Food science and nutrition is a multidisciplinary program which applies scientific concepts to the understanding of the properties of food. Students have the option of an emphasis in either food science or nutrition. The food science emphasis is concerned with the application of the physical, biological, and allied sciences to the processing, preservation, packaging, storage, evaluation, and utilization of foods. The nutrition emphasis addresses the biological role of nutrients with applications in wellness and human performance rather than clinical nutrition or dietetics. Nutrition is also integrated with other aspects of food science, including processing and storage effects. In addition, several certificate programs are offered for students wanting foundation training in food science and nutrition to senhance career opportunities.

Admission to the Program and Prerequisites Admission to the program may be achieved by completing the following requirements: 1. Hold a baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited institution. Students with a B. A. or B. S. degree with a major in any of the physical or biological sciences will generally have the necessary prerequisites in chemistry, biology, and mathematics. Students with an inadequate background will be required to take prerequisite subjects without credit toward their graduate degree. Prerequisite courses must be completed within the first year of enrollment.

2. Have achieved the required admission grade point average as specified in the Admission section. Applicants with a grade point average between 2.50 and 2.99 are required to submit passing scores from the Graduate Record Examination. Applicants must achieve a minimum score of 900 on the General Test (highest two scores achieved out of three subsections) or score at the 60th percentile on any one of the Graduate Subject Tests.

Advancement to Candidacy Students must apply for advancement to candidacy after regular admission is granted, completion of program prerequisites, and successful completion of 12 credits in the program.

Specific Requirements for the Degree 1. Courses Thirty-nine semester credits in food science and nutrition and related courses must be completed. Graduate Seminar (Fsn 596) and Research Methodology (Fsn 660) are required of all students.

The 128-credit program consists of both didactic and clinical courses, which include all content areas required by the State of California for Board of Medical Quality Assurance licensure and for American Physical Therapy Association accreditation. The program is the oldest ongoing physical therapy education program in the country. The DPT curriculum is designed to prepare the general physical therapist.

Guaranteed Admission
Any student at with a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited college or university is guaranteed admission to the Physical Therapy program if the student has a 3.5 GPA or better in both the prerequisite courses and last 60 graded semester credits, of which 31 credits must be upper division. All additional current admission criteria must be fulfilled. Any student who fails to meet this GPA standard can apply with other candidates to the Physical Therapy Program.

Fast Track Admission
Any student may apply for competitive admission to the Physical Therapy program and enter the program at the end of their junior year from a regionally accredited institution if the student has a 3.5 GPA or better in both the prerequisite courses and last 60 graded semester credits. Of the last 60 graded semester credits (or 90 quarter units), 18 credits of which must be upper-division credits. All additional current admission criteria must be fulfilled.

Regular Admission to the Program and Prerequisites
Applicants, other than fast track admission candidates, must hold a B. A. or B. S. from a regionally accredited institution by the end of June prior to the August admission. They must also have a minimum 3. 00 grade point average during the last 60 graded semester credits (or 90 quarter credits) from the baccalaureate degree. Applicants with an earned master's degree must meet this requirement. Applicants must also have taken the Graduate Records Examination (GRE) within ten years of application.

An average of up to 15 graded semester credits (22.5 quarter credits) of graduate-level courses completed at a regionally accredited institution other than Chapman may be added to the 60 semester (90 quarter) credits of baccalaureate units to calculate the admission GPA. Prerequisite courses taken post-baccalaureate may also be added to the 60 semester (90 quarter) units to calculate the overall admission GPA.

The applicant must also have a minimum GPA of 3. 0 in prerequisite courses. The following prerequisites must be completed with a grade of C or better within ten years prior to application to be considered for admission:

biology 2 courses chemistry 1 year sequence with labs physics 1 year sequence with labs psychology 2 courses human anatomy 1 course with laboratory human physiology 1 course with laboratory

The program accepts 48 students per year. Selection by the admissions committee is based on several factors, including grade point average, GRE scores, the completion of voluntary or paid work experience in physical therapy, and college or university where degree is conferred.

Scholarship
For grading policy, please refer to the Academic Policies and procedures section of this catalog and the section on "Grading" in the department handbook for physical therapy students. Students must have a 3.0 GPA to proceed to clinical internships, the first of which occurs in Semester VI of the program and then again in Semester VIII. Any student who fails a course (i. e., receives below a "C" or a no pass) in any course including a clinical internship will be reviewed by the faculty to determine if the student will be allowed to continue in the program. Issues which may make a decision for continuation more likely include factors which are beyond the control of the student and which are not likely to recur, such as personal illness or family difficulties which have required the student's attention. If the student is allowed to continue, he/ she will be required to retake the course. No future courses which require the failed course as a prerequisite can be taken until the retake is completed with a "C" or better grade. Only one retake of a failed course is allowed. Student may also retake other courses for which they receive a "C" or better grade only one additional time. In either case the new grade will be substituted for the previous grade for purposes of calculating the GPA. After semester I, pre-clinical experiences may not be taken until the student's GPA is at or above a 3.0 GPA. A student will be dismissed from the program without faculty deliberation if he/ she:

1. receives two course grades in any semester below a "C" 2. receives a grade of "F" in any course 3. has a GPAof less than 3.0 in two consecutive semesters 4. has a GPA of 2.5 or lower at the end of the first semester.

Candidate Dismissal
A student may be dismissed from the department and the university for reasons of academic performance, clinical or personal conduct. Prior to dismissal, efforts will be made by the faculty to assist with the student's area of deficiency. If such assistance does not result in improved performance to an acceptable level, the student can be dismissed from the program. This dismissal would follow the recommendation of a simple majority vote of the faculty. Academic conditions suitable for dismissal are addressed above. Clinical competency issues relevant to dismissal include, but are not limited to, unsafe practices which might endanger either the patient or the therapist. Personal conduct which warrants dismissal includes, but is not limited to, actions that are intended to berate the patients, peers, faculty or the profession. Any candidate dismissed by the department has the right to appeal the decision according to the University Student Grievance and Due Process policy. The student shall continue in the program until the appeal process is exhausted. If the decision for dismissal stands following his/ her appeal, the student will be dismissed from the department and the university.

Advancement to Candidacy
It is necessary for the student to advance to candidacy before he/ she may proceed to the clinical internships. Advancement to candidacy must be requested by the student following the completion of at least the first three semesters of course work. In addition, the student must have maintained a 3. 0 GPA in all DPT course work.

The division offers a master of arts degree in psychology with three emphases designed to provide the student with the academic and professional training necessary for a career in counseling and the human services and/ or to provide the foundation for further graduate study in psychology or one of the related disciplines. The marriage and family therapy emphasis is specifically structured to prepare students for licensure in California as marriage and family therapists and for practice in one of the human service professions.

Marriage and Family Therapy
This emphasis is the primary practice-oriented option within the master's programs of the psychology division. It provides a solid foundation for service as a marriage and family therapist meeting the education requirements for licensure in California, or certification in other states, and membership in the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists. The program includes a substantial experiential component in which the student works under the supervision of division faculty in a counseling setting, either the clinic sponsored by the division or some other approved site. Students in this emphasis complete a minimum of 54 semester units.

Counseling Emphasis
(Offered only at University College campus in Washington.) The courses in the counseling emphasis provide a solid foundation for the student wishing to pursue a career in psychologically oriented counseling at the pre-doctoral level. The counseling emphasis may be tailored to meet certification or other requirements at Academic Center locations outside California. The counseling emphasis requires a minimum of 48 semester units.

Pre-Clinical Emphasis
The pre-clinical emphasis is designed for students planning to continue directly into a doctoral program in clinical or counseling psychology or a closely related discipline. Substantial attention is devoted to the development of assessment and research skills needed in doctoral programs. This emphasis, which requires a thesis, is currently available only on the Orange campus. Students completing this emphasis will complete 36-39 semester credits.

Admission Deadlines
There are no admission deadlines. However, students are encouraged to submit their application by the following dates for full consideration and first priority: March 1 for financial aid deadline April 1 for fall (or summer) semester December 1 for spring semester Academic Center students should contact their center office.

Admission to the Program
Admission to the program may be achieved by the completion of the following requirements: 1. Hold a baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited institution. 2. Have achieved the required admission grade point average and/ or admission examination test score as specified below:

Marriage and Family Therapy Emphasis and Counseling Emphasis
Achieve an undergraduate grade point average of 3.00 or better in the last 60 graded semester credits (or 90 quarter credits) earned prior to the baccalaureate degree. Applicants with a grade point average between 2.50 and 2.99 are required to submit scores from one of the following standard admission tests:

Graduate Record Examination (GRE): achieve a minimum score of 900 on the General Test (verbal and quantitative subsections) or score at or above the 60th percentile on the Graduate Subject Test in psychology.

Millers Analogies Test (MAT): achieve a minimum raw score of 57.

Pre-Clinical Emphasis
a. Achieve an undergraduate grade point average of 3.00 or better in the last 60 graded semester credits (or 90 quarter credits) earned prior to the baccalaureate degree.

b. Take the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) General Test and achieve a combined total of at least 1050 on the verbal and quantitative sections, with no lower than a 500 on the quantitative section.

c. Students whose undergraduate major was not psychology or whose baccalaureate degree was obtained more than seven years prior to admission will also be required to obtain a minimum score or 500 on the Graduate Record Examination Subject Test in Psychology.

3. Admission is also contingent on the quality of the autobiography and letters of reference. Submit an autobiography, which must be at least three-four typed pages in length and conform to the following guidelines:

Autobiography Guidelines:
a. Include childhood, family and (if applicable) marital data and values derived from these experiences in relation to your choice of a career in counseling.

b. Incorporate two or three relevant experiences that have helped to shape your development and personality; and

c. Discuss how you arrived at this point in your career development. Include any relevant professional experience.

4. Submit three letters of reference from persons actively engaged in teaching and/ or the practice of counseling, who are in a position to evaluate the applicant's academic and personal qualifications for the program.

5. Two applications are required; one for graduate studies and one for the division of psychology. Orange campus students should send both application forms to the Graduate Admission Office. Academic Center students should send them to their Academic Center office. The application packet must be complete, including both the autobiography and letters of recommendation.

6. Note that licensing and certification agencies typically have regulations denying licensure or certification to anyone who has been convicted of a felony, most especially one which reflects an offense which would be a cause for disciplinary action if committed by one already holding the license. Please contact the licensing board in the state you plan to license for clarification of how a conviction may affect licensing. This clarification should be done before the application for admission to this program is submitted.

Course Work Program The program director or program coordinator evaluates the student's transcripts and program application materials and, if the student is qualified and approved for admission, prepares a course work program indicating the student's status at the university, any program prerequisites still to be completed, and the courses constituting the program emphasis. Any courses accepted for transfer into the program are also indicated. Questions about prerequisites, program requirements, transfer credit, etc. should be discussed and resolved with the program director at the time the course work program is received to avoid confusion later.

Advisement Students are required to meet with the Orange campus or Academic Center advisor to discuss and clarify any questions about the proposed program and career in counseling prior to beginning the program. The student should also meet with the program advisor before registering for classes each semester/ term.

Graduate Prerequisites The applicant must possess a bachelor's degree in Psychology from an accredited college or university, or must evidence satisfactory academic background in: 1. Abnormal Psychology 2. Child Psychology or Adolescent Psychology or Developmental Psychology 3. Learning Theory or Cognitive Psychology or Physiological Psychology 4. Personality Theory 5. Research Methods or Psychological Measurement 6. Statistics

Screening All graduate psychology students must arrange for a screening interview during the first semester (two terms) of study. Screening may be arranged by contacting the psychology office. Academic Center students should contact their Center office. In the screening interview, a preliminary assessment of the student's academic, intellectual and psychological readiness for a career as a counselor will be made.

Before appearing for the screening interview, all students, regardless of emphasis, must have on file a signed copy of the Ethical Standards statement. All prerequisites should be met by the time the student has completed 12 credits and/ or one semester (two terms) at Chapman. Astudent with more than half of the prerequisites to make up should concentrate on the prerequisites and delay attempting courses in the program core. The autobiography and letters of reference should be submitted at the time of initial application. Successful completion of the screening procedure is a requirement for continuation in the degree program for all graduate psychology students.

Pre-Clinical Emphasis Additionally, before appearing before the screening interview, the student in the pre-clinical emphasis must have fully qualified for admission by submitting the following:

a. qualifying scores on the GRE (1050 on the Verbal and Quantitative portions with at least 500 on the Quantitative); and, if required,

b. a GRE Psychology Test score of at least 500; c. evidence of completion of Psy 535 with a minimum grade of A-;

d. three letters of recommendation; and e. have completed all program prerequisites. At the time of the screening interview, the student should be prepared to discuss thesis ideas and plans for further graduate study.

Advancement to Candidacy (MFT Emphasis) During the semester before the student plans to begin the first practicum, he/ she should apply to the Graduate Studies Office or the University College campus for advancement to candidacy. The candidate must have satisfactorily completed or be successfully completing Psy 501, 511, 541, 556, 570, 575 and 578. At the advancement to candidacy interview, the student will meet with a faculty committee. It will be that committee's responsibility to determine whether the student is then prepared to be formally declared a candidate for a master of arts degree and to be permitted to proceed into the practicum phase of the program.

At the time of the advancement interview, each student will be provided with a vignette for which the student will discuss a diagnosis and a tentative treatment plan, which will be the foundation of the advancement interview. The treatment plan will address identification of problem, proposed intervention, ethical issues, prognosis, further assessment and any "red flags" that may need further attention.

Specifically, the functions of the Advancement to Candidacy committee are: 1. to review the student's academic status with respect to fulfilling required course work in a satisfactory manner;

2. to provide information and counsel to the student in matters pertaining to his or her academic progress and plans;

3. to ascertain whether significant gaps exist in the student's knowledge and/ or understanding of the subject field;

4. to apprise the student of any academic, professional or ethical aspects of the counseling program that may be a source of concern;

5. to assess the student's psychological readiness and personal suitability to engage in the profession of counseling; and

6. to assess the student's readiness to begin the practicum.

Ethical and Professional Standards Since the psychology graduate programs involve preparing people to work with the public, the division assumes the responsibility for reasonably assuring that individuals who complete the program are not only academically competent but are aware of and capable of functioning within the established ethical and professional standards of the profession. A student in the psychology graduate programs must adhere to the ethical standards propounded by the relevant professional associations and should understand that he/ she is being trained in a program which is not only academic, but also professional in nature.

The university has both the right and obligation to evaluate continually, and, if necessary, to terminate the student's participation in the counseling program at any point for ethical violations and/ or personal unsuitability for the profession. This philosophy is consistent with that of most psychology graduate programs which are engaged in explicitly or implicitly certifying that their graduates are competent to engage in the practice of professional counseling or psychotherapy.

It is understood, therefore, that students will be required to maintain appropriate professional, ethical and personal standards in order to continue in the program. Fac

ulty will assess each student's status in meeting these standards on a continuing basis, and students experiencing difficulties will be advised as to appropriate means of remediating such difficulties by the program director or advisor. If resolution cannot be achieved, the student will be terminated from the program. Compendia of the ethical standards are available from the American Psychological Association, the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists and the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists.

Personal Therapy (MFT Emphasis) The psychology faculty believe that participating as a client in individual or group therapy can be both a growth experience for the graduate student and a significant educational aspect of a program to prepare mental health professionals. Experience as a client in personal therapy is, therefore, one of the program requirements for the counseling and marriage and family therapy emphases. The requirement is met through a minimum of sixteen weeks of individual or group counseling conducted by a licensed marriage, family and child counselor or licensed marriage and family therapist, licensed clinical social worker, licensed clinical psychologist, board-eligible psychiatrist or mental health worker of equivalent status. Verification will consist of a letter by the therapist (on the therapist's letterhead) or an official psychotherapy form from the state in which the student is registered stating the time spent in therapy, sent directly to the Registrar's Office or University College campus. This verification must be on file at the time the student applies for graduation.

Personal therapy may at any time be required by the division for the student to continue in the program. Commencement of therapy or recommendation of additional therapy may be a stipulation or condition at the time of a student's screening or advancement to candidacy interview. The student has the right to choose his/ her own therapist for this requirement within the limitations of ethical standards prohibiting dual relationships and the criteria of the paragraph above.

Practicum The practicum application (site agreement) must be submitted at least eight weeks before the proposed starting date. The student should obtain the practicum application from the psychology office or the Academic Center office well in advance of the deadline to enable him/ her to fully comply with the requirements for the practicum and to deal with any special problems or circumstances that may affect the acceptability of the proposed practicum. Specific guidelines for the practicum are included with the application forms.

Minimum requirements for beginning a practicum include:

a. advancement to candidacy; b. a minimum of 36 completed credits of program course work; and

c. completion of site agreement.

Comprehensive Examination When the student has been advanced to candidacy and has completed at least 36 graduate credits in the counseling or the marriage and family therapy emphases with a cumulative GPAof 3.0, he/ she is eligible to take the comprehensive examination when approved by the faculty program advisor. Application deadlines are published in the catalogs and in each semester class schedule, and application forms are available at the registrar's office or Academic Center office. It should be considered, however, that with only 36 credits completed, the student may not yet have taken some academic courses, the content of which will be included in the examination.

The comprehensive examination will cover program content areas and is designed to afford the student the opportunity to demonstrate understanding of the material in an essay format. The examination is administered twice a year, in September and February. Study packets are available in the psychology office or at the University College campus. The packets contain information about the examination, study preparation ideas and an explanation of how the examination is scored. A passing score in courses does not assure the student a passing grade on the examination. In the event that the student does not attain a passing score on the examination, he/ she must repeat the entire examination. (See Academic Policies and Procedures for additional guidelines.)
