About this catalog . . .
The Lake Superior State University
Catalog does not constitute a contract
between the University and its stu
dent on either a collective or individ
ual basis. It represents LSSU’s be?
academic, social, and financial plai
ning at the time of publicatioi
Course and curriculum changes
modification of tuition; fees, dormi
tory, meal, and other charges, plus
unforeseen changes in other aspects
of LSSU life, sometimes occur after
the Catalog has been printed, but
before the changes can be
incorporated in a later edition of the
same publication. Because of this,
Lake Superior State University does
not assume a contractual obligation
with its students for the contents of
this Catalog.
LSSU admits and hires men and
women, veterans, and disabled
individuals of any race, color,
national, or ethnic origin, or marital

THE UNIVERSITY • 3
�WHAT
Lake Superior State University encourages in its students a desire
to learn and a willingness to serve. The primary purpose of the
University is to educate and train young people for rewarding careers
and lives of meaning. We:
REGARD
STUDENTS as
mature, responsible individuals en
gaged in the processes of self gov
ernment which are essential in a
democratic society.
TEACH INDIVIDUALS, not
groups; with a close-working rela
tionship between instructors and
students. Each student has a faculty
advisor and may also consult the
counseling service.
:ducate
students
for
’ell-rounded lives; not only intellec
tual competence, but physical, social,
and cultural development. The pro
gram of general education includes
courses such as recreational activities, natural sciences, social sciences,
English language and literature, and
Athletic events,
the humanities,
clubs, dramatic and cultural presenta
tions, and student self-government
organizations offer a wide variety of
co-curricular activities.
TEACH FUNDAMENTALS
and their application. In modem
society knowledge increases so rap
idly that specific facts may become
obsolete even before they are widely
learned. Close attention to funda
mentals is necessary. The University
attempts to inculcate habits of learn
ing, thinking and doing which,
thoughtfully modified, will endure
for a lifetime.
ENCOURAGE INITIATIVE,
self criticism, and intellectual curios
ity, leam by doing. Education in
fundamental knowledge should be
supplemented by laboratory and field
work in order that university prepa
ration closely resembles conditions in
professional careers. Students should
develop lifelong intellectual curiosity
and discovery, become constructive
critics of themselves and of society,
and leam to prize creative, original
thinking.
IN RETROSPECT
HISTORIC: Lake Superior State
University is a hilltop campus, situat
ed on the historic site of Fort Brady,
a U.S. Army post dating back to
1822. The campus overlooks the St.
Mary’s River and the famous Soo
Locks. After the fort was deactivat
ed in 1944, the property was
acquired by Michigan Technological
University to establish a branch.
Thus, the campus is a blend of his
toric and modem architecture. The
University was accorded four-year
status by the State Board of Educa
tion in 1966, and authorized to grant
baccalaureate degrees.
THE UNIVERSITY 4
�WE ARE
The first baccalaureate class graduat
ed in 1967. Autonomy, separating
the University from Michigan Tech
nological University, was granted
January 1, 1970. On November 4,
1987, Governor James Blanchard
signed legislation changing Lake
Superior State from College to Uni
versity.
CAMPUS RESIDENCE facili
ties include two conventional halls, a
Student Village with eight-man and
eight-woman apartments, townhouses, a mobile home park, small
group housing and several apartment
buildings. Canusa Hall provides
food service facilities. The Walker
Cisler Center offers recreational
facilities as well as a snack bar,
student offices, and meeting rooms.
The James Norris Physical Education
Center provides ample opportunity
for a variety of recreational activi
ties, intramurals, courses and inter
collegiate athletics. The Center for
Applied Sciences and Engineering
Technology offers students the latest
in modem technological resources.
A seasoned faculty and high academ
ic standards have earned Lake Supe
rior State University a reputation for
an enriched education in such areas
as liberal arts, engineering technol
ogy, business administration, social
sciences, biological sciences and
their allied fields.
The need to provide continuing
education for adults has not been
overlooked. The University offers
evening courses as well as confer
ences and cultural programs. Enroll-
ment of part-time students in day
classes is encouraged.
Students find the close relationship
between faculty and the student body
is extremely valuable in the first
years of university work. No one is
"lost in the crowd" here.
THE CAMPUS
ENVIRONMENT: The campus
provides a true university environ
ment, with its own classroom and
laboratory buildings, residence halls,
library, auditorium, gymnasium, food
services, and health center. It con
sists of 121 acres of spacious, wood
ed campus on the western heights of
Sault Ste. Marie overlooking the St.
Mary’s River, Lake Superior and
Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario.
Students find that the city of Sault
Ste. Marie and its environs offer
much of value to enhance their edu
Sault Ste.
cational experiences.
Marie is one of the oldest cities in
the United States. It was a fur trad
ing center as early as the second
quarter of the seventeenth century.
In 1641, a Jesuit mission was estab
lished here, and 27 years later Father
Marquette founded at the Sault the
first permanent settlement within the
limits of Michigan. The Sault cele
brated its 300th birthday in 1968.
ACCREDITATION: How does
this university rank with other educa
tional institutions scholastically?
Accreditation means the curricula,
faculty, equipment, laboratories, and
library of an institution have been
THE UNIVERSITY 5
�inspected and approved. Lake Supe
rior State University is accredited by
the North Central Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools.
Fourth year instruction in medical
technology is in hospitals approved
by the Council on Medical Education
and Hospitals of the American Medi
cal Association.
Engineering Technology associate
degree programs accredited by the
Accreditation Board for Engineering
and Technology, Inc. include: com
puter; drafting and design; electrical
and mechanical engineering technol
ogy. The Board has also accredited
four-year programs in electrical,
mechanical and automated systems
engineering technology.
The nursing program is accredited by
the National League for Nursing.
WELCOME to Lake Superior State University. I look forward to
personally meeting you during your time at the University.
This Catalog is intended to be your guide through your academic
and student life at Lake Superior State University. It is given to you
with the expectation that it will become a part of your personal
library along with your dictionary, thesaurus, and any other
reference books you need at your fingertips.
While I do not necessarily commend it to you for a first-time
cover-to-cover reading, I do urge you to read the first third of the
book before moving to those sections devoted to specific disciplines
and degrees.
As in every other field of endeavor, it is essential that as a student
at Lake Superior State University you know the academic rules by
which we are expected to play. This book will help you with these
and assist you in formulating questions if in your review particular
areas are not adequately explained.
While many students come to the University with a firm choice of
a specific career field, others are not so certain. The literature shows
that, once enrolled in higher education, the majority of those
pursuing a degree change their minds about their academic major.
This is healthy. Education is discovery. What you thought was the
right choice for you in high school may take a distant second to
something you find in a general education course or elective at the
University. In this situation, the Catalog becomes a re-starting point,
and now you will have faculty and staff whom you know to call on
for advice.
When your experience at LSSU is twenty years in the distance, I
hope it will be fun to pull this book from the closet, dust it off, and
reflect on interesting courses and faculty and, I hope, some very good
times.
This is a multi-purpose book; one that can continue to work for
and with you. Keep it and use it wisely.
Dr. H. Erik Shaar, President

early August) most courses are
conducted during an eight week
period which includes two days for
final examinations. Specific dates
for each semester are found in the
University Calendar located
elsewhere in this book.
ACADEMIC CREDIT
In a lecture/recitation type course
students receive one credit for each
fifteen hours of classroom
instruction. (For example, a threecredit course of this type might be
scheduled 9:00 to 9:50 AM Monday,
Wednesday and Friday. An "hour"
period is usually only 50 minutes
long, with ten minutes allowed for
students to move from class to
class.)
Courses including laboratory, field
work or other non-lecture formats
may be scheduled for more than one
hour per week per credit. In general,
one credit requires an average of
three hours of the student’s time per
In

lecture/recitation courses this would
normally be accomplished with one

CLASSIFICATION
OF STUDENTS
Students are assigned to one of four
class levels as follows: 0 to 25
credits = Freshman; 26 to 55 credits
= Sophomore; 56 to 87 = Junior;
88+ = Senior.

STUDENT
CURRICULUM
CHOICE AND
ADVISING
Students are encouraged to select a
major program upon admission to
the University,
The academic
department offering the chosen
program is called the "major
department". The department head
of the major department assigns an
academic advisor to each of the
students. An advisor assists students
in course selection each semester, in
understanding program and
university requirements and
regulations, in evaluating academic
progress, and in other matters related
to successful academic achievement.
Lake Superior Slate University is
firmly committed to providing
students personalized advising and
support. Students are encouraged to
actively seek help from their
instructors, advisors, department
head, Counseling Center, and any
other faculty, staff or office which
they believe might be of assistance.
The Counseling Center provides
academic tutoring as does the Native
American Center and academic
departments. These services are
usually provided without charge to
enrolled students,
Additional
information concerning advising
services is listed under testing and
counseling service in this catalog.
Students who are undecided about
their choice of a major program are
classified as majoring in Liberal
Arts, an associate degree program,
and assigned a provisional academic
advisor until another major is
chosen.
Students may change their major
curriculum by processing a
Curriculum Change Card through the
Registrar’s Office. The Registrar’s
Office, Counseling Center and
departmental offices can provide
students with the card and
instructions for processing it.
Curriculum Change cards must be
filed with the Registrar’s Office each
time a curriculum change is made so
that advisor materials, grade reports
and graduation information will be
sent to the correct department and
advisor. Students will be assigned <

change is made.
Students maj
request a change of advisor by
asking their major department head
to make such change.
SEMESTER
COURSE
SELECTION
Each semester the Scheduling Office
publishes a Course Schedule listing
all courses offered during the
semester along with related
information such as days and hour of
course offering, instructor and the
final examination time. This booklet
is available several weeks before the
semester begins and contains timely
and important information for
students. Students are responsible
for reading each semester’s Course
Schedule and adhering to its
instructions. Course Schedules and
ACADEMIC POLICIES 15
�scheduling materials are available
from all departmental offices and the
Scheduling Office.
After academic advising, students
schedule courses by submitting
required materials to the Scheduling
Office according to the time
schedule described in the Course
Schedule. After scheduling courses,
students have a limited period of
time to pay tuition and related fees.
At the end of this period
deregistration occurs. Deregistration
means that students’ registration in
all classes is canceled. Students who
are deregistered will usually find
fewer available classes from which
to choose when rescheduling.
Several factors assist or limit student
course selections.
Placement
examinations for mathematics and
English are administered by the
Counseling and Testing Center
located in Brown Hall.
These
xaminations are required of all
tudents before they schedule their
irst courses in mathematics or
English.
MAXIMUM STUDENT
CREDIT LOAD is twenty
credits per semester, with the
exception that students having a 3.00
cumulative grade point average may
take additional credit with written
approval of their major department
head.
Students on academic
probation should not take more than
fifteen credits per semester.
PREREQUISITES. Students
must satisfy prerequisites, and any
other stated conditions before
enrolling in a course or have
permission from an instructor to
waive the prerequisites. Enrollment
in a course may be revoked (with an
N grade) if it is found during the
regular drop period that the proper
prerequisites have not been met.
Responsibility rests with students to
be certain that they have the
approved prerequisites.
Permission to take any course out of
sequence is seldom granted even to
exceptional students, since electing a
course for which one is not prepared
imposes an additional burden not
reflected in the total number of
credits being carried. Students must
earn passing grades in a prerequisite
course before taking the next course
in sequence. For some courses a C
(2.00) grade or better is required.
Exceptions may be made only by
department heads or the course
instructor. Students who receive a D
grade in a prerequisite course or a
course in the major are strongly
advised (and may be required) to
repeat the course, and raise the D,
before continuing.
REPEATS. Students may not
repeat a course by enrollment or
examination if they have passed a
course for which the repeated course
is a prerequisite. Exceptions may be
granted by the department head with
the concurrence of the Registrar.
CHANGES IN COURSE
SCHEDULE. A period of time
is provided at the beginning of each
semester for students to add or delete
courses or reschedule all classes after
having been deregistered. Courses
deleted during this period will not
appear on a student’s permanent
record (transcript). The add/delete
period for a full semester course
begins on the first day of the
semester, and ends on the sixth
university business day. For courses
which span less than a full semester,
a shorter add/delete period may be
established. During the add/delete

THE GRADING
SYSTEM
;rade point average
(GPA). To compute the grade point
average for a semester, divide the
total points earned by the total
credits carried.
Credits carried
include those failed or earned but not
credits for Credit/No Credit courses.
To figure the cumulative grade point
average divide the total points earned
by the total credits carried in all
semesters.
When a course is
repeated, count only the credits
carried and the points of the last
grade earned. Thus, successfully
repeating courses in which students
initially earned a D or F is an
effective way for them to improve
their cumulative GPA. A cumulative
grade point average of 2.00 for all
credits carried is required for
graduation.
Further, the student
must compile a 2.00 grade point

Incomplete grades (I):
An

students, because of circumstances
beyond their control, are unable to
complete a segment of the course. It
must be made up by the date
specified by the instructor which
must be within a maximum of two
semesters in residence, or else the
incomplete grade becomes a failure.
Summer semesters are not counted
unless -a student is enrolled for
classes during the summer.
Deferred grades (Z): Deferred
grades are given in those special
courses where work is planned to
extend beyond a single semester.
GRADE REPORTS. Reports
concerning grades and credits are
sent to each student after each
semester. These reports are mailed
to home addresses.
DEAN’S LIST. Students who
complete twelve or more credits in a
semester with a grade point average
of 3.50 or higher will be placed on
the dean’s list for that semester,
acknowledging their outstanding
achievement.
ACADEMIC POLICIES 18
�ACADEMIC PROBATION
Students at Lake Superior State
University enjoy a considerable
degree of self-determination; they
decide for themselves when and how
long to work on each assignment.
The best way to succeed in this task
is to work out a weekly schedule
with two hours of study time
earmarked as preparation for each
one-hour class. (In a few cases, the
instructor may suggest some other
division of time.)
Most students are able to maintain
good work in all their courses. A
few fall short of satisfactory
performance. For them, a system of
academic probation is used.
Academic probation is considered a
warning to students that their
scholastic performance is below the
University’s minimum requirements.
During this period, students should
determine for themselves whether to
continue their programs as planned.
No student while on probation shall
carry more than 15 credits per
semester exclusive of band and
recreational activities.
The
Executive Vice-president, in
consultation with the student’s
advisor, may impose restrictions on
the student’s extra-curricular
activities.
It is the responsibility of students to
familiarize themselves with all
academic regulations including those
relating to probation, and to keep
informed as to their academic
standing.
The rules governing
academic probation, dismissal, and
reinstatement follow.
1. Students will be on academic
probation if their cumulative
grade point average is in the "on
probation" category.
2. Students whose cumulative grade
point average at the conclusion of
a semester falls into the dismissal
range of the academic standing
table will be dismissed.
3. After a first or second dismissal
a student has the following
options:
a. Allow two semesters
(summer may be counted for
one semester) to elapse
before re-enrollment or
b. Petition the Scholastic
Standards Committee for
immediate
readmittance.
This action is initiated with
the Registrar.
The
Committee can permit early
readmittance with specific
conditions required of the
student or deny the student’s
request. Subsequent to the
Committee’s denial th'
student can further appeal t
the Vice President fc
Academic Affairs, whose
decision is final.
4. Students who continue after a
dismissal will be dismissed again
after any semester in which their
cumulative grade point average
falls in the dismissal category.
The Registrar may allow the
student to continue "on
probation" with the record
showing "on probation" instead
of "dismissal", if the student’s
record has shown improvement
during the semester and student
has a 2.00 grade point average in
courses carried for that semester.
5. Students dismissed a third time
will not be reinstated without the
permission of the Vice President
for Academic Affairs, Three
semesters must elapse from the
time of dismissal before the

certain courses. Students should
inquire at the academic department
offering the course whether a
departmental examination is
available.
If an examination is
available, the department head’s
written approval to take the
examination must be obtained.
An application form for credit by
examination with explanation of the
necessary procedural steps, may be
obtained from the department head
or the Registrar’s Office. The fee
amount will be equivalent to that for

third parties. (See Section 10A for
release of records to third parties.)
The request must be submitted to the
appropriate officer responsible for
the record. (See Section 7 for list of

4. The date the request is filed.
Section 6. Copies of Records:
Fees for Copies
Copies of educational records will
only be provided under the Act
under the following conditions:

would effectively prevent a
student from exercising the right
to inspect and review the
educational record. (Examples of
when this provision would be
effective would be absence from
the State or a confining illness.)
If the student will return to the
residence occupied while in
attendance at the university or be
within 30 miles of the campus
and is not physically
incapacitated during the 45-day
compliance period, copies shall
not be provided but the right of
inspection shall be exercised.
Under this provision, the student
must submit a written request
(see Section 10A) specifying the
record to be disclosed, and the
reason that a personal inspection
of the record cannot be made
during the 45-day compliance
period.
The university will
review these requests on a caseby-case basis to determine if
copies are required as opposed to
personal inspection.
2. On request, under the provisions
of Section 10B regarding records
to officials of another educational
institution in which the student is
enrolled or seeks or intends to
enroll.
3. On request, or with the consent
of the student, under the
provisions of Section 10A,
regarding information released
with the approval of the
university to third parties.
The university shall not charge a
fee for copies of records
provided under the Act. There
shall not be a charge for search,
retrieval or inspection of the
record.
Copies of grades
provided under these provisions
will not carry the university seal
or official signature of approval.

�STUDENT
OF BEHAVIOR
MEMBERSHIP IN THE UNIVERSITY COMMUNITY carries
with it both privileges and responsibilities. The University cannot
accept acts that interfere with the basic process of the academic
enterprise, nor acts which interfere with the rights of other members
of its community. Following are the basic regulations which govern
the behavior and conduct on the Lake Superior State University
campus:
1. ASSEMBLY: No person, or
persons, shall assemble in a manner
which obstructs the free movement
of persons about the campus, or the
free and normal use of University
buildings and facilities, or prevents
or obstructs the normal operation of
the University.
2. ALCOHOL AND DRUGS:
Any student found guilty of being
under the influence of drugs, or
possessing, or selling drugs or
narcotics will be subject to
immediate dismissal from the
Any student who

subject to disciplinary action
including fines, or dismissal for
repeated offenses. A student of 21
years of age who purchases alcoholic
beverages for minors, or who
participates in any way, faces not
only legal action from the State but
additional penalty from the
University.
The laws of the State of Michigan
prohibit the sale of alcoholic
beverages on any unlicensed
premise. No alcohol may be offered
for sale on any unlicensed portion of
the University campus, and no
hidden fee (such as admissions
charges, charges for food, etc.) may

alcohol policy, distributed annually
to all campus residents. Violators
may suffer loss of campus privileges,
disciplinary action by the University,
and prosecution by civil authorities.
3. CHEATING AND PLAGIA
RISM:
The assumption of the
academic contract is that the student
does his or her own work: any
breach of the contract is considered
cheating. The faculty member who
detects a student cheating may take
appropriate action, such as assigning
a failing grade for the entire course.
A student who cheats is subject to
dismissal from the University. If, in
the opinion of the faculty member
involved, such action in warranted,
he or she will notify the chairman of
the scholastic standards committee
and the student to that effect in
writing. The scholastic standards

�STANDARDS
AND CONDUCT
committee will then conduct a
hearing in such a manner that the
student is given due process. If the
committee decides that dismissal is
warranted, the student shall have five
school days to appeal that decision to
the president of the University.
4. COMPLIANCE WITH UNI

are expected to comply with the
directions of University officials who
are acting in accordance with the
performance of their duties. Failure

by the University: it may withhold
official transcripts, prohibit further
registration, remove registration if
already granted, withhold further
forms of financial aid, and in severe
cases, seek legal action from outside
agencies, including the State of
Michigan itself.
6. FIREARMS AND EXPLO
SIVES: Explosives, firecrackers,
concealed weapons qnd similar items

enrolled in this institution are issued
an identification card to facilitate
recognition for the library, for
cashing checks, for campus voting,

any person on University-owned or
controlled property, or at Universitysponsored or supervised functions,
will result in disciplinary action by

courses completed during the final
year must be submitted to the
Admissions Office promptly after
completion of the school year. An
official score report from American
College Testing (ACT) must also be
submitted prior to class registration.
Prospective freshmen who have
already graduated from high school,
but have not attended any college or
university, must have an official
transcript sent directly from their
high school to the Admissions
Office. The transcript must include
all courses taken, starting with grade
nine, and graduation certification.
Admitted applicants who graduated
from high school fewer than 28
months prior to the date they wish to
enter the University must submit
their scores from American College
Testing (ACT) prior to registering
for classes.
Individuals who apply during their
final year of high school are
considered for admission according
to the following guidelines. The
primary factor in evaluating an
application for admission is the
individual’s grade point average in
academic subjects only. The grade
point average for each applicant is
recalculated, starting with grade nine,
and includes only academic courses
such as English, biology, chemistry,
physics, algebra, geometry,
trigonometry, senior math, social
studies, and foreign languages.
Seventy-five percent of the freshmen
entering LSSU have an overall high
school grade point average of 2.56 or
higher. The top 25 percent of the
entering freshmen have an overall
high school grade point average of
3.28 or higher. Secondary factors
which may also influence the
admissions decision are the number
of academic courses an applicant has
completed, the trend from year to
year of the applicant’s grades, class
rank, and recommen-dations. ACT
scores are rarely a factor in the
admissions decision.
All credentials should be submitt'
to the Admissions Office at lea.
three weeks before the intendeo
semester of entry. However, if all
available spaces become filled
processing of applications will end at
an earlier date.
To qualify for admission as
freshmen, applicants are expected to
be graduates of accredited secondary
schools. Any student graduating
from a non-accredited school should
contact the Dean of Admissions for
an explanation of the testing
procedure used to evaluate an
applicant who has attended a nonaccredited school.
Students denied admission may
reapply for admission after attending
another accredited college of their
choice and earning at least thirty

LODGING/FOOD
MODERN HOUSING facilities
are available for both men and
women. All students (enrolled for
12 hours or more) attending Lake
Superior State University must
comply with this housing policy:
All unmarried, non-veteran students
(enrolled for 12 hours or more) who
are within twenty-seven calendar
months of the date of their
graduation from high school (for this
purpose, all high school graduation
dates shall be assumed to be June
in any given year) must reside in
University residence hall, with t
following exceptions:
STUDENTS living with their
parents within reasonable commuting
distance.
STUDENTS exempted by the
housing director when residence hall
space is filled.
STUDENTS with unusual

exempted by the executive vicepresident.
To permit adjustments to local
housing problems, the University
reserves the right to assign all
students within the residence halls.
Room, residence hall, and apartment
preferences are considered according
to the dates of receipt of application,
with freshmen ordinarily given
priority in residence hall assignments
STUDENT SERVICES • 51
�and upperclassmen being given
priority in apartment assignments.
The University recognized that the
need for an exception to the policy
stated above may occasionally arise.
Student requests for permission to
live off campus will be considered
by the executive vice-president.
Should a student request permission
to live off campus for financial
reasons, the executive vice-president
shall apply the following criteria to
his or her request:
"FINANCIAL hardship" shall be
defined for this purpose as a
situation in which the total resources
of the student and family added to
the total financial aid available from
the University do not equal the dollar
amount budgeted by the financial
aids office as the minimum required
for on-campus residency. In such a
situation, the student will be
considered to face two alternatives:
a.) withdrawing from the dormitory
or b.) withdrawing from the
University.
AN EXAMPLE OF a student
who might be released from the
dormitory under the above definition
would be one whose financial
situation changed suddenly during
the year (perhaps due to the death of
a parent) and who applies for
assistance, after the aids program is
depleted.
A complete and modem cafeteria is
located in Canusa Hall. The Cisler
Center has a snack bar, informal
lounges and recreational areas.
A number of modem student
apartments are available on campus.

Stafford Student Loan Programs,
Board of Regents Scholarships,
Board of Regents Grant, Michigan
Competitive Scholarship, and all
other institutional scholarships and
grants.

credits count as one-half semester.
Students are reviewed annually (at
the completion of Winter Semester)
in regards to credits completed.
Students who do not meet the
completion schedule are considered
as not making satisfactory progress
and their financial aid is suspended
for subsequent semesters.
Once financial aid is suspended, both
the GPA and credit completion
criteria must be met in subsequent
semesters before reinstatement of aid
is possible.
If completion of "I" grades or other
record changes warrant a
reinstatement, a written notice from
the Registrar’s Office must be
presented to the Financial Aid Office
by the end of the semester following
suspension of aid.
Summer school attendance may be
used by the student to remove grade
point or credit earned deficiencies.
Students must file a request for
reinstatement with the Financial Aid
Office following the successful
completion of a summer term.
FINANCIAL AID
SUSPENSION
No aid, including but not limited to
the Stafford Student Loan, Perkins

Grants, will be granted once a
student’s eligibility is suspended. To
remove financial aid suspension
status, a student must have attained
the minimum cumulative grade point
average and credit earned
requirements while not receiving
financial aid processed through the
University. Successful students then
must advise the Financial Aid Office
in writing that they meet the
requirements for reinstatement.

determines their eligibility. The
University financial aid office
uses a standard procedure
established by the Dept, of
Education to calculate the amount
of the award.
STUDENT eligibility is
determined on the basis of a formula
developed annually by the Dept, of
Education and reviewed by
Congress. This formula is applied
consistently to all applicants and
takes into account indicators of
financial strength such as income,
assets, family size.
The formula uses the information
provided on the application to
produce eligibility index numbers.
These numbers are not dollar figures,
but are used, along with the cost of
student education, to determine the
actual amount of grants.
TO APPLY, applicants must
complete Financial Aid Forms (FAF)
or Family Financial Statements
(FFS) or Application for Federal
Student Aid (AFSA) and forward
them to the processor listed on the
form. Forms are available at high
schools, colleges, and financial aid
offices.

NOTES
�LOANS
Perkins Loans
(National Direct
Student Loans)
THE PERKINS Student Loan
program is for vocational,
undergraduate, and graduate students
who are enrolled at least half-time in
a participating postsecondary
institution and who need a loan to
meet their educational expenses.
STUDENTS MAY
BORROW up to $4,500 if they
are enrolled in vocational programs
or have completed less than two
years of a program leading to a
bachelor’s degree; $9,000 if they are
undergraduates who have already
completed two years of study toward
a bachelor’s degree (this total
includes any amount borrowed under
NDSL for the First two years of
study); and $18,000 for graduate or
professional study (this total includes
any Supplemental Educational
Opportunity Grants they borrowed
under NDSL for undergraduate
study).
REPAYMENT begins six
months (nine months for new
borrowers after July 1, 1987) after
students graduate or leave school for
other reasons. Students may be
allowed up to ten years to pay back
the loan, and during the repayment
period they will be charged five
percent interest on the unpaid
balance of the loan principal.
The amount of the repayment
depends upon the size of the debt
and ability to pay; but in most cases,
students must pay at least $30 a
month unless the school agrees to a
lesser amount. This agreement for a
lesser amount may be due to
extraordinary circumstances such as
prolonged unemployment.
DEFAULT: If students default
on a Perkins Loan and the school is
unable to collect, the Federal
Government will take action to
recover the loan. If such students
are discharged in bankruptcy,
become totally or permanently
disabled or die, loan obligations will
be canceled.

The load of Liberal Arts
In an age and an economy devoted to mass activity and group conformity, the
unique discipline of humane enlightenment traditionally associated with a study of
the Liberal Arts bears an increasingly heavy load. Two related arts are our special
concern: one is that of teaching, the other that of communicating with the larger
public beyond these walls. Both require a concern for the truthful and accurate use
of language - for truth, indeed, rather than indifferent "information." Both require
an exercise of feeling and imagination as much as of thought. Both are concerned
to discover and encourage whatever creative aptitudes may be latent in eacl
student.
Our aim is knowledge, not pedantry;
our prime responsibility is to foster
the free mind, the exploring spirit -and to insure them every reasonable
liberty of expression. Since it is the
purpose of many studies to remind
us that we are neither apes, nor ants,
such a purpose may be better served
in a small community, such as ours,
avowedly dedicated to the pursuit of
a liberal education, than in some
large institutions whose very size
prohibits individual attention or
concern. A four-year curriculum
leads to the bachelor of arts degree
in English Language and literature or
to the bachelor of arts or bachelor of
A
science degree in history,
suggested curriculum is outlined;
however, students should plan
individual programs of study in
consultation either with assigned
advisers, or with department head.
Electives are available throughout the
University; in liberal arts these
include not only additional courses in
English and history or sequences in
the modem foreign languages, but
also in speech, journalism, drama,
music, art, and philosophy. Leading
authorities recognize that a sound
liberal arts education is often the
most satisfactory preparation for
successful training and
accomplishment in many vocational
and professional areas,
Upon
completion of their degree program,
students will be prepared either to

BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES
BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES prepare students for careers in research and in
applied aspects of life sciences as well as providing a background in biology for
a career or further studies in allied sciences. Four-year programs lead to bachelor
of science degrees in biological sciences, fisheries and wildlife management,
environmental science and medical technology; bachelor of arts degree in biology;
and two associate degrees: natural resources technology and water quality
technology. Students electing to pursue four-year degree programs have the
opportunity of changing their majors to one of the other biology degree programs
without losing credits or having to make up deficiencies. Students working toward
these four-year degree programs have the same basic first year of courses.
BACHELOR OF ARTS/SCIENCE
Biology
Lake Superior State University is
ideally located for field studies of
terrestrial and aquatic resources.
Students electing a variety of courses
in ecology and applied ecology can
qualify for state and federal positions
in fisheries biology, wildlife biology,
and other related fields. Laboratory
courses give students knowledge and
techniques necessary for many
technical positions with industry and
governmental agencies.
and numerous other fields can
receive a strong undergraduate
background at Lake Superior State
University that will enable them to
pursue a career or graduate education
elsewhere. Admission requirements
for professional and graduate
universities vary throughout the
United States and Canada. Students
planning post-baccalaureate
education should plan with their
advisor to insure that these
requirements are met.

In addition, one biology unit and one
unit of geometry or trigonometry are
highly recommended. Students not
meeting these requirements may
enter on a provisional basis. Ontario
Grade 13 students are required to
take departmental competency
examinations before credit will be
granted in biology and chemistry.
Substitution for courses required as
part of biology degree requirements
must be approved by the department
head.
Honors Program
This program is a research sequence
open to biology, chemistry and
environmental science majors with a
minimum overall GPA of 3.5
through the first semester of the
junior year. Majors electing this
sequence will select an instructor as
their supervisor. An undergraduate
research project will be outlined in
consultation with the supervising
instructor and submitted to the
department for approval. The outline
must be approved before the first
term of the senior year. At the end
of the seventh week of the spring
term during the senior year, the
students will forward an abstract of
their work to the department head
and during the tenth week of the
same semester will submit the final
copy of their research papers in
publishable form, for departmental
approval.
All grades for this
sequence will be deferred until the
final semester. Eight credit hours of
honors credit will be substituted for
8 hours of electives upon successful
completion of the research sequence.
The special problem sequence will
not be open to students electing the
honors program research sequence.
The completed research may be used
for Senior Thesis.
Special Problems
In biology, chemistry, environmental
science: Students desiring to enroll in
BL, CH, EV Special Problem
courses will be granted permission to
take the course(s) provided the
following conditions are in existence
at the time of petition: (A) junior or
senior standing; (B) With overall
GPA of at least 2.5; (C) No I grades
on transcript. Students meeting these
requirements must petition depart
ment faculty with a detailed onepage outline of work and date to be
completed. Request for more than

�FISHERIES &
WILDLIFE
Fisheries and wildlife courses place
strong emphasis on understanding
organisms in their habitats. Fisheries
and wildlife courses blend a
conceptual understanding of fish and
wildlife populations with practical
knowledge of relevant lab and field
techniques. Students work with, and
must learn to identify, a wide variety
of plants, fish, birds, and mammals.
Students graduating from the
rigorous curriculum requirements in
the fisheries and wildlife degree can
meet the qualifications of state and
federal government agencies as
technicians and biologists,
To
qualify for any type of position as a
wildlife biologist with a federal
agency, a minimum of 9 credits is
needed in botany. Other career
opportunities include positions as
naturalists, conservation officers, and
related professions. The rigorous
curriculum provides an extremely
competitive background for
admittance to graduate school. All
students majoring in fisheries and
wildlife management are encouraged
to consider pursuing a graduate
degree.

�□ Computer Information Systems
Management concentration
The CISM area of concentration is an integrated program of
management and computer information systems. It provides a broad
study of business management with the opportunity to extend this
study by elective courses. The curriculum includes a strong
emphasis on computer-based information systems including systems
analysis, systems design, database systems, systems management and
computer programming. The COBOL (Common Business Oriented
Language) is studied in depth, with an emphasis on program design.
COBOL is also used as the host language in the study of database
program development. Students have an introduction to RPG
(Report Program Generator), and they may elect to study other
programming languages.
Career oriented: Although graduates should expect to begin their careers as
programmer/analysts, their background prepares them to develop professionally
along alternative career paths including systems analysis, systems design,
programming project management, systems development management, and
information systems department management.

�□ Management concentration
A broad survey of all phases of business operations for students
1. planning to operate their own business who seek a broad business
background;
2. preparing for jobs in large organizations with training programs
in which specialization is taught after employment; and
3. those who desire a general business background at the
undergraduate level prior to taking more specialized graduate
work. This program provides breadth of preparation rather than
specialization but with sufficient flexibility to permit students to
emphasize such professional fields as personnel management,
production management, or the broad aspects of management
philosophy and practice.

COMPUTER SCIENCE
In recent years, a quiet revolution has taken place. The computer has moved
out of the back room of large corporations and research institutions into the front
offices and living rooms of modem society. Computer scientists work at the
leading edge of this revolution, developing software systems that allow us to utilize
the electronic hardware the engineers have built. The work is challenging, and
often frustrating, but is ultimately very rewarding.
THE DEPARTMENT offers a
Bachelor of Science In Computer
and Mathematical Sciences that
combines a study of digital
computing with the study of
mathematical concepts.
The
resulting program provides students
with considerable versatility and
potential for future endeavors in
which practical quantitative skills are
important. A MINOR in computer
science is also available to provide
excellent support and value to most
majors offered at the University.
ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS:
To qualify for admission to the
program in computer and
mathematical sciences, applicants
must satisfy University admission
requirements as described in the
Admissions section of this Catalog.
(This information is also included in
the Viewbook.)
Secondary school academic subjects
should include:
Three units of
English, two units of algebra, one
unit of geometry. It is strongly
recommended that applicants have a
fourth unit of college-preparatory
mathematics which includes one-half
unit of trigonometry. A unit of
chemistry or physics is also
recommended.
Completion of the program may
require more than four years for
students who do not meet all
entrance requirements.
For students with college-level
achievement, the opportunity will be
offered, by means of examination, to
obtain course credit or placement
into an advanced course.

GEOLOGY
SINCE THE BEGINNING of the solar system our earth has
been developing. Our present environment is the result of the
cumulative interaction of many dynamic physical, chemical and
biological processes.
GEOLOGY deals with the
dynamic earth, its physical makeup,
and its physical and organic history.
It involves the study of changes
which have taken place and the
forces which cause, and are now
causing, these changes. By drawing
on concepts of biology, chemistry,
mathematics and physics geologists
attempt to understand the physical
environment in which we live and
from which we derive most of the
natural resources essential to our
civilization. Our civilization requires
many
non-renewable natural resources in
order to survive. Since the turn of
the century, we have used more and
more of these resources at an everincreasing rate and now have critical
supply problems. Our demands upon
the environment have significantly
changed the earth around us, and, if
we are to survive, we must live
within the constraints imposed by
nature.
Geologists study and
understand these constraints. They
must apply their knowledge to
achieve harmony between the human
race and its environment.

�of geologic science and geophysics. Increases in the demand for
energy fuels and mineral products result in an expansion of
opportunities for graduates in geology. Students contemplating
careers in geology should, upon graduating, expect to travel, often to
remote and uninhabited areas. Most of the jobs entail outdoor field
work, often under difficult conditions.
Other new fields are now
requiring geologists, such as NASA,
EPA, and companies and agencies
involved with environmental
concerns.
The geological
environment of Lake Superior State
University provides unexcelled
opportunities for field study of
classic sections illustrating
Precambrian stratigraphy, structure,
intrusions, and metamorphism and
undisturbed Paleozoic sedimentary
formations. Proximity to deposits of
iron, copper, uranium, dolomite and
the Michigan oil and gas fields as
well as other minerals is an
additional advantage. Students are
eligible to participate in the
department’s active research in
micropaleontology (conodonts).

MATHEMATICS
A MOST PRODUCTIVE TOOL: Mathematics is the
foundation of the sciences and the technology largely responsible for
our present standard of living. Mathematics is one of the most
productive tools yet discovered for unraveling the mysteries of our
COMPUTER, GEOLOGIC AND MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES 148
�universe. In some instances, it is the only language in which some
ideas can be expressed. Courses offered in this discipline provide the
foundation for future work in mathematics. Our teaching objectives
are twofold: to give students an understanding of mathematics, and
to impart an understanding of the many ways in which this tool may
be used.
ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS:
To qualify for admission to the
program in mathematics, applicants
must satisfy University admission
requirements as described in the
Admissions section of the Catalog.
(This information is also included in
the Viewbook.)
Secondary school academic subjects
should include:
Three units of
English, two units of algebra, one
unit of geometry. It is strongly
recommended that applicants have a
fourth unit of college-preparatory
mathematics which includes one-half
unit of trigonometry. A unit of
chemistry or physics is also
recommended.
Completion of the program may
require more than four years for
students who do not meet all
entrance requirements.
For students with college-level
achievement, the opportunity will be
offered, by means of examination, to
obtain course credit or placement
into an advanced course.

THIS PROGRAM combines the disciplines of mechanical,
electrical, computer, and manufacturing engineering technologies in
preparing students for modem manufacturing and production career
responsibilities.
The capstone program assumes a
two-year background in an
appropriate engineering technology
or pre-engineering curriculum.
Graduates will be prepared to design,
integrate, and program various
systems for automated
manufacturing. Technical courses in
the final two years will be based
upon the student’s previous
background and are designed to
produce a well-rounded and versatile
engineering technologist.
Students from community colleges
with a background in an engineering
technology curriculum can usually
transfer directly into the third year of
the automated systems program.
Most community college programs
have transfer curriculum agreements

THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH SCIENCES offers a bachelor of
science degree in nursing which is based on the belief that nursing is goal-oriented,
directed toward assisting human beings in health promotion, maintenance,
restoration, and rehabilitation. The program is based upon human needs theory
throughout the life cycle and is built on a liberal arts foundation in the belief that
all aspects of society must be considered influential factors in the health of human
beings.
ACCREDITATION:
The
Bachelor of Science in Nursing
Program is approved by the
Michigan Board of Nursing and is
accredited by the National League
for Nursing.

developing an understanding of the physiological and psychological
consequences of exercise in various populations, and applying this
knowledge to fitness, clinical and research settings. The need for
exercise science professionals is growing in each of these areas as
exercise continues to occupy a prominent role in enhancing the
quality of life and maintaining health; and, gains prominence in the
treatment and prevention of lifestyle diseases such as cardiovascular
disease, hypertension, obesity, and diabetes.
Employment
opportunities for exercise science professionals are becoming more
varied and requiring increased levels of expertise and technical skills.
This major is designed to prepare students to meet these professional
challenges through a skill- development approach in the critical areas
of exercise testing and exercise prescription. The required 124
graduation credits emphasize course work in
physiology,
pathophysiology, sport medicine, laboratory procedures, research.
methods, exercise psychology and computer applications.

�□ Athletic Training Concentration
AN ATHLETIC TRAINER is a highly skilled professional who deals
directly with injuries which occur to athletes. The athletic trainer works closely
with physicians and other health care professionals in order to provide today’s
athletes with the best medical care possible. Those who pursue a career in
athletic training may seek employment on the high school, college, or
professional sport levels. In addition, the athletic trainer may be employed in
sports medicine and health fitness clinics, the number of which has greatly
increased in the past decade. All the above mentioned positions usually require
certification by the National Athletic Trainers’ Association. Students
completing the concentration at Lake Superior State University will be more
marketable in the field of exercise science and eligible for a variety of graduate
programs in athletic training and sports medicine throughout the country. Any
student wishing to achieve eligibility to sit for the National Athletic Trainers’
Association certification examination will receive individual guidance in that
direction.

as a profession has been tremendous. Through the use of
recreational activities as a modality, the Therapeutic Recreation
Specialist improves the physical, social, mental and emotional
functioning of individuals with a variety of limiting conditions.
Canadian and American students graduating with a bachelor of
science in Therapeutic Recreation have been very successful in
finding employment in a variety of settings, such as hospitals, homes
for the aged, special recreation associations, prisons, municipal
recreation programs and agencies providing services for the
physically challenged.

POLITICAL SCIENCE
Political Science is the systematic study of government and
politics. Since government and politics are found at many levels—
international, national, state, and local-and all over the world,
political science has many facets. All of these facets receive
attention in the political science program at Lake Superior State
University.
The goal of the curriculum is to
prepare students interested in
government and politics for
rewarding careers and lifetimes of
learning and involvement. To best
achieve this goal, three distinct
concentrations or tracks are available
for students of political science:
1. general political science
2 pre-law,
3. public administration.
Each concentration has beedesigned to provide a combination
knowledge and skills that is uniqm
appropriate for those with particu I
career goals. However, choosir
one concentration over the otheri
does not limit a student to one
particular career path-each of the
concentrations provides a solid
grounding in political science.
BACHELOR OF ARTS/SCIENCE
POLITICAL SCIENCE - GENERAL
The general political science concentration is designed to
provide a broad education in political science. It is most appropriate
for students who plan to attend graduate school in political science
and for those with an interest in government and politics who wish
to get a broad, liberal education as preparation for a career in
business, government, or journalism. Students who continue their
education in graduate school most often pursue careers
SOCIAL SCIENCES - SOCIAL SCIENCES - 209
�as professors, researchers, consultants, or government officials.
Students who do not pursue graduate study choose from a wide
variety of career options in business, government, and journalism.

POLITICAL SCIENCE - PRE LAW
The pre-law concentration provides students of political
science interested in legal careers with a planned curriculum that
prepares them especially well for law school and for careers in law.
Students who choose this option are often interested in careers as
attorneys, prosecutors, or judges. It should be noted that this is not
a mandatory pre-law curriculum; it is a curriculum for pre-law
students who have a special interest in government and politics.
Noteworthy features of this
concentration are a special course on
the nature of legal careers and how
to prepare for them; two courses in
legal research and writing that
provide students with a head start in
using a law library and in conducting
legal research; and a well-designed
combination of support courses in
logic, debate, writing, accounting,
and research.

POLITICAL SCIENCE - PUBLIC
ADMINISTRATION
The
public administration
concentration is most
appropriate for students who plan to work in an administrative
capacity in public agencies or nonprofit organizations with public
missions. Students who choose this option are preparing for careers
of public service. Such careers may be pursued through positions in
government agencies at the local, state or provincial, and national
levels. Other positions may be found in nonprofit organizations
involved in public concerns, such as Common Cause, the
Environmental Defense Fund, and the Michigan Health Council.
Some of these careers of public service may be pursued with only a
bachelor’s degree. Others may require completion of a master’s
degree in public administration or a related field.
Senior public administration students
will complete an internship as part of
their education. Internships allow
students to apply the knowledge they
have gained in the classroom in an
on-the-job setting. They are also
valuable for creating a record of
experience that will impress
prospective employers and help the
student become established in a
career.
Internships, which are
arranged with the assistance of an
advisor, are available with local,
state or provincial, and federal
agencies.

SOCIAL SCIENCES - SOCIAL SCIENCES • 214
�assistant studies program at Lake Superior State University. See
appropriate political science and legal assistant studies program
listings, which are part of the Social Sciences Department.
Students interested in a legal career
should consult with the pre-law
advisor early and often during their
undergraduate studies. The pre-law
advisor is located in the Social
Sciences Department,
Pre-law
planning based on consultation with
the advisor will allow the student to
make an informed choice of
curriculum and of elective courses
that will help with the development
of the skills mentioned below. The
pre-law advisor will also provide
pre-law students with a variety of
materials about admission to law
school, the law school admission
test, and careers in law.
A student’s undergraduate grade
point average and his or her score on
the Law School Admission Test
(LSAT) are the two most important
criteria for admission to law school.
Details on admission policies of law
schools throughout the country, and
the degree to which these schools
may use other criteria in addition to
grade point average and LSAT score,
may be found in the Pre-Law
Handbook. The Pre-Law Handbook
is published by the Law School
Admission Council/Law School
Admission Services and is the
official law school guide.
This handbook may be examined by
contacting the pre-law advisor, or
may be purchased in many book
stores.
Although there is no prescribed
major which must be taken for
admission to law school, some
curricula may be better than others
in helping students develop skills
necessary for admission to law
school and for a successful legal
career. A broad and challenging
undergraduate curriculum is the best
preparation for law school. The PreLaw Handbook stresses that a
student’s undergraduate education
should lead to the development of
skills in three areas: (1) the ability to
understand and express oneself well
in words, (2) the development of a
critical understanding of the human
institutions and values with which
the law deals, and (3) the
development of creative power in
thinking. A pre-law student should
consider the need to develop these
skills in selecting his or her
curriculum. In addition, students
should think about whether the
curriculum they choose can provide
an alternative to a career in law
should they eventually choose not to
pursue a legal career.
PSYCHOLOGY
BACHELOR OF ARTS/BACHELOR OF SCIENCES
PSYCHOLOGY

SOCIAL SCIENCES - SOCIAL SCIENCES -215
�exposure to the areas that define contemporary scientific psychology.
The psychology major helps a student develop analytical thinking
and communication skills which are applicable to a variety of
careers. Many psychology majors pursue post baccalaureate degrees.
Psychology electives enable students to construct a program of study
consistent with their professional goals. The Bachelor of Science and
Bachelor of Arts degrees differ only in the nature of the cognate;
science classes or foreign language classes, respectively.

SOCIOLOGY
Sociology is the scientific study of human social groups, from
families to societies. In sociology we examine how variables such

�MASTER OF BUSINESS
ADMINISTRATION
The Master of Business Administration (MBA) Program
provides a graduate management education to further prepare
students for careers in business, industry and government agencies.
The MBA Program reflects a realis
tic approach to graduate work in two
ways. First, the courses tend to be
more applied or practical, and are
thus more useful for the practicing
manager. Second, the courses are
offered evenings and weekends,
tailored specifically for the employed
person.
PROGRAM
OBJECTIVES
1. To provide individuals with
advanced academic work in the
field of business and manage
ment education.
2. To provide individuals with a
graduate program that is oriented
to a pragmatic study of business
and management education.
3. To provide individuals with a
program that will prepare them
for management positions in
public and private units in society.
4. To provide individuals with an
opportunity to develop a capacity
for self-directed and professional
growth.
5. To provide individuals with a
program that provides a broadbase exposure to the general
concepts of management.
6. To provide individuals employed
full-time with an opportunity to
secure graduate management
education on a part-time basis.
7. To provide opportunities for a
multi-disciplinary approach to
learning through an exchange of
graduate faculty of other institu
tions.
FACULTY
The MBA graduate faculty consists
of full-time Lake Superior State
University faculty, adjunct faculty
from other colleges and universities,
and visiting scholars. Faculty are
selected on the basis of their creden
tials, business training, industrial
experience, professional reputation,
and interest in graduate management
education.
MBA ADVISORY
COUNCIL
The MBA Advisory Council assists
the University in curriculum devel
opment and serves as a liaison be
tween the MBA program and the
area it serves. Active interchange
with this Council helps MBA faculty
and staff to be sensitive to current
trends in business and to the profes
sional development needs there.

MISSION STATEMENT
Lake Superior tState University is a co-educational, public,
comprehensive institution that recognizes as its primary mission the
offering of challenging undergraduate programs to students from
Michigan, Northern Ontario, and the near Midwest in anticipation of
preparing them for stimulating lives and satisfying careers in the
twenty-first century.
By design a relatively small institution, Lake Superior Stave
University strives to carry out its primary mission by realizing a
collegial community in which all its constituencies share in the
teaching, research, and regional service activities of the Institution.
In this supportive environment students, staff, faculty, and
administrators demonstrate high regard for one another as valued
members of the community, thus providing opportunities for
emotional and social maturation as well as intellectual growth.
AIT educational programming at Lake Superior State University rests
on an acknowledged commitment to an integrated relationship
between the liberal arts and professional/technical fields. That
relationship fosters the development of students as contributing
citizens, viable professionals, and fulfilled individuals, who think
critically, appreciate creativity, have problem-solving skills and
express continuing intellectual curiosity about themselves, others, and
the world around them. The University’s international setting
complements its efforts to assist students in the expansion of their
perspectives.
Lake Superior State University’s primary mission, thus, draws its
validity from the knowledge that today’s students—tomorrow’s
leaders will best serve humanity by having: the necessary infor
mation to understand the past; the critical thinking skills to assess
contemporary problems; and the enlightened courage to face with
enthusiasm the uncertainty of the future.

About this catalog . . .
The Lake Superior State University
Catalog does not constitute a contract
between the University and its student on
either a collective or individual basis. It
represents LSSU’s best academic, social,
and financial planning at the time of
publication.
Course and curriculum
changes, modification of tuition; fees,
dormitory, meal, and other charges, plus
unforeseen changes in other aspects of
LSSU life, sometimes occur after the
Catalog has been printed, but before the
changes can be incorporated in a later
edition of the same publication. Because
of this, Lake Superior State University
does not assume a contractual obligation
with its students for the contents of this
Catalog.
LSSU admits and hires men and women,
veterans, and disabled individuals of any
race, color, national, or ethnic origin, or
marital status in compliance with all
appropriate legislation, including the Age
Discrimination Act. The compliance
officer is Ruth Gendzwill.

�WHAT
Lake Superior State University encourages in its students a desire
to learn and a willingness to serve. The primary purpose of the
University is to educate and train young people for rewarding careers
and lives of meaning. We:
REGARD
STUDENTS as
mature, responsible individuals en
gaged in the processes of self gov
ernment which are essential in a
democratic society.
TEACH INDIVIDUALS, not
groups’, with a close-working rela
tionship between instructors and
students. Each student has a faculty
advisor and may also consult the
counseling service.
EDUCATE STUDENTS for
well-rounded lives’, not only intellec
tual competence, but physical, social,
and cultural development. The pro
gram of general education includes
courses such as recreational activi
ties, natural sciences, social sciences,
English language and literature, and
the humanities. Athletic events,
clubs, dramatic and cultural presenta
tions, and student self-government
organizations offer a wide variety of
co-curricular activities.
TEACH FUNDAMENTALS
and their application. In modem
society knowledge increases so rap
idly that specific facts may become
obsolete even before they are widely
learned. Close attention to funda
mentals is necessary. The University
attempts to inculcate habits of learn
ing, thinking and doing which,
thoughtfully modified, will endure
for a lifetime.
ENCOURAGE INITIATIVE,
self criticism, and intellectual curios
ity, leam by doing. Education in
fundamental knowledge should be
supplemented by laboratory and field
work in order that university prepa
ration closely resembles conditions in
professional careers. Students should
develop lifelong intellectual curiosity
and discovery, become constructive
critics of themselves and of society,
and leam to prize creative, original
thinking.
IN RETROSPECT
HISTORIC: Lake Superior State
University is a hilltop campus, situat
ed on the historic site of Fort Brady,
a U.S. Army post dating back to
1822. The campus overlooks the St.
Mary’s River and the famous Soo
Locks. After the fort was deactivat
ed in 1944, the property was
acquired by Michigan Technological
University to establish a branch.
Thus, the campus is a blend of his
toric and modem architecture. The
University was accorded four-year
status by the State Board of Educa
tion in 1966, and authorized to grant
baccalaureate degrees.
THE UNIVERSITY • 6
�WE ARE
The first baccalaureate class graduat
ed in 1967. Autonomy, separating
the University from Michigan Tech
nological University, was granted
January 1, 1970. On November 4,
1987, Governor James Blanchard
signed legislation changing Lake
Superior State from College to Uni
versity.
CAMPUS RESIDENCE facili
ties include two traditional halls, a
Student Village with eight-person
apartments, townhouses, a mobile
home park, several apartment build
ings and unique family-style houses.
Canusa Hall provides food service
facilities. The Walker Cisler Center
offers recreational facilities as well
as a snack bar, student offices, and
meeting rooms. The James Norris
Physical Education Center provides
ample opportunity for a variety of
recreational activities, intramurals,
courses and intercollegiate athletics.
The Center for Applied Sciences and
Engineering Technology offers stu
dents the latest in modem technolog
ical resources.
A seasoned faculty and high academ
ic standards have earned Lake Supe
rior State University a reputation for
an enriched education in such areas
as liberal arts, engineering technol
ogy, business administration, social
sciences, biological sciences and
their allied fields.
The need to provide continuing
education for adults has not been
overlooked. The University offers
evening courses as well as confer
ences and cultural programs. Enroll-
ment of part-time students in day
classes is encouraged.
Students find the close relationship
between faculty and the student body
is extremely valuable in the first
years of university work. No one is
"lost in the crowd" here.
THE CAMPUS
ENVIRONMENT: The campus
provides a true university environ
ment, with its own classroom and
laboratory buildings, residence halls,
library, auditorium, gymnasium, food
services, and health center. It con
sists of 121 acres of spacious, wood
ed campus on the western heights of
Sault Ste. Marie overlooking the St.
Mary’s River, Lake Superior and
Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario.
Students find that the city of Sault
Ste. Marie and its environs offer
much of value to enhance their edu
Sault Ste.
cational experiences.
Marie is one of the oldest cities in
the United States. It was a fur trad
ing center as early as the second
quarter of the seventeenth century.
In 1641, a Jesuit mission was estab
lished here, and 27 years later Father
Marquette founded at the Sault the
first permanent settlement within the
limits of Michigan. The Sault cele
brated its 300th birthday in 1968.
ACCREDITATION: How does
this university rank with other educa
tional institutions scholastically?
Accreditation means the curricula,
faculty, equipment, laboratories, and
library of an institution have been
THE UNIVERSITY 7
�inspected and approved. Lake Supe
rior State University is accredited by
the North Central Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools.
Fourth year instruction in medical
technology is in hospitals approved
by the Council on Medical Education
and Hospitals of the American Medi
cal Association.
Engineering Technology associate
degree programs accredited by the
Accreditation Board for Engineering
and Technology, Inc. include: com
puter; drafting and design; electrical
and mechanical engineering technol
ogy. The Board has also accredited
four-year programs in electrical,
mechanical and automated systems
engineering technology.
The nursing program is accredited by

NOTES
EQUAL OPPORTUNITY 15
�ACADEMIC
The Academic Policies and regulations of Lake Superior State
University which are intended to guide students through an orderly
and successful pursuit of their academic goals, describe the necessary
actions and procedures for which students are responsible. They
outline the students’ expectations and rights while enrolled as a
university student. Advisors, department heads and personnel of
university offices will help students to understand these policies and
regulations; however, it is each student’s individual responsibility to
comply with them.
THE ACADEMIC
YEAR
Lake Superior State University is on
a semester system. (Previous to Fall
Semester 1991 it was on a quarter
system.) The academic year consists
of a Fall Semester (late August
through December) and a Spring
Semester (January through April or
early May),
Fall and Spring
semesters consist of fifteen weeks of
instruction followed by a week for
During the
final examinations.
Summer Semester (May through
early August) most courses are
conducted during an eight week
period which includes two days for
final examinations. Specific dates
for each semester are found in the
University Calendar located
elsewhere in this book.
ACADEMIC CREDIT
In a lecture/recitation type course
students receive one credit for each
fi fteen hours of classroom
instruction. (For example, a threecredit course of this type might be
scheduled 9:00 to 9:50 AM Monday,
Wednesday and Friday. An "hour"
period is usually only 50 minutes
long, with ten minutes allowed for
students to move from class to
class.)
Courses including laboratory, field
work or other non-lecture formats
may be scheduled for more than one
hour per week per credit. In general,
one credit requires an average of
three hours of the student’s time per
In
week for the semester,
lecture/recitation courses this would
normally be accomplished with one
hour of classroom attendance and
two hours of preparation or study.
An average student credit load per
semester is sixteen credits. One
hundred twenty four credits is the
minimum number required for a
Some
baccalaureate degree,
programs require more than this
minimum.
CLASSIFICATION
OF STUDENTS
Students are assigned to one of four
class levels as follows: 0 to 25
credits = Freshman; 26 to 55 credits
= Sophomore; 56 to 87 = Junior;
88+ = Senior.

�POLICIES
STUDENT
CURRICULUM
CHOICE AND
ADVISING
Students are encouraged to select a
major program upon admission to
The academic
the University,
department offering the chosen
program is called the "major
department". The department head
of the major department assigns an
academic advisor to each of the
students. An advisor assists students
in course selection each semester, in
understanding program and
university requirements and
regulations, in evaluating academic
progress, and in other matters related
to successful academic achievement.
Lake Superior State University is
firmly committed to providing
students personalized advising and
support. Students are encouraged to
actively seek help from their
instructors, advisors, department
head, Counseling Center, and any
other faculty, staff or office which
they believe might be of assistance.
The Counseling Center provides
academic tutoring as does the Native
American Center and academic
departments. These services are
usually provided without charge to
Additional
enrolled students,
information concerning advising
services is listed under testing and
counseling service in this catalog.
Students who are undecided about
their choice of a major program are
classified as majoring in Liberal
Arts, an associate degree program,
and assigned a provisional academic
advisor until another major is
chosen.
Students may change their major
curriculum by processing a
Curriculum Change Card through the
Registrar’s Office. The Registrar’s
Office, Counseling Center and
departmental offices can provide
students with the card and
instructions for processing it.
Curriculum Change cards must be
filed with the Registrar’s Office each
time a curriculum change is made so
that advisor materials, grade reports
and graduation information will be
sent to the correct department and
advisor. Students will be assigned a
new advisor when a curriculum
change is made.
Students may
request a change of advisor by
asking their major department head
to make such change.
SEMESTER
COURSE
SELECTION
Each semester the Scheduling Office
publishes a Course Schedule listing
all courses offered during the
semester along with related
information such as days and hour of
course offering, instructor and the
final examination time. This booklet
is available several weeks before the
semester begins and contains timely
and important information for
students. Students are responsible
for reading each semester’s Course
Schedule and adhering to its
instructions. Course Schedules and
ACADEMIC POLICIES
17
�scheduling materials are available
from all departmental offices and the
Scheduling Office.
After academic advising, students
schedule courses by submitting
required materials to the Scheduling
Office according to the time
schedule described in the Course
Schedule. After scheduling courses,
students have a limited period of
time to pay tuition and related fees.
At the end of this period
deregistration occurs. Deregistration
means that students' registration in
all classes is canceled. Students who
are deregistered will usually find
fewer available classes from which
to choose when rescheduling.
Several factors assist or limit student
course selections.
Placement
examinations for mathematics and
English are administered by the
Counseling and Testing Center
located in Brown Hall.
These
examinations are required of all
students before they schedule their
first courses in mathematics or
English.
MAXIMUM STUDENT
CREDIT LOAD is twenty
credits per semester, with the
exception that students having a 3.00
cumulative grade point average may
take additional credit with written
approval of their major department
head.
Students on academic
probation should not take more than
fifteen credits per semester.
PREREQUISITES.
Students
must satisfy prerequisites, and any
other stated conditions before
enrolling in a course or have
permission from an instructor to
waive the prerequisites. Enrollment
in a course may be revoked (with an
N grade) if it is found during the
regular drop period that the proper
prerequisites have not been met.
Responsibility rests with students to
be certain that they have the
approved prerequisites.
Permission to take any course out of
sequence is seldom granted even to
exceptional students, since electing a
course for which one is not prepared
imposes an additional burden not
reflected in the total number of
credits being carried. Students must
earn passing grades in a prerequisite
course before taking the next course
in sequence. For some courses a C
(2.00) grade or better is required.
Exceptions may be made only by
department heads or the course
instructor. Students who receive a D
grade in a prerequisite course or a
course in the major are strongly
advised (and may be required) to
repeat the course, and raise the D,
before continuing.
REPEATS. Students may not
repeat a course by enrollment or
examination if they have passed a
course for which the repeated course
is a prerequisite. Exceptions may be
granted by the department head with
the concurrence of the Registrar.
CHANGES IN COURSE
SCHEDULE. A period of time
is provided at the beginning of each
semester for students to add or delete
courses or reschedule all classes after
having been deregistered. Courses
deleted during this period will not
appear on a student’s permanent
record (transcript). The add/delete
period for a full semester course
begins on the first day of the
semester, and ends on the sixth
university business day. For courses
which span less than a full semester,
a shorter add/delete period may be
established. During the add/delete
period schedule changes are initiated
at departmental offices which
ACADEMIC POLICIES 18
�maintain current records of class
availability. In some cases faculty
permission will be required for
Detailed
course changes,
information on adding or deleting
classes is provided to students in the
Course Schedule booklet each
semester. A STUDENT’S ADD OR
WITHDRAWAL FROM A
COURSE IS NOT OFFICIALLY
COMPLETED UNLESS THE
APPROPRIATE FORM IS FILED
WITH THE SCHEDULING
OFFICE. Students are advised to
retain the official receipt they are
given upon completion of an add or
drop procedure.
LATE ADDS. Students request
ing to add courses after the end of
the add/delete period must obtain
permission and a special form for
this purpose from the Registrar’s
Office, obtain the written approval of
the instructor, and then return the
form to the Registrar’s Office. A
service charge will be charged for
this procedure. Students are
responsible for all class work
missed previous to adding a class.
NON-ATTENDANCE AT
FIRST CLASS. Students sched
uled for a course, but not attending
the first class meeting, may be
deleted by the instructor during the
delete period. In this case, the
instructor shall submit a delete form
and notify the student.
DROPPING COURSES
AFTER THE ADD/DELETE
PERIOD. Students may drop a
course during the first five weeks
(twenty five school days) of a full
semester course. For courses running
less than a full semester the semester
Course Schedule booklet will contain
official dates each semester. (The
time period for dropping will be
equal to a third of the course
instructional period.) A student’s
record shall indicate an N grade for
each course officially dropped during
this period. Forms for the procedure
are available in departmental,
Scheduling and Registrar’s Offices.
After the five-week drop period,
drops will be allowed only for
A
extenuating circumstances,
student’s record shall indicate a W
grade for courses officially dropped
during this period. The student must
receive the instructor’s recommen
dation and the approval of the
Registrar. Forms may be obtained at
the Registrar’s Office.
CLASS
ATTENDANCE
Students at Lake Superior State
University should be sufficiently
mature to attend classes without
being required to do so. Students
must decide for themselves when it
is necessary to be absent. In making
such a decision, they must
understand that instructors are
authorized to lower grades if they
believe a student’s absence requires
this action.
The policy on
attendance reads as follows:
1. Absences will be handled
according to the instructor’s
discretion, consistent with
departmental policy.
2. Instructors may report
consecutive or excessive absences
to the Executive Vice President.
3. Participation in an official
University function shall be
considered an excused absence
when approved by the Vice
President of Academic Affairs.
Students shall not be penalized
for participation in such a
function; but students are
ACADEMIC POLICIES 19
�responsible for work missed and
must confer with their instructor
on this matter.
COMPLETE
WITHDRAWAL
FROM THE
UNIVERSITY
Full time students who withdraw
from the University during the First
Five-weeks of the semester should
report in person to the Counseling
Center and complete a withdrawal
form for the Registrar’s ofFice. The
Registrar will authorize the
appropriate refund, if any. Refunds
will be mailed after the end of the
refund period. After the Five-week
drop period, students must report to
the Registrar’s OfFice for the
Withdrawal Form.
Proper clearance of University
obligations assures that students can
later receive transfer of credits.
Students
with a hold on their
transcript will not receive a transcript
of credits
until clearance is
complete.
THE GRADING
SYSTEM
GRADE POINT AVERAGE
(GPA). To compute the grade point
average for a semester, divide the
total points earned by the total
credits carried,
Credits carried
include those failed or earned but not
credits for Credit/No Credit courses.
To Figure the cumulative grade point
average divide the total points earned
by the total credits carried in all
semesters,
When a course is
repeated, count only the credits
carried and the points of the last
grade earned. Thus, successfully
repeating courses in which students
initially earned a D or F is an
effective way for them to improve
their cumulative GPA. A cumulative
grade point average of 2.00 for all
credits carried is required for
graduation.
Further, the student
must compile a 2.00 grade point
average for all departmental courses
required in the student’s major and
minor(s).

Incomplete grades (I):
An
incomplete grade is given only when
students, because of circumstances
beyond their control, are unable to
complete a segment of the course. It
must be made up by the date
speciFied by the instructor which
must be within a maximum of two
semesters in residence, or else the
incomplete grade becomes a failure.
Summer semesters are not counted
unless a student is enrolled for
classes during the summer.
No Grade (N) and
Withdrawal (W) grades: An
N grade will be given for each
course officially dropped during the
ACADEMIC POLICIES • 20
�first five weeks and a W grade will
be given for each course officially
dropped after the five week drop
period.
Deferred grades (Z): Deferred
grades are given in those special
courses where work is planned to
extend beyond a single semester.
GRADE REPORTS. Reports
concerning grades and credits are
sent to each student after each
semester. These reports are mailed
to home addresses.
DEAN’S LIST. Students who
complete twelve or more credits in a
semester with a grade point average
of 3.50 or higher will be placed on
the dean’s list for that semester,
acknowledging their outstanding
achievement.
ACADEMIC
PROBATION
Students at Lake Superior State
University enjoy a considerable
degree of self-determination; they
decide for themselves when and how
long to work on each assignment.
The best way to succeed in this task
is to work out a weekly schedule
with two hours of study time
earmarked as preparation for each
one-hour class. (In a few cases, the
instructor may suggest some other
division of time.)
Most students are able to maintain
good work in all their courses. A
few fall short of satisfactory
performance. For them, a system of
academic probation is used.
Academic probation is considered a
warning to students that their
scholastic performance is below the
University’s minimum requirements.
During this period, students should
determine for themselves whether to
continue their programs as planned.
No student while on probation shall
carry more than 15 credits per
semester exclusive of band and
The
recreational activities.
Executive Vice-president, in
consultation with the student’s
advisor, may impose restrictions on
the student’s extra-curricular
activities.

relating to probation, and to keep
informed as to their academic

CREDIT/NO
CREDIT COURSES
To encourage intellectual explor

courses on a credit/no credit basis
for which either a grade of CR or
NCR is given. To be eligible for
this option students must be in good
ACADEMIC POLICIES 22
�academic standing, not on academic
probation. Only one such course per
semester is permitted and no more
than twelve semester credits in such
courses may be presented toward a
student’s degree requirements.
Additionally, this credit/no credit
option may not be selected in
courses which satisfy major, minor
or general education requirements.
Students must apply at the
Registrar’s Office during the six-day
add period if they want to enroll in a
graded course under the credit/no
credit policy. This option may not
be changed after the six-day add
period. Academic performance at
the level of 2.00 or higher is
required for the credit, CR, grade.
Instructors are not advised of a
student’s option to be graded
credit/no credit.
Certain courses are always offered
with a credit/no credit grading
format.
Such courses have this
information in their official course
descriptions and course syllabi. The
above policy and limitations do not
apply to these courses.
CREDIT BY
EXAMINATION
There are three examination
processes by which a student may
earn credit for individual courses or
general education requirements;
Advanced Placement, CLEP and
departmental examinations.
Pro
cesses for taking Advanced
Placement and CLEP examinations
are described in the Admissions
section of this Catalog. Students
must be admitted to a degree
program before being eligible to
receive credit by examination. A
maximum of 30 credits may be
CLEP
earned by examination,
examinations, if available, will be
used to determine whether credit
shall be granted. Departments may
provide their own examinations for
certain courses. Students should
inquire at the academic department
offering the course whether a
departmental examination is
available.
If an examination is
available, the department head’s
written approval to take the
examination must be obtained.
An application form for credit by
examination with explanation of the

�THE PRIVACY ACT
Section 438 of the General
Education Provisions Act, as
amended, sets forth the requirements
to be met by an educational
institution to protect the privacy of
students. This Act is called the
Family Educational Rights and
Privacy Act and shall be referred to
hereafter as the Act. The Act
generally governs access to student
educational records and the release
of such records. The Act also
requires that institutions of higher
education must provide students
access to official records directly
related to the student and an
opportunity for a hearing to
challenge such records on the
grounds that they are inaccurate,
misleading or inappropriate.
Educational institutions must also
obtain written consent before
releasing personally identifiable data
about students from records to other
than a specified list of exceptions.
In addition, students must be notified
of these rights.
In accordance with provisions of the
Act and the regulations enacted by
the Department of Health, Education
and Welfare, Lake Superior State
University has adopted the following
policies and procedures:
Section 1. General Policy on

of the Family Educational Rights
and Privacy Act and the policies
and procedures set forth in the
following sections.
Section 2. Notification to Students
Under the provisions of the Act, the
university must annually notify
students of their rights and the
institution policies pertaining to the
Act. In addition, notice must be
given to the location where the
policy can be obtained as well as to
inform the students of the right to
file complaints with the Department
of Health, Education and Welfare
concerning alleged failures by the
University to comply with the Act.
In accordance with these
requirements the annual notice
regarding students rights, the location
of copies of the university’s policies
setting forth these rights, as well as
the right to file complaints with the
Family Educational Rights and
Privacy Act Office, shall be
published in the University Catalog,
the annual letter to students will
notify students of Directory
information.
The Registrar, located in the Fletcher
Center, is designated as the Hearing
Officer for the Act and shall also be
responsible for implementing the
notification requirements and
distribution of copies of the policies
and procedures.

�STUDENT
OF BEHAVIOR
MEMBERSHIP IN THE UNIVERSITY COMMUNITY carries
with it both privileges and responsibilities. The University cannot
accept acts that interfere with the basic process of the academic
enterprise, nor acts which interfere with the rights of other members
of its community. Following are the basic regulations which govern
the behavior and conduct on the Lake Superior State University
campus:
1. ASSEMBLY: No person, or
persons, shall assemble in a manner
which obstructs the free movement
of persons about the campus, or the
free and normal use of University
buildings and facilities, or prevents
or obstructs the normal operation of
the University.
2. ALCOHOL AND DRUGS:
Any student found guilty of being
under the influence of drugs, or
possessing, or selling drugs or
narcotics will be subject to
immediate dismissal from the
University.
Any student who
disregards the laws of the State
regarding drinking as a minor is
subject to disciplinary action
including fines, or dismissal for
repeated offenses. A student of 21
years of age who purchases alcoholic
beverages for minors, or who
participates in any way, faces not
only legal action from the State but
additional penalty from the
University.
The laws of the State of Michigan
prohibit the sale of alcoholic
beverages on any unlicensed
premise. No alcohol may be offered
for sale on any unlicensed portion of
the University campus, and no
hidden fee (such as admissions
charges, charges for food, etc.) may
be used to hide or conceal a charge
Any
for alcoholic beverages,
organization, group, or individual
offering alcohol to others anywhere
on the campus shall be required to
follow provisions of the University’s
alcohol policy, distributed annually
to all campus residents. Violators
may suffer loss of campus privileges,
disciplinary action by the University,
and prosecution by civil authorities.
3. CHEATING AND PLAGIA
RISM: The assumption of the
academic contract is that the student
does his or her own work: any
breach of the contract is considered
cheating. The faculty member who
detects a student cheating may take
appropriate action, such as assigning
a failing grade for the entire course.
A student who cheats is subject to
dismissal from the University. If, in
the opinion of the faculty member
involved, such action is warranted,
he or she will notify the chairman of
the scholastic standards committee
and the student to that effect in
writing. The scholastic standards
STUDENT STANDARDS 34
�STANDARDS
AND CONDUCT
committee will then conduct a
hearing in such a manner that the
student is given due process. If the
committee decides that dismissal is
warranted, the student shall have five
school days to appeal that decision to
the president of the University.
4. COMPLIANCE WITH UNI
VERSITY OFFICIALS: Students
are expected to comply with the
directions of University officials who
are acting in accordance with the
performance of their duties. Failure
to comply with such directions shall
be considered a serious disciplinary
violation.
5. FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS:
A student’s fees, loans, fines, driving
and parking penalties, etc. are his or
her responsibilities and must be paid
when due. Delay in attention to
financial responsibilities may require
some or all of the following actions
by the University: it may withhold
official transcripts, prohibit further
registration, remove registration if
already granted, withhold further
forms of financial aid, and in severe
cases, seek legal action from outside
agencies, including the State of
Michigan itself.
6. FIREARMS AND EXPLO
SIVES: Explosives, firecrackers,
concealed weapons and similar items
are not permitted on campus.
Firearms are permitted, but must be
registered and stored by the office of
campus security. Any student who
keeps firearms anywhere in the
dormitory system will face dismissal
from the University.
7. GUEST SPEAKERS: Only
student organizations formally
recognized by the University may
invite speakers to the campus.
Reservations for rooms or lecture
halls for guest speakers are made
through the director of student
activities.
8. HOUSING: University housing
regulations are published annually in
the Housing Handbook. Students
failing to comply with these
regulations may suffer a variety of
disciplinary penalties, including
separation from the housing system
or separation from the University
itself.
9. I.D. CARDS: All students
enrolled in this institution are issued
an identification card to facilitate
recognition for the library, for
cashing checks, for campus voting,
for admission to campus activities,
etc. Misuse or alteration of the
University identification card, current
or expired, is considered a serious
offense subject to disciplinary action.
10. PARKING: All students who
operate motor vehicles on campus
must register them each year
(normally accomplished during
registration).
Annual registration
decals will be issued upon payment
of fees and evidence of a valid
operator’s license. All vehicles (with
decals attached) must be parked in
STUDENT STANDARDS 35
�areas assigned. Parking and traffic
ordinances will be enforced and
violators will be assessed fines and
may have their campus registration
and campus driving privileges
revoked,
Special parking
arrangements can be made for health
and personal hardship reasons at the
Administration Building Parking
Office. Parking and traffic violations
arc civil infractions and may be
referred to 91st District Court.
11. RECORDS: It is the specific
responsibility of the student to give
honest and complete replies to all
questions included in application
forms, financial aid forms, and in all
other University documents. Failure
to give correct and complete
information can result in cancellation
of the student’s registration. Forgery
or alteration on or of any University
document or record can result in the
separation of the student from the
University.
12. STUDENT NOTICES:
Student notices, posters, etc. must be
cleared for posting by the Center for
Student Services before being placed
on bulletin boards. Maintenance
personnel have been instructed to
remove all unauthorized material
from bulletin boards each day.
Normally posters and notices will not
exceed 17“ by 22“ in size.
13. STUDENT
ORGANIZATIONS: No student
organizations may use campus
facilities to solicit funds, or schedule
activities unless such organizations
have been approved by the
University. Approval of University
clubs and their operations must be in
accordance with University policies.
No organization which practices
either racial or sexual discrimination
will receive support, either directly
or indirectly from the University.
14. THEFT:
Property of the
University, as well as that of
individuals, must be respected.
Theft of any kind, whether of money
or of other property, is prohibited.
The destruction or mutilation of
books, magazines, or other library
material will not be tolerated. Theft
of, damage to, or destruction of the
property of others is considered a
serious offense against the University
community, and will result in the
separation of the student from the
University.
15. TREATMENT OF OTHERS:
Abuse, either physical or verbal, of
any person on University-owned or
controlled property, or at Universitysponsored or supervised functions,
will result in disciplinary action by
the University. No conduct will be
permitted which threatens or
endangers the health or safety of any
person on the University campus or
at University related activities.
Lake Superior State University and
its Board of Regents subscribe to the
principles of equal opportunity and
non-discrimination and complies with
all applicable federal and state laws
and regulations prohibiting
discrimination, including harassment.
The University is committed to the
protection of the rights of all

�ADMISSIONS
FRESHMEN
A prospective freshman still in high
school may make application to Lake
Superior State University any time
during the final year of high school.
Applications for admission are
processed continuously and students
are notified as quickly as possible.
A final transcript of courses
completed during the final year must
be submitted to the Admissions
Office promptly after completion of
the school year. Failure to provide a
final transcript may result in the
withdrawal or an offer of admission.
An official score report from
American College Testing (ACT)
must also be submitted prior to class
registration.
A prospective freshman who has
already graduated from high school
but not attended any college or
university must have an official
transcript sent directly from the high
school to the Admissions Office.
The transcript must include all
courses taken, starting with grade
nine, and graduation certification.
Admitted applicants who graduated
from high school fewer than 26
months prior to the date they wish to
enter the University must submit
their scores from American College
Testing (ACT) prior to registering
for classes.
The' primary factor in evaluating an
application for admission is the
individual’s grade point average in
academic subjects only. The grade
point average for each applicant is
recalculated, starting with grade nine,
and includes only academic courses
such as English, biology, chemistry,
physics, algebra, geometry,
trigonometry, senior math, social
studies, and foreign languages.
Seventy-five percent of the freshmen
entering LSSU have an overall high
school grade point average of 2.47 or
higher. The top 25 percent of the
entering freshmen have an overall
high school grade point averages of
3.18 or higher. The admissions
requirements for students entering
any major offered by the Biology
and Chemistry Department are
slightly higher than the minimum to
gain admission to the University.
Secondary factors which may also
influence the admission decision are
the number of academic courses an
applicant has completed, the trend
from year to year of the applicant’s
grades, class rank, and
recommendations. ACT scores are
rarely a factor in the admissions
decision.
All credentials should be submitted
to the Admissions Office at least
three weeks before the semester of
entry. However, if available spaces
become filled, application processing
will end at an earlier date.
To qualify for admission as
freshmen, applicants are expected to
be graduates of accredited secondary
schools. Any student graduating
from a non-accredited school should
contact the Dean of Admissions for
an explanation of the testing
procedure used to evaluate an
applicant who has attended a nonaccredited school.
Students denied admission may
reapply for admission after attending
another accredited college of their
choice and earning at least 30
semester (45 quarter) hours of
transferable credit. The evaluation
for admission is then based upon the
college record rather than the high
school record.

use their Social Insurance number.
A 9-digit student number will be
assigned to Canadians and other
foreign students.
Along with an application for
admission, students must have sent
to our Admissions Office an official
high school transcript or GED
scores, and an official transcript from
each school where college or
university credit has been earned or
attempted. For students with more
than 30 semester hours (or 45
quarter hours) of college credit, the
high school transcript/GED will be
used only to verify graduation.

have changed since they attended
another institution must indicate this
when requesting transcripts from
high schools or colleges.
Each
transcript should bear the student’s
current name.
The application and all transcripts
should be submitted at least 30 days
prior to the beginning of the
semester of entry.
However, if
available spaces become filled,
processing of applications will end at
an earlier date.
ADMISSIONS 40
�A transfer applicant denied
admission because the college grade
point average is less than 2.0 (on a
scale of 4.0) is encouraged to
reapply if, after taking additional
college course work, the cumulative
grade point average improves to
greater than 2.0.
CREDIT EVALUATIONS:
Because the process is very time
consuming, evaluation of transfer
credit is not made until an applicant
is accepted for admission. However,
every effort is made to provide an
evaluation of transfer credit as
quickly as possible after admission.
Students planning to transfer to Lake
Superior State University can, by
reviewing the course descriptions
included in the Lake Superior State
University catalog, arrive at a
reasonably close approximation of
the amount of transfer credit they
may expect to receive.
While
making this informal evaluation,
students should keep in mind transfer
credit is granted for courses which
are substantially equivalent in
content, length, and prerequisites to
the courses offered at this University.
D grades will be transferred only for
individuals meeting both of the
following conditions:
1. having a 2.00 or greater
cumulative grade point average;

AMERICAN COLLEGE TESTING (ACT)
AH freshmen who enroll within 26 months of high school graduation and have not attended
another college must take the American College Test. The results should be forwarded to Lake
Superior State University (code number 2031) prior to registering for classes.
United States residents applying for academic scholarships at Lake Superior State University
must take the ACT no later than February of their senior year and have results forwarded to
Lake Superior State University prior to the April 1 scholarship application deadline.
Transfer students entering Lake Superior within 26 months of high school graduation and
having less than 15 semester or 23 quarter hours of credit must also take the ACT prior to the
beginning of classes in August. Transfer students required to take the ACT are encouraged to
take it early enough for the results to be available to the University when they schedule their
first semester’s classes.
Canadian students who enter the University within 26 months of high school graduation are
required to take the ACT. Completion of OAC credits does not exempt Ontario students from
this requirement.
ACT scores are used primarily for counseling and placement purposes and are not ordinarily
used as admissions criteria. However, the ACT may be required prior to making an admissions
decision if additional information is deemed necessary.
The ACT is given nationally five times a year at many locations, including our campus.
Information bulletins and registration forms for the ACT are available at high school counseling
offices by writing American College Testing Program, P.O. Box 168, Iowa City, Iowa 52243, or
by contacting the Lake Superior State University Counseling and Testing Center.
Entering students required to submit their ACT results who have not taken the ACT during
one of the five national test dates will take the ACT during orientation in August.

Some academic
departments do not accept transferred
D grades as replacements for courses
required as part of the departmental
major.
In those cases, the
departmental major courses involved
must be repeated. However, courses
not accepted by a department may be
applied as elective credit where
possible.
Initial transfer credit evaluations
indicating which Lake Superior State
University courses and how many
credits will be granted to the student
are completed by either the
Admissions or Registrar’s offices.
These initial evaluations are subject
to review and possible modification
by the head of the academic
department offering the equivalent
course. The academic department
head’s decision on courses and
amounts of transfer credit granted
may be appealed by the student to
the Vice President for Academic
Affairs.
ELECTIVE CREDIT: If a
course taken at another institution is
not offered at the University, elective
credit may be granted for that
course. Elective credits may be
applied toward the number of credits
required to receive a degree but may
not be used to satisfy any specific
course requirement.
PROVISIONAL
CREDIT:
Credit earned at any institution not
listed as accredited in the American
Council of Education’s publication,
Accredited Institutions of Post-
secondary Education, is granted
provisionally. Only after students
demonstrate satisfactory progress in
their chosen academic programs at
Lake Superior State University do
provisional credits become part of
students’ permanent records.
MACRAO AGREEMENT:
Community college graduates
granted admission to the University
who possess baccalaureate-oriented
associate of arts or science degrees,
with the MACRAO stamp on their
transcripts, will be recognized as
having completed the general
education requirements at Lake
Superior State University. Graduates
of Michigan and other community
colleges with other associate degrees,
e.g., applied science, applied
business, applied technology, and
applied health will be required to
complete all remaining Lake
Superior State University general
education requirements.
Students who transfer to Lake
Superior State University will be
required to satisfy all conditions of
their selected majors and minors as
well as degree requirements.

students seeking readmission.
However, applicants who have
attended another college since
leaving Lake Superior State
University must have official
transcripts sent from the college
attended and meet the terms of the
University’s transfer student
admissions policy.
GUEST STUDENTS
A student who is regularly enrolled
at another college or university may
be admitted to Lake Superior State
University as a guest student. A
guest admission is valid for only one
semester. However, under exten-
uating circumstances this may be
extended for one additional semester
by submitting another guest
application. Any student intending
to enroll for more than one semester
must submit an application for
admission as a transfer student.
Guest student applications may be
obtained from the Admissions Office
at Lake Superior State University or
any other college or university in
Michigan. Guest students assume
full responsibility for determining
whether courses taken at Lake
Superior State University will apply
to their programs of study at the
college from which they intend to
graduate.
CANADIAN
STUDENTS
Lake Superior State University
welcomes applications from Canada.
Ontario students applying on the
basis of their high school records are
evaluated on their grade point
average in academic subjects only.
The grade point average for each
applicant is recalculated, starting
with grade nine and including only
academic subjects.
The Admissions Office uses two
grading scales, shown below, when
evaluating an Ontario secondary
school applicant. OAC and A level
courses are considered more
demanding and their content more
appropriate preparation for
university-level courses than are G
level courses. B level courses are
never included in the recalculated
academic grade point average.

A report of ACT scores is required
from all Ontario secondary school
students. ACT scores are used for
counseling and placement purposes,
rather than as a factor in the
admissions decision.
Additional information for Ontario
secondary school students is
available in Informational Handbook

13/OAC COURSES
Students who completed grade 13 or
OAC courses before September,
1990 receive transfer credit at the
University for each course in which
a final mark of at least 60 percent
was earned. Transfer credit will not
be granted for OAC courses
completed after that date. However,
completion of OAC courses prepares
some students to earn credit through
testing. Up to 30 semester hours of
credit may be earned by achieving
satisfactory scores on CLEP tests
and departmental examinations given
on the campus. If information about
CLEP tests and departmental tests
offered by the University is not

A course registration form must be
completed during the registration
period for each semester of
attendance.
These forms are
available through the University’s
Scheduling and Continuing
Education offices.

assigned to faculty advisors.
However, they are encouraged to
seek assistance in selecting courses
from the appropriate academic
departments.
Some who have been denied
admission are permitted by the
Admissions Committee to attend the
University as non-admitted, part-time
students, then later ask to be
reconsidered for admission. The
grades earned as part-time students
become an additional factor when
reconsidering the students’
applications for admission.
It is the responsibility of students
electing to attend the University parttime, seeking reconsideration for
admission, to make certain they are
aware of all the conditions for
reconsideration the Admissions
Committee has established. Upon
request, the Admissions Office will
provide a sheet titled
"Reconsideration for Admission to
Lake Superior State University
(LSSU) on the Basis of Part-Time
Study" which details the
requirements attached to this
opportunity.
The requirements for using part-time
enrollment at the University as a
method for being reconsidered for
admission are:
1. In one semester, the student must
take nine to eleven credits of
academic subjects only. Recre-
ational activities, skill courses such
as keyboarding, and remedial courses
such as intermediate algebra are not
considered academic courses for this
purpose.
2. The student must earn a final
grade of at least "C" in every
course, and may not withdraw
from or drop a course after the
standard drop-add period. A
student receiving an "I" grade
will not be eligible for
reconsideration until the "I" has
been changed to a standard grade
(A, B, or C) by the instructor.
3. If a student has been
academically dismissed from
another college or university, at
least 12 months must have
passed before the start of the
semester for which
reconsideration for admission is
being sought.
As soon as the grades are available
for the semester, the student may
make an appointment to see the
Dean of Admissions to be
reconsidered for admission.

LODGING/FOOD
MODERN HOUSING facilities
are available for both men and
women. All students (enrolled for
12 hours or more) attending Lake
Superior State University must
comply with this housing policy:
All unmarried, non-veteran students
(enrolled for 12 hours or more) who
are within twenty-seven calendar
months of the date of their
graduation from high school (for this
purpose, all high school graduation
dates shall be assumed to be June 1
in any given year) must reside in a
University residence hall, with the
following exceptions:
STUDENTS living with their
parents within reasonable commuting
distance.
STUDENTS exempted by the
housing director when residence hall
space is filled.
STUDENTS with unusual
financial or health problems who are
exempted by the executive vicepresident.
To permit adjustments to local
housing problems, the University
reserves the right to assign all
students within the residence halls.
Room, residence hall, and apartment
preferences are considered according
to the dates of receipt of application,
with freshmen ordinarily given
priority in residence hall assignments
and upperclassmen being given
priority in apartment assignments.
The University recognized that the
need for an exception to the policy
stated above may occasionally arise.
Student requests for permission to
live off campus will be considered
by the executive vice-president.
Should a student request permission
to live off campus for financial
reasons, the executive vice-president
shall apply the following criteria to
his or her request:
STUDENT SERVICES • 52
�" FINANCIAL hardship" shall be
defined for this purpose as a
situation in which the total resources
of the student and family added to
the total financial aid available from
the University do not equal the dollar
amount budgeted by the financial
aids office as the minimum required
for on-campus residency. In such a
situation, the student will be
considered to face two alternatives:
a.) withdrawing from the dormitory
or b.) withdrawing from the
University.
AN EXAMPLE OF a student
who might be released from the
dormitory under the above definition
would be one whose financial
situation changed suddenly during
the year (perhaps due to the death of
a parent) and who applies for
assistance, after the aids program is
depleted.
A complete and modem cafeteria is
located in Canusa Hall. The Cisler
Center has a snack bar, informal
lounges and recreational areas.
A number of modem student
apartments are available on campus.
Married students or groups of single
students desiring living accom
modations should contact the housing
manager.
The Student Village and Townhouse
units were constructed with a loan
from the Federal Government which
is to be repaid from the room rentals.
The University Board of Regents, in
obtaining this loan agreed to provide
for maximum occupancy and use of
the buildings.
As a result, the
University reserves the right to
transfer students to the Townhouses
or the Student Village during the
year.
To avoid unnecessary
inconvenience, such transfers are
normally made between semesters.
COUNSELING/
TESTING
ALL STUDENTS are encour
aged to avail themselves of the
counseling and testing services.
Several professional counselors are
available at the student counseling
center to assist students with their
academic, personal, or vocational
problems.
A complete vocational testing and
counseling program, which has
proven throughout the years to be
invaluable in helping students assess
their interests and potentials, is
available to all students to help them
decide upon their educational and
career goals.
The center maintains a complete file
of individual test folders, which
includes all orientation test results
for our students. Those who wish to
have their scores interpreted may
make an appointment with a
counselor at the counseling center.
If the results are inconclusive you
may wish to submit application for
the complete vocational testing
battery.
Tutoring services are also offered
through the counseling center.
Student tutors are available to help
individually those students who
request special help in their courses.
No fee is charged for this service.
Growth group sessions are scheduled
periodically for students who are
interested in personal and social
growth through the group dynamics
of interpersonal relationships.
Anyone interested in participating
should stop by the counseling center.

�FINANCIAL AID
THE UNIVERSITY STRIVES to reward the scholar and to
meet the needs of the many students who apply for financial
assistance. A combination of University, state and federal programs
enable many students to receive a "financial aid package" which may
include a combination of scholarship, loan, grant, and/or work
assistance. Priority in aid awards will be to full-time undergraduate
students.
All students should carefully consider the full cost of their education,
parental support, and savings, including savings from summer
employment, in determining their need for financial aid. Students
with excellent high school or community college grades are
encouraged to apply for scholarships regardless of need. Students
with need will be considered for loans, grants, and/or employment on
the basis of need established from the Financial Aid Form (FAF) or
Family Financial Statement (FFS).
Applications for all financial aid programs are available from the
office of student financial aid. The staff of this office will be happy
to counsel with applicants and their parents concerning the costs of
attending the University, availability of financial aid, and application
procedures.
All applications for financial aid must be received by April 1. Financial
Statements (FAF or FFS) must be postmarked on or before March 1.

Students enrolled for less than 6
credits do not have a term/semester

credits count as one-half semester.
Students are reviewed annually (at
the completion of Spring Semester)
in regards to credits completed.
Students who do not meet the
completion schedule are considered
as not making satisfactory progress
and their financial aid is suspended
for subsequent semesters.
Once financial aid is suspended, both
the GPA and credit completion
criteria must be met in subsequent
semesters before reinstatement of aid
is possible.
If completion of "1" grades or other
record changes warrant a
reinstatement, a written notice from
the Registrar’s Office must be
presented to the Financial Aid Office
by the end of the semester following
suspension of aid.
Summer school attendance may be
used by the student to remove grade
point or credit earned deficiencies.
Students must file a request for
reinstatement with the Financial Aid
Office following the successful
completion of a summer term.
FINANCIAL AID
SUSPENSION
No aid, including but not limited to
the Stafford Student Loan, Perkins
Student Loan, College Work-Study,
Supplemental Educational
Opportunity Grant, Pell Grant,
Michigan Competitive Scholarship,
and Institutional Scholarships and
Grants, will be granted once a
student’s eligibility is suspended. To
remove financial aid suspension
status, a student must have attained
the minimum cumulative grade point
average and credit earned
requirements while not receiving
financial aid processed through the
University. Successful students then
must advise the Financial Aid Office
in writing that they meet the
requirements for reinstatement.
TRANSFER STUDENTS
The requirements for transfer
students are based on the number of
full-time equivalent credits
transferred to LSSU. For example,
a student with 68 transfer credits
must earn a G.P.A. of 1.93 or higher
and must earn at least 16 credits
after two semesters of study.

MICHIGAN
COMPETITIVE
SCHOLARSHIPS
THESE STATE scholarships
range from $100 to $1,200 at Lake
Superior State University.
Applicants must:
1. have been continuous residents of
Michigan for a 12-month period
prior to July 1, 1992;
PELL Grants
For most students, Federal student
aid begins with PELL Grants, which
provide a foundation of financial
assistance to which other forms of
aid may be added. A distinguishing
feature of this program is its central
concept of "entitlement," which
guarantees that students who
demonstrate need will receive a grant
based on that need and on the cost
of education at the post-secondary
school they choose to attend.
PELL Grants for the award
period (July 1, 1992 to June 30,
1993) will range up to $2,400 as
determined by a standard formula.
2. be a high school graduate;
3. participate in the National
American College Test (ACT)
and attain a qualifying score;
not have engaged in any
university, normal school, junior
college, or other advanced
training following graduation
from high school and prior to the
qualifying examination;
5. have complied with all other
provisions of the law and rules
and regulations adopted by the
authority; and
6. demonstrate financial need.
Student must be in good
standing, have at least a 2.00
grade point average and meet
satisfactory progress requirements
to renew a scholarship. High
school seniors must obtain ACT
test registration materials from
their high school counselor and
mail them prior to the deadline
for the October ACT exami
nation.
TO BE ELIGIBLE for a PELL
Grant, students must:
1. be determined to have financial
need based on the PELL Grant
eligibility formula and the cost of
their education;
2. be undergraduates accepted for
admission and enrolled at least
half-time in eligible programs at
eligible institutions;
3. be U.S. citizens or permanent
residents;
4. not have used their full eligibility
for PELL Grants;
5. not in default on a Stafford or
Perkins Student Loan, and not
owe a refund for a PELL or
S.E.O.G.;
6. maximum eligibility is limited to
five academic years for first-time
recipients in 1987-88 and after.
Although most students are paid
their awards through the school,
FINANCIAL AID • 76
�the U.S. Dept, of Education
determines their eligibility. The
University financial aid office
uses a standard procedure
established by the Dept, of
Education to calculate the amount
of the award.
STUDENT eligibility is
determined on the basis of a formula
developed annually by the Dept, of
Education and reviewed by
Congress. This formula is applied
consistently to all applicants and
takes into account indicators of
financial strength such as income,
assets, family size.
The formula uses the information
provided on the application to
produce eligibility index numbers.
These numbers are not dollar figures,
but are used, along with the cost of
student education, to determine the
actual amount of grants.
SUPPLEMENTAL
EDUCATIONAL
OPPORTUNITY
GRANTS
THE HIGHER Education Act of
1965 created this program of
financial assistance to college
students from exceptionally needy
The Supplemental
families.
Educational Opportunity Grants may
be used to meet all or part of student
financial need (up to $4000 in any
one year), with the exact amount
being proportional to the support that
can reasonably be expected from
their families.
Financial need is the primary
consideration in the selection of
grant recipients. Priority is given to
Pell Grant recipients. Academically,
it is only necessary to gain
admission to the University in order
to be eligible for the grant.
Recipients are selected from among
those applying for all forms of
financial aid.
TO APPLY, applicants must
complete Financial Aid Forms (FAF)
or Family Financial Statements
(FFS) or Application for Federal
Student Aid (AFSA) and forward
them to the processor listed on the

regular satisfactory progress
standards in order to be considered
for a renewal award.

LOANS
Perkins Loans
(National Direct
Student Loans)
THE PERKINS Student Loan
program is for vocational,
undergraduate, and graduate students
who are enrolled at least half-time in
a participating postsecondary
institution and who need a loan to
meet their educational expenses.
STUDENTS
MAY
BORROW up to $4,500 if they
are enrolled in vocational programs
or have completed less than two
years of a program leading to a
bachelor’s degree; $9,000 if they are
undergraduates who have already
completed two years of study toward
a bachelor’s degree (this total
includes any amount borrowed under
NDSL for the first two years of
study); and $18,000 for graduate or
professional study (this total includes
any Supplemental Educational
Opportunity Grants they borrowed
under NDSL for undergraduate
study).
REPAYMENT begins six
months (nine months for new
borrowers after July 1, 1987) after
students graduate or leave school for
other reasons. Students may be
allowed up to ten years to pay back
the loan, and during the repayment
period they will be charged five
percent interest on the unpaid
balance of the loan principal.
The amount of the repayment
depends upon the size of the debt
and ability to pay; but in most cases,
students must pay at least $30 a
month unless the school agrees to a
lesser amount. This agreement for a
lesser amount may be due to
extraordinary circumstances such as
prolonged unemployment.
DEFAULT: If students default
on a Perkins Loan and the school is
unable to collect, the Federal
Government will take action to
recover the loan. If such students
are discharged in bankruptcy,
become totally or permanently
disabled or die, loan obligations will
be canceled.

GRADUATION PROCEDURES • 87
�GRADUATION
PROCEDURES
DEGREE CANDIDACY PROCEDURE. Two semesters before students
plan to complete degree requirements and graduate, they must submit to the
Registrar’s Office an appropriate departmental degree audit for each major and
minor, and, a declaration of candidacy for degree. The necessary forms are
available at students’ major departmental office.
The departmental degree audit for a
student’s major or minor specifies all
required courses which have been or
must be completed. The audit must
be signed by the department head of
the department offering the major or
minor program. Course substitutions
and waivers of departmental degree
program requirements may be
granted only by the head of the
department offering the major or
minor program.
Exceptions to
specific General Education
requirements may be granted only by
the Scholastic Standards Committee.
Such exceptions are infrequently
made. A petition for exceptions to
General Education requirements is
initiated with the Registrar.
The names of
each semester,
students who are listed in the annual
commencement program are also
compiled from declaration of
candidacy forms. Students will not
be listed in the commencement
program unless their degree
candidacy form is filed with the
Registrar’s Office six weeks prior to
Students are
commencement,
expected to attend commencement
exercises unless excused by the
Students
Registrar’s Office,
completing degree requirements
during the summer may participate
in commencement the previous
semester if their degree candidacy
form is received six weeks prior to
commencement.
The Registrar’s Office checks
students’ degree audits, after which
a preliminary verification of the
degree audit is sent to each student
and respective department head.
Students are responsible for
examining this verification and
requesting clarification of anything
which is not consistent with their
records or understanding.
After grades are received in the
Registrar’s Office at the end of each
semester, degree audits will be
updated for all students completing
credit and who have a degree
candidacy form on file. When all
requirements specified on the degree
audit are fulfilled the department
head and Registrar give a final
approval. Names of these graduates
are then sent by the Registrar to the
President for Board of Regents
approval. Subsequently, a diploma
is provided to each student.
From the declaration of candidacy
for degree forms submitted by
students, the Registrar’s Office
creates a potential graduate list for

�DEGREE REQ
LAKE SUPERIOR STATE UNIVERSITY offers bachelor’s (also called
baccalaureate) degrees, associate degrees, and certificates. These degrees are
offered in a wide variety of academic programs. Each academic department has
a set of specific courses and other requirements for each of its degree programs.
These are stated later in this Catalog in the various departmental sections.
However, some requirements for bachelor’s degrees are of a general nature,
applying to all such degrees. These are discussed below.
BACHELOR’S DEGREES. A minimum of 124 credits is required for a
bachelor’s degree. Some programs require more than this number of credits.
Requirements are of five categories: general education, bachelor of arts or bachelor
of science requirements, departmental requirements, competency requirements in
mathematics and writing, and residency.
ASSOCIATE
DEGREES
AND CERTIFICATES. See
the appropriate departmental section
of this Catalog for the specific re
quirements. A minimum of 62 cred

The load of Liberal Arts
In an age and an economy devoted to mass activity and group conformity, the
unique discipline of humane enlightenment traditionally associated with a study of
the Liberal Arts bears an increasingly heavy load. Two related arts are our special
concern: one is that of teaching, the other that of communicating with the larger
public beyond these walls. Both require a concern for the truthful and accurate use
of language - for truth, indeed, rather than indifferent "information.” Both require
an exercise of feeling and imagination as much as of thought. Both are concerned
to discover and encourage whatever creative aptitudes may be latent in each
student.
Our aim is knowledge, not pedantry;
our prime responsibility is to foster
the free mind, the exploring spirit -and to insure them every reasonable
liberty of expression. Since it is the
purpose of many studies to remind
us that we are neither apes, nor ants,
such a purpose may be better served
in a small community, such as ours,
avowedly dedicated to the pursuit of
a liberal education, than in some
large institutions whose very size
prohibits individual attention or
concern. A four-year curriculum
leads to the bachelor of arts degree
in English Language and Literature
or to the bachelor of arts or bachelor
of science degree in history. A
suggested curriculum is outlined;
however, students should plan indi-
vidual programs of study in
consultation either with assigned
advisers, or with department head.
Electives are available throughout the
University; in liberal arts these
include not only additional courses in
English and history or sequences in
the modem foreign languages, but
also in speech, journalism, drama,
music, art, and philosophy. Leading
authorities recognize that a sound
liberal arts education is often the
most satisfactory preparation for
successful training and
accomplishment in many vocational
and professional areas,
Upon
completion of their degree program,
students will be prepared either to
pursue career in fields such as
communications, government, and
ARTS & LETTERS•95
�industry, or to embark upon graduate
studies which will qualify them for
professions in fields such as
teaching.
ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS:
To qualify for admission as
freshmen, applicants must be
graduates of accredited secondary
schools with above average standing
in their classes. Secondary school
preparation should include a fouryear curriculum of at least 15 units
of acceptable entrance credits. Three
units of English are required.
BACHELOR OF ARTS
ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND
LITERATURE
REQUIREMENTS: Students must complete, in addition to general education
requirements, 70 semester hours of credit in the courses specified below, or tneir
equivalents, plus sufficient additional hours of free electives to make up a require
total of 124 hours. Candidates in English must complete one minor in an area to
be approved by the head of the department.

BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES
BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES prepare students for careers in research and in
applied aspects of life sciences as well as providing a background in biology for
a career or further studies in allied sciences. Four-year programs lead to bachelor
of science degrees in biological sciences, fisheries and wildlife management,
environmental science and medical technology; bachelor of arts degree in biology;
and two associate degrees: natural resources technology and water quality
technology. Students electing to pursue four-year degree programs generally have
the opportunity of changing their majors to one of the other biology degree
programs without losing credits or having to make up deficiencies during the first
two years of study. Students working toward these four-year degree programs have
the same basic first year of courses.
BACHELOR OF ARTS/SCIENCE
Biology
Lake Superior State University is
ideally located for field studies of
terrestrial and aquatic resources.
Students electing a variety of courses
in ecology and applied ecology can
qualify for state and federal positions
in fisheries biology, wildlife biology,
and other related fields. Laboratory
courses give students knowledge and
techniques necessary for many
technical positions with industry and
governmental agencies.
Students interested in research
positions in environmental science,
marine biology, microbiology,
physiology, fish and wildlife biology
and numerous other life sciences can
receive a strong undergraduate
background at Lake Superior State
University that will enable them to
pursue a career or graduate education
elsewhere. Admission requirements
for professional and graduate
universities vary throughout the
United States and Canada. Students
planning post-baccalaureate
education should plan with their
advisor to insure that these
requirements are met.
ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS:
To qualify for admission as fresh
men, applicants must be graduates of
BIOLOGY & CHEMISTRY 102
�accepted secondary schools with
above average standing in their class.

curriculum of at least 15 units of
acceptable entrance credits. The
following subjects must be included
in these
credits: one unit of
beginning algebra, one unit of
advanced
algebra, one unit of
chemistry and three units of English.
In addition, one biology unit and one
unit of geometry or trigonometry are
highly recommended. Students not
meeting these requirements may
enter on a provisional basis. OAC
students are required to take
departmental competency
examinations before credit will be
granted in biology and chemistry.
Substitution for courses required as
part of biology degree requirements
must be approved by the department
head.
Honors Program
This program is a research sequence
open to biology, and environmental
science majors with a minimum
overall GPA of 3.5 through the first
semester of the junior year. Majors
electing this sequence will select an
instructor as their supervisor. An
undergraduate research project will
be outlined in consultation with the
supervising instructor and submitted
to the department for approval. The
outline must be approved before the
first semester of the senior year. At
the end of the seventh week of the
spring semester during the senior
year, the students will forward an
abstract of their work to the
department head and during the tenth
week of the same semester will
submit the final copy of their
research papers in publishable form,
for departmental approval,
All
grades for this sequence will be
deferred until the final semester.
Eight credit hours of honors credit
will be substituted for 8 hours of
electives upon successful completion
of the research sequence.
The
special problem sequence will not be
open to students electing the honors
program research sequence. The
completed research may be used for
Senior Thesis.

�FISHERIES &
WILDLIFE
Fisheries and wildlife courses place
strong emphasis on understanding
organisms in their habitats and blend
a conceptual understanding of fish
and wildlife populations with
practical knowledge of relevant lab
and field techniques. Students work
with, and must learn to identify, a
wide variety of plants, fish, birds,
and mammals.
Students graduating from this
rigorous curriculum can meet the
qualifications of state and federal
government agencies as technicians
and biologists. Students desiring
certification by the Wildlife Society
should consult with an advisor for
details. To qualify for any type of
position as a wildlife biologist with
a federal agency, a minimum of 9
credits is needed in botany. Other
career opportunities include positions
as naturalists, conservation officers,

Pre-professional: Medicine, Optometry,
Dentistry, Veterinary Medicine
Professional schools, including
medical, dental, optrometry, and
veterinary schools, typically do not
yecifically rquire any college
degree, let alone a specific degree in
biology. However, applicants to
professional schools are seldom
accepted with ony three years of
undergraduate credt. Further, since
career goals often change, pre
professional students at LSSU are
encouraged to remain four years and
complete the requirements for a
baccalaureate degree. A survey of

and Canada as published by the

virtue of our small size and student

knowledge of each student’s abilities
and performance rather than merely
using grade point average and MAT,
VAT, DAT or OCAT scores. These

Therefore, although other curricula
may be pursued as pre-professional
degrees, most students elect to strive
toward a degree in biology.
BOARD: The pre-professional
advisory board consists of
representatives from the disciplines
of biology and chemistry including
two pre-professional advisors. This

�□ Computer Information Systems
Management concentration
The CISM area of concentration is an integrated program of
management and computer information systems. It provides a broad
study of business management with the opportunity to extend this
study by elective courses. The curriculum includes a strong
emphasis on computer-based information systems including systems
analysis, systems design, database systems, systems management and
computer programming. The COBOL (Common Business Oriented
Language) is studied in depth, with an emphasis on program design.
COBOL is also used as the host language in the study of database
program development. Students have an introduction to RPG
(Report Program Generator), and they may elect to study other
programming languages.
Career oriented: Although graduates should expect to begin their careers as
programmer/analysts, their background prepares them to develop professionally
along alternative career paths including systems analysis, systems design,
programming project management, systems development management, and
information systems department management.

those who desire a general business background at the
undergraduate level prior to taking more specialized graduate
work. This program provides breadth of preparation rather than
specialization but with sufficient flexibility to permit students to
emphasize such professional fields as personnel management,
production management, or the broad aspects of management
philosophy and practice.

COMPUTER SCIENCE
In recent years, a quiet revolution has taken place. The computer has moved
out of the back room of large corporations and research institutions into the front
offices and living rooms of modem society. Computer scientists work at the
leading edge of this revolution, developing software systems that allow us to utilize
the electronic hardware the engineers have built. The work is challenging, and
often frustrating, but is ultimately very rewarding.
THE DEPARTMENT offers a
Bachelor of Science In Computer
and
Mathematical Sciences that
combines a study of digital
computing with the study of
mathematical concepts.
The
resulting program provides students
with considerable versatility and
potential for future endeavors in
which practical quantitative skills are
important. A MINOR in computer
science is also available to provide
excellent support and value to most
majors offered at the University.
ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS:
To qualify for admission to the

GEOLOGY
SINCE THE BEGINNING of the solar system our earth has
been developing. Our present environment is the result of the
cumulative interaction of many dynamic physical, chemical and
biological processes.
GEOLOGY deals with the
dynamic earth, its physical makeup,
and its physical and organic history.
It involves the study of changes
which have taken place and the
forces which cause, and are now
causing, these changes. By drawing
on concepts of biology, chemistry,
mathematics and physics geologists
attempt to understand the physical
environment in which we live and
from which we derive most of the
natural resources essential to our
civilization. Our civilization requires
many
non-renewable natural resources in
order to survive. Since the turn of
the century, we have used more and
more of these resources at an everincreasing rate and now have critical
supply problems. Our demands upon
the environment have significantly
changed the earth around us, and, if
we are to survive, we must live
within the constraints imposed by
Geologists study and
nature.
understand these constraints. They
must apply their knowledge to
achieve harmony between the human
race and its environment.

GEOLOGY
GEOLOGY HAS A BROAD scientific base in mathematics,
physics, biology and chemistry as well as emphasizing fundamentals

�of geologic science and geophysics. Increases in the demand for
energy fuels and mineral products result in an expansion of
opportunities for graduates in geology. Students contemplating
careers in geology should, upon graduating, expect to travel, often to
remote and uninhabited areas. Most of the jobs entail outdoor field
work, often under difficult conditions.
Other new fields are now
requiring geologists, such as NASA,
EPA, and companies and agencies
involved with environmental
concerns.
The geological
environment of Lake Superior State
University provides unexcelled
opportunities for field study of
classic sections illustrating
Precambrian stratigraphy, structure,
intrusions, and metamorphism and
undisturbed Paleozoic sedimentary
formations. Proximity to deposits of
iron, copper, uranium, dolomite and
the Michigan oil and gas fields as
well as other minerals is an
additional advantage. Students are
eligible to participate in the
department’s active research in
micropaleontology (conodonts).

�universe. In some instances, it is the only language in which some
ideas can be expressed. Courses offered in this discipline provide the
foundation for future work in mathematics. Our teaching objectives
are twofold: to give students an understanding of mathematics, and
to impart an understanding of the many ways in which this tool may
be used.
ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS:
To qualify for admission to the
program in mathematics, applicants
must satisfy University admission
requirements as described in the
Admissions section of the Catalog.
(This information is also included in
the Viewbook.)
Secondary school academic subjects
should include:
Three units of

ENGINEERING TRANSFER:
The first two years of a professional
engineering degree may be taken at
LSSU if you are well prepared in
mathematics. It is recommended that
you contact the engineering school
that you would like to transfer to
early in your freshman year at
LSSU. Each school of engineering
has somewhat different requirements
which will affect the exact program
you take at LSSU.
Transfer Students: An evaluation
of all previous course work will be
made upon receipt of application.
Transfer of LSSU credits to
Most
engineering schools,
engineering technology credits
earned at LSSU will not transfer to

sociology. These are quite diverse in their perspectives and methods,
but all are concerned with either the scientific study of human
behavior or the development of human potential, or both.
OFFERINGS: There are a
variety of majors, minors, and
issociate degrees. Some programs
give students specific employable
skills upon graduation. Others are
broader, so that upon graduation
students may have the option of
further education in graduate school
or law school, or of entering careers
in fields such as politics, teaching,
social services, administration, and
business. Each area of study is
described in greater detail below,
including requirements for majors,
minors and associate degrees.

may have additional entrance
requirements.
EDUCATION
Lake Superior State University is
currently working in cooperation
with Michigan State University to
develop an integrated BA/MA
program in education. The program
emphasizes a combination of
preparation in the student’s discipline
and education course work that is
SOCIAL SCIENCES 180
�coordinated with extensive work in
schools. The program as it is being
developed will include a BA or BS
from LSSU and graduate course
work from MSU, all of which will
be completed in the Sault Ste. Marie
area.
Disciplinary majors and minors that
will lead to teaching certification are
being developed by a number of
academic departments.
CHILD CARE
CENTER
A campus Child Care Center
provides full or part-time care for
children, aged two and one-half to
five years, of students and staff and
the Sault Community. Children must
be toilet trained.
The Center,
licensed by the State of Michigan
Department of Social Services,
provides developmentally sound
experiences for the whole child
across a range of social, emotional,
physical and cognitive dimensions.
It is a place where young children
can develop a strong relationship
with both adults and children. Each
morning and afternoon under the
supervision of an experienced staff,
child development students plan and
supervise large group, art, snack and
small group experiences for the
children. A significant portion of
each day is devoted to exploratory
play.
During exploratory play
children may move throughout the
various learning areas of the Center,
electing to participate in any one of
the wide variety of activities and
interact with learning materials. The
Child Care Center is located on the
south edge of the Library parking
lot.

�□ Athletic Training Concentration
A person who receives a degree concentration in Athletic Training,
which is also referred to as Sports Medicine, will become a highly
skilled professional who deals directly with injuries which occur to
athletes. The athletic trainer works closely with physicians and other
health care professionals in order to provide today’s athletes with the
best medical care possible. Those who pursue a career in athletic
training may seek employment on the high school, college, or
professional sport level. In addition, the athletic trainer may be
employed in sports medicine and health fitness clinics, which have
increased in numbers during the past decade. All the above
mentioned positions usually require certification by the National
Athletic Trainers’ Association.
Students completing the
concentration at Lake Superior State University will be more
marketable in the field of exercise science and eligible for a variety
of graduate programs in athletic training and sports medicine
throughout the country. Any student wishing to achieve eligibility
to sit for the National Athletic Trainers’ Association certification
examination will receive individual guidance in that direction.

�PHYSICAL EDUCATION
Lake Superior State University does not offer majors or
minors in physical education. However, all students enrolled in a
four-year degree granting program are required to take two different
credit hours of recreation activity. Those enrolled in a one, two, or
three-year terminal curriculum are required to take variable credits of
recreational activity. Students fulfill the two-credit hour requirement
by earning two different recreational activity credits.
The faculty offer a varied program
of activities.
Courses include
badminton, bowling, volleyball,
swimming, weight training, dance,
backpacking, outdoor survival, rock
climbing and rappelling, racquetball,
jogging, orienteering, canoeing,
soccer, self defense, and
individualized physical fitness.
Physical education, intramurals, and
athletics play an important part in the
lives of the students. Students are
encouraged to participate in activities
that will provide a carry-over into
later life. Preparation for a lifetime
of recreational activity is a major
goal of the university.

�POLITICAL SCIENCE
Political Science is the systematic study of government and
politics. Since government and politics are round at many levels—
international, national, state, and local—and all over the world,
political science has many facets. All of these facets receive
attention in the political science program at Lake Superior State
University.
The goal of the curriculum is to
prepare students interested in
government and politics for
rewarding careers and lifetimes of
learning and involvement. To best
achieve this goal, three distinct
concentrations or tracks are available
for students of political science:
1. general political science
2 pre-law,
3. public administration.
Each concentration has been
designed to provide a combination of
knowledge and skills that is uniquely
appropriate for those with particular
career goals. However, choosing
one concentration over the others
does not limit a student to one
particular career path—each of the
concentrations provides a solid
grounding in political science.
BACHELOR OF ARTS/SCIENCE
POLITICAL SCIENCE - GENERAL
The general political science concentration is designed to
provide a broad education in political science. It is most appropriate
for students who plan to attend graduate school in political science
and for those with an interest in government and politics who wish
to get a broad, liberal education as preparation for a career in
business, government, or journalism. Students who continue their
education in graduate school most often pursue careers as professors,
researchers, consultants, or government officials. Students who do
not pursue graduate study choose from a wide variety of career
options in business, government, and journalism.

POLITICAL SCIENCE - PRE-LAW
The pre-law concentration provides students of political
science interested in legal careers with a planned curriculum that
prepares them especially well for law school and for careers in law.
Students who choose this option are often interested in careers as
attorneys, prosecutors, or judges. It should be noted that this is not
a mandatory pre-law curriculum; it is a curriculum for pre-law
students who have a special interest in government and politics.
Noteworthy features of this
concentration are a special course on
the nature of legal careers and how
to prepare for them; two courses in
legal research and writing that
provide students with a head start in
using a law library and in conducting
legal research; and a well-designed
combination of support courses in
logic, debate, writing, accounting,
and research.

POLITICAL SCIENCE - PUBLIC
ADMINISTRATION
The public administration concentration is
most
appropriate for students who plan to work in
biic

careers
missions. Students who choose this option Me pr P,8-■
of public service. Such careers may be pursued through positions in
SOCIAL SCIENCES 217
:
�government agencies at the local, state or provincial, and national
levels. Other positions may be found in nonprofit organizations
involved in public concerns, such as Common Cause, the
Environmental Defense Fund, and the Michigan Health Council.
Some of these careers of public service may be pursued with only a
bachelor’s degree. Others may require completion of a master’s
degree in public administration or a related field.
Senior public administration students
will complete an internship as part of
their education. Internships allow
students to apply the knowledge they
have gained in the classroom in an
on-the-job setting. They are also
valuable for creating a record of
experience that will impress prospec
tive employers and help the student

PRE-LAW
No prescribed course of study can be recommended to all
students who plan to attend law school. Students entering law school
choose undergraduate majors from a wide variety of fields.
However, a pre-law concentration is offered in the political science
curriculum, and various law courses are offered as a part of the legal
assistant studies program at Lake Superior State University. See
appropriate political science and legal assistant studies program
listings, which are part of the Social Sciences Department.
Students interested in a legal career
should consult with the pre-law
advisor, Professor Carol Andary,
early and often during their
undergraduate studies. The pre-law
advisor is located in the Social
Sciences Department,
Pre-law
planning based on consultation with
the advisor will allow the student to
make an informed choice of
curriculum and of elective courses
that will help with the development
of the skills mentioned below. The
pre-law advisor will also provide
pre-law students with a variety of
materials about admission to law
school, the law school admission
test, and careers in law.
A student’s undergraduate grade
point average and his or her score on
the Law School Admission Test
(LSAT) are the two most important
criteria for admission to law school.
Details on admission policies of law
schools throughout the country, and
the degree to which these schools
may use other criteria in addition to
grade point average and LSAT score,
may be found in the Pre-Law
Handbook. The Pre-Law Handbook
is published by the Law School
SOCIAL SCIENCES • 219
�Admission Council/Law School
Admission Services and is the
official law school guide, This
handbook may be examined by
contacting the pre-law advisor, or
may be purchased in many book
stores.
Although there is no prescribed
major which must be taken for
admission to law school, some
curricula may be better than others
in helping students develop skills
necessary for admission to law
school and for a successful legal
career. A broad and challenging
undergraduate curriculum is the best
preparation for law school. The Pre-
Law Handbook stresses that a
student’s undergraduate education
should lead to the development of
skills in three areas: (1) the ability to
understand and express oneself well
in words, (2) the development of a
critical understanding of the human
institutions and values with which
the law deals, and (3) the
development of creative power in
thinking. A pre-law student should
consider the need to develop these
skills in selecting his or her
curriculum. In addition, students
should think about whether the
curriculum they choose can provide
an alternative to a career in law
should they eventually choose not to
pursue a legal career.

�PSYCHOLOGY
BACHELOR OF ARTS/BACHELOR OF SCIENCES
PSYCHOLOGY
Psychology is the systematic study of behavior and mental
processes in humans and animals. The major provides students with
exposure to the areas that define contemporary scientific psychology.
The psychology major helps a student develop analytical thinking
and communication skills which are applicable to a variety of
careers. Many psychology majors pursue post baccalaureate degrees.
Psychology electives enable students to construct a program of study
consistent with their professional goals. The Bachelor of Science and
Bachelor of Arts degrees differ only in the nature of the cognate;
science classes or foreign language classes, respectively.

SOCIOLOGY
Sociology is the scientific study of human social groups, from
families to societies. In sociology we examine how variables such
as the culture, laws, and customs of a society influence individuals
SOCIAL SCIENCES • 225
�within the society. Sociologists also investigate how individuals
influence and change society.
The knowledge acquired through
the study of sociology is useful in a
number of careers, including human
services, law enforcement,
corrections, business administration,
and public administration, among
others. For those students who plan
a career in sociology, teaching or
doing research, an undergraduate
major in sociology provides a good
background for graduate work in
sociology. All social science minors,
including the two sociology minors,
are listed at the end of the social
science section.
For the bachelor degree in Sociology, the student must complete the following
requirements:

degree requirements may be
completed off campus. The length
of time required to complete the
degree varies, according to each
student’s individual schedule and the
number of college credits already
completed.
CONTINUING EDUCATION is

as computers, exercise, crafts, art
and languages, to name just a few,

college, is also run under the
Continuing Education Office.

�LAKE SUPERIOR STATE UNIVERSITY
MISSION STATEMENT
Lake Superior State University is a co-educational, public, compre
hensive institution that recognizes as its primary mfssion the offermg °f challenging undergraduate programs to students from
ichigan, Northern Ontario, and the near Midwest in anticipation
of preparing them for stimulating lives and satisfying careers in the
twenty-first century.
By design a relatively small institution, Lake Superior State
University strives to carry out its primary mission by realizing a
collegial community in which all its constituencies share in the
teaching, research, and regional service activities of the Institution.
In this supportive environment students, staff, faculty, and administrators demonstrate high regard for one another as valued mem
bers of the community, thus providing opportunities for emotional
and social maturation as well as intellectual growth.
All educational programming at Lake Superior State University
rests on an acknowledged commitment to an integrated relation
ship between the liberal arts and professional/technical fields.
That relationship fosters the development of students as contribut
ing citizens, viable professionals, and fulfilled individuals, who
think critically, appreciate creativity, have problem-solving skills,
and express continuing intellectual curiosity about themselves,
others, and the world around them. The University's international
setting complements its efforts to assist students in the expansion
of their perspectives.
Lake Superior State University's primary mission, thus, draws its
validity from the knowledge that today's students — tomorrow s
leaders - will best serve humanity by having: the necessary infor
mation to understand the past; the critical thinking skills to assess
contemporary problems; and the enlightened courage o ace w
enthusiasm the uncertainty of the future.

�WHAT
Lake Superior State University encourages in its students a desire to learn and a
willingness to serve. The primary purpose of the University is to educate and
train young people for rewarding careers and lives of meaning. We:
Regard students as mature,
responsible individuals engaged in
the processes of self government
which are essential in a democratic
society.
Teach individuals, not groups; with
a close-working relationship between
Each
instructors and students,
student has a faculty advisor and
may also consult the counseling
service.
Educate students for well-rounded
lives; not only intellectual
competence, but physical, social,
and cultural development.
The
program of general education
includes courses such as recreational
activities, natural sciences, social
sciences, English language and
literature, and the humanities.
Athletic events, clubs, dramatic and
cultural presentations, and student
self-government organizations offer
a wide variety of co-curricular
activities.
Teach fundamentals and their
application.
In modem society
knowledge increases so rapidly that
specific facts may become obsolete
even before they are widely learned.
Close attention to fundamentals is
necessary. The University attempts
to inculcate habits of learning,
thinking and doing which,
thoughtfully modified, will endure
for a lifetime.
Encourage initiative, self criticism,
and intellectual curiosity; learn by
doing. Education in fundamental
knowledge should be supplemented
by laboratory and field work in
order that university preparation
closely resembles conditions in
Students
professional careers,
should develop lifelong intellectual
curiosity and discovery, become
constructive critics of themselves
and of society, and learn to prize
creative, original thinking.
IN RETROSPECT
HISTORIC: Lake Superior State
University is a hilltop campus,
situated on the historic site of Fort
Brady, a U.S. Army post dating
The campus
back to 1822.
overlooks the St. Mary’s River and
the famous Soo Locks. After the
fort was deactivated in 1944, the
property was acquired by Michigan
Technological University to establish
a branch. Thus, the campus is a
blend of historic and modem
architecture. The University was
accorded four-year status by the
State Board of Education in 1966,
and authorized to grant baccalaureate
degrees.
The first baccalaureate class graduat
ed in 1967. Autonomy, separating
the University from Michigan Tech
nological University, was granted
January 1, 1970. On November 4,
1987, Governor James Blanchard
signed legislation changing Lake
Superior State from College to Uni
versity.

The Quaraterdeck provides food
service facilities. The Walker Cisler
Center offers recreational facilities
as well as a snack bar, student
offices, and meeting rooms. The
James Norris Physical Education
Center provides ample opportunity
for a variety of recreational
activities, intramurals, courses and
intercollegiate athletics. The Center
for Applied Sciences and
Engineering Technology offers stu

A seasoned faculty and high academ
ic standards have earned Lake Supe
rior State University a reputation for
an enriched education in such areas
as liberal arts, engineering technol
ogy, business administration, social
sciences, biological sciences and
their allied fields.
The need to provide continuing
education for adults has not been
overlooked. The University offers
evening courses as well as confer
ences and cultural programs.
Enrollment of part-time students in
day classes is encouraged.

consists of 121 acres of spacious,
wooded campus on the western
heights of Sault Ste. Marie overlook
ing the St. Mary’s River, Lake
Superior and Sault Ste. Marie,
Ontario.
Students find that the city of Sault
Ste. Marie and its environs offer
much of value to enhance their edu
cational experiences.
Sault Ste.
Marie is one of the oldest cities in
the United States. It was a fur trad
ing center as early as the second
quarter of the seventeenth century.
In 1641, a Jesuit mission was estab
lished here, and 27 years later Fa
ther Marquette founded at the Sault
the first permanent settlement within
the limits of Michigan. The Sault
celebrated its 300th birthday in
1968.

�ACADEMIC
The Academic Policies and regulations of Lake Superior State University which
are intended to guide students through an orderly and successful pursuit of their
academic goals, describe the necessary actions and procedures for which students
are responsible. They outline the students’ expectations and rights while enrolled
as a university student. Advisors, department heads and personnel of university
offices will help students to understand these policies and regulations; however,
it is each student’s individual responsibility to comply with them.
THE ACADEMIC
YEAR
^ake Superior State University is on
a semester system. (Previous to Fall
Semester 1991 it was on a quarter
system.) The academic year consists
of a Fall Semester (September
through December) and a Spring
Semester (January through April or
early May).
Fall and Spring
semesters consist of fifteen weeks of
instruction followed by a week for
final examinations.
During the
Summer Semester (May through
early August) most courses are
conducted during an eight week
period which includes two days for
final examinations. Specific dates
for each semester are found in the
University Calendar located
elsewhere in this book.
ACADEMIC CREDIT
In a lecture/recitation type course
students receive one credit for each
fifteen hours of classroom
instruction. (For example, a threecredit course of this type might be
scheduled 9:00 to 9:50 AM Monday,
Wednesday and Friday. An "hour"
period is usually only 50 minutes
long, with ten minutes allowed for
students to move from class to
class.)
Courses including laboratory, field
work or other non-lecture formats
may be scheduled for more than one
hour per week per credit. In general,
one credit requires an average of
three hours of the student’s time per
In
week for the semester,
lecture/recitation courses this would
normally be accomplished with one
hour of classroom attendance and
two hours of preparation or study.
An average student credit load per
semester is sixteen credits. One
hundred twenty-four credits is the
minimum number required for a
Some
baccalaureate degree,
programs require more than this
minimum.
CLASSIFICATION
OF STUDENTS
Students are assigned to one of four
class levels as follows: 0 to 25
credits = Freshman; 26 to 55 credits
= Sophomore; 56 to 87 = Junior;
88+ = Senior.

STUDENT
CURRICULUM
CHOICE AND
ADVISING
Students are encouraged to select a
major program upon admission to
the University,
The academic
department offering the chosen
program is called the "major
department". The school dean of
the major department assigns an
academic advisor to each of the
students. An advisor assists students
in course selection each semester, in
understanding program and
university requirements and
regulations, in evaluating academic
progress, and in other matters
related to successful academic
achievement. Lake Superior State
University is firmly committed to
providing students personalized
advising and support. Students are
encouraged to actively seek help
from their instructors, advisors,
department chair, Division of
General Studies, Counseling Center,
and any other faculty, staff or office
which they believe might be of
assistance. The Division of General
Studies provides academic tutoring
as does the Native American Center
and academic departments. These
services are usually provided without
charge to enrolled students.
Additional information concerning
advising services is listed under
testing and counseling service in this
catalog.
Students who are undecided about
their choice of a major program are
classified as majoring in Liberal
Arts, an associate degree program,
and assigned a provisional academic
advisor until another major is
chosen.
Students may change their major
curriculum by
processing a
Curriculum Change Card through
The
the Registrar’s Office.
Registrar’s Office,
Counseling
Center and departmental offices can
provide students with the card and
instructions for processing it.
Curriculum Change cards must be
filed with the Registrar’s Office each
time a curriculum change is made so
that advisor materials, grade reports
and graduation information will be
sent to the correct school and
advisor. Students will be assigned a
new advisor when a curriculum
change is made.
Students may
request a change of advisor by
asking the dean of their school to
make such change.
Students who are provisionally
admitted to Lake Superior State
University through the Division of
General Studies will be assigned to
an academic advisor from within that
Division until the student meets the
exiting criteria which enables them
to enter their chosen major
unconditionally.
SEMESTER
COURSE
SELECTION
Each semester the Registrar/
Scheduling Office publishes a
Course Schedule listing all courses

�offered during the semester along
with related information such as
days and hour of course offering,
instructor and the final examination
time. This booklet is available
several weeks before the semester
begins and contains timely and
important information for students.
Students are responsible for reading
each semester’s Course Schedule and
adhering to its instructions. Course
Schedules and scheduling materials
are available from all departmental
offices and the Scheduling Office.
After academic advising, students
schedule courses by submitting
required materials to the Registrar/
Scheduling Office according to the
time schedule described in the
Course Schedule. After scheduling
courses, students have a limited
period of time to pay tuition and
related fees. At the end of this
period students will be dropped from
classes for non-payment.

schedule their first courses in
mathematics or English.
Maximum student credit load is
twenty credits per semester, with the
exception that students having a 3.00
cumulative grade point average may
take additional credit with written
approval of the dean of their school.
Students on academic probation and
enrolled in Division of General
Studies should not take more than
fifteen credits per semester.
Prerequisites: Students must satisfy
prerequisites, and any other stated
conditions before enrolling in a
course or have permission from an
instructor to waive the prerequisites.
Enrollment in a course may be
revoked (with an N grade) if it is
found during the regular drop period
that the proper prerequisites have not
been met. Responsibility rests with
students to be certain that they have
the approved prerequisites.
Permission to take any course out of
sequence is seldom granted even to
exceptional students, since electing a
course for which one is not prepared
imposes an additional burden not
reflected in the total number of
credits being carried. Students must
earn passing grades in a prerequisite
course before taking the next course
in sequence. For some courses a C
(2.00) grade or better is required.
Exceptions may be made only by
school dean or the course instructor.
Students who receive a D grade in a
prerequisite course or a course in the
major are strongly advised (and may
be required) to repeat the course,
and raise the D, before continuing.
Repeats: Students may not repeat a
course by enrollment or examination
if they have passed a course for
which the repeated course is a
prerequisite. Exceptions may be
granted by the school dean with the
concurrence of the Registrar.
Changes in course schedule: A
period of time is provided at the
beginning of each semester for
students to add or delete courses.
Courses deleted during this period
will not appear on a student’s
permanent record (transcript). The
add/delete period for a full semester
course begins on the first day of the
semester, and ends on the sixth
university business day. For courses
which span less than a full semester,
a shorter add/delete period may be
established. During the add/delete
period schedule changes are initiated

A student’s add or
withdrawal from a course is not
officially completed unless the
appropriate form is filed with the
Registrar/Scheduling Office.
Students are advised to retain the
official receipt they are given upon
completion of an add or drop
procedure.
Late Adds: Students requesting to
add courses after the end of the
add/delete period must obtain
permission and a special form for
this purpose from the Registrar’s
Office, obtain the written approval
of the instructor, and then return the
form to the Registrar’s Office. A
service charge will be charged for
this procedure. Students are
responsible for all class work
missed previous to adding a class.
Non-attendance at first class:
Students scheduled for a course, but
not attending the first class meeting,
may be deleted by the instructor
during the delete period. In this
case, the instructor shall submit a
delete form and notify the student.
Dropping courses after the
add/delete period: Students may
drop a course during the first forty
days of a full semester course. For
courses running less than a full
semester the semester Course
Schedule booklet will contain official
dates each semester.
(The time
period for dropping will be equal to
54 percent of the course instructional
period.) A student’s record shall

WITHDRAWAL
FROM THE
UNIVERSITY
Full-time students who withdraw
from the University during the first
eight-weeks of the semester should
report in person to the Counseling
Center and complete a withdrawal
form for the Registrar’s office. The
Registrar will authorize the
appropriate refund, if any. Refunds
will be mailed after the end of the
refund period. After the eight-week
drop period, students must report to
the Registrar’s Office for the
Withdrawal Form.
Proper clearance of University
obligations assures that students can
later receive transfer of credits.
Students with a hold on their
•anscript will not receive a
ranscript of credits until clearance
is complete.
THE GRADING
SYSTEM
Grade point average (GPA). To
compute the grade point average for
a semester, divide the total points
earned by the total credits carried.
Credits carried include those failed
or earned but not credits for
Credit/No Credit courses. To figure
the cumulative grade point average
divide the total points earned by the
total credits carried in all semesters.
When a course is repeated, count
only the credits carried and the
points of the last grade earned.
Thus, successfully repeating courses
in which students initially earned a
D or F is an effective way for them
to improve their cumulative GPA.
A cumulative grade point average of
2.00 for all credits carried is
required for graduation. Further,
the student must compile a 2.00
grade point average for all
departmental courses required in the
student’s major and minor(s).

ACADEMIC
PROBATION
Students at Lake Superior State
University enjoy a considerable
degree of self-determination; they
decide for themselves when and how
long to work on each assignment.
The best way to succeed in this task
is to work out a weekly schedule
with two hours of study time
earmarked as preparation for each
one-hour class. (In a few cases, the
instructor may suggest some other
division of time.)
Most students are able to maintain
good work in all their courses. A
few fall short of satisfactory
performance. For them, a system of
academic probation is used.
Academic probation is considered a
warning to students that their
scholastic performance is below the
University’s minimum requirements.
During this period, students should
determine for themselves whether to
continue their programs as planned.
No student while on probation shall
carry more than 15 credits per
semester exclusive of band and
recreational activities. The Vice
President for Student Services, in
consultation with the student’s
advisor, may impose restrictions on
the student’s extra-curricular
activities.
It is the responsibility of students to
familiarize themselves with all
academic regulations including those
relating to probation, and to keep
informed as to their academic
standing.
The rules governing
academic probation, dismissal, and
reinstatement follow.
1. Students will be on academic
probation if their cumulative
grade point average is in the "on
probation" category.
2. Students whose cumulative grade
point average at the conclusion
of a semester falls into the
dismissal range of the academic
standing table will be dismissed.
3. After a first or second dismissal
a student has the following
options:
a. Allow two semesters
(summer may be counted for
one semester) to elapse
before re-enrollment or
b. Petition the Scholastic
Standards Committee for
readmittance.

This action is initiated with
the Registrar. The Commit

whose decision is final.

dismissal will be dismissed again
after any semester in which their
cumulative grade point average
falls in the dismissal category.

NCR is given. To be eligible for
this option students must be in good
academic standing, not on academic
probation. Only one such course
per semester is permitted and no
more than twelve semester credits in
such courses may be presented
toward a student’s degree
requirements.
Additionally, this
credit/no credit option may not be
selected in courses which satisfy
major, minor or general education
requirements. Students must apply
at the Registrar’s Office during the
six-day add period if they want to
enroll in a graded course under the

�credit/no credit policy. This option
may not be changed after the six-day
add period. Academic performance
at the level of 2.00 or higher is
required for the credit, CR, grade.
Instructors are not advised of a
student’s option to be graded
credit/no credit.
Certain courses are always offered
with a credit/no credit grading
format.
Such courses have this
information in their official course
descriptions and course syllabi. The
above policy and limitations do not

EXAMINATION
There are three examination
processes by which a student may
earn credit for individual courses or
general education requirements;
Advanced Placement, CLEP and
departmental examinations. Proc

and CLEP examinations are
described in the Admissions section
of this Catalog. Students must be
admitted to a degree program before
being eligible to receive credit by
examination. A maximum of 30
credits may be earned by
examination. CLEP examinations, if
available, will be used to determine
whether credit shall be granted.
Departments may provide their own
examinations for certain courses.
Students should inquire at the
academic department offering the
course whether a departmental
examination is available.
If an
examination is available, the school
dean’s written approval to take the
examination must be obtained.
fee amount will be equivalent to that
for CLEP exams and students will
not be charged tuition for the credits
earned. An examination grade of
2.00 or better is required for credit
to be earned. Course and credit
earned by examination shall be
recorded on the student’s transcript
with the grade marked as CR. Some
universities may not accept for
transfer, credit earned by
departmental examination.
TRANSCRIPTS
Students desiring transcripts of their
Lake Superior State University
records must present or send a
written request to the Registrar’s
Office. Information such as name
(at enrollment), ID number, dates of
attendance is necessary. A fee may
be charged for each copy of the

Section 438 of the General
Education Provisions Act, as
amended, sets forth the requirements
to be met by an educational
institution to protect the privacy of
students. This Act is called the
Family Educational Rights and
Privacy Act and shall be referred to

opportunity for a hearing to
challenge such records on the
grounds that they are inaccurate,
misleading or inappropriate.
Educational institutions must also
obtain written consent before
releasing personally identifiable data
about students from records to other
than a specified list of exceptions.
In addition, students must be notified
of these rights.

record to insure that the record does
not contain inaccurate or misleading
information or is in violation of the
privacy or other rights of the
student. This procedure may not be

The following
to students,
procedure will be implemented after

NOTES
ACADEMIC POLICIES • 32
�P^
ACADEMIC POLICIES • 33
�STUDENT
OF BEHAVIOR
Membership in the University Community carries with it both privileges and
responsibilities. The University cannot accept acts that interfere with the basic
process of the academic enterprise, nor acts which interfere with the rights of
other members of its community. Following are the basic regulations which
govern the behavior and conduct on the Lake Superior State University campus:
1. ASSEMBLY: No person, or
persons, shall assemble in a manner
which obstructs the free movement
of persons about the campus, or the
free and normal use of University
buildings and facilities, or prevents
or obstructs the normal operation of
the University.
2. ALCOHOL AND DRUGS:
Any student found guilty of being
under the influence of drugs, or
possessing, or selling drugs or
narcotics will be subject to
immediate dismissal from the
University,
Any student who
disregards the laws of the State
regarding drinking as a minor is
subject to disciplinary action
including fines, or dismissal for
repeated offenses. A student of 21
years of age who purchases alcoholic
beverages for minors, or who
participates in any way, faces not
only legal action from the State but
additional penalty from the
University.
The laws of the State of Michigan
prohibit the sale of alcoholic
beverages on any unlicensed
premise. No alcohol may be offered
for sale on any unlicensed portion of
the University campus, and no
hidden fee (such as admissions
charges, charges for food, etc.) may
be used to hide or conceal a charge
Any
for alcoholic beverages,
organization, group, or individual
offering alcohol to others anywhere
on the campus shall be required to
follow provisions of the University’s
alcohol policy, distributed annually
to all campus residents. Violators
may suffer loss of campus
privileges, disciplinary action by the
University, and prosecution by civil
authorities.
3. CHEATING AND PLAGIA
RISM: The assumption of the
academic contract is that the student
does his or her own work: any
breach of the contract is considered
cheating. The faculty member who
detects a student cheating may take
appropriate action, such as assigning
a failing grade for the entire course.
A student who cheats is subject to
dismissal from the University. If, in
the opinion of the faculty member
involved, such action in warranted,
he or she will notify the chairman of
the scholastic standards committee
and the student to that effect in
writing. The scholastic standards
committee will then conduct a
hearing in such a manner that the
student is given due process. If the
committee decides that dismissal is
warranted, the student shall have
STUDENT STANDARDS • 34
�STANDARDS
AND CONDUCT
five school days to appeal that
decision to the provost of the
University.
4. COMPLIANCE WITH UNI
VERSITY OFFICIALS: Students
are expected to comply with the
directions of University officials who
are acting in accordance with the
performance of their duties. Failure
to comply with such directions shall
be considered a serious disciplinary
violation.
5. FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS:
A student’s fees, loans, fines,
driving and parking penalties, etc.
are his or her responsibilities and
must be paid when due. Delay in
attention to financial responsibilities
may require some or all of the
following actions by the University:
it may withhold official transcripts,
prohibit further registration, remove
registration if already granted,
withhold further forms of financial
aid, and in severe cases, seek legal
action from outside agencies,
including the State of Michigan
itself.
6. FIREARMS AND EXPLO
SIVES: Explosives, firecrackers,
concealed weapons and similar items
are not permitted on campus.
Firearms are permitted, but must be
registered and stored by the office of
campus security. Any student who
keeps firearms anywhere in the
dormitory system will face dismissal
from the University.
7. GUEST SPEAKERS: Only
student organizations formally
recognized by the University may
invite speakers to the campus.
Reservations for rooms or lecture
halls for guest speakers are made
through the director of student
activities.
8. HOUSING: University housing
regulations are published annually in
the Housing Handbook. Students
failing to comply with these
regulations may suffer a variety of
disciplinary penalties, including
separation from the housing system
or separation from the University
itself.
9. I.D. CARDS: All students
enrolled in this institution are issued
an identification card to facilitate
recognition for the library, for
cashing checks, for campus voting,
for admission to campus activities,
etc. Misuse or alteration of the
University identification card,
current or expired, is considered a
serious offense subject to
disciplinary action.
10. PARKING: All students who
operate motor vehicles on campus
must register them each year
(normally accomplished during
registration). Annual registration
decals will be issued upon payment
of fees and evidence of a valid
operator’s license.
All vehicles
(with decals attached) must be
parked in areas assigned. Parking
and traffic ordinances will be
STUDENT STANDARDS • 35
�enforced and violators will be
assessed fines and may have their
campus registration and campus
driving privileges revoked. Special
parking arrangements can be made
for health and personal hardship
reasons at the Administration
Building Parking Office. Parking
and traffic violations are civil
infractions and may be referred to
91st District Court.
11. RECORDS: It is the specific
responsibility of the student to give
honest and complete replies to all
questions included in application
forms, financial aid forms, and in all
other University documents. Failure
to give correct and complete
information can result in cancellation
of the student’s registration.
Forgery or alteration on or of any
University document or record can
result in the separation of the student
from the University.
12. STUDENT NOTICES:
Student notices, posters, etc. must
be cleared for posting by the Center
for Student Services before being
placed on bulletin boards.
Maintenance personnel have been
instructed to remove all unauthorized
material from bulletin boards each
day. Normally posters and notices
will not exceed 17” by 22” in size.
13. STUDENT
ORGANIZATIONS: No student
organizations may use campus
facilities to solicit funds, or schedule
activities unless such organizations
have been approved by the
University. Approval of University
clubs and their operations must be in
accordance with University policies.
No organization which practices
either racial or sexual discrimination
will receive support, either directly
or indirectly from the University.
14. THEFT:
Property of the
University, as well as that of
individuals, must be respected.
Theft of any kind, whether of money
or of other property, is prohibited.
The destruction or mutilation of
books, magazines, or other library
material will not be tolerated. Theft
of, damage to, or destruction of the
property of others is considered a
serious offense against the
University community, and will
result in the separation of the student
from the University.
15. TREATMENT OF OTHERS:
Abuse, either physical or verbal, of
any person on University-owned or
controlled property, or at Universitysponsored or supervised functions,
will result in disciplinary action by
the University. No conduct will be
permitted which threatens or
endangers the health or safety of any
I person on the University campus or
at University related activities.

�ADMISSIONS
FRESHMEN
Prospective freshmen still in high
school may make application to Lake
Superior State University any time
during the final year of high school.
Applications for admission are
processed continuously and students
are notified as quickly as possible.
A final transcript of courses
completed during the final year must
be submitted to the Admissions
Office promptly after completion of
the school year. Failure to provide
a final transcript will result in the
withdrawal of an offer of admission.
An official score report from
American College Testing (ACT)
must also be submitted prior to class
registration.
Prospective freshmen who have
already graduated from high school
but not attended any college or
university must have an official
transcript sent directly from their
high school to the Admissions
Office. The transcript must include
all courses taken, starting with grade
nine, and graduation certification.
Admitted applicants who graduated
from high school fewer than 26
months prior to the date they wish to
enter the University must submit
their scores from American College
Testing (ACT) prior to registering
for classes.
The primary factor in evaluating an
application for admission is the
individual’s grade point average
starting with grade nine. All courses
are meEluded in the average.
Seventy-five piercent of the freshmen
admitted to L SSU have an overall
high school grade point average of
2.50 or higher. The top 25 percent
of the admitted freshmen have an
overall high school grade point
♦average of 3.22 or higher. The
average overall high school grade
point average for admitted freshmen
is 2.98 on a scale of 4.0. Secondary
factors which may also influence the
admission decision are the number
of academic courses an applicant has
completed, the trend from year to
year of the applicant’s grades, class
rank, and recommendations. ACT
scores are rarely a factor in the
admissions decision.
All credentials should be submitted
to the Admissions Office at least
three weeks before the semester of
entry. However, if available spaces
become filled, application processing
will end at an earlier date.
To qualify for admission as
freshmen, applicants are expected to
be graduates of accredited secondary
schools. Any student graduating
from a non-accredited school should
contact the Director of Admissions
for an explanation of the testing
procedure used to evaluate an
applicant who has attended a nonaccredited school.
Students denied regular admission
have at least two alternatives:
1. Apply for possible enrollment
witnin the Division of General
Studies. For more information
on this enrollment option refer to
the description of the Division of
General Studies located later
within this section.

The Admissions Office uses two
grading scales, shown below, when
evaluating an Ontario secondary
school applicant. OAC and A level
courses are considered more
demanding and their content more
appropriate preparation for
university-level courses than are G
level courses. B level courses are
never included in the grade point
average.
Secondary factors which may also
influence the admission decision are
the number of academic courses an
applicant has completed, the trend
from year to year of the applicant’s
grades, and recommendations.
Students denied regular admission
have at least two alternatives:
1. Apply for possible enrollment
within the Division of General
Studies. For more information
on this enrollment option refer to
the description of the Division of
General Studies located later
within this section.
2. Reapply for admission after
attending another accredited
college of their choice and
earning at least 30 semester (45
quarter) hours of transferable
credit.
The evaluation for
admission is then based upon the
college record rather than the
high school record.
A report of ACT scores is required
from all Ontario secondary school
students. ACT scores are used for
counseling and placement purposes,
rather than as a factor in the
admissions decision.
Additional information for Ontario
secondary school students is
available in Informational Handbook

Canadian applicants from provinces
other than Ontario are also welcome
and will be evaluated on the basis of
the education system in their

13/0AC COURSES
Students who completed grade 13 or
OAC courses before September,
1990 receive transfer credit at the
University for each course in which
a final mark of at least 60 percent
was earned. Transfer credit will not
be granted for OAC courses
completed after that date. However,
completion of OAC courses prepares
some students to earn credit through
testing. Up to 30 semester hours of
credit may be earned by achieving
satisfactory scores on CLEP tests

Students wishing to attend on a parttime basis may enroll for up to
eleven credits per semester in
courses for which they have
sufficient academic background.
Unless high school students have
special permission from their
principals, part-time enrollment is
limited to those whose high school
class has already graduated. Parttime students not seeking degrees or
certificates, are not required to apply
formally for admission prior to
enrollment.
A course registration form must be
completed during the registration
period for each semester of
attendance,
These forms are
available through the University’s
Registrar/Scheduling and Commu
nity Services and Development
offices.
Should a part-time student later

Part-time students are not officially
assigned to faculty advisors.
However, they are encouraged to
seek assistance in selecting courses
from the appropriate academic
schools at Lake Superior State
University.
TECH PREP
The national Tech Prep movement is
supported at Lake Superior State
University. As a testimony of its
institutional support, grades earned
in applied high school science and
mathematics courses contribute to
the high school GPA computed for
university admission. Tech prep,
with its emphasis upon curricular
integration between secondary and
postsecondary educational insti
tutions, assists Lake Superior State
University in creating a broader
array of educational options for its
students.
Lake Superior State believes that
Tech Prep agreements open career
doors and professional pathways for
high school students in applied
sciences, business, allied health and
technology. In keeping with the
national Tech Prep movement, Lake
Superior State University has created
articulation agreements with area
high schools to enhance applied and
career educational opportunities at

with its regional secondary education
partners, the university has created
pathways to applied education for

WHYDGS
For those students not meeting the

LENGTH OF DGS
While enrolled in DGS the student is
assigned to a DGS licensed
professional counselor who works
very closely with the student’s
respective academic department in
the academic advising process in
order to fully utilize that
department’s particular expertise
wherever appropriate.
DGS creates course schedules which
are personalized to meet the needs
and capabilities of each individual
student. These needs vary as much
as the uniqueness of one student
varies from another. The length of
time necessary to make a full,
successful transition varies from one
individual to another. However, the
student’s course schedule and
support services are based upon
competency and personal adjustment
so that students may exit as soon as
they are ready. Consequently, some
students will be ready by the end of
their first semester, while others
may take the four semesters. Some

NOTES
�STUDENT SERVICES
The University recognizes the value of a well-rounded program for student
development, and encourages students to participate in student activities. Students
should carefully consider their choice of activities according to their special
interests. There are opportunities to participate in the programs of the honorary,
social, and profession^ organizations, special interest clubs, student publications,
intramural, and intercollegiate activities.
Formation of clubs, of such personal
interest groups as camera and
amateur radio clubs, and of musical,
dramatic, and other organizations is
encouraged. Intramural athletics are
stressed, and varsity teams
representing Lake Superior State
University compete in several
athletic conferences.
Students are encouraged to take part
in outdoor activity. Good hunting
and excellent fishing are found
within a few miles of the University.
Favorite winter sports are skating,
hockey, snowshoeing, tobogganing,
ice fishing and skiing.
The H. Thayer Fletcher Center
houses a variety of offices providing
services to students: admissions,
financial aid, placement, and
registrar/scheduling, among others.
It is named after a man who visited
the campus one summer day in 1973
while back in his home town for a
few days "to arrange for some
scholarships." He set up a $25,000
fund to be paid in at $5,000 a year
for five years. Upon his death in
1979 the University learned that he
had left the bulk of his estate to
expand this scholarship fund to
almost more than a quarter of a
million dollars.
STUDENT SENATE
The Governing Body for many
student activities is the Student
Senate. All students are eligible for
election to Senate membership and
are encouraged to participate in this
active student organization. The
Senate each spring selects its future

The Center also has a snack bar,
informal lounges and recreational
areas.
A number of modem student
apartments are available on campus.
Married students or groups of single
students desiring living accommo
dations should contact the housing

The Student Village and Townhouse
units were constructed with a loan
from the Federal Government which
is to be repaid from the room
rentals. The University Board of
Regents, in obtaining this loan
agreed to provide for maximum
occupancy and use of the buildings.
As a result, the University reserves
the right to transfer students to the
Townhouses or the Student Village
To avoid
during the year,
unnecessary inconvenience, such
transfers are normally made between

�FINANCIAL AID
The University strives to reward the scholar and to meet the needs of the many
students who apply for financial assistance. A combination of University, state
and federal programs enable many students to receive a "financial aid package"
which may include a combination of scholarship, loan, grant, and/or work
assistance. Priority in aid awards will be to full-time undergraduate students.
All students should carefully consider the full cost of their education, parental
support, and savings, including savings from summer employment, in determining
their need for financial aid. Students with excellent high school or community
college grades are encouraged to apply for scholarships regardless of need.
Students with need will be considered for loans, grants, and/or employment on the
basis of need established from the Free Application for Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA).
Applications for all financial aid programs are available from the Office of Student
Financial Aid. The staff of this office will be happy to counsel with applicants and
their parents concerning the costs of attending the University, availability of
financial aid, and application procedures.
All applications for financial aid must be received by April 1. Financial
Statements (FAFSA) must be postmarked on or before March 1.

RETAINING AID
(SATISFACTORY PROGRESS
POLICY)
A policy of great importance to
students receiving financial aid
defines the rate of academic
progress and success which must
be met if financial aid is to be
retained. If you are receiving any
form of financial aid, please study
the following section carefully:
Financial aid regulations require
satisfactory progress for students to
remain eligible for financial aid.
Programs affected by this policy are:
Federal Pell Grant, Federal Perkins
Student Loan, Federal College
Work-Study, Federal Supp lemental
Educational Opportunity Grant, the
Federal Stafford Student Loan
Programs, Board of Regents
Scholarships, Board of Regents
Grant,
Michigan Competitive
Scholarship, and all other
institutional scholarships and grants.
The following is tne minimum
requirement for all types of financial
aid; however, there are some types
of aid, such as scholarships, with
more stringent requirements:
Every student must maintain, at the
end of each semester, a cumulative
grade point average (GPA) of at
least:
Credits
Attempted
0-25
26-55
56-87
88 +
Cumulative
GPA
1.70
1.86
1.93
1.97
APPLICATION OF
POLICY
First-year freshmen and new transfer
students not meeting the GPA
requirement after their first semester
will be placed on Financial Aid
Probation for one semester. The
cumulative GPA after the
probationary semester must satisfy
the minimum GPA or the student
will have their financial aid
suspended. Students enrolled for
more than one semester will not
have a probationary semester and
must meet the schedule above.
Quantitative Standards:
Students are expected to complete an
associate degree in six semesters, a
four-year degree in twelve
semesters, and a masters in six
semesters of full-time study.

Once financial aid is suspended, both
the GPA and credit completion
criteria must be met in subsequent
semesters before reinstatement of aid
is possible.
If completion of "I" grades or other
record changes warrant a rein
statement, a written notice from the
Registrar’s Office must be presented
to the Financial Aid Office by the

have attained the minimum
cumulative grade point average and
credit earned requirements while not
receiving financial aid processed
through the University. Successful
students then must advise the
Financial Aid Office in writing that
:hey meet the requirements for
reinstatement.

students are based on the number of
full-time equivalent credits
transferred to LSSU. For example,
a student with 68 transfer credits
must earn a GPA of 1.93 or higher
and must meet the quantitative credit
hour minimum requirements each
semester.

GRANTS
For most students, Federal student
aid begins with PELL Grants, which
provide a foundation of financial
assistance to which other forms of
aid may be added. A distinguishing
feature of this program is its centrrn
concept of "entitlement," which
guarantees that students who
demonstrate need will receive a
grant based on that need and on the
cost of education at the post
secondary school they choose to
attend.
PELL Grants for the award period
(July 1, 1994 to June 30, 1995) will
range up to $2,300 as determined by
a standard formula.

LOANS
FEDERAL PERKINS
LOANS (National
Direct Student Loans)
The Perkins Student Loan program
is for students who are enrolled at
least half-time in an eligible program
and need a loan to meet their
educational expenses.
Students may borrow up to $3,000
for each year of undergraduate
study.
The maximum debt for
undergraduates is $15,000. The
amount awarded by the University is
generally less due to limited funds.
Repayment begins nine months after
students graduate or leave school for
other reasons. Students may be
allowed up to ten years to pay back
the loan, and during the repayment
period they will be charged five
percent interest on the unpaid
balance of the loan principal.
The amount of the repayment
depends upon the size of the debt
and ability to pay; but in most cases,
students must pay at least $40 a
month unless the school agrees to a
lesser amount. This agreement for
a lesser amount may be due to
extraordinary circumstances such as
prolonged unemployment.
Default: If a student defaults on a
Perkins Loan and the school is
unable to collect, the Federal
Government will take action to
recover the loan. If such student is
discharged in bankruptcy, becomes
totally or permanently disabled or
dies, loan obligations will be
cancelled.
Deferment of payment is available
while borrower is:
A. enrolled and in attendance as
at least a half-time student at
an institution of higher
education;
B. for any period not to exceed
three (3) years during which

�POLITICAL SCIENCE
Political Science is the systematic study of government and politics. Since
government and politics are found at many levels-intemational, national, state,
and local—and all over the world, political science has many facets. All of these
facets receive attention in the political science program at Lake Superior State
University.
The goal of the curriculum is to
prepare students interested in
government and politics for
rewarding careers and lifetimes of
learning and involvement. To best
achieve this goal, three distinct
concentrations or tracks are available
for students of political science:
1. general political science
2 pre-law
3. public administration.
Each concentration has been
designed to provide a combination of
knowledge and skills that is uniquely
appropriate for those with particular
career goals. However, choosing
one concentration over the others
does not limit a student to one
particular career path-each of the
concentrations provides a solid
grounding in political science.
BACHELOR OF ARTS/SCIENCE
POLITICAL SCIENCE - GENERAL
The general political science concentration is designed to provide a broad
ducation in political science. It is most appropriate for students who plan to
ittend graduate school in political science and for those with an interest in
government and politics who wish to get a broad, liberal education as preparation
for a career in business, government, or journalism. Students who continue their
education in graduate school most often pursue careers as professors, researchers,
consultants, or government officials. Students who do not pursue graduate study
choose from a wide variety of career options in business, government, and
journalism.

POLITICAL SCIENCE - PRE-LAW
The pre-law concentration provides students of political science interested in legal
careers with a planned curriculum that prepares them especially well for law
school and for careers in law. Students who choose this option are often interested
in careers as attorneys, prosecutors, or judges. It should be noted that this is not
a mandatory pre-law curriculum; it is a curriculum for pre-law students who have
a special interest in government and politics.
Noteworthy features of this concen
tration are a special course on the
nature of legal careers and how to
prepare for them; two courses in
legal research and writing that
provide students with a head start in
using a law library and in
conducting legal research; and a
well-designed combination of
support courses in logic, debate,
writing, accounting, and research.

POLITICAL SCIENCE - PUBLIC
ADMINISTRATION
The public administration concentration is most appropriate for students who plan
to work in an administrative capacity in public agencies or nonprofit org
with public missions. Students who choose this option are preparing
of public service. Such careers may be pursued through positions^
agencies at the local, state or provincial, and national levels. Other p
y

�be found in nonprofit organizations involved in public concerns, such as Common
Cause, the Environmental Defense Fund, and the Michigan Health Council. Some
of these careers of public service may be pursued with only a bachelor’s degree.
Others may require completion of a master’s degree in public administration or a
related field.
Senior public administration students
will complete an internship as part
of their education. Internships allow
students to apply the knowledge they
have gained in the classroom in an
on-the-job setting. They are also
valuable for creating a record of
experience that will impress prospec
tive employers and help the student
become established in a career.
Internships, which are arranged with
the assistance of an advisor, are
available with local, state or
provincial, and federal agencies.

PRELAW
No prescribed course of study can be recommended to all students who plan to
attend law school. Students entering law school choose undergraduate majors from
a wide variety of fields. However, a pre-law concentration is offered in the
political science curriculum, and various law courses are offered as a part of the
legal assistant studies program at Lake Superior State University. See the
appropriate political science and legal assistant studies program listings.
Students interested in a legal career
should consult with the pre-law
advisor, Professor Carol Andary,
early and often during their
Pre-law
undergraduate studies,
planning, based on consultation with
the advisor, will allow the student to
make an informed choice of
curriculum and of elective courses
that will help with the development
of the skills mentioned below. The
pre-law advisor will also provide
pre-law students with a variety of
materials about admission to law
school, the law school admission
test, and careers in law.
A student’s undergraduate grade
point average and his or her score
on the Law School Admission Test
(LSAT) are the two most important
criteria for admission to law school.
Details on admission policies of law
schools throughout the country, and
the degree to which these schools
may use other criteria in addition to
grade point average and LSAT
score, may be found in the Pre-Law
Handbook.
This handbook is
published by the Law School
Admission Council/Law School
Admission Services and is the
official law school guide. It may be
examined by contacting the pre-law
advisor or purchased in many book
stores.
Although there is no prescribed
major which must be taken for
admission to law school, some
curricula may be better than others
in helping students develop skills
necessary for admission to law
school and for a successful legal
career. A broad and challenging
undergraduate curriculum is the best

ARTS, LETTERS AND SOCIAL SCIENCES • 115
�iy>-i gw Handbook stresses that a
student’s undergraduate education
should lead to the dey,exloPme!JVw
skills in three areas: (1) the ability
to understand and express oneself
well in words, (2) the development
of a critical understanding ot the
human institutions and values with
which the law deals, and (3) the
development of creative power in
thinking. A pre-law student should
consider the need to develop these
skills in selecting his or her
curriculum. In addition, students
should think about whether the
curriculum they choose can provide
an alternative to a career in law
should they eventually choose not to
pursue a legal career.

in the Great Lakes area. Course
content will include the study of

The Engineering Team: Most activities involving engineering have increased in
complexity so that a team of engineering professionals is required. The size and
cost of engineering endeavors have dictated the employment of professional
engineers, engineering technologists, technicians and skilled craftsmen as a team.
Bachelor of science degrees in engineering technology are offered at LSSU along
with associate degrees in engineering technology. LSSU offers the first two years
of a professional engineering program after which a student can transfer to a
school of engineering. LSSU does not offer training in the skilled trades.
PROGRAMS
accreditation of engineering and
engineering technology education.
The education of engineering
technologists focuses on application
and implementation of current
Engineering
technologies,
technology programs strive to
balance the theoretical and practical
aspects of engineering science.
Typical job responsibilities of
engineering technologists include
product and process design, system
design and implementation, and
operations management. Graduates
with bachelor of science degrees are
adequately prepared for graduate
studies in engineering technology.
B.S. in Engineering Technology:
LSSU offers Bachelor of Science
degrees (4-year) programs in
Automated
Manufacturing,
Electrical/Electronics, Environ
mental, and Mechanical Engineering
Technology. These programs utilize
mathematics at the calculus level and
provide appropriate laboratory
experiences.
Accreditation: All of the programs
in Engineering Technology, both 4year and 2-year, are accredited by
the Technology Accreditation
Commission of the Accreditation
Board for Engineering and
Technology. The U.S. Department
of Education formally recognizes
this board’s exclusive jurisdiction for

Entrance Requirements: To qualify
for admission as freshmen in
engineering technology, applicants
must be graduates of accredited
secondary schools with above
average standing in their class. The
secondary school preparation should
include a four-year curriculum of at
least 15 units of acceptable entrance
credits.
The following subjects
should be included in these credits:
one unit of beginning algebra, one
unit of advanced algebra, and one
unit of science with laboratory. An
additional unit of trigonometry or

Automated Manufacturing Engineering
Technology
The Automated Manufacturilng Engineering Technology program emphasizes the
application of robotics, computer systems and automation to modem
manufacturing. This program combines the disciplines of mechanical, electrical,
computer, and manufacturing engineering technologies in preparing students for
modem manufacturing and production career responsibilities.
The Automated Manufacturing
Engineering Technology (AMET)
program is a capstone program and
therefore assumes a two-year
background in an appropriate
engineering technology or preengineering curriculum. Graduates
will be prepared to design, integrate,
and implement various systems for
automated manufacturing. Technical
courses in the final two years will be
based upon the student’s previous
background and are designed to
produce a well-rounded and versatile
engineering technologist.
An individualized plan of study for
each transfer student will be
generated by the AMET faculty in
consultation with the student. This
plan of study will provide a schedule
of courses needed to fulfill the
AMET degree requirements as set
forth by the University, TAC/
ABET, and the faculty.
NOTES
TRANSFER
STUDENTS
Students from community colleges
with a background in an engineering
technology curriculum can usually
transfer directly into the third year
of the automated manufacturing
program. Most community college
programs in Michigan have transfer
curriculum agreements with LSSU.

MATHEMATICS
A most productive tool: Mathematics is the foundation of the
sciences and the technology largely responsible for our present
standard of living. Mathematics is one of the most productive tools
yet discovered for unraveling the mysteries of our universe. In
some instances, it is the only language in which some ideas can be
expressed. Courses offered in this discipline provide the foundation
for future work in mathematics. Our teaching objectives are
twofold: to give students an understanding of mathematics, and to
impart an understanding of the many ways in which this tool may be
used.
Career opportunities: Mathematicians are employed as teachers in secondary
schools, colleges and universities. Many work for government agencies sue as
the Department of Defense, National Aeronautics and Space Administration and
the Department of Commerce. Companies providing computer and data
processing services, educational and testing services, and managemen an
actuarial services also employ mathematicians.
Graduate study improves opportunities for mathematicians and students are
encouraged and supported in their graduate school plans and placement. Graduate
study in numerous fields related to mathematics is possible.
Entrance Requirements: To qualify
for admission to the program in

state and federal laws enacted to
protect our natural resources and
federal restrictions on the use of our
renewable resources should consider
obtaining both an Associate Degree
in Natural Resources Technology (2
years) and a Bachelor of Science
Degree in Criminal Justice (3
additional years). The NRT degree
will provide the student with a good
general background in natural
resources and the Criminal Justice
degree will allow the student to be
fully qualified for many different
law enforcement opportunities. Jobs
for conservation law offices are
limited, but the above configuration
of degrees prepares a student to be
highly competitive for openings that
do occur. Students selecting this
course of study should work closely
with their advisor in order to
complete both degrees in the five
year span. After completing the
two-year NRT Associate Degree,
students would complete the
following sequence of courses. This
plan assumes MLEOTC certif
ication. 91 additional hours.

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE
EXERCISE SCIENCE
The Exercise Science major concentrates on developing an understanding of the
physiological and psychological consequences of exercise in various populations,
and applying this knowledge to fitness, clinical and research settings. The need
for exercise science professionals is growing in each of these areas as exercise
continues to occupy a prominent role in enhancing the quality of life and
maintaining health; and, gains prominence in the treatment and prevention of
lifestyle diseases such as cardiovascular disease, hypertension, obesity, and
diabetes. Employment opportunities for exercise science professionals are
becoming more varied and requiring increased levels of expertise and technical
skills. This major is designed to prepare students to meet these professional
challenges through a skill- development approach in the critical areas of exercise
testing and exercise prescription. The required 125 graduation credits emphasize
course work in physiology, pathophysiology, sports medicine, laboratory
procedures, research methods, exercise psychology and computer applications.

�□ Athletic Training Concentration
A person who receives a degree concentration in Athletic Training, which is also
referred to as Sports Medicine, will become a highly skilled professional who
deals directly with injuries which occur to athletes. The athletic trainer works
closely with physicians and other health care professionals in order to provide
today’s athletes with the best medical care possible. Those who pursue a career
in athletic training may seek employment on the high school, college, or
professional sport level. In addition, the athletic trainer may be employed in
sports medicine and health fitness clinics, which have increased in numbers during
the past decade. All the above mentioned positions usually require certification by
the National Athletic Trainers’ Association. Students completing the concentration
at Lake Superior State University will be more marketable in the field of exercise
science and eligible for a variety of graduate programs in athletic training and
sports medicine throughout the country. Any student wishing to achieve eligibility
to sit for the National Athletic Trainers’ Association certification examination will
receive individual guidance in that direction.

�FISHERIES &
WILDLIFE
Fisheries and wildlife courses place
strong emphasis on understanding
organisms in their habitats and these
courses blend a conceptual under
standing of fish and wildlife
populations with practical knowledge
of relevant lab and field techniques.
Students work with, and must learn
to identify, a wide variety of plants,
fish, birds, and mammals.
Students graduating from this
rigorous curriculum can meet the
qualifications of state and federal
government agencies as technicians
and biologists. Students desiring
certification by the Wildlife Society
should consult with an advisor for
details. Other career opportunities
include positions as naturalists,
conservation officers, and related
professions,
The rigorous
curriculum provides an extremely
competitive background for
admittance to graduate school. All
students majoring in fisheries and
wildlife management are strongly
encouraged to consider pursuing a
graduate degree.
ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS:

Pre-professional: Medicine, Optometry,
Dentistry, Veterinary Medicine
Professional schools, including
medical, dental, optometry, and
veterinary schools, typically do not
specifically require any college
cfegree, let alone a specific degree in
biology. However, applicants to
professional schools are seldom
accepted with only three years of
undergraduate credit. Further, since
career goals often change, preprofessional students at LSSU are
encouraged to remain four years and
complete the requirements for a
baccalaureate degree. A survey of
medical and dental school admission
requirements for the United States
ana Canada as published by the
American and Canadian Associations
of Medical and Dental Colleges
shows that courses taken for either
the Lake Superior State University
Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of
SCIENCE AND NATURAL RESOURCES • 233
�Arts degree in Biology meet the
most stringent entrance require
ments. Therefore, although other
curricula may be pursued as preprofessional degrees, most students
elect to strive toward a degree in
biology.
Pre-Professional Advisory Board:
The board consists of representatives
from the disciplines of biology and
chemistry including two preprofessional advisors,
This
committee serves to aid the progress
of all pre-professional students
throughout their undergraduate
careers. In addition to assessing a
student’s progress at the end of their
sophomore year, where possible the
committee will write a formal
recommendation to the appropriate
medical, optometry, veterinary or
dental university. By virtue of our
small size and student to faculty
ratio, we can write an in-depth letter
based upon our personal knowledge
of each student’s abilities and
performance rather than merely
using grade point average and
MCAT, VAT, DAT or OAT scores.
These letters, which take into
account the aspects of the student’s
personality that relate to their
potential as a medical professional,
are highly regarded by the various
professional schools in Michigan as
well as in the province of Ontario.
A handbook is available to all LSSU
pre-health professional students upon
formal admission to our programs.
This handbook is designed to assist
students in achieving their goal of
successful entrance into professional
school.
Pre-Pharmacy (Transfer Program)
The two-year course of study
outlined below is a guide for those
who plan to apply for admission and
transfer to a three-year professional
pharmacy curriculum at another
institution,
In Michigan, such
programs are offered at Ferris State
University, University of Michigan,
and Wayne State University. For
further information and planning,
students are advised to consult
catalogs from these or other
institutions. Generally, application
for admission to a professional
pharmacy curriculum must be
submitted after completing the first
year of pre-pharmacy studies.
Usually students must have a
cumulative grade point average of
2.00 as well as grades of C or better
in sciences and mathematics.
Students entering Ferris State
University with one year of high
school physics may pass a physics
proficiency examination in lieu of
the year of college physics. If the
latter courses are not taken, a
sequence of humanities or behavioral
science courses is recommended.
The following suggested schedule,
for instance, is recommended and
meets all requirements for admission
to the School of Pharmacy of Ferris
State University.

�THREE-YEAR DEGREE PLAN FOR A B.S. IN CRIMINAL
JUSTICE FOLLOWING THE NRT DEGREE.
Students with a particular interest in
state and federal laws enacted to
protect our natural resources and
federal restrictions on the use of our
renewable resources should consider
obtaining both an Associate Degree
in Natural Resources Technology (2
years) and a Bachelor of Science
Degree in Criminal Justice (3
additional years). The NRT degree
will provide the student with a good
general background in natural
resources and the Criminal Justice
degree will allow the student to be
fully qualified for many different
law enforcement opportunities. Jobs
for conservation law offices are
limited, but the above configuration
of degrees prepares a student to be
highly competitive for openings that
do occur. Students selecting this
course of study should work closely
with their advisor in order to
complete both degrees in the five
year span. After completing the
two-year NRT Associate Degree,
students would complete the
following sequence of courses. This
plan assumes MLEOTC certif
ication. 91 additional hours.

�DEPARTMENT OF
CHEMISTRY AND
ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE
Environmental
Chemistry
Environmental Chemistry is a
relatively new, fast-growing
subdiscipline of Chemistry that
addresses the need of society for a
safe, healthy environment by
applying chemical principles to the
maintenance and enhancement of
environmental quality. Chemicals
have increased our standard of living
and quality of life, but have also
exacted a heavy price in terms of
pollution and environmental
degradation. It is only through the
enlightened application of chemistry
that the problems caused by
chemicals can be solved and
environmental quality improved.
Anyone entering into an environ
mental field, as well as those
entering the chemical profession,
should have a basic understanding of
environmental chemistry. The envi
ronmental sector is the fastest
growing component of the U.S.
economy, and shortages are greatest
in the areas of environmental
chemistry as well as environmental
engineering. The Environmental
Chemistry program at Lake Superior
State University is intended for
students who have an interest in and
aptitude for chemistry and a concern
for the environment. The program

SCIENCE AND NATURAL RESOURCES • 243
�DEPARTMENT
GEOLOGY AND PHYSICS
Since the Beginning of the solar system our earth has been developing. Our
present environment is the result of the cumulative interaction of many dynamic
physical, chemical and biological processes.
Geology deals with the dynamic
earth, its physical makeup, and its
physical and organic history. It
involves the study of changes which
have taken place and the forces
which cause, and are now causing,
these changes.
By drawing on
concepts of biology, chemistry,
mathematics and physics, geologists
attempt to understand the physical
environment in which we live and
from which we derive most of the
natural resources essential to our
civilization.
Our civilization
requires many non-renewable natural
resources in order to survive. Since
the turn of the century, we have
used more and more of these
resources at an ever-increasing rate
and now have critical supply
problems. Our demands upon the
environment have significantly
changed the earth around us, and, if
we are to survive, we must live
within the constraints imposed by
nature.
Geologists study and
understand these constraints. They
must apply their knowledge to
achieve harmony between the human
race and its environment.
Geology has a broad scientific base
in mathematics, physics, biology and
chemistry as well as emphasizing
fundamentals of geologic science and
geophysics. Increases in the demand
for energy fuels and mineral
products result in an expansion of
opportunities for graduates in
Students contemplating
geology.
careers in geology should, upon
graduating, expect to travel, often to
remote and uninhabited areas. Most
of the jobs entail outdoor field work,
often under difficult conditions.
Other new fields are now requiring
geologists, such as NASA, EPA,
and companies and agencies involved
with environmental concerns. The
geological environment of Lake
Superior State University provides
unexcelled opportunities for field
study of classic sections illustrating
Precambrian stratigraphy, structure,
intrusions, and metamorphism and
undisturbed Paleozoic sedimentary
formations. Proximity to deposits of
iron, copper, uranium, dolomite and
the Michigan oil and gas fields as
well as other minerals is an
additional advantage. Students are
eligible to participate in the
department’s active research in
geology.
ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS:
To qualify for admission to the
program in geology, applicants must
satisfy University admission
requirements as described in the
Admissions section of the Catalog.
(This information is also included in
the Viewbook.)
Secondary school academic subjects
should include:
Three units of
English, two units of algebra, one
unit of geometry, and one unit of
chemistry and physics. One-half
unit of trigonometry is highly
recommended.
SCIENCE AND NATURAL RESOURCES • 244
�Completion of the program may
require more than four years for
students who do not meet all
entrance requirements.
For students with college-level
achievement, the opportunity will be
offered, by means of examination, to
obtain course credit or placement
into an advanced course.

�Welcome to a better tomorrow ...
Personal. Natural. Superior. - these
words characterize Lake Superior State
University.
Here you will find a student/faculty
ratio that fosters a personal education.
Faculty and staff interact with students
in and out of the classroom. You will
know your professors on a personal
basis and they will know you. It is one
of the many benefits of a smaller campus.
Lake State is a place of natural beauty.
Surrounded by lakes, rivers, forests and
the Canadian landscape, the campus is a
great place to live and learn. The air is
clean, the snow white, the sun bright
and the campus safe.
Superior describes our University as a whole. Outstanding academic programs and
professionals who are here to teach provide the foundation for your career. Excellent student life programs, great people, and a tremendous athletic program which
includes national championship-caliber hockey, make the Lake State experience
truly special. We have produced some of the best doctors, lawyers, teachers and other
professionals in the land.
Yes, Lake Superior State University is an exciting and vibrant place to be. You, too,
will soon be Lake State Proud!

Established in 1946 to address the
needs of returning World War II
veterans and to provide educational opportunities to the people
of the Eastern Upper Peninsula,
Lake Superior State University still
embodies the essence of the early
days. A personal education in a
safe and friendly environment
remains a hallmark of today's
LSSU.
Our beautiful 115-acre campus
overlooks the Michigan and
Ontario twin cities of Sault Ste.
Marie, the St. Mary's River, and the
world famous Soo Locks. The
school is located at the beginning
of Interstate 75 which ends in the
Florida Keys.
The campus served as Ft. Brady
starting in 1894 after the fort was
relocated from the banks of the St.
Mary's. The fort was deactivated in
1944 and, thanks to the efforts of
local volunteers and leadership at
Michigan College of Mining &
Technology in Houghton, opened
in the fall of that year as the Sault
Ste. Marie Residence Center of
MCMT.
The Sault Branch was rechristened
Lake Superior State College of
Michigan Technical University in
1966. Autonomy arrived for LSSC
in 1970. University status was
granted in 1987 to the state's
smallest public institution of
higher learning.Enrollment has
grown from the original class of
272 to more than 3,400 students.
There are 14 buildings on the
National Historic Register contributing to the University's sense of
tradition. This unique architectural
blend is a reminder of the "weapons to plowshares" history of the
setting.
Community: Sault Ste. Marie (pop.
18,000) is one of the oldest cities in
North America, having begun as a
fur trading center in the early 17th
century. A Jesuit mission was
established here in 1641, and
Father Marquette founded the first
permanent settlement 27 years
later, within the boundaries of
what was to become Michigan. The
Sault celebrated its 300th birthday
in 1968.
Our sister city, Sault Ste. Marie,
Ontario, is a cultural, recreational,
social and entertainment center.
The combined population of the
Twin Saults (101,000) allows for an
international flavor abounding
with the opportunities of a city,
and the safety and comfort of a
small town.

�Expectations
for Student Learning
Lake Superior State University
utilizes a Student Academic
Achievement Plan developed by
the faculty to meet the Assessment
Initiative of the commission on
Institutions of Higher Education,
North Central Association of
Colleges and Schools. The intent of
this plan is to document student
learning at Lake Superior State
University both in the major
program and across the general
education requirements. This
continuous evaluation process
works to assure high quality
teaching and effective student
learning: The faculty at Lake
Superior State University have
collectively agreed upon the
characteristics of the educated
person the institution hopes to
graduate and have identified
outcomes that can be used to
document these attributes. The
following are areas that the faculty
have deemed essential to a liberal
education and have value for the
students in their lives as responsible citizens: communication
skills, mathematics, computer
literacy, critical thinking, ethics,
aesthetics, cultural diversity, and
science and technology. Students
who complete the general education courses at Lake Superior State
University will be able to demonstrate attributes of the general
education outcomes.
Students attending Lake Superior
State University can expect commitment by the University to
document and enhance student
learning. Through the assessment
process, the University demonstrates its commitment to improving student learning and ensures
that when students graduate they
have attained specific attributes
and abilities.
Lake Superior State University
expects a commitment on the part
of its students to actively participate in the learning process.

�Academic Policies
Student
Classifications
0 to 25 credits = freshman
26 to 55 credits = sophomore
56 to 87 credits = junior
88+ =senior
Please familiarize yourself with the
academic policies described in this
catalog. They will help you obtain
your educational objectives.
Faculty advisors, staff and administration will also help you negotiate your way through these policies - seek their advice whenever
you have questions!
The Academic Year
Lake Superior State University
operates on a semester system.
There are two regular 15-week
semesters (fall and spring) which
begin in August or September and
end in April or May. The summer
semester consists of classes offered
in 4-, 8-, and 12- week sessions.
Starting and ending dates are listed
on page 316-317 of this catalog.
Academic Credit
One credit is earned after completing 15 hours of classroom instruction in lecture/ recitation courses.
For example, a three-credit course
might be scheduled 9-9:50 a.m.
Monday, Wednesday and Friday
for 15 weeks plus one week for
exams. Laboratory classes, field
work or other non-lecture classes
meet for more than one hour a
week per credit.
You should expect to spend two
hours of study or class preparation
for each hour spent in class.
Sixteen credits are the average load
of full-time students. A minimum
of 124 credits is required for all
baccalaureate degrees; a minimum
of 62 hours is required for an
associate' s degree.
Student Curriculum
Choice and Advising
When you apply for admission,
you are asked to declare a major.
The major you declare will deter-
mine which major department you
are in and the academic advisor
assigned to you. Please get to
know your advisor well and meet
with him/her often to get help in
class selection, degree progress and
career advice. You may change
your major curriculum by processing a Curriculum Change Card
through the Center for Student
Services (CSS). The CSS, Counseling Center and departmental
offices have the card and instructions. Curriculum change cards
must be filed with CSS for each
curriculum change.
If you are unsure of your major,
you will be assigned to the Liberal
Arts major and the advisor assigned to you will be a Liberal Arts
faculty member. The Learning
Center and the Counseling Center
can also provide you with major
advice and counseling.
If you are provisionally admitted
to Lake Superior State University,
an academic advisor from the
Learning Center is assigned. You
will keep this advisor until your
admission status changes and you
are admitted to your full-time
major program.
Semester Course
Selection
Before the end of each semester,
you must sign up for courses for
the next semester. One to two
weeks before scheduling, schedule
booklets listing the courses, times,
dates and locations will be available in departmental offices, the
Center for Student Services and
other locations around campus.
You need to pick up a schedule
booklet, read the instructions for
scheduling and meet with your
advisor to select courses for the
next semester.
Please read the schedule booklet
carefully as it has dates for scheduling according to class level, dates
10 • Lake Superior State University• 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2211
,._J
�for tuition payments, and information regarding prerequisites,
corequisites and other course
requirements.
Test Scores: When you apply for
admission, you will send your ACT
score to Lake Superior State
University. Your score determines
the level of English, math and
reading classes into which you will
be placed. If you have been out of
high school more than 26 months
and have not taken the ACT, you
can take placement tests at the
Testing/ Counseling Center at Lake
State to determine your placement
in English, math and reading.
Maximum credit load: You may
carry up to 20 credits per semester.
You may take more credits if you
have a 3.00 GPA or higher and
have written approval from the
dean of your school. Students on
academic probation should not
take more than 15 credits.
Prerequisites: Many courses
require that you complete English,
math, reading or other preliminary
classes before signing up to take
these courses. If you have not met
the prerequisite, you may be
dropped from the class during the
regular drop period with an N
grade or not allowed to sign up for
the class. Some courses require
that you earn a C or better in
prerequisite courses before scheduling for the next course. Exceptions may be made only by the
dean of your college or the instructor of the subsequent class.
Repeats: You may repeat a class to
bring up a grade and raise your
grade point average (GPA). However, you may not repeat a prerequisite course if you have successfully passed the subsequent course.
Again, exceptions may be made by
the dean of your college. Note:
You will not receive extra credits
for the repeated class but your GPA
will be affected. Only the grade of
the last attempt is calculated in
your GPA.
Drop/add period: You may change
your class schedule during the first
six (6) days of each semester.
Courses you drop during the
drop/ add period will not appear
on your permanent record. If a
course you wish to add is full, you
must get an instructor's signature
to schedule the course.
Your add or withdrawal from a
course is not officially complete
until the appropriate form is
completed in the Center for Student Services. It's a good idea to
retain the official receipt upon
completion of any add or drop.
Late adds: If you wish to add a
class after the six-day drop/ add
period, you must first get a Late
Add Form from the Center for
Student Services (CSS) and then
get the instructor's signature.
Return your Late Add Form to
CSS.
Non-attendance of the first class:
Your instructor may drop you from
a course if you do not attend or if
you do not call the instructor
before classes begin. The course
instructor will fill out a drop form
and notify you if you are dropped
from the course.
Dropping after the add/delete
period: You may drop a course
during the first 40 days of a full
semester (the last day to drop a
class is shown in the schedule book
and in the calendar of this book).
Your record will show an "N"
grade and your GPA will not be
affected.
To drop a class after the eight-week
drop requires extenuating circumstances, and you must get approval
from both your instructor and the
Center for Student Services. AW
grade will appear on your permanent record and will not affect your
GPA.
Class attendance: Regular class
attendance and active participation
in classes are important elements in
the learning process. You are at the
University primarily for the sake of
intellectual growth and development. Attendance and participation provide appropriate opportu-

You are personally responsible for
the satisfactory completion of the
course work prescribed by your
instructors. This means that you
are expected to attend classes
regularly, and that you are responsible for the work assigned in class,
the material covered in class and
for participation in class activities
(including discussion and listening) designed by the instructor as
part of the learning experience.
However, mere physical attendance should not be a criterion for
evaluation of your performance.
Participation in an official University function is an excused absence
when approved by the provost.
You will not be penalized for such
participation. You are responsible
for work missed and must confer
with your instructor on this matter.
Complete withdrawal: If you are a
full-time student and drop all of
your classes during the first eight
weeks of the semester, you may be
eligible for tuition refund. To
receive any refund, fill out a
Withdrawal Form at the Center for
Student Services. This office will
authorize your refund from the
Business Office. (Please check the
schedule book for the refund
policy.)
Before leaving, be sure you have
cleared any holds on your records
so you can return at a later date or
have transcripts of your academic
records sent out.
Grading System
Grade Point Average (GPA): To
calculate your GPA for a semester,
divide the total points earned by
the total credits carried. Credits
carried include those earned or
failed but not those classes taken
for credit/no credit. Cumulative
GPA is calculated by dividing total
points earned by the number of
credits carried in all semesters. If
you repeat a course, count only the
credits carried and the points of the
last grade earned. Just the grade of
your last attempt is calculated in
your GPA.
A cumulative GPA of 2.00 for all
credits is required for graduation.
Further, a 2.00 cumulative grade
point average for all credits in
major and minor(s) is required.
Some programs require a higher
GPA in the major curriculum.
Incomplete grades (I): To receive
an I grade in a course which you
can not complete, you must meet
with your instructor and work out
what you need to complete to
obtain a grade. You must make up
the work by the date specified by
the instructor which must be
within a maximum of two semesters in attendance or the incomplete grade becomes a failure.
Summer semesters count if you are
enrolled for classes during the
summer. Your instructor will
submit an I Form with the grade
sheets and you will receive a copy.
...J
....J
N and W grades: These grades are
given to those classes that you
have officially dropped N or
withdrawn W.
Z grade: Deferred grades are given
when the course work of a particular course extends beyond a single
semester.
Grade reports: Grades and credit
reports are mailed to your permanent home address after each
semester.
Grade change: You may request
your instructor to review and
change a grade within two semesters after completion. The instructor fills in and sends a Grade
Change Form to the Center for
Student Services.
Dean's List: By completing 12 or
more credits a semester with a
grade point average of 3.50 or
higher, you will earn Dean's List
honors which acknowledge
outstanding academic achievement.
Academic probation: This is a
warning that scholastic perfor-
12 • Lake Superior State University• 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2211

�mance is below the University's
minimum requirements. During
this probationary period, you will
be allowed to carry only up to 15
credits each semester (band and
recreational activities are not
included in the 15 credits).
1.
Academic probation is in effect
if your cumulative grade point
average is in the "on probation" category.
2.
If your cumulative GPA falls
into the dismissal range, you
will be dismissed.
3.
After a first or second dismissal, you have the following
options:

can be made to the provost,
whose decision is final.

5.
Students who continue after a
dismissal will be dismissed
again after any semester in
which their cumulative grade
point average falls in the
dismissal category. The
assistant to the provost for
academic records may allow
the student to continue "on
probation" with the record
showing "on probation"
instead of "dismissal", if the
student's record has shown
improvement during the
semester and the student has a

the University if their academic
progress, conduct or attitude
toward their work is deemed
unsatisfactory.
Credit/No Credit
Courses
You may enroll in some courses on
a credit/ no credit basis if you are
in good academic standing. The
following conditions exist:
1.
One course per semester may
be taken as credit/no credit.
2.
Only 12 credits of courses
taken as credit/ no credit may
be applied toward a degree.
Lake Superior State University• 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2211 • 13

Courses that are required by
your major, minor, or that are
general education courses, can
not be taken for credit/ no
credit.
4.
You apply at the Center for
Student Services to enroll for a
credit/no credit course during
the drop/ add period; cannot
change to regular grades after
the drop/ add period ends.
5.
You maintain a 2.00 C average
in a course to receive a CR
grade.
6.
Instructors are not notified that
you are taking a course as
credit/no credit; the CR or
NCR credit is assigned based
on the grade your instructor
submits.
Certain courses are always offered
with a credit/ no credit format.
These courses have this information in the official course description and course syllabi. The policy
and limitations outlined above do
not apply to these courses.
Cheating and
Plagiarism:
The assumption of the academic
contract is that the student does his
or her own work: any breach of
the contract is considered cheating.
The faculty member who detects a
student cheating may take appropriate action, such as assigning a
failing grade for the entire course.
A student who cheats is subject to
dismissal from the University. If,
in the opinion of the faculty
member involved, such action is
warranted, he or she will notify the
chairman of the Scholastic Standards Committee and the student
in writing. The Scholastic Standards Committee will then conduct
a hearing in such a manner that the
student is given due process. If the
committee decides that dismissal is
warranted, the student shall have
five school days to appeal that
decision to the provost of the
University.

There are three examination
processes you can take to earn
credit for individual courses or
general education requirements.

Transcripts
You may have an official copy of
your permanent records sent to
schools, companies and other
places or persons of your choice.
Send a written request with your
student ID number, name during
enrollment and dates of attendance

The Privacy Act
Section 438 of the General Education Provisions Act, as amended,
sets forth the requirements to be
met by an educational institution
to protect the privacy of students.
This act is called the Family
Educational Rights and Privacy Act
and shall be referred to hereafter as
the Act. The Act generally governs
access to student educational
records and the release of such
records. The Act also requires that
institutions of higher education
must provide students access to

�Equal Opportunity
Notice of Lake Superior State
University's policy of compliance with
federal and state law
Policy
The University is an equal opportunity employer and educator and
rohibits discrimination, including
arassment, on the basis of race,
color, national origin or ancestry,
gender, age, disability, religion,
height, weight, sexual preference,
marital status, or veteran status.
In carrying out this policy, the
University complies with all
federal and state laws and regulations prohibiting discrimination
including:
Executive Order 11246, the ElliottLarsen Civil Rights Act of 1976,
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of
1964, The Equal Pay Act of 1963,
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of
1964, as amended by the Equal
Employment Opportunity Act of
1972, and the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978, Title IX of the
Education Amendments of 1972,
Titles VII and VIII of the Public
Health Service Act, Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967,
Sections 503 and 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Veteran's
Assistance Act of 1972, and Title II
of the Americans with Disabilities
Act of 1990.
Sexual Harassment
The University is committed to a
policy of nondiscrimination on the
basis of gender. Discrimination
because of gender includes sexual
harassment, which means unwelcome sexual advances, requests for
sexual favors, and other verbal or
physical conduct or communication of a sexual nature when:
i.
Submission to such conduct or
communication is made a term
or condition either explicitly or
implicitly to obtain employment, public accommodations
or public services, education, or
housing;
ii. Submission to or rejection of
such conduct or communication by an individual is used as
a factor in decisions affecting
such individual's employment,
public accommodations or
public services, education, or
housing; or
Process
l.
iii. Such conduct or communication has the purpose or effect
of substantially interfering
with an individual's employment, public accommodations
or public services, education,
or housing environment.
The University is committed to the
protection of the rights of all
individuals and to the elimination
of barriers that would prevent
individuals from realizing their
highest potential of human excellence. Sexual harassment is a
particularly noxious form of
discrimination that interferes with
these goals and commitments, and
is difficult to combat due to the
intimidation and destruction of self
esteem of its victims.

individuals may discuss
concerns they may have
regarding possible discrimination or harassment to learn
what options are available.
3.
Nonretaliation: The University

retaliation against any individual, who, in good faith, has
registered a complaint under
this procedure. Any supervisor, agent, or employee of the
University who, after investigation, has been determined to
have retaliated against any
individual for using the
complaint procedure in this
policy, will be subject to
appropriate discipline up to
and including immediate
discharge. If an individual
believes he or she has been
retaliated against for exercising
his or her rights under this
policy, the individual should
use this complaint procedure.

your final year of high school.
Applications are processed continuously and you will be notified
of a decision within two weeks. To
complete your admission file you
must submit a final high school
transcript and ACT scores (if you
graduated from high school within
26 months of entering Lake State).
To be considered official, all
transcripts must be mailed from
your high school guidance office
directly to Lake Superior State
University.
Enter your social security number
on your Application for Admission. It serves as your permanent
student identification number. If
you do not wish to provide the
number, an alternate number will
be assigned. Financial aid applications will not be processed without
your social security number.
Canadian applicants should not
use their social insurance number.
An alternative number will be
assigned to Canadian and other
foreign students.
The primary factors in determining
admission are ACT* scores and
grade point average. Lake State
uses an overall grade point average
(GPA). The average overall GPA
for the 1997 freshman class was
2.88 on a scale of a 4.0. The average ACT composite score was a 20.
Students whose ACT or GPA levels
approach but do not meet LSSU
standards may be admitted via the
University Studies program.
University Studies is an arm of the
University College dedicated to
providing an educational opportunity to students who meet certain
profiles. Students who are admitted via University Studies receive
additional advising and support
services to ensure their success at
LSSU.
If you are admitted via University
Studies, you will be fully entered
into your chosen major after
meeting these three simple requirements:
*
earn 12 credits at the 100 level
or above,
*
earn a 2.00 GPA, and
*
be eligible for 100-level math,
reading and composition
courses.
..J
Students denied regular admission
may reapply after attending
another accredited college and
earning at least 19 semester (29
quarter) hours of transferable
credit. Evaluation for admission is
then based upon the college record.
*Although Lake State prefers you take
the ACT, we will accept equivalent
SAT scores to determine admission.
ACT
The ACT is offered nationally five
times a year at many locations
including our campus. Registration forms are available in high
school counseling offices or by
contacting the LSSU Counseling
and Testing Center at 906-6352733.
United States residents applying
for academic scholarships must
have their ACT scores sent prior to
the April 1 scholarship deadline.
Transfer Students
Transfer students must possess a
2.0 cumulative college GPA and be
eligible to return to your former
college(s). If you have completed
fewer than 19 semester (29 quarter)
hours of credit, you must send an
official high school transcript or
GED scores in addition to your
college transcript (and ACT scores
if you graduated from high school
within 26 months of the semester
of entry).
Contact the Registrar's Office or
high school guidance office to have
an official transcript mailed to our

�Admissions Office. Transcripts
sent via facsimile or hand delivered are not considered official. All
transcripts become the property of
Lake Superior State University and
are not returnable.
Your complete application should
be submitted at least 30 days prior
to the semester of entry. Transfer
students denied admission may
reapply after taking additional
courses that raise their overall GPA
to above a 2.0.
Credit Evaluations
Official evaluation of transfer
credit is made as quickly as possible after you are admitted. The
Admissions Office will help you
with an unofficial transcript review
at your request.
..,
If a course taken at another institution is not offered at Lake State,
elective credit may be granted for
that course. Elective credits may
be applied toward degree requirements but may not be used to
satisfy any specific course requirement.
D grades are transferred only
under the following conditions:
"
1.
a 2.00 or greater cumulative
GPA, or
2.
being granted unconditional
admission as a full-time
student.
Some academic departments do
not accept transferred D grades as
replacements for required courses.
In those cases, the departmental
major courses must be repeated.
Courses not accepted by a department may be applied as elective
credit where possible.
The Admissions Office completes
transfer credit evaluations. The
decision on courses and transfer
credit granted may be appealed
first to the academic dean and then
to the provost.
Provisional Credit
Credit earned at an institution not
listed in the American Council of
Education's publication, Accredited
Institutions of Post-Secondary
Education is granted provisionally.
You must complete at least 15
semester hours of credit with a
cumulative GPA of 2.00 at LSSU
before provisional credits will
become part of your permanent
record.
MACRAO Agreement
Michigan community college
students admitted to Lake State
who have the MACRAO stamp on
their transcript are recognized as
having completed the general
education requirements at Lake
State.
Residency
Requirement
There is no limit to the number of
transfer credits allowed from other
institutions. Bachelor's degree
candidates must earn at least 32 of
their final 40 credits and at least 50
percent of their departmental
required 300 / 400-level credits in

University College
Lake Superior State University has
a long-term commitment to the
academic and personal success of
all our students. The University
College serves three functions
which assure students can enroll in
and complete the relevant coursework and programs.
Access to higher education is
offered via the University Studies
program. Students from the
Eastern Upper Peninsula whose
academic background approaches,
but does not meet Lake State
admission standards, can get their
Lake Superior State University• 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2231 • 23
�start in higher education via the
University Studies program in the
University College. As a University Studies student you will be
assigned an academic advisor who
understands your situation. Your
advisor will work closely with you
to make sure you are enrolled in
appropriate courses.
The University College (UC)
provides academic support for the
entire campus. The UC operates
the Learning Center (described
below) as well as several other
tutoring and support programs.
Students enrolled in associate' s
degrees have access to the Office of
Student Accommodation and
Support Services, which provides
tutoring, advising and supplemental instruction.
Occupational education is the goal
for many students. They seek
workplace-relevant programs
designed to open the door to goodpaying technical positions. Such
programs also promote the economic growth of the entire community. The UC oversees the development and operation of academic
programs at the one- or two-year
level.
Learning Center
The Learning Center, located in the
KJS Library, offers academic
support services to all enrolled
students at LSSU, at all levels of
learning (freshman through
graduate). Tutoring and supplemental instruction (a.k.a. study
sessions) are available for may
preparatory, 100- and 200-level
courses across the disciplines. The
Learning Center's Writing Lab
tutors assist you with your writing
needs while the math lab tutors
help you overcome your math
frustrations. Seminars on topics
such as time management and
study skills are held each semester
to allow you to maximize your
academic performance. When you
visit the Learning Center, you will
find more than 30 state-of-the-art
computers equipped with tutorial
and instructional software for
many LSSU courses, as well as
various word processing programs,
tutorial video and audio libraries.
A book lending library and study
space are also available for your
use. The friendly staff will be
happy to assist you in reaching
your academic goals.
Office of Student
Support Services and
Accommodations
(OSASS)
OSASS provides two functions for
its students. If you are enrolled in
an associate's or certificate-level
program, you can contact this
office for assistance with coursework or help in selecting a career
path. The office provides these
supportive services through the
Carl Perkins Vocational Education
grant.
In addition, students who can
verify that they face a disabling
condition can receive a wide range
of services from OSASS. The staff
arrange for specialized testing,
note takers, scribes, taped texts and
a variety of other auxiliary aides
for students with disabilities.
Students should note that official
verification of a disabling condition must be on file before auxiliary aides and accommodations
can be provided. If you do have a
disabling condition, or if you think
you may have a condition such as a
learning disability, please contact
OSASS as soon as possible.
Former Students
Former full-time Lake State students who stop taking classes for
two semesters or more or attend
another college or university (not
including summer) must apply for
readmission before the semester of
re-entry. There is no application
fee. If you attended another
college since leaving Lake State,
you must submit official transcripts and meet Lake State's
transfer student admissions policy.
24 • Lake Supertor State University• 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2231
�Guest Students
Students enrolled at another
college or university may be
admitted to Lake State for one
semester as a guest student. An
extension of one additional semester may be granted for extenuating
circumstances. If you intend to
enroll full time for more than one
semester, you must submit an
Application for Admission as a
transfer student. Guest students
assume responsibility for determining if Lake State courses apply
to their program at the college from
which they intend to graduate.
Canadian Students
If you are an Ontario student
applying on the basis of high
school records, you are evaluated
on your ACT score and grade point
average for all A- and G-level
courses. Two grading scales are
used when evaluating Ontario
secondary school applicants (see
table). OAC and A-level courses
are considered more demanding
and their contents more appropriate preparation for university-level
courses. B- and W-level courses are
never included in the grade point
average.
Additional information for Ontario
secondary school students is
available in the Ontario Student
Handbook published by the
Admissions Office.
If you are a Canadian applicant
from a province other than Ontario, your application is evaluated
based on the education system in
your province.
If you completed grade 13 or OAC
courses before September 1990,
you will receive transfer credit at
the University for each course in
which your final mark was at least
a 60 percent. Transfer credit is not
given for any OAC courses taken
after September 1990. However,
completion of OAC courses
prepares some students to earn
credit through testing. (See section
titled "Credit by Examination").
Foreign Students
(Non-Canadian)
Applicants must satisfy entrance
requirements comparable to those
of United States students. All
credentials written in a language
other than English must be accompanied by certified English translations.
A notarized financial statement is
required before a Certificate of
Eligibility (Form I-20) will be
issued. This statement must
include the amount of money
available per year and the
source(s). Inclusion of false
information in the financial statement is grounds for dismissal.
Beyond the financial statement, the
student's sponsor or sponsoring
agency must provide a letter
assuming responsibility for all of
the student's educational and
living expenses while studying in
the United States. Foreign student
scholarships are not available, and
employment opportunities for
foreign students are restricted by
government regulations.
Applicants should not consider
themselves admitted to the University until they have provided all
documents required by the University and have received an official
letter granting admission. Following the letter granting admission,
the Form I-20 is sent, as required
by the U.S. Immigration and
Naturalization Service.
Foreign students are required to
purchase a health and accident
insurance policy for each year in
residence.

Proficiency
The Test of English as a Foreign
Language (TOEFL) is not a factor
in the admission decision. The

student's English proficiency.
English language proficiency is
required to take courses at the
University and may be satisfied in
any of three ways:
l.

Students not meeting Lake State's
English proficiency requirement
must enroll in English as a second

Part-time Enrollment
You may enroll as a part-time
student and take up to 11 credits
per semester in courses for which
you have sufficient academic
background. A part-time student
not seeking financial aid or a
degree or certificate does not have
to formally apply for admission.
As a non-admitted part-time
student, you are not assigned a
faculty advisor. You are encouraged to seek assistance in selecting
courses from the appropriate
academic schools.
Current high school students
should refer to the section regarding dual enrollment.
Tech Prep
The national tech prep movement
is supported at Lake State. As a
testimony of its institutional
support, grades earned in applied
high school science and mathematics courses contribute to the high
school GPA computed for university admission. Tech prep, with its
emphasis upon curricular integration between secondary and postsecondary educational institutions,
helps Lake State create a broader
array of educational options for
our students.
Lake Superior State University has
articulation agreements with area
high schools to enhance applied
and career educational opportunities at the post-secondary level. In
tandem with its regional secondary
education partners, Lake State has
created pathways to applied
education for specified curricula in
business and technology. University course credits count toward
degree requirements for high
school work if certain competendes are met. Check with your high
school guidance counselor or a
Lake State admissions officer to
verify whether a specific course
may apply.

credits) will be limited to a 13credit load (including reading
courses) until they successfully
comple their reading courses.
Transfer students without appropriate course work in English and
mathematics (see degree requirements) are also required to take
placement tests. Transfer students
may meet placement requirements
by their ACT scores if they submit
ACT scores to Lake State.
Credit by

dependents, may register as
residents.
10. Any dependent child of an
alumni parent who has earned
credit at Lake Superior State

Policy: Tuition/Fees
All tuition and fees are payable
according to established due dates.

a financial obligation are subject to
enrollment cancellation until all
amounts due the University are
paid or satisfactory arrangements
are made with the Business Office.
The director of the Student Service

obligation to the University.
Additionally, University services
will not be provided until financial
obligations are met. Registration is
not complete until fees are paid. A
check or draft returned to the

bank constitutes nonpayment and
results in cancellation of registration.
Auditing: The cost for auditing
courses is one-half the tuition
charged for credit courses plus
special course fees.
Michigan residents who are 60
years of age or older may audit
undergraduate courses compliments of LSSU.
There is no official record for
auditing classes.
Other courses: A few courses have
special fees. All registrations
(including payment of fees) must
be complete no later than six days
after the beginning of regular
instruction. Enrollment after the
six-day period has passed is
allowed, but not encouraged, with
special permission from the
director of the Student Service
Center.
Vehicles: If you park a motor
vehicle anywhere on campus, there
is an annual vehicle registration
fee. The fee is refunded only under
certain conditions.
Credit by exam: Credit by departmental examination is available to
full-time students. If a 2.00 or
better is scored, the credit is
recorded on your transcript. The
fee charged is equivalent to CLEP
exams and there is no tuition
charged for credits earned.
Withdrawal: Should you need to
withdraw from the University, you
must complete a Withdrawal Form
to initiate a refund. The form is
available from the Student Service
Center. Authorized refunds apply
only to tuition and special course
fees. If you are on approved
University financial aid, or aid
through other agencies that mandate recovery of financial assistance, refunds are in accordance
with their requirements. You

to meet educational expenses.
Students may borrow up to $3,000
for each year of undergraduate
study. The maximum debt for
undergraduates is $15,000. The
amount awarded by the University
is generally less due to limited
funds.
Repayment begins nine months
after students graduate or leave
school for other reasons. There is a
10-year pay back period, at five
percent interest on the unpaid
balance of the loan principal.
The amount of the repayment
depends on the size of the debt and
ability to pay. In most cases,
students must pay at least $40 a
month. Any agreement for a lesser
amount must be attributable to
extraordinary circumstances such
as prolonged unemployment.
Default: If a student defaults on a
Perkins Loan and the school is
unable to collect, the federal
government will take action to
recover the loan. In cases of
bankruptcy, total or permanent
disability or death, loan obligations
are canceled.

apply.
52 • Lake Superior State University• 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2273
-
�If you are unmarried and/ or a
nonveteran enrolled in 12 hours or
more and are within 27 calendar
months of your high school graduation, you must reside in a University residence hall.
High school graduation dates are
assumed to be June 1 for this
purpose. The exceptions are:
1.
2.
3.
If you live with your parents
within a 60-mile radius or the
three-county (Chippewa, Luce
and Mackinac) service area of
the University. An exception
application is available in the
Housing Office and must be
approved by the Housing
director.
If you are exempted in writing
by the Housing director when
residence hall space is filled.
If you have unusual financial
or health problems. Permission must be granted by the
vice president for Student
Programs and Services.
The University reserves the right to
assign all students within the
residence halls. Housing preferences are considered according to
the dates of receipt of application.
Freshmen are usually accorded
priority in residence hall assignments and upperclassmen hold
priority in apartment assignments.
;
The University recognizes that
exceptions to these policies may
arise. Requests for permission to
live off-campus will be considered
by the vice president for student
programs and services, who shall
apply the following criteria to a
request to live off campus for
financial reasons:
"Financial hardship" is a situation
in which the total resources of the
student and family added to the
total financial aid available from
the University does not equal the
dollar amount budgeted by the
Financial Aid Office as the minimum required for on-campus
residency. In such a situation, there
are two alternatives: a) withdrawal
from the dormitory orb) with-
drawal from the University. An
example is a student whose
financial situation changed suddenly during the year (perhaps due
to the death of a parent) and who
applies for assistance after the aid
program is depleted.
A number of student campus
apartments in the Student Village
and Townhouses are available.
Married students or groups of
single students desiring these
accommodations should contact
the Housing director.
The University reserves the right to
transfer students to the Townhouses or the Student Village

Student-Faculty
Relations Committee
(Appeals)
Function. The Student-Faculty
Relations Committee provides a
forum for resolving conflicts
between students and faculty
members which may arise with
classroom or course-related activities, policies or procedures. The
committee will not consider cases
involving ADA compliance or any
other matter it deems inappropriate. This committee is strictly an
informal mediation body which
will forward recommendations for
resolution to the parties involved
(with a copy to the executive vice
president and provost).
Membership. The University
president appoints the committee
membership to two-year terms.
There are four faculty representatives (at least one from each
college) and four student representatives. The chair is chosen by the
committee membership.
Procedures
1.
If a student (or group of
students) wishes to raise an
issue related to a course which
he/ she is taking or has taken
(normally within one semester), the student should attempt to resolve the issue at
the student/ faculty, department head or appropriate
college dean level. If the
matter cannot be resolved at
the lowest possible levels, the
student may appeal to the
Student-Faculty Relations
committee informing them of
the problem. In exceptional
cases, the student may approach the Student-Faculty
Relations Committee directly.
2.
To bring an issue before the
Student-Faculty Relations
committee, the student must
notify the Student-Faculty
Relations Committee in
writing. This document must
clearly explain the situation
and include the student's
name, current address, a
message telephone number
and times when the student is
available to meet with the
committee. Supporting
documentation may be included as well. The written
appeal should be submitted
directly to the committee chair.
The Executive Vice President
and Provost's Office will know
Lake Superior State University• 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2273 • 55
�the name of the committee
chair.
3.
Once the committee members
have had an opportunity to
review the student's concern,
they will conduct an informal
fact-finding process. As a part
of the process, the student will
be invited to meet with the
committee for further clarification. This meeting will be 20
minutes in length with 10
minutes of question and
answer by the committee. The
other party will also be invited
to meet with the committee
following the same format.
Both parties will then be asked
to meet together with the
committee in an effort to foster
communication, clarification
and resolution. The most
desirable arrangement would
be for this step to occur at one
setting. The committee will
strive to be as expeditious as
possible. There may be extenuating circumstances such as
semester break or summer
recess.
4. If there is no resolution after
this joint meeting of the parties
involved, or if the outcome of
this process is not acceptable to
the student or the faculty
member, he/ she may appeal to
the executive vice president
and provost of the University.
...J
5. The committee will keep no
permanent records.

Continuing Education provides
educational opportunities for nontraditional students in LSSU' s
service region. In cooperation with
academic departments, we create
opportunities to meet the educational needs of adult students
through alternative delivery
options such as distance learning,
flexible schedules, off-campus
degree programs and weekend
courses. Continuing Education
provides a focus for external and
off-campus degree programs,
continuing education, evening and
weekend courses and public
service programs. All are flexible
and accessible to learners whose
job, family and community responsibilities conflict with traditional
academic schedules. Continuing
Education also administers LSSU' s
summer session.
Regional centers are located at
Alpena Community College in
Alpena, Bay de Noc Community
College in Escanaba, North Central
Michigan College in Petoskey and
Northwestern Michigan College in
Traverse City. Students may earn a
master of business administration
(MBA) and bachelor of science
degrees in business administration,
accounting, nursing (BSN completion program for registered
nurses), criminal justice/ generalists and engineering management.
All degree completion requirements may be completed at the offcampus sites. Courses are offered
evenings and weekends on a parttime basis. The time required to
complete the degree varies according to each student's individual
schedule and the number of college
credits already completed.
The Continuing Education Office
offers professional development
opportunities through non-credit
courses, seminars, workshops,
interactive television and video
conferences. Downlink satellite
capabilities are also available.
In addition, CE provides training

�Graduation Procedures
Degree candidacy procedure: Two
semesters before students plan to
complete degree requirements and
graduate, they must submit an
appropriate departmental degree
audit for each major and minor,
and a Declaration of Candidacy for
Degree to the assistant to the
provost in the Academic Records
Office. The necessary forms are
available at the student's major
departmental office.
The departmental Degree Audit for
a student's major or minor specifies all required courses that have
been or must be completed. The
audit must be signed by the school
chair and/ or dean of the college
offering the major or minor program. Course substitutions and
waivers of departmental degree
program requirements may be
granted only by the dean of the
college offering the major or minor
program. Exceptions to specific
general education requirements
may be granted only by the Scholastic Standards Committee. Such
exceptions are infrequently made.
A petition for exceptions to general
education requirements is initiated
with the assistant to the provost.
The assistant to the provost checks
students' Degree Audits, after
which a preliminary verification of
the Degree Audit is sent to each
student and respective school chair.
Students are responsible for
examining this verification and
requesting clarification of anything
that is not consistent with their
records or understanding.
From the Declaration of Candidacy
for Degree forms submitted by
students, a potential graduate list
is created for each semester.
Names for the commencement
program and diploma will be the
official, legal name as listed in the
records of the University. The
names of students who are listed in
the annual commencement program are also compiled from
Declaration of Candidacy for
Degree forms. Students may not
be listed in the commencement
program unless their Degree
Candidacy Form is filed with the
assistant to the provost six weeks
prior to commencement. Students
are expected to attend commencement exercises unless excused by
the assistant to the provost. Students completing degree requirements during the summer may
participate in commencement the
previous semester if their degree
candidacy form is received six
weeks prior to commencement.
After grades are received at the
end of each semester, Degree
Audits will be updated for all
students completing credit and
who have a Degree Candidacy
Form on file. When all requirements specified on the Degree
Audit are fulfilled, the college dean
and/ or school chair and assistant
to the provost give a final approval. Names of these graduates
are then sent to the president for
approval by the Board of Trustees.
Subsequently, a diploma is provided to each student.
Diploma charge: There is no
charge for the first diploma from
the University. A fee is charged for
replacement diplomas.
Students completing graduation
requirements in the fall semester or
summer, or who otherwise need
documentation of completion
before their diploma is available,
will receive a letter certifying that
they have completed degree
requirements. Additionally, official
University transcripts will be sent
to any employer, graduate university, or elsewhere, as requested by
the graduate. Official transcripts
will not be mailed to students.
Graduation with honors: Honors
graduates must earn at least 32
credits at Lake State. All credits
with grade points completed at
Lake Superior State University• 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2012 • 65
�other colleges (percentages are
converted to letter grades) will be
figured in computing grade point
averages for honors diplomas and
medallions at LSSU.
Students who earn 3.50 to 3.69 will
graduate cum laude; 3.70 to 3.89,
magna cum laude; 3.90 to 4.00,
summa cum laude. Honors earned
shall not be higher than those for
which a student qualifies on basis
of courses taken at LSSU.
Graduation diplomas with honors
will be awarded to baccalaureate
and associate' s and certificate
recipients. Honors medallions will
be awarded only to baccalaureate
and associate' s degree recipients
who graduate summa cum laude.
Honors Degree
The University honors program
offers highly motivated students
the opportunity to develop their
abilities and skills in exciting and
innovative ways. The central goal
of the University honors program
is to create a community of scholars characterized by strong student-faculty interaction around the
world of ideas. The honors program fosters an approach to
education that incorporates the
qualities of active participation,
intellectual curiosity and an
interdisciplinary focus.
Selection is based upon a number
of factors, including: ACT scores,
high school grade point average,
application essay, personal interview and Lake State faculty
nomination. Students invited to
participate in the program enroll in
courses designated for honors
credit. The courses are distributed
among the requirements for
general education, the student's
major, and the University honors
program and may include small
seminars or independent research
projects.
To graduate with an honors degree
in a program of study, the honors
student must have formal acceptance into the University honors
program and have successfully
completed 21 honors credit hours
with an overall grade point average of 3.5 or better at graduation.
The 21 honors credit hours are to
be distributed among the
University's requirements for
general education, the student's
major and the University honors
program.
Upon graduation from the honors
program, the student will receive
an honors degree in his /her
program of study. The honors
degree designation is indicated on
the student's diploma and is
distinct from graduating with
honors (see Graduation with
Honors).

Program Description:
Career Description:
The legal assistant profession is
one of the occupations projected to
grow the fastest through the year
2005 according to the U.S. Department of Labor. A legal assistant (or
paralegal) is a valued member of
the legal team and works under the
supervision of attorneys.
Litigation Legal Assistant conducts research; drafts legal
pleadings and documents; interviews clients and witnesses;
investigates, gathers and organizes
case information; assists at trial.
This program is designed to train
qualified legal assistants capable of
working in a variety of areas of the
law and in a variety of work
environments. Consequently, the
role and job duties of a legal .
assistant vary depending on the
areas of law and work environment in which a legal assistant is
employed. Such diversity, varied
challenges, and employment
possibilities are what makes the
legal assistant profession so
interesting and rewarding.
There are four different degrees or
offerings in legal assistant studies.

assistant studies with an emphasis
in legal administration, criminal

legal assistant studies; (3) a postbaccalaureate (one-year) certificate
in legal assistant studies (which is
available to students who already
have a bachelor's degree in some
other discipline and wish to make
a career change or advancement);
or (4) a minor in legal assistant
studies which can complement
various majors (and may also be
helpful to students who are planning on attending law school). The
requirements for these programs
are based upon the guidelines of
the National Association of Legal
Assistants.
Corporate Legal Assistant drafts and/ or analyzes various
legal documents; attends meetings,
negotiations or closings; performs
legal and factual research; monitors
compliance with applicable industry regulations; assists attorneys
with preparation for collective
bargaining, contract negotiations,
administrative hearings or trials.
Criminal Law Legal Assistant conducts comprehensive interviews of defendants, law enforce- .
ment, victims, and/ or witnesses;
performs case and field investigations; locates and coordinates
usage of applicable experts;
prepares motions, briefs or other
legal documents; acts as a litigation
assistant during trial and any appeal.
Governmental Legal Assistant works as an immigration specialist;
civil rights analyst; environmental
protection specialist; mediation
specialist; legislative analyst;
workers compensation claims
examiner, etc. (even the White
House has employed legal assistants).
Real Estate Legal Assistant conducts title searches; drafts real
estate closing documents; monitors
compliance with title, survey,
disclosure and/ or regulatory
requirements; schedules and

Three-Year Degree
fora BS in CJ
following the
NRTDegree
Bachelor of Science
See Department of
Biology
Students with a particular interest in state and
federal laws enacted to protect our natural
resources and federal restrictions on the use of
our renewable resources should consider
obtaining both an associate's degree in natural
resources technology (two years) and a bachelor
of science degree in criminal justice (three
additional years). The NRT degree will provide
the student with a good general background in
natural resources and the criminal justice degree
will allow the student to be fully qualified for
many different law enforcement opportunities.
Jobs for conservation law officers are limited,
but the above configuration of degrees prepares
a student to be highly competitive for openings
that do occur. Students selecting this course of
study should work closely with their advisor in
order to complete both degrees in the five-year
span . After completing the two-year NRT
associate's degree, students would complete the
following seQuence of courses. This plan
assumes MLEOTC certification and 91 additional
hours following the NRT degree.

Program Description:
Career Descriptions:
Environmental chemists seek to
understand and address environmental problems within the context
of chemical systems. While
environmental chemistry is truly
an interdisciplinary field, the
particular emphasis on examining
natural systems through chemistry
and chemical analysis focuses the
graduate more firmly within the
physical sciences. Key features of
this program include coursework
on environmental impact assessment, air and water chemistry. By
seeking solutions for such chemically based environmental problems as water pollution, hazardous
wastes, and acid rain, environmental chemists help ensure a safe,
healthful environment for all living
things.
Environmental Chemist - collects
and analyzes samples; develops
remediation programs, changing
production processes to reduce
environmental impact; advises on
safety and emergency response.
The secondary teaching major,
environmental chemistry/ secondary education, combines a major in
chemistry with an interdisciplinary
minor in the natural sciences to
prepare science teachers at the
junior and senior high school level.
Students combine a strong concern
and background in environmental
issues and solutions, with an
interest in a career as a secondary
teacher. Students complete requirements for a chemistry major with
the interdisciplinary group science
(DX endorsement) minor, leading
to teacher certification which
enables you to teach all science
subjects grades 7-12. Teacher
education programs at LSSU
include a full fifth year teaching
internship. Contact the Teacher
Education Department for additional information
Environmental Field Technician
- responsible for groundwater
sampling, soil sampling and other
field efforts.
Field Chemist - supervises field
technicians; packages chemicals for
transportation and disposal; loads
and unloads supply trucks. Customer relation skills are essential.
Physical Science Technician performs technical procedures
related to chemical analyses of
plant and animal tissues, soils,
sediments and waters for environmental contaminant, including
sample receipt, storage, homogenization, extraction, cleanup, digestion analysis, and reporting.
Physical or Biological Scientist
(Research) - assists policy development/ coordination with other
bureaus/ government agencies;
coordinates research activities and
development of solutions to
extremely complex, obscure and
critical problems.
Laboratory Chemist - has knowledge of EPA methods for volatile,
semi-volatile analysis and metals;
instrument proficiency, with
instrument troubleshooting a plus;

Career Description:
This Fine Arts Studies program is
an integrated, bi-national program
offered by a three-member consor~
tium situated in Sault Ste. Marie:
Algoma University, Lake Superior
State University, and Sault College
of Applied Arts and Technology.
The program is designed and
administered in such a way as to
serve the region as a whole, to
reflect the uniqueness of our
northern heritage, to be international in scope and to integrate
courses of study at both the college
and university levels.
This degree will prepare you for
further studies in professional
schools specializing in fine arts
training; for employment in the
rapidly expanding arts, entertainment and communication industries; or to apply your enhanced
talents as working artists.
The fine arts degree is for students
who have wide-ranging interests in
fine arts, and who wish to explore
and express their potential through
following a personalized course of
study. While students will invariably participate in a broad range of
courses, they must select two main
areas of focus (concentrations) from
the following six: advertising art
and graphic design, music, native
arts and culture, theater, visual arts
and writing.
Fine arts have been an important
aspect of the human experience
since first recorded history; from
African cave paintings to Greek
dramas, from Beethoven symphonies to the writings of Canadian
playwrights. From the study of fine
arts we can gain an understanding
of various cultures through their
own indigenous means of expression. Furthermore, we can deepen
our understanding of our own
culture by participation in various
contemporary art forms (drama,
music, painting, writing etc.). Most
important, by exploring our own
creative potential, we can develop
a better understanding of ourselves.
Fine Arts Professional -prepares
you for working as a managing
director of a department of music,
arts, theater or performance.
Teacher of Fine Arts - develops
courses, maintains studios and
supplies, teaches in elementary or
secondary education fields or
community theaters.

Program Description:
Career Description:
Geology deals with the dynamic
Earth and its physical, chemical
and biologic history. It involves
the study of changes that are
taking and have taken place and
the forces that cause these changes.
For example, geologists interpret
the movements of the continents
over geologic time and the formation of mountains, volcanoes and
other features of the Earth's
surface. Geologists attempt to
understand our physical environment from which we derive most
of the natural resources essential to
civilization. They investigate the
processes that led to the formation
of mineral deposits, and oil, gas
and coal. They also study environmental change throughout the
history of the Earth and how that
change and the development of life
are related. Geologists attempt to
predict natural disasters such as
earthquakes, volcanic eruptions,
and landslides, and they are very
active in modeling groundwater
flow to develop water reserves for

Program Description:
Career Description:
Manufacturing engineering
technology (MfgET) is a multidisciplinary field that integrates
knowledge from areas of study
such as science, math, computers,
mechanical engineering, electronics
engineering, management and
economics. MfgET is a profession
that gives you the expertise to
develop tools, processes, machines
and equipment to make quality
products at a reasonable cost. The
profession also involves working
with and coordination of people
from several other fields.
Whether it be a single gear or a
complete automobile engine, the
complete set of events that results
in a finished product is planned
and implemented by a manufacturing engineer. Once you graduate
from LSSU, you will have many
manufacturing career choices
ranging from applied technical
research to management of systems
and personnel. Typical graduates
have obtained engineering and
technology positions in design of
automated manufacturing systems,
computer-aided design and
manufacturing, qualify control,
robotics applications, automotive
component manufacturing, design
of manufacturing processes and
equipment, maintenance, sales and
management of manufacturing
systems. Some graduates have also
transferred to graduate schools to
pursue master's and doctoral
degrees.
The B.S. degree program in MfgET
at LSSU is accredited nationally by
Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for
Engineering and Technology, 111
Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, Maryland 21202 - Telephone: (410) 347-7700.
In addition to providing a strong
background in the fundamentals of
manufacturing engineering technology, the program places an
emphasis in the application of
computer systems to modem
manufacturing. This includes
topics such as robotics, computeraided design (CAD), programmable logic controllers (PLC), and
computer-aided manufacturing
(CAM). The classes and labs in the
curriculum average about 15
students and are taught by faculty
who are dedicated to undergraduate teaching excellence.
A scientific "high technology"
basis in the field of manufacturing
engineering technology is evolving. The MfgET program is
designed to place LSSU graduates
at the leading edge of this evolution.

Career Description:
Mathematics:
Operations Research Analyst helps organizations operate as
efficiently as possible through the
application of mathematical principles to organizational problems.
Many who major in the field of
mathematics combine those studies
with education courses and obtain
employment as teachers. People
with mathematics degrees are
found in a broad range of occupations where quantitative skills are
needed; one of the largest employers of mathematics is the National
Security Agency. Often a minor
field of study (such as computer
science) provides the supporting
credential for entry-level jobs.
Actuarial and Business Applications:
The actuarial and business applications option combines mathematical knowledge with quantitative
business applications. The result is
a very marketable degree that
provides many exciting career
opportunities for graduates. A
student should be prepared to take
the first actuarial examination in
the spring of his /her junior year
and the second examination the
following spring. A student choosing this emphasis will complete a
minor in accounting-finance.
Teaching degrees - a completion
of a fifth year internship and
graduate course work qualifies you
for elementary or secondary
teacher certification in Michigan
and Ontario, as well as reciprocity
with several other states.
Graduate school - an undergraduate mathematics major with
emphasis on abstraction, together
with an analytical approach to
problem solving, continues to
provide strong preparation for
graduate work in diverse fields especially when combined with a
minor in the related field.
Statistician - government
agencies such as the Bureau of
Labor employ statisticians to
monitor the consumer price index,
employment statistics and the like.
Industries use statisticians in their
efforts to forecast future needs, to
implement quality control, and to
design information-gathering
strategies.
Research Scientist - mathematicians are sometimes needed as
members of a multi-discipline
research team, responsible for
creating a mathematical model of a
real-world process or context, which
then is used to help solve problems
of interest to the team's efforts.
Actuary - assembles and analyzes
statistics to calculate probabilities
of sickness, death, injury, disability,
retirement, property loss and
unemployment for insurance
companies.
School Administrator or Counselor - a valid teaching certificate
and teaching experience are
prerequisites. Further course work
and separate certification are also
required.
Educational Consultant or Trainer
- trains personnel in industry on
new procedures and/ or equipment
needed.

Bachelor of Arts or
Bachelor of Science
The general political science concentration is
designed to provide a broad education in political
science. It is most appropriate for students who
plan to attend graduate school in political
science and for those with an interest in
government and politics who wish to get a
broad, liberal education. Students who continue
their education in graduate school most often
pursue careers as professors, researchers,
consultants or government officials. Students
who do not pursue graduate study choose from
a wide variety of career options in government,

The public administration concentration is most
appropriate for students who plan to work in an
administrative capacity in public agencies or
nonprofit organizations with public missions.
Students who choose this option are preparing
for careers of public service. Such careers may
be pursued through positions in government
agencies at the local, state or provincial, and
national levels. Other positions may be found in
nonprofit organizations involved in public
concerns, such as Common Cause, the
Environmental Defense Fund, and the Michigan
Health Council. Some of these careers of public
service may be pursued with only a bachelor's
degree. Others may require completion of a
master's degree in public administration or a
related field.

�Pre-Pharmacy (transfer program)
See College of Natural
and Health Sciences, page 245.
Program Description:
Career Description:
Most pharmacy schools require
students to take two years of prepharmacy preparation prior to
being admitted to their professional program. Admission into
the professional pharmacy programs is very competitive and is
based, to a large extent, on grades
in specific required courses. Many
pharmacy colleges also require
applicants to take the Pharmacy
College Admission Test (P.C.A.T.).
This exam is generally taken midway through your second prepharmacy year.
Community Pharmacist - practices in local pharmacies, professional health centers, hospitals,
nursing homes or neighborhood
health centers.
Pre-pharmacy requirements vary
greatly between different colleges
that offer professional programs in
pharmacy. In general, most require
a pre-pharmacy program that
emphasizes math and science as
well as strong communication
skills. Recently, a majority of the
nation's schools began to move
toward awarding the doctor of
pharmacy (Pharm.D.) as the only
professional degree in pharmacy.
Because many pharmacy curricula
are currently being modified, prepharmacy requirements are also
subject to change.
The modifications in professional
pharmacy curricula, combined
with the variability in pre-pharmacy requirements, make it
imperative for a pre-pharmacy
student to determine the requirements for admission at the schools
he or she desires to attend. A prepharmacy curriculum at Lake
Superior State University can then
be designed to help you obtain
your goals. It is your responsibility
to contact the directors of admissions at the pharmacy schools to
which you are planning to apply so
you can remain informed of their
most recent requirements for
admission.
Government Supervisory Posts USPHS, USDA, DVAemploy
pharmacists for technical writing,
science reporting, directing manufacturing firms or overseeing
cultivation of medicinal plants.
Research Pharmacist - within the
pharmaceutical industry, conduct
research to develop prescription
and non-prescription drugs and
other health products.
University Faculty- teach
students, conduct research, act as
consultants for local, state, national
and international agencies and
organization.

Program Description:
Career Description:
The legal assistant profession is
one of the occupations projected to
grow the fastest through the year
2005 according to the U.S. Department of Labor. A legal assistant (or
paralegal) is a valued member of
the legal team and works under the
supervision of attorneys.
Litigation Legal Assistant conducts legal, factual and computerized research; drafts legal
pleadings and documents; interviews clients and witnesses;
investigates, gathers and organizes
case information; assists aJ trial.
This program is designed to train
qualified legal assistants capable of
working in a variety of areas of the
law and in a variety of work
environments. Consequently, the
role and job duties of a legal
assistant vary depending on the
areas of law and work environment in which a legal assistant is
employed. Such diversity, varied
challenges, and employment
possibilities are what makes the
legal assistant profession so
interesting and rewarding.
There are four different degrees or
offerings in legal assistant studies.
They are as follows: (1) a four-year
baccalaureate degree in legal
assistant studies with an emphasis
in legal administration, criminal
law, personal injury, labor law,
legislative/ constitutional law or a
selected minor as approved by the
legal assistant studies coordinator;
(2) a two-year associate's degree in
legal assistant studies; (3) a postbaccalaureate (one-year) certificate
in legal assistant studies (which is
available to students who already
have a bachelor's degree in some
other discipline and wish to make
a career change or advancement);
or (4) a minor in legal assistant
studies which can complement
various majors (and may also be
helpful to students who are planning on attending law school). The
requirements for these programs
are based upon the guidelines of
the National Association of Legal
Assistants.
Corporate Legal Assistant - drafts
and/ or analyzes various legal
documents; attends meetings,
negotiations or closings; performs
legal and factual research; monitors
compliance with applicable industry regulations; assists attorneys
with preparation for collective
bargaining, contract negotiations,
administrative hearings or trials.
Criminal Law Legal Assistant conducts comprehensive interviews of defendants,· law enforcement, victims, and/ or witnesses;
performs case and field investigations; locates and coordinates
usage of applicable experts;
prepares motions, briefs or other
legal documents; acts as a litigation
assistant during trial and any appeal.
Governmental Legal Assistant works as an immigration specialist;
civil rights analyst; environmental
protection specialist; mediation
specialist; legislative analyst;
workers compensation claims
examiner, etc. (even the White
House has employed legal assistants).
Real Estate Legal Assistant conducts title searches; drafts real
estate closing documents; monitors
compliance with title, survey,
disclosure and/ or regulatory
requirements; schedules and
participates in real estate closings.
Note: The above career descriptions are
only a sampling of the numerous
avenues available to legal assistants.

Program Description:
Career Description:
Natural resources technology
courses stress the acquisition of
field skills necessary for success as
a natural resource technician as
well as the theoretical foundations
for these skills. This practical
knowledge is enriched by course
materials which emphasize communication skills as well as the
links between society, economics,
policy and the natural resource
base. This program can be taken as
a stand alone two-year program,
can constitute the first half of the
bachelor of science in parks and
recreation management, or it can
be used in conjunction with a
three-year criminal justice program
to prepare a student for a career in
conservation law. The natural
resource technology program can
also serve as a convenient stepping
stone into the Fisheries & Wildlife
program.
Natural Resource Technician Forestry, wildlife, fisheries and
park technicians are responsible for
data collection and other hands-on
work in either the public or private
sector.
All natural resource technology
students are strongly encouraged
to participate in at least one
summer's worth of work or volunteer experience in the natural
resource field to gain the professional experience and contacts they
will need to begin their careers.
Continuing education to
bachelor's degree program - The
high degree of competition in the
natural resource field makes the
pursuit of a bachelor's degree
highly desirable. Programs which
join well with the NRT degree are
the parks and recreation management degree, the fisheries &
wildlife degree and the 2+3 criminal justice degree programs. These
programs lead to careers such as
conservation officer, park naturalist, expedition leader, guide or
recreation specialist.

Native Studies of the
Americas
Minimum Credits Required

The Native Studies of the Americas minor
is designed to provide valuable historical
and contemporary information about
Native culture and society. The courses in
the Native Studies of the Americas minor
reflect the Native experience throughout
North and South America, but focus on
issues of importance to Native peoples in
the Great Lakes region.
The Native Studies of the Americas minor
is appropriate for students majoring in a
wide variety of subjects who may or may
not be Native themselves, but expect to
work in a Native setting or in an area with
a high Native population. Students who
are simply interested in and wish to explore
the Native cultures in our area will also
benefit from this program.

Legal Assistant
(Paralegal) Profession:
Legal Assistant Program
Offerings:
The legal assistant profession is
one of the occupations projected to
grow the fastest through the year
2005 according to the U.S. Department of Labor. A legal assistant (or
paralegal) is a valued member of
the legal team and works under the
supervision of attorneys. The legal
assistant profession is both challenging and offers many career
advancement opportunities.
There are four different degrees or
offerings in legal assistant studies.
They are as follows:
This program is designed to train
qualified legal assistants capable of
working in a variety of work
environments. Consequently, the
role and job duties of a legal
assistant vary depending on the
areas of law and work environment in which a legal assistant is
employed. Such diversity, varied
challenges and employment
possibilities are what makes the
legal assistant profession so
interesting and rewarding. For
instance, legal assistants are
employed in law firms; corporations; financial institutions; government (federal, tribal, state or local);
courts and mediation systems; real
estate offices and title companies;
insurance companies; special
interest groups; prosecutor and
public defender offices; educational institutions; financial service
organizations; credit and collection
agencies; and service, consulting or
publishing companies.
1.
a four-year baccalaureate
degree in legal assistant
studies with an emphasis in
legal administration, criminal
law, personal injury, labor law,
legislative/ constitutional law
or a selected minor as approved by the legal assistant
studies coordinator;
2.
a two-year associate' s degree
in legal assistant studies;
3.
a post-baccalaureate (one-year)
certificate in legal assistant
studies (which is available to
students who already have a
bachelor's degree in some
other discipline and wish to
make a career change or
advancement); or
4.
a minor in legal assistant
studies which can complement
various majors (and may also
be helpful to students who are
planning on' attending law
school).
For further information on each of
these programs, please see the
appropriate curriculum descripti.on pages in this Catalog.

The Political Science
Program:
LSSU' s innovative political science
program is designed to contribute
leaders who will help meet the
challenges of the 21st century. The
program provides students with
both a broad liberal arts education
and the important skills they need
to begin a career or pursue additional education.

Student Organization:
The Political Science Club is a
nonpartisan student organization
that promotes discussion and
understanding of current political
issues. The club sponsors speakers, arranges debates between
political candidates, hosts student
forums with the University president ("Pizza with the President"),
participates in debates with
students from Algoma University
College in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario
("CanAm Debates"), sponsors
voter registration and get-out-thevote drives, and participates in a
variety of other activities related to
contemporary politics. Membership is open to all LSSU students.
Since students of political science
follow diverse career paths,
political science majors at LSSU
choose from one of three tracks or
concentrations: general political
science, pre-law, and public administration. Each concentration provides a combination of knowledge
and skills uniquely appropriate for
those with particular career goals.
Internships - which involve
supervised practical work experience in an off-campus location are available and encouraged.
Internships may be carried out
with local, state (or provincial) or
federal agencies in the Sault Ste.
Marie area. Other internship
opportunities are available in
Washington, Lansing, Toronto and
Ottawa. One of the most exciting
of these opportunities is the
Washington Semester Program, a
cooperative arrangement with
American University in Washington, D.C. Students selected to
participate in this program spend a
semester taking classes and working in Washington.
One of the innovative features of
the program is the replacement of
the traditional minor field of study
with a set of cognate (related)
courses spread across several
disciplines. The cognate requirements for each concentration are
tailored to meet the specific needs
of those within the concentration.
The cognates complement a
student's courses in political
science by providing important
background (such as history,
philosophy and economics) and
valuable skills (such as computer,
research, writing and speaking
skills).
A second innovative feature is a
required year-long senior seminar.
As part of this seminar, students
analyze their career goals, prepare
a resume and write a senior thesis.
Since writing a thesis requires
discipline, perseverance and the
ability to integrate, the senior
seminar serves as a capstone for
the student's education. Students
make public presentations of their
theses prior to graduation. Family,
friends and the University community are invited to these presentations.

Psychology is the systematic study
of methods to understand, predict
and influence human behavior and
mental processes. The major
provides students with exposure to
the areas that define contemporary
scientific psychology. The psychology major helps a student develop
analytical thinking and communication skills which are applicable
to a variety of careers. Many
psychology majors pursue gradu-·
ate degrees. Psychology electives
enable students to construct a
program of study consistent with
their professional goals. The
bachelor of science and bachelor of
arts degrees differ only in the
nature of the cognate courses that
are selected. The bachelor of
science degree requires science
courses and the bachelor of arts
degree requires foreign language
courses.

Dr. Gerald F. Dobbertin
Sociology is the scientific study of
human social groups, from families
to societies. Sociologists examine
how variables~ such as culture,
laws and customs, influence
persons within society. Sociologists also investigate how people,
through interaction, sustain or
change society.
The knowledge acquired through
sociology is useful in a number of
careers, including human services,
law enforcement, corrections,
elementary and secondary teaching, business administration,
public administration, law, and
medicine, among others.
For the student who is planning a
career as a professional sociologist,
who teaches and conducts research; or a career as a consultant, a
manager, or a policy analyst: an
undergraduate major in sociology
provides a good background for
graduate work in sociology.

Manufacturing Engineering
Technology (MfgET) is a multidisciplinary field integrating basic
knowledge and skills from fields
such as mechanical engineering
technology, electrical/ electronics
engineering technology, computer
science, management and economics. Whether it be a single gear or a
complete automobile engine, the
complete set of events that results
in a finished product is planned
and implemented by a manufactur-:ing engineering technologist.
As with all engineering technology
programs, the focus of the MfgET
program is in the application of
engineering principles. Therefore,
unlike accredited engineering
programs that require four or more
calculus courses (or advanced
math courses), the MfgET program
(general option) requires only one
calculus course and one statistics
course as necessary background
for applied engineering.
LSSU' s School of Engineering and
Technology houses traditional
training facilities such as a manufacturing processes lab, materials
lab, electronics lab and digital/
microprocessor lab. Further, LSSU
is home for one of the best educational facilities in robotics and
automation in North America.
This lab has 15 industrial robots,
several programmable logic
controllers, machine vision systems
and material handling systems.
The program contains a strong
laboratory emphasis with plenty of
opportunities to work on these and
other real manufacturing systems.
Entrance requirements for the
program for students completing
high school are the same as LSSU's
general entrance policy (please
refer to the section on Admissions
for further details). Students from
other colleges and universities can
transfer to LSSU and apply appropriate credits towards the
bachelor's degree in MfgET.
Students who are completing their
associate' s degree in a related field
from a community college can
typically complete the MfgET B.S.
degree in two additional years at
LSSU.
A scientific "high technology"
basis in the field of manufacturing
engineering technology is evolving. The MfgET program is designed to place LSSU graduates at
the leading edge of this evolution.

�School of Mathematics and Computer Science
The School of Mathematics and
Computer Science has two primary
objectives: (1) provide valuable
service courses to all University
majors in mathematics and computer science, and (2) offer exciting
and challenging degree programs
at the bachelor's and associate' s
level, as well as offer minors in
both mathematics and computer
science.
Computer Science
In recent years, a quiet revolution
has taken place. The computer has
moved out of the back room of
large corporations and research
institutions into the front offices
and living rooms of modem
society. Computer scientists work
at the leading edge of this revolution, developing software systems
that allow us to utilize the electronic hardware the engineers have
built. The work is challenging, and
often frustrating, but is ultimately
very rewarding.
The department offers a bachelor
of science in computer and mathematical sciences that combines a
study of digital computing with
the study of mathematical concepts. The resulting program
provides you with considerable
versatility and potential for future
endeavors in which practical
quantitative skills are important.
The systems emphasis offers applied
mathematics and business courses
to complement the solid computer
science core. The quantitative
emphasis provides a strong mathematics background that is necessary for graduate school, as well as
many numerically intensive
computer occupations.
For those interested in two years of
preparation and then entry to the
work force, the associate's degree
in computer science is an option. A
minor in computer science is
available to provide excellent
support and value to most majors
offered at the University. A separate computer science teaching
minor is also available for students
pursuing teacher education.
Faculty
Mathematics
A most productive tool: Mathematics
is the foundation of the sciences
and the technology largely responsible for our present standard of
living. Mathematics is one of the
most productive tools yet discovered for unraveling the mysteries
of our universe. In some instances,
it is the only language in which
some ideas can be expressed.
Courses offered in this discipline
provide the foundation for future
work in mathematics. Our teaching
objectives are twofold: to give you
an understanding of mathematics,
and to impart an understanding of
the many ways in which this tool
maybe used.

nursing is goal-oriented, directed
toward assisting human beings in
health promotion, maintenance,
restoration and rehabilitation. The
program is based upon human
needs theory throughout the life
cycle and is built on a liberal arts
foundation in the belief that all
aspects of society must be considered influential factors in the
health of human beings.
Bachelor of Science in
Nursing:
Accreditation:
Course distribution requirements
facilitate development of liberal
backgrounds in physical science,
social science and humanities. The
curriculum lays a scientific basis
for expanding roles in nursing
practice. The nursing curriculum
provides an interdisciplinary major
and does not require a minor to
meet graduation requirements.
Students interested in a minor
should refer to the appropriate
Catalog section. A total of 127
credits is required to complete a
bachelor of science degree in
nursing.
The bachelor of science in nursing
program is approved by the
Michigan Board of Nursing and is
accredited by the National League
for Nursing Accreditation Commission.
Courses:
Advisory Committee:
The Department of Nursing has an
advisory committee with local area
members representing health care
providers, health care administrators, health education programs
and high school counselors. These
members represent a community
perspective to assist in providing
feedback into educating
bachelor's-prepared nursing
graduates, identification of potential student learning activities,
health care trends affecting the
delivery of nursing services, and ·
assist in ongoing evaluation of the
program.
Courses offered by the department
are in nursing and health sciences.
Nursing courses provide the core
content of the nursing major and
are limited to students accepted
into the nursing program. Health
science courses provide a wide
range of knowledge and skills
useful for preparation in related
health careers and in the delivery
of health services in the community.
The Department of Nursing offers
two curricular tracks to the bachelor of science degree in nursing:
the four-year program and the twoyear completion program for the
registered nurse.
The programs provide you with
the opportunity to acquire knowledge, values and skills necessary
for the practice of professional
nursing.
Clinical Experiences:
The nursing program is unique in
its international affiliation. Clinical
nursing experience is obtained at
hospitals and community agencies
in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario as well
as at health care and community
agencies in Sault Ste. Marie,
Michigan and the surrounding
area. The LSSU Health CARE
Center provides opportunities for
practice in nurse-managed community nursing centers.

Pre-Nursing Entrance
Requirements:
Entrance Requirements
to Nursing:
To qualify as a pre-nursing major,
applications must satisfy University admission requirements
described in the admission section
of the Catalog. (This information is
also included in the Viewbook).
Many changes are occurring in
health care and other professions.
New skills and knowledge are
needed for the nursing graduate to
provide quality nursing care.
Some of the major changes and
how they influence the role of the
nurse are shown in the chart below.
For students with college-level
achievement, the opportunity will
be offered, by means of examination, to obtain course credit or
placement into an advanced
course.
High school academic subjects
include a minimum of one unit of
biology, one of chemistry, three of
English and two of algebra. Additional science and mathematics
courses are highly recommended.
Students complete one year in prenursing before making application
to the Department of Nursing for
admission to the nursing major.
Admission is based upon 1) filing a
Declaration of Intent to enter the
nursing program by February 1 of
the spring prior to fall admission,
2) successful completion of selected
pre-nursing courses, and 3) academic achievement.
Change
Nursing, B.S.
Four-Year Program
Pre-Licensure Track
In response to these changes,
faculty in the Department of
Nursing have been carefully
reviewing the current nursing
curriculum. Currently, students
are spending almost half of one
semester learning basic nursing
skills such as bed-making, transferring patients from bed to chair, and
giving complete bed baths.
Given the limited number of hours
available for nursing students to
obtain the essential knowledge and
skills needed for their success upon
graduation, the LSSU nursing
faculty strongly believe that the
basic skills (those previously listed
and others) would best be obtained
by the student prior to admission
to the nursing program. Requiring
competence in basic skills prior to
admission would "free-up" valuable classroom and clinical time to
devote to the knowledge and skills
essential for the nurse in the 21st
century.
Knowledge Needed by Nurses
Goal
There are more unlicensed assistive
workers in health care.
Supervisor and management skills.
To assure good-quality health care is
provided.
Integrated health care systems are
being formed where information is
linked between multiple sites.
Business knowledge and skills,
teamwork and information technology (computers).
To deliver high quality, ,:oordinated,
cost-effective care.
Managed care is becoming the
preferred way to deliver health care.
Statistical and comprehensive clinical
practice.
To monitor and manage health care
according to standards.
There is a move to a communitybased health care system.
Community systems and resources.
To assess and plan for health of
communities.

Pre-Licensure Track
DCertified nursing assistant courses
include these basic skills and
others. If nursing students are
prepared at the level of a certified
nursing assistant (CENA) prior to
admission to the nursing program,
there will be advantages to the
student in a number of ways.
1.
2.
3.
On admission to the nursing
program, you will be prepared
to take on educational subjects,
issues and experiences that will
best prepare you for professional nursing roles.
Being certified as a nursing
assistant will provide you with
actual experience in a patientcare setting. This will help you
to have a more realistic perception of patient care, and
will also help to decrease the
anxiety level if you have never
had actual "hands-on" patient
care experiences.
From a purely economic
standpoint, certification as a
nursing assistant will provide
you with employment opportunities at higher pay scales
during the school year and
summer breaks.
Based on the nursing faculty's
examination and discussion of
issues related to changes in the
nursing profession and their
impact on nursing education, the
following requirements for admission to the nursing program have
been established.
Updated Entrance
Requirements:
1.
Students officially admitted to
the nursing program at the
sophomore level for fall 1998
and 1999 will be required to
possess basic nursing skills
(listed below) before enrolling
in NU213 - Fundamentals of
Nursing in spring 1999 and
2000, respectively:
a.
Bed making (occupied and
unoccupied).
b. Patient transfers ambulation and positioning (bed to wheelchair/
bedside chair to bed, bed
to stretcher, stretcher to
bed).
c.
Complete bed bath including total hygiene.
d. Body mechanics and
patient safety.
These skills may be acquired in a
variety of ways. The faculty of the
Department of Nursing do not
require any one method, but offer
the following suggestions for
learning these skills:
•
Certified nursing assistant
course (current or proof of
prior certification)
•
Nursing assistant, health
occupations course in high
school, or personal care worker
course.
•
Self-paced learning modules.
•
One-to-one tutoring with a
nurse or experienced Certified
Evaluator Nursing Assistant
(CENA) willing to teach the
skills.
•
A local nursing home
(Tendercare) may be willing to
provide a three-day educational session to learn these
skills in exchange for 25 hours
of volunteer work with the
activities department.
If other than a CENA course is
presented to verify knowledge, you
will be expected to demonstrate the
skills in the nursing clinical laboratory. The evaluator will use a
"skills checkoff" of the expected
standard to evaluate competency.
Competencies are available in any
fundamentals of nursing textbook
or nursing assistant textbook.

�A Look at LSSU
Established in 1946 to address the
needs of returning World War II
veterans and to provide educa
tional opportunities to the people
of the Eastern Upper Peninsula,
Lake Superior State University still
embodies the essence of the early
days. A personal education in a safe
and friendly environment remains a
hallmark of today's LSSU.
from the original class of 272 to
more than 3,400 students.
Our beautiful 115-acre campus
overlooks the Michigan and Ontario
twin cities of Sault Ste. Marie, the St.
Mary's River, and the world famous
Soo Locks. The school is located at
the beginning of Interstate 75 which
ends in the Florida Keys.
There are 14 buildings on the Na
tional Historic Register contributing
to the University's sense of tradi
tion. This unique architectural blend
is a reminder of the "weapons to
plowshares" history of the setting.

Community: Sault Ste. Marie (pop.
18,000) is one of the oldest cities in
North America, having begun as a
fur trading center in the early 17th
century. A Jesuit mission was estab
lished here in 1641, and Father Mar
quette founded the first permanent
settlement 27 years later, within the
boundaries of what was to become
Michigan. The Sault celebrated its
300th birthday in 1968.
The Sault Branch was rechristened
Lake Superior State College of

The campus served as Ft. Brady
starting in 1894 after the fort was
relocated from the banks of the St.
Mary's. The fort was deactivated
in 1944 and, thanks to the efforts
of local volunteers and leadership
at Michigan College of Mining &
Technology in Houghton, opened in
the fall of that year as the Sault Ste.

Lake Superior State University
utilizes a Student Academic
Achievement Plan developed by
the faculty to enhance continuous
quality improvement and to meet
the Assessment Initiative of the
Higher Learning Commission of
the North Central Association
of Colleges and Schools. The
intent of this plan is to document
student learning at Lake Superior
State University both in the major
program and across the general
education requirements. This
continuous evaluation process
works to assure high quality
teaching and effective student
learning. The faculty at Lake
Superior State University have
collectively agreed upon the
characteristics of the educated
person the institution hopes to
graduate and have identified
outcomes that can be used to
document these attributes. The
following are areas that the
faculty have deemed essential
to a liberal education and have
value for the students in their
lives as responsible citizens:
communication skills, mathematics,
cultural diversity, humanities,
and social and natural science.
Students who complete the general
education courses at Lake Superior
State University will be able to
6 • Lake Superior State University
demonstrate attributes of the
general education outcomes.
Students attending Lake Superior
State University can expect
commitment by the University
to document and enhance
student learning. Through the
assessment process, the University
demonstrates its commitment
to improving student learning
and ensures that when students
graduate they have attained
specific attributes and abilities.

2.
Both the original and repeat
grades will show on the tran
script, but hours earned toward
graduation will only count once.
3.
For the purpose of calculating
the cumulative grade point
average, only the grade of the
last attempt will be used, if the
last class was taken at LSSU. If
you transfer in a class to repeat
a class from LSSU, the LSSU
grade will be removed from
your grade point average.
4.
To repeat a course more than
twice, you must obtain the per
mission of the course instructor
and the appropriate dean. Per
mission is granted only under
exceptional circumstances.

you must then take the from to
the registrar's office for pro
cessing.
A W grade will appear on your
permanent record and will not af
fect your GPA.
Class attendance: Regular class
attendance and active participation
in classes are important elements in
the learning process. You are at the
University primarily for the sake
of intellectual growth and develop
ment. Attendance and participation
provide appropriate opportunities
for the evaluation of your progress.
You are personally responsible for
the satisfactory completion of the
course work prescribed by your
instructors. This means that you are
expected to attend classes regularly,
and that you are responsible for the
work assigned in class, the material
covered in class, and for participa
tion in class activities (including
discussion and listening) designed
by the instructor as part of the
14 • Lake Superior State University
learning experience. However,
mere physical attendance should
not be a criterion for evaluation of
your performance.
Participation in an official Univer
sity function is an excused absence
when approved by the provost
You will not be penalized for such
participation. You are responsible
for work missed and must confer
with your instructor on this matter.
Complete withdrawal: If you are
a full-time student and drop all of
your classes during the first eight
weeks of the semester, you may
be eligible for tuition refund. To
receive any refund, fill out a With
drawal Form at the Student Service
Counter. This office will authorize
your refund from the Business
Office. (Please check online for the
refund policy.)
Before leaving, be sure you have
cleared any holds on your records
so you can return at a later date or
have transcripts of your academic
records sent.
Grading System
Grade Point Average (GPA): To
calculate your GPA for a semes
ter, divide the total quality points
earned by the GPA hours. GPA
hours include those earned or
failed but not those classes taken
for credit/no credit. Cumulative
GPA is calculated by dividing
total quality points earned by the
number of GPA hours carried in all
semesters. If you repeat a course,
count only the credits carried and
the points of the last grade earned.
Just the grade of your last attempt
is calculated in your GPA.
A cumulative GPA of 2.00 for all
credits is required for graduation.
Further, a 2.00 cumulative grade
point average for all credits in major,
minor(s), and general education is
required. Some programs require a
higher GPA in the major curriculum.
Incomplete grades (I): An incom
plete
grade can be issued in the
case of extenuating circumstances

You will be dismissed for academic deficiencies if you are on probation for two consecutive semesters at Lake
Superior State University. If your cumulative GPA Hours (as shown on your transcript) are 19 or more and your
grade point average is 1.60 or less, you will be dismissed. GPA Hours are those used in figuring your grade point
average. Classes not at the 100-level or above are not counted in the GPA Hours. Classes with grades of CR/NC are
not counted in the GPA Hours.
*A cumulative grade point average of 2.00 for all credits carried at Lake Superior State University and a cumula
tive grade point average of 2.00 for all courses required in your major, minor and general education is necessary
for graduation (effective fall 2007).

You will be on academic
probation if your cumulative
grade point average falls
below 2.000. Academic
Probation limits you to 15
credits. You must contact
your advisor to adjust your
schedule before classes start
for the next semester.
If you are on probation for
two consecutive semesters
(summer semester included
if you are enrolled in
summer classes), you will be
academically dismissed or, if
your cumulative GPA Hours
are 19 or more and your grade
point average is 1.60 or less,
you will be academically
dismissed. Your classes for
the next semester(s) will be
deleted.
After a first or second
dismissal you may choose one
of the following options:
a. Allow two semesters
(summer may be counted
for one semester) to elapse
before re-enrollment, or
b. Petition the Scholastic
Standards Committee for
immediate readmission
should extenuating
circumstances exist. This
action is initiated with the
Assistant to the Provost
for Academic Records.
The Committee can either
permit early readmission
with specific conditions
required of you or deny
your request. Subsequent
to the Committee's denial,
you can further appeal to
the Provost, whose decision
is final.

If you continue after a
dismissal, you will be dismissed
again after any semester in
which your cumulative grade
point average falls below a 2.00.

The Assistant to the Provost
for Academic Records may
allow you to continue "on

showing "on probation"
instead of "academic
dismissal" if your record has
shown improvement during
the semester and you have
a 2.00 grade point average
in courses carried for that
semester.
5.
If you are dismissed a
third time, you will not
be reinstated without the
permission of the Provost.
Three semesters must elapse
from the time of dismissal
before you may petition for
readmission. Summer may be
counted for one semester.

dishonesty.
�beyond the control of the student
that prevent completion of course
requirements. Examples of extenu
ating circumstances may include
health issues, death of a parent/
spouse/child, or military service.
Appropriate documentation is
required. An I grade can be issued
in a course, that by design, cannot
be completed in one semester. You
must make up the work by the date
specified by the instructor. If a date
is not given, the student will have a
maximum of two semesters (exclud
ing summer semesters) to complete
the requirements for removing the
I grades. Two semesters after the
issuance of the I grade, if the pro
fessor has not completed a Grade
Change Form or requested an
extension, the Registrar's Office will
change the I grade to an F grade.
N and W grades: These grades are
given to those classes that you have
officially dropped (N) or withdrawn
(W).
Grade change: You may request
your instructor to review and
change a grade within two semes
ters after completion. The instruc
tor completes and sends a Grade
Change Form to the Registrar's
Office.
Dean's List: Full-time students car
rying at least 12 graded credits of
college-level courses (100 level or
above) in a semester with a grade
point average of 3.500 or higher,
and NOT having any incomplete (I)
grades, will earn Dean's List hon
ors, which acknowledge outstand
ing academic achievement.
If a grade is changed, prior to the
conclusion of the following semes
ter, because of "instructor error" or
because the student has completed
work for a course which received an
I grade, the student will be consid
ered for Dean's List honors.
If the grade change is for some
other reason or occurs after the con
clusion of the following semester,
the student will not be reevaluated
for Dean's List honors.
Effective fall semester 2006, stu-
dents earning Dean's List honors
will have this designation noted on
their LSSU academic transcript.
Credit/No Credit
Courses
You may enroll in some courses on
a credit/no credit basis if you are in
good academic standing. The fol
lowing conditions exist:
1.
One course per semester may be
taken as credit/no credit.
2.
Only 12 credits of courses taken
as credit/no credit may be ap
plied toward a degree.
3.
Courses that are required by
your major, minor, or that are
general education courses,
can not be taken for credit/no
credit.
4.
You apply at the Registrar's
Office to enroll for a credit/no
credit course during the drop/
add period; cannot change to
regular grades after the drop/
add period ends.
5.
Instructors are not notified
that you are taking a course as
credit/no credit; the CR or NC
credit is assigned based on the
grade your instructor submits.
A student who cheats is subject to
dismissal from the University. If, in
the opinion of the faculty member
involved, such action is warranted,
he or she will notify the chair of
the Scholastic Standards Commit
tee and the student in writing. The
Scholastic Standards Committee
will then conduct a hearing in such
a manner that the student is given
due process. If the committee
decides that dismissal is warranted,
the student shall have five school
days to appeal that decision to the
provost of the University.
Credit by
Examination
There are three examination pro
cesses you can take to earn credit for
individual courses or general educa
tion requirements. They include:
1.
Advanced placement
2.
CLEP examinations — Inquire
at the Student Services Counter,
Counseling Center or with the
assistant to the provost for aca
demic records for information
on the CLEP examinations.
3.
Departmental examinations
— Inquire with the academic
department whether an
examination is available.
You maintain a 2.00 C aver
age in a course to receive a CR
grade.
6.
failing grade for the entire course.
Certain courses are always offered
with a credit/no credit format.
These courses have this information
in the official course description
and course syllabi. The policy and
limitations outlined above do not
apply to these courses.
Cheating and
Plagiarism:
The assumption of the academic
contract is that the student does
his or her own work: any breach of
the contract is considered cheating.
The faculty member who detects a
student cheating may take appro
priate action, such as assigning a
16 • Lake Superior State University
You must be admitted to a degree
program and in attendance at Lake
Superior State University to receive
credit by examination. An examina
tion grade of 2.00 is required to earn
credit. There is a fee required for
both CLEP examination and depart
mental examinations. The credits
earned by examination appear as
transfer credits on your transcript.
Some universities may not accept
this type of credit for transfer.
Auditing a Class
Audits are designed for someone
who wishes to take a particular
course for its content but not be
graded for the course. An LSSU
student may register for any
�course on an audit basis provided
all prerequisites have been satis
fied.
The coursework for auditing a
course is determined in conjunc
tion with the faculty member for
the course.
Auditing courses does not count
as part of a student's official class
load for determining financial aid
eligibility, veteran's benefits or
any other enrollment certification
requirements.
Students may change from an au
dit to credit status during the first
week of classes and only with the
concurrence of the faculty member
for the course. This change must
be processed through the Regis
trar's Office for grading purposes.
Transcripts
You may have an official copy
of your permanent records sent
to schools, companies and other
places or persons of your choice.

�Equal Opportunity
Notice of Lake Superior State Univer
sity's policy of compliance with federal
and state law
ii.
Policy
The University is an equal oppor
tunity employer and educator and
prohibits discrimination, including
harassment, on the basis of race,
color, national origin or ancestry,
gender, age, disability, religion,
height, weight, sexual preference,
marital status, or veteran status.
In carrying out this policy, the
University complies with all federal
and state laws and regulations pro
hibiting discrimination including:
Executive Order 11246, the ElliottLarsen Civil Rights Act of 1976,
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of
1964, The Equal Pay Act of 1963,
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of
1964, as amended by the Equal Em
ployment Opportunity Act of 1972,
and the Pregnancy Discrimination
Act of 1978, Title IX of the Educa
tion Amendments of 1972, Titles VII
and VIII of the Public Health Ser
vice Act, Age Discrimination in Em
ployment Act of 1967, Sections 503
and 504 of the Rehabilitation Act
of 1973, Veteran's Assistance Act of
1972, and Title II of the Americans
with Disabilities Act of 1990.
Sexual Harassment
The University is committed to a
policy of nondiscrimination on the
basis of gender. Discrimination
because of gender includes sexual
harassment, which means unwel
come sexual advances, requests for
sexual favors, and other verbal or
physical conduct or communication
of a sexual nature when:
i.
Submission to such conduct or
communication is made a term
or condition either explicitly
or implicitly to obtain employ
ment, public accommodations
or public services, education, or
housing;
Submission to or rejection of
such conduct or communica
tion by an individual is used as
a factor in decisions affecting
such individual's employment,
public accommodations or
public services, education, or
housing; or
iii. Such conduct or communica
tion has the purpose or effect of
substantially interfering with
an individual's employment,
public accommodations or
public services, education, or
housing environment.
The University is committed to the
protection of the rights of all indi
viduals and to the elimination of
barriers that would prevent indi
viduals from realizing their high
est potential of human excellence.
Sexual harassment is a particularly
noxious form of discrimination that
interferes with these goals and com
mitments, and is difficult to combat
due to the intimidation and destruc
tion of self esteem of its victims.
instances of discrimination and
discriminatory harassment
Once the University has been
informed of such behavior, it
will take timely and appropri
ate steps to investigate the
problem. At any step of the
grievance process, time sched
ules as outlined in the process
may be extended by mutual
agreement in writing.
2.
With the Grievance Officer, in
dividuals may discuss concerns
they may have regarding pos
sible discrimination or harass
ment to learn what options are
available.
3.
Nonretaliation: The University
not only prohibits discrimina
tion, including harassment,
but also strictly prohibits any
retaliation against any indi
vidual, who, in good faith, has
registered a complaint under
this procedure. Any supervi
sor, agent, or employee of the
University who, after investi
gation, has been determined
to have retaliated against any
individual for using the com
plaint procedure in this policy,
will be subject to appropriate
discipline up to and includ
ing immediate discharge. If
an individual believes he or
she has been retaliated against
for exercising his or her rights
under this policy, the individ
ual should use this complaint
procedure.
4.
All matters discussed in this
process will be kept as confi
dential as possible.
5.
If an individual is dissatisfied
with the University's investiga
tion process or resolution, he
or she may file complaints of
illegal discrimination on the
basis of gender (Title IX and
Title VI) or disability (Section
504 and Title II of the ADA)
with the Office for Civil Rights,

procedure, during or after the
use of the grievance process,
or without using the grievance
process at all.
STEP 1:
Informal Complaint
Any individual (complainant) with
a discrimination or harassment
complaint, may contact the Griev
ance Officer in person.
The Grievance Officer will speak
with the complainant and try to
resolve the matter on an informal
basis. At Step 1, all information
will be kept confidential to the
extent possible.
STEP 2:
Formal Complaint
If the problem cannot be resolved
at Step 1 within five (5) working
days from the date of first contact
with the Grievance Officer, the
complainant may submit a written
complaint on a form provided by
the Grievance Officer. The Griev
ance Officer will help the com
plainant complete the form if the
complainant requests.
Within five (5) working days of the
receipt of the written complaint,
the Grievance Officer will send a

�Admissions
Freshmen
You may apply to Lake Superior
State University any time during
your final year of high school. Ap
plications are processed continu
ously. When all necessary materials
have arrived you will be notified of
a decision as soon as possible. To
complete your admission file you
must submit an official high school
transcript, application fee, and ACT
scores (if you graduated from high
school within 26 months of entering
LSSU). Although ACT scores are
preferred, we will also accept SAT
scores.
The primary factors used to de
termine admission are cumulative
grade point average (GPA), high
school course curriculum, and ACT
or SAT results. LSSU recommends
that students follow a college pre
paratory curriculum mirroring the
Michigan Merit Curriculum. The
middle 50 percent of our entering
freshmen class typically have high
school GPAs ranging from 2.7 to
3.3 and ACT scores ranging from
18-24. Students should feel free to
submit any additional materials
which may aid the Admissions Of
fice in reviewing unusual circum
stances which may have impacted
high school performance. ACT or
SAT scores will not be used in the
admissions process if you gradu
ated from high school two or more
years ago.
Your admission will be contingent
upon satisfactory completion of
current coursework and receipt of
a final high school transcript with
verification of graduation from an
accredited school or passing on the
GED. To be considered official, all
transcripts and test score reports
must be mailed from your high
school guidance office or testing
agency directly to Lake Superior
State University.
LSSU assigns each student an
individual student identification
number. Your student number will
be provided to you when you are
admitted. While we do not use
social security numbers as your
student identification, we do use it
to match your application record
with your other permanent records.
Financial aid applications will not
be processed without your social
security number. Social security
numbers should be included on
your application for admission.
Canadian and foreign student ap
plicants should not use their social
insurance number. LSSU will use
your assigned student identifica
tion number.

Foreign Students
The U.S. Immigration and Natu
ralization Services (INS) requires
that LSSU have verification of your
ability to pay for tuition/books
and expenses before we can issue a
Certificate of Eligibility for NonImmigrant (F-l) Student Status
(1-20). This form is required for you
to cross the border into the United
States.
An acceptable financial document
must have been submitted not
more than nine (9) months before
the term you intend to enroll at
LSSU. The document also needs to
be current within the last 90 days.
Inclusion of false information in
the financial statements is grounds
for dismissal. Verification may
be documented by the following:
personal savings or verification
of loans or scholarships received,
a parent or sponsor, government
or sponsoring agency, or by LSSU
anticipated support.
As of September 1,2004, the U.S.
Department of Flomeland Security
(DHS) has implemented a rule re
quiring F-l visa applicants to pay a
one-time fee to supplement the ad
ministration and maintenance costs
of the Student and Exchange Infor
mation System (SEVIS). Because we
will be issuing you an initial 1-20
form, you will be required to pay
this SEVIS fee. Information about
payment of the fee and the process
ing of your 1-20 form upon entry
to the U.S. will be provided to you
with your initial 1-20 form. Because
the DHS is reviewing requirements
at the time this catalog was pub

Part-time Enrollment
You may enroll as a part-time
student and take up to 11 credits
per semester in courses for which
you have sufficient academic
background. United States students
attending part-time who are not
seeking financial aid or a degree or
certificate do not have to formally
apply for admission.
Canadian students wishing to
attend part-time must apply for
admission and be accepted into a
degree program.
As a non-admitted part-time stu
dent, you are not assigned a faculty
advisor. You are encouraged to seek
assistance in selecting courses from
the appropriate academic depart
ments.
Current high school students
should refer to the section regard
ing dual enrollment.
Tech Prep
The national tech prep movement is
supported at LSSU. As a testimony
of its institutional support, grades
earned in applied high school
science and mathematics courses
contribute to the high school GPA
computed for university admission.
Tech prep, with its emphasis upon
curricular integration between
secondary and post-secondary
educational institutions, helps Lake
State create a broader array of edu
cational options for our students.
Lake Superior State University has
articulation agreements with area
high schools to enhance applied
and career educational opportuni
ties at the post-secondary level. In
tandem with its regional secondary
education partners, LSSU has cre
ated pathways to applied education
for specified curricula in busi
ness and technology. University
course credits count toward degree
requirements for high school work
if certain competencies are met.
Check with your high school guid
ance counselor or an LSSU admis
sions advisor to verify whether a
specific course may apply.
�Dual Enrollment for
High School Students
Eligible students are those who are
in grade 11 or 12 who are enrolled in
at least one high school course, and
who have passed these four subject
areas of the MME: mathematics,
science, reading and writing. The
student who did not pass in all areas
is still eligible to take courses only
in the areas in which he/she has
received endorsements.
Both 11th and 12th graders are eli
gible to take courses in subjects for
which there are no endorsements,
such as philosophy, religion, psy
chology, sociology, anthropology,

�Financial Aid
Students are automatically
considered for Board of Trustees
Scholarships upon completing
application to LSSU by March 1st
for the following fall semester.
Rewarding the scholar and meet
ing the needs of those who apply
for financial assistance is a high
priority at Lake Superior State
University. The doors of opportu
nity are seldom closed because of a
financial condition.
You may qualify for a combina
tion of University, state and federal
programs—a financial aid packwhich may include a combi
ag
nation of scholarship, grant, loan,
and/or work assistance. Full-time
undergraduates take priority in aid
awards.
Carefully consider the full cost of
your education, parental support,
and savings — including sum
mer employment — to determine
your need for financial aid. If you
possess excellent high school or
community college grades, you are
encouraged to apply for scholar
ships regardless of need. Those
with need are considered for
grants, loans and/or employment
based on need established from
the Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA).
You can obtain information on
all financial aid programs from
the Financial Aid staff. Staff are
available to advise you and your
parents about the costs of attend
ing the University, availability
of financial aid and application
procedures.
Applying: You can apply for
financial aid by filing a Free Ap
plication for Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA) on-line at www.fafsa.
ed.gov.
Once your FAFSA is received by
LSSU and your admission is com
plete, you will receive an "Official
Offer of Award" letter from the
Financial Aid Office.
Scholarship recipients are usu
ally selected based on competitive
36 • Lake Superior State University
examinations, scholastic records
and/or financial need. The Ameri
can College Test (ACT) serves as
the University's primary test for
scholarship applicants. Test results
must be on file by March 1.
All freshmen who are Michigan
residents are encouraged to com
plete the Michigan State Assess
ment Test to determine eligibility
for additional state aid.
Scholarship requirements: Incom
ing freshmen must have a mini
mum GPA of 3.0 and ACT of 19 to
qualify for an LSSU scholarship.
The recipient of any award must
be a full-time student carrying
12 academic hours or more each
semester.

The following policy is the mini
mum requirement for all types of
financial aid; however, there are
some types of aid with more strin
gent requirements (see scholarship
requirements).
�Qualitative Standards
Every student must maintain a
minumim grade point average
(GPA) of 2.0 each semester to
remain in good academic standing.
Students not meeting the standard
will be placed on academic proba
tion for one semester. Students may
be granted a second probation
ary semester, however, students
with 19 credits or more will not
be granted a second probationary
semester if their cumulative GPA is
1.60 or less.
This standard is enforced by the
University's Scholastic Standards
Committee each semester. Students
who do not meet the academic
standard will not be eligible for aid
after their probationary period. To
petition the Scholastic Standards
Committee for readmission, stu
dents must follow the guidelines
listed at ivzuzv.lssu.edu/advising/
handbook/AAH_6-7-0.php.
Students who are notified by the
Scholastic Standards Committee
about their academic standing
should not assume that finanical
aid will automatically be reinstated
if their petition is granted. Finan
cial aid requirements are more
stringent in some cases and include
quantitative standards. Quantita
tive standard appeals must be sent
separately to the Financial Aid
Committee.

mester. The following credits must
be earned in relation to the number
of credits enrolled at the end of the
add period:
If a student does not satisfactorily
meet the quantitative standard,
he/she will be placed on financial
aid probation for the next semester.
Students may receive aid while on
probation but if a student fails to
meet the standard for the second
consecutive semester enrolled, his/
her financial aid will be suspended.
Part-time students enrolled for less
than six credits must earn all credits
attempted.
Once financial aid is suspended,
both the GPA and credit hour
completion criteria must be met in
subsequent semesters of six credits
or more before reinstatement of aid
is possible.
If completion of "I" grades or other
record changes warrant a reinstate
ment, a written notice from the
Registrar's Office must be pre
sented to the Financial Aid Office
by the student before eligibility is
reviewed.
Financial Aid Suspension: No aid
will be granted once a student's eligi
bility is suspended, including but not
limited to the Federal Direct Stafford

Financial Aid Reinstatement:
To remove financial aid suspen
sion status for qualitative reasons,
a student must have attained the
minimum cumulative grade point
average and credit-earned require
ments (minimum six credit hours)
at Lake Superior State University,
while not receiving financial aid. In
addition, students who successfully
complete 26 credits at a community
college after being suspended at
LSSU will be allowed one proba
tionary semester upon readmission.
Successful students must advise the
Financial Aid Office in writing that
they have met the requirements
for reinstatement of the qualitative
standard.
Right to Appeal: A student whose
aid is suspended for quantitative
reasons may request reinstatement
through the Financial Aid Commit
tee. To obtain reinstatement, the
student must effectively demon
strate that their poor performance
was due to some unusual circum
stance. The quantitative appeal
process is outlined at www.lssu.
edu/finaid/appeals.php.
Appeals should be in writing and
be received immediately following
the semester of the suspension.
Scholarships are awarded on aca
demic excellence and may not be
reinstated by appeal.
150% Completion Rule: To qualify
for federal financial aid, students
must complete a program within
150% of the time frame required
for the program. For example, a
student working on an associate
(two-year) degree must complete
the degree within six semesters of
full-time study.
Students may not "attempt" more
than 150% of the credits required
for the degree. The average
baccaulaureate program requires
124 credits, so the maximum
number of attempted credits is 186.
Appeals to this general rule must
include an advisor's signed copy

anticipated graduation date.
3.
If you withdraw or leave LSSU
for any reason, your scholar
ship automatically terminates.
If you plan to leave for a study
abroad program, internship
or health reasons, you may re
quest to have your scholarship
reinstated by appealing to the
Financial Aid Committee.
4.
To receive the room and board
component of any scholarship,
you must be in the on-campus
room and board program for
the semester. If you leave oncampus housing, the room and
board award will be termi
nated. If you return to campus
housing (you must be on the
room and board plan for the
full semester), you can request
reinstatement of the room and
board component prior to the
beginning of the semester you
return.

there are mandatory policies that
apply.
If you are unmarried and/or a
nonveteran enrolled in 12 hours or

"Financial hardship" is a situation
in which the total resources of the
student and family added to the
total financial aid available from
the University does not equal the
dollar amount budgeted by the Fi
nancial Aid Office as the minimum
required for on-campus residency.
In such a situation, there are two
alternatives: a) withdrawal from
the residence hall or b) withdrawal
from the University. An example is
a student whose financial situation
changed suddenly during the year
(perhaps due to the death of a par
ent) and who applies for assistance
after the aid program is depleted.

has successfully hosted since 1965.
This is a free college-preparatory
program for low income students
and/or students whose parents do
not have college degrees. The pro
gram provides academic support,
career exploration and advising,
and cultural growth experiences
designed to enhance educational
success. Upward Bound works
with these students year-round
throughout high school to pre
pare them to enter and succeed in
post-secondary education. The
programs serves about 70 students
each year from area high schools
within an hour's drive from LSSU's
campus.
Upward Bound hires at least 25
college students each year as tutors
and office workers during the aca
demic year and for residential jobs
during the summer. The program
is one of the few sites offering paid
summer internships for students in
human services, psychology, sociol
ogy, teacher education and criminal
justice.

Child Development
Center
The campus Child Development
Center provides full- or part-time
care for children 3 years of age on
the first day of enrollment, com
pletely toilet-trained. The maxi
mum age is kindergarden-enrolled
during fall and spring semesters.
We accept children through early
elementary during the summer
session, and if needed, during
school breaks during fall and
spring semesters.
The Center is open fall, spring and
summer semesters, and follows the
university calendar.
Children of LSSU students and em
ployees are given priority in admis
sion; however, children from the
community are admitted as space
allows. Children must completely
toilet-trained. The center, licensed
by the State of Michigan, provides
developmentally appropriate ex
periences for the child and empha
sizes social, emotional, creative,
physical and cognitive growth.
Each morning and afternoon, under
the guidance of experienced staff,
students enrolled in the early child
hood education program plan and
supervise large and small group ac
tivities including art, language arts,
gross motor, fine motor, and out
door play. A significant portion of
each day is devoted to exploratory
play where children move through
the various learning areas electing
to participate in any one of a wide
variety of activities interacting
with developmentally appropri
ate learning materials. The Child
Development Center is located at
the southeast end of campus.
Student-Faculty
Relations Committee
(Appeals)
Function. The Student-Faculty
Relations Committee provides a fo
rum for resolving conflicts between
students and faculty members
which may arise with classroojn or
�course-related activities, policies
or procedures. The committee will
not consider cases involving ADA
compliance or any other matter it
deems inappropriate. This commit
tee is strictly an informal mediation
body which will forward recom
mendations for resolution to the
parties involved (with a copy to the
Vice President for Academic Affairs
and Provost).
3.
Membership. The University
president appoints the committee
membership to turn-year terms.
There are four faculty representa
tives and four student representa
tives. The chair is chosen by the
committee membership.
Procedures
1.
2.
If a student (or group of
students) wishes to raise an
issue related to a course which
he/she is taking or has taken
(normally within one semester),
the student should attempt to
resolve the issue at the stu
dent/faculty, department chair
or appropriate dean level. If
the matter cannot be resolved
at the lowest possible levels,
the student may appeal to the
Student-Faculty Relations com
mittee informing them of the
problem. In exceptional cases,
the student may approach
the Student-Faculty Relations
Committee directly.
To bring an issue before the
Student-Faculty Relations com
mittee, the student must notify
the Student-Faculty Relations
Committee in writing. This
document must clearly explain
the situation and include the stu
dent's name, current address, a
message telephone number and
times when the student is avail
able to meet with the committee.
Supporting documentation may
be included as well. The writ
ten appeal should be submitted
directly to the committee chair.
The Vice President for Academic
Affairs and Provost's Office will
know the name of the committee
chair.
Once the committee members
have had an opportunity to
review tine student's concern,
they will conduct an informal
fact-finding process. As a part of
the process, the student will be
invited to meet with the com
mittee for further clarification.
This meeting will be 20 minutes
in length with 10 minutes of
question and answer by the
committee. The other party will
also be invited to meet with the
committee following the same
format. Both parties will then be
asked to meet together with the
committee in an effort to foster
communication, clarification and
resolution. The most desirable
arrangement would be for this
step to occur at one setting. The
committee will strive to be as ex
peditious as possible. There may
be extenuating circumstances
such as semester break or sum
mer recess.
4.
If there is no resolution after this
joint meeting of the parties in
volved, or if the outcome of this
process is not acceptable to the
student or the faculty member,
he/she may appeal to the Vice
President for Academic Affairs
and Provost of the University.
5.
The committee will keep no
permanent records.

�The International University
College Division
of Lake Superior State University and Sault College
Lake Superior State University,
in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, and
Sault College, in Sault Ste. Marie,
Ontario, are just a 15-minute car
ride apart. In spite of being located
in different countries, our cities
are closer to each other than they
are to municipalities in their home
state or province. So, community
leaders encourage initiatives that
strengthen the ties between us and
take advantage of shared resourc
es. The belief is we have more to
offer by working together.
Lake Superior State University
and Sault College have enjoyed
a good working relationship for
many years. In 2001, some articu
lations were revitalized, new ones
were struck and it was decided
to establish the International
University College Division. The
division allows full-time students
in some program areas to be dualenrolled. In computer science/
studies, criminal justice, liberal
studies/teacher education or occu
pational/physical therapy assistant
and athletic training or exercise
science, agreements have been
signed which encourage students
to take advantage of the diverse
faculty and resources available at
both schools as they pursue their
degrees and/or diplomas.
Getting involved in the Interna
tional Division is straightforward
— consult with the academic
department, fill in a Dual Enroll
ment Form and submit it to the
Registrar's Office. As a dual-en
rolled student, you are permitted
to take one course per semester
at the other school. Through the
extra advising available to you,
you can fit these courses into your
overall academic plan and semes
ter timetables. You register for all
courses through your home school
registrar and your academic infor
mation is transferred automatically
at the conclusion of each semester.
As long as you meet the required
academic standards, you will con
tinue to enjoy these advantages of
attending both schools:
•
the combination of applied,
"hands-on" training and theo
retical understanding
•
more course choices
•
access to many of the stu
dent services and academic
resources (e.g. wider selec
tion of equipment, libraries,
student centers, peer tutoring,
etc.) available at both institu
tions
•
accessible professors through
small classes, labs and office
hours
•
interaction with fellow stu
dents from another country
— a good basis for a network
of contacts that can assist you
in your life's work ahead
•
greater employment options
and advancement opportunities
Dual-enrolled students pursuing
the bachelor of science in comput
er science or computer network
ing gain these particular benefits:
•
professors with a wide variety
of computer-based qualifica
tions and areas of expertise
•
exposure to, and opportunity
to work with, more types of
hardware and software than
would be available at either
institution on its own
•
plenty of equipment available
for hands-on experience
Lake Superior State University *73
•
more than 70% of the major
courses with a lab component
•
opportunity to earn worldrecognized CISCO CCNA and
Microsoft MCSE certifications
•
Innovative, relevant programs
which adjust quickly to both
changing technology and em
ployers7 needs
Note: As of January 2008, anyone
- including American citizens
- entering the United States will be
required to have a current passport or
NEXUS identification card. Therefore,
all dual-enrolled students will need
to carry their passports as they travel
back and forth across the border to
attend classes.
For more specific information
regarding computer-based
degrees and participation in the
International University College
Division, please refer to page 120 of
this catalog.
Dual-enrolled students in the
criminal justice degree programs
benefit from the continuing educa
tion opportunities developed by
both schools for people currently
working in public safety. LSSU
does this through its academy,
providing MCOLES (Michigan
Commission on Law Enforce
ment Standards) and Michigan
Firefighter Training Council
certification. Sault College offers
advanced training and certifica
tion for Ontario Provincial Police
and municipal police officers at its
Law Enforcement Training Centre.

�Graduation Procedures
Degree candidacy procedure: Two
semesters before students plan to
complete degree requirements and
graduate, they must submit an
appropriate departmental degree
audit for each major and minor,
and a Declaration of Candidacy
for Degree to the assistant to the
provost for Academic Records. The
necessary forms are available at the
student's major departmental office.
The departmental Degree Audit for
a student's major or minor specifies
all required courses that have been
or must be completed. The audit
must be signed by the chair of
the school or department offering
the major or minor program.
Course substitutions and waivers
of departmental degree program
requirements may be granted only
by the chair and approved by the
dean of the school offering the
major or minor program. Course
substitutions and waivers for
education majors or minors must
also have approval from the chair of
the School of Education.
Exceptions to specific general
education requirements may be
granted only by the Scholastic
Standards Committee. Such
exceptions are infrequently made.
A petition for exceptions to general
education requirements is initiated
with the assistant to the provost for
academic records.
The assistant to the provost checks
students' Degree Audits, after which
a preliminary verification of the
Degree Audit is sent to each student
and respective school or department
chair. Students are responsible for
examining this verification and
requesting clarification of anything
that is not consistent with their
records or understanding.
From the Declaration of Candidacy
for Degree forms submitted by
students, a potential graduate
list is created for each semester.
Names for the commencement
program and diploma will be the
official, legal name as listed in
the records of the University. The
names of students who are listed
iii the annual commencement
program are also compiled from
Declaration of Candidacy for Degree
forms. Students may not be listed
in the commencement program
unless their Degree Candidacy
Form is filed with the assistant
to the provost six weeks prior
to commencement. Students are
expected to attend commencement
exercises unless excused by the
78 • Lake Superior State University
�assistant to the provost. Students
completing degree requirements
during the summer may participate
in commencement the previous
semester if their degree candidacy
form is received six weeks prior to
commencement.
After grades are received at the end
of each semester, Degree Audits
will be updated for all students
completing credit and who have
a Degree Candidacy Form on file.
When all requirements specified
on the Degree Audit are fulfilled,
the college dean and/or school
chair and assistant to the provost
give a final approval. Names of
these graduates are then sent to
the president for approval by the
Board of Trustees. Subsequently,
a diploma is provided to each
student.
Diploma charge: There is no
charge for the first diploma from
the University. A fee is charged for
replacement diplomas.
Students completing graduation
requirements in the fall semester
or summer, or who otherwise need
documentation of completion
before their diploma is available,
may request a letter certifying
that they have completed degree
requirements. Additionally, official
University transcripts will be sent to
any employer, graduate university,
or elsewhere, as requested by the
graduate. Official transcripts will
not be mailed to students.
Graduation with honors: Honors
graduates must earn at least 32
credits at Lake Superior State
University.
Students who earn 3.50 to 3.69 will
graduate cum laude; 3.70 to 3.89,
magna cum laude; 3.90 to 4.00,
summa cum laude.
Graduation diplomas with honors
will be awarded to baccalaureate,
associate, and certificate recipients.
Honors medallions will be awarded
to baccalaureate, associate and
certificate recipients who graduate
summa cum laude.
Delinquent Accounts
Students with delinquent accounts
may be removed from class, have
their diploma withheld, and/or
have transcript requests denied.
Honors Degree
The University Honors Program
offers highly motivated students
the opportunity to develop their
abilities and skills in exciting and
innovative ways. The central goal
of the University honors program
is to create a community of scholars
characterized by strong studentfaculty interaction around the world
of ideas. The honors program
fosters an approach to education
that incorporates the qualities of
active participation, intellectual
curiosity and an interdisciplinary
focus.
Selection is based upon a number
of factors, including: ACT scores,
high school grade point average,
application essay, personal interview
and Lake State faculty nomination.
Students invited to participate in the
program enroll in courses designated
for honors credit. The courses are
distributed among the requirements
for general education, the student's
major, and the University honors
program and may include small
seminars or independent research
projects.
To graduate with an honors degree
in a program of study, the honors
student must have formal acceptance
into the University honors program
and have successfully completed 21
honors credit hours with an overall
grade point average of 3.5* or better
at graduation. The 21 honors credit
hours are to be distributed among
the University's requirements for
general education, the student's
major and the University honors
program.
Upon graduation from the honors
program, the student will receive an
honors degree in his/her program
of study. The honors degree
designation is indicated on the
student's diploma and is distinct
from graduating with honors (see
Graduation with Honors).

�Athletic Training
Program Description:
Career Descriptions:
LSSU's Athletic Training major is
accredited by the Commission on
Accreditation of Athletic Training
Education (CAATE). Upon success
ful completion of the Athletic Train
ing Education Program (ATEP) at
LSSU students will be eligible to
sit for their Board of Certification
Exam through the National Athletic
Trainer's Association.
Colleges and Universities — ATCs
in this setting may provide health
care services to student-athletes,
teach in an ATEP or a combination
of these duties.
The ATEP at LSSU is comprised of
two phases, the pre-professional
phase and the professional phase.
The pre-professional phase consists
of the students' first two years in
which the student completes Uni
versity core curriculum courses and
pre-requisite coursework within the
athletic training curriculum to en
able the student to become eligible
to apply for admission into the
professional phase of the program.
Students then make a formal ap
plication to the ATEP.
The number of clinical sites avail
able to the LSSU ATEP limits the
number of students that can be
admitted to the program on an an
nual basis. Students accepted into
the professional phase of the ATEP
will take advanced coursework and
engage in supervised clinical ex
periences at private and university
medical practices as well as LSSU
athletics. Senior ATEP students are
assigned to a staff ATC as they work
with one of the athletic teams, and
conclude their training with a 15week internship selected in consul
tation with their academic advisor.
A detailed program description,
competitive admission require
ments and Technical Standards
for Admission are provided in the
Athletic Training Education Pro
gram Student Manual and on the
Recreation Studies/Exercise Science
Web site.
Professional Sports — In this set
ting, ATCs provide athletic health
care services for professional
athletes involved with one sports
organization.
Sports Medicine Clinics — This
growing setting provides ATCs the
opportunity to work with a number
of different health care profession
als and a diverse patient popula
tion. In addition to athletic injury
rehabilitation, many clinics provide
athletic training services for second
ary schools.
Secondary Schools — Private
and public secondary schools offer
special job opportunities for ATCs.
Many ATCs teach classes as well as
provide health care services to the
student-athletes.
Other possible athletic training
employment opportunities include:
corporate health programs, health
clubs, clinical and industrial health
care programs and athletic training
education programs

Program Description:
The bachelor of science degree
in biology combines theory and
concepts of biology with intensive,
hands-on experiences in our stateof-the-art laboratories and a wealth
of close-by field sites. The program
is flexible. Students build on a core
of biology classes by selecting the
physiology and taxonomy classes
and other electives that best fit their
interests.
The program is an excellent prepa
ration for biology or related ca
reers. Our graduates are currently
employed as doctors, dentists,
veterinarians, biological research
ers, consultants and teachers. Many
careers in biology require education
beyond the baccalaureate degree
and LSSU's biology program has a
proven record of excellent prepara
tion for professional and graduate
school.
Pre-professional studies are an im
portant part of the biology program
at LSSU. This program prepares
students for entrance into medi
cal, dental, veterinary, optometry,
chiropractic, and podiatry schools.
Students work with a pre-profes
sional advisor to select biology
courses and electives best suited for
their particular needs. Our program
has an excellent reputation with
the health professional schools in
Michigan, Ontario, and beyond.

chemistry work in many disciplines
and industries, and many proceed
on to graduate school in natural
sciences, law, engineering and
medicine. Internships in chemistry
are encouraged where students
can gain valuable real-world
work experience while gaining
college credit. In addition,
each student participates in an
applied research project in close
collaboration with faculty members
to address meaningful chemicalbased problems. These projects,
through the excellent preparation
they provide our students, are
often cited as important factors in
successful job searches and entry
into graduate programs.

Students with a particular interest in state and fed
eral laws enacted to protect our natural resources
and federal restrictions on the use of our renew
able resources should consider obtaining both an
associate’s degree in natural resources technology
(two years) and a bachelor of science degree in
criminal justice (three additional years). The NRT
degree will provide the student with a good general
background in natural resources and the criminal
justice degree will allow the student to be fully quali
fied for many different law enforcement opportunities. Jobs for conservation law officers are limited,
but the above configuration of degrees prepares a
student to be highly competitive for openings that
do occur. Students selecting this course of study
should work closely with their advisor in order to
complete both degrees in the five-year span. After
completing the two-year NRT associate’s degree,
students would complete the certification Criminal
Justice Law Enforcement emphasis. This plan
assumes MCOLES certification and 92 additional
hours following the NRT degree.

Student Profile:
Are you...
interested in art?
interested in performing?
interested in people?
The fine arts degree is for students
who have wide-ranging interests
in fine arts, and who wish to
explore and express their potential
through following a personalized
course of study. While students
will invariably participate in a
broad range of courses, they must
select two main areas of focus
(concentrations) from the following
six: graphic design, music, native
arts and culture, theater, visual arts
and writing.
Fine arts have been an important
aspect of the human experience
since first recorded history;
from African cave paintings to
Greek dramas, from Beethoven
symphonies to the writings of
Canadian playwrights. From the
study of fine arts we can gain an
understanding of various cultures
through their own indigenous
means of expression. Furthermore,
we can deepen our understanding
of our own culture by participation
in various contemporary art forms
(drama, music, painting, writing
etc.). Most important, by exploring
our own creative potential, we can
develop a better understanding of
ourselves.
Fine Arts Professional — Prepares
you for working as a managing
director of a department of music,
arts, theater or performance.
Teacher of Fine Arts — Develops
courses, maintains studios and
supplies, teaches in elementary

Program Description:
This degree is designed to provide
both the necessary certifications to
enter the fire service and also the
general education and background
necessary for advancement to higher
rank and supervisory level.
There are three tracks a student may
pursue to obtain the degree.
Fire Science Generalist Emphasis
— This program is designed to
prepare graduates for careers in the
area of fire protection, education,
fire equipment service/supply and
emergency planning. Students may
select a minor of their choice. For
those who are going to pursue work
in a career fire department, a minor
in paramedic technology is strongly
recommended. Others may select a
minor which is more applicable to
their own career aspirations such as
management, computer technology,
public administration, environmen
tal science or other area.
Fire Science Hazardous Materials
Emphasis — This program com
bines a major in fire science with a
minor in chemistry. A graduate with
a degree in this emphasis may work
in the area of environmental
protection and quality, water qual
ity, hazardous waste disposal, or
hazardous chemical mitigation/
clean-up. Positions are available in
the private and public sectors. In the
case of fire service, graduates may
work as a member or supervisor of a
hazardous materials response team
dealing with an accident or release
of dangerous products. Positions in
emergency planning are also avail
able. With the continued emphasis
on homeland security and the
threats of a biological or chemical
attack upon a civilian population,
readiness and response are vital to
saving lives.
Fire Science Engineering Emphasis
— The combination of fire science
and engineering courses provides a
graduate with the knowledge neces
sary to evaluate building plans and
designs from the standpoint of fire
behavior and safety. Tire design of
fire protective systems and alarms
is important to the protection of life
and property. There are also posi
tions available in firms and govern
mental organizations wlrich conduct
materials testing and fire behavior
research. Graduates may also wish
to continue their education to obtain
a graduate degree. Professional
qualifications, such as that of Fire
Protection Engineer, or other state/
province designations, may also be
obtained.

�Geology
Bachelor’s Degree
Program Description:
Career Descriptions:
Options:
Geology examines the dynamic
Earth and its physical, chemical
and biologic history. It involves
the study of changes that are tak
ing and have taken place and the
forces that cause these changes. For
example, geologists interpret the
movements of the continents over
geologic time and the formation
of mountains, volcanoes and other
features of the Earth's surface. Ge
ologists attempt to understand our
physical environment from which
we derive most of the natural
resources essential to civilization.
They investigate the processes that
led to the formation of mineral de
posits, and oil, gas and coal. They
also study environmental change
throughout the history of the Earth
and how those changes and the
development of life are related. Ge
ologists attempt to predict natural
disasters such as earthquakes, vol
canic eruptions, and landslides, and
they are very active in modeling
groundwater flow to develop water
reserves for municipalities and to
protect groundwater from contami
nation. Geologists study the natural
world and apply their knowledge
to achieve harmony between the
human race and its environment.
Energy Fuels Exploration
Geologist — Searches worldwide
for petroleum, gas, coal. Career

and good organization skills?
a well-established set of ethics?

Program Description:
Career Descriptions:
Mathematics:
Operations Research Analyst —
Helps organizations operate as
efficiently as possible through
the application of mathematical
principles to organizational
problems.
Many who major in the field of
mathematics combine those studies
with education courses and obtain
employment as teachers. People
with mathematics degrees are
found in a broad range of occupa
tions where quantitative skills are
needed; one of the largest employ
ers of mathematics is the National
Security Agency. Often a minor
field of study (such as computer
science) provides the supporting
credential for entry-level jobs.
Actuarial and Business
Applications:
The actuarial and business applica
tions option combines mathemati
cal knowledge with quantitative
business applications. The result
is a very marketable degree that
provides many exciting career
opportunities for graduates. A stu
dent should be prepared to take the
first actuarial examination in the
spring of his/her junior year and
the second examination the follow
ing spring. A student choosing this
emphasis will complete a minor in
accounting-finance.
Teaching degrees — A comple
tion of a fifth-year internship and
graduate course work qualifies
you for elementary or secondary
teacher certification in Michigan
and Ontario, as well as reciprocity
with several other states.
Graduate school — An undergrad
uate mathematics major with em
phasis on abstraction, together with
an analytical approach to problem
solving, continues to provide
strong preparation for graduate
work in diverse fields — especially
when combined with a minor in the
related field.
Statistician — Government
agencies such as the Bureau of
Labor employ statisticians to
monitor the consumer price index,
employment statistics and the like.
Industries use statisticians in their
efforts to forecast future needs, to
implement quality control, and
to design information-gathering
strategies.
Research Assistant —
Mathematicians are sometimes
needed as members of a multi
discipline research team,
responsible for creating a
mathematical model of a realworld process or context, which
then is used to help solve problems
of interest to the team's efforts.
Actuary — Assembles and analyzes
statistics to calculate probabilities
of sickness, death, injury, disability,
retirement, property loss and
unemployment for insurance
companies.
School Administrator or
Counselor — A valid teaching
certificate and teaching experience
are prerequisites. Further course
work and separate certification are
also required.
Educational Consultant or Trainer
— Trains personnel in industry on
new procedures and/or equipment
needed.

Career Descriptions:
Political science is the systematic
study of government, politics and
public policy. It is one of a number
of liberal arts majors that prepare
students for a broad range of career
opportunities.
With the skills they acquire in
writing, speaking, analysis, critical
thinking and leadership, political
science majors are able to pursue
a wide variety of career options
(some of which require additional
education).
Political science majors choose one
of four tracks or concentrations:
general political science, pre-law,
public administration or secondary
teaching. Each concentration
provides a combination of
knowledge and skills especially
appropriate for those with
particular career goals. However,
choosing one concentration over
the others does not limit you to a
particular career path — each of the
tracks provides a solid grounding
in political science and a broad
liberal arts background.
General education requirements
and sufficient elective credits must
be completed so that at least 124
semester credits have been earned.

The general political science concentration is
designed to provide a broad education in political
science. It is most appropriate for students who
plan to attend graduate school in political science
and for those with an interest in government and
politics who wish to get a broad, liberal education.
Students who continue their education in graduate
school most often pursue careers as professors,
researchers, consultants or government officials.
Students who do not pursue graduate study
choose from a wide variety of career options in
government, politics, teaching, journalism and
business.
The pre-law concentration is designed to provide
students interested in legal careers with a planned
curriculum that prepares them especially well for
law school and for careers in law. Students who
choose this option are often interested in careers
as attorneys, prosecutors or judges. It should be
noted that this is not a mandatory pre-law curricu
lum; it is a curriculum for pre-law students who
have a special interest in government and politics.

�Prelaw
Program Description:
There is essentially a three-step process
in becoming a licensed attorney. First,
an individual must complete an un
dergraduate degree at a college or uni
versity. Second, one must then go on
to law school to obtain a juris doctorate
degree. Finally, successful completion
of the state bar exam is required for
licensure. In being admitted into law
school, the two most important factors
that are evaluated by most law schools
are undergraduate grades and Law
School Admission Test (LSAT) scores
— an entrance exam required of nearly
all law schools in the United States and
some in Canada.
The American Bar Association and
most law schools do not recommend
any particular undergraduate major
before going on to law school. Con
sequently, a student should choose
a major in which he/she has both
interest and aptitude. Yet, there are
important skills, values, and certain
knowledge that can be acquired prior
to law school which will assist a stu
dent in being successful at law school.
Such values and knowledge include:
analytical and problem-solving skills,
critical reading abilities, writing skills,
oral communication and listening abil
ities, research skills, task organization
and management skills, ethical values,
and, of course, knowledge of the law.
In fact, a prelaw minor is available at
LSSU which consists of courses that
will assist a prelaw student in further
developing these skills, values and
knowledge.
Since there is no required prelaw
major, the American Bar Association
and law schools strongly recommend
that law school bound students contact
the Prelaw Advisor at their university
as early in the educational process
as possible. At LSSU, our approach
to advising prelaw students is very
individualized. We want to help each
student fulfill their goals and to be suc
cessful at law school and beyond.
The Prelaw Advisor at LSSU can
provide individualized guidance with
regard to selecting an undergraduate
curriculum (both a major and a minor);
recommending particular courses that
will enhance necessary skills, values
and knowledge; assisting in the law
school admission process; and provid
ing relevant career and professional
trend information.
Although there is no recommended or
required prelaw curriculum, there are
some excellent options that students
may want to consider at LSSU. The
following LSSU programs include
key components with regard to legal
knowledge as well as writing, analyti
cal and research skills:
• Business Administration-Legal
Management (major)
• Legal Studies (major)
• Political Science—Prelaw Concen
tration (major)
• Prelaw (minor)
Students should seek guidance from
LSSU's Prelaw Advisor as early as
possible to ensure they are individu
ally counseled with regards to their
respective interests, undergraduate
curriculum choice, as well as personal
and professional goals.

Career Description:
Attorney — Quite simply, attor
neys practice law. What that means
depends upon the legal (or non-legal)
work environment that one ultimately
chooses, along with the area(s) of law
in which one practices. The opportuni
ties are endless given the various work
environments and the numerous areas
of law in which one can specialize.
For instance, lawyers practice within
private law practices; public interest
groups; governmental agencies (feder
al, state, tribal or local); courts; business
and industry (e.g., insurance compa
nies, financial institutions, corpora
tions, hospitals, public relation firms,
political campaigns, labor unions, and
trade associations); academics (as a law
professor, law librarian or administra
tor); or in various non-legal careers
such as the media, law enforcement,
business, public relations, foreign
service, or politics. In addition, within
many of these varied work environ
ments, there are numerous areas of law
in which one may specialize.

Career Descriptions:
Most pharmacy schools require stu
dents to take two years of pre-phar
macy preparation prior to being
admitted to their four-year profes
sional program. Admission into the
professional pharmacy programs is
very competitive and is based, to a
large extent, on grades in specific
required courses. Many pharmacy
colleges also require applicants to
take the Pharmacy College Admis
sion Test (P.C.A.T.). This exam is
generally taken mid-way through
your second pre-pharmacy year.
Community Pharmacist — Practic
es in local pharmacies, professional
health centers, hospitals, nursing
homes or neighborhood health
centers.
Pre-pharmacy requirements vary
greatly between different colleges
that offer professional programs in
pharmacy. In general, most require
a pre-pharmacy program that em
phasizes math and science as well
as strong communication skills.
Recently, a majority of the nation's
schools began to move toward
awarding the doctor of pharmacy
(Pharm.D.) as the only professional
degree in pharmacy. Because many
pharmacy curricula are currently
being modified, pre-pharmacy
requirements are also subject to
change.
The modifications in professional
pharmacy curricula, combined with
the variability in pre-pharmacy
requirements, make it impera
tive for a pre-pharmacy student
to determine the requirements for
admission at the schools he or she
desires to attend. A pre-pharmacy
curriculum at Lake Superior State
University can then be designed
to help you obtain your goals. It
is your responsibility to contact
the directors of admissions at the
pharmacy schools to which you
are planning to apply so you can re
main informed of their most recent
requirements for admission.
Government Supervisory Posts

pharmacists for technical writ
ing, science reporting, directing

�Sociology
Program Description:
This major prepares you to enter
a variety of fields with a bachelor
degree. It also provides an excellent
foundation from which to continue
educational preparation for a num
ber of professions.
Many entry-level positions in
private and public sector careers
require the understanding of
organizations and human relations
provided by the Sociology major.
The sociology program emphasizes
research skills, knowledge about
diversity, critical thinking and
writing skills, all of which will
enhance your value to employers.
With assistance from your advisor
and your career goals in mind, you
will select one or two minors. This
combination of broad knowledge
about social organizations from the
Sociology major together with a set
of specific job skills and knowledge
from the minor(s) will give you
a competitive edge in securing
employment and in making career
changes as opportunities present
themselves and the labor market
demands change.
If you are preparing for graduate
studies or professional school,
you will find that the Sociology
major, together with one or
two carefully selected minor(s),
provides competitive preparation
for a number of areas of advanced
study, such as social work,
business, international relations,
survey researcher, public relations,
urban planning and more. If
you are planning to undertake
graduate studies in Sociology,
you are encouraged to take both
a major and a minor in Sociology.
Or, if you are planning to apply to
professional schools, such as law
or medicine, you will find that the
Sociology program, more than any
other major, allows you extensive
time within the four-year program
to take courses strategically
selected to best prepare you for the
desired professional program.

�Spanish
Program Description:
Spanish is spoken by the third largest
group of the world's population today
— 250 million people. The Spanish
B.A. program at LSSU is designed
to give students the opportunity to
acquire Spanish language proficiency
in listening, speaking, reading and
writing. The program will introduce
Spanish majors to prominent histori
cal, social and artistic developments of
Spanish speaking countries.
Preparation for Graduate School —
Students who earn a B.A. in Span
ish at LSSU may apply for graduate
school to pursue advanced stud
ies in Spanish as either a major or
minor.
Students successfully completing their
Spanish major studies will improve
their skills in critical reading, analytic
writing, communication and linguistic
awareness. In addition, they will devel
op understanding of, and appreciation
for, diversity and cultural difference
through immersion into the history,
culture, and art of Spanish speaking
countries.
International Business, Diplo
macy and Law — In an increasingly
global society, the ability to speak
both English and Spanish provides
students with marketable skills to
function well in the world of inter
national trade. Developing Spanish
skills beyond the level of minimal
language requirement classes
greatly increases career opportu
nities for individuals in the areas
of business, law, technology, and
international relations. The global
expansion of American companies
creates a demand for those who are
able to function and communicate
effectively in international settings.
The program will prepare students
for the communicative and culturally
aware use of the Spanish language in
careers related to international rela
tions, business, communication and
cultural exchange. Students with a
degree in Spanish will gain market
able linguistic skills to work in areas of
public service with bilingual or Span
ish speaking populations in the United
States.
Communication — The process
of learning a foreign language and
understanding its embeddedness
in a rich cultural and social context
of diverse human efforts provides
Spanish majors with a complex and
comprehensive educational experi
ence. Graduates will find an array of
business related job opportunities in
publishing, editing, the media, the
arts, and communication.
Career Descriptions:
Spanish Teaching and ESL — Af
ter successful completion of state
requirements and certification,

Career Descriptions*:
The legal assistant profession is one of
the occupations projected to grow the
fastest through the year 2014 according
to the U.S. Department of Labor. A
legal assistant (or paralegal) is a valued
member of the legal team and works
under the supervision of attorneys.
This program is approved by the Ameri
can Bar Association and is designed to
train qualified legal assistants capable
of working in a variety of areas of the
law and in a variety of work environ
ments. Consequently, the role and
job duties of a legal assistant vary
depending on the areas of law and
work environment in which a legal
assistant is employed. Such diversity,
varied challenges, and employment
possibilities are what makes the legal
assistant profession so interesting and
rewarding.
There are four different degrees or
offerings in legal studies. They are as
follows: (1) a four-year baccalaureate
degree in legal studies with an empha
sis in legal administration, criminal

or client advocacy or a selected
minor as approved by the legal
studies coordinator; (2) a two-year
associate's degree in legal studies;
(3) a post-baccalaureate (one-year)
certificate in legal studies (which is
available to students who already
have a bachelor's degree in some
other discipline and wish to make a
career change or advancement); or
(4) a minor in legal studies which
can complement various majors
(and may also be helpful to students
who are planning on attending law
school). The requirements for these
programs are based upon the guide
lines of the National Association of
Legal Assistants.

computerized research; drafts
legal pleadings and documents;

Workers in this field help people
improve their lives, work to allevi
ate human suffering and promote

to enable you help people in these
circumstances.
You will learn about the field of
social work, current issues in social
work, introductory level clinical
diagnosis and practice and will
acquire skills in one-on-one counsel
ing. Behavioral and social science
perspectives on human behavior
as well as basic human biology are
included in this program. An exten
sive internship experience in one or
more agency settings will provide
you with an opportunity to apply,
in a supervised setting, knowledge
and skills gained in the classroom.

Certain actions seem to be demanded by morality
and certain actions seem to be prohibited by moral
ity. In addition, there are many actions in which

study of Ethical Theory constitutes the study of phi
losophers’ evaluations of behavior, character, and

‘value,’ ‘right,’ and ‘obligation’). This course will
examine the ethical theories of philosophers such
as Plato, Aristotle, Kant, Bentham, and Mill as well

we will focus our inquiry on the God of Judaism,
Christianity, and Islam who is thought to possess
the qualities of omniscience, omnipotence, and
beneficence. (We will, however, exposit the
deities Hinduism and Buddhism to put our study
in context.) Can we prove that God exists? What
might we owe God? How can we explain the
existence of evil even though God is thought to
be wholly good? What place does religion have
in a pluralistic society? The history of Western
Philosophy is in large part unified by the common
pursuit of such questions. Not only are the
questions themselves fascinating and perplexing,
but also, they have been answered in inventive
ways by many extraordinary thinkers. The
Philosophy of Religion is, therefore, a continuing
search that has a much to do with human ingenuity
as it does about God. Prerequisite: ENGL111.

causality, and God. From Russell to Williams,
contemporary philosophers grappled with new
ways to understand logic, ethics, gender, and
subjective experience. Students will learn to
make connections between their own ways of
experiencing the world and the sometimes subtle
ways that philosophers since Descartes have
influenced their understanding of their experiences.

�A Look at LSSU
Established in 1946 to address the
needs of returning World War II
veterans and to provide educa
tional opportunities to the people
of the Eastern Upper Peninsula,
Lake Superior State University still
embodies the essence of the early
days. A personal education in a safe
and friendly environment remains a
hallmark of today's LSSU.
Our beautiful 115-acre campus
overlooks the Michigan and Ontario
twin cities of Sault Ste. Marie, the St.
Mary's River, and the world famous
Soo Locks. The school is located at
the beginning of Interstate 75 which
ends in the Horida Keys.
The campus served as Ft. Brady
starting in 1894 after the fort was
relocated from the banks of the St.
Mary's. The fort was deactivated
in 1944 and, thanks to the efforts
of local volunteers and leadership
at Michigan College of Mining &
Technology in Houghton, opened in
the fall of that year as the Sault Ste.
Marie Residence Center of MCMT.
The Sault Branch was rechristened
Lake Superior State College of
Michigan Technical University
in 1966. Autonomy arrived for
LSSC in 1970. University status
was granted in 1987 to the state's
smallest public institution of higher
learning. Enrollment has grown
from the original class of 272 to
more than 3,400 students.
There are 14 buildings on the Na
tional Historic Register contributing
to the University's sense of tradi
tion. This unique architectural blend
is a reminder of the "weapons to
plowshares" history of the setting.
Community: Sault Ste. Marie (pop.
18,000) is one of the oldest cities in
North America, having begun as a
fur trading center in the early 17th
century. A Jesuit mission was estab
lished here in 1641, and Father Mar
quette founded the first permanent
settlement 27 years later, within the
boundaries of what was to become
Michigan. The Sault celebrated its
300th birthday in 1968.
Our sister city, Sault Ste. Marie,
Ontario, is a cultural, recreational,
social and entertainment center.
The combined population of the
Twin Saults (98,000) allows for an
international flavor abounding with
the opportunities of a city, and the
safety and comfort of a small town.

�Expectations
for Student Learning
Lake Superior State Univer
sity utilizes a Student Academic
Achievement Plan developed by the
faculty to enhance continuous qual
ity improvement and to meet the
Assessment Initiative of the Higher
Learning Commission of the North
Central Association of Colleges and
Schools. The intent of this plan is to
document student learning at Lake
Superior State University both in
the major program and across the
general education requirements.
This continuous evaluation process
works to assure high quality teach
ing and effective student learn
ing. The faculty at Lake Superior
State University have collectively
agreed upon the characteristics of
the educated person the institution
hopes to graduate and have identi
fied outcomes that can be used to
document these attributes. The
following are areas that the faculty
have deemed essential to a liberal
education and have value for the
students in their lives as responsible
citizens: communication skills,
mathematics, computer literacy,
critical thinking, ethics, aesthetics,
cultural diversity, and science and
technology. Students who complete
the general education courses at
Lake Superior State University will
be able to demonstrate attributes of
the general education outcomes.
Students attending Lake Superior
State University can expect commit
ment by the University to docu
ment and enhance student learning.
Through the assessment process, the
University demonstrates its commit
ment to improving student learning
and ensures that when students
graduate they have attained specific
attributes and abilities.
Lake Superior State University
expects a commitment on the part of
its students to actively participate in
the learning process.

Review the class offerings, read the
instructions for scheduling, and
meet with your advisor to select
courses for the next semester.
You must sign up for classes for the
semester in which you will be doing
the actual work.
Please review all the scheduling
information carefully as it has dates
for scheduling according to class
level, dates for tuition payments,
and information regarding pre
requisites, corequisites and other
course requirements.
It is your responsibility to ensure
that the classes you take count
toward your degree program.
You may, however, be required
to take remedial courses (course
numbers beginning with "0", such
as MA081), which will not count
toward graduation.
Test Scores: When you apply for

you have been out of high school
more than 26 months and have not
taken the ACT, you can take place
ment tests at the Testing/Counsel
ing Center at Lake State to deter
mine your placement in English,

Maximum credit load: You may
carry up to 20 credits per semester.
You may take more credits if you
have a 3.00 GPA or higher and have
written approval from the associate
provost. Students on academic pro
bation should not take more than 15
credits.
10 • Lake Superior State University
Prerequisites: Many courses require
that you complete English, math,
reading or other preliminary classes
before signing up to take these
courses. If you have not met the
prerequisite, you not be allowed to
sign up for the class. If yor regis
tered into a course, and later found
not to have the necessary prereq
uisite, the instructor may drop you
from the class with an N grade.
Some courses require that you earn
a C or better in prerequisite courses
before scheduling for the next
course. Exceptions may be made
only by the dean of your college
or the instructor of the subsequent
class.
Repeats: You may repeat a class in
which you earn a grade other than
"VI" or "N" only twice without special
permission and only under thefollow
ing conditions:
1.
Courses transferred from other
institutions are included in this
policy.
2.
Both the original and repeat
grades will show on the tran
script, but hours earned toward
graduation will only count once.
3.
For the purpose of calculating
the cumulative grade point
average, only the grade of the
last attempt will be used, if the
last class was taken at LSSU. If
you transfer in a class to repeat
a class from LSSU, the LSSU
grade will be removed from
your grade point average.
4.
To repeat a course more than
twice, the student must attain
the permission of the course
instructor and the associate
provost. Permission is granted
only under exceptional circum
stances.
This policy began fall 2001 for all
new students either as transfer or
new freshman. When repeating
a course, you should check the R
(repeat) column of the Course Reg
istration Form.
Failed Classes: If you fail a class
required for your degree program,
you must repeat the class and re-
�ceive a passing grade. If the failed
class is no longer offered because
of program changes and/or course
deletions, the academic chair can
substitute a similar class.
Drop/add period: You may change
your class schedule during the first
six (6) days of each 14-week semes
ter. Courses you drop during the
drop/add period will not appear on
your permanent record. You must
get an instructor's permission to
schedule a course that is full or to
waive a prerequisite requirement.
Your add or withdrawal from a
course is not officially complete until
the appropriate form is completed
and submitted to the Student Service
Center. It's a good idea to retain the
official receipt upon completion of
any add or drop.
Late adds: If you wish to add a class
after the six-day drop/add period,
you must first get a Schedule Ad
justment Form from the Registrar's
Office, and then get the instructor's
signature. Return your Schedule
Adjustment Form to the Student
Service Center.
Non-attendance of the first class:
Your instructor may drop you from
a course if you do not attend or if
you do not call the instructor before
classes begin. The course instructor
will fill out a drop form and notify
you if you are dropped from the
course.
Dropping after the add/delete
period: You may drop a course
during the first 40 days of a full
semester (the last day to drop a
class listed online at: http://www.
lssu.edu/scheduling). Your record
will show an "N" grade and your
GPA will not be affected.
To drop a class after the eight-week
drop requires extenuating circum
stances, and you must obtain a
Withdrawal Form. You must:
1.
Complete the form (including
listing a reason for the drop).
2.
Get the instructor's signature
and the instructor's recommen
dation.
3.
Take the completed form to the
associate provost (of the class
being dropped), for his review
and decision.

If the associate provost ap
proves the drop, the student
must then take the form back to
the Student Service Center for
processing.
A W grade will appear on your per
manent record and will not affect
your GPA.
Class attendance: Regular class
attendance and active participation
in classes are important elements
in the learning process. You are
at the University primarily for the
sake of intellectual growth and
development. Attendance and
participation provide appropriate
opportunities for the evaluation of
your progress.
You are personally responsible for
the satisfactory completion of the
course work prescribed by your in
structors. This means that you are
expected to attend classes regularly,
and that you are responsible for the
work assigned in class, the material
covered in class, and for participa
tion in class activities (including
discussion and listening) designed
by the instructor as part of the
learning experience. However,
mere physical attendance should
not be a criterion for evaluation of
your performance.
Participation in an official Univer
sity function is an excused absence
when approved by the provost.
You will not be penalized for such
participation. You are responsible
for work missed and must confer
with your instructor on this matter.
Complete withdrawal: If you are
a full-time student and drop all of
your classes during the first eight
weeks of the semester, you may
be eligible for tuition refund. To
receive any refund, fill out a With
drawal Form at the Student Service
Center. This office will authorize
your refund from the Business Of
fice. (Please check online for the
refund policy.)

Before leaving, be sure you have
cleared any holds on your records
so you can return at a later date or
have transcripts of your academic

Grading System
Grade Point Average (GPA): To
calculate your GPA for a semester,
divide the total points earned by
the total credits carried. Credits
carried include those earned or
failed but not those classes taken
for credit/no credit. Cumulative
GPA is calculated by dividing total
points earned by the number of
credits carried in all semesters. If
you repeat a course, count only the
credits carried and the points of the
last grade earned. Just the grade
of your last attempt is calculated in
your GPA.
A cumulative GPA of 2.00 for all
credits is required for graduation.
Further, a 2.00 cumulative grade
point average for all credits in ma
jor and minor(s) is required. Some
programs require a higher GPA in
the major curriculum.
Incomplete grades (I): An incom
plete "I" grade can be issued in the
case of extenuating circumstances
beyond the control of the student
that prevent completion of course
requirements. Examples of extenu
ating circumstances may include
health issues, death of a parent/
spouse/child, or military service.
Appropriate documentation is re
quired. An "I" grade can be issued
in a course, that by design, cannot
be completed in one semester. You
must make up the work by the date
specified by the instructor. If a date
is not given, the student will have a
maximum of two semesters (ex
cluding summer semesters) to com
plete the requirements for remov
ing the "I" grades. Two semesters
after the issuance of the "I" grade,
if the professor has not completed
a Grade Change Form or requested
an extension, the Registrar's Office
will change the "I" grade to an "F"
grade.

Certain courses are always offered
with a credit/no credit format.
These courses have this information
in the official course description
and course syllabi. The policy and
limitations outlined above do not
apply to these courses.
Cheating and
Plagiarism:
The assumption of the academic
contract is that the student does his
or her own work: any breach of
the contract is considered cheating.
The faculty member who detects a
student cheating may take appro
priate action, such as assigning a
failing grade for the entire course.
A student who cheats is subject to
dismissal from the University. If, in
the opinion of the faculty member
involved, such action is warranted,
he or she will notify the chairman
of the Scholastic Standards Com
mittee and the student in writing.
The Scholastic Standards Commit
tee will then conduct a hearing in
such a manner that the student is
given due process. If the committee
decides that dismissal is warranted,
the student shall have five school
days to appeal that decision to the
provost of the University.
Credit by
Examination
There are three examination pro
cesses you can take to earn credit
for individual courses or general
education requirements. They
include:
1.
Advanced placement
2.
CLEP examinations — Inquire
at the Student Services Center,
Lake Superior State University *13
Counseling Center or with the
assistant to the provost for aca
demic records for information

3.
Departmental examinations
— Inquire with the academic
department whether an exami
nation is available.
You must be admitted to a degree
program and in attendance at Lake
Superior State University to receive
credit by examination. An exami
nation grade of 2.00 is required to
earn credit. There is a fee required
for both CLEP examination and
departmental examinations. The
credits earned by examination
appear as transfer credits on your
transcript. Some universities may
not accept this type of credit for
transfer.
Auditing a Class
Audits are designed for someone
who wishes to take aparticular
course for its content but not be
graded for the course. An LSSU
student may register for any
course on an audit basis pro
vided all prerequisites have been
satisfied.
The coursework for auditing a
course is determined in conjunc
tion with the faculty member for
the course.
Auditing courses does not count
as part of a student's official class
load for determining financial aid
eligibility, veteran's benefits or
any other enrollment certification
requirements.
Students may change from an au
dit to credit status during the first
week of classes and only with the
concurrence of the faculty member
for the course. This change must
be processed through the Regis
trar's Office for grading purposes.

Section 15. Right to a Hearing
The Act provides an opportunity
for a hearing to challenge the con
tent of a student's educational re
cord to insure that the record does
not contain inaccurate or mislead
ing information or violates the pri
vacy or other rights of the student.
This procedure can not be used to
challenge grades. The following
procedure defines the process after
the decision of denial.
Procedure of Hearing
A student desiring a hearing on a
denial to amend the record by the
official establishing such records
must:
1.
submit a written request for a
hearing to the hearing officer
and the registrar.
2.
designate in the request: the
student's name and identifica
tion number, date of request,
specific information on the
record challenged, basis for

nications have been received.
The hearing officer will, within
seven calendar days of receipt of
the request for hearing, notify the
student of the hearing date, time
and location. At least 72 hours
notice prior to the hearing will be
provided to involved parties.
A full and fair opportunity is avail
able to present evidence relevant to
the question of whether the record
in question is inaccurate, mislead
ing or in violation of the privacy or
other rights of the students.
The student may be assisted or
represented by any individual and
expense including an attorney.
The hearing officer will render
a decision on the appeal within
seven calendar days of hearing's
conclusion. The decision shall be in
writing and based solely upon the
evidence presented at the hearing.
The written decision to the student
shall include a summary of the evi
dence and reasons for the decision.
If, as a result of the hearing, the
hearing officer rules the informa
tion is inaccurate, misleading or
in violation of any of the student's
rights, the record in question will
be amended within seven calendar
days of the decision.
If, as a result of the hearing, the
hearing officer determines that the
record should not be amended, the
student shall be informed of the
right to place in the education re
cord a statement commenting upon
the information and setting forth
the reasons for disagreeing with the
University's decision.
Any explanation placed in the
record of the student under this
provision shall:
1.
Be maintained as a part of the
record as long as the record or
the contested portion thereof is
retained by the University, and
2.
Be disclosed by the University,
along with the contested record
to any party receiving such
record.
�Section 16. Waivers
A student may waive any right
under the Act. The waiver shall not
be valid unless it is in writing and
signed by the student. The Univer
sity may not require that a student
waive any right under the Act.
This requirement does not preclude
the University from requesting
such a waiver.
An applicant for admission or a
student in attendance may waive
the right to inspect and review
confidential letters and statements
of recommendation. The waiver
applies to letters or statements only
if it is in writing and designated by
the student and if:
1.
the applicant or student is
notified of the names of those
providing letters or statements.
2.
the documents are used only for
the purpose intended.
3.
the waiver is not required as
a condition of admission or
receipt of any sendee or benefit
from the University.
A waiver may be revoked, but that
action must be in writing and filed
with the office in possession of the
waiver.

�Equal Opportunity
Notice of Lake Superior State Univer
sity's policy of compliance with federal
and state law
Policy
The University is an equal oppor
tunity employer and educator and
prohibits discrimination, including
harassment, on the basis of race,
color, national origin or ancestry,
gender, age, disability, religion,
height, weight, sexual preference,
marital status, or veteran status.
In carrying out this policy, the
University complies with all federal
and state laws and regulations pro
hibiting discrimination including:
Executive Order 11246, the ElliottLarsen Civil Rights Act of 1976,
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of
1964, The Equal Pay Act of 1963,
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of
1964, as amended by the Equal Em
ployment Opportunity Act of 1972,
and the Pregnancy Discrimination
Act of 1978, Title IX of the Educa
tion Amendments of 1972, Titles VII
and VIII of the Public Health Ser
vice Act, Age Discrimination in Em
ployment Act of 1967, Sections 503
and 504 of the Rehabilitation Act
of 1973, Veteran's Assistance Act of
1972, and Title II of the Americans
with Disabilities Act of 1990.
Sexual Harassment
The University is committed to a
policy of nondiscrimination on the
basis of gender. Discrimination
because of gender includes sexual
harassment, which means unwel
come sexual advances, requests for
sexual favors, and other verbal or
physical conduct or communication
of a sexual nature when:
i.
Submission to such conduct or
communication is made a term
or condition either explicitly
or implicitly to obtain employ
ment, public accommodations
or public services, education, or
housing;
instances of discrimination and
discriminatory harassment.
Once the University has been
informed of such behavior, it
will take timely and appropri
ate steps to investigate the
problem. At any step of the
grievance process, time sched
ules as outlined in the process
may be extended by mutual
agreement in writing.
ii. Submission to or rejection of
such conduct or communica
tion by an individual is used as
a factor in decisions affecting
such individual's employment,
public accommodations or
public services, education, or
housing; or
iii. Such conduct or communica
tion has the purpose or effect of
substantially interfering with
an individual's employment,
public accommodations or
public services, education, or
housing environment.
The University is committed to the
protection of the rights of all indi
viduals and to the elimination of
barriers that would prevent indi
viduals from realizing their high
est potential of human excellence.
Sexual harassment is a particularly
noxious form of discrimination that
interferes with these goals and com
mitments, and is difficult to combat
due to the intimidation and destruc
tion of self esteem of its victims.
2.
With the Grievance Officer, in
dividuals may discuss concerns
they may have regarding pos
sible discrimination or harass
ment to learn what options are
available.
3.
Nonretaliation: The University
not only prohibits discrimina
tion, including harassment,
but also strictly prohibits any
retaliation against any indi
vidual, who, in good faith, has
registered a complaint under
this procedure. Any supervi
sor, agent, or employee of the
University who, after investi
gation, has been determined
to have retaliated against any
individual for using the com
plaint procedure in this policy,
will be subject to appropriate
discipline up to and includ
ing immediate discharge. If
an individual believes he or
she has been retaliated against
for exercising his or her rights
under this policy, the individ
ual should use this complaint
procedure.
4.
All matters discussed in this
process will be kept as confi
dential as possible.
5.
If an individual is dissatisfied
with the University's investiga
tion process or resolution, he
or she may file complaints of
illegal discrimination on the
basis of gender (Title IX and
Title VI) or disability (Section
504 and Title II of the ADA)

�Admissions
Freshmen
You may apply to Lake Superior
State University any time during
your filial year of high school. Ap
plications are processed continu
ously and you will be notified of
a decision within two weeks. To
complete your admission file you
must submit a final high school
transcript and ACT scores (if you
graduated from high school within
26 months of entering LSSU). Final
high school transcript must verify
graduation from an accredited
school or passing on the GED. To

scripts must be mailed from your
high school guidance office directly
to Lake Superior State University.
LSSU assigns each student an
individual student identification
number. Your student number
will be provided to you after your
application is complete. While we
do not use social security numbers
as your student identification, we
do use it to match your application
record with your other permanent
records. Financial aid applications
will not be processed without your
social security number. Social se
curity numbers should be included
on your application for admission.
Canadian applicants should not use
their social insurance number. An
alternative number will be assigned
to Canadian and other foreign
students.
The primary factors in determin
ing admission are ACT* scores and
grade point average. LSSU uses an
overall grade point average (GPA).
The average overall GPA for the
2003 freshman class was 3.00 on
a scale of a 4.0. The average ACT
composite score was a 21.
Students whose ACT or GPA levels
approach but do not meet LSSU
standards may be admitted via
the University Studies program.
University Studies is dedicated to
providing an educational opportu

�Financial Aid
Students are automatically
considered for Board of Trustees

application to LSSU by April 1st for
the following fall semester.
Rewarding the scholar and meeting
the needs of those who apply for
financial assistance is a high prior
ity at Lake Superior State Univer
sity. The doors of opportunity are
seldom closed because of a financial
condition.
You may qualify for a combina
tion of University, state and federal
programs—a financial aid pack
age— which may include a combi
nation of scholarship, grant, loan,
and/or work assistance. Full-time
undergraduates take priority in aid
awards.
Carefully consider the full cost of
your education, parental support,
and savings — including summer
employment — to determine your
need for financial aid. If you possess
excellent high school or community
college grades, you are encouraged
to apply for scholarships regard
less of need. Those with need are
considered for grants, loans and/or
employment based on need estab
lished from the Free Application for
Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
You can obtain information on all
financial aid programs from the
Financial Aid staff. Staff are avail
able to advise you and your parents
about the costs of attending the
University, availability of financial
aid and application procedures.
Applying: You can apply for finan
cial aid by obtaining a FAFSA form
from your high school counselor or
contacting the Financial Aid Office,
Lake Superior State University, 650
W. Easterday Ave., Sault Ste. Marie,
MI 49783. You may also file your
FAFSA on-line at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
Once your FAFSA is received by

plete, you will receive an "Official
Offer of Award" letter from the
Financial Aid Office.
Scholarship requirements: Incom
ing freshmen must have a minimum
32 • Lake Superior State University
GPA of 3.0 and ACT of 19 to qualify
for an LSSU scholarship. The recipi
ent of any award must be a full-time
student carrying 12 academic hours
or more each semester (except re
gional center recipients).
Scholarship recipients are usually
selected based on competitive exam
inations, scholastic records and/or
financial need. The American Col
lege Test serves as the University's
primary test for scholarship appli
cants. Test results must be on file by
April 1.
All freshmen who are Michigan
residents are encouraged to com
plete the Michigan Educational
Assessment Program (MEAP) test to
determine eligibility for additional
state aid.
You and your parents or guardian
must complete a Free Application
for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)

must be received by the processor
before March 1 to assure priority
aid consideration.
Satisfactory
Academic Progress
Requirements for
the Retention of
Financial Aid
Ifyou are receiving any form offinan
cial aid, you must meet these satisfac
tory academic progress requirements to
retain your aid each semester.
Financial aid regulations require
that a student must make satisfac
tory progress to remain eligible for
financial aid. Financial aid pro
grams affected by this policy are
Federal Pell Grant, Federal Perkins
Loan, Federal Work-Study, Federal
Supplemental Educational Oppor
tunity Grant, Federal Direct Loans,
Federal PLUS Loans, State of Michi
gan and Institutional Scholarships,
Grants, Loan and Work Programs.
�The following policy is the
minimum requirement for all types
of financial aid; however, there
are some types of aid with more
stringent requirements
(see scholarship requirements):
Qualitative Standards
Every student must maintain,
at the end of each semester, a
cumulative grade point average
(GPA) of at least:
Cumulative
GPA
Credits
Attempted*
1.70
1.86
1.93
1.97
0-25 credits
26-55 credits
56-87 credits
88 or more credits
*Semester Hours
(includes transfer
credit hours)
Probationary Semester: First-year
freshmen and new transfer students
not meeting the GPA requirement
after their first semester at LSSU will
be placed on financial aid probation
for one semester. The cumulative
GPA after the probationary semester
must satisfy the minimum GPA or
the student will have his/her finan
cial aid suspended. For example, a
freshman "attempting" 16 credits
each semester would need to have
a cumulative GPA of at least 1.86 to
receive aid the following year.
Current Students: Students that
have been enrolled for more than
one semester will not have a proba
tionary semester and must meet the
schedule above for each semester.
Transfer Students: The require
ments for transfer students are
based on the number of full-time
equivalent credits transferred to
LSSU. For example, a student with
68 transfer credits must earn a GPA
of 1.93 or higher.
Quantitative Standards
Each student's progress in credits
earned will be reviewed every se
mester. The following credits must
be earned in relation to the number
of credits enrolled at the end of the
add period:

If a student does not satisfactorily
meet the quantitative standard, he/
she will be placed on financial aid
probation for the next semester. If
a student fails to meet the standard
for the second consecutive semester
enrolled, his/her financial aid will
be suspended.
Part-time students enrolled for less
than six credits must earn all credits
attempted.
Once financial aid is suspended,
both the GPA and credit hour
completion criteria must be met in
subsequent semesters of six credits
or more before reinstatement of aid
is possible.
If completion of "I" grades or other
record changes warrant a reinstate
ment, a written notice from the
Registrar's Office must be presented
to the Financial Aid Office by the
end of the semester following can
cellation of aid by the student.
Financial Aid Suspension: No aid
will be granted once a student's eligi
bility is suspended, including but not

Loan, Federal Perkins Loan, Federal
Lake Superior State University • 33
�150% Completion Rule
To qualify for federal financial
aid, students must complete
a program within 150% of the
timeframe required for the pro
gram. For example, a student
working on an associate (twoyear) degree must complete the
degree within six semesters of
full-time study.
Students may not "attempt"
more than 150% of the credits
required for the degree. The
average baccaulaureate pro
gram requires 124 credits, so the
maximum number of attempted
credits is 186.
Appeals to this general rule
must include an advisor's
signed copy of your degree au
dit with your anticipated gradu
ation date.

cational Opportunity Grant, Federal
Pell Grant, Michigan Competitive
Scholarship, Michigan Adult PartTime Grant, Michigan Educational
Opportunity Grant, Michigan Work
Study and Institutional Scholarships
and Grants.
Financial Aid Reinstatement:
To remove financial aid suspen
sion status for qualitative reasons,
a student must have attained the
minimum cumulative grade point
average and credit-earned require
ments (minimum six credit hours)
at Lake Superior State University,
while not receiving financial aid.
In additiona, students who suc
cessfully complete 26 credits at
a community college after being
suspended at LSSU will be allowed
one probationary semester upon
readmission.
Successful students must advise
the Financial Aid Office in writing
that they have met the requirements
for reinstatement of the qualitative
standard.
Right to Appeal: A student whose
aid is suspended may request
reinstatement through the Financial
Aid Committee. To obtain reinstate
ment, the student must effectively
demonstrate that their poor perfor
mance was due to some unusual
circumstance. Such requests should
be in writing and be received im
mediately following the semester of
the suspension.
Scholarships are awarded on aca
demic excellence and may not be
reinstated by appeal.

attend.

cial Aid Office for details.
To be eligible for a Pell Grant,

dard procedure established by
the Department of Education to
calculate the award.

University Studies
Program
The University Studies Program
(USP) is designed to provide mo
tivated students who do not meet
LSSU's admission requirements an
opportunity for academic success at
LSSU. The USP is ideal for students
who 1) are excited about attending
college or university, but did not
receive the full benefits of their high
school education, 2) motivated to
learn but lack the preparatory read
ing, writing or mathematics skills
necessary for success in freshmanlevel courses at LSSU, or 3) are look
ing for a second change at a college
or university education.
Students admitted to the Univer
sity Studies Program work closely
with academic advisors to set up an
individualized plan of course and
program requirements and academ
ic support while working toward
degree requirements at LSSU.

Housing
A variety of housing facilities are
available. If you are enrolled at
LSSU for 12 credit hours or more,
there are mandatory policies that
apply.
If you are unmarried and/or a
nonveteran enrolled in 12 hours or
more and are within 27 calendar
months of your high school gradu
ation, you must reside in a Univer
sity residence hall.
High school graduation dates are
assumed to be June 1 for this pur
pose. The exceptions are:
1.
2.
3.
If you live with your parents
within a 60-mile radius or the
three-county (Chippewa, Luce
and Mackinac) service area
of the University. An excep
tion application is available in
the Housing Office and must
be approved by the Housing
director.
If you are exempted in writing
by the Housing director when
residence hall space is filled.
If you have unusual financial
or health problems. Permis
sion must be granted by the
Director of Housing and Resi
dential Life.
The University reserves the right
to assign all students within the
residence halls. Housing prefer
ences are considered according
to the dates of receipt of applica-
tion and first room and board
payments. Freshmen are usually
accorded priority in residence hall
assignments and upperclassmen
hold priority in apartment assign
ments.
The Corner Pocket (located on the
lower level of the Cisler Center) is a
convenience store with many snack
items, beverages and groceries.
The University recognizes that
exceptions to these policies may
arise. Requests for permission to
live off-campus will be considered
by the Director of Housing and
Residential Life, who shall apply
the following criteria to a request
to live off campus for financial
reasons:
Athletics
"Financial hardship" is a situation
in which the total resources of the
student and family added to the
total financial aid available from
the University does not equal the
dollar amount budgeted by the Fi
nancial Aid Office as the minimum
required for on-campus residency.
In such a situation, there are two
alternatives: a) withdrawal from
the residence hall or b) withdrawal
from the University. An example is
a student whose financial situation
changed suddenly during the year
(perhaps due to the death of a par
ent) and who applies for assistance
after the aid program is depleted.
Dining Services
The Quarterdeck Dining Hall
(on the upper level of the Walker
Cisler Center Students and Confer
ence Center) is an all-you-can-eat

is a Division I sport for men.
The University is a member of the
Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athlet
ic Conference (GLIAC) in Division
II sports, and competes in the Cen
tral Collegiate Hockey Association
(CCHA) in hockey.
Initial approval by the NCAA
Clearinghouse is required of all
freshman athletes. Contact your
high school guidance counselor for
that information.

Student-Faculty
Relations Committee
(Appeals)
Function. The Student-Faculty
Relations Committee provides a fo
rum for resolving conflicts between
students and faculty members
which may arise with classroom or
course-related activities, policies
or procedures. The committee will
not consider cases involving ADA
compliance or any other matter it
deems inappropriate. This commit
tee is strictly an informal mediation
body which will forward recom
mendations for resolution to the
parties involved (with a copy to
the executive vice president and
provost).
Membership. The University
president appoints the committee
membership to two-year terms.
There are four faculty representa
tives (at least one from each col
lege) and four student representa
tives. The chair is chosen by the
committee membership.
Procedures
1.
If a student (or group of
students) wishes to raise an
issue related to a course which
he/she is taking or has taken
(normally within one semester),
the student should attempt to
resolve the issue at the stu
dent/ faculty, department head
or appropriate college dean
level. If the matter cannot be
resolved at the lowest pos
sible levels, the student may
appeal to the Student-Faculty
Relations committee informing
them of the problem. In excep
tional cases, the student may
approach the Student-Faculty
Relations Committee directly.
2.
To bring an issue before the
Student-Faculty Relations com
mittee, the student must notify
the Student-Faculty Relations
Committee in writing. This
document must clearly explain
the situation and include the stu
dent's name, current address, a
�message telephone number and
times when the student is avail
able to meet with the committee.
Supporting documentation may
be included as well. The writ
ten appeal should be submitted
directly to the committee chair.
The Executive Vice President
and Provost's Office will know
the name of tire committee chair.
3.
Once tire committee members
have had an opportunity to
review the student's concern,
they will conduct air informal
fact-finding process. As a part of
the process, the student will be
invited to meet with the com
mittee for further clarification.
This meeting will be 20 minutes
in length with 10 minutes of
question and answer by tire
committee. The other party will
also be invited to meet with the
committee following the same
fomrat. Both parties will then be
asked to meet together with tire
committee in an effort to foster
communication, clarification and
resolution. The most desirable
arrangement would be for this
step to occur at one setting. The
Lake Superior State University • 61
committee will strive to be as
expeditious as possible. There
may be extenuating circum
stances such as semester break or
summer recess.
4.
If there is no resolution after this
joint meeting of tire parties in
volved, or if the outcome of this
process is not acceptable to the
student or tire faculty member,
he/she may appeal to the execu
tive vice president and provost
of tire University.
5.
The committee will keep no
permanent records.

programs for students. Classroom
laboratories provide for instruction
that involves computers and/or

�The International University
College Division
of Lake Superior State University and Sault College
Lake Superior State University,
in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, and
Sault College, in Sault Ste. Marie,
Ontario, are just a 15-minute car
ride apart. In spite of being located
in different countries, our cities
are closer to each other than they
are to municipalities in their home
state or province. So, community
leaders encourage initiatives that
strengthen the ties between us and
take advantage of shared resourc
es. The belief is we have more to
offer by working together.
Lake Superior State University
and Sault College have enjoyed
a good working relationship for
many years. In 2001, some articu
lations were revitalized, new ones
were struck and it was decided
to establish the International
University College Division. The
division allows full-time students
in some program areas to be dualenrolled. In computer science/
studies, criminal justice or liberal
studies/teacher education, agree
ments have been signed which
encourage students to take ad
vantage of the diverse faculty and
resources available at both schools
as they pursue their degrees and/
or diplomas.
Getting involved in the Interna
tional Division is straightforward
— consult with the academic
department, fill in a Dual Enroll
ment Form and submit it to the
Registrar's Office. As a dual-en
rolled student, you are permitted
to take one course per semester
at the other school. Through the
extra advising available to you,
you can fit these courses into your
overall academic plan and semes
ter timetables. You register for all
courses through your home school
registrar and your academic infor-
mation is transferred automatically
at the conclusion of each semester.
As long as you meet the required
academic standards, you will con
tinue to enjoy these advantages of
attending both schools:
•
the combination of applied,
"hands-on" training and theo
retical understanding
•
more course choices
•
access to many of the stu
dent services and academic
resources (e.g. wider selec
tion of equipment, libraries,
student centers, peer tutoring,
etc.) available at both institu
tions
•
accessible professors through
small classes, labs and office
hours
•
interaction with fellow stu
dents from another country
— a good basis for a network
of contacts that can assist you
in your life's work ahead
•
greater employment options
and advancement opportunities
Dual-enrolled students pursuing
the bachelor of science in comput
er science or computer network
ing gain these particular benefits:
•
professors with a wide variety
of computer-based qualifica
tions and areas of expertise
•
exposure to, and opportunity
to work with, more types of
hardware and software than
would be available at either
institution on its own
•
plenty of equipment available
for hands-on experience
•
more than 70% of the major
courses with a lab component

•
opportunity to earn worldrecognized CISCO CCNA and
Microsoft MCSE certifications
•

Dual-enrolled students in the
criminal justice degree programs
benefit from the continuing educa
tion opportunities developed by
both schools for people currently
working in public safety. LSSU
does this through its academy,
providing MCOLES (Michigan

�General Education Mission Statement:
Lake Superior State University's curricular offerings integrate preparation for professional, technical and
disciplinary fields with study in general education to prepare students to lead lives as self-motivated
individuals and full participants in society. The general education program is designed to enhance students'
skills and interests in order to foster life-long learning and thoughtful living. General education courses
integrate knowledge to assist students to make connections between the content of their courses and the *
challenges they face as free and responsible citizens.
The outcomes of general education in which students are required to acquire proficiency are communication
skills, humanities, mathematics, and social and natural science.

Exceptions to Graduation
Requirements
Exceptions to specific general
education requirements may be
granted only by the Scholastic
Standards Committee. Such ex
ceptions are infrequently made. A
petition for exceptions to general
education requirements is initiated
with the assistant to the provost
for academic records.
Course substitutions and waivers
of departmental degree program
requirements may be granted only
by the chair of the school offering
the program (major or minor).
Normally, you will graduate
under the program degree require
ments in effect and published in
the Catalog at the time you are
admitted into the given degree
program, provided enrollment at
the University is continuous. If
enrollment is interrupted, or if
you select a new major, you must
satisfy program requirements in
effect at the time you reenter or of
ficially change to the new major. If
program requirements are revised
during your enrollment, you will
be allowed to graduate under the
new requirements pro-viding you
can meet such requirements in
their entirety.
The University reserves the right
to change the requirements for
graduation at any time as a means
of keeping pace with educational
developments affecting the vari
ous curricula. As such changes
are made, they may, at the discre
tion of the University, be applied
to students already enrolled. In
such cases, reasonable and pru
dent effort will be made to provide
the benefit of the new educational
program without imposing undue
hardship.

�Graduation Procedures
Degree candidacy procedure: Two
semesters before students plan to
complete degree requirements and
graduate, they must submit an
appropriate departmental degree
audit for each major and minor,
and a Declaration of Candidacy
for Degree to the assistant to the
provost for Academic Records. The
necessary forms are available at the
student's major departmental office.
The departmental Degree Audit for
a student's major or minor speci
fies all required courses that have
been or must be completed. The
audit must be signed by the chair
of the school offering the major or
minor program. Course substitu
tions and waivers of departmental
degree program requirements may
be granted only by the chair of the
school offering the major or minor
program. Exceptions to specific
general education requirements
may be granted only by the Scho
lastic Standards Committee. Such
exceptions are infrequently made.
A petition for exceptions to general
education requirements is initiated
with the assistant to the provost for
academic records.
The assistant to the provost checks
students' Degree Audits, after
which a preliminary verification
of the Degree Audit is sent to each
student and respective school chair.
Students are responsible for examin
ing this verification and requesting
clarification of anything that is not
consistent with their records or un
derstanding.
From the Declaration of Candi
dacy for Degree forms submitted by
students, a potential graduate list is
created for each semester. Names
for the commencement program and
diploma will be the official, legal
name as listed in the records of the
University. The names of students
who are listed in the annual com
mencement program are also com
piled from Declaration of Candidacy
for Degree forms. Students may
not be listed in the commencement
program unless their Degree Candi
dacy Form is filed with the assistant
to the provost six weeks prior to com
mencement. Students are expected
to attend commencement exercises
unless excused by the assistant to the
provost. Students completing degree
requirements during the summer
may participate in commencement
the previous semester if their degree
candidacy form is received six weeks
prior to commencement.
After grades are received at the end
of each semester, Degree Audits will
be updated for all students complet
ing credit and who have a Degree
Candidacy Form on file. When
all requirements specified on the
Degree Audit are fulfilled, the col
lege dean and/or school chair and
assistant to the provost give a final
approval. Names of these gradu
ates are then sent to the president for
approval by the Board of Trustees.
Subsequently, a diploma is provided
to each student.
Diploma charge: There is no charge
for the first diploma from the Uni
versity. A fee is charged for replace
ment diplomas.
Students completing graduation
requirements in the fall semes
ter or summer, or who otherwise
need documentation of completion
before their diploma is available,
may request a letter certifying that
they have completed degree re
quirements. Additionally, official
University transcripts will be sent to
any employer, graduate university,
or elsewhere, as requested by the
graduate. Official transcripts will not
be mailed to students.
Graduation with honors: Honors
graduates must earn at least 32 cred
its at Lake Superior State University.
Students who earn 3.50 to 3.69 will
graduate cum laude; 3.70 to 3.89,
Lake Superior State University • 69
�magna cum laude; 3.90 to 4.00,
summa cum laude.
Graduation diplomas with honors
will be awarded to baccalaureate
and associate's and certificate re
cipients. Honors medallions will be
awarded only to baccalaureate and
associate's degree recipients who
graduate summa cum laude.
Delinquent Accounts
Students with delinquent accounts
may be removed from class, have
their diploma withheld, and/or
have transcript requests denied.
Honors Degree
The University Honors Program
offers highly motivated students
the opportunity to develop their
abilities and skills in exciting and
innovative ways. The central goal
of the University honors pro
gram is to create a community of
scholars characterized by strong
student-faculty interaction around
the world of ideas. The honors
program fosters an approach to
education that incorporates the
qualities of active participation,
intellectual curiosity and an inter
disciplinary focus.
Selection is based upon a number
of factors, including: ACT scores,
high school grade point aver
age, application essay, personal
interview and Lake State faculty
nomination. Students invited to
participate in the program enroll
in courses designated for honors
credit. The courses are distrib
uted among the requirements for
general education, the student's
major, and the University honors
program and may include small
seminars or independent research
projects.
To graduate with an honors degree
in a program of study, the honors
student must have formal accep
tance into the University honors
program and have successfully
completed 21 honors credit hours
with an overall grade point aver
age of 3.3 or better at graduation.
The 21 honors credit hours are to
be distributed among the Univer
sity's requirements for general
education, the student's major and
the University honors program.
Upon graduation from the honors
program, the student will receive
an honors degree in his/her pro
gram of study. The honors degree
designation is indicated on the
student's diploma and is distinct
from graduating with honors (see
Graduation with Honors).

Managers guide and direct the
organization. Managers set goals

communicating, motivating and
leading personnel. Additionally,
an effective manager must design
programs to develop people's abili
ties and talents, understand the role
and impact of technology on the
organization and be aware of and
respond to social challenges both
domestically and internationally. A
career in management is both chal
lenging and rewarding.
The management major is de
signed to provide students with
a broad background in business

According to the 2000 Occupational
Employment and Wage Estimator,
more people are employed as
chemists and chemical technicians
than in any other job classification
in the life, physical and social
science occupations (http://stats.
bls.gov). Chemistry-related jobs
also lead this category in Michigan.
With many free electives and a
common general education core,
a chemistry degree can also be
used in combination with other
majors or minors such as pre-law,
engineering, literature, business,
biology, etc. to match student
interest and career plans.
Chemist — Works in business
and industry, and environmental
and commercial laboratories
conducting basic and applied
chemical analysis, research and
product development.
Pre-Professional
Graduates with a bachelor of arts in
chemistry work in many disciplines
and industries, and many proceed
on to graduate school in natural
sciences, law, engineering and
medicine. Internships in chemistry
are encouraged where students
can gain valuable real-world
work experience while gaining
college credit. In addition,
each student participates in an
applied research project in close
collaboration with faculty members
to address meaningful chemicalbased problems. These projects,
through the excellent preparation
they provide our students, are
often cited as important factors in
successful job searches and entry
into graduate programs.

Three-Year Degree
for aBSinCJ
following the
NRT Degree
Bachelor of Science
See Department of
Biology
Students with a particular interest in state and fed
eral laws enacted to protect our natural resources
and federal restrictions on the use of our renewable
resources should consider obtaining both an asso
ciate’s degree in natural resources technology (two
years) and a bachelor of science degree in criminal
justice (three additional years). The NRT degree will
provide the student with a good general background
in natural resources and the criminal justice degree
will allow the student to be fully qualified for many
different law enforcement opportunities. Jobs for
conservation law officers are limited, but the above
configuration of degrees prepares a student to be
highly competitive for openings that do occur.
Students selecting this course of study should work
closely with their advisor in order to complete both
degrees in the five-year span. After completing the
two-year NRT associate’s degree, students would
complete the following sequence of courses. This
plan assumes MCOLES certification and 92 ad
ditional hours following the NRT degree.

Program Description:
Career Descriptions:
The program is highlighted by indepth study in a subject major (or
dual minors for some elementary
candidates), extended teaching
communities of diverse learners
and scholarly inquiry. Students
earn a bachelor's degree and then
to become certified, participate in a
one-year teaching internship with
accompanying graduate course
work.
Elementary or Secondary
Teacher — Completion of fifthyear internship and graduate
course work qualifies students for
elementary or secondary teacher
certification in Michigan and
Ontario, as well as reciprocity with
many other states in the U.S.
While working toward completion
of a major, students take the first
two teacher education courses and
then apply for formal admission
to the program during their
sophomore year.
Details of current teaching
certificates, program requirements,
policies and procedures are
available via the University
website.
Program Completer
School Administrator or School
Counselor — A valid teaching
certificate and teaching experience
are recommended prerequisites
to becoming either a school
administrator or counselor.
Further course work and separate
certification are also required.
Educational Consultant or Trainer
— Trains personnel in industry on
new procedures and/or equipment
as needed. Also develops
curriculum for textbooks and/or
special programs for educational
institutions.
The Michigan Department of
Education identifies a "program
completer" as one who has
accomplished both (a) all
institutional academic and other
requirements such as to establish
eligibility for recommendation for
certification and (b) taken/passed
the minimum number of state
certification tests for the field of
teaching desired.

Student Profile:
Are you...
interested in art?
interested in performing?
interested in people?
The fine arts degree is for students
who have wide-ranging interests
in fine arts, and who wish to
explore and express their potential
through following a personalized
course of study. While students
will invariably participate in a
broad range of courses, they must
select two main areas of focus
(concentrations) from the following
six: graphic design, music, native
arts and culture, theater, visual arts
and writing.
Fine arts have been an important
aspect of the human experience
since first recorded history;
from African cave paintings to
Greek dramas, from Beethoven
symphonies to the writings of
Canadian playwrights. From the
study of fine arts we can gain an
understanding of various cultures
through their own indigenous
means of expression. Furthermore,
we can deepen our understanding
of our own culture by participation
in various contemporary art forms
(drama, music, painting, writing
etc.). Most important, by exploring
our own creative potential, we can
develop a better understanding of
ourselves.
Fine Arts Professional — Prepares
you for working as a managing
director of a department of music,
arts, theater or performance.
Teacher of Fine Arts — Develops
courses, maintains studios and
supplies, teaches in elementary
or secondary education fields or
community theaters.
Arts Entrepreneur — Performs
as a musician; is active in the
performing arts and theater;
and creates and sells crafts and
paintings.
Arts Organization Staff — Plans,
designs and implements programs
and services; assists with
administering programs, cultural
events and art galleries.
Marketing/Design — Works on
publications, displays, annual
exhibitions, educational programs,
craft fairs, galleries, museums and
sales.

Program Description:
This degree is designed to provide
both the necessary certifications to
enter the fire service and also the
general education and background
necessary for advancement to higher
rank and supervisory level.
There are three tracks a student may
pursue to obtain the degree.
Fire Science Generalist Emphasis
—This program is designed to pre
pare graduates for careers in the area
of fire protection, education, fire equip
ment service/supply and emergency
planning. Students may select a minor
of their choice. For those who are going
to pursue work in a career fire depart
ment, a minor in paramedic technol
ogy is strongly recommended. Others
may select a minor which is more
applicable to their own career aspira
tions such as management, computer
technology, public administration,
environmental science or other area.
Fire Science Hazardous Materials
Emphasis — This program combines
a major in fire science with a minor
in chemistry. A graduate with a de
gree in this emphasis may work in
the area of environmental protection
and quality, water quality, hazard
ous waste disposal, or hazardous
chemical mitigation/clean-up.
Positions are available in the private
and public sectors. In the case of fire
service, graduates may work as a
member or supervisor of a hazard
ous materials response team dealing
with an accident or release of dan
gerous products. Positions in emer
gency planning are also available.
With the continued emphasis on
homeland security and the threats of
a biological or chemical attack upon
a civilian population, readiness and
response are vital to saving lives.
Fire Science Engineering Emphasis
— The combination of fire science
and engineering courses provides a
graduate with the knowledge neces
sary to evaluate building plans and
designs from the standpoint of fire
behavior and safety. The design of
fire protective systems and alarms
is important to the protection of life
and property. There are also posi
tions available in firms and govern
mental organizations which conduct
materials testing and fire behavior
research. Graduates may also wish
to continue their education to obtain
a graduate degree. Professional
qualifications, such as that of Fire
Protection Engineer, or other state/
province designations, may also be
obtained.
Career Descriptions:
Firefighter — Works for fire depart
ments at the local, state and federal
levels; works for the armed forces
and the U.S. Department of the
Interior; suppresses structural and
other types of fires using a variety of
methods; acts as emergency medical

�Forensic Chemistry
Program Description:
Career Descriptions:
The B.S. in Forensic Chemistry
combines elements of criminal
justice and biology with a strong
chemistry program. The forensic
chemist analyzes and interprets
materials collected at crime scenes,
accidents, and at sites of terrorist
activities.
Laboratory Forensic Chemist —
Analyzes materials collected at
crime scenes, interprets analytical
data for prosecuting attorneys,
criminal justice personnel, and
insurance company investigators.
The degree is offered in response
to strong student, state and local
government demand for an
undergraduate academic program
to prepare students for careers
in forensic chemistry. According
to the 2002 Occupational Outlook
Handbook, only about 20 colleges
and universities nationwide
offer bachelor degree programs
in forensic technology, while the
growth of jobs in this area of study
is expected to steadily increase.
Graduates with a bachelor of
science in forensic chemistry
work in forensic laboratories for
federal, state, or local government
agencies or in some cases, work for
private investigative laboratories.
Some graduates may also go on to
pursue a graduate degree.
Crime Scene Investigator —
Evaluates and collects evidence
at crime scenes, performs field
chemical analyses.

�Geology
Program Description:
Geology examines the dynamic
Earth and its physical, chemical
and biologic history. It involves
the study of changes that are tak
ing and have taken place and the
forces that cause these changes. For
example, geologists interpret the
movements of the continents over
geologic time and the formation
of mountains, volcanoes and other
features of the Earth's surface. Ge
ologists attempt to understand our
physical environment from which
we derive most of the natural
resources essential to civilization.
They investigate the processes that
led to the formation of mineral de
posits, and oil, gas and coal. They
also study environmental change
throughout the history of the Earth
and how those changes and the
development of life are related. Ge
ologists attempt to predict natural
disasters such as earthquakes, vol
canic eruptions, and landslides, and
they are very active in modeling
groundwater flow to develop water
reserves for municipalities and to
protect groundwater from contami
nation. Geologists study the natural
world and apply their knowledge
to achieve harmony between the
human race and its environment.
Career Descriptions:
Energy Fuels Exploration
Geologist — Searches worldwide
for petroleum, gas, coal. Career
opportunities are with integrated
energy fuels exploration companies
and government agencies.
Mineral Exploration and
Production Geologist — Studies
the origin, occurrences and extrac
tion of metallic and non-metallic
mineral resources such as gold,
iron, uranium, diamonds, day and
limestone. Career opportunities are
with many different kinds of com
panies and government agencies.

of manufacturing engineering
technology, the program places an
emphasis in the application of com
puter systems to modem manufac
turing. This includes topics such
as robotics, computer-aided design
(CAD), programmable logic con
trollers (PLC), and computer-aided
manufacturing (CAM). The classes
and labs in the curriculum average
about 15 students and are taught by
faculty who are dedicated to under
graduate teaching excellence.
Students pursuing the B.S. degree
in manufacturing at LSSU have the
option to specialize in robotics and
automation. LSSU is one of only
three universities in the U.S. to offer
the robotics specialization in the
TAC of ABET-accredited* manufac
turing engineering technology B.S.
degree. LSSU is home to one of the
best robotics educational facilities
in North America. Graduates with
this emphasis have had nearly 100
percent job placement with high
and competitive starting salaries.
Your emphasis of study in this
option will be identified on your
transcripts.
A scientific "high technology"

Program Description:
Career Descriptions:
Mathematics:
Operations Research Analyst —
Helps organizations operate as
efficiently as possible through
the application of mathematical
principles to organizational
problems.
Many who major in the field of
mathematics combine those studies
with education courses and obtain
employment as teachers. People
with mathematics degrees are
found in a broad range of occupa
tions where quantitative skills are
needed; one of the largest employ
ers of mathematics is the National
Security Agency. Often a minor
field of study (such as computer
science) provides the supporting
credential for entry-level jobs.
Actuarial and Business
Applications:
The actuarial and business applica
tions option combines mathemati
cal knowledge with quantitative
business applications. The result
is a very marketable degree that
provides many exciting career
opportunities for graduates. A stu
dent should be prepared to take the
first actuarial examination in the
spring of his/her junior year and
the second examination the follow
ing spring. A student choosing this
emphasis will complete a minor in
accounting-finance.
Teaching degrees — A comple
tion of a fifth-year internship and
graduate course work qualifies
you for elementary or secondary
teacher certification in Michigan
and Ontario, as well as reciprocity
with several other states.
Graduate school — An undergrad
uate mathematics major with em
phasis on abstraction, together with
an analytical approach to problem
solving, continues to provide
strong preparation for graduate
work in diverse fields — especially
when combined with a minor in the
related field.
Statistician — Government
agencies such as the Bureau of
Labor employ statisticians to
monitor the consumer price index,
employment statistics and the like.
Industries use statisticians in their
efforts to forecast future needs, to
implement quality control, and
to design information-gathering
strategies.
Research Assistant —
Mathematicians are sometimes
needed as members of a multi
discipline research team,
responsible for creating a
mathematical model of a realworld process or context, which
then is used to help solve problems
of interest to the team's efforts.

�Political Science
Program Description:
Career Descriptions:
Political science is the systematic
study of government, politics and
public policy. It is one of a number
of liberal arts majors that prepare
students for a broad range of career
opportunities.
With the skills they acquire in
writing, speaking, analysis, critical
thinking and leadership, political
science majors are able to pursue
a wide variety of career options
(some of which require additional
education).
Political science majors choose one
of four tracks or concentrations:
general political science, pre-law,
public administration or secondary
teaching. Each concentration
provides a combination of
knowledge and skills especially
appropriate for those with
particular career goals. However,
choosing one concentration over
the others does not limit you to a
particular career path — each of the
tracks provides a solid grounding
in political science and a broad
liberal arts background.
General education requirements
and sufficient elective credits must
be completed so that at least 124
semester credits have been earned.
Other Qualifications — Graduate
degrees are required for some
positions; thus, a law degree is
required for work as an attorney
and a Ph.D. is required for
appointment to permanent teaching
and research positions in colleges
and universities.
A sample of typical occupations
includes:
Bachelor of Science
Bachelor of Arts
Tracks:
General
Pre-Law
Public Administration
Secondary Teaching
Attorney — Represents clients in
private practice, in small or large
law firms; represents corporations,
labor unions, trade associations
or governments as a salaried
employee; serves as a prosecutor or
public defender; serves as a judge.
Requires the completion of a law
degree following college.

General Track
Bachelor of Arts or
Bachelor of Science
The general political science concentration is
designed to provide a broad education in political
science. It is most appropriate for students who
plan to attend graduate school in political science
and for those with an interest in government and
politics who wish to get a broad, liberal education.
Students who continue their education in graduate
school most often pursue careers as professors,
researchers, consultants or government officials.
Students who do not pursue graduate study
choose from a wide variety of career options in
government, politics, teaching, journalism and

The public administration concentration is most
appropriate for students who plan to work in
an administrative capacity in public agencies or
nonprofit organizations with public missions.
Students who choose this option are preparing for
careers of public service. Such careers may be
pursued through positions in government agen
cies at the local, state or provincial, and national
levels. Other positions may be found in nonprofit
organizations involved in public concerns, such
as Common Cause, the Environmental Defense
Fund, and the Michigan Health Council. Some of
these careers of public service may be pursued
with only a bachelor’s degree. Others may require
completion of a master’s degree in public administration or a related field.

There is essentially a three-step process
in becoming a licensed attorney. First,
an individual must complete an un
dergraduate degree at a college or uni
versity. Second, one must then go on
to law school to obtain a juris doctor
degree. Finally, successful completion
of the state bar exam is required for
licensure. In being admitted into law
school, the two most important factors
that are evaluated by most law schools
are undergraduate grades and Law
School Admission Test (LSAT) scores
— an entrance exam required of nearly
all law schools in the United States and
some in Canada.
The American Bar Association and
most law schools do not recommend
any particular undergraduate major
before going on to law school. Con
sequently, a student should choose
a major in which he/she has both
interest and aptitude. Yet, there are
important skills, values, and certain
knowledge that can be acquired prior
to law school which will assist a stu
dent in being successful at law school.
Such values and knowledge include:
analytical and problem-solving skills,
critical reading abilities, writing skills,
oral communication and listening abil
ities, research skills, task organization
and management skills, ethical values,
and, of course, knowledge of the law.
In fact, a prelaw minor is available at
LSSU which consists of courses that
will assist a prelaw student in further
developing these skills, values and
knowledge.
Since there is no required prelaw
major, the American Bar Association
and law schools strongly recommend
that law school bound students contact
the Prelaw Advisor at their university
as early in the educational process
as possible. At LSSU, our approach
to advising prelaw students is very
individualized. We want to help each
student fulfill their goals and to be suc
cessful at law school and beyond.
The Prelaw Advisor at LSSU can
provide individualized guidance with
regard to selecting an undergraduate
curriculum (both a major and a minor);
recommending particular courses that
will enhance necessary skills, values
and knowledge; assisting in the law
school admission process; and provid
ing relevant career and professional
trend information.
Although there is no recommended or
required prelaw curriculum, there are
some excellent options that students
may want to consider at LSSU. The
following LSSU programs include
key components with regard to legal
knowledge as well as writing, analyti
cal and research skills:
• Business Administration-Legal
Management (major)
• Legal Assistant Studies (major)
• Political Science—Prelaw Concen
tration (major)
• Prelaw (minor)
Students should seek guidance from
LSSU's Prelaw Advisor as early as
possible to ensure they are individu
ally counseled with regards to their
respective interests, undergraduate
curriculum choice, as well as personal
and professional goals.
Career Description:
Attorney — Quite simply, attor
neys practice law. What that means
depends upon the legal (or non-legal)
work environment that one ultimately
chooses, along with the area(s) of law
in which one practices. The opportuni
ties are endless given the various work
environments and the numerous areas
of law in which one can specialize.
For instance, lawyers practice within
private law practices; public interest
groups; governmental agencies (feder
al, state, tribal or local); courts; business
and industry (e.g., insurance compa
nies, financial institutions, corpora
tions, hospitals, public relation firms,
political campaigns, labor unions, and
trade associations); academics (as a law
professor, law librarian or administra
tor); or in various non-legal careers
such as the media, law enforcement,
business, public relations, foreign
service, or politics. In addition, within
many of these varied work environ
ments, there are numerous areas of law
in which one may specialize.

�Pre-Pharmacy
(transfer program)
Program Description:
Career Descriptions:
Most pharmacy schools require stu
dents to take two years of pre-phar
macy preparation prior to being
admitted to their four-year profes
sional program. Admission into the
professional pharmacy programs is
very competitive and is based, to a
large extent, on grades in specific
required courses. Many pharmacy
colleges also require applicants to
take the Pharmacy College Admis
sion Test (P.C.A.T.). This exam is
generally taken mid-way through
your second pre-pharmacy year.
Community Pharmacist — Practic
es in local pharmacies, professional
health centers, hospitals, nursing
homes or neighborhood health
centers.
Pre-pharmacy requirements vary
greatly between different colleges
that offer professional programs in
pharmacy. In general, most require
a pre-pharmacy program that em
phasizes math and science as well
as strong communication skills.
Recently, a majority of the nation's
schools began to move toward
awarding the doctor of pharmacy
(Pharm.D.) as the only professional
degree in pharmacy. Because many
pharmacy curricula are currently
being modified, pre-pharmacy
requirements are also subject to
change.
The modifications in professional
pharmacy curricula, combined with

Program Description:
Spanish is spoken by the third largest
group of the world's population today
—250 million people. The Spanish
B.A. program at LSSU is designed
to give students the opportunity to
acquire Spanish language proficiency
in listening, speaking, reading and
writing. The program will introduce
Spanish majors to prominent histori
cal, social and artistic developments of
Spanish speaking countries.
Preparation for Graduate School —
Students who earn a B.A. in Span
ish at LSSU may apply for graduate
school to pursue advanced stud
ies in Spanish as either a major or
minor.
Students successfully completing their
Spanish major studies will improve
their skills in critical reading, analytic
writing, communication and linguistic
awareness. In addition, they will devel
op understanding of, and appreciation
for, diversity and cultural difference
through immersion into the history,
culture, and art of Spanish speaking
countries.
International Business, Diplo
macy and Law — In an increasingly
global society, the ability to speak
both English and Spanish provides
students with marketable skills to
function well in the world of inter
national trade. Developing Spanish
skills beyond the level of minimal
language requirement classes
greatly increases career opportu
nities for individuals in the areas
of business, law, technology, and
international relations. The global
expansion of American companies
creates a demand for those who are
able to function and communicate
effectively in international settings.
The program will prepare students
for the communicative and culturally
aware use of the Spanish language in
careers related to international rela
tions, business, communication and
cultural exchange. Students with a
degree in Spanish will gain market
able linguistic skills to work in areas of
public service with bilingual or Span
ish speaking populations in the United
States.
Communication — The process
of learning a foreign language and
understanding its embeddedness
in a rich cultural and social context
of diverse human efforts provides
Spanish majors with a complex and
comprehensive educational experi
ence. Graduates will find an array of
business related job opportunities in
publishing, editing, the media, the
arts, and communication.
Career Descriptions:
Spanish Teaching and ESL—Af
ter successful completion of state
requirements and certification,
students with a B.A. in Spanish are
eligible to teach Spanish in elemen
tary as well as secondary education.
In addition, students may choose
from job opportunities in the wid
ening field of English as a Second
Language (ESL), teaching English to
students in both the United States
and in Spanish speaking countries.

Student Profile:
Are you...
committed to the diligence to enjoy
a long-range challenge?
interested in various forms of
linguistic expression?
fond of literature by authors from
diverse cultural backgrounds?
Travel and Tourism — Mexico is,
and for the past 20 years has been,
the number one foreign destination
for Americans. Consequently, there
is a large demand for bilingual pro
fessionals in tourism and travel.
Domestic Careers in Public Services
— As the latest USA census data
show, the number of Spanish speak
ers is on the rise. As a result, there is
a need for college-educated people
able to effectively communicate
with bilingual or Spanish-speaking
population in various areas of public
service.

�Legal Assistant Studies
Program Description:
The legal assistant profession is one of
the occupations projected to grow the

to the U.S. Department of Labor. A
legal assistant (or paralegal) is a valued
member of the legal team and works
under the supervision of attorneys.
This program is approved by the
American Bar Association and is
designed to train qualified legal assis

tor; (2) a two-year associate's degree
in legal assistant studies; (3) a post
baccalaureate (one-year) certificate
in legal assistant studies (which is
available to students who already
have a bachelor's degree in some
other discipline and wish to make a
career change or advancement); or
(4) a minor in legal assistant stud
ies which can complement various
majors (and may also be helpful
to students who are planning on
attending law school). The require
ments for these programs are based
upon the guidelines of the National
Association of Legal Assistants.

The natural resources technology
program stresses the acquisition
of field skills necessary for suc
cess in a natural resources center,
as well as the theoretical founda
tions for these skills. This practical
knowledge is enriched by course
materials which emphasize com
munication skills along with the
links between society, economics,
policy and the natural resource
base. This program can be taken
as a stand alone two-year program,
can constitute the first half of the
bachelor of science in parks and
recreation management, or it can be
used in conjunction with a threeyear criminal justice program to
prepare a student for a career in
conservation law.
All natural resource technology
students are strongly encouraged to
participate in at least one summer
of work or volunteer experience in
the natural resource field to gain
the professional experience and
contacts they will need to begin
their careers.
Continuing education to bache
lor's degree program — The high
degree of competition in the natu
ral resource field makes the pur
suit of a bachelor's degree highly
desirable. Programs which join
well with the NRT degree are the
parks and recreation management
degree, the fisheries & wildlife
degree and the 2+3 criminal justice
degree programs. These programs
lead to careers such as conserva
tion officer, park naturalist, expe
dition leader, guide or recreation
specialist.
Career Description:
Natural Resource Technician
— Forestry, wildlife, fisheries and
park technicians are responsible for
data collection and other hands-on
work in either the public or private
sector.

The Native Studies of the Americas minor
is designed to provide valuable historical
and contemporary information about Native
culture and society. The courses in the
Native Studies of the Americas minor reflect
the Native experience throughout North
and South America, but focus on issues of
importance to Native peoples in the Great
Lakes region.
The Nati4ve Studies of the Americas minor
is appropriate for students majoring in a
wide variety of subjects who may or may
not be Native themselves, but expect to
work in a Native setting or in an area with a
high Native population. Students who are
simply interested in and wish to explore the
Native cultures in our area will also benefit
from this program.

dilemmas, and potential individual responses
to an absurd and inhuman world. Prerequisite:

PL215 Ethical Theory and Practice
3
(3,0)
Certain actions seem to be demanded by morality
and certain actions seem to be prohibited by
morality. In addition, there are many actions
in which we have difficulty extending praise or
blame. The study of Ethical Theory constitutes
the study of philosophers’ evaluations of
behavior, character, and even the terms of such
evaluation (e.g., ‘goodness,’ ‘value,’ ‘right,1 and
‘obligation’). This course will examine the ethical
theories of philosophers such as Plato, Aristotle,
Kant, Bentham, and Mill as well as contemporary
applications of ethical theories. Topics such
as terrorism, ethics in the professions, the
environment, and religiously motivated behavior
art timely and appropriate topics for evaluating
the connections between moral reasoning and
our modes of living. Prerequisite: EN111.

PL250 Philosophy of Religion

This course examines the rational foundations

we will focus our inquiry on the God of Judaism,
Christianity, and Islam who is thought to possess
the qualities of omniscience, omnipotence, and
beneficence. (We will, however, exposit the
deities Hinduism and Buddhism to put our study
in context.) Can we prove that God exists? What
might we owe God? How can we explain the
existence of evil even though God is thought
to be wholly good? What place does religion
have in a pluralistic society? The history of
Western Philosophy is in large part unified by
the common pursuit of such questions. Not only
are the questions themselves fascinating and
perplexing, but also, they have been answered
in inventive ways by many extraordinary
thinkers, the Philosophy of Religion is, therefore,
a continuing search that has a much to do
with human ingenuity as it does about God.

philosophers grappled with new ways
to understand logic, ethics, gender, and
subjective experience. Students will learn to

of experiencing the world and the sometimes
subtle ways that philosophers since Descartes
have influenced their understanding of their
experiences. Prerequisite: EN111.

Established in 1946 to address the
needs of returning World War II
veterans and to provide educa
tional opportunities to the people
of the Eastern Upper Peninsula,
Lake Superior State University still
embodies the essence of the early
days. A personal education in a
safe and friendly environment
remains a hallmark of today's
LSSU.
Our beautiful 115-acre campus
overlooks the Michigan and
Ontario twin cities of Sault Ste.
Marie, the St. Mary's River, and the
world famous Soo Locks. The
school is located at the beginning
of Interstate 75 which ends in the
Florida Keys.
The campus served as Ft. Brady
starting in 1894 after the fort was
relocated from the banks of the St.
Mary's. The fort was deactivated in
1944 and, thanks to the efforts of
local volunteers and leadership at
Michigan College of Mining &
Technology in Houghton, opened
in the fall of that year as the Sault
Ste. Marie Residence Center of
MCMT.
The Sault Branch was rechristened
Lake Superior State College of
Michigan Technical University in
1966. Autonomy arrived for LSSC
in 1970. University status was
granted in 1987 to the state's
smallest public institution of
higher learning. Enrollment has
grown from the original class of
272 to more than 3,400 students.
There are 14 buildings on the
National Historic Register contrib
uting to the University's sense of
tradition. This unique architectural
blend is a reminder of the "weap
ons to plowshares" history of the
setting.
Community: Sault Ste. Marie (pop.
18,000) is one of the oldest cities in
North America, having begun as a
fur trading center in the early 17th
century. A Jesuit mission was
established here in 1641, and
Father Marquette founded the first
permanent settlement 27 years
later, within the boundaries of
what was to become Michigan. The
Sault celebrated its 300th birthday
in 1968.
Our sister city, Sault Ste. Marie,
Ontario, is a cultural, recreational,
social and entertainment center.
The combined population of the
Twin Saults (98,000) allows for an
international flavor abounding
with the opportunities of a city,
and the safety and comfort of a
small town.

�Expectations
for Student Learning
Lake Superior State University
utilizes a Student Academic
Achievement Plan developed by
the faculty to enhance continuous
quality improvement and to meet
the Assessment Initiative of the
Commission on Institutions of
Higher Education, North Central
Association of Colleges and
Schools. The intent of this plan is
to document student learning at
Lake Superior State University
both in the major program and
across the general education
requirements. This continuous
evaluation process works to assure
high quality teaching and effective
student learning. The faculty at
Lake Superior State University
have collectively agreed upon the
characteristics of the educated
person the institution hopes to
graduate and have identified
outcomes that can be used to
document these attributes. The
following are areas that the faculty
have deemed essential to a liberal
education and have value for the
students in their lives as respon
sible citizens: communication
skills, mathematics, computer
literacy, critical thinking, ethics,
aesthetics, cultural diversity, and
science and technology. Students
who complete the general educa
tion courses at Lake Superior State
University will be able to demon
strate attributes of the general
education outcomes.
Students attending Lake Superior
State University can expect com
mitment by the University to
document and enhance student
learning. Through the assessment
process, the University demon
strates its commitment to improv
ing student learning and ensures
that when students graduate they
have attained specific attributes
and abilities.
Lake Superior State University
expects a commitment on the part
of its students to actively partici
pate in the learning process.

Please familiarize yourself with the
academic policies described in this
catalog. They will help you obtain
your educational objectives.
Faculty advisors, staff and admin
istration will also help you negoti
ate your way through these poli
cies — seek their advice whenever
you have questions!
The Academic Year
Lake Superior State University
operates on a semester system.
There are two regular 15-week
semesters (fall and spring) which
begin in August or September and
end in April or May. The summer
semester consists of classes offered
in two six-week sessions, or one 12week session. Starting and ending
dates are listed on page 357 of this
catalog.
Academic Credit
One credit is earned after complet
ing 15 hours of classroom instruc
tion in lecture/recitation courses.
For example, a three-credit course
might be scheduled 9-9:50 a.m.
Monday, Wednesday and Friday
for 15 weeks plus one week for
exams. Laboratory classes, field
work or other non-lecture classes
meet for more than one hour a
week per credit.
You should expect to spend two
hours of study or class preparation
for each hour spent in class.
Sixteen credits are the average load
of full-time students. A minimum
of 124 credits is required for all
baccalaureate degrees; a minimum
of 62 hours is required for an
associate's degree.
Student Curriculum
Choice and Advising
When you apply for admission,
you are asked to declare a major.
The major you declare will deter-
mine which major department you
are in and the academic advisor
assigned to you. Please get to
know your advisor well and meet
with him/her often to get help in
class selection, degree progress and
career advice. You may change
your major curriculum by process
ing a Curriculum Change Card
through the Registrar's Office. The
Registrar's Office, Counseling
Center and departmental offices
have the card and instructions.
Curriculum change cards must be
filed with the Registrar's Office for
each curriculum change.
If you are unsure of your major,
you will be assigned to the Liberal
Arts major and the advisor as
signed to you will be a Liberal Arts
faculty member. The Learning
Center and the Counseling Center
can also provide you with major
advice and counseling.
If you are provisionally admitted
to Lake Superior State University,
an academic advisor from the
Learning Center is assigned. You
will keep this advisor until your
admission status changes and you
are admitted to your full-time
major program.
Semester Course
Selection
Before the end of each semester,
you must sign up for courses for
the next semester. One to two
weeks before scheduling, schedule
booklets listing the courses, times,
dates and locations will be avail
able in departmental offices, the
Center for Student Services and
other locations around campus.
You need to pick up a schedule
booklet, read the instructions for
scheduling and meet with your
advisor to select courses for the
next semester.
You must sign up for classes for the
semester in which you will be
doing the actual work.
10 • Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2211
�Please read the schedule booklet
carefully as it has dates for sched
uling according to class level, dates
for tuition payments, and informa
tion regarding prerequisites,
corequisites and other course
requirements.
It is your responsibility to ensure
that the classes you take count
toward your degree program. You
may, however, be required to take
remedial courses (course numbers
beginning with "0", such as
MA081), which will not count
toward graduation.
Test Scores: When you apply for
admission, you will send your ACT
score to Lake Superior State
University. Your score determines
the level of English, math and
reading classes into which you will
be placed. If you have been out of
high school more than 26 months
and have not taken the ACT, you
can take placement tests at the
Testing/Counseling Center at Lake
State to determine your placement
in English, math and reading.
Maximum credit load: You may
carry up to 20 credits per semester.
You may take more credits if you
have a 3.00 GPA or higher and
have written approval from the
dean of your school. Students on
academic probation should not
take more than 15 credits.
Prerequisites: Many courses
require that you complete English,
math, reading or other preliminary
classes before signing up to take
these courses. If you have not met
the prerequisite, you may be
dropped from the class during the
regular drop period with an N
grade or not allowed to sign up for
the class. Some courses require
that you earn a C or better in
prerequisite courses before sched
uling for the next course. Excep
tions may be made only by the
dean of your college or the instruc
tor of the subsequent class.
Repeats: You may repeat a class in
which you earn a grade other than
"W" or "N" only twice without
special permission and only under the
following conditions:
1.
Courses transferred from other
institutions are included in this
policy.
2.
Both the original and repeat
grades will show on the
transcript, but hours earned
toward graduation will only
count once.
3.
For the purpose of calculating
the cumulative grade point
average, only the grade of the
last attempt will be used, if the
last class was taken at LSSU. If
you transfer in a class to repeat
a class from LSSU, the LSSU
grade will be removed from
your grade point average.
4.
To repeat a course more than
twice, the student must attain
the permission of the course
instructor and the dean of the
college offering that course.
Permission is granted only
under exceptional circum
stances.
When repeating a course, you
should check the R (repeat) column
of the Course Registration Form.
This policy began fall 2001 for all
new students either as transfer or
new freshman.
Failed Classes: If you fail a class
required for your degree program,
you must repeat the class and
receive a passing grade. If the
failed class is no longer offered
because of program changes and/
or course deletions, the academic
dean can substitute another similar
class.
Drop/add period: You may change
your class schedule during the first
six (6) days of each semester.
Courses you drop during the
drop/add period will not appear
on your permanent record. You
must get an instructor's signature
to schedule a course that is full or
to waive a prerequisite require
ment.
Your add or withdrawal from a
course is not officially complete
Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2211 • 11
�until the appropriate form is
completed in the Center for Stu
dent Services. It's a good idea to
retain the official receipt upon
completion of any add or drop.

Late adds: If you wish to add a
class after the six-day drop/add
period, you must first get a Late
Add Form from the Registrar's
Office, and then get the instructor's
signature. Return your Late Add
Form to the Registrar's Office.
Non-attendance of the first class:
Your instructor may drop you from
a course if you do not attend or if
you do not call the instructor
before classes begin. The course
instructor will fill out a drop form
and notify you if you are dropped
from the course.
Dropping after the add/delete
period: You may drop a course
during the first 40 days of a full
semester (the last day to drop a
class is shown in the schedule book
and in the calendar of this book).
Your record will show an "N"
grade and your GPA will not be
affected.
To drop a class after the eight-week
drop requires extenuating circum
stances, and you must obtain a
Withdrawal Form. You must:
1.
Complete the form (including
listing a reason for the drop).
2.
Get the instructor's signature
and the instructor's recom
mendation.
3.
Bring the completed form to
the dean (of the class they are
dropping), for their review and
decision.
4.
If the dean approves the drop,
the student must then bring
the form back to the registrar
for processing.
A W grade will appear on your
permanent record and will not
affect your GPA.
Class attendance: Regular class
attendance and active participation
in classes are important elements in
the learning process. You are at the
University primarily for the sake of
intellectual growth and develop
ment. Attendance and participa
tion provide appropriate opportu
nities for the evaluation of your
progress.
You are personally responsible for
the satisfactory completion of the
course work prescribed by your
instructors. This means that you
are expected to attend classes
regularly, and that you are respon
sible for the work assigned in class,
the material covered in class and
for participation in class activities
(including discussion and listen
ing) designed by the instructor as
part of the learning experience.
However, mere physical atten
dance should not be a criterion for
evaluation of your performance.
Participation in an official Univer
sity function is an excused absence
when approved by the provost.
You will not be penalized for such
participation. You are responsible
for work missed and must confer
with your instructor on this matter.
Complete withdrawal: If you are a
full-time student and drop all of
your classes during the first eight
weeks of the semester, you may be
eligible for tuition refund. To
receive any refund, fill out a
Withdrawal Form at the Center for
Student Services. This office will
authorize your refund from the
Business Office. (Please check the
schedule book for the refund
policy.)
Before leaving, be sure you have
cleared any holds on your records
so you can return at a later date or
have transcripts of your academic
records sent out.
Grading System
Grade Point Average (GPA): To
calculate your GPA for a semester,
divide the total points earned by
the total credits carried. Credits
carried include those earned or
failed but not those classes taken
for credit/no credit. Cumulative
GPA is calculated by dividing total
12 • Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2211
�points earned by the number of
credits carried in all semesters. If
you repeat a course, count only the
credits carried and the points of the
last grade earned. Just the grade of
your last attempt is calculated in
your GPA.
A cumulative GPA of 2.00 for all
credits is required for graduation.
Further, a 2.00 cumulative grade
point average for all credits in
major and minor(s) is required.
Some programs require a higher
GPA in the major curriculum.
Incomplete grades (I): An incom
plete "I" grade can be issued in the
case of extenuating circumstances
beyond the control of the student
that prevent completion of course
requirements. Examples of extenu
ating circumstances may include
health issues, death of a parent/
spouse/child, or military service.
Appropriate documentation is
required. An "I" grade can be
issued in a course, that by design,
cannot be completed in one semes
ter. You must make up the work by
the date specified by the instructor.
If a date is not given, the student
will have a maximum of two
semesters (excluding summer
semesters) to complete the require
ments for removing the "I" grades.
Two semesters after the issuance of
the "I" grade, if the professor has
not completed a Grade Change
Form or requested an extension,
the Registrar's Office will change
the "I" grade to an "F" grade.
N and W grades: These grades are
given to those classes that you
have officially dropped N or
withdrawn W.
Grade reports: Grades and credit
reports are mailed to your perma
nent home address after each
semester.
Grade change: You may request
your instructor to review and
change a grade within two semes
ters after completion. The instruc
tor fills in and sends a Grade
Change Form to the Registrar's
Office.

*Students will not be dismissed for academic deficiencies until they have
enrolled in at least 19 QHRS at Lake Superior State University. QHRS are the
cumulative hours used in figuring the grade point average. Classes not at the
100 level or above are not counted in the QHRS. Classes with grades ofCR/
NCR are not counted in the QHRS..
**A cumulative grade point average of 2.00 for all credits carried at Lake Superior
State University, and a cumulative grade point average of 2.00 for all courses
required in the student's major and minor is necessary for graduation.
Dean's List: Full-time students
carrying at least 12 graded credits
of college-level courses (100 level
or above) in a semester with a
grade point average of 3.5 or
higher, and not having any incom
plete (I) grades, will earn Dean's
List honors, which acknowledge
outstanding academic achieve
ment. If you have an incomplete (I)
grade, you may take steps to
resolve the grade. Once you
resolve the grade, notify the
Provost's Office if your grade point
average is 3.50 or higher for the
semester. Upon your notification,
the Provost's Office will verify
your record, send you a letter of
congratulations, and notify the
Public Relations Office for press
release purposes.
Academic probation: This is a
warning that scholastic perfor
mance is below the University's
minimum requirements. During
this probationary period, you will
be allowed to carry only up to 15
credits each semester (band and
Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2211 • 13
�recreational activities are not
included in the 15 credits).
1.
Academic probation is in effect
if vour cumulative grade point
average is in the "on proba
tion" category.
2.
If your cumulative GPA falls
into the dismissal range, you
will be dismissed.
3.
Summer may count for one
semester.
After a first or second dis
missal, you have the following
options:
a. Sit out two semesters
(summer can be counted as
one semester) before re
enrolling.
b. Petition the Scholastic
Standards Committee for
immediate readmittance.
This action is initiated with
the assistant to the provost
for academic records. Call
1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2012
or 906-635-2012 The
committee can either
permit early readmittance
with specific conditions
required or deny the
request. Further appeal
can be made to the provost,
whose decision is final.
4.
5.
Students who continue after a
dismissal will be dismissed
again after any semester in
which their cumulative grade
point average falls in the
dismissal category. The
assistant to the provost for
academic records may allow
the student to continue "on
probation" with the record
showing "on probation"
instead of "dismissal", if the
student's record has shown
improvement during the
semester and the student has a
2.00 GPA in courses carried for
that semester.
A student dismissed for the
third time can not be reinstated
without permission of the
provost. Three semesters must
elapse from the time of dis
missal before a petition for
readmittance is considered.
6.
The Scholastic Standards
Committee may, on the recom
mendation of a college dean,
provost or vice president for
Student Programs and Ser
vices, dismiss students from
the University if their academic
progress, conduct or attitude
toward their work is deemed
unsatisfactory.
Credit/No Credit
Courses
You may enroll in some courses on
a credit/no credit basis if you are
in good academic standing. The
following conditions exist:
1.
One course per semester may
be taken as credit/no credit.
2.
Only 12 credits of courses
taken as credit/no credit may
be applied toward a degree.
3.
Courses that are required by
your major, minor, or that are
general education courses, can
not be taken for credit/no
credit.
4.
You apply at the Registrar's
Office to enroll for a credit/no
credit course during the drop/
add period; cannot change to
regular grades after the drop/
add period ends.
5.
You maintain a 2.00 C average
in a course to receive a CR
grade.
6.
Instructors are not notified that
you are taking a course as
credit/no credit; the CR or
NCR credit is assigned based
on the grade your instructor
submits.
Certain courses are always offered
with a credit/no credit format.
These courses have this informa
tion in the official course descrip
tion and course syllabi. The policy
and limitations outlined above do
not apply to these courses.

�Cheating and
Plagiarism:
The assumption of the academic
contract is that the student does his
or her own work: any breach of
the contract is considered cheating.
The faculty member who detects a
student cheating may take appro
priate action, such as assigning a
failing grade for the entire course.
A student who cheats is subject to
dismissal from the University. If,
in the opinion of the faculty
member involved, such action is
warranted, he or she will notify the
chairman of the Scholastic Stan
dards Committee and the student
in writing. The Scholastic Stan
dards Committee will then conduct
a hearing in such a manner that the
student is given due process. If the
committee decides that dismissal is
warranted, the student shall have
five school days to appeal that
decision to the provost of the
University.
Credit by
Examination
departmental examinations. The
credits earned by examination
appear as transfer credits on your
transcript. Some universities may
not accept this type of credit for
transfer.

for both CLEP examination and
Section 438 of the General Educa
tion Provisions Act, as amended,
sets forth the requirements to be
met by an educational institution
to protect the privacy of students.
This act is called the Family
Educational Rights and Privacy Act
and shall be referred to hereafter as
the Act. The Act generally governs
access to student educational
records and the release of such
records. The Act also requires that
institutions of higher education
must provide students access to
official records directly related to
the student and an opportunity for
a hearing to challenge such records
on the grounds that they are
inaccurate, misleading or inappro
priate. Educational institutions
must also obtain written consent
before releasing personally identifi
able data about students from
records to other than a specified
list of exceptions. In addition,
students must be notified of these
rights.
Lake Superior State University
shall not as a matter of policy or
practice:
1.
Deny or prevent students at
the University the right to
inspect or review the educa
tional records of such students,
or
2.
Permit the release of educa
tional records contrary to the
provisions of the Family
Educational Rights and Privacy
Act and the policies and
procedures set forth in the
following sections.
Section 2. Notification to Students
Under the provisions of the Act,
the University must annually
notify students of their rights and
the institution policies pertaining
to the Act. In addition, notice must
be given to the location where the
policy can be obtained as well as to
inform the students of the right to
file complaints with the Depart
ment of Health, Education and
Welfare concerning alleged failures
by the University to comply with
the Act. In accordance with these
requirements the annual notice
regarding students' rights, the
location of copies of the
University's policies setting forth
these rights, as well as the right to
file complaints with the Family
Educational Rights and Privacy Act
Office, shall be published in the
University Catalog. The annual
letter to students will notify
students of directory information.
The registrar is the hearing officer
for the Act and is responsible for
implementing the notification
requirements and distribution of
copies of the policies and proce
dures.

tunity employer and educator and
prohibits discrimination, including
harassment, on the basis of race,
color, national origin or ancestry,
gender, age, disability, religion,
height, weight, sexual preference,
marital status, or veteran status.
In carrying out this policy, the
University complies with all
federal and state laws and regula
tions prohibiting discrimination
including:
Executive Order 11246, the ElliottLarsen Civil Rights Act of 1976,
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of
1964, The Equal Pay Act of 1963,
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of
1964, as amended by the Equal
Employment Opportunity Act of
1972, and the Pregnancy Discrimi
nation Act of 1978, Title IX of the
Education Amendments of 1972,
Titles VII and VIII of the Public
Health Service Act, Age Discrimi
nation in Employment Act of 1967,
Sections 503 and 504 of the Reha
bilitation Act of 1973, Veteran's
Assistance Act of 1972, and Title II
of the Americans with Disabilities
Act of 1990.
Sexual Harassment
The University is committed to a
policy of nondiscrimination on the
basis of gender. Discrimination
because of gender includes sexual
harassment, which means unwel
come sexual advances, requests for
sexual favors, and other verbal or
physical conduct or communica
tion of a sexual nature when:
i.
Submission to such conduct or
communication is made a term
or condition either explicitly or
implicitly to obtain employ
ment, public accommodations
or public services, education, or
housing;
ii. Submission to or rejection of
such conduct or communica
tion by an individual is used as
a factor in decisions affecting
such individual's employment,
public accommodations or
public services, education, or
housing; or
Process
1.
The University encourages all
individuals to promptly report
instances of discrimination and
discriminatory harassment.
Once the University has been
informed of such behavior, it
will take timely and appropri
ate steps to investigate the
problem. At any step of the
grievance process, time sched
ules as outlined in the process
may be extended by mutual
agreement in writing.
2.
With the Grievance Officer,
individuals may discuss
concerns they may have
regarding possible discrimina
tion or harassment to learn
what options are available.
3.
Nonretaliation: The University
not only prohibits discrimina
tion, including harassment, but
also strictly prohibits any
retaliation against any indi
vidual, who, in good faith, has
registered a complaint under
this procedure. Any supervi
sor, agent, or employee of the
University who, after investi
gation, has been determined to
have retaliated against any
individual for using the
complaint procedure in this
policy; will be subject to
appropriate discipline up to
and including immediate
discharge. If an individual
believes he or she has been
retaliated against for exercising
his or her rights under this
policy, the individual should
use this complaint procedure.
4.
All matters discussed in this
process will be kept as confi
dential as possible.
5.
If an individual is dissatisfied
with the University's investiga
tion process or resolution, he
or she may file complaints of

ment, public accommodations
or public services, education,
or housing environment.
The University is committed to the
protection of the rights of all
individuals and to the elimination
of barriers that would prevent
individuals from realizing thenhighest potential of human excel
lence. Sexual harassment is a
particularly noxious form of
discrimination that interferes with
these goals and commitments, and
is difficult to combat due to the
intimidation and destruction of self
esteem of its victims.

�Freshmen
You may apply to Lake Superior
State University any time during
your final year of high school.
Applications are processed con
tinuously and you will be notified
of a decision within two weeks. To
complete your admission file you
must submit a final high school
transcript and ACT scores (if you
graduated from high school within
26 months of entering LSSU). Final
high school transcript must verify
graduation from an accredited
school or passing on the GED. To
be considered official, all tran
scripts must be mailed from your
high school guidance office directly
to Lake Superior State University.
Enter your social security number
on your Application for Admis
sion. It serves as your permanent
student identification number. If
you do not wish to provide the
number, an alternate number will
be assigned. Financial aid applica
tions will not be processed without
your social security number.
Canadian applicants should not
use their social insurance number.
An alternative number will be
assigned to Canadian and other
foreign students.
The primary factors in determining
admission are ACT* scores and
grade point average. LSSU uses an
overall grade point average (GPA).
The average overall GPA for the
2001 freshman class was 3.06 on a
scale of a 4.0. The average ACT
composite score was a 21.
Students whose ACT or GPA levels
approach but do not meet LSSU
standards may be admitted via the
University Studies program.
University Studies is an arm of the
Great Lakes Academy dedicated to
providing an educational opportu
nity to students who meet certain
profiles. Students who are admit
ted via University Studies receive
additional advising and support
services to ensure their success at
LSSU.
If you are admitted via University
Studies, you will be fully entered
into your chosen major after
meeting these three simple require
ments:
*
earn 12 credits at the 100 level
or above,
*
earn a 2.00 GPA, and
*
be eligible for 100-level math,
reading and composition
courses.
Students denied regular admission
may reapply after attending
another accredited college and
earning at least 19 semester (29
quarter) hours of transferable
credit. Evaluation for admission is
then based upon the college record.
* Although LSSU prefers you take the
ACT, we will accept equivalent SAT
scores to determine admission.
ACT
The ACT is offered nationally five
times a year at many locations
including our campus. Registra
tion forms are available in high
school counseling offices or by
contacting the LSSU Counseling
and Testing Center at 906-635- 2733.
United States residents applying
for academic scholarships must
have their ACT scores sent prior to
the April 1 scholarship deadline.
Transfer Students
Transfer students must possess a
2.0 cumulative college GPA and be
eligible to return to your former
college(s). If you have completed
fewer than 19 semester (29 quarter)
hours of credit, you must send an
official high school transcript or
GED scores in addition to your
college transcript (and ACT scores
if you graduated from high school
within 26 months of the semester
of entry).
Contact the Registrar's Office or
high school guidance office to have

�an official transcript mailed to our
Registrar's Office. Transcripts sent
via facsimile or hand delivered are
not considered official. All tran
scripts become the property of
Lake Superior State University and
are not returnable.
Your complete application should
be submitted at least 30 days prior
to the semester of entry. Transfer
students denied admission may
reapply after taking additional
courses that raise their overall GPA
to above a 2.0.
Credit Evaluations
Official evaluation of transfer
credit is made as quickly as pos
sible after you are admitted. The
Admissions Office will help you
with an unofficial transcript review
at your request.
If a course taken at another institu
tion is not offered at LSSU, elective
credit may be granted for that
course. Elective credits may be
applied toward degree require
ments but may not be used to
satisfy any specific course require
ment.
Grades less than C- will not transfer.
The Registrar's Office completes
transfer credit evaluations. The
decision on courses and transfer
credit granted may be appealed
first to the academic dean and then
to the provost.
Provisional Credit
Credit earned at an institution not
listed in the American Council of
Education's publication, Accredited
Institutions of Post-Secondary
Education is granted provisionally.

�Financial Aid Return Policy:
Applies to students receiving
federal and state financial aid
including loans and scholarships,
and institutional and private aid.
•
First, your account will be
credited according to Lake

Refund Policy (on or prior to
the 38-day withdrawal period).
•
Then, your financial aid will be
reduced in direct proportion to
the length of time you re

•
•
•
PLEASE NOTE: If you have
received a payment for excess
financial aid and you with
draw, you could owe the
University and/or the federal
government money.
If there is still a credit on your
account, the amount of the
credit will then be applied to
the remaining financial aid
funds until the credit has been
reduced to zero.
Any remaining refund due
you, after all funding sources
have received the appropriate
credit, will be refunded di
rectly to you.
There may be an administrative fee
for early withdrawal.
For example: If there are 105 days in
the semester and you withdraw on
the 58th day, your federal aid
would be reduced to 55% (58/105).
If your total cost to attend was
$2200 and it was paid with federal
aid of $1200 and a personal pay
ment of $1000, your federal aid
would be reduced to $660. You
could owe the University $540.

class attendance is required for
students receiving federal financial
aid. If you are reported for nonattendance in any or all of your
courses, your financial aid may be
withdrawn.

about leaving the University see
Withdrawal. Non-attendance of
classes or checking out of campus
housing does not constitute
withdrawal, nor does academic
dismissal. Students who leave but
do not withdraw are responsible
for full tuition and fees and will
receive failing grades on their
transcript unless an official With
drawal Request Form is filed with
the Registrar's Office.

�Financial Aid
Notification of scholarship
awards begins October 1 for
students admitting for the
following fall semester.
Rewarding the scholar and meet
ing the needs of those who apply
for financial assistance is a high
priority at Lake Superior State
University. The doors of opportu
nity are seldom closed because of a
financial condition.
You may qualify for a combination
of University, state and federal
programs—a financial aid packwhich may include a combi
ag<
nation of scholarship, grant, loan,
and/or work assistance. Full-time
undergraduates take priority in aid
awards.
Carefully consider the full cost of
your education, parental support,
and savings — including summer
employment — to determine your
need for financial aid. If you
possess excellent high school or
community college grades, you are
encouraged to apply for scholar
ships regardless of need. Those
with need are considered for
grants, loans and/or employment
based on need established from the
Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA).
You can obtain information on all
financial aid programs from the
Financial Aid staff. Staff are
available to advise you and your
parents about the costs of attend
ing the University, availability of
financial aid and application
procedures.
Applying: You can apply for
financial aid by obtaining a FAFSA
form from your high school
counselor or contacting the Finan
cial Aid Office, Lake Superior State
University, 650 W. Easterday Ave.,
Sault Ste. Marie, MI 49783. You
may also file your FAFSA on-line
at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
Once your FAFSA is received by
LSSU and your admission is
complete, you will receive an
"Official Offer of Award" letter
from the Financial Aid Office.
Scholarship requirements: Incom
ing freshmen must have a mini
mum GPA of 3.0 and ACT of 19 to
qualify for an LSSU scholarship.
The recipient of any award must be
a full-time student carrying 12
academic hours or more each
semester (except regional center
recipients).
Scholarship recipients are usually
selected based on competitive
examinations, scholastic records
and/or financial need. The Ameri
can College Test serves as the
University's primary test for
scholarship applicants. Test results
must be on file by April 1.
All freshmen who are Michigan
residents are encouraged to com
plete the Michigan Educational
Assessment Program (MEAP) test
to determine eligibility for addi
tional state aid.
You and your parents or guardian
must complete a Free Application
for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to
apply for federal aid. The form
must be received by the processor
before February 21 (incoming
freshmen) or March 21 (returning
students) to assure priority aid
consideration.
Satisfactory
Academic Progress
Requirements for the
Retention of
Financial Aid
If you are receiving any form of
financial aid, you must meet these
satisfactory academic progress require
ments to retain your aid each semester.
Financial aid regulations require
that a student must make satisfac
tory progress to remain eligible for
financial aid. Financial aid pro
grams affected by this policy are

Loan, Federal Work-Study, Federal
Supplemental Educational Oppor-

Federal PLUS Loans, State of
Michigan and Institutional Scholar
ships, Grants, Loan and Work
Programs. The Native American
Tuition Waiver is exempted from
this policy.
The following policy is the mini
mum requirement for all types of
financial aid; however, there are
some types of aid with more
stringent requirements (see schol
arship requirements):
Qualitative Standards
Every student must maintain, at
the end of each semester, a cumula
tive grade point average (GPA) of
at least:
Cumulative
GPA
1.70
1.86
1.93
1.97
Credits
Attempted*
0-25 credits
26-55 credits
56-87 credits
88 or more credits
*Semester Hours (includes
transfer credit hours)
Probationary Semester: First-year
freshmen and new transfer stu
dents not meeting the GPA require
ment after their first semester at
LSSU will be placed on financial
aid probation for one semester.
The cumulative GPA after the
probationary semester must satisfy
the minimum GPA or the student
will have his/her financial aid
suspended. For example, a fresh
man "attempting" 16 credits each
semester would need to have a
cumulative GPA of at least 1.86 to
receive aid the following year.
Current Students: Students that
have been enrolled for more than
one semester will not have a
probationary semester and must
meet the schedule above for each
semester.
Transfer Students: The require
ments for transfer students are
based on the number of full-time
equivalent credits transferred to
LSSU. For example, a student with
68 transfer credits must earn a
GPA of 1.93 or higher.
Quantitative Standards
Each student's progress in credits
earned will be reviewed every
semester. The following credits
must be earned in relation to the
number of credits enrolled at the
end of the add period:

If a student does not satisfactorily
meet the quantitative standard,
he/she will be placed on financial
aid probation for the next semester.
If a student fails to meet the
standard for the second consecu
tive semester enrolled, his/her
financial aid will be suspended.
Part-time students enrolled for less
than six credits must earn all
credits attempted.
Once financial aid is suspended,
both the GPA and credit hour
completion criteria must be met in
subsequent semesters of six credits
or more before reinstatement of aid
is possible.
If completion of "I" grades or other
record changes warrant a reinstate
ment, a written notice from the
Registrar's Office must be pre
sented to the Financial Aid Office
by the end of the semester follow
ing cancellation of aid by the
student.
Financial Aid Suspension: No aid
will be granted once a student's

Financial Aid Reinstatement:
To remove financial aid suspension
status, a student must have at
tained the minimum cumulative
grade point average and creditearned requirements (minimum six
credit hours) at Lake Superior State
University, while not receiving
financial aid. Students who
successfully complete 26 credits at
a community college after being
suspended at LSSU will be allowed
one probationary semester upon
readmission. Successful students
must advise the Financial Aid
Office in writing that they have met
the requirements for reinstatement.

Pell Grant amounts vary according

Loans
Federal Perkins Loan
The Federal Carl Perkins Loan
program is for students enrolled at
least half time in an eligible pro
gram who need a loan to meet
educational expenses.
Students may borrow up to $3,000
for each year of undergraduate
study. The maximum debt for
undergraduates is $15,000. The
amount awarded by the University
is generally less due to limited
funds.
Repayment begins nine months
after students graduate or leave
school for other reasons. There is a
10-year pay back period, at five
percent interest on the unpaid
balance of the loan principal.
The amount of the repayment
depends on the size of the debt and
ability to pay. In most cases,
students must pay at least $40 a
month. Any agreement for a lesser
amount must be attributable to
extraordinary circumstances such
as prolonged unemployment.
Default: If a student defaults on a
Perkins Loan and the school is
unable to collect, the federal
government will take action to
recover the loan. In cases of
bankruptcy, total or permanent
disability or death, loan obligations
are canceled.
Deferment of payment is available if:
1. you are enrolled and attending
as at least a half time student at
an institution of higher educa
tion.
2.

three (3) years

Federal Direct Stafford
Loan (Student)
Qualified applicants must be a

alien. Students may borrow up to
$2,625 the first year of undergradu
ate study, $3,500 as a sophomore
and $5,500 as a junior or senior.
The lifetime maximum amount is
$23,000. Eligibility is based on
financial need for subsidized loans.
Subsidized loans are eligible for
federal interest benefits. For
subsidized loans, the federal
government does not charge
interest while attending school at
least half time, during the sixmonth grace period, and during
deferments (postponements of
repayments). Financial need must
be shown to receive this type of
loan.
For students without financial
need, the Direct Loan Program
offers Direct Unsubsidized Loans.
The federal government charges
interest on these loans while
attending school, in the grace
period, or in deferment.
The student loan program is
administered through the Financial
Aid Office under the Direct Loan
Program. A three percent loan fee
is charged on all loans, under
federal law. Loans are disbursed in
two equal disbursements (one-half
in the fall semester; one-half in the
spring semester).

Housing
A variety of housing facilities are
available. If you are enrolled at
LSSU for 12 credit hours or more,
there are mandatory policies that
apply.
Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2273 • 59
�If you are unmarried and/or a
nonveteran enrolled in 12 hours or
more and are within 27 calendar
months of your high school gradu
ation, you must reside in a Univer
sity residence hall.
High school graduation dates are
assumed to be June 1 for this
purpose. The exceptions are:
1.
2.
3.
If you live with your parents
within a 60-mile radius or the
three-county (Chippewa, Luce
and Mackinac) service area of
the University. An exception
application is available in the
Housing Office and must be
approved by the Housing
director.
If you are exempted in writing
by the Housing director when
residence hall space is filled.
If you have unusual financial
or health problems. Permis
sion must be granted by the
vice president for Student
Affairs.
The University reserves the right to
assign all students within the
residence halls. Housing prefer
ences are considered according to
the dates of receipt of application.
Freshmen are usually accorded
priority in residence hall assign
ments and upperclassmen hold
priority in apartment assignments.
The University recognizes that
exceptions to these policies may
arise. Requests for permission to
live off-campus will be considered
by the vice president for Student
Affairs, who shall apply the
following criteria to a request to
live off campus for financial
reasons:
"Financial hardship" is a situation
in which the total resources of the
student and family added to the
total financial aid available from
the University does not equal the
dollar amount budgeted by the
Financial Aid Office as the mini
mum required for on-campus
residency. In such a situation, there
are two alternatives: a) withdrawal
from the dormitory or b) with-
drawal from the University. An
example is a student whose
financial situation changed sud
denly during the year (perhaps due
to the death of a parent) and who
applies for assistance after the aid
program is depleted.

Student-Faculty
Relations Committee
(Appeals)
Function. The Student-Faculty
Relations Committee provides a
forum for resolving conflicts
between students and faculty
members which may arise with
classroom or course-related activi
ties, policies or procedures. The
62 • Lake Superior State University •
committee will not consider cases
involving ADA compliance or any
other matter it deems inappropri
ate. This committee is strictly an
informal mediation body which
will forward recommendations for
resolution to the parties involved
(with a copy to the executive vice
president and provost).
Membership. The University
president appoints the committee
membership to two-year terms.
There are four faculty representa
tives (at least one from each
college) and four student represen
tatives. The chair is chosen by the
committee membership.
Procedures
1.
If a student (or group of
students) wishes to raise an
issue related to a course which
he/she is taking or has taken
(normally within one semes
ter), the student should at
tempt to resolve the issue at
the student/faculty, depart
ment head or appropriate
college dean level. If the
matter cannot be resolved at
the lowest possible levels, the
student may appeal to the
Student-Faculty Relations
committee informing them of
the problem. In exceptional
cases, the student may ap
proach the Student-Faculty
Relations Committee directly.
2.
To bring an issue before the
Student-Faculty Relations
committee, the student must
notify the Student-Faculty
Relations Committee in
writing. This document must
clearly explain the situation
and include the student's
name, current address, a
message telephone number
and times when the student is
available to meet with the
committee. Supporting
documentation may be in
cluded as well. The written
appeal should be submitted
directly to the committee chair.
The Executive Vice President
and Provost's Office will know
1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2273
�the name of the committee
chair.
3.
Once the committee members
have had an opportunity to
review the student's concern,
they will conduct an informal
fact-finding process. As a part
of the process, the student will
be invited to meet with the
committee for further clarifica
tion. This meeting will be 20
minutes in length with 10
minutes of question and
answer by the committee. The
other party will also be invited
to meet with the committee
following the same format.
Both parties will then be asked
to meet together with the
committee in an effort to foster
communication, clarification
and resolution. The most
desirable arrangement would
be for this step to occur at one
setting. The committee will
strive to be as expeditious as
possible. There may be extenu
ating circumstances such as
semester break or summer
recess.
4.
If there is no resolution after
this joint meeting of the parties
involved, or if the outcome of
this process is not acceptable to
the student or the faculty
member, he/she may appeal to
the executive vice president
and provost of the University.
5.
The committee will keep no
permanent records.

�The International University
College Division
of Lake Superior State University and Sault College
Lake Superior State University, in
Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, and
Sault College, in Sault Ste. Marie,
Ontario, are just a 15-minute car
ride apart. In spite of being located
in different countries, our cities are
closer to each other than they are to
municipalities in their home state
or province. So, community
leaders encourage initiatives that
strengthen the ties between us and
take advantage of shared resources.
The belief is we have more to offer
by working together.
Lake Superior State University and
Sault College have enjoyed a good
working relationship for many
years. In 2001, some articulations
were revitalized, new ones were
struck and it was decided to
establish the International Univer
sity College Division. The division
allows full-time students in some
program areas to be dual-enrolled.
In computer science/studies,
criminal justice or liberal studies/
teacher education, agreements
have been signed which encourage
students to take advantage of the
diverse faculty and resources
available at both schools as they
pursue their degrees and/or
diplomas.
Getting involved in the Interna
tional Division is straightforward
— consult with the academic
department, fill in a Dual Enroll
ment Form and submit it to the
Registrar's Office. As a dualenrolled student, you are permitted
to take one course per semester at
the other school. Through the
extra advising available to you,
you can fit these courses into your
overall academic plan and semes
ter timetables. You register for all
courses through your home school
registrar and your academic
information is transferred auto
matically at the conclusion of each
semester. As long as you meet the
required academic standards, you
will continue to enjoy these advan
tages of attending both schools:
•
the combination of applied,
"hands-on" training and
theoretical understanding
•
more course choices
•
access to many of the student
services and academic re
sources (e.g. wider selection of
equipment, libraries, student
centers, peer tutoring, etc.)
available at both institutions
•
accessible professors through
small classes, labs and office
hours
•
interaction with fellow stu
dents from another country —
a good basis for a network of
contacts that can assist you in
your life’s work ahead
•
greater employment options
and advancement opportunities
Dual-enrolled students pursuing
the bachelor of science in computer
science or computer networking
gain these particular benefits:
•
professors with a wide variety
of computer-based qualifica
tions and areas of expertise
•
exposure to, and opportunity
to work with, more types of
hardware and software than
would be available at either
institution on its own
•
plenty of equipment available
for hands-on experience
•
more than 70% of the major
courses with a lab component

�Failed Classes
If you fail a class required for your
degree program, you must repeat
the class and receive a passing
grade. If the failed class is no
longer offered because of program
changes and/or course deletions,
the academic dean can substitute
another similar class.
Exceptions to
Graduation
Requirements
Exceptions to specific general
education requirements may be
granted only by the Scholastic
Standards Committee. Such
exceptions are infrequently made.
A petition for exceptions to general
education requirements is initiated
with the assistant to the provost for
academic records.
Course substitutions and waivers
of departmental degree program
requirements may be granted only
by the dean of the college offering
the program (major or minor).
Normally, you will graduate under
the program degree requirements
in effect and published in the
Catalog at the time you are admit
ted into the given degree program,
provided enrollment at the Univer
sity is continuous. If enrollment is
interrupted, or if you select a new
major, you must satisfy program
requirements in effect at the time
you reenter or officially change to
the new major. If program require
ments are revised during your
enrollment, you will be allowed to
graduate under the new require
ments providing you can meet
such requirements in their entirety.
The University reserves the right to
change the requirements for
graduation at any time as a means
of keeping pace with educational
developments affecting the various
curricula. As such changes are
made, they may, at the discretion of
the University, be applied to stu
dents already enrolled. In such
cases, reasonable and prudent effort
will be made to provide the benefit
of the new educational program
without imposing undue hardship.

�Graduation Procedures
Degree candidacy procedure: Two
semesters before students plan to
complete degree requirements and
graduate, they must submit an
appropriate departmental degree
audit for each major and minor,
and a Declaration of Candidacy for
Degree to the assistant to the
provost for Academic Records.
The necessary forms are available
at the student's major departmen
tal office.
The departmental Degree Audit for
a student's major or minor speci
fies all required courses that have
been or must be completed. The
audit must be signed by the school
chair and/or dean of the college
offering the major or minor pro
gram. Course substitutions and
waivers of departmental degree
program requirements may be
granted only by the dean of the
college offering the major or minor
program. Exceptions to specific
general education requirements
may be granted only by the Scho
lastic Standards Committee. Such
exceptions are infrequently made.
A petition for exceptions to general
education requirements is initiated
with the assistant to the provost for
academic records.
The assistant to the provost checks
students' Degree Audits, after
which a preliminary verification of
the Degree Audit is sent to each
student and respective school chair.
Students are responsible for
examining this verification and
requesting clarification of anything
that is not consistent with their
records or understanding.
From the Declaration of Candidacy
for Degree forms submitted by
students, a potential graduate list
is created for each semester.
Names for the commencement
program and diploma will be the
official, legal name as listed in the
records of the University. The
names of students who are listed in
the annual commencement pro
gram are also compiled from
Declaration of Candidacy for
Degree forms. Students may not
be listed in the commencement
program unless their Degree
Candidacy Form is filed with the
assistant to the provost six weeks
prior to commencement. Students
are expected to attend commence
ment exercises unless excused by
the assistant to the provost. Stu
dents completing degree require
ments during the summer may
participate in commencement the
previous semester if their degree
candidacy form is received six
weeks prior to commencement.
After grades are received at the
end of each semester, Degree
Audits will be updated for all
students completing credit and
who have a Degree Candidacy
Form on file. When all require
ments specified on the Degree
Audit are fulfilled, the college dean
and/or school chair and assistant
to the provost give a final ap
proval. Names of these graduates
are then sent to the president for
approval by the Board of Trustees.
Subsequently, a diploma is pro
vided to each student.
Diploma charge: There is no
charge for the first diploma from
the University. A fee is charged for
replacement diplomas.
Students completing graduation
requirements in the fall semester or
summer, or who otherwise need
documentation of completion
before their diploma is available,
may request a letter certifying that
they have completed degree
requirements. Additionally, official
University transcripts will be sent
to any employer, graduate univer
sity, or elsewhere, as requested by
the graduate. Official transcripts
will not be mailed to students.
Graduation with honors: Honors
graduates must earn at least 32
credits at Lake Superior State
University.

completed 21 honors credit hours
with an overall grade point aver
age of 3.5 or better at graduation.
The 21 honors credit hours are to
be distributed among the
University's requirements for
general education, the student's
major and the University honors
program.
Upon graduation from the honors
program, the student will receive
an honors degree in his/her
program of study. The honors
degree designation is indicated on
the student's diploma and is
distinct from graduating with
honors (see Graduation with
Honors).
Honors Degree
The University Honors Program
offers highly motivated students
the opportunity to develop their
abilities and skills in exciting and
innovative ways. The central goal
of the University honors program
is to create a community of schol
ars characterized by strong stu
dent-faculty interaction around the
world of ideas. The honors pro
gram fosters an approach to
education that incorporates the
qualities of active participation,
intellectual curiosity and an
interdisciplinary focus.
Selection is based upon a number
of factors, including: ACT scores,
high school grade point average,
application essay, personal inter
view and Lake State faculty
nomination. Students invited to
participate in the program enroll in
courses designated for honors
credit. The courses are distributed
among the requirements for
general education, the student's
major, and the University honors
program and may include small
seminars or independent research
projects.
To graduate with an honors degree
in a program of study, the honors
student must have formal accep
tance into the University honors
program and have successfully

Program Description:
Career Description*:
The legal assistant profession is
one of the occupations projected to
grow the fastest through the year

in legal assistant studies (which is
available to students who already
have a bachelor's degree in some
other discipline and wish to make
a career change or advancement);
or (4) a minor in legal assistant
studies which can complement
various majors (and may also be
helpful to students who are plan
ning on attending law school). The
requirements for these programs
are based upon the guidelines of
the National Association of Legal
Assistants.
Corporate Legal Assistant —
drafts and/or analyzes various
legal documents; attends meetings,
negotiations or closings; performs
legal and factual research; monitors

views of defendants, law enforce
ment, victims, and/or witnesses;
performs case and field investiga
tions; locates and coordinates
usage of applicable experts;
prepares motions, briefs or other
legal documents; acts as a litigation
assistant during trial and any appeal.
Governmental Legal Assistant —
works as an immigration specialist;
civil rights analyst; environmental
protection specialist; mediation
specialist; legislative analyst;
workers compensation claims
examiner, etc. (even the White
House has employed legal assis
tants).

Career Description:
This degree requires successful
completion of a curriculum with a
minimum of 128 semester hours as
prescribed on the following page.
Managers guide and direct the
organization. Managers set goals
and determine methods to achieve
those goals. Since managers must
achieve the organization's goals
through the efforts of other indi
viduals, the practice of manage
ment is concerned with human
behavior. Managers are involved
with designing effective organiza
tion structures, controlling opera
tions, making effective decisions,
and communicating, motivating
and leading personnel. Addition
ally, an effective manager must
design programs to develop
people's abilities and talents,
understand the role and impact of
technology on the organization and
be aware of and respond to social
challenges both domestically and
internationally. A career in man
agement is both challenging and
rewarding.
The management major is de
signed to provide students with a
broad background in business by
presenting courses covering the
functional areas of business. This
management degree program
prepares students for leadership
positions in business and non
profit organizations.

Program Description:
Career Descriptions:
Bachelor of Arts
According to the 2000 Occupational
Employment and Wage Estimator,
more people are employed as
chemists and chemical technicians
than in any other job classification
in the life, physical and social
science occupations (http://
stats.bls.gov). Chemistry-related
jobs also lead this category in
Michigan. With many free elec
tives and a common general
education core, a chemistry degree
can also be used in combination
with other majors or minors such
as pre-law, engineering, literature,
business, biology, etc. to match
student interest and career plans.
Chemist — works in business and
industry, and environmental and
commercial laboratories conduct
ing basic and applied chemical
analysis, research and product
development.
Pre-Professional
Graduates with a bachelor of arts
in chemistry work in many disci
plines and industries, and many
proceed on to graduate school in
natural sciences, law, engineering
and medicine. Internships in
chemistry are encouraged where
students can gain valuable realworld work experience while
gaining college credit. In addition,
each student participates in an
applied research project in close
collaboration with faculty mem
bers to address meaningful chemi
cal-based problems. These
projects, through the excellent
preparation they provide our
students, are often cited as impor
tant factors in successful job
searches and entry into graduate
programs.
Lawyer — applies basic chemical
knowledge to the practice of law
related to scientific and natural
resource issues.
Secondary Teaching
Bachelor of Science
Career Choices:
Chemist

patent applications related to the
chemical industry, and the applica
tion of chemistry to new and novel
problems.

of chemistry and biology to
address significant issues from the
perspective of each discipline,
particularly the chemical founda
tions of biological processes.
Physician — uses chemistry as a
foundation for the practice of
medicine. A degree in chemistry is
a useful precursor to medical
school, the study of pharmacology,
and the development of drugs to
promote health and quality of life.
Science Teacher — responsible for
developing and implementing

Three-Year Degree
for a BS in CJ
following the
NRT Degree
Bachelor of Science
See Department of
Biology
Students with a particular interest in state and
federal laws enacted to protect our natural
resources and federal restrictions on the use of
our renewable resources should consider
obtaining both an associate’s degree in natural
resources technology (two years) and a bachelor
of science degree in criminal justice (three
additional years). The NRT degree will provide
the student with a good general background in
natural resources and the criminal justice degree
will allow the student to be fully qualified for
many different law enforcement opportunities.
Jobs for conservation law officers are limited,
but the above configuration of degrees prepares
a student to be highly competitive for openings
that do occur. Students selecting this course of
study should work closely with their advisor in
order to complete both degrees in the five-year
span. After completing the two-year NRT
associate’s degree, students would complete the
following sequence of courses. This plan
assumes MCOLES certification and 92 additional
hours following the NRT degree.

Environmental chemists seek to
understand and address environ
mental problems within the context
of chemical systems. While
environmental chemistry is truly
an interdisciplinary field, the
particular emphasis on examining
natural systems through chemistry
and chemical analysis focuses the
graduate more firmly within the
physical sciences. Key features of
this program include course work
on environmental impact assess
ment, air and water chemistry. By
seeking solutions for such chemi
cally based environmental prob
lems as water pollution, hazardous
wastes, and acid rain, environmen
tal chemists help ensure a safe,
healthful environment for all living
things.
Environmental Chemist — collects
and analyzes samples; develops
remediation programs, changing
production processes to reduce
environmental impact; advises on
safety and emergency response.
Environmental Field Technician
— responsible for groundwater
sampling, soil sampling and other
field efforts.
Field Chemist — supervises field
technicians; packages chemicals for
transportation and disposal; loads
and unloads supply trucks. Cus
tomer relation skills are essential.
Physical Science Technician —
performs technical procedures
related to chemical analyses of
plant and animal tissues, soils,

Program Description:
Career Descriptions:
The B.S. in environmental health is
offered in response to strong
student, state and local govern
ment demand for an academic
program to prepare students for
careers in public health, environ
mental health and related fields.
Graduates of this program will be
prepared to seek employment in
jobs with titles like public health
officer, environmental technician,
and scientist, as well as many
others. After working in the field
for a period of time, graduates may
sit for the Registered Sanitarian
(RS) examination and achieve state
certification, or for the Registered
Environmental Health Specialist
(REHS) examination and achieve
national certification.
Bachelor of Science
Public Health Officer — works
with local public health offices to
protect citizens and the environ
ment; develops and implements
public health initiatives and
enforces existing environmental
regulations.
This program is similar to the
successful environmental science
degree, but includes many required
elements that are specifically
directed to public health. These
include courses in Geographic
Information Systems and Global
Positioning Systems, Hydrology
and Groundwater, Toxicology and
Epidemiology, Public Health Care
and Public Administration. Stu
dents participate in an applied
research project in close collabora
tion with faculty members to
address meaningful environmental
health problems. These projects,
through the excellent preparation
they provide our students, are
often cited as important factors in
successful job searches and entry
into graduate programs.

Program Description:
Career Descriptions:
This Fine Arts Studies program is
an integrated, bi-national program
offered by a three-member consor
tium situated in Sault Ste. Marie:
Algoma University, Lake Superior
State University, and Sault College
of Applied Arts and Technology.
The program is designed and
administered in such a way as to
serve the region as a whole, to
reflect the uniqueness of our
northern heritage, to be interna
tional in scope and to integrate
courses of study at both the college
and university levels.
This degree will prepare you for
further studies in professional
schools specializing in fine arts
training; for employment in the
rapidly expanding arts, entertain
ment and communication indus
tries; or to apply your enhanced
talents as working artists.
The fine arts degree is for students
who have wide-ranging interests in
fine arts, and who wish to explore
and express their potential through
following a personalized course of
study. While students will invari
ably participate in a broad range of
courses, they must select two main
areas of focus (concentrations) from
the following six: graphic design,
music, native arts and culture,
theater, visual arts and writing.
Fine arts have been an important
aspect of the human experience
since first recorded history; from
African cave paintings to Greek
dramas, from Beethoven sympho
nies to the writings of Canadian
playwrights. From the study of fine
arts we can gain an understanding
of various cultures through their
own indigenous means of expres
sion. Furthermore, we can deepen
our understanding of our own
culture by participation in various
contemporary art forms (drama,
music, painting, writing etc.). Most
important, by exploring our own
creative potential, we can develop
a better understanding of our
selves.
Fine Arts Professional —prepares
you for working as a managing
director of a department of music,
arts, theater or performance.
Teacher of Fine Arts — develops
courses, maintains studios and
supplies, teaches in elementary or
secondary education fields or
community theaters.
Arts Entrepreneur — performs as a
musician; is active in the perform
ing arts and theater; and creates
and sells crafts and paintings.
Arts Organization Staff — plans,
designs and implements programs
and services; assists with adminis
tering programs, cultural events
and art galleries.
Marketing/Design — works on
publications, displays, annual
exhibitions, educational programs,
craft fairs, galleries, museums and
sales.

Program Description:
Career Descriptions:
Geology examines the dynamic
Earth and its physical, chemical
and biologic history. It involves
the study of changes that are
taking and have taken place and
the forces that cause these changes.
For example, geologists interpret
the movements of the continents
over geologic time and the forma
tion of mountains, volcanoes and
other features of the Earth's
surface. Geologists attempt to
understand our physical environ
ment from which we derive most
of the natural resources essential to
civilization. They investigate the
processes that led to the formation
of mineral deposits, and oil, gas
and coal. They also study environ
mental change throughout the
history of the Earth and how those
changes and the development of
life are related. Geologists attempt
to predict natural disasters such as
earthquakes, volcanic eruptions,
and landslides, and they are very
active in modeling groundwater
flow to develop water reserves for
municipalities and to protect
groundwater from contamination.
Geologists study the natural world
and apply their knowledge to
achieve harmony between the
human race and its environment.
Energy Fuels Exploration Geolo
gist — searches worldwide for
petroleum, gas, coal. Career
opportunities are with integrated
energy fuels exploration companies
and government agencies.
Mineral Exploration and Produc
tion Geologist — studies the
origin, occurrences and extraction
of metallic and non-metallic
mineral resources such as gold,
iron, uranium, diamonds, clay and
limestone. Career opportunities are
with many different kinds of
companies and government agencies.
Paleontologist — studies the
origin and evolution of life through
time and its applications to inter
preting the geologic record. Career
opportunities are with energy
companies, museums, universities,
government agencies.
Geophysicist — uses non-destruc
tive methods to determine the
electrical, magnetic, gravimetric
and seismic properties of earth
with applications to exploration
and environmental concerns.
Career opportunities are with
integrated energy, mineral and
environmental companies, consult
ing firms and government agencies.
Environmental Geologist/
Hydrogeologist — studies surface
and groundwater supplies and
contamination; flooding and land
slide potential; and environmental
quality issues such as chemical
contamination of soils and solid
waste disposal. Career opportuni
ties are with companies in many
industries, government agencies,
and consulting firms.
Teacher — teaches geology and
earth science in elementary and
secondary schools and many
specialized fields of geology at the
college level.

in legal assistant studies (which is
available to students who already
have a bachelor's degree in some
other discipline and wish to make
a career change or advancement);
or (4) a minor in legal assistant
studies which can complement
various majors (and may also be
helpful to students who are plan
ning on attending law school). The
requirements for these programs
are based upon the guidelines of
the National Association of Legal
Assistants.
Corporate Legal Assistant —
drafts and/or analyzes various
legal documents; attends meetings,
negotiations or closings; performs
legal and factual research; monitors

motions, briefs or other legal docu
ments; acts as a litigation assistant
during trial and any appeal.
Governmental Legal Assistant —

Program Description:
Career Description:
Manufacturing engineering
technology (MfgET) is a multi
disciplinary field that integrates
knowledge from areas of study
such as science, math, computers,
mechanical engineering, electronics
engineering, management and
economics. MfgET is a profession
that gives you the expertise to
develop tools, processes, machines
and equipment to make quality
products at a reasonable cost. The
profession also involves working
with and coordination of people
from several other fields.
Whether it be a single gear or a
complete automobile engine, the
complete set of events that results
in a finished product is planned
and implemented by a manufactur
ing engineer. Once you graduate
from LSSU, you will have many
manufacturing career choices
ranging from applied technical
research to management of systems
and personnel. Typical graduates
have obtained engineering and
technology positions in design of
automated manufacturing systems,
computer-aided design and
manufacturing, quality control,
robotics applications, automotive
component manufacturing, design
of manufacturing processes and
equipment, maintenance, sales and
management of manufacturing
systems. Some graduates have also
transferred to graduate schools to
pursue master's and doctoral
degrees.
In addition to providing a strong
background in the fundamentals of
manufacturing engineering tech
nology, the program places an
emphasis in the application of
computer systems to modern
manufacturing. This includes
topics such as robotics, computeraided design (CAD), program
mable logic controllers (PLC), and
computer-aided manufacturing
(CAM). The classes and labs in the
curriculum average about 15
students and are taught by faculty
who are dedicated to undergradu
ate teaching excellence.
Students pursuing the B.S. degree
in manufacturing at LSSU have the
option to specialize in robotics and
automation. LSSU is one of only
two universities in the U.S. to offer
the robotics specialization in the
ABET-accredited manufacturing
engineering technology B.S.
degree.
A scientific "high technology"
basis in the field of manufacturing
engineering technology is evolv
ing. The MfgET program is
designed to place LSSU graduates
at the leading edge of this evolution.

Program Description:
Career Descriptions:
Mathematics:
Operations Research Analyst —
helps organizations operate as
efficiently as possible through the
application of mathematical
principles to organizational
problems.
Many who major in the field of
mathematics combine those studies
with education courses and obtain
employment as teachers. People
with mathematics degrees are
found in a broad range of occupa
tions where quantitative skills are
needed; one of the largest employ
ers of mathematics is the National
Security Agency. Often a minor
field of study (such as computer
science) provides the supporting
credential for entry-level jobs.
Actuarial and Business Applications:
The actuarial and business applica
tions option combines mathemati
cal knowledge with quantitative
business applications. The result is
a very marketable degree that
provides many exciting career
opportunities for graduates. A
student should be prepared to take
the first actuarial examination in
the spring of his/her junior year
and the second examination the
following spring. A student
choosing this emphasis will
complete a minor in accountingfinance.
Teaching degrees — a completion
of a fifth-year internship and
graduate course work qualifies you
for elementary or secondary
teacher certification in Michigan
and Ontario, as well as reciprocity
with several other states.
Graduate school — an under
graduate mathematics major with
emphasis on abstraction, together
with an analytical approach to
problem solving, continues to
provide strong preparation for
graduate work in diverse fields —
especially when combined with a
nunor in the related field.
Statistician — government agen
cies such as the Bureau of Labor
employ statisticians to monitor the
consumer price index, employment
statistics and the like. Industries
use statisticians in their efforts to
forecast future needs, to implement
quality control, and to design
information-gathering strategies.
Research Assistant — mathemati
cians are sometimes needed as
members of a multi-discipline
research team, responsible for
creating a mathematical model of a
real-world process or context,
which then is used to help solve
problems of interest to the team's
efforts.
Actuary — assembles and analyzes
statistics to calculate probabilities
of sickness, death, injury, disability,
retirement, property loss and
unemployment for insurance
companies.
School Administrator or
Counselor — a valid teaching
certificate and teaching experience
are prerequisites. Further course
work and separate certification are
also required.
Educational Consultant or Trainer
— trains personnel in industry on
new procedures and/or equipment
needed.

Program Description:
Career Descriptions:
Political science is the systematic
study of government, politics and
public policy. It is one of a number
of liberal arts majors that prepare
students for a broad range of career
opportunities.
With the skills they acquire in
writing, speaking, analysis, critical
thinking and leadership, political
science majors are able to pursue a
wide variety of career options
(some of which require additional
education).
Political science majors choose one
of four tracks or concentrations:
general political science, pre-law,
public administration or secondary
teaching. Each concentration
provides a combination of knowl
edge and skills especially appropri
ate for those with particular career
goals. However, choosing one
concentration over the others does
not limit you to a particular career
path — each of the tracks provides
a solid grounding in political
science and a broad liberal arts
background.
General education requirements
and sufficient elective credits must
be completed so that at least 124
semester credits have been earned.
Other Qualifications — Graduate
degrees are required for some
positions; thus, a law degree is
required for work as an attorney
and a Ph.D. is required for appoint
ment to permanent teaching and
research positions in colleges and
universities.
A sample of typical occupations
include:
Attorney — represents clients in
private practice, in small or large
law firms; represents corporations,
labor unions, trade associations or
governments as a salaried em
ployee; serves as a prosecutor or
public defender; serves as a judge.
Requires the completion of a law
degree following college.
Government Employee — works
for government agencies at the
federal, state or provincial, or local
level, or for international organiza
tions, such as the United Nations.
Political Professional — works as
a campaign manager; staff assistant
to legislators; elected office holder;
or as a political liaison for profes
sional, trade, business or other
interest groups.
Journalist— serves as reporter,
editorial writer, editor or news
caster for newspapers, news
magazines, or on radio or television.
Teacher— teaches government and
politics at the high school or
college level.

Political Science
General Track
Bachelor of Arts or
Bachelor of Science
The general political science concentration is
designed to provide a broad education in political
science. It is most appropriate for students who
plan to attend graduate school in political
science and for those with an interest in
government and politics who wish to get a
broad, liberal education. Students who continue
their education in graduate school most often
pursue careers as professors, researchers,
consultants or government officials. Students
who do not pursue graduate study choose from
a wide variety of career options in government,
politics, teaching, journalism and business.

Students who choose this option are often
interested in careers as attorneys, prosecutors or
judges. It should be noted that this is not a
mandatory pre-law curriculum; it is a curriculum
for pre-law students who have a special interest
in government and politics.

The public administration concentration is most
appropriate tor students who plan to work in an
administrative capacity in public agencies or
nonprofit organizations with public missions.
Students who choose this option are preparing
for careers of public service. Such careers may
be pursued through positions in government
agencies at the local, state or provincial, and
national levels. Other positions may be found in
nonprofit organizations involved in public
concerns, such as Common Cause, the
Environmental Defense Fund, and the Michigan
Health Council. Some of these careers of public
service may be pursued with only a bachelor’s
degree. Others may require completion of a
master’s degree in public administration or a
related field.

Career Descriptions:
Most pharmacy schools require
students to take two years of pre
pharmacy preparation prior to
being admitted to their four-year
professional program. Admission
into the professional pharmacy
programs is very competitive and
is based, to a large extent, on
grades in specific required courses.
Many pharmacy colleges also
require applicants to take the
Pharmacy College Admission Test
(P.C.A.T.). This exam is generally
taken mid-way through your
second pre-pharmacy year.
Community Pharmacist — prac
tices in local pharmacies, profes
sional health centers, hospitals,
nursing homes or neighborhood
health centers.
Pre-pharmacy requirements vary
greatly between different colleges
that offer professional programs in
pharmacy. In general, most require
a pre-pharmacy program that
emphasizes math and science as
well as strong communication
skills. Recently, a majority of the
nation's schools began to move
toward awarding the doctor of
pharmacy (Pharm.D.) as the only
professional degree in pharmacy.
Because many pharmacy curricula
are currently being modified, pre
pharmacy requirements are also
subject to change.
The modifications in professional
pharmacy curricula, combined
with the variability in pre-phar
macy requirements, make it
imperative for a pre-pharmacy
student to determine the require
ments for admission at the schools
he or she desires to attend. A pre
pharmacy curriculum at Lake
Superior State University can then
be designed to help you obtain
your goals. It is your responsibility
to contact the directors of admis
sions at the pharmacy schools to
which you are planning to apply so
you can remain informed of their
most recent requirements for
admission.
Government Supervisory Posts —
USPHS, USDA, DVA employ
pharmacists for technical writing,
science reporting, directing manu
facturing firms or overseeing
cultivation of medicinal plants.
Research Pharmacist — within the
pharmaceutical industry, conduct
research to develop prescription
and non-prescription drugs and
other health products.
University Faculty — teach
students, conduct research, act as
consultants for local, state, national
and international agencies and
organizations.
Following is an example of typical minimum
requirements for admission to many pharmacy
programs:
1 year
Biology (with lab)
1 year
General Chemistry (with lab)
1 year
Organic Chemistry (with lab)
1 year
Physics (with lab)
1 course
Economics
at least 1 course

Program Description:
Career Descriptions:
For students planning a career in
sociology, teaching or conducting
research, the bachelor of arts or
bachelor of science provides the
undergraduate preparation for
graduate work in sociology.
Social Service Worker — provides
counseling, administers programs,
coordinates services in public or
private agencies assisting individu
als, families, groups or communi

type of work by combining your
sociology major with a human
service minor or by seeking a dual
major in sociology and human
service.
Many other careers require a solid
foundation of knowledge about
social structure and human behav
ior. The sociology program is
flexible, allowing you to combine
the Sociology major with a number
of other concentrations, enhancing
career preparations in a number of
fields. The broad liberal arts base
provided by the sociology degree
will help you prepare to negotiate
changes in career paths commonly
experienced over the course of a
work life.
Other Qualifications — an ad
vanced degree may be required for
some of the positions shown.

Program Description:
Career Descriptions*:
The legal assistant profession is
one of the occupations projected to
grow the fastest through the year
2010 according to the U.S. Depart
ment of Labor. A legal assistant (or
paralegal) is a valued member of
the legal team and works under the
supervision of attorneys.
Litigation Legal Assistant conducts legal, factual and com
puterized research; drafts legal
pleadings and documents; inter
views clients and witnesses;
investigates, gathers and organizes
case information; assists at trial.
This program is designed to train
qualified legal assistants capable of
working in a variety of areas of the
law and in a variety of work
environments. Consequently, the
role and job duties of a legal
assistant vary depending on the
areas of law and work environ
ment in which a legal assistant is
employed. Such diversity, varied
challenges, and employment
possibilities are what makes the
legal assistant profession so
interesting and rewarding.
There are four different degrees or
offerings in legal assistant studies.
They are as follows: (1) a four-year
baccalaureate degree in legal
assistant studies with an emphasis
in legal administration, criminal
law, personal injury, labor law,
legislative/constitutional law or a
selected minor as approved by the
legal assistant studies coordinator;
(2) a two-year associate's degree in
legal assistant studies; (3) a post
baccalaureate (one-year) certificate
in legal assistant studies (which is
available to students who already
have a bachelor's degree in some
other discipline and wish to make
a career change or advancement);
or (4) a minor in legal assistant
studies which can complement
various majors (and may also be
helpful to students who are plan
ning on attending law school). The
requirements for these programs
are based upon the guidelines of
the National Association of Legal
Assistants.
Corporate Legal Assistant - drafts
and/or analyzes various legal
documents; attends meetings,
negotiations or closings; performs
legal and factual research; monitors
compliance with applicable indus
try regulations; assists attorneys
with preparation for collective
bargaining, contract negotiations,
administrative hearings or trials.
Criminal Law Legal Assistant conducts comprehensive inter
views of defendants, law enforce
ment, victims, and/or witnesses;
performs case and field investiga
tions; locates and coordinates
usage of applicable experts;
prepares motions, briefs or other
legal documents; acts as a litigation
assistant during trial and any appeal.
Governmental Legal Assistant works as an immigration specialist;
civil rights analyst; environmental
protection specialist; mediation
specialist; legislative analyst;
workers compensation claims
examiner, etc. (even the White
House has employed legal assis
tants).
Real Estate Legal Assistant conducts title searches; drafts real
estate closing documents; monitors
compliance with title, survey,
disclosure and/or regulatory
requirements; schedules and
participates in real estate closings.
*Note: The above career descrip
tions are only a sampling of the
numerous avenues available to
legal assistants. See next page for
additional employment listings.

Program Description:
The natural resources technology
program stresses the acquisition of
field skills necessary for success in
a natural resources center, as well
as the theoretical foundations for
these skills. This practical knowl
edge is enriched by course materi
als which emphasize communica
tion skills along with the links
between society, economics, policy
and the natural resource base. This
program can be taken as a stand
alone two-year program, can
constitute the first half of the
bachelor of science in parks and
recreation management, or it can
be used in conjunction with a
three-year criminal justice program
to prepare a student for a career in
conservation law. The natural
resource technology program can
also serve as a convenient stepping
stone into the Fisheries & Wildlife
program.
All natural resource technology
students are strongly encouraged
to participate in at least one
summer of work or volunteer
experience in the natural resource
field to gain the professional
experience and contacts they will
need to begin their careers.
Continuing education to
bachelor's degree program — The
high degree of competition in the
natural resource field makes the
pursuit of a bachelor's degree
highly desirable. Programs which
join well with the NRT degree are
the parks and recreation manage
ment degree, the fisheries &
wildlife degree and the 2+3 crimi
nal justice degree programs. These
programs lead to careers such as
conservation officer, park natural
ist, expedition leader, guide or
recreation specialist.
Career Description:
Natural Resource Technician —
Forestry, wildlife, fisheries and
park technicians are responsible for
data collection and other hands-on
work in either the public or private
sector.

Legal Assistant
(Paralegal) Profession:
Legal Assistant Program
Offerings:
The legal assistant profession is
one of the occupations projected to
grow the fastest through the year
2010 according to the U.S. Depart
ment of Labor. A legal assistant (or
paralegal) is a valued member of
the legal team and works under the
supervision of attorneys. The legal
assistant profession is both chal
lenging and offers many career
advancement opportunities.
Legal Assistant
Studies
There are four different degrees or
offerings in legal assistant studies.
They are as follows:
This program is designed to train
qualified legal assistants capable of
working in a variety of work
environments. Consequently, the
role and job duties of a legal
assistant vary depending on the
areas of law and work environ
ment in which a legal assistant is
employed. Such diversity, varied
challenges and employment
possibilities are what makes the
legal assistant profession so
interesting and rewarding. For
instance, legal assistants are
employed in law firms; corpora
tions; financial institutions; govern
ment (federal, tribal, state or local);
courts and mediation systems; real
estate offices and title companies;
insurance companies; special
interest groups; prosecutor and
public defender offices; educa
tional institutions; financial service
organizations; credit and collection
agencies; and service, consulting or
publishing companies.

2.
a four-year baccalaureate
degree in legal assistant
studies with an emphasis in
legal administration, criminal
law, personal injury, labor law,
legislative/constitutional law
or a selected minor as ap
proved by the legal assistant
studies coordinator;
a two-year associate's degree
in legal assistant studies;
3.
a minor in legal assistant
studies which can complement
various majors (and may also
be helpful to students who are
planning on attending law
school).

The Political Science
Program:
LSSU's innovative political science
program is designed to contribute
leaders who will help meet the
challenges of the 21st century. The
program provides students with
both a broad liberal arts education
and the important skills they need
to begin a career or pursue addi
tional education.
Since students of political science
follow diverse career paths,
political science majors at LSSU
choose from one of four tracks or
concentrations: general political
science, pre-law, public administration
and secondary teaching. Each
concentration provides a combina
tion of knowledge and skills
uniquely appropriate for those
with particular career goals.
One of the innovative features of
the program is the replacement of
the traditional minor field of study
with a set of cognate (related)
courses spread across several
disciplines. The cognate require
ments for each concentration are
tailored to meet the specific needs
of those within the concentration.
The cognates complement a
student's courses in political
science by providing important
background (such as history,
philosophy and economics) and
valuable skills (such as computer,
research, writing and speaking
skills).
A second innovative feature is a
required year-long senior seminar.
As part of this seminar, students
analyze their career goals, prepare
a resume and write a senior thesis.
Since writing a thesis requires
discipline, perseverance and the
ability to integrate, the senior
seminar serves as a capstone for
the student's education. Students
make public presentations of their
theses prior to graduation. Family,
friends and the University com-
munity are invited to these
presentations.
Internships — which involve
supervised practical work experi
ence in an off-campus location —
are available and encouraged.
Internships may be carried out
with local, state (or provincial) or
federal agencies in the Sault Ste.
Marie area. Other internship
opportunities are available in
Washington, Lansing, Toronto and
Ottawa. One of the most exciting
of these opportunities is the
Washington Semester Program, a
cooperative arrangement with
American University in Washing
ton, D.C. Students selected to
participate in this program spend a
semester taking classes and work
ing in Washington.

Psychology is the systematic study
of methods to understand, predict
and influence human behavior and
mental processes. The major
provides students with exposure to
the areas that define contemporary
scientific psychology. The psychol
ogy major helps a student develop
analytical thinking and communi
cation skills which are applicable
to a variety of careers. Many
psychology majors pursue gradu
ate degrees. Psychology electives
enable students to construct a
program of study consistent with
their professional goals. The
bachelor of science and bachelor of
arts degrees differ only in the
nature of the cognate courses that
are selected. The bachelor of
science degree requires science
courses and the bachelor of arts
degree requires foreign language
courses.
If you have a passion for the study
of history, geography, political
science or economics, and wish to
share this interest with young
people, you can prepare for a
career teaching at the elementary,

�School of Social Sciences
Sociology is the scientific study of
human social groups, from families
to societies. Sociologists examine
how variables, such as culture,
laws and customs, influence
persons within society. Sociolo
gists also investigate how people,
through interaction, sustain or
change society.
The knowledge acquired through
sociology is useful in a number of
careers, including human services,
law enforcement, corrections,
elementary and secondary teach
ing, business administration,
public administration, law, and
medicine, among others.
For the student who is planning a
career as a professional sociologist,
who teaches and conducts re
search; or a career as a consultant, a
manager, or a policy analyst: an
undergraduate major in sociology
provides a good background for
graduate work in sociology.

Senior Design
Experience
Baccalaureate programs in engi
neering and engineering technol
ogy include a senior design experi
ence that prepares students for the
transition from college to employ
ment. These courses incorporate
lectures and laboratory exercises in
team-building skills, peer evalua
tion, scheduling and time lines,
ethics, and creative problem
solving. Most involve multi
disciplinary teams of students
working on large-scale industrial
projects which could be product or
process design and build, or
product or process research.
Two other options available to
students for their senior experience
are an on-site cooperative educa
tion project or a research project in
the LURE under the direction of a
faculty member.
Students are required to develop
and manage a budget, establish
methods of purchasing items and
communicate regularly with an
industrial project customer contact.
Cooperative Education
and Summer Internships
You are encouraged to participate
in the cooperative education
programs and summer internships.
Through these experiences, you
gain valuable industrial experience
which can lead to greater job
opportunities upon graduation and
higher starting salaries. Some
examples of participating employ
ers include General Motors, Delco
Electronics, Ford, Mead Paper,
Michigan Scientific and Dura
Automotive.
Those students within the com
puter engineering, electrical
engineering, manufacturing

programs that require four or more
calculus courses (or advanced
math courses), the MfgET program
(general option) requires only one
calculus course and one statistics
course as necessary background
for applied engineering.
LSSU's School of Engineering and
Technology houses traditional
training facilities such as a manu
facturing processes lab, materials
lab, electronics lab and digital/
microprocessor lab. Further, LSSU
is home for one of the best educa
tional facilities in robotics and
automation in North America.
This lab has 12 industrial robots,
several programmable logic
controllers, machine vision systems
and material handling systems.
The program contains a strong
laboratory emphasis with plenty of
opportunities to work on these and
other real manufacturing systems.
Entrance requirements for the
program for students completing
high school are the same as LSSU's
general entrance policy (please
refer to the section on Admissions
for further details). Students from
other colleges and universities can
transfer to LSSU and apply appro
priate credits towards the
bachelor's degree in MfgET.
Students who are completing their
associate's degree in a related field
from a community college can
typically complete the MfgET B.S.
degree in two additional years at
LSSU.
A scientific "high technology"
basis in the field of manufacturing
engineering technology is evolv
ing. The MfgET program is de
signed to place LSSU graduates at
the leading edge of this evolution.

�School of Natural Sciences
A degree in chemistry, environ
mental health, environmental
science or environmental chemistry
is ideal for the student who has a
concern for and interest in the
environment and an aptitude in the
natural sciences. These challeng
ing and rewarding degree pro
grams offered through the Depart
ment of Chemistry emphasize a
solid foundation of course work in
biology, chemistry, geology and
physics as well as their application
to environmental issues. Our
degrees integrate the study of the
natural and physical sciences in
order to prepare you for interesting
and diverse employment opportu
nities as environmental profession
als, chemists, and for successful
entry into graduate school. Pro
spective teachers also find the
cross-disciplinary approach of the
environmental/teaching degrees
provides a solid foundation for
their classroom teaching experi
ence, and increases their employ
ment options.
The Chemistry Department at Lake
Superior State University has
unique opportunities that enrich
and broaden the scope of our
environmental degree programs.
Natural settings surround the
university, which is strategically
located at the outlet of Lake
Superior and within an hour of
Lakes Huron and Michigan. This
proximity to the diverse natural
environment provides the basis for
our integration of environmental
issues and topics throughout our
courses and enriches a broad
variety of field and research
experiences available to you. We
emphasize active learning environ
ments for the student, and stress
the hands-on experiences and
training required to develop the
skills and knowledge needed after
graduation. Graduates of the
program will apply chemical
methods to the study, amelioration,
and solution of environmental
problems. Depending on their
areas of specialization and certifi
cation, graduates may find em
ployment with federal and state or
provincial agencies, industries,
businesses, public and private
schools, or as environmental
specialists and as environmental
consultants.
The environment is the central
theme of the student/faculty
research conducted within the
department. Every student partici
pates in an active and meaningful
research experience working
closely with the faculty to explore
and resolve significant issues and
problems. Student/faculty
research projects, which include a
wide diversity of subjects, often
serve to focus the student's career
interests and serve as a gateway to
their subsequent career goals. The
faculty work with you on research
projects in areas which include:
ground water and surface water
quality; the routes and effects of
water, soil and air pollution; the
physical and biological pathways
for the uptake of contaminants by
plants, animals and the soil; and
many other topics.

illustrating lava flows, intrusions,
structures and metamorphism
from the Canadian Shield and
relatively undisturbed fossil-rich
sedimentary formations from the
Michigan Basin. Proximity to
deposits of gold, iron, copper,
dolomite and other minerals as
well as oil and natural gas fields in
Michigan provides advantages to
study at Lake Superior State
University. In addition to geologyrelated courses, the department
offers courses in calculus-based
and general college physics,
geophysics and astronomy.
We use a variety of innovative,
hands-on teaching /learning
techniques that emphasize student
development of action-oriented
critical thinking and problem
solving skills. You will experience
project-centered teamwork through
participation in designing studies;
gathering, processing and inter
preting data; and drawing conclu
sions to address real-world prob
lems. You will refine necessary
communication skills by present
ing findings of your studies in
professionally accepted written
and oral forms. We take particular
pride in providing the opportunity
for undergraduate students to
participate in our active research
programs, particularly those in
paleontology and geophysics.

Established in 1946 to address the
needs of returning World War II
veterans and to provide educa
tional opportunities to the people
of the Eastern Upper Peninsula,
Lake Superior State University still
embodies the essence of the early
days. A personal education in a
safe and friendly environment
remains a hallmark of today's
LSSU.
Our beautiful 115-acre campus
overlooks the Michigan and
Ontario twin cities of Sault Ste.
Marie, the St. Mary's River, and the
world famous Soo Locks. The
school is located at the beginning
of Interstate 75 which ends in the
Florida Keys.
The campus served as Ft. Brady
starting in 1894 after the fort was
relocated from the banks of the St.
Mary's. The fort was deactivated in
1944 and, thanks to the efforts of
local volunteers and leadership at
Michigan College of Mining &
Technology in Houghton, opened
in the fall of that year as the Sault
Ste. Marie Residence Center of
MCMT.
The Sault Branch was rechristened
Lake Superior State College of
Michigan Technical University in
1966. Autonomy arrived for LSSC
in 1970. University status was
granted in 1987 to the state's
smallest public institution of
higher learning. Enrollment has
grown from the original class of
272 to more than 3,400 students.
There are 14 buildings on the
National Historic Register contrib
uting to the University's sense of
tradition. This unique architectural
blend is a reminder of the "weap
ons to plowshares" history of the
setting.
Community: Sault Ste. Marie (pop.
18,000) is one of the oldest cities in
North America, having begun as a
fur trading center in the early 17th
century. A Jesuit mission was
established here in 1641, and
Father Marquette founded the first
permanent settlement 27 years
later, within the boundaries of
what was to become Michigan. The
Sault celebrated its 300th birthday
in 1968.
Our sister city, Sault Ste. Marie,
Ontario, is a cultural, recreational,
social and entertainment center.
The combined population of the
Twin Saults (98,000) allows for an
international flavor abounding
with the opportunities of a city,
and the safety and comfort of a
small town.

�Expectations
for Student Learning
Lake Superior State University
utilizes a Student Academic
Achievement Plan developed by
the faculty to enhance continuous
quality improvement and to meet
the Assessment Initiative of the
Commission on Institutions of
Higher Education, North Central
Association of Colleges and
Schools. The intent of this plan is
to document student learning at
Lake Superior State University
both in the major program and
across the general education
requirements. This continuous
evaluation process works to assure
high quality teaching and effective
student learning. The faculty at
Lake Superior State University
have collectively agreed upon the
characteristics of the educated
person the institution hopes to
graduate and have identified
outcomes that can be used to
document these attributes. The
following are areas that the faculty
have deemed essential to a liberal
education and have value for the
students in their lives as respon
sible citizens: communication
skills, mathematics, computer
literacy, critical thinking, ethics,
aesthetics, cultural diversity, and
science and technology. Students
who complete the general educa
tion courses at Lake Superior State
University will be able to demon
strate attributes of the general
education outcomes.
Students attending Lake Superior
State University can expect com
mitment by the University to
document and enhance student
learning. Through the assessment
process, the University demon
strates its commitment to improv
ing student learning and ensures
that when students graduate they
have attained specific attributes
and abilities.
Lake Superior State University
expects a commitment on the part
of its students to actively partici
pate in the learning process.

�Please read the schedule booklet
carefully as it has dates for sched
uling according to class level, dates
for tuition payments, and informa
tion regarding prerequisites,
corequisites and other course
requirements.
It is your responsibility to ensure
that the classes you take count
toward your degree program. You
may, however, be required to take
remedial courses (course numbers
beginning with "0", such as
MA081), which will not count
toward graduation.
Test Scores: When you apply for
admission, you will send your ACT
score to Lake Superior State
University. Your score determines
the level of English, math and
reading classes into which you will
be placed. If you have been out of
high school more than 26 months
and have not taken the ACT, you
can take placement tests at the
Testing/Counseling Center at Lake
State to determine your placement
in English, math and reading.
Maximum credit load: You may
carry up to 20 credits per semester.
You may take more credits if you
have a 3.00 GPA or higher and
have written approval from the
dean of your school. Students on
academic probation should not
take more than 15 credits.
Prerequisites: Many courses
require that you complete English,
math, reading or other preliminary
classes before signing up to take
these courses. If you have not met
the prerequisite, you may be
dropped from the class during the
regular drop period with an N
grade or not allowed to sign up for
the class. Some courses require
that you earn a C or better in
prerequisite courses before sched
uling for the next course. Excep
tions may be made only by the
dean of your college or the instruc
tor of the subsequent class.
Repeats: You may repeat a class to
bring up a grade and raise your
grade point average (GPA). How
ever, you may not repeat a prereq
uisite course if you have success
fully passed the subsequent course.
Again, exceptions may be made by
the dean of your college. Note:
You will not receive extra credits
for the repeated class but your GPA
will be affected. Only the grade of
the last attempt is calculated in
your GPA.
Failed Classes: If you fail a class
required for your degree program,
you must repeat the class and
receive a passing grade. If the
failed class is no longer offered
because of program changes and/
or course deletions, the academic
dean can substitute another similar
class.
Drop/add period: You may change
your class schedule during the first
six (6) days of each semester.
Courses you drop during the
drop/add period will not appear
on your permanent record. If a
course you wish to add is full, you
must get an instructor's signature
to schedule the course.
Your add or withdrawal from a
course is not officially complete
until the appropriate form is
completed in the Center for Stu
dent Services. It's a good idea to
retain the official receipt upon
completion of any add or drop.
Late adds: If you wish to add a
class after the six-day drop/add
period, you must first get a Late
Add Form from the Registrar's
Office, and then get the instructor's
signature. Return your Late Add
Form to the Registrar's Office.
Non-attendance of the first class:
Your instructor may drop you from
a course if you do not attend or if
you do not call the instructor
before classes begin. The course
instructor will fill out a drop form
and notify you if you are dropped
from the course.
Dropping after the add/delete
period: You may drop a course
during the first 40 days of a full
semester (the last day to drop a
class is shown in the schedule book
and in the calendar of this book).

If the dean approves the drop,
the student must then bring

for processing.
A W grade will appear on your
permanent record and will not
affect your GPA.
Class attendance: Regular class
attendance and active participation
in classes are important elements in
the learning process. You are at the
University primarily for the sake of
intellectual growth and develop
ment. Attendance and participa
tion provide appropriate opportu
nities for the evaluation of your
progress.
You are personally responsible for
the satisfactory completion of the
course work prescribed by your
instructors. This means that you
are expected to attend classes
regularly, and that you are respon
sible for the work assigned in class,
the material covered in class and
for participation in class activities
(including discussion and listen
ing) designed by the instructor as
part of the learning experience.
However, mere physical atten
dance should not be a criterion for
evaluation of your performance.
Participation in an official Univer
sity function is an excused absence
when approved by the provost.
You will not be penalized for such
participation. You are responsible
for work missed and must confer
with your instructor on this matter.
Complete withdrawal: If you are a
full-time student and drop all of
your classes during the first eight
weeks of the semester, you may be
eligible for tuition refund. To
receive any refund, fill out a
Withdrawal Form at the Center for
Student Services. This office will
authorize your refund from the
Business Office. (Please check the
schedule book for the refund
policy.)
Before leaving, be sure you have
cleared any holds on your records
so you can return at a later date or
have transcripts of your academic
records sent out.

the total credits carried. Credits
carried include those earned or
failed but not those classes taken
for credit/no credit. Cumulative
GPA is calculated by dividing total
points earned by the number of
credits carried in all semesters. If
you repeat a course, count only the
credits carried and the points of the
last grade earned. Just the grade of
your last attempt is calculated in
your GPA.
A cumulative GPA of 2.00 for all
credits is required for graduation.
Further, a 2.00 cumulative grade
point average for all credits in
major and minor(s) is required.
Some programs require a higher
GPA in the major curriculum.
Incomplete grades (I): To receive
an I grade in a course which you
can not complete, you must meet
with your instructor and work out
what you need to complete to
obtain a grade. You must make up
the work by the date specified by
the instructor which must be
within a maximum of two semes
ters (excluding summer semesters)
or the incomplete grade becomes a

an I Form with the grade sheets
and you will receive a copy.
N and W grades: These grades are
given to those classes that you
have officially dropped N or
withdrawn W.
Z grade: Deferred grades are given
when the course work of a particu
lar course extends beyond a single
semester.

assistant to the provost for
academic records may allow
the student to continue "on

A student dismissed for the
third time can not be reinstated
without permission of the
provost. Three semesters must
elapse from the time of dis
missal before a petition for
readmittance is considered.
Summer may count for one
semester.
These courses have this informa
tion in the official course descrip
tion and course syllabi. The policy
and limitations outlined above do
not apply to these courses.
The Scholastic Standards
Committee may, on the recom
mendation of a college dean,
provost or vice president for
Student Programs and Ser
vices, dismiss students from
the University if their academic
progress, conduct or attitude
toward their work is deemed
unsatisfactory.
The assumption of the academic
contract is that the student does his
or her own work: any breach of
the contract is considered cheating.
The faculty member who detects a
student cheating may take appro
priate action, such as assigning a
failing grade for the entire course.
Credit/No Credit
Courses
You may enroll in some courses on
a credit/no credit basis if you are
in good academic standing. The
following conditions exist:
1.
One course per semester may
be taken as credit/no credit.
2.
Only 12 credits of courses
taken as credit/no credit may
be applied toward a degree.
3.
Courses that are required by
your major, minor, or that are
general education courses, can
not be taken for credit/no
credit.
4.
You apply at the Registrar's
Office to enroll for a credit/no
credit course during the drop/
add period; cannot change to
regular grades after the drop/
add period ends.
5.
You maintain a 2.00 C average
in a course to receive a CR
grade.
6.
Instructors are not notified that
you are taking a course as
credit/no credit; the CR or
NCR credit is assigned based
on the grade your instructor
submits.
Certain courses are always offered
with a credit/no credit format.
Cheating and
Plagiarism:
A student who cheats is subject to
dismissal from the University. If,
in the opinion of the faculty
member involved, such action is
warranted, he or she will notify the
chairman of the Scholastic Stan
dards Committee and the student
in writing. The Scholastic Stan
dards Committee will then conduct
a hearing in such a manner that the
student is given due process. If the
committee decides that dismissal is
warranted, the student shall have
five school days to appeal that
decision to the provost of the
University.
Credit by
Examination

a hearing to challenge such records
on the grounds that they are
inaccurate, misleading or inappro
priate. Educational institutions
must also obtain written consent
before releasing personally identifi-
able data about students from
records to other than a specified
list of exceptions. In addition,
students must be notified of these
rights.
In accordance with provisions of
the Act and the regulations enacted
by the Department of Health,
Education and Welfare, Lake
Superior State University has
adopted the following policies and
procedures:
The registrar is the hearing officer
for the Act and is responsible for

�Equal Opportunity
Notice of Lake Superior State
University's policy of compliance with
federal and state law
Policy
The University is an equal oppor
tunity employer and educator and
prohibits discrimination, including
harassment, on the basis of race,
color, national origin or ancestry,
gender, age, disability, religion,
height, weight, sexual preference,
marital status, or veteran status.
In carrying out this policy, the
University complies with all
federal and state laws and regula
tions prohibiting discrimination
including:
Executive Order 11246, the ElliottLarsen Civil Rights Act of 1976,
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of
1964, The Equal Pay Act of 1963,
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of
1964, as amended by the Equal
Employment Opportunity Act of
1972, and the Pregnancy Discrimi
nation Act of 1978, Title IX of the
Education Amendments of 1972,
Titles VII and VIII of the Public
Health Service Act, Age Discrimi
nation in Employment Act of 1967,
Sections 503 and 504 of the Reha
bilitation Act of 1973, Veteran's
Assistance Act of 1972, and Title II
of the Americans with Disabilities
Act of 1990.
Sexual Harassment
The University is committed to a
policy of nondiscrimination on the
basis of gender. Discrimination
because of gender includes sexual
harassment, which means unwel
come sexual advances, requests for
sexual favors, and other verbal or
physical conduct or communica
tion of a sexual nature when:
i.
Submission to such conduct or
communication is made a term
or condition either explicitly or
implicitly to obtain employ
ment, public accommodations
or public services, education, or
housing;
ii. Submission to or rejection of
such conduct or communica
tion by an individual is used as
a factor in decisions affecting
such individual's employment,
public accommodations or
public services, education, or
housing; or
Process
1.
The University encourages all
individuals to promptly report
instances of discrimination and
discriminatory harassment.
Once the University has been
informed of such behavior, it
will take timely and appropri
ate steps to investigate the
problem. At any step of the
grievance process, time sched
ules as outlined in the process
may be extended by mutual
agreement in writing.
2.
With the Grievance Officer,
individuals may discuss
concerns they may have
regarding possible discrimina
tion or harassment to learn
what options are available.
3.
Nonretaliation: The University
not only prohibits discrimina
tion, including harassment, but
also strictly prohibits any
retaliation against any indi
vidual, who, in good faith, has
registered a complaint under
this procedure. Any supervi
sor, agent, or employee of the
University who, after investi
gation, has been determined to
have retaliated against any
individual for using the
complaint procedure in this
policy, will be subject to
appropriate discipline up to
and including immediate
discharge. If an individual
believes he or she has been
retaliated against for exercising
his or her rights under this
policy, the individual should
use this complaint procedure.
4.
All matters discussed in this
process will be kept as confi
dential as possible.
5.
If an individual is dissatisfied
with the University's investiga
tion process or resolution, he
or she may file complaints of
illegal discrimination on the
basis of gender (Title IX and
Title VI) or disability (Section
504 and Title II of the ADA)
with the Office for Civil Rights,
U.S. Department of Education,
iii. Such conduct or communica
tion has the purpose or effect
of substantially interfering
with an individual's employ
ment, public accommodations
or public services, education,
or housing environment.
The University is committed to the
protection of the rights of all
individuals and to the elimination
of barriers that would prevent
individuals from realizing thenhighest potential of human excel
lence. Sexual harassment is a
particularly noxious form of
discrimination that interferes with
these goals and commitments, and
is difficult to combat due to the
intimidation and destruction of self
esteem of its victims.
Grievance Officer
The Equal Employment Opportu
nity Officer/Affirmative Action
Officer (EEO Officer) is the desig
nated grievance officer for dis
crimination complaints. If any
person believes that he or she has

�Freshmen
You may apply to Lake Superior
State University any time during
your final year of high school.
Applications are processed con
tinuously and you will be notified
of a decision within two weeks. To
complete your admission file you
must submit a final high school
transcript and ACT scores (if you
graduated from high school within
26 months of entering Lake State).
Final high school transcript must
verify graduation from an accred
ited school or passing on the GED.
To be considered official, all
transcripts must be mailed from
your high school guidance office
directly to Lake Superior State
University.
Enter your social security number
on your Application for Admis
sion. It serves as your permanent
student identification number. If
you do not wish to provide the
number, an alternate number will
be assigned. Financial aid applica
tions will not be processed without
your social security number.
Canadian applicants should not
use their social insurance number.
An alternative number will be
assigned to Canadian and other
foreign students.
The primary factors in determining
admission are ACT* scores and
grade point average. Lake State
uses an overall grade point average
(GPA). The average overall GPA
for the 1999 freshman class was
2.95 on a scale of a 4.0. The aver
age ACT composite score was a
20.9.
Students whose ACT or GPA levels
approach but do not meet LSSU
standards may be admitted via the
University Studies program.
University Studies is an arm of the
Great Lakes Academy dedicated to
providing an educational opportu
nity to students who meet certain
profiles. Students who are admit
ted via University Studies receive
additional advising and support
services to ensure their success at
LSSU.
If you are admitted via University
Studies, you will be fully entered
into your chosen major after
meeting these three simple require
ments:
*
earn 12 credits at the 100 level
or above,
*
earn a 2.00 GPA, and
*
be eligible for 100-level math,
reading and composition
courses.
Students denied regular admission
may reapply after attending
another accredited college and
earning at least 19 semester (29
quarter) hours of transferable
credit. Evaluation for admission is
then based upon the college record.
*Although Lake State prefers you take
the ACT, we will accept equivalent
SAT scores to determine admission.
ACT
The ACT is offered nationally five
times a year at many locations
including our campus. Registra
tion forms are available in high
school counseling offices or by
contacting the LSSU Counseling
and Testing Center at 906-635- 2733.
United States residents applying
for academic scholarships must
have their ACT scores sent prior to
the April 1 scholarship deadline.
Transfer Students
Transfer students must possess a
2.0 cumulative college GPA and be
eligible to return to your former
college(s). If you have completed
fewer than 19 semester (29 quarter)
hours of credit, you must send an
official high school transcript or
GED scores in addition to your
college transcript (and ACT scores
if you graduated from high school
within 26 months of the semester
of entry).

�Contact the Registrar's Office or
high school guidance office to have
an official transcript mailed to our
Registrar's Office. Transcripts sent
via facsimile or hand delivered are
not considered official. All tran
scripts become the property of
Lake Superior State University and
are not returnable.
Your complete application should
be submitted at least 30 days prior
to the semester of entry. Transfer
students denied admission may
reapply after taking additional
courses that raise their overall GPA
to above a 2.0.
Credit Evaluations
Official evaluation of transfer
credit is made as quickly as pos
sible after you are admitted. The
Admissions Office will help you
with an unofficial transcript review
at your request.
If a course taken at another institu
tion is not offered at Lake State,
elective credit may be granted for
that course. Elective credits may
be applied toward degree require
ments but may not be used to
satisfy any specific course require
ment.
Grades less than C- will not transfer.
The Registrar's Office completes
transfer credit evaluations. The
decision on courses and transfer
credit granted may be appealed
first to the academic dean and then
to the provost.
Provisional Credit
Credit earned at an institution not
listed in the American Council of
Education's publication, Accredited
Institutions of Post-Secondary
Education is granted provisionally.
You must complete at least 15
semester hours of credit with a
cumulative GPA of 2.00 at LSSU
before provisional credits will
become part of your permanent
record.
MAC RAO Agreement
Michigan community college
students admitted to Lake State
who have the MACRAO stamp on
their transcript are recognized as
having completed the general
education requirements at Lake
State.
Early Admission
Policy
Students under the age of 18 that
apply for early admission to LSSU
that do not possess a high school
diploma or GED will be counseled
on an individual basis by a mem
ber of the Admissions staff. Early
applicants to LSSU must provide
an official transcript of all high
school work and test scores from
either ACT or SAT.
If the applicant is unable to pro
vide the necessary data he or she
will be required to take LSSU's
placement tests. The results of
these tests, along with the high
school record, will be used to
determine the applicant's eligibility
for admission. It is required that
the applicant meet with a represen
tative of the Financial Aid Office as
early admission may affect finan
cial aid eligibility.
Residency
Requirement
There is no limit to the number of
transfer credits allowed from other
institutions. Bachelor's degree
candidates must earn at least 32 of
their final 40 credits and at least 50
percent of their departmental
required 300/400-level credits in
Lake State courses.
Regional center students must earn
at least 32 credits and at least 50
percent of their departmental
required 300/400-level credits in
Lake State courses.
Associate's degree and certificate
candidates must earn 16 of their
final 20 credits in Lake State courses.

Canadian Students
If you are an Ontario student
applying on the basis of high
school records, you are evaluated
on your ACT score and grade point
average for all A- and G-level
courses. Two grading scales are
used when evaluating Ontario
secondary school applicants (see
table). OAC and A-level courses
are considered more demanding
and their contents more appropri
ate preparation for university-level 7
courses. B- and W-level courses are
never included in the grade point
average.
Additional information for Ontario
secondary school students is
available in the Ontario Student
Handbook published by the
Admissions Office.
If you are a Canadian applicant
from a province other than On
tario, your application is evaluated
based on the education system in
your province.
If you completed grade 13 or OAC
courses before September 1990,
you will receive transfer credit at
the University for each course in
which your final mark was at least
a 60 percent. Transfer credit is not
given for any OAC courses taken
after September 1990. However,
completion of OAC courses
prepares some students to earn
credit through testing. (See section
titled "Credit by Examination").
Guest Students
Students enrolled at another
college or university may be
admitted to Lake State for one
semester as a guest student. An
extension of one additional semes

Tech Prep
The national tech prep movement
is supported at Lake State. As a
testimony of its institutional
support, grades earned in applied
high school science and mathemat
ics courses contribute to the high
school GPA computed for univer
sity admission. Tech prep, with its
emphasis upon curricular integra
tion between secondary and post
secondary educational institutions,
helps Lake State create a broader
array of educational options for
our students.
Lake Superior State University has
articulation agreements with area
high schools to enhance applied
and career educational opportuni
ties at the post-secondary level. In
tandem with its regional secondary
education partners, Lake State has
created pathways to applied
education for specified curricula in
business and technology. Univer

degree requirements for high
school work if certain competen
cies are met. Check with your high
school guidance counselor or a
Lake State admissions officer to
verify whether a specific course
may apply.
Dual Enrollment for

Policy: Tuition/Fees
All tuition and fees are payable

enrollment cancellation until all
amounts due the University are
paid or satisfactory arrangements
are made with the Business Office.
The director of the Student Service
Center will deny registration to
anyone who is delinquent in any
obligation to the University.
Additionally, University services
will not be provided until financial
obligations are met. Registration is
not complete until fees are paid. A
check or draft returned to the
University and not honored by the
bank constitutes nonpayment and
results in cancellation of registra
tion.
Auditing: Audits are designed for
someone who wishes to take a
particular course for its content but
not be graded for the course. An
LSSU student may register for any
course on an audit basis provided
all prerequisites have been satisfied.
The coursework for auditing a
course is determined in conjunc
tion with the faculty member for
the course.
Auditing courses do not count as
part of a student's official class
load for determining financial aid
eligibility, veteran's benefits or any
other enrollment certification
requirements.
Students may change from an
audit to credit status during the
first week of classes and only with
the concurrence of the faculty
member for the course. This
change must be processed through
the Registrar's Office for grading
purposes.
Students are assessed full tuition
and fees for the course and an AU
grade is recorded on the student's
official transcript.
Michigan residents who are 60
years of age or older may audit
undergraduate courses compli
ments of LSSU with no record kept
of their audits.

�Financial Aid
Rewarding the scholar and meet
ing the needs of those who apply
for financial assistance is a high
priority at Lake Superior State
University. The doors of opportu
nity are seldom closed because of a
financial condition.
You may qualify for a combination
of University, state and federal
programs—a financial aid pack
age— which may include a combi
nation of scholarship, loan, grant,
and/or work assistance. Full-time
undergraduates take priority in aid
awards.
Carefully consider the full cost of
your education, parental support,
and savings — including summer
employment — to determine your
need for financial aid. If you
possess excellent high school or
community college grades, you are
encouraged to apply for scholar
ships regardless of need. Those
with need are considered for loans,
grants and/or employment based
on need established from the Free
Application for Federal Student
Aid (FAFSA).
You can obtain information on all
financial aid programs from the
Financial Aid staff. Staff are
available to advise you and your
parents about the costs of attend
ing the University, availability of
financial aid and application
procedures.
Applying: You can apply for
financial aid by obtaining a FAFSA
form from your high school
counselor or contacting the Finan
cial Aid Office, Lake Superior State
University, 650 W. Easterday Ave.,
Sault Ste. Marie, MI 49783. You
may also file your FAFSA on-line
at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
Once your FAFSA is received by
LSSU and your admission is
complete, you will receive an
"Offer of Financial Aid" letter from
the Financial Aid Office.
Scholarship requirements: Incom
ing freshmen must have a mini
mum of 3.0 to qualify for an LSSU
scholarship. The recipient of any
award must be a full-time student
carrying 12 academic hours or more
each semester (except regional center
recipients).
Scholarship recipients are usually
selected based on competitive
examinations, scholastic records
and/or financial need. The Ameri
can College Test serves as the
University's primary test for
scholarship applicants. Test results
must be on file by April 1.
All freshmen who are Michigan
residents are encouraged to com
plete the Michigan Educational
Assessment Program (MEAP) test
to determine eligibility for addi
tional state aid.
Notification of scholarship
awards begins November 1 for
students admitting for the
following fall semester.
You and your parents or guardian
must complete a Free Application
for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to
apply for financial assistance. The
form must be received by the
processor before February 21
(incoming freshmen) or March 21
(returning students) to assure
priority aid consideration.
Satisfactory
Academic Progress
Requirements for the
Retention of
Financial Aid
If you are receiving anyform of
financial aid, you must meet these
satisfactory academic progress require
ments to retain your aid each semester.
Financial aid regulations require that
a student must make satisfactory
progress to remain eligible for
financial aid. Financial aid programs
affected by this policy are Federal
Pell Grant, Federal Perkins Loan,
Federal College Work-Study, Federal
Supplemental Educational Opportu
nity Grant, Federal Direct Loans,
Federal PLUS Loans, State of

*Semester hours (includes
transfer credit hours)
Michigan and Institutional Scholar
ships, Grant, Loan and Work
Programs.
Transfer Students
The requirements for transfer
students are based on the number
of full-time equivalent credits
transferred to LSSU. For example,
a student with 68 transfer credits
must earn a G.P.A. of 1.93 or higher.
Application of Policy
First-year freshmen and new
transfer students not meeting the
GPA requirement after their first
semester at LSSU, will be placed on
financial aid probation for one
semester. The cumulative GPA
after the probationary semester
must satisfy the minimum GPA
requirements or the student will
have his/her financial aid sus
pended. Students that have been
enrolled for more than one semes
ter will not have a probationary
semester and must meet the
schedule above each semester.
Quantitative Standards
Students are expected to complete
a two-year degree in six semesters,
a four-year degree in 12 semesters,
a teacher's certification program in
three semesters and a master's
degree in four semesters of full-time
study. Eligibility is terminated after
sue semesters (associate's), 12
semesters (bachelor's), three
semesters (teacher's certification),
and four semesters (master's), or
after attempting 150 percent of the
credits required for the degree.
Each student's progress in credits
earned will be reviewed every
semester. The following credits
must be earned in relation to the
number of credits enrolled at the
end of the add period:

he/she will be placed on financial
aid probation for the next semester.
If a student fails to meet the
standard for the second consecu
tive semester enrolled, his/her
financial aid will be suspended.
Once financial aid is suspended,
both the GPA and credit hour
completion criteria must be met in
subsequent semesters before
reinstatement of aid is possible.
If completion of 1 grades or other
record changes warrant a reinstate
ment, the student must present a
written notice from the Registrar/
Scheduling Office to the Financial
Aid Office by the end of the

Federal Perkins Loan
The Federal Carl Perkins Student
Loan program is for students
enrolled at least half time in an
eligible program who need a loan
to meet educational expenses.
Students may borrow up to $3,000
for each year of undergraduate
study. The maximum debt for
undergraduates is $15,000. The
amount awarded by the University
is generally less due to limited
funds.
Repayment begins nine months
after students graduate or leave
school for other reasons. There is a
10-year pay back period, at five
percent interest on the unpaid
balance of the loan principal.
The amount of the repayment
depends on the size of the debt and
ability to pay. In most cases,
students must pay at least $40 a
month. Any agreement for a lesser
amount must be attributable to
extraordinary circumstances such
as prolonged unemployment.
Default: If a student defaults on a
Perkins Loan and the school is
unable to collect, the federal
government will take action to
recover the loan. In cases of
bankruptcy, total or permanent
disability or death, loan obligations
are canceled.
Deferment of payment is available if:
1. you are enrolled and attending
as at least a half time student at
an institution of higher educa
tion.
2.
for any period not to exceed
three (3) years
A. unable to find full-time

and $5,500 as a junior or senior.
The lifetime maximum amount is
$23,000. Eligibility is based on
financial need for subsidized loans.
Subsidized loans are eligible for

repayments). Financial need must
be shown to receive this type of
loan.
For students without financial
need, the Direct Loan Program

The federal government charges
interest on these loans while
attending school, in the grace
period, or in deferment.
The student loan program is
administered through the Financial
Aid Office under the Direct Loan
Program. A three percent loan fee
is charged on all loans, under
federal law. Loans are disbursed in
two equal disbursements (one-half
in the fall semester; one-half in the

Housing
A variety of housing facilities are

LSSU for 12 credit hours or more,
there are mandatory policies that
apply.
Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2273 • 59
�If you are unmarried and/or a
nonveteran enrolled in 12 hours or
more and are within 27 calendar
months of your high school gradu
ation, you must reside in a Univer
sity residence hall.
High school graduation dates are
assumed to be June 1 for this
purpose. The exceptions are:
1.
2.
3.
If you live with your parents
within a 60-mile radius or the
three-county (Chippewa, Luce
and Mackinac) service area of
the University. An exception
application is available in the
Housing Office and must be
approved by the Housing
director.
If you are exempted in writing
by the Housing director when
residence hall space is filled.
If you have unusual financial
or health problems. Permis
sion must be granted by the
vice president for Student
Programs and Services.
The University reserves the right to
assign all students within the
residence halls. Housing prefer
ences are considered according to
the dates of receipt of application.
Freshmen are usually accorded
priority in residence hall assign
ments and upperclassmen hold
priority in apartment assignments.
The University recognizes that
exceptions to these policies may
arise. Requests for permission to
live off-campus will be considered
by the vice president for student
programs and services, who shall
apply the following criteria to a
request to live off campus for
financial reasons:
"Financial hardship" is a situation
in which the total resources of the
student and family added to the
total financial aid available from
the University does not equal the
dollar amount budgeted by the
Financial Aid Office as the mini
mum required for on-campus
residency. In such a situation, there
are two alternatives: a) withdrawal
from the dormitory or b) with-
drawal from the University. An
example is a student whose
financial situation changed sud
denly during the year (perhaps due
to the death of a parent) and who
applies for assistance after the aid
program is depleted.
A number of student campus
apartments in the Student Village
and Townhouses are available.
Married students or groups of
single students desiring these
accommodations should contact
the Housing director.
The University reserves the right to
transfer students to the Townhouses or the Student Village
during the year. Such transfers are
normally made between semesters.

Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2273 • 61
�and/or students whose parents do
not have college degrees. The
program provides academic
support, career exploration and
advising, and cultural growth
experiences designed to enhance
educational success. Upward
Bound works with these students
year-round throughout high school
to prepare them to enter and
succeed in post-secondary educa
tion. The programs serves about
60 students each year from six area
high schools within an hour's
drive from LSSU's campus.
Upward Bound hires at least 25
college students each year as tutors
and office workers during the
academic year and for residential
jobs during the summer. The
program is one of the few sites
offering paid summer internships
for students in human services,
psychology, sociology and criminal
justice.
Child Development
Center
The campus Child Development
Center provides full-or part time
care for children ages 2 1/2 to 5
years. Children of LSSU students
and employees are given priority
in admission; however, children
from the community can be
admitted as space allows. Children
must be near completion of their
toilet-training. The center, licensed
by the State of Michigan Family
Independence Agency, provides
developmentally appropriate
experiences for the child and
emphasizes social, emotional,
creative, physical and cognitive
growth. Each morning and after
noon, under the guidance of
experienced staff, students enrolled
in the early childhood education
program plan and supervise large
and small group activities includ
ing art, language arts, gross motor,
fine motor, and outdoor play. A
significant portion of each day is
devoted to exploratory play where
children move through the various
learning areas electing to partici
pate in any one of a wide variety of
activities interacting with develop
mental^ appropriate learning
materials. The Child Development
Center is located at the southeast
end of campus.
Student-Faculty
Relations Committee
(Appeals)
Function. The Student-Faculty
Relations Committee provides a
forum for resolving conflicts
between students and faculty
members which may arise with
classroom or course-related activi
ties, policies or procedures. The
committee will not consider cases
involving ADA compliance or any
other matter it deems inappropri
ate. This committee is strictly an
informal mediation body which
will forward recommendations for
resolution to the parties involved
(with a copy to the executive vice
president and provost).
Membership. The University
president appoints the committee
membership to two-year terms.
There are four faculty representa
tives (at least one from each
college) and four student represen
tatives. The chair is chosen by the
committee membership.
Procedures
1.
If a student (or group of
students) wishes to raise an
issue related to a course which
he/she is taking or has taken
(normally within one semes
ter), the student should at
tempt to resolve the issue at
the student/faculty, depart
ment head or appropriate
college dean level. If the
matter cannot be resolved at
the lowest possible levels, the
student may appeal to the
Student-Faculty Relations
committee informing them of
the problem. In exceptional
cases, the student may ap
proach the Student-Faculty
Relations Committee directly.
62 • Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2273
�2.
3.
To bring an issue before the
Student-Faculty Relations
committee, the student must
notify the Student-Faculty
Relations Committee in
writing. This document must
clearly explain the situation
and include the student's
name, current address, a
message telephone number
and times when the student is
available to meet with the
committee. Supporting
documentation may be in
cluded as well. The written
appeal should be submitted
directly to the committee chair.
The Executive Vice President
and Provost's Office will know
the name of the committee
chair.
Once the committee members
have had an opportunity to
review the student's concern,
they will conduct an informal
fact-finding process. As a part
of the process, the student will
be invited to meet with the
committee for further clarifica
tion. This meeting will be 20
minutes in length with 10
minutes of question and
answer by the committee. The
other party will also be invited
to meet with the committee
following the same format.
Both parties will then be asked
to meet together with the
committee in an effort to foster
communication, clarification
and resolution. The most
desirable arrangement would
be for this step to occur at one
setting. The committee will
strive to be as expeditious as
possible. There may be extenu
ating circumstances such as
semester break or summer
recess.
4.
If there is no resolution after
this joint meeting of the parties
involved, or if the outcome of
this process is not acceptable to
the student or the faculty
member, he/she may appeal to
the executive vice president
and provost of the University.
5.
The committee will keep no
permanent records.

Failed Classes
If you fail a class required for your
degree program, you must repeat
the class and receive a passing
grade. If the failed class is no
longer offered because of program
changes and/or course deletions,
the academic dean can substitute
another similar class.
Exceptions to
Graduation
Requirements
Exceptions to specific general
education requirements may be
granted only by the Scholastic
Standards Committee. Such
exceptions are infrequently made.
A petition for exceptions to general
education requirements is initiated
with the assistant to the provost for
academic records.
Course substitutions and waivers
of departmental degree program
requirements may be granted only
by the dean of the college offering
the program (major or minor).
Normally, you will graduate under
the program degree requirements
in effect and published in the
Catalog at the time you are admit
ted into the given degree program,
provided enrollment at the Univer
sity is continuous. If enrollment is
interrupted, or if you select a new
major, you must satisfy program
requirements in effect at the time
you reenter or officially change to
the new major. If program require
ments are revised during your
enrollment, you will be allowed to
graduate under the new require
ments providing you can meet
such requirements in their entirety.
The University reserves the right to
change the requirements for
graduation at any time as a means
of keeping pace with educational
developments affecting the various
curricula. As such changes are
made, they may, at the discretion of
the University, be applied to stu
dents already enrolled. In such
cases, reasonable and prudent effort
will be made to provide the benefit
of the new educational program
without imposing undue hardship.

�Graduation Procedures
Degree candidacy procedure: Two
semesters before students plan to
complete degree requirements and
graduate, they must submit an
appropriate departmental degree
audit for each major and minor,
and a Declaration of Candidacy for
Degree to the assistant to the
provost in the Academic Records
Office. The necessary forms are
available at the student's major
departmental office.
The departmental Degree Audit for
a student's major or minor speci
fies all required courses that have
been or must be completed. The
audit must be signed by the school
chair and/or dean of the college
offering the major or minor pro
gram. Course substitutions and
waivers of departmental degree
program requirements may be
granted only by the dean of the
college offering the major or minor
program. Exceptions to specific
general education requirements
may be granted only by the Scho
lastic Standards Committee. Such
exceptions are infrequently made.
A petition for exceptions to general
education requirements is initiated
with the assistant to the provost.
The assistant to the provost checks
students' Degree Audits, after
which a preliminary verification of
the Degree Audit is sent to each
student and respective school chair.
Students are responsible for
examining this verification and
requesting clarification of anything
that is not consistent with their
records or understanding.
From the Declaration of Candidacy
for Degree forms submitted by
students, a potential graduate list
is created for each semester.
Names for the commencement
program and diploma will be the
official, legal name as listed in the
records of the University. The
names of students who are listed in
the annual commencement pro
gram are also compiled from
Declaration of Candidacy for
Degree forms. Students may not
be listed in the commencement
program unless their Degree
Candidacy Form is filed with the
assistant to the provost six weeks
prior to commencement. Students
are expected to attend commence
ment exercises unless excused by
the assistant to the provost. Stu
dents completing degree require
ments during the summer may
participate in commencement the
previous semester if their degree
candidacy form is received six
weeks prior to commencement.
After grades are received at the
end of each semester, Degree
Audits will be updated for all
students completing credit and
who have a Degree Candidacy
Form on file. When all require
ments specified on the Degree
Audit are fulfilled, the college dean
and/or school chair and assistant
to the provost give a final ap
proval. Names of these graduates
are then sent to the president for
approval by the Board of Trustees.
Subsequently, a diploma is pro
vided to each student.
Diploma charge: There is no
charge for the first diploma from
the University. A fee is charged for
replacement diplomas.
Students completing graduation
requirements in the fall semester or
summer, or who otherwise need
documentation of completion
before their diploma is available,
will receive a letter certifying that
they have completed degree
requirements. Additionally, official
University transcripts will be sent
to any employer, graduate univer
sity, or elsewhere, as requested by
the graduate. Official transcripts
will not be mailed to students.
Graduation with honors: Honors
graduates must earn at least 32
credits at Lake State.

with an overall grade point aver
age of 3.5 or better at graduation.
The 21 honors credit hours are to
be distributed among the
University's requirements for
general education, the student's
major and the University honors
program.
Upon graduation from the honors
program, the student will receive
an honors degree in his/her
program of study. The honors
degree designation is indicated on
the student's diploma and is
distinct from graduating with
honors (see Graduation with
Honors).
Honors Degree
The University Honors Program
offers highly motivated students
the opportunity to develop their
abilities and skills in exciting and
innovative ways. The central goal
of the University honors program
is to create a community of schol
ars characterized by strong stu
dent-faculty interaction around the
world of ideas. The honors pro
gram fosters an approach to
education that incorporates the
qualities of active participation,
intellectual curiosity and an
interdisciplinary focus.
Selection is based upon a number
of factors, including: ACT scores,
high school grade point average,
application essay, personal inter
view and Lake State faculty
nomination. Students invited to
participate in the program enroll in
courses designated for honors
credit. The courses are distributed
among the requirements for
general education, the student's
major, and the University honors
program and may include small
seminars or independent research
projects.
To graduate with an honors degree
in a program of study, the honors
student must have formal accep
tance into the University honors
program and have successfully

Program Description:
Career Description:
The legal assistant profession is
one of the occupations projected to
grow the fastest through the year
2005 according to the U.S. Depart
ment of Labor. A legal assistant (or
paralegal) is a valued member of
the legal team and works under the
supervision of attorneys.
Litigation Legal Assistant —
conducts research; drafts legal
pleadings and documents; inter
views clients and witnesses;
investigates, gathers and organizes
case information; assists at trial.
This program is designed to train
qualified legal assistants capable of
working in a variety of areas of the
law and in a variety of work
environments. Consequently, the
role and job duties of a legal
assistant vary depending on the
areas of law and work environ
ment in which a legal assistant is
employed. Such diversity, varied
challenges, and employment
possibilities are what makes the
legal assistant profession so
interesting and rewarding.
There are four different degrees or
offerings in legal assistant studies.
They are as follows: (1) a four-year
baccalaureate degree in legal
assistant studies with an emphasis
in legal administration, criminal
law, personal injury, labor law,
legislative/constitutional law or a
selected minor as approved by the
legal assistant studies coordinator;
(2) a two-year associate's degree in
legal assistant studies; (3) a post
baccalaureate (one-year) certificate
in legal assistant studies (which is
available to students who already
have a bachelor's degree in some
other discipline and wish to make
a career change or advancement);
or (4) a minor in legal assistant
studies which can complement
various majors (and may also be
helpful to students who are plan
ning on attending law school). The
requirements for these programs
are based upon the guidelines of
the National Association of Legal
Assistants.
Corporate Legal Assistant —
drafts and/or analyzes various
legal documents; attends meetings,
negotiations or closings; performs
legal and factual research; monitors
compliance with applicable indus
try regulations; assists attorneys
with preparation for collective
bargaining, contract negotiations,
administrative hearings or trials.
Criminal Law Legal Assistant —
conducts comprehensive inter
views of defendants, law enforce
ment, victims, and/or witnesses;
performs case and field investiga
tions; locates and coordinates
usage of applicable experts;
prepares motions, briefs or other
legal documents; acts as a litigation
assistant during trial and any appeal.
Governmental Legal Assistant —
works as an immigration specialist;
civil rights analyst; environmental
protection specialist; mediation
specialist; legislative analyst;
workers compensation claims
examiner, etc. (even the White
House has employed legal assis
tants).
Real Estate Legal Assistant —
conducts title searches; drafts real
estate closing documents; monitors
compliance with title, survey,
disclosure and/or regulatory
requirements; schedules and
participates in real estate closings.
Note: The above career descriptions are
only a sampling of the numerous
avenues available to legal assistants.

ment listings.

The B.A. Chemistry Program is
offered in response to student
demand and interest. The degree
may be used alone as a traditional
chemistry degree or for a dual
major. Building on the strength of
our Environmental Chemistry
Program, this degree features
several key advantages. With 23
free electives and a common
general education core, this
program can be used in combina
tion with any of a number of
majors such as pre-law, engineer
ing, literature, business, biology,
etc. to match student interest and
career plans.
Chemist — works in business and
industry, and environmental and
commercial laboratories conduct
ing basic and applied chemical

plines and industries, and many
proceed on to graduate school in
natural sciences, law, engineering
and medicine. Internships in
chemistry are encouraged where
students can gain valuable realworld work experience while
gaining college credit. In addition,
each student participates in an
applied research project in close
collaboration with faculty mem
bers to address meaningful chemi
cal-based problems. These
projects, through the excellent
preparation they provide our
students, are often cited as impor
tant factors in successful job
searches and entry into graduate
programs.

Three-Year Degree
for a BS in CJ
following the
NRT Degree
Bachelor of Science
See Department of
Biology
Students with a particular interest in state and
federal laws enacted to protect our natural
resources and federal restrictions on the use of
our renewable resources should consider
obtaining both an associate’s degree in natural
resources technology (two years) and a bachelor
of science degree in criminal justice (three
additional years). The NRT degree will provide
the student with a good general background in
natural resources and the criminal justice degree
will allow the student to be fully qualified for
many different law enforcement opportunities.
Jobs for conservation law officers are limited,
but the above configuration of degrees prepares
a student to be highly competitive for openings
that do occur. Students selecting this course of
study should work closely with their advisor in
order to complete both degrees in the five-year
span. After completing the two-year NRT
associate’s degree, students would complete the
following sequence of courses. This plan
assumes NICOLES certification and 92 additional
hours following the NRT degree.

Program Description:
Career Descriptions:
Environmental chemists seek to
understand and address environ
mental problems within the context
of chemical systems. While
environmental chemistry is truly
an interdisciplinary field, the
particular emphasis on examining
natural systems through chemistry
and chemical analysis focuses the
graduate more firmly within the
physical sciences. Key features of
this program include coursework
on environmental impact assess
ment, air and water chemistry. By
seeking solutions for such chemi
cally based environmental prob
lems as water pollution, hazardous
wastes, and acid rain, environmen
tal chemists help ensure a safe,
healthful environment for all living
things.
Environmental Chemist — collects
and analyzes samples; develops
remediation programs, changing
production processes to reduce
environmental impact; advises on
safety and emergency response.
The secondary teaching major,
environmental chemistry/second
ary education, combines a major in
chemistry with an interdisciplinary
minor in the natural sciences to
prepare science teachers at the
junior and senior high school level.
Students combine a strong concern
and background in environmental
issues and solutions, with an
interest in a career as a secondary
teacher. Students complete require
ments for a chemistry major with
the interdisciplinary group science
(DX endorsement) minor, leading
to teacher certification which
enables you to teach all science
subjects grades 7-12. Teacher
education programs at LSSU
include a full fifth year teaching
internship. Contact the Teacher
Education Department for addi
tional information
Environmental Field Technician
— responsible for groundwater
sampling, soil sampling and other
field efforts.
Field Chemist — supervises field
technicians; packages chemicals for
transportation and disposal; loads
and unloads supply trucks. Cus
tomer relation skills are essential.
Physical Science Technician —
performs technical procedures
related to chemical analyses of
plant and animal tissues, soils,
sediments and waters for environ
mental contaminant, including
sample receipt, storage, homogeni
zation, extraction, cleanup, diges
tion analysis, and reporting.
Physical or Biological Scientist
(Research) — assists policy devel
opment/coordination with other
bureaus/government agencies;
coordinates research activities and
development of solutions to
extremely complex, obscure and
critical problems.
Laboratory Chemist — has knowl
edge of EPA methods for volatile,
semi-volatile analysis and metals;
instrument proficiency, with
instrument troubleshooting a plus;
good organizational skills, atten
tion to detail, and a will to succeed.
Science Teacher — responsible for
developing and implementing
science curriculum in grades 7-12;
daily classroom operations; devel
ops professional relationships with
students, parents, district faculty
and staff.

Career Descriptions:
Public Health Officer — works
with local public health offices to
protect citizens and the environ
ment; develops and implements
public health initiatives and
enforces existing environmental
regulations.
Career Choices:
The B.S. in environmental health is
offered in response to strong
student, state and local govern
ment support for an academic
program to prepare students for
careers in public health, environ
mental health and related fields.
Graduates of this program will be
prepared to seek employment in
jobs with titles like public health
officer, environmental technician,
and scientist, as well as many
others. After working in the field
for a period of time, graduates may
sit for the Registered Sanitarian
(RS) examination and achieve state
certification, or for the Registered
Environmental Health Specialist
(REHS) examination and achieve
national certification.
This program is similar to the
successful environmental science
degree, but includes many required
elements that are specifically
directed to public health. These
includes courses in Geographic
Information Systems and Global
Positioning Systems, Hydrology
and Groundwater, Toxicology and
Epidemiology, Public Health Care
and Public Administration. Stu
dents participate in an applied
research project in close collabora
tion with faculty members to
address meaningful environmental
health problems. These projects,
through the excellent preparation
they provide our students, are
often cited as important factors in
successful job searches and entry
into graduate programs

For more information on
the components of this
program, please see the
director of the Fine Arts
Program.
Program Description:
Career Description:
This Fine Arts Studies program is
an integrated, bi-national program
offered by a three-member consor
tium situated in Sault Ste. Marie:
Algoma University, Lake Superior
State University, and Sault College
of Applied Arts and Technology.
The program is designed and
administered in such a way as to
serve the region as a whole, to
reflect the uniqueness of our
northern heritage, to be interna
tional in scope and to integrate
courses of study at both the college
and university levels.
This degree will prepare you for
further studies in professional
schools specializing in fine arts
training; for employment in the
rapidly expanding arts, entertain
ment and communication indus
tries; or to apply your enhanced
talents as working artists.
The fine arts degree is for students
who have wide-ranging interests in
fine arts, and who wish to explore
and express their potential through
following a personalized course of
study. While students will invari
ably participate in a broad range of
courses, they must select two main
areas of focus (concentrations) from
the following six: advertising art
and graphic design, music, native
arts and culture, theater, visual arts
and writing.
Fine arts have been an important
aspect of the human experience
since first recorded history; from
African cave paintings to Greek
dramas, from Beethoven sympho
nies to the writings of Canadian
playwrights. From the study of fine
arts we can gain an understanding
of various cultures through their
own indigenous means of expres
sion. Furthermore, we can deepen
our understanding of our own
culture by participation in various
contemporary art forms (drama,
music, painting, writing etc.). Most
important, by exploring our own
creative potential, we can develop
a better understanding of our
selves.
Fine Arts Professional —prepares
you for working as a managing
director of a department of music,
arts, theater or performance.
Teacher of Fine Arts — develops
courses, maintains studios and
supplies, teaches in elementary or
secondary education fields or
community theaters.

musician; is active in the perform
ing arts and theater; and creates
and sells crafts and paintings.

designs and implements programs
and services; assists with adminis
tering programs, cultural events
and art galleries.
Marketing/Design — works on
publications, displays, annual
exhibitions, educational programs,
craft fairs, galleries, museums and
sales.

Program Description:
Career Description:
Geology deals with the dynamic
Earth and its physical, chemical
and biologic history. It involves
the study of changes that are
taking and have taken place and
the forces that cause these changes.
For example, geologists interpret
the movements of the continents
over geologic time and the forma
tion of mountains, volcanoes and
other features of the Earth's
surface. Geologists attempt to
understand our physical environ
ment from which we derive most
of the natural resources essential to
civilization. They investigate the
processes that led to the formation
of mineral deposits, and oil, gas
and coal. They also study environ
mental change throughout the
history of the Earth and how that
change and the development of life
are related. Geologists attempt to
predict natural disasters such as
earthquakes, volcanic eruptions,
and landslides, and they are very
active in modeling groundwater
flow to develop water reserves for
municipalities and to protect
groundwater from contamination.
Geologists study the constraints
imposed by nature and apply their
knowledge to achieve harmony
between the human race and its
environment.
Energy Fuels Exploration Geolo
gist — searches worldwide for
petroleum, gas, coal. Career
opportunities are with integrated
energy fuels exploration companies
and government agencies.
Mineral Exploration and Produc
tion Geologist — studies the
origin, occurrences and extraction
of metallic and non-metallic
mineral resources such as gold,
iron, uranium, diamonds, clay and
limestone. Career opportunities are
with many different kinds of
companies and government agencies.
Paleontologist — studies the
origin and evolution of life through
time and its applications to inter
preting the geologic record. Career
opportunities are with energy
companies, museums, universities,
government agencies.
Geophysicist — uses non-destruc
tive methods to determine the
electrical, magnetic, gravimetric
and seismic properties of earth
with applications to exploration
and environmental concerns.
Career opportunities are with
integrated energy, mineral and
environmental companies, consult
ing firms and government agencies.
Environmental Geologist/
Hydrogeologist — studies surface
and groundwater supplies and
contamination; flooding and land
slide potential; and environmental
quality issues such as chemical
contamination of soils and solid
waste disposal. Career opportuni
ties are with companies in many
industries, government agencies,
and consulting firms.
Teacher — teaches geology and
earth science in elementary and
secondary schools and many
specialized fields of geology at the
college level.

Program Description:
Career Description:
Manufacturing engineering
technology (MfgET) is a multi
disciplinary field that integrates
knowledge from areas of study
such as science, math, computers,
mechanical engineering, electronics
engineering, management and
economics. MfgET is a profession
that gives you the expertise to
develop tools, processes, machines
and equipment to make quality
products at a reasonable cost. The
profession also involves working
with and coordination of people
from several other fields.
Whether it be a single gear or a
complete automobile engine, the
complete set of events that results
in a finished product is planned
and implemented by a manufactur
ing engineer. Once you graduate
from LSSU, you will have many
manufacturing career choices
ranging from applied technical
research to management of systems
and personnel. Typical graduates
have obtained engineering and
technology positions in design of
automated manufacturing systems,
computer-aided design and
manufacturing, quality control,
robotics applications, automotive
component manufacturing, design
of manufacturing processes and
equipment, maintenance, sales and
management of manufacturing
systems. Some graduates have also
transferred to graduate schools to
pursue master's and doctoral
degrees.
In addition to providing a strong
background in the fundamentals of
manufacturing engineering tech
nology, the program places an
emphasis in the application of
computer systems to modern
manufacturing. This includes
topics such as robotics, computeraided design (CAD), program
mable logic controllers (PLC), and
computer-aided manufacturing
(CAM). The classes and labs in the
curriculum average about 15
students and are taught by faculty
who are dedicated to undergradu
ate teaching excellence.
Students pursuing the B.S. degree
in manufacturing at LSSU have the
option to specialize in robotics and
automation. LSSU is one of only
two universities in the U.S. to offer
the robotics specialization in the
ABET-accredited manufacturing
engineering technology B.S.
degree.
A scientific "high technology"
basis in the field of manufacturing

Program Description:
Career Description:
Mathematics:
Operations Research Analyst —
helps organizations operate as
efficiently as possible through the
application of mathematical
principles to organizational
problems.
Many who major in the field of
mathematics combine those studies
with education courses and obtain
employment as teachers. People
with mathematics degrees are
found in a broad range of occupa
tions where quantitative skills are
needed; one of the largest employ
ers of mathematics is the National
Security Agency. Often a minor
field of study (such as computer
science) provides the supporting
credential for entry-level jobs.
Actuarial and Business Applications:
The actuarial and business applica
tions option combines mathemati
cal knowledge with quantitative
business applications. The result is
a very marketable degree that
provides many exciting career
opportunities for graduates. A
student should be prepared to take
the first actuarial examination in
the spring of his/her junior year
and the second examination the
following spring. A student
choosing this emphasis will
complete a minor in accountingfinance.
Teaching degrees — a completion
of a fifth-year internship and
graduate course work qualifies you
for elementary or secondary
teacher certification in Michigan
and Ontario, as well as reciprocity
with several other states.
Graduate school — an under
graduate mathematics major with
emphasis on abstraction, together
with an analytical approach to
problem solving, continues to
provide strong preparation for
graduate work in diverse fields —
especially when combined with a
minor in the related field.
Statistician — government agen
cies such as the Bureau of Labor
employ statisticians to monitor the
consumer price index, employment
statistics and the like. Industries
use statisticians in their efforts to
forecast future needs, to implement
quality control, and to design
information-gathering strategies.
Research Assistant — mathemati
cians are sometimes needed as
members of a multi-discipline
research team, responsible for
creating a mathematical model of a
real-world process or context,
which then is used to help solve
problems of interest to the team's
efforts.
Actuary — assembles and analyzes
statistics to calculate probabilities
of sickness, death, injury, disability,
retirement, property loss and
unemployment for insurance
companies.
School Administrator or
Counselor — a valid teaching
certificate and teaching experience
are prerequisites. Further course
work and separate certification are
also required.
Educational Consultant or Trainer
— trains personnel in industry on
new procedures and/or equipment
needed.

Program Description:
Career Description:
Political science is the systematic
study of government, politics and
public policy. It is one of a number
of liberal arts majors that prepare
students for a broad range of career
opportunities.
With the skills they acquire in
writing, speaking, analysis, critical
thinking and leadership, political
science majors are able to pursue a
wide variety of career options
(some of which require additional
education).
Political science majors choose one
of three tracks or concentrations:
general political science, pre-law,
or public administration. Each
concentration provides a combina
tion of knowledge and skills
especially appropriate for those
with particular career goals.
However, choosing one concentra
tion over the others does not limit
you to a particular career path —
each of the tracks provides a solid
grounding in political science and
a broad liberal arts background.
General education requirements
and sufficient elective credits must
be completed so that at least 124
semester credits have been earned.
Other Qualifications — Graduate
degrees are required for some
positions; thus, a law degree is
required for work as an attorney
and a Ph.D. is required for appoint
ment to permanent teaching and
research positions in colleges and
universities.
A sample of typical occupations
include:
Attorney — represents clients in
private practice, in small or large
law firms; represents corporations,
labor unions, trade associations or
governments as a salaried em
ployee; serves as a prosecutor or
public defender; serves as a judge.
Requires the completion of a law
degree following college.

General Track
Bachelor of Ails or
Bachelor of Science
The general political science concentration is
designed to provide a broad education in political
science. It is most appropriate for students who
plan to attend graduate school in political
science and for those with an interest in
government and politics who wish to get a
broad, liberal education. Students who continue
their education in graduate school most often
pursue careers as professors, researchers,
consultants or government officials. Students
who do not pursue graduate study choose from
a wide variety of career options in government,
politics, teaching, journalism and business.

The pre-law concentration is designed to provide
students interested in legal careers with a
planned curriculum that prepares them especially
well for law school and for careers in law.
Students who choose this option are often
interested in careers as attorneys, prosecutors or
judges. It should be noted that this is not a
mandatory pre-law curriculum; it is a curriculum
for pre-law students who have a special interest
in government and politics.

The public administration concentration is most
appropriate for students who plan to work in an
administrative capacity in public agencies or
nonprofit organizations with public missions.
Students who choose this option are preparing
for careers of public service. Such careers may
be pursued through positions in government
agencies at the local, state or provincial, and
national levels. Other positions may be found in
nonprofit organizations involved in public
concerns, such as Common Cause, the
Environmental Defense Fund, and the Michigan
Health Council. Some of these careers of public
service may be pursued with only a bachelor’s
degree. Others may require completion of a
master’s degree in public administration or a
related field.

�Pre-Pharmacy (transfer program)
See College of Natural
and Health Sciences, page 273.
Program Description:
Career Description:
Most pharmacy schools require
students to take two years of pre
pharmacy preparation prior to
being admitted to their four-year
professional program. Admission
into the professional pharmacy
programs is very competitive and
is based, to a large extent, on
grades in specific required courses.
Many pharmacy colleges also
require applicants to take the
Pharmacy College Admission Test
(P.C.A.T.). This exam is generally
taken mid-way through your
second pre-pharmacy year.
Community Pharmacist — prac
tices in local pharmacies, profes
sional health centers, hospitals,
nursing homes or neighborhood
health centers.
Pre-pharmacy requirements vary
greatly between different colleges
that offer professional programs in
pharmacy. In general, most require
a pre-pharmacy program that
emphasizes math and science as
well as strong communication
skills. Recently, a majority of the
nation's schools began to move
toward awarding the doctor of
pharmacy (Pharm.D.) as the only
professional degree in pharmacy.
Because many pharmacy curricula
are currently being modified, pre
pharmacy requirements are also
subject to change.
The modifications in professional
pharmacy curricula, combined
with the variability in pre-phar
macy requirements, make it
imperative for a pre-pharmacy
student to determine the require
ments for admission at the schools
he or she desires to attend. A pre
pharmacy curriculum at Lake
Superior State University can then
be designed to help you obtain
your goals. It is your responsibility
to contact the directors of admis
sions at the pharmacy schools to
which you are planning to apply so
you can remain informed of their
most recent requirements for
admission.
Government Supervisory Posts —
USPHS, USDA, DVA employ
pharmacists for technical writing,
science reporting, directing manu
facturing firms or overseeing
cultivation of medicinal plants.
Research Pharmacist — within the
pharmaceutical industry, conduct
research to develop prescription
and non-prescription drugs and
other health products.
University Faculty — teach
students, conduct research, act as
consultants for local, state, national
and international agencies and
organization.

Program Description:
Career Description:
For students planning a career in
sociology, teaching or conducting
research, the bachelor of arts or
bachelor of science provides the
undergraduate preparation for
graduate work in sociology.
Social Service Worker — provides
counseling, administers programs,
coordinates services in public or
private agencies assisting individu
als, families, groups or communi
ties. You can best prepare for this
type of work by combining your
sociology major with a human
service minor or by seeking a dual
major in sociology and human
service.
Many other careers require a solid
foundation of knowledge about
social structure and human behav
ior. The sociology program is
flexible, allowing you to combine
the Sociology major with a number
of other concentrations, enhancing
career preparations in a number of
fields. The broad liberal arts base
provided by the sociology degree
will help you prepare to negotiate
changes in career paths commonly
experienced over the course of a
work life.
Other Qualifications — an ad
vanced degree may be required for
some of the positions shown.
Preparation for professions — you
can gain long-term advantage by
beginning your studies for a
professional career in such areas as
business, law or medicine with the
liberal arts foundation and under
standing of people which the
sociology degree provides. With a
sociology major, you will have
ample room in your academic
schedule to take classes to prepare
for entrance exams for professional
school.

Program Description:
Career Description:
The legal assistant profession is
one of the occupations projected to
grow the fastest through the year
2005 according to the U.S. Depart
ment of Labor. A legal assistant (or
paralegal) is a valued member of
the legal team and works under the
supervision of attorneys.
Litigation Legal Assistant conducts legal, factual and com
puterized research; drafts legal
pleadings and documents; inter
views clients and witnesses;
investigates, gathers and organizes
case information; assists at trial.
This program is designed to train
qualified legal assistants capable of
working in a variety of areas of the
law and in a variety of work
environments. Consequently, the
role and job duties of a legal
assistant vary depending on the
areas of law and work environ
ment in which a legal assistant is
employed. Such diversity, varied
challenges, and employment
possibilities are what makes the
legal assistant profession so
interesting and rewarding.
There are four different degrees or
offerings in legal assistant studies.
They are as follows: (1) a four-year
baccalaureate degree in legal
assistant studies with an emphasis
in legal administration, criminal
law, personal injury, labor law,
legislative/constitutional law or a
selected minor as approved by the
legal assistant studies coordinator;
(2) a two-year associate's degree in
legal assistant studies; (3) a post
baccalaureate (one-year) certificate
in legal assistant studies (which is
available to students who already
have a bachelor's degree in some
other discipline and wish to make
a career change or advancement);
or (4) a minor in legal assistant
studies which can complement
various majors (and may also be
helpful to students who are plan
ning on attending law school). The
requirements for these programs
are based upon the guidelines of
the National Association of Legal
Assistants.
Corporate Legal Assistant - drafts
and/or analyzes various legal
documents; attends meetings,
negotiations or closings; performs
legal and factual research; monitors
compliance with applicable indus
try regulations; assists attorneys
with preparation for collective
bargaining, contract negotiations,
administrative hearings or trials.
Criminal Law Legal Assistant conducts comprehensive inter
views of defendants, law enforce
ment, victims, and/or witnesses;
performs case and field investiga
tions; locates and coordinates
usage of applicable experts;
prepares motions, briefs or other
legal documents; acts as a litigation
assistant during trial and any appeal.
Governmental Legal Assistant works as an immigration specialist;
civil rights analyst; environmental
protection specialist; mediation
specialist; legislative analyst;
workers compensation claims
examiner, etc. (even the White
House has employed legal assis
tants).
Real Estate Legal Assistant conducts title searches; drafts real
estate closing documents; monitors
compliance with title, survey,
disclosure and/or regulatory
requirements; schedules and
participates in real estate closings.
Note: The above career descriptions are
only a sampling of the numerous
avenues available to legal assistants.

ment listings.

Program Description:
Career Description:
The natural resources technology
program stresses the acquisition of
field skills necessary for success in
a natural resources center, as well
as the theoretical foundations for
these skills. This practical knowl
edge is enriched by course materi
als which emphasize communica
tion skills along with the links
between society, economics, policy
and the natural resource base. This
program can be taken as a stand
alone two-year program, can
constitute the first half of the
bachelor of science in parks and
recreation management, or it can
be used in conjunction with a
three-year criminal justice program
to prepare a student for a career in
conservation law. The natural
resource technology program can
also serve as a convenient stepping
stone into the Fisheries & Wildlife
program.
Natural Resource Technician —
Forestry, wildlife, fisheries and
park technicians are responsible for
data collection and other hands-on
work in either the public or private
sector.
All natural resource technology
students are strongly encouraged
to participate in at least one
summer's worth of work or volun
teer experience in the natural
resource field to gain the profes
sional experience and contacts they
will need to begin their careers.
Continuing education to
bachelor's degree program — The
high degree of competition in the
natural resource field makes the
pursuit of a bachelor's degree
highly desirable. Programs which
join well with the NRT degree are
the parks and recreation manage
ment degree, the fisheries &
wildlife degree and the 2+3 crimi
nal justice degree programs. These
programs lead to careers such as
conservation officer, park natural
ist, expedition leader, guide or
recreation specialist.

Legal Assistant
(Paralegal) Profession:
Legal Assistant Program
Offerings:
The legal assistant profession is
one of the occupations projected to
grow the fastest through the year
2005 according to the U.S. Depart
ment of Labor. A legal assistant (or
paralegal) is a valued member of
the legal team and works under the
supervision of attorneys. The legal
assistant profession is both chal
lenging and offers many career
advancement opportunities.
There are four different degrees or
offerings in legal assistant studies.
They are as follows:
This program is designed to train
qualified legal assistants capable of
working in a variety of work
environments. Consequently, the
role and job duties of a legal
assistant vary depending on the
areas of law and work environ
ment in which a legal assistant is
employed. Such diversity, varied
challenges and employment
possibilities are what makes the
legal assistant profession so
interesting and rewarding. For
instance, legal assistants are
employed in law firms; corpora
tions; financial institutions; govern
ment (federal, tribal, state or local);
courts and mediation systems; real
estate offices and title companies;
insurance companies; special
interest groups; prosecutor and
public defender offices; educa
tional institutions; financial service
organizations; credit and collection
agencies; and service, consulting or
publishing companies.

or a selected minor as ap
proved by the legal assistant
studies coordinator;
a two-year associate's degree
in legal assistant studies;
a post-baccalaureate (one-year)
certificate in legal assistant
studies (which is available to
students who already have a
bachelor's degree in some
other discipline and wish to

The Political Science
Program:
LSSU's innovative political science
program is designed to contribute
leaders who will help meet the
challenges of the 21st century. The
program provides students with
both a broad liberal arts education
and the important skills they need
to begin a career or pursue addi
tional education.
Since students of political science
follow diverse career paths,
political science majors at LSSU
choose from one of three tracks or
concentrations: general political
science, pre-law, and public adminis
tration. Each concentration pro
vides a combination of knowledge
and skills uniquely appropriate for
those with particular career goals.
One of the innovative features of
the program is the replacement of
the traditional minor field of study
with a set of cognate (related)
courses spread across several
disciplines. The cognate require
ments for each concentration are
tailored to meet the specific needs
of those within the concentration.
The cognates complement a
student's courses in political
science by providing important
background (such as history,
philosophy and economics) and
valuable skills (such as computer,
research, writing and speaking
skills).
Internships — which involve
supervised practical work experi
ence in an off-campus location —
are available and encouraged.
Internships may be carried out
with local, state (or provincial) or
federal agencies in the Sault Ste.
Marie area. Other internship
opportunities are available in
Washington, Lansing, Toronto and
Ottawa. One of the most exciting
of these opportunities is the
Washington Semester Program, a
cooperative arrangement with
American University in Washing
ton, D.C. Students selected to
participate in this program spend a
semester taking classes and work
ing in Washington.

Student Organization:
The Political Science Club is a
nonpartisan student organization
that promotes discussion and
understanding of current political
issues. The club sponsors speak
ers, arranges debates between
political candidates, hosts student
forums with the University presi
dent ("Pizza with the President"),
participates in debates with
students from Algoma University
College in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario
("CanAm Debates"), sponsors
voter registration and get-out-thevote drives, and participates in a
variety of other activities related to
contemporary politics. Member
ship is open to all LSSU students.
A second innovative feature is a
required year-long senior seminar.
As part of this seminar, students
analyze their career goals, prepare
a resume and write a senior thesis.
Since writing a thesis requires
discipline, perseverance and the
ability to integrate, the senior
seminar serves as a capstone for
the student's education. Students
make public presentations of their
theses prior to graduation. Family,
friends and the University com
munity are invited to these
presentations.

Psychology is the systematic study
of methods to understand, predict
and influence human behavior and
mental processes. The major
provides students with exposure to
the areas that define contemporary
scientific psychology. The psychol
ogy major helps a student develop
analytical thinking and communi
cation skills which are applicable
to a variety of careers. Many
psychology majors pursue gradu
ate degrees. Psychology electives
enable students to construct a
program of study consistent with
their professional goals. The
bachelor of science and bachelor of
arts degrees differ only in the
nature of the cognate courses that
are selected. The bachelor of
science degree requires science
courses and the bachelor of arts
degree requires foreign language
courses.

Sociology is the scientific study of
human social groups, from families
to societies. Sociologists examine
how variables, such as culture,
laws and customs, influence
persons within society. Sociolo
gists also investigate how people,
through interaction, sustain or
change society.
The knowledge acquired through
sociology is useful in a number of
careers, including human services,
law enforcement, corrections,
elementary and secondary teach
ing, business administration,
public administration, law, and
medicine, among others.
For the student who is planning a
career as a professional sociologist,
who teaches and conducts re
search; or a career as a consultant, a
manager, or a policy analyst: an
undergraduate major in sociology
provides a good background for
graduate work in sociology.

Manufacturing Engineering
Technology (MfgET) is a multi
disciplinary field integrating basic
knowledge and skills from fields
such as mechanical engineering
technology electrical/electronics
engineering technology computer
science, management and econom
ics. Whether it be a single gear or a
complete automobile engine, the
complete set of events that results
in a finished product is planned
and implemented by a manufactur
ing engineering technologist.
As with all engineering technology
programs, the focus of the MfgET
program is in the application of
engineering principles. Therefore,
unlike accredited engineering
programs that require four or more
calculus courses (or advanced
math courses), the MfgET program
(general option) requires only one
calculus course and one statistics
course as necessary background
for applied engineering.
LSSU's School of Engineering and
Technology houses traditional
training facilities such as a manu
facturing processes lab, materials
lab, electronics lab and digital/
microprocessor lab. Further, LSSU
is home for one of the best educa
tional facilities in robotics and
automation in North America.
This lab has 15 industrial robots,
several programmable logic
controllers, machine vision systems
and material handling systems.
The program contains a strong
laboratory emphasis with plenty of
opportunities to work on these and
other real manufacturing systems.
Entrance requirements for the
program for students completing
high school are the same as LSSU's
general entrance policy (please
refer to the section on Admissions
for further details). Students from
other colleges and universities can
transfer to LSSU and apply appro
priate credits towards the
bachelor's degree in MfgET.
Students who are completing their
associate's degree in a related field
from a community college can
typically complete the MfgET B.S.
degree in two additional years at
LSSU.
A scientific "high technology"
basis in the field of manufacturing
engineering technology is evolv
ing. The MfgET program is de
signed to place LSSU graduates at
the leading edge of this evolution.

two options: Design or Robotics
and Automation. The Design
Option is structured to prepare
individuals for careers in product
and process design. The Robotics
and Automation Option is struc
tured to prepare individuals for
careers in automated manufactur
ing. Both programs emphasize
technical topics which are current
in the engineering market and
include a senior capstone design
project, where the students work in
multi-disciplinary teams The
projects can have a research or
industrial base.
The course work in both options is
designed to provide you with a
solid foundation in the fundamen
tals and to provide an emphasis in

�A LOOK AT LSSU
Established in 1946 to address the needs of returning World War II veterans
and to provide educational opportunities to the people of the Eastern Upper
Peninsula, Lake Superior State University still embodies the essence of the early
days. A personal education in a safe and friendly environment remains a hallmark
of today's LSSU.
Our beautiful 115-acre campus overlooks the Michigan and Ontario twin cities of
Sault Ste. Marie, the St. Mary's River, and the world famous "Soo Locks". The
school is literally the last stop on Interstate 75 which originates in the Florida Keys.
The campus served as Ft. Brady starting in 1822 after the fort was relocated
from the banks of the St. Mary's. The fort was deactivated in 1944 and, thanks to
the efforts of local volunteers and leadership at Michigan College of Mining &
Technology in Houghton, opened in the fall of that year as the Sault Ste. Marie
Residence Center of MCMT.
The Sault Branch was rechristened Lake Superior State College of Michigan
Technical University in 1966. Autonomy as an institution arrived for LSSC in
1970. University status was granted in 1987 to the state's smallest public institution of higher learning. Enrollment has grown from the original class of around
227 to more than 3,400 students.
There are 14 buildings on the National Historic Register contributing to the
University's sense of tradition. This unique architectural blend is a reminder of
the "weapons to plowshares" history of the setting.
Community: Sault Ste. Marie (pop. 18,000) is one of the oldest cities in North
America, having begun as a fur trading center in the early 17th century. A Jesuit
mission was established here in 1641, and Father Marquette founded the first
permanent settlement 27 years later, within the boundaries of what was to
become Michigan. The Sault celebrated its 300th birthday in 1968.
Our sister city, Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, is a cultural, recreational, social and
entertainment center. The combined population of the Twin Saults (101,000)
allows for an international flavor abounding with the opportunities of a city, and
the safety and comfort of a small town.
Accreditation
Lake Superior State University is accredited by the following agencies:
• North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools
• National League for Nursing
• Council on Medical Education and Hospitals of the American Medical
Association.
• Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for
Engineering and Technology in:
- electrical/computer
- mechanical engineering technology
- electrical/ electronics
- mechanical
- automated manufacturing engineering technology.

�ACADEMIC POLICIES
The academic policies and regulations of Lake Superior State University are
guides to your responsibilities as a student. Advisors, department heads and
campus personnel will help you understand these policies and regulations.
However, it is up to you to comply.
The Academic Year
Lake Superior State University operates on a semester system. The academic
year consists of a fall semester (September through December) and spring
.
semester (January through April or early May). Fall and spring semesters cons1.st
of 15 weeks of instruction followed by a final examination week. Summer se~s1on
courses, for the most part, are eight weeks including two days for final examinations. Specific dates for each semester can be found in this catalog.
Academic Credit
One credit is awarded for 15 hours of classroom instruction in lecture/
recitation courses. For example, a three-credit course might be scheduled 9:009:50a.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday. A class period is usually 50 minutes,
with 10 minutes between classes.
Courses including laboratory, field work or other non-lecture formats meet
for more than one hour a week per credit. In general, one credit requires an
average of three hours of preparation/study time a week for the semester. In
lecture/recitation courses this normally means one hour of classroom attendance
and two hours of preparation or study.
An average credit load per semester is 16. A minimum of 124 credits is
required for a baccalaureate degree.
Student Classifications
There are four class levels: 0 to 25 credits =freshman; 26 to 55 credits =
sophomore; 56 to 87 = junior; 88+ = senior.
Student Curriculum Choice and Advising
You are encouraged to select a major program upon admission to the U~iversity. The academic department offering the chosen program is called the ma1or
department. You will be assigned an academic advisor - a faculty member who
teaches in your chosen field. Your advisor will help in with course selection, .
understanding program and University requirements and regulations, evaluation
of academic progress, and matters related to successful academic achievement.
Lake Superior State University is firmly committed to providing personalized
advising and support. You are encouraged to actively seek help from your
instructors, advisors, department chair, Leaming Center, Counseling Center, and
any other faculty or staff member. The Leaming Center provides academic
tutoring as does the Native American Center and academic departments. The~e
services are usually provided without charge. Additional information concerning
advising services is listed under testing and counseling service in this cat~l~g. .
U you are undecided about a major program, you are considered maJo_n ng m
liberal arts, an associate degree program. A provisional academic advisor 1s
assigned until a major is chosen.
Academic Policies • 8
�You may change your major curriculum by processing a Curriculum Change
Card through the Registrar's Office. The Registrar's Office, Counseling Center
and departmental offices have the card and instructions. Curriculum Change
Cards must be filed with the Registrar's Office for each curriculum change. This is
important so that advisor materials, grade reports and graduation information are
sent to the right school and advisor. You are assigned a new advisor when you
change curricula. You may request a change of advisor by asking the dean of
your school.
If you are provisionally admitted to Lake Superior State University, an
academic advisor from the Leaming Center is assigned. This assignment is active
until the exiting criteria enables unconditional entrance to a chosen major.
Semester Course Selection
A course schedule listing all courses and relevant information is published
each semester. The booklet includes classes offered, days and hours of offerings,
instructor and final examination time. You are responsible for reading the course
schedule and adhering to its instructions. Course schedules and scheduling
materials are available from all departmental offices and the Registrar/Scheduling Office.
You may schedule your courses, after consulting with your academic advisor,
by submitting required materials to the Registrar /Scheduling Office according to
the time schedule described in the course schedule. There is a limited period to
pay tuition and related fees. If you fail to make payment or arrangements, your
enrollment will be canceled.
Several factors assist or limit course selections. Placement examinations for
mathematics, English, and reading are administered by the Counseling and
Testing Center. These examinations are required before you can schedule your
first courses in mathematics or English.
Maximum student credit load is 20 credits a semester. An exception is
possible if you carry a 3.00 cumulative grade point average and written approval
from the dean of the school. Students on academic probation should not take
more than 15 credits a semester.
Prerequisites: Before you enroll in a course, you must satisfy prerequisites
and other stated conditions before enrolling in a course or have the instructor's
permission to waive the prerequisites. Enrollment in a course may be revoked
(with an N grade) during the regular drop period if the prerequisites have not
been met. Responsibility rests with you to be certain that you have the approved
prerequisites.
We rarely allow courses to be taken out of sequence. Such courses impose an
additional burden not reflected in the number of credits carried. Students must
earn passing grades in a prerequisite course before taking the next course in
sequence. For some courses, a C (2.00) grade or better is required. Exceptions
may be made only by school dean or the course instructor. Students who receive
a D grade in a prerequisite course or a course in the major are advised (and may
be required) to repeat the course to raise the D before continuing.
Repeats: You may not repeat a course by enrollment or examination if you
have passed a course for which the repeated course is a prerequisite. Exceptions
may be granted by the school dean with the concurrence of the registrar.
Changes in course schedule: Classes can be added or dropped during a
defined period at the beginning of each semester. Courses deleted during this
period will not appear on a student's permanent record. The add/ delete period
for a full semester course begins on the first day of the semester, and ends on the
Academic Policies • 9
�sixth University business day. For courses that span less than a full semester, a
shorter add/delete period may be in place. Schedule changes are initiated at the
Registrar /Scheduling Office where records of class availability are maintained. In
some cases faculty permission is required for course changes. Detailed information on adding or deleting classes is in the course schedule booklet. A student's
add or withdrawal from a course is not officially complete until the appropriate
form is completed with the Registrar/Scheduling Office. You are advised to ·
retain the official receipt upon completion of any add or drop.
Late Adds: Should you wish to add courses after the end of the add/delete
period, you need permission and a special form from the Registrar's Office, obtain
written approval of the instructor, and return the form to the Registrar's Office.
There is a service charge for this process. You are responsible for all class work
missed prior to adding the class.
Non-attendance at first class: You may be dropped from a class during the
delete period if you fail to attend the first class meeting. The instructor must, if
taking this action, submit a delete form and notify the student.
Dropping courses after the add/delete period: You may drop a course
during the first 40 days of a full semester course. For courses running Jess than a
full semester, the current course schedule booklet lists official dates for each
semester. (The period for dropping equals 54 percent of the course instructional
period.) Your record shall indicate an N grade for each course officially dropped
during this period. Forms for the procedure are available in the schools or
Registrar /Scheduling Offices.
After the eight-week drop period, drops are allowed only for extenuating
circumstances. In these cases, records shall indicate a W grade for courses
officially dropped. The student must receive the instructor's recommendation
and the approval of the registrar. Forms are at the Registrar's Office.
Class Attendance
You must decide for yourself when it is necessary to be absent from class.
Instructors may lower grades if they believe excessive absences require this
action. The policy on attendance reads as follows:
1. Absences are handled according to the instructor's discretion, consistent
with school policy.
2. Instructors are encouraged to report consecutive or excessive absences to
the vice president for student programs and services.
3. Participation in an official University function is an excused absence
when approved by the provost. You will not be penalized for such
participation. You are responsible for work missed and must confer with
your instructor on this matter.
Complete Withdrawal from the University
If you are a full-time student and withdraw from the Un,i versity during the
first eight weeks of the semester, you should report in person to the Counseling
Center and complete a Withdrawal Form for the registrar. The registrar will
authorize the appropriate refund. Refunds are mailed after the end of the refund
period. After the eight-week drop period, students must report to the Registrar's
Office for the Withdrawal Form.
Proper clearance of University obligations assures that you can later receive
transfer of credits. Make sure any holds on your transcript are cleared, or you will
not receive a transcript of credits until clearance is complete.
Academic Policies • 10
�The Grading System
Grade point average (GPA): To compute the grade point average for a
semester, divide the total points earned by the total credits carried. Credits
carried include those failed or earned but not credit for credit/no credit courses.
You can figure cumulative grade point average by dividing the total points earned
by the credits carried in all semesters. When a course is repeated, count only the
credits carried and the points of the last grade earned. Thus, successfully
repeating courses is an effective way to improve cumulative GPA. A cumulative grade point average of 2.00 for all credits is required for graduation.
Further, a 2.00 grade point average for all in major and minor(s) departmental
courses is required. Some programs require a higher grade point average in
the major curriculum.
Incomplete grades (I): An incomplete grade is given only if you are unable
to complete a course due to circumstances beyond control.
Course work must be made up by the date specified by the instructor and
must be within a maximum of two semesters in residence or the incomplete
grade becomes a failure. Summer semesters count if you are enrolled for
summer classes.
No grade (N) and withdrawal (W) grades: An N grade will be given for each
course officially dropped during the first eight weeks and a W grade will be given
for each course officially dropped after the eight-week drop period.
Deferred grades (Z): Deferred grades are given in those courses where work
is planned to extend beyond a single semester.
Grade reports: Grades and credit reports are mailed to your home address
after each semester.
Change of grade: You may request an instructor to review and change a
grade within two semesters. Summer semesters do not count unless you are
enrolled during the summer.
Dean's list: Those who complete 12 or more semester credits with a grade
point average of 3.50 or higher earn Dean's List honors for that semester, acknowledging their outstanding achievement.

Academic Probation
You have a considerable degree of self-determination at LSSU; you decide
when and how long to work on each assignment. The best way to succeed in this
task is to work out a weekly schedule with two hours of study time earmarked as
preparation for each one-hour class. In a few cases, the instructor may suggest
some other division of time.
Academic Policies • 11
�Most students maintain good work in all their courses. A few fall short of
satisfactory performance. In these cases, a system of academic probation is used.
Academic probation is a warning that scholastic performance is below the
University's minimum requirements. During this period, students should
determine whether to continue their programs as planned.
No student, while on probation, shall carry more than 15 credits a semester exclusive of band and recreational activities.
The vice president for student programs and services, in consultation with
the student's advisor, may impose restrictions on the student's extracurricular
activities.
It is your responsibility to be familiar with academic regulations and to ke.ep
informed as to your academic standing. The rules governing academic probation,
dismissal and reinstatement follow.

Academic probation is in effect if the cumulative grade point average is
in the "on probation" category.
Shldents whose cumulative grade point average at the conclusion of a .
semester falls into the dismissal range of the academic standing table will
be dismissed.
·
After a first or second dismissal there are these options:
a. Allow two semesters (summer may be counted for one semester) to
elap~e before re-enrolling or
.
.
b. Petition the Scholastic Standards Committee for immediate readmittance. This action is initiated with the registrar. The committee can
either permit early readmittance with specific conditions required of
the s~den! or deny the student's request. Subsequent to the
co~tt~e s denial, appeal can be made to the provost, whose
dec1s1on IS final.

level. A student may continue, with permission of the registrar, on the
record as being on probation instead of dismissed, if his/her record has
improved during the semester and a 2.00 grade point average is achieved
for that semester's courses.
Students dismissed a third time will not be reinstated without the
permission of the provost. Three semesters must elapse from the time of
dismissal before a petition for readmittance is considered. Summer may
count for one semester.
The Scholastic Standards Committee may, on the recommendation of a
school dean, require withdrawal from any course or courses in which
preparation, progress, effort or conduct is unsatisfactory and may on the
recommendation of the provost or vice president for student programs
and services, dismiss students from the University if their background,
overall academic accomplishment, conduct or attitude toward their work
is deemed unsatisfactory.
Credit/No Credit Courses
You can enroll in some courses on a credit/no credit basis for which either a
grade of CR or NCR is given. To be eligible for this option, you must be in good
academic standing. Only one course per semester is permitted and no more than
12 semester credits in such courses may be presented toward degree require- ·
ments. The credit/no credit option is not available in courses which satisfy major,
minor or general education requirements. Make sure you apply at the Registrar's
Office if you want to enroll in a graded course under the credit/no credit policy.
This option is available during the drop/add time frame and your decision may
not be changed after that period. Academic performance at the level of 2.00 or
higher is required for the credit (CR) grade. Instructors are not advised of the
option to be graded credit/no credit.
Certain courses are always offered with a credit/no credit format. The
courses have this information in the official course descriptions and course
syllabi. The policy and limitations outlined above do not apply to these courses.
Credit by Examination
There are three examination processes to earn credit for individual courses or
general education requirements: Advanced placement, CLEP and departmental
examinations. Check out the Admissions section in this catalog for advanced
placement and CLEP examination programs. You must be admitted to a degree
program to receive credit by examination. A maximum of 30 credits may be
earned by examination. CLEP examinations, if available, determine whether
credit shall be granted. Departments may provide their own examinations for
certain courses. Inquire with the academic department offering the course to find
out if a departmental examination is available. If an examination is available, the
school dean's written approval to take the examination is required.
Check with the school dean for an Application for Credit by Examination and
the procedures. The fee is equivalent to the CLEP exams and tuition will not be
charged for credits earned. A minimum examination grade of 2.00 is required to
earn credit. Course and credit earned by examination is recorded on your
transcript with the grade marked as CR. Some universities may not accept this
type of credit for transfer.

�ADMISSIONS
Freshmen
You may apply to Lake Superior State University any time during the final
year of high school. Applications for admission are processed continuously and
you will be notified as quickly as possible. A final transcript of courses completed
during the final year must be submitted to the Admissions Office promptly after
completion of the school year. The offer of admission will be withdrawn if a final
transcript is not submitted. An official score report from American College
Testing (ACT) is required. ACT scores are used for admission and placement in
freshman English and mathematics courses. You should take the ACT on or before
October of your senior year.
If you have graduated from high school and have not attended any college or
university, have an official transcript sent directly from your high school to the
Admissions Office. The transcript must include all courses taken starting with
grade nine and graduation certification. ACT scores are required if you graduated from high school fewer than 26 months before the date you intend to enter
the University.
The primary factors in evaluating an application for admission are ACT
scores and grade point average starting with grade nine. All courses are included
in the average.
The average overall high school grade point average for admitted first year
students is 2.88 on a scale of 4.0. The average ACT composite score is 21. Secondary factors influencing the admission decision include the number of academic
courses an applicant has completed, the trend from year to year of the applicant's
grades, class rank and recommendations.
All credentials should be submitted at least three weeks before the semester
of entry to the Admissions Office. However, if available spaces are filled, the
application processing will end earlier.
Students denied regular admission may reapply for admission after attending
another accredited college and earning at least 30 semester (45 quarter) hours of
transferable credit. Evaluation for admission is then based upon the college record
rather than the high school record.
American College Testing (ACT)
American and Canadian students who enroll within 26 months of high school
graduation and have not attended another college must take the American
College Test. The results should be forwarded to Lake Superior State University
(code number 2031).
.
United States residents applying for academic scholarships at Lake Superior
State University must take the ACT by February of their senior year and have
results forwarded to LSSU before the April 1 scholarship application deadline.
Transfer students entering Lake Superior State within 26 months of high
school graduation and having less than 15 semester or 23 quarter hours of credit
must also take the ACT.
ACT scores are used for admissions and course placement purposes.
The ACT is offered nationally five times a year at many locations including
our campus. Information bulletins and registration forms for the ACT are
available at high school counseling offices or by writing American College Testing
Program, P.O. Box 168, Iowa City, Iowa 52243, or by contacting the LSSU Counseling and Testing Center at 906-635-2733.

�Transfer Students
If you are a transfer student, you must possess a 2.00 cumulative college
grade point average (GPA) and be eligible to return to your former college(s)
unless you have completed their required course work.
If you have completed fewer than 30 semester or 45 quarter hours of credit,
you must send an official high school transcript or GED scores to our Admissions
Office. An official transcript from each college or university where you earned or
attempted credit is also required. Official transcripts may be obtained from the
high school guidance office and college or university Registrar's Office. Transcripts must be mailed to the Admissions Office at LSSU directly from the issuing
institution to be considered official. Transcripts sent via facsimile machine are not
considered official. All transcripts become the property of Lake Superior State
University and are not returnable.
If you have changed your name since attending another institution, you must
indicate this when requesting transcripts from high schools or colleges. Each
transcript should bear your current name.
If you have yet to complete 15 semester hours of college credit and have been
out of high school fewer than 26 months, you must submit ACT results.
The application and all transcripts should be submitted at least 30 days
before the semester of entry. However, if available spaces become filled, processing of applications will end earlier.
A transfer applicant denied admission because the college GPA is less than
adequate is encouraged to reapply when, after taking additional college courses,
the cumulative grade point average improves to greater than 2.0.
Freshman Admissions File
A complete application file must
include the following:

�Credit Evaluations
?f~icial e~aluation of transfer credit is made after you are accepted for
.
ad~1ss1?n. This evaJ~ation is made as quickly as possible after admission. We will
assist with an unofficial transcript review. Contact the Admissions Office or
Registrar's Office for information .
. If you p_lan to transfer to LSSU, you can review the course descriptions and
~mve at an idea of the transfer credit you may receive. While making this
•?formal ~valuat~on, keep in mind transfer credit is granted for courses substantially equivalent m content, length and prerequisites to LSSU courses.
D grades are transferred only under following conditions:
1. A 2.00 or greater cumulative grade point average;
2. Upon initial application being eligible for, or being granted, unconditional admission as a full-time student based on your college or university academic records elsewhere.
Courses with D grades accepted as transfer credit may not apply to all
departments. Some academic departments do not accept transferred D grades as
replacements for courses required as part of the departmental major. In those
cases, the departmental major courses involved must be repeated. Courses not
accepted by a department may be applied as elective credit where possible.
Initial transfer credit evaluations are completed by the Admissions or
Registrar's offices. Initial evaluations are subject to review and modification by
the dean of the academic school offering the equivalent course. The decision on
courses and transfer credit granted may be appealed by the student to the
provost.
Elective Credit
If a course taken at another institution is not offered at the University,
elective credit may be granted for that course. Elective credits may be applied
toward degree requirements but may not be used to satisfy any specific course
requirement.
Provisional Credit
Credit earned at an institution not listed in the American Council of
Education's publication, Accredited Institutions of Post-Secondary Education is
granted provisionally. Only after students complete at least 15 semester hours of
credit with a cumulative grade point average of 2.00 at LSSU do provisional
credits become part of your permanent record.
MACRAO Agreement
Community college students admitted to the University who have the
MACRAO stamp on their transcripts are reco~nized as ha~ing ~ompleted the
general education requirements at Lake Supe~1or ~tate Umver_s~ty.
If you transfer to Lake Superior State Umvers1~, all conditions of y_o~r

�Residency Requirement
There is no limit to the number of transfer ,redits allowed from other
institutions. Bachelor's degree candidates must earn at least 32 of their final 40
credits and at least 50 percent of their departmental required 300/400 level credits
in Lake Superior State University courses. Regional center students must earn at
least 32 of their final 64 credits and at least 50 percent of their departmental
required 300/400 level credits in Lake Superior State University courses.

There is no application fee. If you attended another college since leaving LSSU,
you must submit official transcripts from the college(s) attended and meet the
University's transfer student admissions policy.
Guest Students
If you are regularly enrolled at another college or university, you may be
admitted to Lake Superior State University as a guest student. A guest admission
is valid for one semester. This may be extended for an additional semester under
extenuating circumstances. You may request the extension by submitting another
guest application. If you intend to enroll for more than one semester, you must
submit an application for admission as a transfer student. Guest student applications may be obtained from the LSSU Admissions Office or any Michigan college
or university. You, as a guest student, assume responsibility for determining if
LSSU courses apply to your program of study at the college from which you
intend to graduate.
Canadian Students
If you are an Ontario student applying on the basis of high school records,
you are evaluated on your ACT score and grade point average for all A and G
level courses taken grades nine through the end of secondary school.
Two grading scales are used when evaluating Ontario secondary school
applicants (see table next page). OAC and A-level courses are considered more
demanding and their contents more appropriate preparation for university-level
courses than G-level courses. B and W-level courses are never included in the
grade point average.
Secondary factors influencing the admission decision are the number of
academic courses completed, the trend from year to year of the applicant's grades
and recommendations.
Students denied regular admission are encouraged to reapply for admission
after attending another accredited university and earning at least 30 semester (45
quarter) hours of transferable credit. The evaluation for admission is then based
upon the post-secondary record rather than the secondary record.
A report of ACT scores is required from all Ontario secondary school students
who have not been out of secondary school for 26 months or completed at least 15
semester hours of college or university credit. ACT scores are used for admission,
counseling and placement purposes.

Ontario Grade 13/0AC Courses
If you completed grade 13 or OAC courses before September 1990 you will
receive transfer credit at the University for each course in which a final mark of at
least 60 percent was earned. Transfer credit is not granted for OAC courses
completed after that date. However, completion of OAC courses prepares some
students to earn credit through testing. You may earn up to 30 semester hours of
credit by achieving satisfactory scores on CLEP tests and departmental examinations. Contact your secondary school guidance office or the LSSU Testing Center
for information about CLEP tests and departmental tests offered by the Lake
Superior State University.
Foreign Students (Non-Canadian)
The University makes every effort to meet the needs of foreign students who
give evidence of adequate academic preparation.
Six months to one year before the desired semester of entry, the student
should write to request application materials of the director of admissions.
Applicants must satisfy entrance requirements comparable to those of United
States students. All credentials written in a language other than English must be
accompanied by certified English translations.
No student should plan to come to LSSU with less than sufficient funds in the
hope of obtaining financial assistance upon arrival. No foreign student scholarships are available, and employment opportunities for foreign students are
restricted by government regulations. A notarized financial statement is required
before Form 1-20 (required to obtain a student visa) will be issued. This statement
must include the amount of money available per year and the source(s). Inclusion
of false information in the financial statement is grounds for dismissal. Beyond
the financial statement, the student's sponsor or sponsoring agency must provide
a letter assuming responsibility for all of the student's educational and living
expenses while studying in the United States.
Applicants should not consider themselves admitted to the University until
they have provided all documents required by the University and have received
an official letter granting admission. Following the letter granting admission, the
Certificate of Eligibility ( Form 1-20) is sent, as required by the US Immigration
and Naturalization Service.
Foreign students are required to purchase a health and accident insurance
policy for each year in residence. The policy is offered by Federal Home Life
Insurance Company.
Admissions • 26
�Limited English Proficiency
The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is not a factor in the
admission decision. The TOEFL is used only to evaluate a student's English
proficiency.
English language proficiency is required to take courses at the University and
may be satisfied in any of three ways:
1. Scoring 550 or above on the TOEFL administered in most countries. For
information regarding this test, write: TOEFL, Box 6151, Princeton, New
Jersey, 08541-6151, U.S.A. or any United States Information Service
Center;
Note: The Admissions Office must receive an official TOEFL score report by
June 1 for students wishing to enroll fall semester. The deadline for spring
semester is October 1.
2. By completing Level 109 at any ELS Language Center located in the
United States. For information about ELS Centers, write: ELS Language
Centers, 5761 Buckingham Parkway, Culver City, California, 90230, USA
3. By completing two years of study at a school, college or university
located in an English-speaking country.
Students not meeting the University's English proficiency requirement must
enroll in an English as a second language program.
Part-Time Enrollment
You may enroll as a part-time student and take up to 11 credits per semester
in courses for which you have sufficient academic background. Unless high
school students have special permission from their principals, part-time enrollment is limited to those whose high school class have already graduated. As a
part-time student not seeking financial aid, degrees or certificates, you do not
have to formally apply for admission before enrollment.
A Course Registration Form must be completed during the registration
period for each semester of attendance. These forms are available through the
University's Registrar or Community Services and Development offices.
If you decide to become a full-time student (12 or more credits per semester),
seek financial aid or elect to seek degree/certificate status, you must complete an
application for admission with a $20 non-refundable processing fee, send required
official transcripts to the Admissions Office and meet all admission requirements
for Lake Superior State University.
As a part-time student, you are not assigned a faculty advisor. You are
encouraged to seek assistance in selecting courses from the appropriate
academic schools.
Tech Prep
The national tech prep movement is supported at LSSU. As testimony of its
institutional support, grades earned in applied high school science and mathematics courses contribute to the high school GPA computed for university admission.
Tech prep, with its emphasis upon curricular integration between secondary and
post-secondary educational institutions, helps LSSU create a broader array of
educational options for our students.
We believe tech prep agreements open career doors and professional pathways for high school students in applied sciences, business, allied health and
technology. Lake Superior State University has articulation agreements with area
high schools to enhance applied and career educational opportunities at the post-
Admissions • 27
�secondary level. In tandem with its regional secondary education partners, the
University has created pathways to applied education for specified curricula in
business and technology. University course credits count toward degree requirements for high school work if certain competencies are met and/ or opportunities to demonstrate skill development acquired in secondary schools exist in
these programs.
Check with your high school guidance counselor or a Lake State admissions
officer to verify whether a specific course in your high school may apply. Additional tech prep articulations with area high schools and community colleges are
being developed. Tech prep is an educational outreach effort strongly compatible
with the mission of our institution. Applied skills developed in high school set the
stage for postsecondary education across a range of career and professional fields
available at Lake Superior State University. The Center for Career Planning and
Employment Services can provide additional information for perspective students
and parents.
Dual Enrollment for High School Students
Recognizing some talented high school students will benefit from university
courses while in high school, selected students may take specific courses at the
University.
Before registering for any class, a Dual Enrollment Request form must be
completed and signed by the high school principal or counselor. The form is
available from, and must be returned to, the Registrar /Scheduling Office. High
school guidance counselor offices also have the form.
Students are eligible to enroll in 100- and 200-level courses only. Some
courses require students to pass a placement test before enrollment. Others have
one or more prerequisites. A prerequisite is a course that must first be completed
before the other course can be taken.
You must be at least a junior in high school and have met relevant state
examination requirements.
If you are no longer enrolled in high school and your high school class has
not yet graduated, you are ineligible to enroll as a part-time student until your
high school class has graduated.
Scheduling Programs
Freshman: Each summer, the University offers the Fall Class Scheduling and
Parents' Program. This is a chance to meet academic advisors, schedule fall
semester classes and buy books. It also is an opportunity for parents to meet
University administrators and gain a better understanding of the services Lake
State provides.
Transfers: If you are a transferring to LSSU, you should attend the Transfer
Student Scheduling Program. You will take the mathematics placement test if
needed, meet with academic advisors and schedule classes. If you cannot attend
the planned sessions, you must arrange individual appointments to meet with
academic advisors and complete testing and scheduling.
Orientation
Freshmen and transfer students must attend orientation before the start of
classes. The program helps you get acquainted with the campus and community
as well as smoothing the transition to university life. Sessions include academic
and extracurricular activities, and class placement meetings with academic
advisors and faculty.
Admissions • 28
�Placement Testing
As an entering freshman, you must take the ACT and have the results
reported to the University. These scores will be used to place the students in
freshman English and mathematics courses. Students not required to provide the
ACT scores will take a placement test before scheduling classes.
English: Individuals with high ACT or placement scores are invited to enroll
in honors English. Students whose English ACT scores or English placement
scores suggest a deficiency in English will complete the course EN091, basic
English, before enrolling in ENllO, freshman composition.
Reading: Students whose ACT reading or placement scores are below a
standardized level (33 percent) are required to satisfactorily complete the course,
SA090, Developmental Reading I, and where necessary, SA091, Developmental
Reading II. Students not successfully meeting this requirement by their sophomore level (26 credits) will be limited to a 13-semester credit load, including the
appropriate reading course, until satisfying this requirement.
Mathematics: One or more freshman-level mathematics courses may be
waived for those whose ACT or placement test results demonstrate adequate
preparation in mathematics. Students whose ACT mathematics scores indicate a
deficiency will be placed in MA081, MA082, MA083 pre-algebra or MA084,
MA085, MA086 introductory algebra.
Transfer students without appropriate course work in English and mathematics (see degree requirements) are also required to take placement tests.
Credit by examination
You may earn up to 30 semester hours by examination at Lake Superior State
University. The University grants credit by examination to entering students who
have satisfactory results from the College Entrance Examination Board's Advanced Placement Program, the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) tests,
and departmental exams created by the University's individual academic departments. If you are already attending the University, you may earn credit through
both CLEP and departmental exams.
Before credits by examination or transfer credits from other sources will
be entered on students' permanent academic records in the Registrar's Office,
you must:
1. be admitted to the University under the criteria for full-time students;
and
2. enroll at Lake Superior State University.
Advanced Placement Program (AP): Advanced placement examinations are
administered at high schools each May to seniors who have taken specific
advanced-level courses.
Lake Superior State University grants credit in select courses for advanced
placement examinations, without an essay section, passed with a score of three or
higher. The grading scale is from a low of one to a high of five.
If an essay is part of an individual advanced placement test, it must be
submitted to the University for evaluation. To receive credit, the essay must be
satisfactory and you must have a minimum score of three on the test.
A list of courses for which the University currently grants credit is available
from the Registrar's Office or the LSSU Counseling and Testing Center.
College Level Examination Program (CLEP): You may take CLEP exams at
the University's Counseling and Testing Center or at other testing centers. CLEP
exams are given at the University each month except December and February, and
Admissions • 29
�elsewhere on scheduled dates. CLEP exam scores for students entering fall
semester should be reported to the Registrar's Office no later than June 30 to be
considered for advanced placement. To meet this date, if you are taking the
exams elsewhere, you should be tested no later than May. If you are interested,
contact the Counseling and Testing Center at Lake Superior State University for
complete information about the program, test sites and test dates.
The current University policy for CLEP credit is:
1. An official copy of the CLEP score report form is required.
2. CLEP scores will be evaluated by the registrar to decide if credit will be
given.
Credit for the CLEP general examination will be granted as follows:
Humanities: A maximum of eight semester hours in humanities electives
toward general education requirements can be awarded. If you have
previously received credit in humanities courses or courses which
substitute for humanities, a maximum of eight semester hours can be
earned through a combination of the CLEP general examinations and
previously earned credit.
Mathematics: Three elective credits in mathematics can be awarded.
Social Science: A maximum of eight semester hours in those social science
elective courses specified in the general education requirements can be
awarded, provided these are courses for which credit has not already
been received.
Natural Science: A maximum of eight semester hours in the natural science
elective courses specified in the general education requirements can be
awarded, provided these are courses for which credit has not been
received. If you have earned previous college-level physical or life
science credits, these must apply against their general education requirements before any CLEP natural science general examination credits will
be granted to fulfill general education requirements.
CLEP general examination credit may not be used to repeat courses previously taken unless permission is granted from the academic department offering
the course.
Grades for general examinations where credit is granted are recorded as
credit without grade points.
Credit for CLEP general examinations is granted as shown below for each test
showing a composite score at the 50th percentile, based on college sophomore
norms published by the Educational Testing Service.
Credit may be earned for individual courses by passing CLEP subject
examinations.
CLEP subject examinations may not be used to repeat courses previously
taken unless special permission is granted from the academic department offering
the course.
A listing of approved CLEP subject examinations and acceptable minimum
scores may be obtained from the Registrar's Office or the University's Counselin1

vehicle registration.
• If you are on active duty in the armed services and stationed in Michigan,
you are eligible for resident tuition status.

must be met in subsequent semesters before reinstatement of aid is possible.
If completion of I grades or other record changes warrant a reinstatement, a
written notice from the Registrar's Office must be presented to the Financial Aid
Office by the end of the semester following suspension of aid.

point or credit earned deficiencies. Students must file a request for reinstatement with the Financial Aid Office following the successful completion of a

aid processed through the University. Successful students then must advise the
Financial Aid Office in writing that they meet the requirements for reinstatement.

Federal Pell Grants
For most, federal student aid begins with PELL Grants that provide a
foundation of financial assistance to which other forms of aid may be added. A
distinguishing feature of this program is a central concept of entitlement, guaranteeing those who demonstrate needs will receive a grant based on that need and
on the cost of education at the post-secondary school they choose to attend.
PELL Grants vary according to the year. Check with the Financial Aid Office
for details.
To be eligible for a PELL Grant, students must:
1. be determined to have financial need.
2. be undergraduates accepted for admission and enrolled in eligible
programs.
3. be U.S. citizens or permanent residents.
4. not be in default on a Stafford or Perkins Student Loan, and not owe a
refund for a Pell or S.E.O.G.;
Although awards are made through the University, the U.S. Department of
Education determines eligibility. The University Financial Aid Office uses a
standard procedure established by the Department of Education to calculate the
award.
To apply, complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
Forms are available at high schools, colleges and financial aid offices.
The Board of Trustees Grant Program provides assistance to incoming and
currently enrolled students based on financial need. Preference is to those whose
financial need is greater than one-half the cost of education. Recipients must be
Michigan residents and enrolled full time.
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity
Grants
The Higher Education Act of 1965 created this program of financial assistance
to help college students with the greatest financial need. Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants may be used to meet all or part of student financial
need (up to $4000 in any one year), with the exact amount being proportional to
the support reasonably expected from their families.
Financial need is the primary consideration in the selection of grant recipients. Priority is given to Pell Grant recipients. Academically, it is only necessary
to gain admission to the University to be eligible for the grant. Recipients are
selected from those applying for all forms of financial aid .
Recipients of this award must reapply each year and maintain the regular
satisfactory progress standards to be considered for a renewal award.

�GRADUATION PROCEDURES
Degree candidacy procedure: Two semesters before students plan to complete degree requirements and graduate, they must submit to the Registrar's
Office an appropriate departmental degree audit for each major and minor, and a
Declaration of Candidacy for Degree. The necessary forms are available at the
student's major departmental office.
The departmental degree audit for a student's major or minor specifies all
required courses that have been or must be completed. The audit must be ~igned
by the department chair and/ or dean of the school offering the major or rrunor
program. Course substitutions and waivers of departmental degree progra~
requirements may be granted only by the dean of the school offering the maior or
minor program. Exceptions to specific general education requirements may be
granted only by the Scholastic Standards Committee. Such exceptions are
.
infrequently made. A petition for exceptions to general education requirements is
initiated with the registrar.
The Registrar's Office checks students' degree audits, after which a preliminary verification of the degree audit is sent to each student and respective
department chair. Students are responsible for examining this verification and
requesting clarification of anything that is not consistent with their records or
understanding.
From the Declaration of Candidacy for Degree forms submitted by students,
the registrar creates a potential graduate list for each semester. Names for the
commencement program and diploma will be the official, legal name as listed in
the records in the Registrar's Office. The names of students who are listed in the
annual commencement program are also compiled from Declaration of Candidacy
for Degree forms. Students will not be listed in the commencement program
unless their degree candidacy form is filed with the Registrar's Office six weeks
prior to commencement. Students are expected to attend commencement
exercises unless excused by the Registrar's Office. Students completing degree
requirements during the summer may participate in commencement the previous
semester if their degree candidacy form is received six weeks prior to commencement.
After grades are received in the Registrar's Office at the end of each semester,
degree audits will be updated for all students completing credit and who have a
degree candidacy form on file. When all requirements specified on the degree
audit are fulfilled, the school dean and/or department head and registrar give a
final approval. Names of these graduates are then sent by the registrar to the
president for approval by the Board of Trustees. Subsequently, a diploma is
provided to each student.
.
Diploma charge: There is no charge for the first diploma from Lake Supenor
State University. A fee is charged for replacement diplomas.
Students completing graduation requirements in the fall semester or summer,
or who otherwise need documentation of completion before their diploma is
available, will receive a letter from the registrar certifying that they have completed degree requirements. Additionally, official University transcripts will be
sent to any employer, graduate university, or elsewhere, as requested by the
graduate. Official transcripts will not be mailed to students.
Graduation with honors: Honors graduates must earn at least 32 credits at
Lake Superior State University. All credits with grade points completed at other
colleges (percentages are convert~ to letter grades) w_ill be figured in computing
grade point averages for honors diplomas and medallions at LSSU.
Graduation Procedures• 66
�Students who earn 3.50 to 3.69 will graduate cum laude; 3.70 to 3.89, magna
cum laude; 3.90 to 4.00, summa cum laude. Honors earned shall not be higher
than those for which a student qualifies on basis of courses taken at Lake Superior
State University.
Graduation diplomas with honors will be awarded to baccalaureate and
associate and certificate recipients. Honors medallions will be awarded only to
baccalaureate and associate degree recipients who graduate summa cum laude.
Honors Degree
The University honors program offers highly motivated students the ·opportunity to develop their abilities and skills in exciting and innovative ways. The
central goal of the University honors program is to create a community of scholars
characterized by strong student-faculty interaction around the world of ideas.
The honors program fosters an approach to education that incorporates the
qualities of active participation, intellectual curiosity and an interdisciplinary
focus.
·
Selection is based upon a number of factors, including: ACT scores, high
school grade point average, application essay, personal interview and Lake
Superior State University faculty nomination. Students invited to participate in
the program enroll in courses designated for honors credit. The courses are
distributed among the requirements for general education, the student's major,
and the University honors program and may include small seminars or independent research projects.
To graduate with an honors degree in a program of study, the honors student
must have formal acceptance into the University honors program and have
successfully completed 21 honors credit hours with an overall grade point
average of 3.5 or better at graduation. The 21 honors credit hours are to be
distributed among the university's requirements for general education, the
student's major and the University honors program.
Upon graduation from the honors program, the student will receive an
honors degree in his/her program of study. The honors degree designation is
indicated on the student's diploma and is distinct from graduating with honors
(see Graduation with Honors).

�Political Science
Political Science is the systematic study of government and politics. Since
government and politics are found at many levels - international, national, state
and local - and all over the world, political science has many facets. All of these
facets receive attention in the political science program at Lake Superior State
University.
The goal of the curriculum is to prepare students interested in government
and politics for rewarding careers and lifetimes of learning and civic involvement.
To best achieve this goal, three distinct concentrations or tracks are available for
students of political science:
1. general political science
2. pre-law
3. public administration.
Each concentration has been designed to provide a combination of knowledge and skills that is uniquely appropriate for those with particular career goals.
However, choosing one concentration over the others does not limit a student to
~>ne particular career path - each of the concentrations provides a solid groundmg in political science.
Bachelor of Arts/Science: Political Science - General
The general political science concentration is designed to provide a broad
education in political science. It is most appropriate for students who plan to
attend graduate school in political science and for those with an interest in
government and politics who wish .to get a broad, liberal education as preparation
for a career in business, government or journalism. Students who continue their
education in graduate school most often pursue careers as professors, researchers,
consultants, or government officials. Students who do not pursue graduate study
choose from a wide variety of career options in business, government and
journalism.

�Bachelor of Arts/Science: Political Science - Pre-Law
The pre-law concentration provides students of political scie~ce interested in
legal careers with a planned curriculum that prepares them especially well for law
school and for careers in law. Students who choose this option are often interested in careers as attorneys, prosecutors or judges. It should be noted that this is
not a mandatory pre-law curriculum; it is a curriculum for pre-law students who
have a special interest in government and politics.
Noteworthy features of this concentration are a special course on the nature
of legal careers and how to prepare for them; two courses in legal researc~ and
writing that provide students with a head start in using a law library and m
.
conducting legal research; and a well-designed combination of support courses m
logic, debate, writing, accounting and research.

�Bachelor of Science: Political Science - Public
Administration
T~e public administration concentration is most appropriate for students
planning to work in an administrative capacity in public agencies or nonprofit
?rganizations with public missions. Students who choose this option are prepar!ng for careers of public service. Such careers may be pursued through positions
m g.o:,rernment agencies at the local, state or provincial, and national levels. Other
pos1ttons may be found in nonprofit organizations involved in public concerns,
such as Common Cause, the Environmental Defense Fund and the Michigan
Health Council. Some of these careers of public service may be pursued with only
a bachelor's degree. Others may require completion of a master's degree in
public administration or a related field.
Senior public administration students will complete an internship as part of
their education. Internships allow students to apply the knowledge they have
gained in the classroom in an on-the-job setting. They are also valuable for
developing a record of experience that will impress prospective employers and
help the student become established in a career. Internships, which are arranged
with the assistance of an advisor, are available with local, state or provincial, and
federal agencies.

Pre-Law
No single prescribed course of study can be recommended to all students
who plan to attend law school. Students entering law school choose undergraduate majors from a wide variety of fields. However, a pre-law concentration is
offered in the political science curriculum, and various law courses are offered as
a part of the legal assistant studies program at Lake Superior State University. See
the appropriate political science and legal assistant studies program listings.
Students interested in a legal career should consult with the pre-law advisor
early and often during their undergraduate studies. Pre-law planning, based on
consultation with the advisor, will allow the student to make an informed choice
of curriculum and of elective courses that will help with the development of the
skills mentioned below. The pre-law advisor will also provide pre-law students
with a variety of materials about admission to law school, the law school admission test, and careers in law.
Arts, Letters and Social Sciences • 98
�A student's undergraduate grade point average and his or her score on the
Law School Admission Test (LSAT) are the two most important criteria for
admission to law school. Details on admission policies of law schools throughout
the country, and the degree to which these schools may use other criteria in
addition to grade point average and LSAT score, may be found in the Pre-Law
Handbook. This handbook is published by the Law School Admission Council/
Law School Admission Services and is the official law school guide. It may be
examined by contacting the pre-law advisor or purchased in many book stores.
Although there is no prescribed major which must be taken for admission to
law school, some curricula may be better than others in helping students develop
skills necessary for admission and for a successful legal career. A broad and
challenging undergraduate curriculum is the best preparation. The Pre-Law
Handbook stresses that a student's undergraduate education should lead to the
development of skills in three areas: (I) the ability to understand and express
oneself well in words, (2) the development of a critical understanding of the
human institutions and values with which the law deals, and (3) the development
of critical thinking abilities. A pre-law student should consider the need to
develop these skills in selecting his or her curriculum. In addition, students
should consider whether the curriculum they choose can provide an alternative to
a career in law should they eventually choose not to pursue a legal career.
Associate Degree: Legal Assistant Studies
For this degree, students must complete the courses below, the general
education requirements for associate degrees, and electives to total 64 credits:•
Students completing the associate degree in legal assistant studies may conveniently continue their education in a bachelor's degree in legal assistant studies or
other fields such as office administration, human services or political science. Those
interested in this option should consult the legal assistant studies advisor.

DEPARTMENT OF SOCIOLOGY
Sociology is the scientific study of human social groups, from families to
societies. Sociologists or students of sociology examine how variables such as the
culture, laws and customs of a society influence individuals within that society.
Sociologists also investigate how individuals influence and change society.
The knowledge acquired through the study of sociology is useful in a number
of careers, including human services, law enforcement, corrections, business
administration and public administration, among others.
For those students who plan a career in sociology, teaching or conducting
research, an undergraduate major in sociology provides a good background for
graduate work in sociology.

New students may register as pre-human
services majors and may concurrently
enroll in a liberal arts associate degree
program in either psychology, sociology or
in one of the skill minors. Special
associate degree programs exist for early
childhood education, corrections, legal
assistant studies and substance abuse
prevention and treatment. Students may
apply for admission to the human services
major after completing 12 credits of
human services or social sciences
coursework or after completing an
associate degree or Canadian college
diploma in a human services area.
Students considering graduate school are
encouraged to select a double major in
either psychology and human services or
sociology and human services.
Human services majors must be ethical,
caring individuals who are capable of
forming helping relationships with others
and serving as good role models. As part
of the admissions process, students will be
asked to volunteer in human service
agencies and to explore their own
appropriateness to enter the human
service field.
Students need 24 credits of 300-400 level
courses across their 3 minors, and all
students must complete a capstone course

broader service region of the University,
both in Michigan and Ontario. The Native
American studies minor is designed to
provide valuable background and current
information about Native American
culture and society.
The courses in the Native American
studies minor reflect the Native American
experience across time and throughout
North America, but have a particular focus
on issues which are of particular importance to Native Americans living in the
Great Lakes area. Course content will
include the study of Native American
history, culture and literature. In addition,
courses within the Native American
studies minor will introduce students to
the structure and operation of tribal
governments and tribal law, as well as
various current Native American issues
and concerns.
The faculty for the Native American
studies program may be contacted for
further information.

apply only to tuition and special course fees. For students on approved University financial aid, or aid through other agencies that mandate recovery of financial
assistance, refunds will be in accordance with related requirements. Withdrawing
students should check with the director of Financial Aid. Refunds are made
according to the following: During the first six days of the semester 100 percent
refund on withdrawals. Students withdrawing from all classes between the end
of the 100 percent refund period and the first 10 percent of the semester will
receive a 90 percent refund. Students withdrawing from all classes between the
end of the 90 percent refund period and the 25 percent point of the semester will
receive a 50 percent refund. Students withdrawing from all classes between the
end of the 50 percent period and the 50 percent point of the semester will receive a

letter grade). Tuition remains at t\le same rate as the credit basis. This option
must be selected at scheduling time and cannot be changed once the course has
begun. Courses taken under this option do not count toward the MBA degree
requirements. They do not affect the grade point average. Students who complete courses under the non-credit option may request a certificate of completion
by contacting the Community Services and Development Office. This may be a
practical option for guest students who are not taking the course for degree credit,
but rather professional and/or personal development.

Bachelor of Science: Accounting
The discipline of accounting provides financial and other information
essential to the efficient conduct and evaluation of the activities of any organization. The information which accounting provides is essential for:
1. effective planning, control and decision-making by management, and
2. discharging the accountability of organizations to investors, creditors,
government agencies, taxing authorities, association members, contributors to non-profit institutions and others.
Accounting includes the development and analysis of data, the testing of
their validity and relevance, and the interpretation and communication of the
resulting information to intended users. The data may be expressed in monetary
or other quantitative terms, or in symbolic or verbal forms. This program is
primarily for those students who may desire:
1. to enter the field of public accounting, or
2. a more intensive study of accounting.
Business and Economics • 127
�The public accounting track meets the State of Michigan educational req~irements qualifying students to sit for the certified public accountant's examination.

Mission and Philosophy
The School of Engineering and Mathematics offers challenging undergraduate programs that focus on a personal approach to education which results in the
development of students as contributing citizens, viable professionals and
fulfilled, caring individuals. The school's focus has been education in the
fundamentals for lifelong careers and education that promotes an image of
positive, caring faculty with satisfied graduates who are employed or prepared
for advanced study in their chosen fields. The fundamental concepts used by the
school in developing programs and courses are quality, personal attention and
added value.
All bachelor of science degrees in engineering, and the bachelor of science
and associate degrees in technology, are designed to be accreditable by the
Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). An industrial
advisory board actively participates in the development of programs and curriculum. Engineering and engineering technology programs emphasize the application of theory to real world engineering. All programs are laboratory intensive
and structured to maximize student use of equipment under faculty supervision
and guidance.
Mathematics and computer science degree programs are designed to address
curriculum recommendations of the most influential professional organizations of
the disciplines, such as the Association for Computing Machinery and the
Committee on the Undergraduate Program in Mathematics. Upper division
mathematics and computer science major courses have average enrollments of 1015 students and provide dose interaction between faculty and students.
A wide range of academic programs and degree levels is offered by the
school. Resources and special programs are available to optimize the student's
success, educational experience and professional options. These include the
University Leaming Center, work study, senior design experience, cooperative
education, summer internships, student organizations and faculty/ student
research.
Senior Design Experience: Baccalaureate programs in engineering and
engineering technology include a senior design experience that prepares students
for the transition from college to employment. These courses incorporate lectures
and laboratory exercises in team building skills, peer evaluation, scheduling and
time lines, ethics and creative problem solving. Most involve multi-disciplinary
Engineering & Mathematics • 145
�teams of students working on large-scale industrial projects which could be
product or process design and build, or product or process research. Students are
required to develop and manage a budget, establish methods of purchasing items,
and regularly interface with an industrial project contact.
Cooperative education and summer internships: Students are encouraged
to participate in the cooperative education programs and summer internships.
Through these experiences, students gain valuable industrial experience that can
lead to greater job opportunities upon graduation and higher starting salaries.

DEPARTMENT OF
ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
Assistant Professor Maurice Walworth, Chair
Bachelor of Science: Electrical Engineering
Electrical engineering combines principles from science and mathematics to
develop solutions to computer- and electrical-related problems. Professional
career opportunities cover a broad spectrum of engineering in such areas as
hardware and software design, analysis, testing and development, robotics,
research, and manufacturing.
Engineering & Mathematics • 146
�The electrical engineering program at Lake Superior State University is
designed to prepare graduates with knowledge and skills for a rewarding
engineering career. The program is especially focused to provide students with
an applications orientation to electrical engineering. The curriculum offers strong
fundamentals in electronic network analysis, digital circuits, electronic devices,
electrical-mechanical systems, control systems, and microcontroller programming
and interfacing. Students can select specific options in digital systems design,
robotics and control systems or electrical-mechanical systems. The digital
systems design option is structured to prepare individuals for careers in digital
electronics and computer systems. The robotics and control systems option is
structured to prepare individuals for careers in robotics, automated manufacturing or control systems engineering. The electrical-mechanical systems option
combines electrical and mechanical course work to prepare individuals for careers
in electrical-mechanical systems and product design. All three options provide
students with a strong foundation in fundamentals with an emphasis on the
application of engineering theory to real-world problems.
The curriculum contains a strong laboratory emphasis that provides the
student with practical design applications of theoretical concepts. During the
senior design courses, electrical engineering students will work on cross-disciplinary design teams with other engineering and technology students on solicited
projects from industry. Computer applications, technical problem-solving,
teamwork and communication skills are reinforced throughout the course work.
During their course of study, students will work in modem, state-of-the-art
laboratories in electronics, digital systems, robotics, automated manufacturing
systems and electrical-mechanical systems. Students will also have direct contact
with expert professors in both the lecture and laboratory components of their
courses. Cooperative education opportunities exist for those students who wish
to interlace professional work opportunities with their engineering studies.
To complete the bachelor of science in electrical engineering, students must
complete the course requirements listed below and demonstrate writing proficiency. A grade of C (2.0) or better must be achieved in all courses listed as
department requirements.

DEPARTMENT OF MANUFACTURING
ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY
Associate Professor James Devaprasad, Chair
Bachelor of Science: Manufacturing Engineering
Technology
Manufacturing engineering technology (MfgET) is a multi-disciplinary field
integrating basic knowledge from fields such as mechanical engineering, electrical/ electronics engineering, computer science, management and economics.
MfgET is that specialty in the engineering profession that provides expertise to
plan the practices of manufacturing, to research and develop the tools, processes,
machines and equipment, and to integrate the facilities, personnel and systems for
producing quality products with optimal expenditures.
Graduates with a B.S. degree in MfgET could be involved in a wide range of
areas from applied research to technical management. Whether it be a single gear
or a complete automobile engine, the logical set of events that results in a finished
product is planned and implemented by a manufacturing engineer.
The B.S. degree program in MfgET at LSSU is accredited nationally by TAC/
ABET (Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for
Engineering and Technology). The program emphasis is in the application of
robotics, automation, computer-aided manufacturing and intelligent sensors to
modern manufacturing. Job titles of graduates from the MfgET program could
include: Applications engineer, robotics engineer, systems engineer, industrial
technologist, automation engineer, production technologist, and manufacturing
engineer.
Engineering & Mathematics • 149
�As with all engineering technology programs, the focus of the MfgET
program is the applied/ implementation aspect of engineering. Therefore, unlike
accredited engineering programs that require four or more calculus courses (or
advanced mathematics courses), the MfgET program requires only one calculus
course and one statistics course as necessary background for applied engineering.
In addition to the traditional training facilities such as manufacturing
processes lab, materials lab, electronics lab and digital/microprocessor lab, LSSU
is home for a state-of-the-art automated manufacturing lab consisting of several
industrial robots, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), machine vision/sensor
systems and material handling systems. Class and lab sizes in the technical
courses are kept small to allow effective learning and interaction between
students and faculty. Communication, teamwork and interpersonal skills are
reinforced throughout the curriculum. Cooperative education opportunities exist
for those students interested in integrating professional work experience with
their engineering technology studies. The culmination of the education in
manufacturing engineering technology is a senior design project where the
students work in multi-disciplinary teams on projects from industry.
Entrance requirements for freshmen students into the program are the same
as the general entrance policy into any program at the University. Students can
also transfer into the MfgET program after completing an associate degree in a
related field from a community college. Such students can typically complete the
B.S. degree in MfgET in two more years at LSSU. Please refer to the section on
Admissions for further details.
Robotics and Automation: Students have the option to complete the S.S. degree
in MfgET with a special emphasis in robotics and automation. In order to get this
emphasis, students are required to take three specific courses in place of three
elective courses already required in the curriculum. Students who meet the
requirements for this emphasis will be identified as such on their transcripts.
A scientific "high technology" basis in the field of manufacturing engineering
technology is evolving. The MfgET program is designed to place LSSU students
at the leading edge of this evolution.

DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS
AND COMPUTER SCIENCES
Mark Terwilliger, Chair
In recent years, a quiet revolution has taken place. The computer has moved
out of the back room of large corporations and research institutions into the front
offices and living rooms of modern society. Computer scientists work at the
leading edge of this revolution, developing software systems that allow us to
utilize the electronic hardware the engineers have built. The work is challenging,
and often frustrating, but is ultimately very rewarding.
The department offers a bachelor of science in computer and mathematical
sciences that combines a study of digital computing with the study of mathematical concepts. The resulting program provides students with considerable versatility and potential for future endeavors in which practical quantitative skills are
important. A minor in computer science is also available to provide excellent
support and value to most majors offered at the University. This minor is an
approved teaching minor for students planning to teach at the secondary level.
Entrance requirements: To qualify for admission to the program in computer
and mathematical sciences, applicants must satisfy University admission requirements as described in the Admissions section of this Catalog. (This information is
also included in the Viewbook.)
Secondary school academic subjects should include: Three units of English,
two units of algebra and one unit of geometry. It is strongly recommended that
applicants have a fourth unit of college-preparatory mathematics that includes
one-half unit of trigonometry. A unit of chemistry or physics is also recommended.
For incoming students with college-level achievement, the opportunity will
be offered, by means of examination, to obtain course credit or placement into an
advanced course.

MATHEMATICS
A most productive tool: Mathematics is the foundation of the sciences and
the technology largely responsible for our present standard of living. Mathematics is one of the most-productive tools yet discovered for unraveling the mysteries
of our universe. In some instances, it is the only language in which some ideas
can be expressed. Courses offered in this discipline provide the foundation for
future work in mathematics. Our teaching objectives are twofold: To give
students an understanding of mathematics, and to impart an understanding of the
many ways in which this tool may be used.
Career opportunities: Mathematicians are employed as teachers in secondary schools, colleges and universities. Many work for government agencies such
as the Department of Defense, National Aeronautics and Space Administration
and the Department of Commerce. Companies providing computer and data
processing services, educational and testing services, and management and
actuarial services also employ mathematicians.
Graduate study improves opportunities for mathematicians, and students are
encouraged and supported in their graduate school plans and placement. Graduate study in numerous fields related to mathematics is possible.
Entrance Requirements: To qualify for admission to the program in mathematics, applicants must satisfy University admission requirements as described
in the Admissions section of the Catalog. (This information is also included in the
Viewbook.)

�DEPARTMENT OF
MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
Associate Professor Paul R. Duesing, Chair
Bachelor of Science: Mechanical Engineering
Individuals who choose a career in .mechanical engineering will typically
learn to apply the principles of science and mathematics to develop solutions to
mechanically-related challenges or problems. Career opportunities include a
broad spectrum in areas such as manufacturing, design, analysis, development,
research, computer-aided drafting, maintenance and testing. Often these career
choices move the individual toward engineering management as the time since
graduation increases.
The mechanical engineering program at Lake Superior State University is
designed to prepare the graduates with knowledge and skills for a rewarding,
lifelong, engineering career. Class and lab sizes in the mechanical engineering
department are kept small to allow effective interaction between students and
faculty. The faculty place emphasis on, and are dedicated to, undergraduate
teaching excellence. The curriculum offers two options: Design or robotics and
control systems. The design option is structured to prepare individuals for . .
careers in product and process design. The robotics and control systems option 1s
structured to prepare individuals for careers in automated manufacturing. Both
programs emphasize technical topics that are current in the engineering markE:t
and include a senior capstone design project, where the students work in multidisciplinary teams on projects from industry.
The course work in both options is designed to provide the students wit~ a
solid foundation in the fundamentals and to provide an emphasis in the applications of engineering theory to real world problems. In the laboratories, the
students work with manufacturing processes and materials testing. In the stateof-the-art automated manufacturing laboratories, emphasis is placed on the
application of industrial robots, computer systems, programmable logic controllers, and vision/sensor systems for modern manufacturing. Communication,
teamwork and interpersonal skills are reinforced throughout the curriculum.
Cooperative education opportunities exist for those students who wish to
interlace professional work opportunities with their engineering studies.
To complete the bachelor of science in mechanical engineering, the student
must complete the course requirements listed below and demonstrate writing
proficiency. A grade of C (2.0) or better must be achieved in all courses listed as
departmental requirements.

to complete a seven-week mini-academy held after the end of the school year.
Contained within the mini-academy are skill hours such as firearms, driving and
defense tactics. Only students who are enrolled in the MLEOTC track at the
beginning of their senior year will be eligible for enrollment in the mini-academy.
Michigan Corrections Officer Training Council Certification: Students
enrolled in the associate or baccalaureate degree in corrections will also take the
five courses necessary for this certification.
Canadian students may substitute CJ202 Canadian Criminal Law and CJ406
Advanced Canadian Jurisprudence for CJ319 Substantive Criminal Law and
CJ409 Procedural Law. PS160 Introduction to Canadian Government may be
substituted for PSllO Introduction to U.S. Government.
Entrance Requirements: To qualify for admission as freshmen, applicants
must meet the minimum criteria of Lake Superior State University. Criminalistics
and fire science students must have completed two units of algebra and at least
one laboratory course, preferably chemistry, in high school.
Code of conduct: Majors in criminal justice and fire science will be required
to sign a code of conduct. The code specifies certain behavior on the part of
s~dents and also states that violation of criminal laws and/or University regulations may end in the separation of the student from the criminal justice/ fire
science program.

Three-Year Degree Plan for a Bachelor of Science
Criminal Justice Following the NRT Degree
See Department of Biology
Students with a particular interest in state and federal laws enacted to protect
our natural resources and federal restrictions on the use of our renewable re.
sources should consider obtaining both an associate degree in natural resources
technology (two years) and a bachelor of science degree in criminal justice (three
additional years). The NRT degree will provide the student with a good general
background in natural resources and the criminal justice degree will allow the
student to be fully qualified for many different law enforcement opportunities.
Jobs for conservation law officers are limited, but the above configuration of
degrees prepares a student to be highly competitive for openings that do occur.
Students selecting this course of study should work closely with their advisor in
order to complete both degrees in the five-year span. After completing the twoyear NRT associate degree, students would complete the following sequence of
courses. This plan assumes MLEOTC certification and 91 additional hours
following the NRT degree.

�DEPARTMENT OF NURSING
Faculty: Dr. Mae E'. Markstrom, Dean of School of Health and Human
Services; Dr. Judith J. Sadler, Associate Professor and Nursing Department Chair;
Professor Carole Connaughton; Associate Professors Alice I. Halsey, Carol A.
Campagna; Assistant Professors Donna M. Anleitner, Margaret R. Hanson, Ruth
K. Johnston-Pike, Lynn M. Kabke, Diane K. Lewis, MaryAnne Shannon.
The Department of Nursing offers a bachelor of science degree in nursing
which is based on the belief that nursing is goal-oriented, directed toward
assisting human beings in health promotion, maintenance, restoration and
rehabilitation. The program is based upon human needs theory throughout the
life cycle and is built on a liberal arts foundation in the belief that all aspects of
society must be considered influential factors in the health of human beings.
Accreditation: The bachelor of science in nursing program is approved by the
Michigan Board of Nursing and is accredited by the National League for Nursing.
Courses: Courses offered by the department are in nursing and health
sciences. Nursing courses provide the core content of the nursing major and are
limited to students accepted into the nursing programs. Health science courses
provide a wide range of knowledge and skills useful for preparation in related
health careers and in the delivery of health services in the community.
Clinical experiences: The nursing program is unique in its international
affiliation. Clinical nursing experience is obtained at hospitals and community
agencies in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, as well as at health care and community
agencies in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, and the surrounding area. The LSSU
Wellness CARE Centers provide opportunities for practice in nurse-managed
community nursing centers.
Bachelor of Science in Nursing
The Department of Nursing offers two curricular tracks to the bachelor of
science degree in nursing: the four-year program and the two-year completion
program for the registered nurse.
These programs provide students with the opportunity to acquire knowledge, values and skills necessary for the practice of professional nursing. They
offer them the opportunity to:
Demonstrate skills of critical thinking and decision making in nursing practice. Promote the health of individuals, families, groups and communities in a
variety of settings. Assist clients of all ages in their adaptation to actual and
potential stressors. Demonstrate independent use of the nursing process in health
promotion, maintenance, restoration and rehabilitation. Integrate professional
values into nursing practice. Practice within the ethical, moral and legal parameters of the nursing profession. Demonstrate responsibility and accountability for
evaluating the effectiveness of one's nursing practice. Evaluate nursing research
findings for possible utilization in nursing practice. Integrate leadership and
management skills into the nursing role. Synthesize theoretical/empirical knowledge from nursing, the physical and behavioral sciences, and humanities in
nursing practice. Collaborate with the health care team and consumer to improve
health care service, using knowledge of the political system. Use effective
interpersonal communication skills as client advocate, caregiver, health educator
and change agent.

�Course distribution requirements facilitate development of liberal backgrounds in physical science, social science and humanities. The curriculum lays a
scientific basis for expanding roles in nursing practice. The nursing curriculum
provides an interdisciplinary major and does not require a minor to meet graduation requirements. Students interested in a minor should refer to the appropriate
Catalog section. A total of 127 credits is required to complete a bachelor of science
degree in nursing.
Bachelor of Science Nursing Four-Year Program
Pre-nursing entrance requirements: To qualify for admission to the prenursing program, applicants must satisfy University admission requirements
described in the admission section of the Catalog. (This information is also
included in the Viewbook.)
For students with college-level achievement, the opportunity will be offered,
by means of examination, to obtain course credit or placement into an advanced
course.
High school academic subjects include a minimum of one unit of biology, one
of chemistry, three of English and two of algebra. Additional science and mathematics courses are highly recommended.
Entrance requirements to nursing: Following successful completion of the
pre-nursing requirements, students will be admitted to the nursing program
based upon academic achievement and competency in mathematics. Mathematics
competency is required prior to the sophomore year. Entrance into nursing
requires a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 or above in nursing, nursing
support and English courses. Required academic courses are separated into two
groups:
1. Nursing support courses (anatomy and physiology, microbiology, life
chemistry, mathematics, psychology, sociology, nutrition, pharmacology,
pathophysiology, computer applications in the health sciences and
statistics;) and
2. General education requirements (English, humanities and speech).
A grade of C or above is required in all nursing, nursing support courses and
English courses. A grade of Din other general education or elective courses is
accepted. Students should file a Declaration of Intent to enter the nursing
program in the departmental office by March 1. Students selected for nursing
must complete all pre-nursing course requirements satisfactorily to remain on the
accepted list. A maximum of 50 students with the highest grade point average
will be accepted.
Transfer credit will be granted on an individual basis. Only those courses in
which the student receives a grade of C or better are transferrable. Credits for
baccalaureate nursing courses and pharmacology are transferable for five years.
Time requirements for program completion is four academic years; however,
completion may require more than four years for students who do not meet all

�Athletic Training Concentration
A person who receives a degree concentration in athletic training, which is
also referred to as sports mediciSle, will become a highly skilled professional who
deals directly with injuries that occur to athletes. The athletic trainer works
closely with physicians and other health care professionals in order to provide .
today's athletes with the best medical care possible. Those who pursue a career m
athletic training may seek employment on the high school, college or professional
sport level. In addition, the athl~tic trainer may be employed in sports medicine
and health fitness clinics, which have increased in numbers during the past
decade. All of the above-mentioned positions usually require certification by the
National Athletic Trainers' Association. Students completing the concentra~1on at
Lake Superior State University will be more marketable in the field of exercise
science and eligible for a variety of graduate programs in athletic trai~ing a1:'~ .
sports medicine throughout the country. Any student wishing to achieve_eh~1bility to sit for the National Athletic Trainers' Association certification exarrunation
will receive individual guidance in that direction.

Bachelor of Science: Therapeutic Recreation
With the advancement of the humanistic and holistic philosophy of health
care, the development of therapeutic recreation as a profession has been tremendous. Using prescribed recreational activities as a modality, the therapeutic
recreation specialist improves the physical, social, mental and emotional functioning of individuals with a variety of limiting conditions. Canadian and American
students graduating with a bachelor of science in therapeutic recreation have been
very successful in finding employment in a variety of settings, such as hospitals,
homes for the aged, special recreation associations, prisons, municipal recreation
programs and agencies providing services for the physically, mentally, and
emotionally challenged. Completion of this degree will enable the student to
become eligible to write the Therapeutic Recreation National Certification Exam.

Honors Program
This program is a research sequence open to science majors with a minimum
o~erall GPA of 3.5 through the first semester of the junior year. Majors electing
this sequence will select an instructor as their supervisor. An undergraduate
research project will be outlined in consultation with the supervising instructor
and submitted to the department for approval. The outline must be approved
before the first semester of the senior year. At the end of the seventh week of the
spring semester during the senior year, the students will forward an abstract of
their work to the department chair and during the tenth week of the same semester will submit the final copy of their research papers in publishable form for
departmental approval. All grades for this sequence will be deferred until the
final semester. Eight credit hours of honors credit will be substituted for eight
hours of electives upon successful completion of the research sequence. The
special problem sequence will not be open to students electing the honors program
research sequence. The completed research may be used for senior thesis.
Independent Study
Students desiring to enroll in BL, CH, or EV independent study courses will
be granted permission to take the course{s) provided the following conditions are
in existence at the time of petition: (A) junior or senior standing; (B) overall GPA
of at least 2.5; (C) no I grades on transcript. Students meeting these requirements
must petition department faculty with a detailed one-page outline of work and
date to be completed. Request for more than four hours will result in a proportionate reduction in a 17-hour load. The faculty preceptor must endorse the
petition with a signature and the date the project is to be completed.
DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY
Biological sciences prepare students for careers in research and in applied
aspects of life sciences as well as providing a background in biology for a career
or further studies in allied sciences. Programs offered include bachelor of science
degrees in biology, fisheries and wildlife management, and clinical laboratory
science; a bachelor of arts degree in biology; and an associate degree in natural
resources technology. Associate degree students electing to pursue four-year
degree programs generally can change their majors to parks and recreation or to
criminal justice (equivalent to conservation law) without losing credits or having
to make up deficiencies. Students working toward these four-year degree
pro_g rams have the same basic courses.
Science and Natural Resources • 215
�Bachelor of Arts/Science: Biology
Lake Superior State University is ideally located for field studies of terrestrial
and aquatic resources. Students electing a variety of courses in ecology and
applied ecology can qualify for state and federal positions in fisheries biology,
wildlife biology and other related fields. Laboratory courses give students
knowledge and techniques necessary for many technical positions with industry
and governmental agencies.
Students interested in research positions in marine biology, microbiology,
physiology, fish and wildlife ecology, and numerous other life sciences can receive
a strong undergraduate background at Lake Superior State University that will
enable them to pursue a career or graduate education. Admission requirements
for professional and graduate universities vary throughout the United States and
Canada. Students planning post-baccalaureate education should work with their
advisor to insure that these requirements are met.
Entrance requirements: To qualify for admission as freshmen, applicants
must be graduates of accepted secondary schools with above average standing in
their class. Their secondary school preparation should include a four-year
curriculum of at least 15 units of acceptable entrance credits. The following
subjects must be included in these credits: one unit of beginning algebra, one unit
of advanced algebra, one unit of chemistry and three units of English. In addition, one biology unit and one unit of geometry or trigonometry are highly
recommended. Students not meeting these requirements may enter on a provisional basis. OAC students are required to take departmental competency examinations or CLEP examinations before credit will be granted in biology and
chemistry. Substitution for courses required as part of biology degree requirements must be approved by the dean.

Fisheries & Wildlife Management
Fisheries and wildlife courses place strong emphasis on understanding
organisms in their habitats and blend a conceptual understanding of fish and
wildlife populations with practical knowledge of relevant lab and field techniques. Students work with, and must learn to identify, a wide variety of plants,
fish, birds and mammals.
Students graduating from this rigorous curriculum can meet the qualifications of state and federal government agencies as technicians and biologists.
Students desiring certification by the Wildlife Society should consult with an
advisor for details. Other career opportunities include positions as naturalists,
conservation officers and related professions. The rigorous curriculum provides
an extremely competitive background for admittance to graduate school. All
students majoring in fisheries and wildlife management are strongly encouraged
to consider pursuing a graduate degree.

�Clinical Laboratory Science
Clinical laboratory scientists perform most of the clinical tests conducted in
hospital, clinical and health laboratories. Pharmaceutical manufacturers employ
clinical laboratory scientists in connection with the development of drugs and the
search for sera and vaccines. Students may obtain the bachelor of science degree
in clinical laboratory science by completing the specified three-year sequence at
the University (see clinical laboratory science bachelor of science requirements)
followed by 12 months training at an affiliated hospital. Students may elect any
NAACLS accredited hospital (whose program is approved as satisfactory by the
University). Lake Superior State University does not assume responsibility for
obtaining an affiliation at an approved hospital. Graduates of this program are
eligible to take a national examination for certification as a registered clinical
laboratory scientist.
Entrance Requirements: To qualify for admission as freshmen, applicants
must be graduates of accredited secondary schools with above-average standing
in their class. Their secondary school preparation should include a four-year
curriculum of at least 15 units of acceptable entrance credits. The following
subjects must be included in these credits: one unit of beginning algebra, one unit
of.geometry, one-half unit of advanced algebra, one unit of chemistry or physics
(preferably chemistry) and three units of English. One unit of biology is highly
recommended. Students not meeting these requirements may enter on a provisional basis.

Pre-Professional: Medicine, Optometry,
Dentistry and Veterinary Medicine
Professional schools, including medical, dental, optometry and veterinary
schools, typically do not specifically require any college degree, let alone a
specific degree in biology. However, applicants to professional schools are
seldom accepted with only three years of undergraduate credit. Further, since
career goals often change, pre-professional students at LSSU are encouraged to
remain four years and complete the requirements for a baccalaureate degree. A
survey of medical and dental school admission requirements for the United States
and Canada as published by the American and Canadian Associations of Medical
and Dental Colleges shows that courses taken for either the Lake Superior State
University bachelor of science or bachelor of arts degree in biology meet the most
Science and Natural Resources• 223
�stringent entrance requirements. Therefore, although other ~~ricula may be
pursued as pre-professional degrees, most students elect to strive toward a degree
in biology.
A handbook is available to all LSSU pre-health professional students upon
formal admission to our programs. This handbook is designed to assist students
in achieving their goal of successful entrance into professional school.
Pre-Pharmacy (Transfer Program)
The two-year course of study outlined below is a guide for those who plan to
apply for admission and transfer to a three-year professional pharmacy curriculum at another institution. In Michigan, such programs are offered at Ferris State
University, University of Michigan and Wayne State University. For further
information and planning, students are advised to consult catalogs from these or
other institutions. Generally, application for admission to a professional pharmacy currirulum must be submitted after completing the first year of prepharmacy studies.
Usually, students must have a cumulative grade point average of 2.00 as well
as grades of C or better in science and mathematics. Students entering Ferris State
University with one year of high school physics may pass a physics proficiency
examination in lieu of the year of college physics. If the latter courses are not
taken, a sequence of humanities or behavioral science courses is recommended.
The following suggested schedule, for instance, is recommended and meets
all requirements for admission to the School of Pharmacy of Ferris State University.

�Three-Year Degree Plan for a Bachelor of Science in
Criminal Justice Following the NRT Degree
Students with a particular interest in state and federal laws enacted to protect
our natural resources and federal restrictions on the use of our renewable resources should consider obtaining both an associate degree in natural resources
technology (two years) and a bachelor of science degree in aziminal justice (three
additional years). The NRT degree will provide the student with a good general
background in natural resources and the criminal justice degree will allow the
student to be fully qualified for many different law enforcement opportunities.
Jobs for conservation law officers are limited, but the above configuration of
degrees prepares a student to be highly competitive for openings that do occur.
Students selecting this course of study should work closely with their advisors in
order to complete both degrees in the five-year span. After completing the twoyear NRT associate degree, students would complete the following sequence of
courses. This plan assumes MLEOTC certification and 91 additional hours.

DEPARTMENT OF C .HEMISTRY AND
ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE
Environmental Chemistry
Environmental chemistry is a relatively new, fast-growing subdiscipline of
chemistry that addresses the need of society for a safe, healthy environment by
applying chemical principles to the maintenance and enhancement of environmental quality. Chemicals have increased our standard of living and quality of
life, but have also exacted a heavy price in terms of pollution and environmental
degradation. It is only through the enlightened application of chemistry that the
problems caused by chemicals can be solved and environmental quality improved. Anyone entering into an environmental field, as well as those entering
the chemical profession, should have a basic understanding of environmental
chemistry. The environmental sector is the fastest growing component of the U.S.
economy, and shortages are greatest in the areas of environmental chemistry as
well as environmental engineering. 'The environmental chemistry program at
Lake Superior State University is intended for students who have an interest in
and aptitude for chemistry and a concern for the environment. The program
takes advantage of LSSU's strategic location at the outlet of Lake Superior, which
provides for a broad variety of field and research experiences. Graduates of the
program will apply chemical methods to the study, amelioration and solution of
environmental problems. They will be employable by federal and state or
provincial agencies, industries, and businesses, and as environmental consultants.
Science and Natural Resources• 227
�Entrance Requirements: Those planning to enroll in the program should
have completed at least 15 units of acceptable entrance credits at an accredited
secondary school with above-average standing in their class. The credits must
include one unit of beginning algebra, one-half unit of advanced algebra, one un
of geometry, one unit of chemistry and three units of English. An additional yea1
of chemistry and a year of senior math are highly recommended.

DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY
AND PHYSICS
Since the beginning of the solar system, our earth has been developing. Our
present environment is the result of the cumulative interaction of many dynamic
physical, chemical and biological processes.
Geology deals with the dynamic earth, its physical makeup, and its physical
and organic history. It involves the study of changes which have taken place and
the forces which cause, and are now causing, these changes. By drawing on
concepts of biology, chemistry, mathematics and physics, geologists attempt to
understand the physical environment in which we live and from which we derive
most of the natural resources essential to our civilization. Our civilization
requires many non-renewable natural resources in order to survive. Since the
turn of the century, we have used more and more of these resources at an everincreasing rate and now have critical supply problems. Our demands upon the
environment have significantly changed the earth around us, and, if we are to
Science and Natural Resources • 232
�survive, we must live within the constraints imposed by nature. Geologists study
and understand these constraints. They apply their knowledge to achieve
harmony between the human race and its environment.
Geology has a broad scientific base in mathematics, physics, biology and
chemistry as well as emphasizing fundamentals of geologic science and geophysics. Increases in the demand for energy fuels and mineral products result in an
expansion of opportunities for graduates in geology. Students contemplating
careers in geology should, upon graduating, expect to travel, often to remote and
uninhabited areas. Most of the jobs entail outdoor field work, often under
difficult conditions.
Other new fields are now requiring geologists, as are companies and agencies
such as NASA and EPA which are involved with extraterrestrial and environmental concerns. The geological environment of Lake Superior State University
provides unexcelled opportunities for field study of classic sections illustrating
Precambrian stratigraphy, structure, intrusions, and metamorphism and undisturbed Paleozoic sedimentary formations. Proximity to deposits of iron, copper,
uranium, dolomite and the Michigan oil and gas fields, as well as other minerals,
is an additional advantage. Students are eligible to participate in the
department's active research in geology.
Entrance Requirements: To qualify for admission to the program in geology,
applicants must satisfy University admission requirements as described in the
Admissions section of the Catalog. (This information is also included in the
Viewbook.)
Secondary school academic subjects should include: Three units of English,
two units of algebra, one unit of geometry, and one unit of chemistry and physics.
One-half unit of trigonometry is highly recommended.
Completion of the program may require more than four years for students
who do not meet all entrance requirements.
For students with college-level achievement, the opportunity will be offered,
by means of examination, to obtain course credit or placement into an advanced
course.

Continuing Education
Community Services and Development (CSD) provides educational opportunities for non-traditional students in LSSU's service region. In cooperation with
academic departments, CSD creates opportunities to meet the educational needs
of adult students through alternative delivery options such as distance learning,
flexible schedules, off-campus sites and weekend courses. CSD provides an
academic focus for external and off-campus degree programs, continuing education, evening and weekend courses and public service programs. All are flexible
and accessible to learners whose job, family and community responsibilities
conflict with traditional academic schedules.
Regional reprt;!Sentatives are located at Alpena Community College in
Alpena, Bay de Noc Community College in Escanaba, North Central Michigan
College in Petoskey and Northwestern Michigan College in Traverse City.
Students may earn a master of business administration (MBA), and bachelor of
science degrees in business administration, accounting, nursing (B.S.N. completion program for registered nurses), criminal justice/generalists and engineering
management. All degree requirements (with exception of 3+1 programs) may be
completed at the off-campus sites. The time required to complete the degree
varies, according to each student's individual schedule and the number of college
credits already completed.
CSD provides opportunities to earn graduate and undergraduate degrees in
the evenings or weekends on campus.

�EQUAL OPPORTUNITY
Notice of Lake Superior State University's policy of compliance with federal and state /aw
Policy
The University is an equal opportunity employer and educator and prohibits discrimi•
nation, including harassment, on the basis of race, color, national origin or ancestry, gender
age, disability, religion, height, weight, sexual preference, marital status, or veteran status. '
In carrying out this policy, the University complies with all federal and state laws and
regulations prohibiting discrimination including:
Executive Order 11246, the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act of 1976, TIiie VI of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964, The Equal Pay Act of 1963, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as
amended by the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972, and the Pregnancy Discrimi·
nation Act of 1978, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, Titles Vll and VIII of the
Public Health Service Act, Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, Sections 503 and
504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Veteran's Assistance Act of 1972, and litle II of the
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
Sexual Harassment
The University is committed to a policy of nondiscrimination on the basis of gender.
Discrimination because of gender includes sexual harassment, which means unwelcome
sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct or
communication of a sexual nature when:
i.
ii.
iii.
Submission to such conduct or communication is made a term or condition either
explicitly or implicitly to obtain employment, public accommodations or public
services, education, or housing;
Submission to or rejection of such conduct or communication by an individual is
used as a factor in decisions affecting such individual's employment, public
accommodations or public services, education, or housing; or
Such conduct or communication has the purpose or effect of subst.antially .
interfering with an individual's employment, public accommodations or public
services, education, or housing environment.
The University is committed to the protection of the rights ?f.all ind!vi~uals and to t~e
elimination of barriers that would prevent individuals from realizing their ~1gh_es! Po!ential
of human excellence. Sexual harassment is a particularly noxious form of da.scnmmation
that interferes with these goals and commitments, and is difficult to combat due to the
intimidation and destruction of self esteem of its victims.

With the Grievance Officer, individuals may discuss concerns they may have
regarding possible discrimination or harassment to learn what options are available.
Nonretaliation: The University not only prohibits discrimination, including
harassment, but also strictly prohibits any retaliation against any individual, who,
in good faith, has registered a complaint under this procedure. Any supervisor,
agent, or employee of the University who, after investigation, has been determined to have retaliated against any individual for using the complaint procedure
in this policy, will be subject to appropriate discipline up to and including
immediate discharge. If an individual believes he or she has been retaliated
against for exercising his or her rights under this policy, the individual should use
this complaint procedure.
All matters discussed in this process will be kept as confidential as possible.
If an individual is dissatisfied with the University's investigation process or
resolution, he or she may file complaints of illegal discrimination on the basis of
gender (Title IX and Title VJ) or disability (Section 504 and Title II of the ADA)
with the Office for Civil Rights, U.S. Department of Education, Chicago, IL 60605.
A Title IX, Title VI, Section 504, or Title II ADA complaint must be filed in writing
with the Office for Civil Rights no later than 180 days after the occurrence of the
possible discrimination.
Individuals have the right under the law to seek remedies from the Michigan
Department of Civil Rights, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the
Office for Civil Rights, U.S. Department of Education or by court action at the
same time a grievance is filed under the University's procedure, during or after
the use of the grievance process, or without using the grievance process at all.
STEP 1:
Informal Complaint
Any individual (complainant) with a discrimination or harassment complaint, may
contact the Grievance Officer in person.
The Grievance Officer will speak with the complainant and try to resolve the matter on
an informal basis. At Step 1, all information will be kept confidential to the extent possible.
STEP2:
Formal Complaint
If the problem cannot be resolved at Step 1 within five (5) working days from the date
of first contact with the Grievance Officer, the complainant may submit a written complaint
on a form provided by the Grievance Officer. The Grievance Officer will help the complainant complete the form if the complainant requests.
Within five (5) working days of the receipt of the written complaint, the Grievance
Officer will send a Notice of Complaint, a copy of the complaint form, a response form and
a copy of this procedure to the respondent. The respondent will submit the completed
response form within five (5) working days from the date the complaint is received by the
respondent.
The Grievance Officer will conduct an investigation. The investigation should be
completed within twenty (20) working days after receipt of the response. If the complaint is
against the University as the Employer, the Grievance Officer will have thirty (30) days
from the receipt of the written complaint to investigate the matter.
Within ten (10) working days of completion of the investigation, the Grievance Officer
will issue to the complainant and to the respondent a written Determination stating
whether the allegations of the complaint are true and any remedial action recommended.
At Step 2, information will be kept confidential to the extent possible.
STEP3:
Hearing

determination, he or she may request that the matter be referred to a Hearing Panel for a
Equal Opportunity • 360
�hearing by submitting the form obtained from the Grievance Officer. The request for
hearing must be submitted in writing to the Grievance Officer within five (5) working days
after receipt of the Determination.
The President will appoint a permanent Hearing Panel composed of three members
including, if possible, at least one female and one minority member. The vice president for
business and financial operations will be the chairperson and will conduct the hearing.
The Grievance Officer will send a Notice of Hearing and a copy of the Request for
Hearing to the complainant, respondent (if any), and Hearing Panel, scheduling the hearing
within fifteen (15) working days, unless the Panel Chairperson provides otherwise and 50
notifies those involved.
At the·hearing, the complainant and respondent will be allowed to give their own
testimony, present the testimony of witnesses, documentary evidence or other evidence
relevant to the proceedings and cross-examine the other party's witnesses. The complainant and respondent may have an attorney or other advisor present. The Grievance Officer
will present the findings of the investigation conducted at Step 2 and may present witnesses, if appropriate. To ensure the privacy of those involved, witnesses (other than the
complainant and respondent) will be allowed in the hearing room only during their
testimony. At the Chairperson's discretion, the hearing may be recorded.
Within fifteen (15) working days after completion of the hearing, the Chairperson will
issue the Decision and recommended order of the Hearing Panel. The Decision will be
mailed to the complainant and respondent with a copy to the Grievance Officer. The
Chairperson will implement any action recommended by the Panel.
STEP4:
Appeal
The decision of the Hearing Panel will be final and binding. If grievants wish to
pursue the matter further, they may file with the outside agencies listed in Policy section,
No. 5. and 6.
Section 5.02 of the by-laws of the Board of Trustees, approved July 24, 1989, will not be
invoked for grievances submitted for settlement under this procedure.
