Applied Physics and Electronic Science
This program with the Oregon Graduate Institute (OGI) offers a student the possibility of obtaining a bachelor of arts degree in physics from Reed and a master's degree from OGI after five years of study. Work at OGI emphasizes experimental research in solid state and surface physics, lasers and electro-optics, electron and ion optics, and several other fields of applied physics. Transfer from Reed to OGI can take place at the end of the junior year or the first half of the senior year, with faculty approval. The program calls for a minimum of three years at Reed, satisfactory completion of the junior qualifying examination, the acquisition of at least 22 Reed units (at least 20 of which, including the distribution requirements, must be earned at Reed), and a minimum of one-and-one-half years at OGI. This program is under revision and is anticipated for renewal as a program in electrical engineering and applied physics.


Computer Science
By arrangement with the University of Washington, a student may obtain a bachelor of arts degree from Reed and a bachelor of science degree in computer science from the University of Washington. The program calls for three years at Reed, including completion of the general distribution requirements and major requirements in one department, the passing of the junior qualifying examination, the acquisition of a minimum of 22 Reed units (at least 20 of which, including the distribution requirements, must be earned at Reed), and two years at the University of Washington.

The university will admit up to five students per year on the recommendation of Reed College. Recommended students must satisfy the university's G.P.A. requirements for transfer students, which may differ from year to year and which are not necessarily the same for Washington residents and non-residents.

Computer science degrees are also available under the engineering programs described later in this section.

Course Requirements
These vary, depending upon the field of the Reed major -chemistry, mathematics, or physics. Consult the Reed dual degree coordinator for specific information. In special cases, an ad hoc program with the biology or economics department, or another department, may be approved.


Computer Science and Engineering Master of Science
This program is designed to allow an undergraduate at Reed College to fulfill simultaneously the requirements for a B.A. from Reed and an M.S. in computer science and engineering from the Oregon Graduate Institute (OGI) in Portland. To accomplish this, the student will extend his or her matriculation to five years, shared between the two institutions.

The student interested in this program will be expected to announce an intention to apply for the joint degree program at the beginning of the junior year. This student will be expected to complete three years of work as a mathematics or physics major at Reed College including a minimum of 22 Reed units (at least 20 of which, including the distribution requirements, must be earned at Reed). At the beginning of the senior year the student will transfer to OGI to continue study in computer science and to perform research and write a thesis to satisfy the requirements of both degrees. The two degrees will be awarded concurrently.

This program will require the Reed student to prepare in core areas of computer science through certain Reed mathematics courses. Success in the M.S. program will depend both on the student's ability and motivation, and on how well he or she is prepared to undertake graduate-level coursework in computer science.

Course Requirements
Consult the Reed dual degree coordinator or the Reed web pages for details. Candidates must be recommended by a Reed faculty committee.

Engineering
By arrangement with the California Institute of Technology (C.I.T.), Columbia University School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, or Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, a student may obtain a bachelor's degree in engineering (alternatively, computer science or certain earth and planetary sciences) and a bachelor of arts degree from Reed. The program calls for three years at Reed, including the completion of the general college distribution requirements, major requirements in one department (excluding thesis), the passing of the junior qualifying examination, the acquisition of a minimum of 22 Reed units (at least 20 of which, including all but two units of the distribution requirement, must be earned at Reed), and two years at the engineering school. Transfer students entering these programs should expect to spend no fewer than five semesters at Reed to meet this requirement. The two degrees will be awarded concurrently; all requirements for both degrees must be met before either is awarded.

Admission to the engineering school is contingent on the college's recommendation and the student's having met certain course requirements of the engineering school while at Reed. Typical course requirements are two years of physics, one or two years of chemistry, and two years of mathematics, including differential equations. Students with a G.P.A. less than 3.0 should not normally expect to be recommended. Admission to the specific field of engineering preferred by the student is not guaranteed; the student's academic record can be relevant.

Admission to C.I.T. is not automatic upon recommendation, but is subject to review by C.I.T. and may depend upon factors that cannot be anticipated; financial aid is not guaranteed by C.I.T. to otherwise eligible students.

While admission to the other programs is also subject to review by the participating school, admission can usually be expected upon recommendation.

Course Requirements
During the freshman year:
Mathematics 111/112 or 211/212; Physics 100. Consult with the Reed dual degree coordinator for information on other required courses.

Forestry-Environmental Sciences
By arrangement with the Nicholas School of the Environment of Duke University, a student may obtain a bachelor of arts degree at Reed and a professional master's degree from Duke (master of forestry or master of environmental management). Work at Duke emphasizes three aspects of study and research in forest and other renewable natural resources: management, science, and policy. The program calls for three years at Reed, including completion of the general college distribution and major requirements (excluding thesis), passing of the junior qualifying examination, the acquisition of a minimum of 22 Reed units (at least 20 of which, including the distribution requirements, must be earned at Reed), and two years at Duke. Students in all academic majors may qualify for the program.

Course Requirements
l. Biology 101,102; Mathematics 111 or 112, and Mathematics 141; and Economics 201.
2. Successful completion of the junior qualifying exam before the end of the junior year.

Students should plan to take the Graduate Record Examination and make formal application for admission to Duke during the third year at Reed. In the summer following the third year, the student should begin work at Duke.

Additional information may be obtained from the faculty adviser for the forestry-environmental sciences program.

Pacific Northwest College of Art Program
Students may major in art either through the regular program at the college or by entering the joint program with the Pacific Northwest College of Art (PNCA). The joint program requires five years: the first and second years at Reed, followed by a two-year course of full-time study at PNCA, and a fifth year combining work at both institutions. The thesis is carried out at PNCA, with Reed faculty members serving as visitors. Graduates of this program receive the bachelor of arts degree from Reed and bachelor of fine arts degree from PNCA.

Students interested in this course of study are strongly advised to meet with the Reed chair of the joint program before the end of their first year. Although application to the program occurs in the fourth semester, it is important that students be aware of the requirement differences for the Reed art and joint program majors. Applicants to the program are recommended by the Reed chair, and acceptance is contingent upon successful completion of at least 16 units of Reed credit, including at least three units of studio art and one unit of art history at Reed.

The physical education and distribution requirements are the same as those for all other students at Reed. The minimum credit requirement for graduation is 20 units taken in courses at Reed plus 20 units at PNCA, instead of the usual 30 units required of students earning only the B.A. from Reed or students earning only the B.F.A. from PNCA. PNCA requires 120 credits for the B.F.A., which is equivalent to 30 Reed units. Four PNCA credits are equal to one Reed unit.

The committee, which replaces the usual major department and division, requires the following:
1. One unit of art history and three units of studio art at Reed during the freshman or sophomore years.
2. Two additional units of art history at Reed before graduation.
3. Two years of full-time study and a final (fifth) year of half-time study, including thesis, at PNCA.
4. Four units of work at Reed during the thesis (fifth) year. The thesis year must be taken as a full-time program, combining four units at Reed with 18 credits at PNCA. Students must have completed 16 Reed units before the beginning of their final thesis year.

Although the divisional requirements of a 200-level humanities course and a second year of a foreign language are waived, students are strongly encouraged to complete one or both of them.

The qualifying examination, thesis, and oral examination, normally administered by the major department and division, are under the jurisdiction of PNCA. The board of examiners for the thesis includes at least one faculty member from the art department at Reed.

Because of the limited number of courses at Reed under this program, transfer credit from other institutions can be granted only as an addition to the 20 units and specific course requirements at Reed. Transfer students, especially, should consult with the committee chair as early as possible.

Standards for admission to Reed and to PNCA under the combined program are the same as those for students applying to the regular programs at either institution. For financial arrangements for this joint program see the "Costs" section in the Reed College catalog.

Pre-Medical/Pre-Veterinary
Qualified Reed students have been extremely successful in gaining admission to many of the country's top medical and veterinary schools. Although there is no formal pre-medical major at Reed, the admission requirements of most medical schools can be met by completion of the following courses:

Most medical schools do not expect students to necessarily focus their undergraduate studies in the sciences. Breadth in the humanities and the social sciences is encouraged. Since there are more than 100 domestic medical schools and 30 veterinary schools, the student may encounter variation in the number and character of admission requirements. Students should be acquainted with the specific requirements and programs of the schools to which they are applying. It is important for pre-medical and pre-veterinary students to consult early with a faculty adviser to plan an undergraduate program that will provide the best preparation for successful application to medical or veterinary school. Students considering pre-medical or pre-veterinary studies are strongly encouraged to make contact with the career services office early in their undergraduate careers. In addition to offering pre-medical advising, the office maintains a library of resources essential to the pre-medical school planning process, including the guide Preparation for Medical School at Reed, which includes important timelines.

A pre-medical committee functions as an additional source of advice and also provides letters of recommendation and mock interviews for medical or veterinary school applicants. Students planning to apply to medical or veterinary school should get in touch with the pre-medical committee at least three months before the application deadline. Graduating students who plan to take time off before applying to medical or veterinary school should advise the committee of their plans before graduation.

I. INSTRUCTIONAL FACULTY AND CLASS SIZE

I-1. Please report number of instructional faculty members in each category for Fall 2001.

The following definition of instructional faculty is used by the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) in its annual Faculty Compensation Survey. Instructional Faculty is defined as those members of the instructional-research staff whose major regular assignment is instruction, including those with released time for research. Institutions are asked to EXCLUDE:
(a) instructional faculty in preclinical and clinical medicine
(b) administrative officers with titles such as dean of students, librarian, registrar, coach, and the like, even though they may devote part of their time to classroom instruction and may have faculty status,
(c) undergraduate or graduate students who assist in the instruction of courses, but have titles such as teaching assistant, teaching fellow, and the like
(d) faculty on leave without pay, and
(e) replacement faculty for faculty on sabbatical leave.

Full-time: faculty employed on a full-time basis
Part-time: faculty teaching less than two semesters, three quarters, two trimesters, or two four-month sessions. Also includes adjuncts and part-time instructors.
Minority faculty: includes faculty who designate themselves as black, non-Hispanic; American Indian or Alaskan native; Asian or Pacific Islander; or Hispanic.
Doctorate: includes such degrees as Doctor of Education, Doctor of Juridical Science, Doctor of Public Health, and Doctor of Philosophy degree in any field such as agronomy, food technology, education, engineering, public administration, ophthalmology, or radiology.
First-professional: includes the fields of dentistry (DDS or DMD), medicine (MD), optometry (OD), osteopathic medicine (DO), pharmacy (DPharm or BPharm), podiatric medicine (DPM), veterinary medicine (DBM), chiropractic (DC or DCM), law (JD) and theological professions (MDiv, MHL).
Terminal degree: the highest degree in a field: example, M.Arch (architecture) and MFA (Master of Fine Arts).

I-2. Student to Faculty Ratio

Report the Fall 2001 ratio of full-time equivalent students (full-time plus 1/3 part-time) to full-time equivalent instructional faculty (full-time plus 1/3 part-time). In the ratio calculations, exclude both faculty and students in stand-alone graduate or professional programs such as medicine, law, veterinary, dentistry, social work, business, or public health in which faculty teach virtually only graduate level students. Do not count undergraduate or graduate student teaching assistants as faculty.

Fall 2001 Student to Faculty ratio: 10 to 1.

I-3. Undergraduate Class Size

In the table below, please use the following definitions to report information about the size of classes and class sections offered in the Fall 2001 term.

Class Sections: A class section is an organized course offered for credit, identified by discipline and number, meeting at a stated time or times in a classroom or similar setting, and not a subsection such as a laboratory or discussion session. Undergraduate class sections are defined as any sections in which at least one degree-seeking undergraduate student is enrolled for credit. Exclude distance learning classes and noncredit classes and individual instruction such as dissertation or thesis research, music instruction, or one-to-one readings. Exclude students in independent study, cooperative programs, internships, foreign language taped tutor sessions, practicums, and all students in one-on-one classes. Each class section should be counted only once and should not be duplicated because of course catalog cross-listings.

Class Subsections: A class subsection includes any subsection of a course, such as laboratory, recitation, and discussion subsections that are supplementary in nature and are scheduled to meet separately from the lecture portion of the course. Undergraduate subsections are defined as any subsections of courses in which degree-seeking undergraduate students enrolled for credit. As above, exclude noncredit classes and individual instruction such as dissertation or thesis research, music instruction, or one-to-one readings. Each class subsection should be counted only once and should not be duplicated because of cross-listings.

Using the above definitions, please report for each of the following class-size intervals the number of class sections and class subsections offered in Fall 2001. For example, a lecture class with 800 students who met at another time in 40 separate labs with 20 students should be counted once in the "100+" column in the class section column and 40 times under the "20-29" column of the class subsections table.
