Note: The Department of Mathematics and Statistics is expected to split into two departments - the Department of Mathematics and the Department of Statistics - in July 1996.

The Graduate Faculty offers various opportunities for study and research in mathematics. Degree programs lead to the Master of Arts, Master of Science, Master of Arts and Master of Science in Applied Mathematics or Applied Statistics, and the Doctor of Philosophy. These may be pursued by full-time and part-time students. Dual master's and/or doctoral programs exist with other branches of the University such as biostatistics, computer science, engineering, and philosophy. The department also provides service to students engaged in graduate studies in other disciplines requiring mathematics and statistics. Finally, the department serves the community by providing mathematics and statistics education to those not necessarily pursuing a graduate degree program. Full details of all programs and departmental regulations are contained in the brochure, Graduate Study in Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Pittsburgh, obtainable from 301 Thackeray Hall or by telephoning 624-1175.

The research interests of the department are wide and varied. These include algebra, applied analysis, classical and functional analysis, complex variables, differential equations, geometry and relativity theory, logic and foundations, applied mathematics and numerical analysis, general topology, reliability theory, applied probability theory, multivariate analysis, statistical inference, and time series.

The department has a departmental library, which contains more than 18,000 volumes, 951 microfilms, and 225 research journals. Computer access to databases such as Mathematical Reviews is available to all students and faculty. The department's Institute for Computational Mathematics and Applications operates a research computer laboratory and collaborates with several other science departments. The Center for Statistics is also a part of the department; this center is involved in statistical consulting and research.

Degree Programs
The department offers degrees in mathematics and statistics. Within the limitations of course availability, students may study those subjects most suited to their own interests and needs. In addition, the department has MA and MS programs in applied mathematics and in applied statistics. Successful completion of one of these will prepare the student for employment in a wide variety of specialized occupations or for doctoral work in one of these areas. These programs are more structured in their requirements, and the interested student should obtain the brochures from the department that explain the requirements. The minimal requirements for the degrees established by the Graduate Faculty of the University and by the Office of Graduate Studies, Faculty of Arts and Sciences, as described elsewhere in this bulletin, should be read in conjunction with the specific departmental requirements for these degrees in the following sections.


Admission. Students who plan theoretical studies should have a bachelor's degree in mathematics or statistics. However, for those pursuing applied mathematics or applied statistics, the bachelor's degree may be in a variety of related areas. It is desirable that the student's background include courses in calculus, linear and abstract algebra, differential equations, probability and statistics, geometry, and real and complex analysis. Students lacking preparation in some of these subjects may be required to take the appropriate courses to meet the prerequisites for certain graduate courses.


Master of Arts. Departmental requirements for the MA degree in mathematics are the completion of at least eight mathematics and/or statistics courses and an oral comprehensive examination. Five of the eight courses must be taken at the 2000-3000 level; the remaining ones may be those given by the department at the 1000 level or those cross-listed with other departments. As there are no other course requirements, the student may pursue a highly specialized program of study. Equally possible is a more traditional program providing a broader spectrum of subjects. The well-prepared student carrying a full schedule can complete the degree in a year. An MS option is available that requires a thesis. Full-time students who are also working for the department as teaching assistants may require an additional year. Part-time students are allowed up to four calendar years to complete all requirements (statute of limitations).

The programs that lead to the master's degree in applied mathematics or applied statistics contain several tracks, each having a selection of required and elective courses. An MS option is available that requires a thesis. For details of the programs, the departmental brochure should be consulted. The department also offers dual-degree programs at the master's level, which enable a student to coordinate studies in mathematics and statistics with those in a discipline exploiting their application. The degree objective in such programs is the Master of Science in mathematics and statistics and a master's degree in some other area of the student's choosing. For current information, consult the departmental brochure.


Doctor of Philosophy. The main requirement for the PhD degree in mathematics is the successful completion and defense of a dissertation embodying an extended original investigation and containing a definite contribution to the field. Prior to embarking upon the research, candidates are expected to pass an oral comprehensive examination demonstrating preparation for research in a chosen area of mathematics or statistics. Additionally, they must pass a written preliminary examination on advanced linear algebra and multivariable calculus, as well as a written comprehensive examination on two specialized subjects required by the sections of applied mathematics, pure mathematics, or statistics chosen by the candidate. Usually, these two examinations should be passed within the first two years of full-time study.

A demonstrated ability to read mathematics in two languages from among German, Russian, French, and Italian, rounds out the departmental requirements for the doctorate. Most candidates will require from three to five years of full-time study to complete the degree. Part-time students may be allowed as many as ten years to finish all requirements. (See Statute of Limitations.)

Additional information and details concerning examinations, requirements, and the advising system can be found in the departmental brochure.

Courses
Courses in the 1000 series are advanced undergraduate courses that are frequently suitable for graduate credit. Those in the 3000 series are advanced graduate courses. Course content, prerequisites, frequency of offering, and requirements may change from year to year. Detailed information can be found in the CAS and FAS Course Descriptions, which are published each term prior to registration.

The Department of Music offers a stimulating environment in which to make music through composition, improvisation, and performance, to explore music's meaning in the structure of individual works and in the relations between them, and to study the function and meaning of music within its social, cultural, and historical contexts. Toward that end, the department offers Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy programs in three fields of study: composition and theory, ethnomusicology, and historical musicology. Although the curriculum in each field is specialized, the faculty and students work closely together, and the programs are closely interconnected through a series of interdisciplinary proseminars.

Financial Assistance and Admissions
The department makes every effort to offer financial assistance to all worthy applicants. Some awards are made by the Faculty of Arts and Sciences on the basis of interdepartmental competition among all applicants. Teaching fellowships and teaching assistantships fall under the jurisdiction of the department. Most fellowships and assistantships are renewable on a year-to-year basis. In recent years, students in good standing have continued to receive support through the third year of study.

Deadlines: Applicants who wish to be considered for financial assistance must ensure that their application and all supporting materials have arrived at the Department of Music no later than 1 February. Candidates who do not wish to be considered for financial assistance may apply for admission in the fall term no later than 15 March.

Mid-Year Applications: The Department discourages admission in the spring term but will consider it under special circumstances. Financial assistance is not generally available for students entering the program in the spring term. Prospective applicants who wish to be admitted in mid-year should discuss their circumstances with the Director of Graduate Studies. The closing date for applications for admission to the spring term is 1 November.

Components of the Application: An application to the MA or PhD program must contain each of the following components:

1. The application form (two copies).

2. Official transcripts of all undergraduate and graduate work (two copies).

3. At least three letters of recommendation.

4. Certified scores on the Graduate Record Examination, including verbal, quantitative, analytical, and music subject examination. (The GRE must be taken in October or December; scores for examinations taken in April will not be sent to us in time to be taken into account.)

5. At least two papers on an analytical, historical, or theoretical topic; applicants in composition and theory should submit at least two scores and (if possible) tapes of recent compositions, together with one paper on an analytical or theoretical topic.

6. The entrance examination. (A form is provided with the application materials whereby applicants identify a member of the faculty at their home institution who is willing to proctor the entrance examination. These forms should be returned to the Department of Music no later than 15 December.)

Program in Composition and Theory
The MA and PhD programs in composition and theory are based upon the conviction that the invention and analysis of music are related activities. The curriculum stresses training in the craft of composition (individual instruction forms a large part of the course work) while developing in the student a broad knowledge of the contemporary repertory and an ability to formulate abstractions from existing music.

The Department's resources include several computer studios, each with a variety of synthesizers, samplers, and signal processors. Digital recording equipment and computer notation programs and facilities are available.

The Department actively promotes the performance of new music through its concert series "Music on the Edge," which has featured such professional musicians and ensembles as the Pro Arte Quartet, the Lion's Gate Trio, violinist Rolf Schulte, and the California E.A.R. Unit. All degree candidates in composition and theory are assured of the public performance of at least one work in each academic year.

Program in Ethnomusicology
The program of study in ethnomusicology prepares scholars for research and teaching. The training includes a thorough study of the history and theory of the discipline, methods and techniques of research, cultural theory, a general exposure to world music, a specialized study of one or more particular repertories and/or the musical behavior of one particular cultural entity, and faculty guidance in original research. The program is especially strong in African music, African-American music, American music, Chinese music, global popular music, jazz, and the music of Southeast Asia. The program maintains a balance between the humanistic and social sciences perspectives, and it recognizes the importance of performance as a tool for scholarly investigation.

The ethnomusicology program is supported by a computer-assisted musical analysis laboratory, containing a Quadra 650 computer with signalized sound analysis software, a portable DAT recorder, tape duplicating and dubbing equipment, and a mixing board. The Department owns the Cunningham Collection of world musical instruments; a large Javanese gamelan consisting of about 40 instruments, mostly gongs and gong chimes; Chinese string and wind instruments; and a large collection of West African percussion instruments.

Students have an opportunity to participate in a variety of performing groups, including the African Drumming Ensemble, the Chinese Music Ensemble, the Javanese Gamelan Ensemble, and the Latin American Drumming Ensemble. The Jazz Ensemble offers composing, performing, and arranging experience for students studying jazz. The annual Jazz Seminar brings internationally noted performers to the University for a week of conferences and performances.

Students in ethnomusicology benefit also from the University's strong area studies programs, particularly the Africana Studies Program, Asian Studies Program, the Center for Latin American Studies, and the Center for Russian and East European Studies. Moreover, in collaboration with the Indian Council for Cultural Relationships, the Department brings leading musicians from India to campus each year for concerts, lectures, and workshops.

Program in Historical Musicology
The program of study in historical musicology reflects the wide-ranging interest and diverse methodological approaches of the faculty. The curriculum combines training in the primary tools of the discipline - including criticism and analysis, codicology and source study, and historical performance practices - with the study of music in its larger cultural and societal contexts. Accordingly, the program is not bound solely to the study of music from the Western art-music tradition; students may choose to work on topics in American, popular, and traditional musics as well. At the same time, performance in University ensembles, including the Collegium Musicum, Collegiate Chorale, and University Chamber Orchestra, is encouraged.

The primary resources for the program include the Theodore M. Finney Music Library, located in the Music Building, and the Art and Music Division of the nearby Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh. Both libraries contain a general music research collection. They also have several collections of important primary materials, including early American hymnals and tunebooks, binder's volumes of sheet music with regional significance, 17th- and 18th-century manuscripts and prints of English sacred and secular works, and many printed editions dating from 1550 to 1800. The Music Library contains the music from the estates of Ethelbert Nevin, Adolf Forster, Fidelis Zitterbart, and William Steinberg. In addition, the Foster Hall Collection in the Stephen Foster Memorial contains one of the most significant repositories of 19th- and early 20th-century American music in the country.

Curriculum
At the master's level, students in all three programs enroll in a common series of proseminars. These are basic courses that deal largely with methods in scholarly research and provide the student with an introduction to the various disciplines represented within the department. The series comprises:

Music 2111. Principles of Research and Bibliography.

Music 2121. Introduction to Ethnomusicology.

Music 2131. Introduction to Historical Musicology.

Music 2141. Musical Analysis.

Much of the remainder of the curriculum at the master's level consists of more specialized courses. Students in Composition and Theory select private tutorials in composition and analysis and practical courses in orchestration and electroacoustic music; students in Ethnomusicology select from both area courses and seminars and topical courses and seminars; students in Historical Musicology select from topical seminars.

Doctoral candidates in all three programs have considerable flexibility in their selection of courses. They are free to take additional courses in music, to arrange courses of Directed Study with particular members of the Faculty (Music 3902), or to enroll in a wide range of graduate courses outside the department.

Course Requirement for the MA
Composition and Theory
Thirty credits are required, as follows:

Four proseminars (12 credits).
Three terms of Composition and Analysis Tutorial (Music 2631) (9 credits).

Two additional courses, selected from Instrumentation and Orchestration (Music 1431), Electronic and Computer Music (Music 1441/1442), or any graduate courses either within or outside the Department of Music (6 credits).

Course Requirement for the PhD in Composition and Theory, Ethnomusicology, and Historical Musicology

Forty-two additional credits are required beyond the thirty required for the MA degree, of which a maximum number of six credits may be in guided reading in preparation for the comprehensive examination (Music 2990) and a maximum number of eighteen credits may be in preparation of the Doctoral dissertation (Music 3000). They may consist of any graduate courses or any courses of individually guided Directed Study within or outside the Department of Music, chosen in consultation with the major advisor.

Language Requirement
Composition. For the PhD degree, a reading knowledge of one language besides English, chosen in consultation with the major advisor, is required.

Ethnomusicology. For the PhD degree, a reading knowledge of one language besides English relevant to the field of specialization, chosen in consultation with the major advisor, is required.

Historical Musicology. For the MA degree, a reading knowledge of German, French, Italian, or Latin is required. In special circumstances, another language may be substituted. For the PhD degree, a reading knowledge of two languages besides English is required; one of the two languages must be German.

Preliminary Evaluation
A formal evaluation of each student, intended to identify those students who may be expected to complete the PhD degree as well as to reveal areas of weakness in the student's preparation that need to be remedied, is made at the end of the first year in residence. For that purpose, each student meets with a faculty committee for an evaluation of his or her record of performance on the basis of grades and reports from the student's instructors.

Comprehensive Examination
Composition. A comprehensive examination in analysis, 20th-century musical language, and instrumentation and orchestration, normally taken during the third year in residence, serves as the examination for admission to doctoral study.

Ethnomusicology. A written comprehensive examination in the history, theory, and methodology of ethnomusicology, world music, and analysis, normally taken during the third year in residence, serves as the examination for admission to doctoral study.

Historical Musicology. A written comprehensive examination in the history of Western music and in musical analysis, normally taken during the third year in residence, serves as the examination for admission to doctoral study.

Admission to Candidacy for the PhD degree
After passing the Comprehensive Examination, each student seeking Admission to Candidacy for the PhD degree prepares a written prospectus of the final doctoral project (Composition) or dissertation (Ethnomusicology and Historical Musicology) for presentation to the doctoral committee at a formal prospectus or dissertation overview meeting.

Thesis and Dissertation
Composition. Candidates for the MA degree submit a composition with an accompanying essay. Candidates for the doctorate submit a major composition, and an article-length essay on an analytical or theoretical topic.

Ethnomusicology and Historical Musicology. Candidates for the MA degree submit a master's thesis, equivalent in size and scope to a publishable scholarly article. Candidates for the doctorate submit a dissertation, a major work of original scholarship.

Oral Examination
A public defense of the doctoral essay or dissertation is required.

Neuroscience is the study of the structure and function of the nervous system. Our graduate program, instituted in 1967 as part of the Department of Psychology, was one of the first of its kind. Since then, it has been among the largest and most successful programs in the United States. In the fall of 1986 the program became autonomous from the Department of Psychology and now exists as a separate department in the University.

The overall objective of our graduate program is to help students develop into scientists with expertise in the interdisciplinary field of neuroscience and in one or more traditional disciplines. These latter areas include biochemistry, cellular and developmental biology, neuroanatomy, pharmacology, and physiology. Some exposure to research in clinical neuroscience, through the Departments of Psychiatry and Neurology in the School of Medicine, also is encouraged.

Admission Requirements
Students are selected for admission on the grounds that they show evidence of a high level of intellectual talent, a strong interest in neuroscience, and a commitment to scholarship and research. The department can accommodate between five and eight new graduate students each year.

Admission decisions take into account many factors, including the candidate's statement of interest and goals in the field of neuroscience, evidence of research experience and accomplishment, letters of recommendation, test scores, and grades. An outstanding record in one of these areas may compensate for poorer performance in another area. In general, successful applicants have a BS degree in biology, chemistry, or psychology with a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.3 (on a 4.0 scale), and a score of at least 1800 on the Graduate Record Exam (verbal, quantitative, and analytical). After an initial screening, applicants may be evaluated by a personal interview. Students are admitted on the assumption that they will be able to meet all requirements for the PhD degree. All students are supported in full during the four or five years required for graduate training.

Additional information can be obtained from the Director of Graduate Admissions, Department of Neuroscience, 446 Crawford Hall, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA 15260.

Doctor of Philosophy Degree Requirements
In formulating the graduate training program, the faculty have been guided by several principles. First, the program should aid each student in the development of an individualized training program based on the student's background and interests, and not simply focus on a predetermined set of requirements. Second, research experience should form the core of each student's training, and as such should not be postponed by a lengthy period of time devoted exclusively to course work. Third, the goals of the training should be development of those competencies that are of importance to research scientists: the design, execution, and reporting of research, and the evaluation of research results, both their own and those of others. Finally, students should be evaluated in terms of the progress they make toward those goals; thus, evaluation is determined primarily by their development and performance as independent investigators.

The first and most important task of an entering student is to begin work toward the development of a research project; by the end of the second year, the student is expected to complete a significant piece of research and submit a report. As well, the student must confer with his or her adviser in constructing a comprehensive curriculum of lecture courses, seminars, or tutorials, reflecting the student's background and projected research interests. In most cases eight to ten such courses will be taken, although their exact number and nature are likely to be different for each student. Students typically take one or two courses per term and complete their course work within two to three years.

At the end of the second term of the first year, each student takes a preliminary exam, in which he or she is asked to critically evaluate a recently published research report on a topic that is in the student's general area of interest. At the end of the second term of the second year, each student presents a written report that summarizes his or her early research project. (That report may form the basis of an MS thesis. A student may earn an MS degree after passing the preliminary exam at the master's level, completing 24 credits with 3.0 GPA and defending a thesis. However, this option is not a departmental requirement, and some students do not earn an MS degree en route to the PhD degree.)

During the third and fourth years, graduate work is focused on the comprehensive examination, a research apprenticeship, and completion of the PhD dissertation.

The comprehensive examination is the major requirement that a student must pass before being admitted to candidacy for the doctoral degree. It provides an opportunity for a student to define an area of specialization in which he or she plans to do the dissertation research, and ultimately to demonstrate that the background scholarship needed for such research has been achieved.

The apprenticeship is designed to broaden the student's exposure to the various techniques and approaches used by neuroscientists, by having the student spend at least one term conducting research in a laboratory other than that of his or her primary adviser. It is common for students to use this experience to develop skills that could be later utilized in the PhD dissertation.

The PhD dissertation is an extended original investigation of a significant problem in the field of behavioral neuroscience. It is the heart of the graduate program, and virtually all other requirements are designed to assist a student in preparing for this task. The successful completion and oral defense of the dissertation is expected to take place sometime before the end of the fourth or fifth year.

Research Programs
Research in the department focuses on several prominent themes. One is neuroplasticity, that is, the ability of the central nervous system to adapt to change. This feature is seen in the recovery of function after brain damage, in learning, in development, and in the organism's response to stress, all of which receive considerable attention in our work. A second theme is homeostasis, that is, the maintenance of the internal milieu by integrated physiological and behavioral processes. This feature is pursued in studies of ingestive behavior, neuropeptide synthesis and release, control of the digestive and cardiovascular systems, and autonomic function. Other research programs focus on the anatomy and physiology of biogenic amine-containing neuronal systems, and the use of animal models in the study of psychiatric and neurological disease. More detailed information is contained in the departmental brochure.

A major feature of the department is the extensive collaborative interactions among its faculty. The field of neuroscience attracts people from many different traditional disciplines in the natural sciences, and this heterogeneity in background is exploited by the diverse approaches taken by the faculty to research problems of common interest. Thus, it is common for our students to work in more than one laboratory, with more than one faculty member serving as adviser, considering a research problem from multiple perspectives, and employing multiple techniques in their work. Moreover, because the University of Pittsburgh has a large community of neuroscientists on campus, organized in the Center for Neuroscience, it also is common for our students and faculty to interact with students and faculty with related interests in other departments.

Departmental research is supported by a large number of grants funded by the federal government and private agencies. The equipment and facilities available for anatomical, biochemical, physiological, and pharmacological studies of the nervous system and its function are excellent.

Teaching
All students gain teaching experience as part of their graduate training. During their first year in graduate school, they serve as teaching assistants to program faculty each term. Subsequently, students may teach their own courses (usually introductory courses in an area of behavioral neuroscience) to undergraduate students in the College of General Studies. A faculty adviser is appointed to supervise this teaching.

Admission to Graduate Status
The Department of Philosophy, together with the affiliated Center for the Philosophy of Science and in cooperation with the Department of History and Philosophy of Science, offers advanced degree programs leading to the MA and PhD degrees. The department is especially strong in the areas of epistemology, ethics, Greek philosophy, history of philosophy, mathematical and philosophical logic, metaphysics, political and social philosophy, history and philosophy of science, philosophy of language, philosophy of mathematics, philosophy of mind and psychology, and semantics. Its faculty, which represents a wide diversity of interests and backgrounds, has designed the graduate programs so as to allow students substantial flexibility in planning their programs of study. Students have considerable freedom in deciding which areas to combine with a chosen area of specialization in meeting the degree requirements. Students who are especially interested in the Department of History and Philosophy of Science should consult that department's entry in this bulletin.

To undertake graduate work in philosophy, a student normally must have done superior work in upper-division courses in philosophy totaling not less than 18 credit hours. Exceptions are made in the case of outstanding students who have completed strong majors in other fields. In addition to certified transcripts of all prior undergraduate and graduate work, applicants must include certified scores on the aptitude parts of the Graduate Record Examination, letters of recommendation, and a sample of written work. Full details may be obtained from the Director of Graduate Studies.

Admissions to the PhD program are made once yearly, in February, for entry the following September. The department accepts only full-time students. Admission is highly competitive; in recent years fewer than 10 percent of applicants have been offered admission. Admission to the terminal MA program is made a month before the start of the fall and spring terms. The department welcomes students in other doctoral programs at the University who wish to take a secondary MA in Philosophy. The department admits other students only if places are available after doctoral students have been admitted. The department does not offer financial support to terminal MA students.

The Doctor of Philosophy Degree
The University requirement for the PhD degree is 72 credits. The department requires that 48 of these credits must be obtained by taking 16 approved seminars (including directed studies) passed with a grade of at least B, and the remainder are typically satisfied by dissertation research.

The Director of Graduate Studies advises incoming students in planning their program of studies. Departmental requirements are fully spelled out in the "Handbook of Rules and Policies for Graduate Study in Philosophy at the University of Pittsburgh," which may be obtained from the department. In summary, these requirements include (i) proficiency in one of French, German, Greek, or Latin, shown by passing a departmental translation examination; (ii) proficiency in basic and advanced logic, normally shown by passing (with a grade of at least B) course 1500 (for students without background preparation) and 2500; (iii) proficiency in ethics, metaphysics and epistemology, and philosophy of science, shown by passing (with a grade of at least B+) the core courses 2300, 2400, and 2600; (iv) proficiency in the history of philosophy, shown by doing five 'units' as specified in the Handbook.

When these requirements are completed, which should be by the end of the third year of full-time graduate study, the student's performance will be subject to comprehensive evaluation by the full faculty of the department. If the evaluation is favorable, the student presents a prospectus for a dissertation. If the prospectus is acceptable to the proposed dissertation committee, the student is admitted to PhD candidacy. The student must then write and submit a dissertation which the committee considers acceptable for examination, and must pass a final oral examination on the dissertation and his or her research.

Teaching Internship
In order to qualify for the PhD degree, each graduate student must teach, under the supervision of the faculty, at least three one-hour discussion sections distributed over at least two different courses. Teaching assistants and teaching fellows satisfy this requirement in the course of fulfilling their teaching duties. Special arrangements are made to enable other graduate students to satisfy this requirement.

The Master of Arts Degree
The University requirement for the degree is eight courses (24 credits), of which at least four courses must be at the full graduate level.
The Director of Graduate Studies advises incoming graduate students in planning their programs of studies. Departmental requirements are fully spelled out in the "Handbook of Rules and Policies for Graduate Study in Philosophy at the University of Pittsburgh," which may be obtained from the Department. In summary, these requirements include (i) proficiency in one of French, German, Greek, or Latin, shown by passing a departmental translation examination (waived for secondary MA students); (ii) proficiency in basic logic, normally shown by passing (with a grade of at least B) course 1500; (iii) proficiency in metaphysics and epistemology, and either ethics or philosophy of science, shown by passing (with a grade of at least B+) the core courses 2400 and either 2300 or 2600; (iv) proficiency in the history of philosophy, shown by doing two 'units' as specified in the Handbook.

Program in Classics, Philosophy, and Ancient Sciences
The Departments of Classics, Philosophy, and History and Philosophy of Science of the University of Pittsburgh jointly offer a graduate program leading to the degrees of Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy in classics, philosophy, or history and philosophy of science, with special concentration in ancient philosophy and science. Although their primary association is with one of the three departments, depending on their background and interests, students in the program work closely with each other and with the cooperating faculty, which is drawn from all three departments.

The Philosophy of Science Center
The Philosophy of Science Center is intimately linked with the Department of Philosophy but includes members of several other departments. It affords a special concentration in the philosophy and logic of the sciences. The center promotes research in collaboration with scholars at other institutions and contributes to the education of doctoral and postdoctoral students specializing in the philosophy and history of science. In the interest of a wider diffusion and appreciation of the subject, the center sponsors a series of annual public lectures by eminent scholars.

The Department of History and Philosophy of Science
The Department of History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Pittsburgh offers courses and seminars leading to the MA and PhD degrees. They are designed to give students an opportunity to acquire those specialized skills requisite to an understanding of science as an intellectual, cultural, and historical force. The course offerings are diversified, and normal course work is supplemented by a series of seminars on special topics of interest. The Departments of Philosophy and History and Philosophy of Science work closely together in offering courses and seminars.

Courses Carrying Graduate Credit
Courses numbered in the 1000s are advanced undergraduate courses carrying graduate credit and, with the consent of the departmental Director of Graduate Studies, may be taken by graduate students who are not yet ready for seminar work in the area concerned. A complete list of these courses can be found in the CAS Bulletin.

Courses numbered in the 2000s are intended primarily for graduate students. The following courses are usually offered in rotation over a period of two or three years. The core courses and advanced logic (2300, 2400, 2600, and 2500) are offered every year, either in the fall or spring term. The department prepares detailed descriptions of each term's course offerings; these descriptions are available from the department about two months before the beginning of each term. Students not having graduate standing in the Department of Philosophy should secure the instructor's consent before registering for any of the following courses.

Graduate Study
The Department of Physics and Astronomy offers a PhD, PhD with Applied Physics Option, PhD with Chemical Physics Option, and MS. In addition, all graduate students at the University of Pittsburgh can obtain a certificate in scientific computing. (See Certificate Program in Scientific Computing.)

Admission to graduate study in Physics and Astronomy requires the satisfactory completion of most of the advanced undergraduate courses in the following: mechanics, electricity and magnetism, modern physics, quantum mechanics, thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, differential equations, and advanced calculus. All applicants for graduate study should submit their undergraduate (and graduate, if they have completed graduate work elsewhere) transcripts, the results of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE scores), and three letters of recommendation. Applicants who do not speak English as their native language must also submit the results of the Test Of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).

A candidate for the MS degree in either physics or astronomy must pass the appropriate MS comprehensive examination (often the same as the PhD preliminary examination), must maintain a grade point average of at least 3.0, and complete a minimum of 24 credits. He or she may elect one of two alternative programs: (1) a thesis on original work or a significant review, plus five or six regular courses at the graduate or 1170 level; or (2) no thesis, but eight regular courses at the graduate or 1170 level, of which two can be mathematics or other subjects approved by the graduate committee, but above 2000. A reasonably well-prepared student with a BS should find it possible to attain the MS within one full year.

The PhD programs in Physics and Astronomy attempt to assure that the graduates are well versed in the fundamentals of their fields, have a broad knowledge of contemporary developments, and are experts in the techniques and current state of the subject area of their research. Thesis research, a major part of the PhD program, should contribute significantly to the advancement of knowledge or the techniques of research in the field. Requirements on teaching, the presentation of seminars, and writing a thesis serve to give the candidates some experience in the effective communication of their work.

The preliminary examination is taken in the spring term by all first-year graduate students. It is a wri tten examination and covers advanced undergraduate material only. The comprehensive examination is also taken in the spring by second-year graduate students and some well-prepared first-year students. It is a written examination based on the core graduate courses. In addition to passing the comprehensive examination, the PhD candidate must be judged satisfactory in at least three credit hours of teaching.

Additional information is contained in the brochures, Graduate Study and Research in Physics and Astronomy and Requirements for the PhD and MS Degrees, Department of Physics and Astronomy, both of which may be obtained from the departmental office. The minimal degree requirements established by the Graduate Faculty of the University and by the Office of Graduate Studies, Faculty of Arts and Sciences, as described elsewhere in this bulletin, should be read in conjunction with the specific departmental requirements.

Research Programs
A program of graduate studies leading to the PhD requires the submission and acceptance of a PhD thesis. The thesis must present the student's research contribution, a significant independent project that advances knowledge or techniques in the field. A student has a wide choice of acceptable thesis topics. ln physics or in astronomy it is usually desirable to join an existing research group, either within the department or in another department that does research that is appropriate for a PhD thesis in physics or astronomy. Below is a description of some of the areas of research that are currently available within the department.

The Department of Physics and Astronomy has ongoing research programs, both theoretical and experimental, in the following fields: General Relativity; Astronomy (both Astrophysics and Astrometry); Atomic Physics; Quantum Optics; Earth and Planetary Atmospheres; Condensed Matter (including Solid-State Physics, Statistical Mechanics and Fluid Dynamics, and Biophysics); Chemical Physics; Nuclear and Intermediate Energy Physics; and Elementary Particle Physics. The department (in collaboration with the Physics Department at Carnegie Mellon and Westinghouse Electric Company) operates one of the National Science Foundation's Supercomputer Centers. The accessibility of this center greatly enhances the research capabilities of all the departmental research programs. Below is a sampling of current research activities in the department in many of these fields.


General Relativity. Theoretical studies include research in: gravitational radiation by numerical analysis; reformulation of the classical Einstein equations; and the relationship of quantum theory to general relativity.

Astronomy. The department has programs in both astrophysics and in positional astronomy (astrometry). In astrometry, careful studies of the trajectories of nearby stars is the primary tool in the search for unseen companions of these stars. Most of the astrometric observations are made from our own Allegheny Observatory in Pittsburgh. In astrophysics there are both theoretical and observational studies of the physical processes that occur in our galaxy and in extragalactic objects such as spiral galaxies, radio galaxies, and quasars. Studies of the most distant quasars give us insight into the early universe. Optical studies are made with the most powerful telescopes at leading observatories throughout the world. Radio astronomy studies are carried out at the several national observatories dedicated to radio astronomy.

Atomic Physics and Quantum Optics. There are both theoretical and experimental studies of the interaction of radiation with atomic systems and of interactions between ions and atoms, in weak and in strong electromagnetic fields (intense laser radiation), and in both relativistic and classical (non-relativistic) limits. This research has important consequences for lasers, for fusion plasmas, for astrophysics, and for our basic understanding of quantum mechanics.

Earth and Planetary Atmospheres. Both ground-based and rocket-based observations of the atomic and ionic processes in the upper atmosphere are carried out from observatories and launching stations around the world.

Condensed-Matter Physics. In solid-state physics there are studies of the optical and infrared properties of solids, of semiconducting radiation detectors, quantum wells, the effect of ion implantation on channelling, photoluminescence and Raman scattering in semiconductors, and many topics in surface science, including the effects of strain and dislocation. In statistical mechanics and fluid dynamics there are both theoretical and experimental studies of phase transitions; spin glasses; fractals; critical phenomena; the properties of interfacial regions separating phases; and dynamic, non-equilibrium behavior in hydrodynamic systems. One of the more interesting experimental techniques involves the use of laser light scattering from density fluctuations in turbulent and incipient turbulent flow of fluids. Biophysics research within the department is primarily in the field of magnetic resonance imaging of live biological systems.

Nuclear and Intermediate Energy Physics. Theoretical research makes use of quantum field theory and quark dynamics to predict proton-antiproton reactions; and the electromagnetic production of pions, kaons, and eta mesons. Experimental projects include studies of: the structure of very light nuclei and nucleon resonances; the nucleon-nucleon force; and the competition between the strong interaction and the coriolis interaction in rapidly rotating nuclei. Experiments are conducted at national laboratories. An applied physics research project involves a study of the existence of radioactive radon in houses, and the relationship of radon in the home with the development of lung cancer in its occupants.

Elementary-Particle Physics. Theoretical research projects include studies of strong and weak interactions, precision tests of quantum electrodynamics, and the behavior of quarks and gluons. Experimental projects include studies of direct photon and lepton production, and high-energy heavy ion interactions. Experimental research is currently being conducted at CERN (European Center for Nuclear Research), and at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory.

Graduate Lecture and Laboratory Courses
The formal course offerings in the department are listed below. The undergraduate and graduate core courses in physics are given every year, as are some of the more popular advanced courses. Other physics courses and the astronomy courses are given in alternate years, or only occasionally, depending in part on student interest. All students are expected to take or otherwise demonstrate their mastery of the core courses. Reading courses and independent study can be arranged.

Independent Study Plan: Under this plan, an exceptionally able and well-motivated student may prepare for the examination and the completion of requirements without formal registration in the courses. Such a student would be assigned to a faculty member who would guide him or her in a private course of study and meet with the student in frequent tutorial sessions. A student following this plan would have complete freedom to attend courses as an auditor but must be registered for directed or independent study. (See Grading and Credits.) Except in unusual cases, students will not be admitted to this plan until they have demonstrated their abilities by formal enrollment in the conventional manner for at least one term.

The graduate program in Political Science incorporates three fields: American/Cross-National Politics, World Politics, and Empirical and Normative Political Theory. Students may combine work for the MA and PhD degrees with a program of regional specialization leading to a certificate in Latin American, Asian, West European, or Russian and East European studies. The Department of Political Science encourages students to undertake course work in related disciplines and schools, including the other social science departments and the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs.

Two specialized centers of interest to political scientists are located at the University of Pittsburgh: the University Center for International Studies and the University Center for Social and Urban Research. Additionally, the University's membership in the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research provides the student access to major sources of political data and opportunities for advanced training in the analysis of data.

Admissions Requirements
Applicants for admission must submit to the departmental director of graduate studies transcripts of all college-level work, three letters of recommendation, a career statement, and scores on the verbal, quantitative, and analytical sections of the Graduate Record Examination. Two copies of the application for admission form should be completed and submitted along with the application fee. Applications will be accepted for fall term admission until April 15 . For awards consideration, applications must be completed by January 1. The department is admitting students only for the fall term.

Policy on Graduate Awards
If there are adequate funds, a graduate student receiving a teaching assistantship or a teaching fellowship who has demonstrated high-quality graduate work can expect to have the fellowship renewed for up to three years. If he or she has successfully passed the PhD comprehensive examinations at the outset of the fourth year, additional financial aid from the department will be contingent upon a yearly review indicating that the student is making substantial progress toward completing the dissertation. A graduate student who has not passed the PhD comprehensive examinations in September of the fourth year of graduate work ordinarily is not eligible for additional financial assistance until these examinations are passed.

Degree Requirements
The department offers the degrees of Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy. The minimal requirements for the degrees established by the Graduate Faculty of the University and by the FAS Office of Graduate Studies, as described elsewhere in the bulletin, should be read in conjunction with the specific departmental requirements for these degrees in the following sections.

Students who wish to earn a certificate in one of the interdisciplinary area programs in conjunction with a master's program should see Interdisciplinary Programs.

Master of Arts Degree Requirements
For the MA degree, students must earn 36 hours of credit with a B average or better in courses numbered 1000 or above. At least half of these credits must be carried in courses numbered 2000 or above. The 36 credits must include completion of the core course sequence in Empirical and Normative Theory with grades of B or better. These courses include PS 2010, 2020, 2030, and 2040.

Students must then pass a comprehensive examination, for MA purposes, covering one of the three general fields: World Politics, American/Cross-National Politics or Empirical and Normative Political Theory (beyond the core).

Doctor of Philosophy Requirements
PhD Qualifying Examinations. Students are examined in one of the three fields of political science offered by the department: American/Cross National Politics, Political Theory (beyond the core-course sequence), and World Politics. These four-hour examinations are offered during the first week of the fall and spring terms-September and January respectively. The results of the written examinations are forwarded by the Field Examining Committees to a Screening Committee composed of the chairs of the examining committees and the Director of Graduate Studies. The Screening Committee takes account of the written examination performance and the student's overall record in graduate studies to determine eligibility for formal acceptance into the PhD program. It renders one of three evaluations: "encouraged", "permitted", or "not permitted" to proceed to the PhD. These examinations can be retaken once.

Academic Advising, Language, and other Research Tool Requirements. First-year graduate students will be advised by the Director of Graduate Studies. After a student completes one term of full-time graduate work, or its equivalent, he or she will establish an Advisory Committee (AC) consisting of a chair representing the field that the student plans to choose for the MA comprehensive/PhD qualifying examinations and one other faculty member. The ACs, in consultation with their respective students, will plan the second-year programs. After a student passes the PhD qualifying examinations, membership of the ACs will be adjusted, if necessary, to include a faculty member in the second field that the student plans to submit for the PhD comprehensive examinations.

The reconstituted AC will design the program of course work, language, or other relevant requirements, and a tentative schedule that leads to the PhD comprehensive examinations. Students acquire basic methodological competence through the core-course sequence. Additional research tool requirements may be established by the students' ACs with reference to their specific programs. If a committee decides, for example, that courses of study in languages, advanced statistics, or other areas are required, it will also establish the measure of competence required. The record of these decisions is placed in each student's file. The requirements established by the committee must be met before students can undertake the PhD comprehensive examinations.

Subsequently, students will meet with the AC or with the chair when appropriate, for purposes of registration and additional planning and discussion until the PhD comprehensive examinations are passed and a dissertation committee is established for the overview.

Credit Requirement. 72 credit hours earned from any suitable combination of formal course work, independent study, research, teaching, or dissertation work as detailed elsewhere in this bulletin.

Supervised Teaching Experience. Supervised teaching experience is typically an integral part of the doctoral program. The nature of the experience and the point at which it occurs in the doctoral program vary with each student. Normally, teaching experience is gained by conducting recitation sections of an introductory course or by assisting a faculty member in an undergraduate course.

Comprehensive Examination. Students take comprehensive examinations in two of the three general fields. (In exceptional cases the department may permit a student to submit a coherent program in the social sciences for examination in lieu of one of these fields.) These examinations are offered during the first week of the fall and spring terms. Students are expected to demonstrate a professional level of mastery of the substantive and analytic questions in both fields selected for examination.

The PhD comprehensive examination consists of two stages. The first stage consists of two take-home examinations covering two questions in each field.

The second stage, contingent upon successful completion of the first stage, consists of an oral examination covering both fields.

Dissertation Overview. Following successful completion of the comprehensive examination, the student files an application for admission to candidacy for the Doctor of Philosophy degree.

At this stage the student presents a proposed topic for doctoral research and a research design for its execution to be reviewed by a faculty committee. The student should give careful thought early in graduate work to possible doctoral research topics and discuss them with faculty members so that he or she may proceed promptly to intensive research and writing of the dissertation.

The overview committee consists of a minimum of four Graduate Faculty members, including at least one faculty member from a department other than Political Science. (See Doctoral Committee) The committee is composed by the faculty member who has agreed to serve as the chairperson of the student's overview committee. Once the committee has generally approved the topic, it continues to serve as the student's doctoral committee and to conduct the final oral examination.

Final Oral Examination. The final oral examination in defense of the doctoral dissertation is conducted by the doctoral committee.

The department offers graduate training leading to specialization in the following fields: biopsychology, clinical, cognitive, developmental, and social psychology. The program in clinical psychology is accredited by the American Psychological Association, Committee on Accreditation. Students interested in educational psychology and counseling should consult the School of Education Bulletin.

Admission
Applications for admission must be completed by February 1 (January 15 for Clinical) of the year for which admission is desired. Admission is in the fall only. Applicants for admission to graduate study in psychology must submit academic transcripts and certified scores on the Graduate Record Examination. Students may obtain information concerning the dates and places of administration of the GRE from the Graduate Record Examination, Educational Testing Service, Princeton, NJ, or from the testing service of their own college or university.

As preparation for graduate study, the department recommends a broad undergraduate training including courses in biology, mathematics, the physical sciences, the social sciences, and in effective oral and written expression. At least six credits of college-level mathematics and 12 credits of psychology, including experimental psychology, statistics, and, for clinical applicants, abnormal psychology, are required for admission to graduate study. Upon being admitted, students are assigned to faculty advisers.

Requirements
Normally, students are only admitted for graduate study leading to the PhD degree. The requirements for this degree are summarized as follows.

1. The satisfactory completion of a series of core courses during the first two years of residence. This series includes two graduate psychology statistics courses (PSYCH 2010, 2015) and additional courses in the student's area of specialization. Each of the graduate programs has its own series of required courses.

2. Satisfactory demonstration of competence in research. This involves the completion of a formal master's thesis, or a research paper judged equivalent by a faculty committee. In either case, an oral defense is required.

3. The preliminary evaluation consists of the completion (or exemption) of appropriate core courses plus the completion of the MS thesis or MS equivalent research paper. (Students entering with the MA or MS degree from another institution must have prior courses evaluated by the program faculty to determine to what extent the core program has been satisfied. If the student has already completed a master's thesis, that thesis must also be evaluated by the program faculty to determine whether or not it meets the research standards of the department.)

4. The passing of a comprehensive examination in the student's area of specialization. This examination (a) must be taken within two calendar years after having passed the core courses; (b) must be completed at least eight months before the granting of the PhD degree; and

(c) must be repeated if the degree is not granted within three calendar years after passing the comprehensive examination. Candidates failing the examination may, at the discretion of the faculty, be permitted to repeat the examination at the next scheduled administration, but no further repetitions are allowed.

5. Satisfactory completion of a PhD dissertation, with oral defense.

In addition, the student who specializes in clinical psychology is required to complete an internship consisting of one year of experience in an approved agency, or an equivalent amount of part-time supervised experience.

If a student wishes, he or she may obtain a master's degree by submitting an approved master's thesis and fulfilling the additional requirements described in the front of this bulletin under General Degree Regulations. Satisfactory completion of the core courses constitutes the comprehensive examination for the MS degree.

Facilities
The facilities of the department include experimental laboratories, extensive computer facilities, a small-groups laboratory, the Clinical Psychology Center, and the laboratories of the Learning Research and Development Center. These services offer the advanced graduate student opportunities for supervised practicum and research experiences.

The departmental facilities also include cooperative arrangements with many organizations in Pittsburgh engaged in various kinds of psychological work. These include Children's Hospital, Pittsburgh Cancer Institute, the Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic, St. Francis Hospital, and several local agencies of the Veterans Administration Medical Centers. Collaboration with these organizations consists of part-time instruction by the staffs of these agencies, the sharing of laboratory and clinical facilities, and the appointment in those organizations of graduate students in psychology as clinical assistants, research assistants, or as part-time employees.

Research
The research interests of the faculty and current graduate students include the following: cognitive and social development; cognitive neuroscience, psychoneuroimmunology, psychopharmacology; verbal processes; memory and cognitive functioning; instructional processes; social conformity; stereotypes; social motivation; attitudes; health psychology; behavioral medicine; psycho-pathology.
