in mathematics.

Majors with AP Math AB or IB Math HL credit should start in Calculus II.

Majors with AP Math BC credit should start in Calculus III. Students who

are not able to start in Calculus I because of deficiencies in their algebra

or Trig skills will start in MATH 041, Precalculus. Students who place lower

than MATH 041 should discuss with their advisor how much extra time

will be required to complete their degree program because of the required

developmental work. Mathematics majors should be proficient with

graphing calculators and should consider taking elective courses that use

quantitative skills in areas such as business, economics, computer science,

science and engineering.

in French, Asian Language and Studies, or Spanish. Cross-disciplinary

degree programs with the Department of Economics, the School of

International Studies, the School of Engineering and the Eberhardt School

of Business are also offered. Some literature, civilization, film and

interdisciplinary courses are taught in English translation.

Classes, particularly at the intermediate and upper-division level, are small

and provide opportunity for a great deal of individualized attention.

The University has chapters of two national honor societies for

outstanding work in a language, literature and culture: Pi Delta Phi for

French and Sigma Delta Pi for Spanish. The Jan Good Award is presented

to winners of an annually posted essay contest in French or Spanish. The

MLL Annual Awards night celebrates achievement in all of the above

languages.

College of the Pacific Language Requirement

In order to promote an appreciation of diverse cultures and to encourage

greater understanding of the English language, the College of the Pacific

requires one year of college instruction (two semesters or three quarters) or

equivalent training in a language other than English for all students

seeking a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree. Students who transfer to University

of the Pacific with sophomore standing or above, or who seek a Bachelor of

Science (BS) degree or a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) degree, are exempt

from this requirement, but are encouraged to cultivate their language

skills.

110

UNIVERSITY OF THE PACIFIC

modern language and literature

This requirement can be met entirely, or in part, by completing coursework

at the College, at approved colleges and universities, or by a placement test

in the languages offered in the department. A placement test may be taken

only once. To fulfill the requirement by completing coursework, a grade of

C- or better at Pacific or a grade of C or better at an approved college and

university must be obtained in the second semester (011B) course. Courses

taken to fulfill the requirement must be taken for a letter grade. In

addition to modern and ancient written languages, students may elect to

complete the requirement in American Sign Language. Computer

languages cannot be substituted for the requirement. Individual

departments may choose to increase, but not to decrease, the level of

proficiency required.

While the University makes every effort to meet student interests and needs,

it does not guarantee that every student will be able to fulfill this

requirement by studying their first choice of language. The University also

does not guarantee that students studying languages other than those

offered through the Pacific Department of Modern Language and

Literature will have access to the courses needed to complete the

requirement. In some cases, a student taking language courses not offered

by the Department of Modern Language and Literature may also need to

pass an approved competency examination in addition to their course

work. As with all subjects, students must get prior approval before taking

course work or a competency examination outside of the University that

they intend to use toward completion of their Pacific degree.

Departmental Study Abroad Programs

Department-led summer language programs in Antigua, Guatemala and

Assisi, Italy offer students the opportunity to earn COP language

requirement and/or GE credits in a total immersion experience. The

Guatemala program offers both lower and upper division Spanish

language courses, as well as volunteer service opportunity.

Descriptions of Major Programs

The major requirements for all three majors and self-designed majors

within the Modern Language and Literature Department have been

designed so that students with no prior training or those with advanced

training are equally well served. The major requirements which are listed

separately under each language are the requirements which begin after

the student has acquired a strong intermediate proficiency in the language

and culture. Thus the primary requirement of any major is the acquisition

of the equivalent of four college semesters of a particular language.

The number of advanced courses which constitutes the major is kept

intentionally moderate so that a student has the opportunity to begin a

language in college. Similarly an advanced student will be strongly

encouraged to do coursework beyond the minimum courses. The extra

coursework that students will need for the acquisition of language skills

before they can begin the major will increase the number of major courses

which form the total degree, while reducing the number of University

electives.

Students majoring or minoring in all languages except Spanish who study

abroad for one semester may count up to 8 units of appropriate courses

from an approved program toward the major or minor. Majors studying

two or more semesters abroad may count up to 12 units of appropriate

coursework. Students majoring or minoring in Spanish who study abroad

for one semester may count up to 12 units of appropriate courses from an

approved program toward the major or minor. Majors studying two or

more semesters abroad may count up to 16 units of appropriate course

work. Students may petition the department to count additional units

from abroad. These petitions will be considered on a case-by-case basis. All

majors and minors must enroll in at least one advanced course in the

target language upon return to meet the major or minor requirements.

Only one on-line course may be counted toward major requirements.

All majors are required to complete the department-wide capstone course

in their senior year (except Spanish Pedagogy Concentration and transfer

students with a second major in the department of Modern Languages and

Literature).

Requirements for the Major

French

The curriculum in French includes beginning multi-media based

language classes, intermediate courses focusing on culture and language,

advanced language and composition courses, surveys of literature and

civilization, theme-based advanced courses covering French and

Francophone literatures and cinema, and other cross-listed courses such as

the History of French Cinema. All courses in French unless otherwise

specified.

The BA in French has two concentrations, 1) the Language and Literature

Concentration which requires completion of six French courses above the

intermediate level, providing background in French civilization, French

and Francophone literatures and/or film; and 2) the French Studies

Concentration which requires five French courses beyond the intermediate

level plus three approved related courses in complementary fields.

Approved equivalents of major requirements are acceptable, but at least

three (3) advanced courses must be completed in the French section of the

Department of Modern Language and Literature. One of these must be

completed upon return from study abroad. A student may take no more

Philosophy

The study of philosophy is at the core of a liberal arts education. The ideal

of a liberal arts education is not simply to prepare students for a specific

career but to prepare them for a meaningful personal life and for

intelligent participation in their communities. There are issues that all

human beings confront regardless of what career they choose or

community they live in, such as the nature and limits of knowledge, the

principles of right and wrong, the meaning of life, the truth of religious

claims, and the nature of reality. Philosophers raise critical questions

about these issues, and some attempt to construct comprehensive systems

that explain how all human activities fit together in a unified way.

Moreover, through the exposure to some of the great minds in human

history and the discussion of their ideas with their professors and peers,

students develop the reading, writing, and critical thinking skills that are

essential to a human being. In the words of the American Philosophical

Association, the study of philosophy serves:

to develop intellectual abilities important for life as a whole, beyond the

knowledge and skills required for any particular profession. Properly

pursued, it enhances analytical, critical and interpretive capacities that are

applicable to any subject matter, and in any human context. It cultivates

the capacities and appetite for self-expression and reflection, for exchange

and debate of ideas, for life-long learning and for dealing with problems

for which there are no easy answers. It also helps to prepare one for the

tasks of citizenship. Participation in political and community affairs today

is all too often insufficiently informed, manipulable and vulnerable to

demagoguery. A good philosophical education enhances the capacity to

participate responsibly and intelligently in public life.

Students choose the Bachelor of Arts degree in philosophy for various

reasons. Most enjoy the intellectually provocative and challenging nature

of philosophical thinking that opens their minds and has relevance for

their personal lives. Some study philosophy in order to go to graduate

school and eventually teach philosophy or to enter other professional

fields, such as law. And others take philosophy as a second major since it is

a good complement to virtually any other major. In all cases, the study of

philosophy is personally enriching and develops skills that are transferable

to a variety of occupations.

The Department of Philosophy offers different kinds of courses. Historical

courses survey the major philosophers and periods in the history of

philosophy. Specialized courses focus more narrowly on topics such as

applied ethics, religion, the meaning of life, politics, or the thought of one

philosopher. Systematic courses are advanced and deal with problems that

arise in relation to all human activities, such as the activity of knowing

(epistemology), the nature of reality (metaphysics), and the experience of

value (meta-ethics). The departmental offerings are grouped as follows:

A. Introductory Course: Introduction to Philosophy

B. Formal Reasoning Course: Introduction to Logic

C. Historical Courses: Ancient & Medieval Philosophy; History of Modern

Philosophy

D. Specialized Courses: Moral Problems; The Meaning of Life;

Fundamentals of Ethics; Environmental Ethics; Philosopher in Depth;

Philosophy of Science; Philosophy of Law; Philosophy of Mind;

Philosophy of Language; Philosophy of Religion; Political Philosophy;

Biomedical Ethics, Special Topics

E. Systematic Courses: Metaphysics; Theory of Knowledge; Meta-Ethics:

What Is Morality?

Typical First Year Program

During the freshman year a student interested in pursuing the philosophy

major is especially encouraged to take PHIL 011-Introduction to

Philosophy, PHIL 037-Introduction to Logic, and one of the following

Course Offerings

PHIL 011. Introduction to Philosophy (4)

An overview of answers that philosophers across the world have provided to

questions that most of us ask ourselves at one time or another in life, such as:

Can we know anything beyond what our senses tell us? Can we even be sure

that what our senses tell us is accurate? Is there a God? Is life after death pos-

sible? Do we have free will, and hence moral responsibility for what we do? Are

we merely selfish beings or can we do things for the sake of others? Are there

moral rules that all cultures and people recognize, or should recognize? Do

our lives have meaning without God and without some sort of afterlife?

PHIL 021. Moral Problems (4)

An exploration of some of the “big ticket” moral issues of our time, includ-

ing, for example: physician-assisted suicide; capital punishment; abortion;

animal rights; pornography; the limits of free speech; the legalization and

use of drugs; affirmative action; war; torture; civil disobedience; gun control;

and the distribution of wealth. The best philosophical arguments on both

sides of each issue will be considered, so that each student can decide which

positions are most rationally compelling.

PHIL 025. The Meaning of Life (4)

An exploration of one overall question – Do human lives have meaning? –

and the answers provided by philosophers, both ancient and modern, across

the world. Subsidiary questions include: Is meaning found in this life or in life

after death? What makes a life meaningful—is it what we achieve, or the ex-

periences we have, or our relationships, or something else? Is the meaning of

life something we make for ourselves or is it provided by some other source,

such as God?

PHIL 027. Fundamentals of Ethics (4)

An inquiry into the question “How should we lead our lives?” Each student

will be asked to reflect on her/his own moral commitments and how she/he

makes morally difficult decisions, and then to consider whether there is any

coherent, unifying system or procedure underlying this. The course then ex-

plores several of the most durable and influential philosophical approaches

to moral decision making, including the strengths and weaknesses of each ap-

proach and how each might apply to various real-life situations. Additional

issues might include: why we ought to take morality’s demands seriously;

whether moral judgments are mere opinions; and whether it is legitimate to

criticize morally the practices of other cultures.

PHIL 035. Environmental Ethics (4)

An investigation into various environmental problems and the ethical atti-

tudes and principles required to address them. Questions might include: Do

animals have rights? Do plants, or whole ecosystems, or future generations of

people, have interests, and if so, are we obligated to respect these interests?

Are humans part of nature, and is that which is natural always good? Are you

required to perform environmentally-friendly actions even in cases where

doing so involves some cost to you and you lack assurance that enough oth-

123

COURSE CATALOG 2011-2012

philosophy

ers will join you to make a collective difference? Can we can put a “price” on

environmental goods like clean water, a species’ existence, a beautiful vista,

and even a human life—as economists frequently try to do?

PHIL 037. Introduction to Logic (4)

An introduction to the basic concepts and methods employed in the analysis

of arguments. The course begins with some of the basic concepts of logic,

such as truth, probability, validity, soundness, proof, and consistency. Stu-

dents will learn how to translate arguments into symbolic languages (cate-

gorical, sentential, and predicate logics) and evaluate them using various

formal techniques. Time may also be spent examining the notion of proba-

bility and the character of inductive inference, as well as detecting and ex-

plaining common fallacies.

PHIL 047. Philosopher in Depth (4)

A sustained study of a single, highly important philosophical figure. Typi-

cally this will involve looking at this person’s views in various areas of phi-

losophy – ethics, epistemology, and metaphysics – and exploring how these

views cohere (or fail to cohere). The philosopher will differ from semester to

semester, but candidates include such thinkers as: Plato, Aristotle, Descartes,

Hobbes, Hume, Kant, Mill, or Nietzsche. (Course may be repeated with a dif-

ferent focus.)

PHIL 053. Ancient & Medieval Philosophy (4)

A survey of influential philosophers up to roughly 1500 A.D., such as Socrates,

Plato, Aristotle, the Hellenistic philosophers (Epicureans, Stoics, Skeptics),

Augustine, and Aquinas. Potential topics to be investigated are: What does

happiness consist in? Which character traits count as virtues, and how do we

become virtuous? What is the origin and nature of justice? Why be moral?

What are the aims of government and law? What is the difference between

knowledge and opinion? Does a divine being exist, and if so what are its at-

tributes?

PHIL 055. History of Modern Philosophy (4)

A treatment of central philosophers and issues starting from roughly 1500

A.D. Authors read might include: Descartes, Leibniz, Spinoza, Locke, Berke-

ley, Hume, and Kant. Examples of questions addressed: Do we have assurance

that the “real world” is as we perceive it to be? Is there actually a world that

exists independent of our perceptions? When does what we believe count as

knowledge? Does God exist? Do we have free will? Do we have souls? How can

we best govern ourselves?

PHIL 061. Philosophy of Science (4)

An examination of the main philosophical issues regarding the nature and

methods of science. Among the questions to be considered are: Can we clearly

distinguish science from non-science? Is there such a thing as a scientific

method? What counts as sufficient evidence for a scientific law? In what sense

are new theories better than old ones? Is science converging on the ultimate

truth about the natural world? What is it to say that electrons, black holes, or

genes really exist? What are scientific explanations and how do they differ

from descriptions and predictions? Examples will be drawn from the natural

and social sciences. No background in science is needed, though science

majors are especially welcome.

PHIL 093. Special Topics (4)

PHIL 106. Philosophy of Law (4)

(Also listed as POLS 136)

An analysis of the nature and function of law. More specific topics might in-

clude: the idea of law as an instrument of social control; whether democrat-

ically decided laws can ever be illegitimate; the extent to which we are

obligated to obey the law; the justification for punishment, and its permissi-

ble forms; the relationship between law, morality, and justice; the appropri-

ate role of legislators, lawyers, and judges; and the role of interpretation,

coherence, and precedent in judicial reasoning. Readings are drawn from

legal and political philosophy, social sciences, and judicial opinions. Not rec-

ommended for first-year students.

PHIL 121. Philosophy of Mind (4)

An exploration of some of the major issues and debates in recent philosophy

of mind and cognitive science. Possible questions include: Are mental states

just brain states? Are minds like computers? What are the prospects for arti-

ficial intelligence? Can non-human animals think? How essential are the

body and external environment to the character of the mind? Can the sub-

jective aspects of experience ever be explained in objective (e.g., physical)

terms? Could one person’s experience of the world be radically different from

another’s? How do thoughts get their contents? What is the relationship be-

tween thought and action? What can pathological cases teach us about the

mental? A previous course in philosophy is recommended.

PHIL 122. Philosophy of Language (4)

An investigation of the main philosophical issues concerning the nature of

language and communication. Questions include: How do words come to

have meaning? What exactly do we know when we understand a language?

Which comes first, language or thought? What are the functions of language,

if not merely to convey information? How do we sometimes manage to com-

municate so much more than what we literally say? How do metaphor, irony,

and other figurative uses of language work? To what do fictional names like

Sherlock Holmes refer? A previous course in philosophy is recommended.

PHIL 124. Philosophy of Religion (4)

A philosophical treatment of questions such as: Does God exist? Is it prudent

to believe that God exists, even if one cannot be sure? Is belief without suffi-

cient evidence morally irresponsible? If God is all-knowing, can we actually

have free will? Does the existence of evil in the world show that God is either

not all-powerful or not wholly good? Do we ever have reason to believe in mir-

acles? Do science and religion make competing claims? Do we have souls

that survive our bodily death? Does the very existence of morality depend on

God? A previous course in philosophy is recommended.

PHIL 135. Political Philosophy (4)

(Also listed as POLS 130 and POLS 132)

An inquiry into issues such as: the justification for and limits on govern-

mental power; the origin and extent of rights; the nature and proper extent

of individual liberty; the nature and substantive demands of social, economic,

and legal justice; the virtues and vices of various political systems; and ten-

sions between political goods such as freedom, equality, fairness, security,

and tradition. Not recommended for first-year students.

PHIL 145. Biomedical Ethics (4)

(Also listed as RELI 145)

An examination of the ethical theories, principles, and concepts that justify

decisions in health care and medical science. Topics covered may include:

physician-assisted suicide; termination or refusal of life-sustaining treat-

ment; abortion; reproductive technologies such as cloning, in vitro fertiliza-

tion, and surrogacy; the allocation of scarce medical resources (including

transplant organs); genetic manipulation; and experimentation on humans

and animals. Not recommended for first-year students.

PHIL 180. Metaphysics (4)

A philosophical exploration of the ultimate nature of reality. Metaphysical

questions include: What is the nature of existence? Of necessity and possibil-

ity? What kinds of things are there? In virtue of what is something the very

thing it is (rather than something else)? Does an object persist as the same

object through time and change? What, if anything, makes you the same

person over the course of your life? What is it to be a person at all? To what

extent are we genuinely free to choose our actions? If one could not have

done other than what one did, then how can one be held responsible for one’s

actions? What is the nature of time? A previous course in philosophy is

strongly recommended.

124

UNIVERSITY OF THE PACIFIC

physics

PHIL 182. Theory of Knowledge (4)

A study of the nature, sources, and limits of human knowledge. Questions to

be considered include: What is knowledge and how does it differ from belief

or opinion? What justifies what I claim to know or believe? How do I acquire

knowledge—via perception, testimony, memory, pure reason, etc.—and how

reliable are these sources? Is all knowledge acquired through experience or are

there truths that can be known by pure reason? Does knowledge require cer-

tainty? Can we know anything about the future (or the past)? Can I know

that there is an external world or that there are other minds? What is the na-

ture of self-knowledge? Do I know myself better than anyone else? Are hu-

mans really rational? A previous course in philosophy is strongly

recommended.

PHIL 184. Meta-Ethics: What Is Morality? (4)

Questions such as “Which actions are right?” and “Which character traits

are virtues?” are first-order ethical questions. Meta-ethics, by contrast, in-

volves second-order questions—that is, reflecting philosophically on the na-

ture of our first-order moral judgments. Questions to be taken up in this

course thus might include: What do terms like “good,” “bad,” “right,” and

“wrong” mean? Can these attributes be reduced to natural properties, such as

the property of being desired, or being conducive to the production of happi-

ness or social harmony? Do moral claims (such as “Lying is wrong”) state ob-

jective facts, or merely express personal or social approval/disapproval, or

what? If there are moral facts, how do we learn them? What is the relation-

ship between judging an action to be right and having reasons or motives to

perform that action? What is the relationship between morality and evolu-

tion? A previous course in philosophy is strongly recommended.

Physics

Matter, energy, space and time obey a few general but precise laws, which

are fundamental to the structure and behavior we see in our universe. The

evolving understanding of this over the centuries has changed our minds,

our lives, and our world profoundly.

The Physics Department helps students understand and explore these

natural relationships, their meaning, interconnectedness, and their use.

The study of physics includes mastering very broad fundamentals which

apply to everything from atoms to galaxies, as well as specific studies in

topical specializations such as computational and astrophysics. Students

are also encouraged to participate in undergraduate research projects both

here at Pacific and at other institutions during the summer break.

Degrees in Physics

The degree programs in Physics prepare students to think deeply through

questions, to find and connect abstract relationships to new situations, and

to be academically confident and broadly knowledgeable scientists and

teachers. Bachelor of Science degrees are offered in Physics and

Engineering. A Bachelor of Arts degree is also offered in Physics, which is

combined with the credential program for secondary school teaching. The

department also offers a Physics Minor, intended for students majoring in

other disciplines, who have a strong interest in Physics and the underlying

principles of science.

Facilities

The offices, laboratories and classrooms of the Physics Department occupy

Olson Hall. Labs are equipped with modern facilities for courses in optics

solid state physics, advanced experiments, as well as for the Introductory

Physics, Music, and Astronomy courses, including a 2.3 meter radio

telescope for student use. The department has two computer labs with PCs,

and a scientific computing (unix) lab.

Recommended High School Preparation

Physics majors should study enough mathematics in high school so that

they are prepared to take calculus in their first semester at Pacific. They

should also take high school physics and chemistry. Some experience with

computer programming is also very useful.

Bachelor of Science - Physics

The Bachelor of Science in Physics degree program is the standard

preparation for professional careers in physics and related physical

sciences. Graduates may enter industrial and government positions directly

at the BS level or may proceed to graduate study in preparation for higher

level research positions.

In addition to the Standard Track for the Bachelor of Science in Physics

described above, students may choose a focused concentration for their

studies, following one of the three Concentrations below. These

concentrations engage the student further in areas where our department

has particular expertise and resources.

Computational Physics Concentration

This concentration enhances the student’s understanding and experience

in using computers to solve physics problems and build simulations of

complex phenomena, using the department’s high performance

computing resources. Students in this Concentration are required to take

PHYS 127 and one other applied Math or Physics course, and their Senior

Thesis (PHYS 199) will be a computationally intensive project.

Astrophysics Concentration

Through coursework and projects using the department’s astronomical

telescopes (optical and radio) and other equipment, students in the

Astrophysics Concentration enhance their understanding of the Universe

beyond the Earth. Students in this Concentration are required to take PHYS

041 and PHYS 141, and their Senior Thesis (PHYS 199) will involve either

an experimental or theoretical astrophysics project..

Mathematical Physics Concentration

This Concentration is for students who are mathematically gifted or might

be considering a dual major in Math. Students in the Mathematical

Physics Concentration will be exposed to more advanced techniques and

aspects of theoretical physics. The requirements of this Concentration are

PHYS 137 and another upper division MATH elective, and the Senior Thesis

(PHYS 199) will involve a theoretical investigation.

Bachelor of Science – Engineering Physics

The Bachelor of Science in Engineering Physics is offered in cooperation

with the School of Engineering. The proportions of courses taken in these

two areas are roughly equal.

Today’s engineer must be able to understand and apply new and changing

technologies which arise from advances in fundamental science. Pacific

engineering physics graduates have a firm understanding of the

fundamental physics upon which modern technologies are based. He or

she is able to use advanced mathematical methods and problem solving

techniques to relate new ideas and scientific developments to practical

problems in engineering. By acquiring skills applicable for lifelong

learning, the Pacific engineering physics graduate is well prepared for a

competitive career.

Students who pursue a Bachelor of Science in Engineering Physics degree

are subject to all of the requirements of an engineering degree student.

Among these requirements is a work experience component called the

Cooperative Education Program. Students must complete 32 units of full-

time work experience in order to graduate. See the Engineering and

Computer Science, Cooperative Education for Engineering Programs

section of this catalog for more details.

Bachelor of Arts - Physics

The Bachelor of Arts degree program requires fewer advanced courses in

Physics and Mathematics than are required for the three Bachelor of

Science programs. Students complete six courses in Physics and four in

Mathematics, which allows time for a student to develop greater breadth

in other areas as is appropriate for a high school physical science teaching

credential. Thus, this degree is at present limited to students in the

secondary school teaching track. (Students interested in teaching

credential programs with a physics or physical sciences emphasis can

obtain the Teaching Credential Major sheet from the Office of

Admissions.)

The Physics Minor

A minor in Physics provides the student of any discipline with a very

strong understanding of the foundations of science and the workings of

the physical world. The study of physics teaches abstract problem solving

skills which are both of great benefit to the student, and impressive to

prospective employers.

Political Science

Pre-Law

Political Science seeks to understand, to explain, and - sometimes - to

evaluate how humans live and work together in public ways. To do so,

political scientists focus on what happens in and around government and

politics, how humans cooperate with and how they fight against one

another, why some nations succeed and others fail. They study voting and

revolutions, the Supreme Court and the United Nations, the idea of justice

and the nature of power, India and San Francisco, environmental policy,

criminal law and gender roles - all in the pursuit of clearer knowledge

about the characteristic ways humans interact in the public sphere.

Students majoring in Political Science ought to gain from it a well-

grounded liberal education focused on the knowledge and skills necessary

to understand the public realities of their world. They will have looked in

depth at the fundamental concepts and values that underlie human

decision-making, have examined the social and political structures and

processes through which such decisions are shaped and carried out, have

learned to analyze complex organizational and legal phenomena, have

surveyed the inventiveness of cultures in devising a variety of ways to

provide government. They will also have become familiar with the

contributions to their understanding that they can gain from closely-

related social sciences, such as economics, history, anthropology,

psychology and the like. In acquiring this knowledge, Political Science

majors will be challenged to extend their analytical and research skills, to

polish their talents for written and oral communication, and to sharpen

their abilities for rigorous and independent judgment.

Career Opportunities

The skills and experiences developed through a Political Science program are

central to a great variety of career fields, and our majors go on to work as

journalists and lawyers, managers and teachers, politicians and administrators.

One out of every six Americans now works for one level of public government or

another, and Political Science majors can have a head start in such fields

because of their understanding of how these systems work. Many of our

graduates go on to law school, and Political Science serves as an ideal major

for that training, as well as essential preparation for graduate study.

Internships

Special opportunities are provided for internships in public agencies in

Stockton, Sacramento, and in Washington, D.C. (as well as abroad). Many

of these opportunities have a legal focus. Course credit may be earned for

these internships.

Pre-Law Program

The Department of Political Science also offers a program and minor in

Pre-Law. For a complete description of that program, please see the section

on Cross-Disciplinary Majors and Programs.

The Pacific Legal Scholars Program offers honors students in various

majors a richly supported accelerated path leading to Pacific McGeorge

Law School after three years on Pacific’s Stockton campus. For a complete

description of that program, please see the section on Cross-Disciplinary

Majors and Programs.

Lifespan Development

The programs of study offered by the Psychology Department are designed

to help the student understand the behavior of human beings and other

organisms. Behavior is a complicated subject, whether it’s a high school

student trying to solve mathematics problems or a puppy learning to

retrieve. As a result, there are many ways to understand it. Behavioral

variety is reflected in both the course offerings of our department and in

the interests of the faculty. Students may study parenting, children

learning moral concepts, adolescents, adults who are depressed or anxious,

and people who have chronic health problems, all in one academic year.

This diversity of interests and activities is tied together by the faculty’s

commitment to scientific inquiry. Throughout their coursework, students

learn how to answer questions about behavior through empirical research

and theoretical analysis.

Several objectives can be met by studying psychology at the University,

including increased understanding of behavior, career preparation and

post-graduate studies preparation.

Increased Understanding of Your Own and

Others’ Behavior

Students interested in a liberal arts education may satisfy a desire for a

better understanding of themselves and others through a major in

psychology. The diversity of course, fieldwork and internship offerings

provides students with opportunities to study and have first-hand

experience with a wide range of human behaviors and problems. Beyond

personal development, the knowledge and skills acquired from this

approach to the major have application to a wide variety of activities that

students may find themselves engaged in following graduation, including

business, science, education, sports, and the arts.

Career Preparation

The department offers programs of study that provide the psychology

major with psychology-related employment opportunities directly upon

receiving the Bachelor’s degree. This involves specialization in a) applied

behavior analysis which provides students skills to work with a variety of

populations, or b) applications in business which provides students, in

cooperation with the School of Business, skills in the use of psychological

approaches in the personnel, training, and performance management

areas of business and government.

Graduate and Professional School

Preparation

Students interested in entering Masters and Doctoral programs in

psychology or professional schools such as law and education have the

opportunity to pursue an intensive series of course, practicum and research

experiences that can significantly improve their chances of admission and

later achievement. The program provides students with research and

hands-on experience as early as the freshman year, so that by the time of

graduation students may have authored or co-authored conference

presentations and research papers and worked with a wide range of applied

problems.

Whatever objectives students may select, they will find that the department

provides much more than traditional in-classroom instruction. There are

opportunities for direct work with children and adults in a number of

community agencies, institutions and businesses. Research experience is

encouraged through one or more of the several ongoing research projects,

and many courses have laboratory and fieldwork experiences associated

with them. As a result, students can become a part of the continuing work

of psychology.

Ancient Studies

The Department of Religious & Classical Studies offers students the

opportunity to study belief systems, texts, and languages in both modern

and ancient contexts. Some courses focus on the role of religion in

human history, experience, thought, and action, while others focus on the

cultures of Ancient Greece and Rome, and their lasting effects on the

modern world. Religion has been and continues to be a major factor in

the development of cultures and institutions, and is significant to

individuals as they examine ultimate questions and how they should live.

Citizen-leaders need an understanding of religion, and of the origins of

Western civilization. A typical course in the Department includes students

from various backgrounds and academic disciplines, thereby affording

significant opportunity for inter-disciplinary discussion.

Career Opportunities

A major in Religious Studies provides groundwork for students to be

citizen-leaders in various careers. These possible career paths include

ministry or a church-related vocation, teaching, journalism, publishing,

film, law, government, business, non-profit organizations, social work,

nursing, and medicine. A minor in Religious Studies, Classical Studies, or

Ancient Studies can also provide groundwork for these careers while

supplementing a student’s major field of study.

Course Offerings

Religious Studies

RELI 023. Hebrew Bible (4)

The Hebrew Bible is a central book of western culture, serving as a founda-

tion for Judaism and Christianity. This course surveys the biblical literature,

familiarizes students with critical methods for the study of the Bible, situates

the Bible within the literature and culture of the ancient Near East, and dis-

cusses the religion of ancient Israel. Issues of history and archaeology will

also be addressed.

RELI 025. New Testament and Christian Origins (4)

This course offers a socio-historical and literary introduction to the writings

of the earliest Christians. It will emphasize the importance of the historical

context of these writings and will investigate the ways these texts fit into

Mediterranean cultures. Topics include: the Jewish origins of the “Jesus move-

ment;” the formation of early Christian communities and their varying pat-

terns of belief and practice; the development of oral and written traditions

about Jesus, especially in the gospels and letters of Paul; and various images

of Jesus and their significance. Students will learn how to read ancient texts

closely, gain an understanding of the various methods of scholarly biblical in-

terpretation, and learn how to evaluate these interpretations critically.

RELI 027. Portraits of Jesus (4)

In this course, we will examine some of the different “Jesuses” that have

emerged from the “Quest for Jesus” through the ages, including historical

studies, art, and literature. Was Jesus an itinerant, charismatic teacher? A

healer and miracle-worker? A social revolutionary? Or is he an ahistorical

figure on whom we have projected our own needs and desires for two mil-

lennia?

RELI 030. Western Religious Traditions (4)

This course will survey Western religious traditions broadly conceived. The

Abrahamic traditions (Judaism, Islam, and Christianity) will comprise the

core of the course. Other content will vary by instructor and/or semester but

may include Mesopotamian, Egyptian, or Greek religion, Zoroastrianism, Eu-

ropean Paganism, Native American religion, or New Religious Movements.

RELI 034. Introduction to Religion (4)

This class is designed to introduce students to religion as an academic field

of study. While we can easily locate groups who identify themselves as Bud-

dhists, Christians, Hindus, Jews, Muslims, Sikhs, and so forth, we might ac-

tually have more difficulty figuring out what–if anything–unifies all of these

groups, and therefore what it is that people mean when they use the term re-

ligion. In this class we will explore some of the basic concepts and categories

used by scholars when they investigate the social phenomenon of religion.

All students will discover that this course gives them experience in critical

thinking, comparative analysis, and cultural diversity.

RELI 035. Judaism (4)

A basic introduction to Judaism covering its history, beliefs and customs with

an emphasis on understanding the Jews of today.

RELI 043. Social Ethics (4)

This course will examine several contemporary problems in social ethics from

the standpoint of religious traditions and philosophical perspectives. It will in-

troduce ethical and religious concepts and consider such issues as pacifism

and just war, civil disobedience, capital punishment, the distribution of scarce

resources, and the environment. We will discuss what selected thinkers say

about such issues, and how they reach their conclusions in light of their re-

ligious, philosophical, and anthropological convictions.

RELI 044. Sex, Sin, and Salvation (4)

This course will explore and analyze sexuality and gender in terms of ethics

and religion. It will focus primarily on historical and contemporary Christian

perspectives, with some attention to other religious traditions and philo-

sophical viewpoints. Topics will include such issues as sexual ethics, homo-

sexuality, sexuality and spirituality, gender roles and connections between

gender and ethical perspectives.

RELI 070. Religion and American Culture (4)

An examination of the way in which religion has contributed to the shaping

of American political, social and cultural life, and the way in which the Amer-

ican experience has in turn shaped religion. It will move from the colonial

experience through the awakenings,” to the emergence of new religions and

cults, the revolutions of the sixties, the revival of conservative Christianity in

the American political spectrum and ecology as the “new awakening.”

RELI 102. History of Ancient Egypt and the Near East (4)

This course covers the history and cultures of the pre-Greek ancient world,

namely, Egypt and the Near East from the third millennium BCE (3300 BCE)

to the beginning of the Hellenistic period (333 BCE). After surveying the ge-

ography of the area under study, we will examine primary and secondary

sources to understand the political currents and social practices of Egypt,

Sumer, Babylonia, and Assyria. Special emphasis will be given to the origins,

development, and social uses of writing / literacy.

RELI 104. Religion of the Pharaohs (4)

The past century has witnessed a fascination with all things ancient Egyptian.

From the earliest version of the film, “The Mummy” in 1931 to the traveling

art exhibit of the treasures of Tutankhamen’s tomb (twice!) to the millen-

nium party at the pyramids, the previous hundred years was marked by an ob-

session with ancient Egyptian religion and culture. This course will examine

the religious beliefs and practices of ancient Egyptians and the portrayal of an-

cient Egypt in popular culture. Topics to be studied include: Egyptian royal

and social history; Egyptian language and literature; mythology and cos-

mology; death and the afterlife; temple rituals and architecture; pyramids,

tombs and other burial architecture; the intersection of religion with ethnic-

ity, gender, social class, and political power; colonialism and the modern “dis-

covery” of ancient Egypt; and ancient Egypt in American popular culture.

RELI 120. Wisdom in Biblical Literature (4)

This course will introduce the student to the biblical books of Proverbs, Job,

and Qohelet (Ecclesiastes). These books share the common thread of teach-

ing people how to live skillfully and have incited controversy for millennia.

We will read these books in English, examine and discuss the major themes,

literary structures, cultural contexts, and issues in interpretation that sur-

round these books, and reflect upon their significance for several communi-

ties of readers in various periods of history. In order to situate these Israelite

books within their ancient cultural contexts, we will have opportunity to read

and discuss wisdom texts from the neighboring cultures of Egypt and

Mesopotamia. And, in order to appreciate the position of these books within

wisdom tradition, we will also look at some wisdom writings from Israel not

included in the biblical canon.

RELI 124. Ancient Judaism (4)

We will survey ancient Judaism from roughly 539 BCE until the Islamic era

(c. 600 CE), emphasizing the ideological importance of the destruction of

the second temple in 70 CE. Readings and discussion in primary texts (e.g.

Enoch, the Dead Sea Scrolls, Maccabees, the Talmud, Mishnah, and various

midrashim) will complement our historical investigation.

RELI 126. Ancient Israel in Its Historical Context (4)

This course will focus on the historical and cultural context in which ancient

Israel arose and flourished-from the early Iron Age (c. 1200 BCE) to the be-

ginning of the Hellenistic period (323 BCE). In the first part of the course, after

surveying the geography and political history of the ancient Near East from

2000-320 BCE, we will critically examine the historical rise and existence of

Israel in its larger geo-political context. Special consideration will be given to

understanding the relationship of archaeological, politico-historical, and bib-

lical evidence. In the second part of the course we will turn our attention to

“everyday life” in ancient Israel, that is, to various social and material ele-

ments of ancient Israelite culture (e.g., family structure, buildings, vocational

activities, art and music, literacy, etc.) as reconstructed from archaeological

and biblical evidence. We will apply what we learn to various biblical topics

and/or texts.

RELI 128. Social Topics in Early Christianity (4)

A study of one or more social issues prominent during the early stages of

Christianity. Topics will vary according to the interests of faculty and students.

RELI 130. The Christian Tradition (4)

An historical and theological analysis of Christian thought and practice. Con-

tent will vary depending upon instructor. It may, for example, focus on Chris-

tian origins in Greek and Hebrew culture, the Reformation Era, or issues of

theological reinterpretation for the 21st century.

RELI 134. World Religions (4)

An examination of fundamental religious questions as developed in major re-

ligions of the world including primal religious experiences in African, Aus-

tralian and Native American traditions. Also special attention to Islam, in

context with other Abrahamic traditions, as the fastest growing religion in

the world. Some attention will be given to historical development and to major

personalities, but attention will center on the religious questions as developed

in each religious system.

RELI 135. Asian Religious Traditions (4)

A study of the traditional religions of India, China, Tibet and Japan, at-

tempting to delineate the spirituality, beauty, and wisdom of these traditions.

It will trace the rich historical and cultural heritages of Hinduism, Buddhism,

and Confucianism, the Taoist ways of achieving harmony in the world, and

the melding of nature and ritual life in Shinto. Each semester one or two of

these religions will be studied in depth to investigate how they influence so-

ciety, politics and culture in the countries where they spread. The academic

approach is supplemented by practical learning of meditation, energy-regu-

lations and ritual.

RELI 140. Religion and Politics (4)

This course will explore the relationships between religious convictions and

political thought and action. The course will concentrate on selected eastern

or western religious traditions. Topics of discussion may include the state, in-

dividual liberty, economics, and war. Readings will introduce historical and

contemporary religious and philosophical perspectives.

RELI 142. Business Ethics (4)

This course will critically examine some of the social, ethical, economic, and

religious foundations of business activity, and consider some of the contem-

porary problems with, and possibilities for, business practice. Course topics

may include: an historical analysis of the rise of capitalism; religious views

of economics and responses to capitalism; the role of business in the larger

society; the relationship between the individual and the organization; and

the prospects for human community in a capitalist system.

science and technology. It will endeavor to help students understand the im-

pact of science and technology on our moral and religious traditions and in-

stitutions, and how those traditions and institutions in turn impact science

and technology. It will consider how technology addresses social problems,

and the benefits, possibilities, and further problems that it produces.

RELI 152. Confucian Traditions (4)

This course covers philosophy, literature, and religious beliefs and practices

of various Buddhist traditions as they developed over hundreds of years in

India, Tibet, China, Japan, and finally, Western countries. For each tradition,

with the focus on one or two most prominent scriptures; biographies of most

infuential practitioners; and evolution of philosophical, social and psycho-

logical ideas in that particular tradition.

RELI 171. Religion and Cinema (4)

A study of the way religious ideas, institutions and figures are presented on

film. The course involves screening and analyzing various films. The scope

power of cinematic images to define, illustrate, enrich and sometimes pervert

religious sensibility.

Sociology

Sociology offers students an understanding of social structure and

interaction and an appreciation of the complexities of human societies,

large and small. The program provides a groundwork for careers in areas

as diverse as criminal justice, law, journalism, social services, urban

planning, government, education and business. Specialized courses

prepare students who seek a professional career in sociology to pursue

graduate studies. Students are encouraged to work closely with the faculty

in developing programs best suited to their career goals. Whatever their

concentrations may be, all students of sociology should acquire an

appreciation of the manifestations of the human spirit and its milieu.

Career Opportunities

Undergraduate study in sociology leads to employment in a very wide

variety of careers. Many take positions in the social services or social work,

education, governmental administration and planning, the criminal

justice system or public health. Others have gone into the business world

or international affairs. Study in sociology provides an excellent base for

further study in law, business administration, government, public health,

urban planning and similar fields.

Course Offerings

Lower Division Courses

SOCI 021. Culture and Society (4)

An examination of the various forms of culture and their linkages to our so-

ciety. The course looks at what culture is and what it means to people—how

it links them together and drives them apart. Topics examined include how

culture is “created,” and by whom; what restraints are placed upon cultural

creation by individuals and society; how culture is manufactured and “sold”

to large audiences; subcultures and the creation of cultural identity; the dif-

fusion of culture both within societies and between them; the process of glob-

alization and effects of American culture overseas. Special emphasis on the

impacts of social stratification, class, gender and race.

SOCI 031. Deviant Behavior (4)

This course critically examines various sociological approaches to the study

of deviant behavior. Special attention is paid to the problem of defining de-

viance in a useful manner for sociological study—and not just as officially

illegal behavior. Most forms of deviance, ranging from major infractions of

societal norms (such as rape or child abuse) to less extreme, but still signif-

icant deviant acts (such as marijuana smoking or illegal file sharing) will be

discussed. In addition the political and economic elite will be examined with

respect to their ability to define deviance, their use of punishment as social

147

COURSE CATALOG 2011-2012

sociology

control, and the ways they are able to “hide” crime to their own advantage.

American data will be supplemented by cross-cultural and comparative ma-

terials.

SOCI 041. Social Problems (4)

This course is an exploration of the process by which various social conditions

become labeled as social problems worthy of policy responses. It examines the

various roles played by the media, government actors, activists and everyday

citizens in this process, and pays particular attention to the role of power in

enabling some social groups to label the behaviors of others as problematic

while deflecting attention from their own practices. This course focuses pre-

dominantly on the US, but also engages in comparative analysis with other

countries.

SOCI 051. Introduction to Sociology (4)

An introduction to the field of sociology with an emphasis upon study of the

basic concepts of sociological analysis, their use in the understanding of major

institutions and the trends and problems associated with the urban, industrial

and political developments in contemporary society.

SOCI 061. Urban Society (4)

What effects has the historical emergence of cities had on human social in-

teraction and public life? How do urban places structure social relations and

create identities and cultural meanings? This course explores the develop-

ment of the city and its effects on social life. Particular attention is paid to

issues of poverty, interracial interaction and segregation, suburbanization,

gentrification, urban development and urban cultural movements. Though

this course takes US metropolitan areas as its primary focus, but will also

draw on global examples.

SOCI 081. Introduction to Social Services (4)

This course will introduce students to social welfare by using various politi-

cal perspectives and provide an overview of social services. Students will gain

a comprehensive understanding of social work as a profession and better un-

derstand how social policies are applied to attempt to deal with various social

problems. The course will also examine the types of social services provided,

the client population targeted, the organization of agencies, funding mech-

anisms, and program design and evaluation. This course combines class-

room work with minimal fieldwork with non-profit agencies.

Upper Division Courses

SOCI 108. Food, Culture and Society (4)

Are you what you eat, or do you eat what you are? This course focuses on the

role of food in society, with an emphasis on understanding food in its social

and cultural contexts. Topics covered include food and nutrition; problems of

over- and under-eating; food fads; food sacrifices and taboos; food and social

and ethnic identity; and the global politics of food. Although beginning with

a look at American food ways, the course is highly cross-cultural and com-

parative in nature.

SOCI 111. Environment and Society (4)

This course examines the relationship between society and the natural world.

It comparatively analyzes theories concerning how humans relate to the nat-

ural world as well as the causes of environmental degradation. It attends to

the various roles of the biological and social sciences in understanding envi-

ronmental issues, as well as the relationship between environment and in-

equality. The course analyzes how various social systems, institutions and

behaviors contribute to environmental degradation, and highlights and com-

pares political solutions.

SOCI 114. Social and Cultural Change (4)

Why do some social movements fail to produce social change, while others

succeed? The goal of this course is to introduce students to sociological the-

ories of social movements, analyzing the reasons they emerge at particular

historical moments, and the types of political and cultural changes they can

produce. Through a review of case studies including the women’s, gay rights,

abortion, civil rights, environmental, and peace movements, the course will

identify key analytical questions and research strategies for studying con-

temporary social movements in depth. This course will focus largely on US

examples, though cross-cultural comparisons will add depth to our discus-

sions. Prerequisite: A course in sociology or permission of instructor.

SOCI 123. Sex and Gender (4)

The course material explores how various social institutions in contemporary

society shape our understanding of gender, sex and sexuality. Although

grounded in sociological analysis, the class is interdisciplinary and intersec-

tional in nature as many of the course texts are drawn from a range of so-

cial science disciplines. The lectures, assigned reading, and activities will

address how sex and gender are intricately linked to other social statuses such

as race, class and age. Prerequisite: A course in sociology or permission of

instructor.

SOCI 125. Sociology of Health and Illness (4)

This course is designed to introduce students to the sociology of medicine

and the delivery of health care, with an emphasis on the interaction of pa-

tients, health care professionals, and social institutions. Topics of examina-

tion include health care settings, provider-patient relationships, ethical issues

in health care, and trends in medicine and policies. Additionally, the course

will explore how race, class, and gender affect people’s health and illness;

how health policies shape the medical system, and how definitions, attitudes,

and beliefs affect health and illness.

SOCI 127. Family and Marriage (4)

This course explores the social dynamics of human intimacy within families.

Family life will be examined through a historical, cultural and political lens

to place the social institution in a broad societal context. The evolution of the

family is studied both historically and comparatively. Special attention is

given to the sociological significant of sexuality, changing roles of men and

women, intimacy, marriage and divorce, domestic violence, parenthood,

childhood and aging, and alternative ways of living together. The course texts

examine family life across race and ethnic groups, social class, religion and

geographic location. Prerequisite: A course in sociology or permission of

instructor.

SOCI 133. Criminology (4)

Analysis of the nature and distribution of crime; theories of crime causation

and prevention; examination of the operation of police and judicial agencies.

SOCI 139. Corrections (4)

History and theories of and current practices in institutional and non-insti-

tutional programs addressed to the correctional treatment of juvenile and

adult offenders. Prerequisite: A course in sociology or permission of

instructor.

SOCI 141. Prejudice and Racism (4)

Historical and contemporary forms of prejudice and racism are the focus of

this course. Social institutions such as the media, education, family and gov-

ernment will be examined for their role in fostering – as well as challenging

- prejudice and racism. Racism, defined by sociologists as structural and in-

stitutionalized forms of discrimination, with an emphasis on prejudice

against African Americans, is central to the course. Some of the texts will deal

with the intersection of anti-Semitism, racism, sexism and classism, allow-

ing students to consider how multiple forms of discrimination are inter-

twined. Although centered in Sociology, the course readings and films are

interdisciplinary in nature. Prerequisite: A course in sociology or permis-

sion of instructor.

SOCI 165. Social Organizations (4)

An exploration of the social structure of communities and the influence of or-

ganizations and social institutions on individuals and groups which focuses

primarily on the dynamics of community level organizations. Analyses of so-

cial service, nonprofit, voluntary, public, and similar kinds of civic sector or-

Core Courses

These courses must be taken to fulfill major requirements in sociology.

SOCI 071. Foundations of Sociology (4)

What are the basics of a study of society? An exploration of fundamental con-

cepts, theoretical approaches, empirical methods and fields of inquiry of con-

cern to sociologists. Students will examine various social issues, develop an

understanding of how our social world functions, and how our society is

shaped by social institutions. Introduction of sociological concepts, theories,

and methodologies to build on students’ understanding of the discipline. Re-

quired as the first course in the core sequence for students intending to

major or minor in sociology.

SOCI 079. Social Psychology (4)

Who are we? How did we come to be the way we are? And how does the way

we understand ourselves relate to our understandings of society? This course

addresses these questions through the field of sociological social psychology.

Sociological social psychology investigates how our understandings of our

individual selves and the wider social world are shaped through social inter-

action. Topics covered include the nature and scope of social psychology, the

structure of social interaction, the development and maintenance of the so-

cial self, and the production and influence of culture. The course also ex-

plores the ways that hierarchies of race, class, gender and nation shape social

identity. Prerequisite: SOCI 071 (or concurrent enrollment) or permis-

sion of instructor.

SOCI 171. Social Research Methods (4)

How do we study society? The review and application of the various methods

most used in social science research to design research projects and gather and

analyze data. Examination of the ethical issues involved in the use of such

methods. Consideration of the interrelationships between the development of

social theory and methodologies of data collection including experiments,

observation, interviews, surveys and content analysis. Student designed re-

search projects are a central part of this course. Prerequisite: SOCI 071 or per-

mission of instructor.

SOCI 172. Social Inequality (4)

Are some more equal than others? This course will examine the historical

causes, current structure, and consequences of social inequality. The em-

phasis will be on contemporary social, economic and political issues in the

United States. This course will focus on various group experiences of in-

equality due to race, class, gender, sexual orientation, immigration status,

nativity, etc. Various sociological perspectives and empirical research will be

applied to gain a better understanding on how social inequality is created,

manifested, and maintained. Students will investigate the effects of social in-

equality on society, and possible frameworks to reduce the level of social in-

equality. Prerequisite: SOCI 071 or permission of instructor. SOCI 171

strongly recommended.

SOCI 177. Theories of Society and Culture (4)

How does theory help us to understand society? This course provides a broad

overview of sociological theory at both the macro- and micro levels. The

course texts explore classic and contemporary sociological theories. Students

completing this course will learn how scholars define and use theory in the

development of sociological knowledge. Throughout the semester we will ex-

amine basic theoretical assumptions and learn how different perspectives

compare and contrast with each other. SOCI 071 and 172 strongly rec-

ommended.

SOCI 179. Capstone Seminar (4)

How good is your sociological imagination? The capstone seminar allows

students to develop and put into practice links between their sociological ed-

ucation and their social worlds. Students will consider the major, reflecting

on the sociological imagination they have developed, and explore the role

that sociology can play in their wider personal, professional and civic goals.

Students will present ideas and data to their peers, as well as to broader au-

diences. They will also participate in the assessment of the major program.

Prerequisite: Sociology majors with senior standing or by permission of

instructor.

Special Areas

SOCI 187A, B. Fieldwork (2 or 4, 2 or 4)

This course provides an intellectually rigorous experiential learning oppor-

tunity to majors. It is an advanced course designed for students who wish to

further explore sociological concepts through direct experience, observation,

reflection and analysis. Students choose a field site, generally an internship,

regular voluntary activity or work place, where they spend approximately 8-

10 hours per week. Class meetings help students to develop their ethnographic

research and writing skills. This course results in the production of a pub-

lishable or presentation quality piece of original ethnographic research that

draws upon thick description and analysis of the research site to extend and/or

challenge sociological theory. (Note: The course may be repeated for credit,

but will apply toward major requirements only once. SOCI 187 is a letter-

graded course.) Prerequisites: SOCI 071 and SOCI 171. 2.0 GPA in major

Mission

The mission of the University of the Pacific’s Department of Sport Sciences

is to provide a progressive, dynamic, cross-disciplinary curriculum in the

liberal arts and sciences tradition. The program aims to attract and sustain

students and faculty of diversity and quality. Students secure a foundation

of knowledge in the sport sciences and are provided with varied

opportunities for specialization and experiential learning. The program

seeks to exemplify responsible and meaningful community involvement as

characterized by the citizen-leader concept for both faculty and students.

Degrees in Sport Sciences

The Department of Sport Sciences offers programs of study leading to the

Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, and Master of Arts degrees. The

purpose of a Sport Sciences degree is to educate and prepare students for a

wide variety of careers in the field broadly defined as sport.

A set of required core courses provides students with a common base of

knowledge and understanding about the philosophical, sociological,

psychological and scientific concepts within the discipline. In addition to

the core, Sport Sciences majors must successfully complete one of the

following Concentrations: sport pedagogy, sports medicine, or sport

management. Students seeking a physical education teaching credential

may also earn units in adapted physical education. Athletic Training

majors must successfully complete the required coursework for the

Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE)

accredited program. Additional programs, which enjoy broad University

participation, include a wide range of physical activity classes, informal

recreational opportunities, intramural sports, and intercollegiate sports.

Upon completion of a degree in the Department of Sport Sciences it is

expected that students will have the capacity to: read, select and interpret

important information from sport sciences literature; write clearly,

critically and persuasively; prepare and deliver presentations effectively;

work and collaborate in groups toward a common goal; design and

conduct research studies using appropriate methodologies; identify and

apply ethical standards to the design and execution of research studies.

Facilities

The Department of Sport Sciences has the following facilities for use in its

programs: Baun Fitness Center, two human performance laboratories, an

Athletic Training laboratory, two gymnasia, eight tennis courts, the

Olympic-size Kjeldsen Pool and numerous playing fields.

General Service (Activity) Classes

A variety of physical activity classes are available for all interested

University students who wish to acquire new motor skills, maintain a

routine of physical activity and continue or start an exercise or fitness

program. The “how” and “why” of various activities are stressed. These

classes vary in course credit from one to two units, and students can enroll

on a voluntary basis. Examples are swimming for health, bowling,

running for health, volleyball, badminton, tennis, golf, basketball, weight

training, kick box, karate, yoga, aikido, kung fu, tae-kwon do, and self-

defense for women.

Students on the Stockton campus can apply a combined total of eight

units of ACTY 001-049 – Activities, ACTY 050-099 - Intercollegiate Sports

and THEA 005 in the Theatre Arts Department toward graduation. Up to 8

units of activity and intercollegiate sports classes may count toward the

COP breadth requirement. A one-unit activities class (ACTY 001-049) can

be repeated only once; no two-unit activity class may be repeated for

credit.

All activity and intercollegiate sports classes are evaluated on the pass/no

credit basis.

Degrees in Studio Art and Graphic Design

The study of art involves learning about the cultural and historical

significance of the visual arts and the development of visual literacy. This

involves a personal engagement in the creative process and acquiring a

more profound understanding of human expression. The department

provides an undergraduate curriculum that is appropriate for students that

plan careers in the field of studio art or graphic design and is responsive to

liberal arts students seeking to expand their knowledge and understanding

of the visual arts. The department offers two accredited degree programs.

These programs lead to a Bachelor of Arts degree in Art or a Bachelor of

Fine Arts degree in Graphic Design or Studio Art. A self-designed major in

Art History is available (e.g. Visual Studies, Arts Administration, Art

Therapy). Admission into the BA or BFA degree programs requires filing a

declaration of major form and consulting with a department advisor in

the chosen discipline.

torical methods including formalism, psychoanalysis, Marxism, and gender

theory will be explored.

Environmental Studies Major (BA)

Lydia Fox, Director

The environmental studies major is a liberal arts degree program that

provides a multi-disciplinary approach to the environmental issues and

concerns that are a hallmark of the early 21

century. It may be especially

useful to students who are already pursuing a major in one of the

contributing fields, but it may also appeal to students who simply wish to

consider the environment and its problems from a variety of perspectives.

See Earth & Environmental Science department for degree requirements.

Chemistry - Biology Major (BS)

Gregg Jongeward, Director

Larry Spreer, Director

Departments of Biological Sciences and Chemistry offer an

interdepartmental program leading to the Bachelor of Science degree. This

major is recommended for students interested in graduate work in cellular

and molecular biology and biological chemistry. It is also tailored to meet

the needs of students considering a career in biomedical research.

See biology or chemistry department for degree requirements.

Ethnic Studies Minor

Xiaojing Zhou, Director

Ethnic Studies is an interdisciplinary program. It provides students with

multiple models of critical theories and methodologies for examining the

intersections of race, ethnicity, gender, culture, and class in the historical

formations of the United States, with an emphasis on the experiences and

perspectives of historically disenfranchised populations such as African

Americans, Asian Americans, Latinos, and Native Americans.

Incorporating courses offered in various schools and departments, its

curriculum broadens students’ major fields of study, prepares students for

interdisciplinary studies at the graduate level, and enhances students’

employment opportunities in law, education, business, medicine,

government, communication, and social services, among other

professions.

cross-disciplinary majors and programs

Gender Studies Minor

Gesine Gerhard, Director

The Gender Studies Program at Pacific is a thriving interdisciplinary

consortium of faculty and students committed to both a curricular and

cultural environment supportive of the study of gender. We are interested

in how gender intersects with definitions of nationality, race, ethnicity, and

class, and how gender identities are constantly redefined over time. By

exploring the relationship between gender identity and cultural meaning,

we prepare students to think comparatively, structurally and critically

about their experiences and impact on the world. The dialogue we foster

among the liberal arts, natural sciences and the professions enriches the

intellectual life of Pacific’s students and faculty, as well as our surrounding

community.

See gender studies program for minor requirements.

Liberal Studies Major (BA)

Martha Bowsky, Director

The Department of Religious and Classical Studies offers the Liberal

Studies major, which is designed for students seeking a diversified major

program within College of the Pacific. It includes a breadth requirement,

students preparing for law school. The program includes a Pre-Law minor,

meetings and programs to provide information about applying to law

schools and the Law School Admissions Test, and an advisor for all

students preparing for law school. Since law schools prefer that students

major in a regular field, the Pre-Law minor is designed to complement the

student’s major with coursework that helps prepare for the law school

admissions test, and which also strengthens students’ skills in areas they

will need in law school.

See political science department for minor requirements.

Pacific Legal Scholars Program

Science.

Self-Designed Major (BA)

Cynthia Dobbs, Associate Dean

A unique opportunity for students who have special academic or career

objectives not directly met by existing majors is the “self-designed’’ major.

Students may pursue either an interdisciplinary program or a discipline

specific program of study as part of the self-designed major. In this

program a student will work with several faculty members to construct a

major organized around a particular theme or interdisciplinary course of

study or around a specific discipline offered in the College which does not

have a regular major program. All self-designed majors must be approved

by the Senior Associate Dean of the College.

See the College Academic Affairs Office (WPC 111) for degree

requirements.

Thematic Minor

Cynthia Dobbs, Associate Dean

Students interested in designing their own minor program around a

specific area of interest or field of study offered in the College may do so by

declaring a Thematic Minor. The student with a declared major and a

minimum 2.65 grade point average may select the Thematic Minor so

long as it does not duplicate or closely parallel an existing major or minor.

The Thematic Minor must contain at least 20 units, normally five courses.

No course may count for both the student’s major and the Thematic

Minor, and no more than one course may be completed outside the

University. Some advanced courses must be included.

See the College Academic Affairs Office (WPC 111) for minor requirements.

Vision

The Conservatory of Music will be the finest

music school possible, one which sustains and

communicates traditional musical and

educational values through its curricular

programs. Simultaneously, the Conservatory will

explore, develop, and employ new and

innovative means of communicating those

values, and will create and present new music in

both traditional and developing forms.

Bachelor of Music

Six areas of professional study are available in

the Bachelor of Music degree.

Music Composition provides students with both

a strong understanding and a working

knowledge of the creative and technical aspects

of music. Composition majors go on to a variety

of careers including composing, sound design

and sound for film, music technology

development, conducting, and teaching at the

college/university level. The Bachelor of Music

in Composition usually leads to graduate study

in composition or a related area.

Music Education prepares musicians for careers

as music teachers at all levels in public and

private schools. Music educators may ultimately

conduct ensembles and teach private lessons,

classroom music, music history, theory,

improvisation, electronic music and recording

arts, composition or music of diverse traditions.

Music education graduates may complete the

degree and California teaching credential is four

years.

Music History is an academic major within the

Conservatory of Music. It has a strong core in

the humanities and languages combined with

intensive Conservatory training. Students are

exposed to a wide range of courses in music

history, music theory and the liberal arts. Music

History majors may continue to the graduate

level in preparation to join and teach in the

discipline of musicology. Combining the Music

History degree with degrees in other fields is

encouraged to enhance career prospects in

music librarianship, conducting, performance,

or music journalism.

Music Management prepares qualified students

for a wide array of career options in recording

production and promotion, music products

management, music publishing, arts

management and administration, business and

legal relationships in the entertainment media

and a host of other interests in the music

industry.

Music Therapy combines the study of music

with study in the behavioral sciences, and builds

skills for careers as music therapists in hospitals,

special education programs, mental health and

rehabilitation centers, convalescent homes,

correctional facilities, development centers and

in the community on contract as specialists in

music therapy.

Performance Studies provide students a

foundation for pursuing careers as

instrumentalists in symphony orchestras, bands,

singers in opera and musical theatre, solo

recitalists, accompanists, conductors, private

and college teachers and church musicians.

Graduate Study

Music Therapy

The Music Therapy program is approved by the American Music Therapy

Association (AMTA). The Bachelor of Music degree is earned at the

completion of four years of coursework plus 6 months of clinical

internship (MTHR 187). One is eligible for the Board Certification

Examination upon the completion of the six-month internship at an

approved clinical facility. Students must be enrolled for at least one unit of

MTHR 187 during the semesters covering the start and completion dates of

the internship. Final grade for all sections of MTHR 187 will be given only

upon receipt of the final internship evaluation.

In order to complete the Music Therapy degree, students must obtain a

grade of B- or better in Music Therapy courses and demonstrate inter-

personal and professional skills appropriate to the clinical profession as

evaluated by the Music Therapy Faculty.

A student receiving a grade of less than B- in either MTHR 011 or MTHR

018 may not enroll in upper-division Music Therapy core courses until a

B- grade or better is obtained in each of these lower-division courses.

Each core course (MTHR 011-141) must be passed with at least a B- grade.

If a student does not receive such a grade following the second attempt

through a particular course, the student will be disqualified from the

Music Therapy major.

All Music Therapy majors are required to demonstrate functional

proficiencies on piano, guitar, and voice before enrolling in the senior level

capstone courses MTHR 141, 142, and 150 section 02. Voice competencies

are assessed in the mandatory MAPP 001E voice class and during

fieldwork. All students, regardless of major instrument, must complete the

voice class, pass all parts of the piano functional examination, and both

beginning and advanced level functional guitar examinations. These

examinations are given within the functional courses, but may also be

passed at the examination time offered at the end of each semester.
