From Normal to Extraordinary: AHistory of Rowan University

Rowan University has evolved from its humblebeginning in 1923 as a normal school, with a mis-sion to train teachers for South Jersey classrooms,to a comprehensive university with a strongregional reputation.

In the early 1900s, many New Jersey teacherslacked proper training because of a shortage ofschools in the state that provided training. Tocounter the trend, the state decided to build a two-year training school for teachers, known then as anormal school, in Southern New Jersey.

The town of Glassboro was an early favoritebecause of its excellent rail system, harmoniousblend of industry and agriculture, natural beautyand location in the heart of South Jersey.

Several towns in South Jersey competed to bethe site of the new normal school because of theeconomic benefit and prestige such an institutionwould bring. In 1917, to sway the decision in theirfavor, 107 residents and businesses of Glassbororaised more than $7,000 to purchase 25 acres,which they offered to the state for free if it select-ed Glassboro as the site for the new college.

The land included the Whitney mansion and car-riage house. Before the purchase, the entire prop-erty belonged to the Whitney family, prominentowners of the Whitney Glass Works during the1800s. This show of support, along with the site’snatural beauty, convinced the selection committeethat Glassboro was the perfect location.

In September 1923, Glassboro Normal Schoolopened with 236 young women arriving by train toconvene in the school’s first building, now calledBunce Hall. Dr. Jerohn Savitz, the University’s firstpresident, expanded the curriculum as the trainingof teachers became more sophisticated. Despitethe rigors of the Depression, the program wasexpanded to four years in 1934. In 1937, the schoolchanged its name to New Jersey State TeachersCollege at Glassboro.

The college gained a national reputation as aleader in the field of reading education and physi-cal therapy when it opened a clinic for childrenwith reading disabilities in 1935 and added physi-cal therapy for the handicapped in 1944. The col-lege was one of the first in the country to recognizethese needs and was in the forefront of the specialeducation movement.

Rowan’s second president, Dr. Edgar Bunce, cre-ated a junior college program in 1946 to serveWorld War II veterans taking advantage of the GIBill.

In the 1950s, Dr. Thomas Robinson, theUniversity’s third president, expanded the curricu-lum, increased enrollment and added severalbuildings to the campus. In 1958, the school’sname was changed to Glassboro State College tobetter reflect its mission.

The University received worldwide attentionwhen it hosted a historic summit conferencebetween President Lyndon Johnson and SovietPremier Aleksei Kosygin. The conference was heldin Hollybush, the former Whitney Mansion. TheUniversity was chosen because of its strategiclocation midway between Washington, D.C. andNew York, where Kosygin was visiting to speak atthe United Nations. The meetings between thetwo leaders on June 23-25, 1967 led to a thaw inthe Cold War and eased world tensions.

The University’s fourth president, Dr. MarkChamberlain, guided the college through its nextphase of growth as enrollment doubled and thecollege became a multi-purpose institution in the1970s. As new majors and a BusinessAdministration Division were added, the college’sfour divisions grew into schools, a board oftrustees was formed and a satellite campus wasopened in Camden. With a 1978 Division IIINational Championship in baseball-the first of 11national championships-the athletic programestablished itself as one of the premiere athleticprograms in the country.

The fifth president, Dr. Herman James, assumedthe leadership of the college in 1984. Under hisdirection, Rowan established the first doctorateprogram in the state’s college/university system,added the College of Engineering and College ofCommunication and attained university status. Dr.James also was responsible for the construction ofa new $16.8-million library, an $8.6-million studentrecreation center, and the $30-million engineeringschool facility.

In July 1992, industrialist Henry Rowan and hiswife, Betty, donated $100 million to the institution,then the largest gift ever given to a public collegeor university in the history of higher education.Later that year, the school changed its name toRowan College of New Jersey to recognize theRowans’ generosity.

To lead Rowan University into the 21st century,the Board of Trustees named Dr. Donald J. Farishas the sixth president in July 1998.

Today, Rowan University is divided into aGraduate School and six academic colleges:Business, Communication, Education, Engineering,Fine & Performing Arts and Liberal Arts &Sciences. Rowan’s nearly 10,000 students can

select from among 36 undergraduate majors,seven teacher certification programs, 26 master’sdegree programs and a doctoral program in educa-tional leadership. The tree-lined campus contains42 buildings, including eight residence halls, fourapartment complexes, a Student RecreationCenter and 23 computer labs.

Rowan is in the midst of an aggressive 10-yearplan that will give the university a national reputa-tion for excellence and innovation and will make itthe public university of choice in the region. Theplan calls for the construction of new academicbuildings and residence halls, renovation of mostof the existing facilities, implementation of a com-prehensive landscaping plan and purchase of near-ly 600 acres in nearby Harrison and Mantua town-ships for the University’s third campus. The anchorof the new campus, located two miles west ofGlassboro, will be the South Jersey TechnologyPark at Rowan University-a project expected toplay a significant role in the economic develop-ment of the region.

Throughout its history Rowan has earned a rep-utation as a high quality, moderately priced univer-sity. Its programs and achievements have caughtthe attention of national organizations that evalu-ate colleges and universities. US News & WorldReport ranked Rowan University in the "Top Tier" ofNorthern Regional Universities. Kaplan includedthe University in "The Unofficial, Biased Insider’sGuide to the 320 Most Interesting Colleges." Also,Kiplinger’s named Rowan University one of the"100 Best Buys in Public Colleges and Universities"and the Princeton Review included Rowan in thelatest edition of "The Best Northeastern Colleges."

From the modest normal school begun morethan 80 years ago, Rowan University has becomean extraordinary comprehensive institution thathas improved the quality of life for the citizens ofNew Jersey and the surrounding states.

and community service. Through intellectual,social and cultural contributions, the Universityenriches the lives of those in the campus commu-nity and surrounding region.

The Rowan VisionRowan University, at the next level, will contin-

ue to focus on its commitment to learning andteaching, combining liberal education with profes-sional preparation. Rowan will advance throughthe rankings of regional universities on thestrength of its excellent undergraduate programsand its noteworthy development of a learning-cen-tered environment. At the same time and withoutcompromising the primacy of its focus on residen-tial, undergraduate education, Rowan Universitywill continue to build on its growing leadership ingraduate and continuing professional education.The Rowan Experience

The pursuit of high qualitative standards foracademic programs for Rowan University will becarried forward in the context of a philosophy thatthe ideal educational experience focuses on thedevelopment of students as whole persons whilethey are engaged in rigorous academic pursuits.While cultivating the complete intellectual, physi-cal, emotional, social and cultural well being of allmembers of the University community, the Rowanexperience is built upon residential learning com-munities, mentoring programs, a commitment toservice learning and volunteerism, a requiredRowan Seminar for incoming freshmen, andawareness of current findings in the study of stu-dent life. Additionally, the Rowan experience pro-vides the opportunity for students to work closelywith faculty and professional staff in research andprofessional activities. A principal goal at Rowanis to motivate all students to take responsibility fortheir own learning, which is the outlook most con-ducive to the strongest intellectual growth anddevelopment.

Goals(adopted from Five Year Plan, Strategic

Objectives, 2003-2008)

Academic ProgramsHigh quality academic programs will provide

opportunities for student research and collabora-tion. Student learning outcomes will be assessed

to help students improve and maintain academicsuccess and to assist the institution in monitoringquality. Programs will meet national standards ofexcellence through national accreditation, peerreview and/or benchmarks against standards inthe discipline. Information Resources

Rowan University will develop and maintain aneffective technology infrastructure to support theuniversity’s information-system needs. InformationResources, along with Campbell Library, will play asignificant role in assisting students and faculty inidentifying and mastering rapidly developing tech-nological resources that are such a dominant forcein storing and transmitting information. In addition,Campbell Library will be a key participant in theUniversity’s efforts to ensure that all studentsattain a sufficient level of information literacy sup-portive of integrative learning.

Academic and Student SupportRowan University is committed to providing high

quality, student-centered academic and studentsupport services that increase and enhance reten-tion and graduation rates. Implementation of acomprehensive and effective enrollment manage-ment plan will allow the university to maintainenrollment at current levels, continue to seek highquality students, assure diversity of the studentbody, and better accommodate students admissioninto and progress toward completion of theirdesired majors. Learning Community

We will continue fostering a community ofscholars dedicated to the concept of an integratedlearning experience. Increased interactionbetween faculty and students, as well as theremoval of artificial walls that traditionally standbetween what students learn in and out of class,will become the hallmark of the Rowan experi-ence. Interdisciplinary and integrative learning willbe stressed; living/learning programming will beenhanced; educational programs and student sup-port services will be integrated, and residence hallprogramming will be further developed. We willbroaden our understanding of teaching to incorpo-rate helping students to develop in settings out-side of the classroom. International/MulticulturalUnderstanding

We will continue to develop students’ under-standing of the similarities and differences amongvarious cultural groups and enhance their appreci-


8

ation of other cultures and of the worth of all indi-viduals regardless of cultural background.Importantly, to move beyond tolerance in inter-group relations on campus will require both curric-ular and co-curricular activity. Community Service

We embrace our mission of providing service toour community and region, and promote anenhanced sense of civic responsibility and a high-er level of civic engagement for all members of theRowan community.

Basic Questions about Graduate Study

1. How can I take a course before being acceptedinto a program?

Some students prefer to “try out” one or twograduate courses before applying to a programor to improve their academic or professionalcredentials. Students are permitted to take up tonine credits (usually three courses) of graduatecoursework as non-matriculated students exceptfor MBA program, selected certificate programswhere six credits (two courses) is the limit.Non-matriculated students may register at In-Person Registration if they provide proof of theaward of the undergraduate degree. If studentsprovide evidence of the award of a master’sdegree or higher, they will be permitted to regis-ter for non-reserved courses beyond the ninecredit limit during In-Person Registration (theonly registration period available for non-matriculated students to register for anycourse).

2. Can I go part-time?

A substantial number of students pursue degreeor certification programs on a part-time basis.To accommodate these students, academicdepartments have scheduled most graduatecourses in late afternoons and evenings. Mostgraduate courses meet once a week, usuallyfrom 4:45-7:15, 7:25-9:55, or 6:30-9:00 p.m. inthe fall and spring semesters. The Registrar’sOffice prepares course schedule booklets eachsemester listing available courses and meetingtimes.

3. What are the application deadlines?

Most Rowan University graduate applicationsare accepted at any time of the year (rollingadmissions). However, selected graduate degreeprograms have established application dead-lines (October 1 for Spring admissions andMarch 1 for Summer and Fall admissions forSchool Psychology, Mental Health and AppliedPsychology, Student Personnel Services,Learning Disabilities, Reading Education andWriting). The Masters of Science in Teachingapplication deadlines to submit all materials,including all official relevant tests scores isApril 1.

4. How are admissions decisions made?

Applications cannot be reviewed by a programadmissions committee until all required materi-als are received. In order to facilitate thisprocess, all materials should be submitted atone time in the envelope attached to the appli-cation. Applicants will be notified of a decisionas soon as possible by letter.

Because of competition for available slots, stu-dents must be aware that complying with alladmissions requirements does not guaranteeacceptance. Applicants are evaluated on thebasis of multiple criteria: grade point average(both undergraduate and graduate); recommen-dations; standardized test scores and any addi-tional criteria required by the program ofchoice, such as interviews, writing samples,etc., as listed in the application requirements inthis catalog under individual program descrip-tions. Every effort is made to identify and admitthose students who demonstrate clearly boththe ability to benefit from the proposed programof study and the greatest promise of scholarlyachievement by carefully examining a variety ofdifferent criteria.

5. How long can I take to complete my program?

Students have six years from the date theymatriculate to complete their graduate degreeprograms. Under certain circumstances, a one-time extension of up to one additional year maybe granted.

6. Can I get financial aid?

Need-based financial aid for graduate studentsis administered by the Office of Financial Aid atRowan University (256-4250). Applicationsshould be filed as soon as possible afterJanuary 1. Applicants are advised not to wait foran admission decision before applying forneed-based financial aid. In addition, a limitednumber of graduate assistantships are availableannually through The Graduate School.Applications are available in March prior to thefall semester of the next academic year.Successful applicants receive tuition waiver anda stipend in exchange for part-time employmenton campus. Call The Graduate School (256-4050) for more information.

7. What if I just want to get New Jersey teachingcertification?

At Rowan University, the post-baccalaureateprogram leading to regular initial New Jerseyteaching certification is an undergraduate pro-gram and is administered through the Office ofThe Graduate School 256-4027.Individuals who seek additional certifications atthe graduate level are encouraged to apply forprogram admission through The GraduateSchool.

Admissions Requirements forInternational Applicants

In addition to the application requirements forall students as noted above, foreign or internation-al applicants who have completed a baccalaureatedegree at a college or university outside the U.S.are required to earn minimum scores of 213 (com-puter-based test) or 550 on the paper test ofEnglish as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), provide evi-dence of immunization against measles, mumps,and rubella, and evidence of the ability to havemedical insurance coverage during their proposedstay in the U.S. Applicants are further required tosubmit all application materials, including tran-scripts, diplomas, certificates, etc. translated intoEnglish. Foreign or international applicants mustarrange with World Education Services to have atleast a document by document review of their edu-cational credentials. World Education Servicesmust confirm that the applicant’s undergraduateexperience is the equivalent of four years of under-graduate study at an accredited U.S. college oruniversity, culminating in the bachelor’s degree.Also, foreign or international students are requiredto certify that sufficient funds to support their aca-demic and personal living expenses during theirstay in the U.S. are available. A non-refundableadmissions deposit of $300.00 is required as acondition of granting the F-1 visa. This deposit willbe applied to tuition and fees for the student’s firstsemester at Rowan University. Student depositswhich are not applied to tuition costs within oneyear of acceptance may not be applied to tuitioncosts after that time.

The F-1 visa is the only visa acceptable toRowan University for purposes of admission. As acondition of continuing matriculation, foreign orinternational students are required to maintain

full-time (at least 9 semester hours per term)enrollment in graduate courses leading to adegree.

Program TransfersStudents wishing to transfer from one program to

another should complete a transfer request formand return the form to The Graduate School.Approval for transfer is given by the program advi-sor of both the exiting and receiving programs,department chair, college dean, and the dean of TheGraduate School. The student, however, must meetthe conditions established by the advisor of the pro-gram into which transfer is requested. Studentswith questions about program change or specialrequests should see the program advisor or the staffof The Graduate School. The six-year requirementfor matriculated students to complete a programbegins with the date of the initial program.

Restriction on Non-Degree And Non-Matriculated Students

Certain graduate courses may be taken by col-lege graduates who wish to broaden their educa-tional experience without reference to the require-ments for a degree. However, students undertak-ing such work must apply for admission to thegraduate program before completing nine hours ofgraduate credit if they intend to become degreecandidates or if they wish to continue graduatestudy. The University reserves the right to specifywhat courses may be available for non-degreeseeking and non-matriculated students and toestablish certain minimum qualifications forenrollment in graduate courses by non-degreeseeking students and to restrict their course regis-trations. Most M.B.A. and M.S.T. graduate coursesare not available to non-degree seeking and non-matriculated students.

Non-degree seeking and non-matriculated stu-dents take courses at their own risk. The coursestaken by non-matriculated and non-degree stu-dents may or may not apply to a program if theapplicant is accepted. No more than nine semesterhours of graduate courses may be taken by non-matriculated and non-degree students or may beapplied to a master’s program. No more than eightsemester hours may be taken in any one semester.Non-degree and non-matriculated students whoregister for graduate courses at Rowan University

for the purpose of pursuing certification throughthe New Jersey Department of Education are sub-ject to all restrictions applicable to other non-degree seeking and non-matriculated studentsregarding course enrollments and course creditlimitations.

Post-Baccalaureate TeacherCertification Programs

Selected post-baccalaureate teacher certifica-tion programs are available in approved under-graduate teacher certification programs at theUniversity. These programs are designed to pro-vide initial teacher certification to candidates whomay be liberal arts graduates of an accredited col-lege or university or certified teachers seeking anadditional certification that does not require amaster’s degree. These programs require anearned bachelor’s degree in undergraduate pro-grams with the same course requirements asRowan’s degree programs. Admission to post-bac-calaureate teacher certificate programs is throughthe Office of Graduate Admissions (256-4027).

Students accepted into the post-baccalaureateteacher certification program are restricted to amaximum of six semester hours of graduate coursework. Registration in additional graduate coursesrequires the approval of The Graduate Schooldean. Students who exceed this six semester hourmaximum may have their registrations withdrawn.

Registration ProceduresTelephone and on-line registration for matricu-

lated students is usually conducted in April andMay for the Fall semester, in October andNovember for the Spring semester and beginningin March for the Summer sessions. Consult theMaster schedule of Classes for exact dates.

Payment of tuition and fees for those studentswho use telephone and on-line registration mustbe made by the date indicated on the course con-firmation invoice (term bill). Students who do notpay by the date indicated on the invoice will havetheir confirmations canceled. Students wishing tore-register after such a cancellation may do so atfinal registration by making selections from cours-es with seats remaining and paying tuition andfees at that time. Please note, that students whoregister during the final registration period will becharged a late registration fee.

In some instances, students who request cours-es via telephone registration will not receive suchcourses because they may have been canceled orclosed because requests exceeded seat capacity.When this occurs, charges for these courses willnot appear on the term bill. Students whoserequests for courses are not accepted may registerfor alternative courses during the schedule adjust-ment period or at final registration for no addition-al charge.

Telephone and on-line registration course con-firmation invoices for students receiving scholar-ships, VA benefits, graduate assistant stipendsand other financial aid must be validated by theBusiness Office by the date indicated on theinvoice. Students are responsible for this valida-tion regardless of who is paying the bill. If suchvalidation has not been completed by the duedate on the invoice, the confirmation will be can-celed. If students wish to re-register after such acancellation, they may do so at in-person regis-tration by making selections from courses withseats remaining and presenting evidence offinancial aid at that time.

Final Registration (Matriculated and Non-MatriculatedStudents)

Final registration is usually conducted one weekprior to the beginning of a semester or summersession. A late registration fee is charged.

Immunization and Medical RecordsAs a condition of admission and continued

enrollment, each student is required to provide evi-dence of immunization against measles, mumps,and rubella (N.J.S.A. 18A:61D-1). All residentialstudents must have proof of meningococcal vacci-nation. This vaccine is highly recommended for allother students. Students are also required to sub-mit a complete medical record to the studenthealth center. Additional information on theserequirements is available from The GraduateSchool. (256-4050) or the Student Health Center(256-4333).

Deferred Payment PlanUnder certain circumstances, deferred pay-

ments plans are available for full-time students.For more details, students must consult with theBursar’s Office (256-4150).

Full-Time StatusA full-time graduate student is one who has

enrolled for a minimum of nine (9) credit hours persemester.

Academic Policies andRequirements

The following selected policies and proceduresgovern conditions that affect student enrollment. Itis important to note that these are not a summaryof all academic policies and procedures that gov-ern graduate study. For more information on theseand other policies that may relate to academicaffairs, students are encouraged to consult theGraduate Student Handbook.

Academic HonestyThe vitality of any academic program is root-

ed in its integrity. It is essential to RowanUniversity that the grades awarded to studentsreflect only their own individual efforts andachievements. Each segment of the academiccommunity, i.e., faculty, students and adminis-tration, is responsible for the academic integrityof the University. Academic dishonesty, in anyform, will not be tolerated. Students found tohave committed an act of academic dishonestymay be subject to failure in the course, suspen-sion from the University, or both.

Grading SystemThe following are used to evaluate students’

performances in courses:

letter grade point valueA 4.0 ExcellentA– 3.7B+ 3.3B 3.0 GoodB– 2.7C+ 2.3C 2.0 FairC– 1.7D+ 1.3D 1.0 PoorD– 0.7F 0.0 FailureP — Pass

NC — No CreditIN — IncompleteThe following notations are inserted by theRegistrar:W — WithdrawalFR — Failure to Record

a GradeThe FR designation (Failure Registered) will be

inserted by the Registrar when instructors do notrecord grades for students in courses in whichthese students are registered. This notation maybe changed later to a regular letter grade byinstructors using the “Change of Grade” proce-dure. The notation could be changed to a W if stu-dents present sufficient evidence of withdrawalfrom the course involved.

The interim grade of IN (incomplete) may beassigned by an instructor under certain circum-stances. This grade must be removed before theend of the following academic semester. If studentsbelieve that circumstances warrant an extension,they may request the instructor, in writing, for suchan extension. If approved, the instructor will renewthe incomplete in the Registrar’s Office whengrades are due. Failure to remove the incompletegrade within the prescribed time will automaticallychange the IN to an F. Doctoral students proceed-ing through the 12 semester hours of dissertationcredits are awarded the IP (In Progress) designa-tion instead of the IN (Incomplete) grade until thesequence is completed.

Grades of C- and below do not meet therequirements for graduate credit and will not beapplied to the credits necessary for the successfulcompletion of a degree or certification program.

Academic Warning and DismissalFrom the Graduate Program

Academic Warning Students will be placed on academic warning

for either of the following conditions:

1. A student receives two grades (6 s.h.) of C+ orbelow.

2. A student has a cumulative GPA of less than 3.0after accumulating 9 graduate credits or more.


16

Dismissal ConditionsAcademic dismissal occurs when students fail

to maintain satisfactory progress toward theattainment of their graduate degrees or certifica-tions. Students accumulating more than 6 s.h. ofC+ or below or earning a cumulative GPA of lessthan 3.0 after taking 12 graduate credits or morewill be subject to academic dismissal. Such dis-missal will generally, but not always, take place atthe end of the academic year, whether or not thestudent is currently registered for courses.Students so dismissed may not register for anyadditional graduate courses at Rowan Universityeither as matriculated or non-matriculated stu-dents. Students who do register will have theirregistrations withdrawn by the Registrar. Studentswho have been dismissed may seek readmissionthrough the Office of The Graduate School afterone academic year. Students who are dismissedforfeit grants, graduate assistantships, and/orscholarship aid that may be in effect at the time.Students who are academically dismissed havethe right to appeal through the dismissal appealprocess of The Graduate School.

Class AttendanceStudents are expected to be present at each

scheduled class for which they are officially regis-tered. Rowans community of learners can be real-ized only when teachers and learners interact inways deemed appropriate for any particular class.Because Rowan recognizes diversity in both teach-ing and learning styles and even course design anddelivery rules may vary with the learning experi-ence, e.g., online or distance learning courses.

Faculty establish the parameters of a particularlearning experience and are expected to maintainthe efficiency of the community and to keep accu-rate attendance records. Faculty are also expectedto counsel students who develop a pattern ofexcessive and unexplained absences, and torequest assistance from the dean of students if thepattern of absences continues.

Students who are absent for reasons of illness,death in the family, inclement weather, religiousobservances, official university activities or formatters of personal conscience should inform eachof their instructors, ideally with a written excuse,before the fact or as soon as possible thereafter.Except in cases where classroom experience can

not be repeated, faculty may provide these stu-dents the opportunity to make up written work,tests or other assignments at the earliest possibleconvenient time.

In any event, faculty are under no obligation tomake special provisions for students absent forreasons other than those listed above.

Faculty may establish additional attendance cri-teria which are consistent with the above para-graphs. In learning communities, where atten-dance is critical to the functioning of the group, therationale and justification for additional atten-dance requirements must be part of the syllabusprovided for students prior to the end of thedrop/add period.

Audit PolicyStudents who wish to attend classes in a par-

ticular course and not receive credit may do so byregistering for the course as an auditor. Auditorsmust register on the last day of the late registra-tion/drop-add period after all students who wish totake the course for credit have had the opportunityto register. Auditors may choose whether or not todo the normally required course work; likewise,instructors may choose whether or not to formallyevaluate auditors’ work. Auditors receive neithergrade nor credit for any course. Courses designat-ed “AU” (audit) on students’ transcripts do notcount in defining full-time/part-time status, finan-cial aid or veterans’ benefits, or degree require-ments. Students are not permitted to audit privatelessons for credit in the Department of Music,internships, student teaching, independent study,or other experiential courses, or courses with man-dated academic prerequisites. Tuition for coursestaken under the audit designation is established bythe University’s Board of Trustees.

Withdrawal SystemRegistration in a given Rowan University course

implies the student’s obligation to complete itsrequirements. Provisions for withdrawal are madefor special circumstances. Except in extreme cir-cumstances when the department chair and thedean of a particular college allow, students are notpermitted to withdraw from the same course morethan two (2) times.

The notation of W, withdrawal, is not a grade.The notation of W is made by the Registrar on thebasis of information supplied by the student.

THE GRADUATE SCHOOL

17

Students should follow the regulations statedbelow in order to receive the notation of W.

a. To drop a course during the drop/add periodonly, students must secure a “Drop/Add” Formfrom the Registrar’s Office. When students with-draw from a course during the drop/add period,neither the course nor the drop will be recordedon the transcript.

b. To withdraw from a course between thedrop/add period and mid-semester, studentsmust secure a “Withdrawal from CourseRequest Form A” from the Registrar’s Office.The reason for the request may be stated on theform and must be signed by both the studentand the course professor, who must note thestudent’s last date of attendance in class on theform. Upon receipt of the signed “Withdrawalfrom Course Request Form A,” the Registrar’sOffice will enter a W on the official transcript.

c. To withdraw after mid-semester, the sameprocess as stated in item “b” above will prevail,except that the reason(s) for the request must bestated and approval must be obtained from theprofessor and respective department chairper-son. If the approval is granted, the professorwill indicate that the student is withdrawing witha passing grade (WP) or withdrawing with afailing grade (WF). The professor will also notethe student’s last date of attendance in class onthe form. Upon receipt of the properly approvedform, the Registrar’s Office will enter a WP orWF on the official transcript.

d. Withdrawals during the last four weeks of thesemester are considered exceptional and mayoccur only with the approval of the professor,department chairperson and dean and only forgood and sufficient reasons beyond the controlof the student. (WP/WF remains in effect.)

Repeating a CourseIn the event that a student must or voluntarily

chooses to repeat a course, the grade received forthe repeated course will constitute the final gradefor that subject for cumulative G.P.A. purposes—whether the grade is higher or lower than thegrade received in the original course. The originalgrade, although not counted in the cumulativeG.P.A., remains on the student’s transcript. It is theresponsibility of the student to notify the

Registrar’s Office when a course is repeated. TheG.P.A. is not changed without this notice. TheUniversity stipulates that the same course may notbe taken more than twice including withdrawals.However, except for general education courses,further restrictions may be determined by the indi-vidual departments/ colleges, only to meet stan-dards recommended by accrediting bodies, statu-tory regulations, and/or professional societies.Appeals may be made through the normal appealsprocess.

Senior PrivilegeSeniors at Rowan University who have earned a

3.0 GPA may request permission from TheGraduate School dean to register for one graduatelevel course per semester. The total number ofgraduate credits taken shall not exceed 6 semesterhours. Students may take a graduate course forapplication to either an undergraduate or a gradu-ate degree, but may not apply the course to both.For a student to enroll in a graduate course, rec-ommendations are required from both the stu-dent’s undergraduate program advisor and thechairperson of the department(s) in which thegraduate course(s) is/are housed. Furthermore,final approval for exceptions to the policy mustalso be obtained from the dean of The GraduateSchool.

Requirements for a Graduate Degree and/or Certificate

The requirements for successful completion ofeach degree and/or certificate program differ;however, there are specific requirements that arecommon to all graduate programs:

1. A maximum of nine semester hours in graduatecredit from another accredited U.S. college oruniversity may be applied toward the requiredprogram credits, provided the grade for eachcourse is at least a B (3.0) and has been earnedwithin the last 10 years. Students must com-plete a form in The Graduate School Officerequesting the transfer of credits from anotherinstitution. This form and an official transcriptof the course(s) should be submitted to TheGraduate School for processing. The transfer ofcourses must be approved by the student’s pro-gram advisor, the department chair, the appro-priate college dean, and the dean of TheGraduate School.


18

Transfer courses may be accepted within thefollowing provisions:

a. Transfer courses from accredited U.S. insti-tutions of higher education may be accept-ed as free electives.

b. If the student requests that the transfercourse be used as a program requirement,the department offering the RowanUniversity course for which the transfercourse would be substituted and the pro-gram advisor will review the coursedescription and will recommend action tothe department chair, the appropriate col-lege dean, and The Graduate School deanfor final approval.

2. In order for Rowan University to recommend tothe New Jersey Department of Education that acertification be awarded after completion of aprogram of studies, the student must have suc-cessfully completed a minimum of 15 semesterhours or two-thirds of the program’s semesterhour requirements (whichever is appropriate) inresidence at Rowan University.

3. In very rare and compelling instances beyondthe control of the student, it may be possible toapply a selected upper level (junior/senior)undergraduate course to the requirements of thegraduate degree or certification program.Students who wish to request this alternativemust do so in writing to their respective gradu-ate program and academic advisors. Approvalmust be granted by the advisor(s), departmentchair, appropriate college dean, and TheGraduate School dean. Students may notrequest permission to apply more than 3 creditsof such undergraduate courses to their degreeor certification programs. The undergraduatecourse may only be taken after a student hassuccessfully matriculated into a graduate pro-gram and after written approval as describedabove has been obtained.

4. A cumulative grade point average of 3.000 mustbe maintained for graduate work involved in theprogram course requirements. To maintain sat-isfactory academic progress, students may earnno more than six semester hours in courseswith grades of C+ or below. Grades of C- andbelow do not meet the requirements for gradu-

ate credit and will not be applied to the creditsnecessary in graduate degree programs.Students must earn at least a B average (3.000GPA) to receive any graduate degree or recom-mendation for certification. Students who fail tomaintain satisfactory academic progress aresubject to academic warning and/or dismissal.For information on the University’s academicwarning and dismissal policies, readers arereferred to the appropriate section in the catalogentitled “Academic Policies.” (p xx).

5. The master’s degree or the advanced certifica-tion program must be completed within six aca-demic years following the first enrollment as amatriculated student in graduate courses atRowan University. Students who do not main-tain continuous enrollment within limits pre-scribed by University policy may be involuntari-ly withdrawn from the University. In rare andcompelling instances, an extension of up to oneyear may be requested by a degree candidate tocomplete his/her program. This request may begranted only once upon approval by the pro-gram advisor and dean of The Graduate School.

6. Most programs require that a student present awritten project as one of the requirements forthe degree. The project must have academicsignificance and must be completed under theguidance of the student’s program advisor orsomeone officially designated by the advisor.The project, as a general rule, will be in the stu-dent’s area of specialization in the graduate pro-gram. Typically, it will be completed as part ofthe requirement of a seminar in the field of spe-cialization. The project must show evidence thatthe student:

a. understands the essentials of a researchproblem

b. proceeds independently with a well organ-ized plan of work

c. demonstrates reasonable familiarity in han-dling the research methods involved in theproject

d. demonstrates reasonable facility in writingand interpreting the material, and

e. demonstrates skill in relating findings andconclusions to professional needs.

THE GRADUATE SCHOOL

7. A final written comprehensive examination isrequired of candidates for the master’s degree,with the exception of the Master in BusinessAdministration, the Master of Science inTeaching, and the Master of Science inEngineering.The examination is normallyadministered twice a year with a minimum ofthree months between the scheduling of theexaminations. Prospective graduates may repeatthe examination once. Exceptions to this mustbe approved by the program advisor, departmen-tal chair, appropriate college dean and dean ofThe Graduate School. The examination shall beprepared, reviewed and the results evaluated bythe student’s graduate program committee. Thecommittee shall also develop a system of identi-fication that ensures the anonymity of the stu-dent until the examination evaluators have com-pleted the assessment of the total examination.

The examination committee will prepare written,predetermined criteria for success in the exami-nation. Upon request of the program advisor,these criteria may be distributed, in writing, tothe student when the student applies to take theexamination. Students will make application tothe program advisor to schedule the examination.

Comprehensive examinations are usuallyscheduled in the fall (October-November) and inthe spring (March-April). The specific schedule,within this framework, will be available inadvance from the program advisor and TheGraduate School. Nevertheless, it is the soleresponsibility of the student to schedule thecomprehensive examination with his/her advi-sor. In exceptional circumstances the studentmay be scheduled for the examination in thesummer upon the recommendation of the pro-gram advisor and the approval of the dean ofThe Graduate School.

8. Each candidate for the master’s degree isrequired to enroll in at least two sequentialsemesters in which the student must demon-strate the ability to engage in sustained and in-depth study. For the purpose of this require-ment, a summer session may be counted as asemester. The seminar and research courses,with the approval of the program advisor, mayfulfill this requirement.

Seminar and Research(Master of Arts and Master of Sciencein Teaching)

Only fully matriculated students may register forresearch seminar courses. Approval by the pro-gram advisor is required before a student may reg-ister for any specialization research seminar andinternship. Registration in these courses requires agrade point average of 3.000 in the basic profes-sional and specialization courses. The student maybe required to successfully complete the course,0824.501 Procedures and Evaluation in Research,as a prerequisite for registration in the seminarand research courses. Although the structure ofthe seminar and research component may vary forthe various curricula, each curriculum includes thestudy of research methods and findings and thedesigning and conducting of research.

Where the grade of NC has been recorded froma previous enrollment in the graduate seminarbecause the student did not complete the master’sproject, the student should register for the appro-priate number of credit hours in “ResearchSeminar (R)” during a regular term or a summerterm. Approval to register for Research Seminar (R)must be obtained from the dean of The GraduateSchool.

The written research project must be preparedin the format style of the American PsychologicalAssociation unless approved for an alternate styleby the program advisor and the dean of TheGraduate School.

Graduate Credit by ExaminationExaminations for academic credits in lieu of reg-

ular class enrollment are very rare and are avail-able to graduate students at Rowan University onlyunder the following conditions:

1. Each department and the program advisor willdetermine which of the department’s courses, ifany, might be completed for credit by examina-tion.

2. Students who wish to exercise the credit-by-examination option, if it is available, must reg-ister and pay all tuition and fees for the course.Examinations will be administered only once.Students who pass the examination will begiven a grade of “P” (Pass). Students who do


20

not pass the examination must be given a gradeof “NC” (No Credit). Students who receive agrade of “NC” may register and re-take thecourse if they wish. However, under no circum-stances may students request to exercise thecredit-by-examination option more than onceper course.

3. Examinations will be developed by those facultyusually teaching the subject matter, but must beapproved by a majority of the members of thedepartment. Upon the approval of the depart-ment, the program advisor, in consultation withthe department chair, should inform the appro-priate dean of those courses for which testshave been developed and which may be usedfor credit by examination. Questions regardingcourses that may be available for credit byexamination should be directed to The GraduateSchool.There should be on file in the depart-ment more than one form of each examinationfor those courses which the department hasapproved for credit by examination.

4. The examination should be comprehensiveenough to satisfy the faculty of the departmentand the University that academic standards aremaintained. The examination may be written,oral or performance based; but, in any case, itshould be evaluated by at least two members ofthe department who teach graduate courses, atleast one of whom has taught the course forwhich the examination has been prepared.

5. Each program advisor will keep proper recordsof all examinations for credit and forward asummary of results to The Graduate School.

6. A method of periodic review of the effectivenessof examination for credit will be established bythe Graduate Council in accordance with pre-vailing policies and procedures.

7. Students may apply to the degree or certifica-tion program a maximum of six (6) semesterhours through the credit by examinationprocess.

8. The University will establish appropriate fees forcredit by examination.

9. The Graduate School, in accordance with pre-vailing policies and procedures, will establishdates on which tests may be administered.

Term BillsThe Bursar’s Office is responsible for the billing

of students and for the collection of payments. Astatement of expenses for the fall semester will bemailed by August 1. A similar statement is usuallymailed on or about November 15 for the springsemester.

All charges must be paid in full each semesteron or before the date stipulated in the statement ofexpenses given each student. Students who do notpay their bills will be withdrawn from classes inaccordance with the University policy on outstand-ing financial obligations. Credit may be extendedto students engaged in negotiations concerningstate scholarships, loans, or grants. Questionsregarding university expenses should be discussedwith personnel in the Bursar’s Office (256-4150).

Checks in payment of all charges should bemade payable to Rowan University.

Payment may also be made with AmericanExpress, MasterCard and Visa. Detailed informa-tion on use of these credit cards is available to stu-dents prior to the beginning of each semester.Tuition and fees, regulated by the RowanUniversity Board of Trustees, are subject to changewithout notice to individual students.

In many instances, students who request cours-es will not receive such courses because they mayhave been cancelled or closed because requestshave exceeded seat capacity. When this occurs,charges for these courses will not appear on theterm bill. Students whose requests for courses arenot accepted may register for alternative coursesduring the schedule adjustment period or at in-per-son registration.

Outstanding Financial ObligationsThe University may deny a student graduation,

readmission, registration, or records because ofoutstanding financial obligations to the University.This action may be taken in cases where reason-able notice of a debt and the consequences of non-payment have been given to the student. If a stu-dent does not meet his/her outstanding obliga-tions by the established deadlines under the poli-cy, the student will automatically be denied regis-tration for the following semester, in addition tolosing all other university services.

Ed.D., Educational LeadershipJames Coaxum, Program AdvisorRobinson [email protected]

Change is an inevitable. One does not debatewhether change will take place; rather one won-ders who will control it and pace it. In public schooldistricts and other educational institutions, this isthe challenge of the 21st century educationalleader. Our vision, there fore, is to create a net-work of leaders who will facilitate profound andmeaningful change for education, especially in ourregion.

Our mission is to offer a doctoral program thatprepares leaders at all levels, and in various edu-cational settings. The program focuses on a clear-ly articulated study of leadership, organizations,policy, change and research.


62

The Educational Leadership Department facultyis dedicated to offering a rigorous course of studythat will provide students with an opportunity todevelop into successful field practitioners. This willhappen when students become immersed in the lit-erature and research of leadership and education.Our expectation is that students will achieve this byactively participating in a learning community thatcontinually assesses scholarly research and its rela-tionship to transcending educational institutionsthrough the practice of leadership.

The Educational Leadership doctoral programprovides opportunities for students to acquire andconstruct knowledge that enhances their ability totransform educational institutions to meet thechallenging needs of an ever-changing society.This is achieved by educating students to compre-hend and evaluate professional literature andresearch. In addition, they learn how to translatethe research theory into practice.

Goals for Acquiring Future LeadershipSuccess

In light of the aforementioned vision, the goalsof the Ed.D. program in educational leadership areas follows:

1. To provide doctoral candidates with opportu-nities to acquire the knowledge and skills inleadership, organization, policy, change andresearch necessary to be effective education-al leaders.

2. To provide doctoral candidates with opportu-nities to demonstrate ability as educationalleaders to evaluate data and determine theneeds of educational organizations, formulatesolutions, implement plans to bring aboutneeded changes and evaluate resultingprocesses and solutions.

3. To establish a network of doctoral graduatesthat exercise a meaningful force on theimprovement of education throughout a vari-ety of communities in the region including butnot limited to public and private school sys-tems, higher education institutions, govern-ment agencies, private sector educationalorganizations and education within businessand industry.

Anticipated Outcomes of the Ed.D.Program in Educational Leadership

Successful candidates will be able to:

1. understand leadership theory and its relation-ship to leadership practice as demonstratedby increasingly sophisticated knowledge andapplication of leadership practices as theyproceed through the program;

2. apply leadership theory and contextual knowl-edge in order to identify and respond to prob-lems in educational settings;

3. demonstrate analytical and communicationskills necessary for successful leaders to fos-ter and sustain excellence in educational set-tings;

4. demonstrate the ability to critically evaluatevarious literatures relating to leadership prac-tice and to design and implement researchprojects in educational settings;

5. investigate alternatives and make leadershipdecisions in educational settings, based onprofessional research and literature;

6. implement and sustain profound change ineducational settings.

Students will receive a comprehen-sive background in the psychological theories,empirical research findings, counseling skills, andtreatment approaches necessary for the effectivedelivery of services in a variety of mental healthsettings. The program places a particular emphasisupon developing strong skills in differential diag-nosis, the ability to conceptualize treatment plansand the use of empirically supported treatmentapproaches. Students are also required to com-plete at least 600 hours of supervised practice in amental health setting.

This program prepares students to become men-tal health counselors and provides the course worknecessary to apply for certification as a LicensedProfessional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey and cer-tification by the National Board of CertifiedCounselors (NBCC). However, completion of themasters’ program course work is only one part of therequirements for the LPC and NBCC certifications.Specifically, the masters program consists of 48credit hours with12 hours of post-masters’ creditsavailable. Combining the 48 credits within the mas-ters program with the 12 credits of post-masters’certification provides the 60 credits of graduate workrequired for the LPC and NBCC certification.

In addition to meeting the University requirements,this program requires completion of 12 s.h. of under-graduate psychology including at least one statisticsand research methods course and one course inabnormal psychology. Some experience within amental health setting is also strongly encouraged(e.g., field experience, volunteer work, employment).
