research at the Laboratory; fellowships are available. Visiting investigators from Florida's State University Systems and elsewhere are encouraged. The Laboratory's program is coordinated with similar ones in the region through the North Florida Association for Experimental Marine Biology. For further information, contact the Scientific Direc- tor, C. V. Whitney Laboratory, Route 1, Box 121, St. Augustine 32084. Biophysics and bioengineering are interdisciplinary areas which bring the concepts and methods of the basic and applied physical sciences to bear upon biological problems. Students may elect one or another of these programs depending upon their backgrounds, the extent of their interest and abilities in physical sciences, and their concern with and competence in development of new physics or engineering for use in biology. One program is conducted under the supervision of the Biophysics Council, which includes representatives from the Colleges of Agriculture, Liberal Arts and Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. Several depart- ments offer biophysics options at the graduate level. A student interested in such an option must qualify for graduate study in a department and satisfy the advanced degree requirements established by the departmental faculty. The Biophysics Council may then provide indi- vidual guidance in curricular matters. For information on this program, write to the representative of the Biophysics Council in one of the following departments: Biochemis- try and Molecular Biology, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Electrical Engineering, Entomology and Nematology, Materials Science and Engineering, Micro- biology and Cell Science, and Zoology. The Council representative in Physics should be consulted for advice on courses and seminars in biological physics. The Departments of Chemical and Electrical Engineer- ing offer master's and doctoral study concentrations in biochemical and biomedical engineering, respectively; and advanced .study and research in biomaterials is available in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. Write to the department concerned for further information. A specialization in biological physics is available within the Department of Physics. Students in this option must qualify for admission to graduate studies in 'physics and satisfy all of the requirements for a regular advanced degree in the department. In addition these students must prepare themselves in organic and physical chemistry and general biology, to the extent that they can study and demonstrate knowledgeability in molecular biology, cytology, and physiology. Research studies are generally conducted in collaboration with scientists in biological or medical fields on this campus or elsewhere. Doctoral candidates must contribute to new knowledge in both physics and biology, and demonstrate ability to select for themselves significant new problems in biology. This program is monitored by the graduate faculty in physics and by two interdisciplinary advisory committees; of the latter two, one is comprised of members from pertinent physical and biological disciplines on this campus, and the other of bioscientists from outside the University. For further information write to the Biological Physics Pro- gram, Department of Physics. Attention should also be given to the specializations of the Center for Sensory Studies, as described in the sec- tion on Interdisciplinary Research Centers, since that 'Center includes other biophysical programs. SPECIAL FACILITIES AND PROGRAMS / 31 THE CENTER FOR ALLIED HEALTH INSTRUCTIONAL PERSONNEL The Center (CAHIP) is a project jointly sponsored by the Colleges of Education and Health Related Professions and was originally funded under the terms of a grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. Persons who desire to enroll in graduate programs for the master's or doctoral degree as preparation for careers in teaching or administration in the allied health profes- sions should possess (a) a baccalaureate degree, (b) credentials acceptable for admission to the Graduate School of the University of Florida, and (c) a stated plan for teaching or leadership positions in the allied health fields in two-year or four-year colleges or universities. Students accepted for admission to any advanced degree program will fulfill the basic requirements of that program and such other courses of study relating to allied health as may be appropriate for their stated goals. Each individual's program is planned, insofar as possible, according to these objectives. Applicants who desire to assume teaching responsi- bilities should have a minimum two years' employment experience in a.clinical field and should possess appro- priate licensure, registration, or certification in that field. Those who have had no previous teaching experience will be required to complete a two-semester teaching practicum. Examples of a few of the clinical fields from which students will be considered (but not limited to) include medical technology, nursing, occupational therapy, physical therapy, radiologic technology, respira- tory therapy technology, cardiovascular technology, medical records technology, dental hygiene technology, dentist, dental laboratory technology and physicians' assisting. Requests for further information should be sent to the Director, Center for Allied Health Instructional Person- nel, ILS Department, College of Education. CHEMICAL PHYSICS PROGRAM The Chemical Physics Program, with'the participation of the faculty of the Departments of Chemistry, Physics, and Chemical Engineering, is concerned with graduate education and research in the theoretical, experimental, and computational aspects of problems in the borderline between chemistry and physics. Graduate students join one of the above departments and follow a special cur- riculum. The student receives, in addition to the Ph.D. degree, a Certificate in Chemical Physics issued by the Graduate School. ENGINEERING: STATE CENTER The College of Engineering has established an off- campus graduate engineering education center at Eglin Air Force Base where qualified personnel may enroll in courses leading to the master's degree. For admission to the graduate program, the prospective student must file an application with the Graduate School as outlined in the Admissions section of this Catalog. For additional information, visit the Eglin Air Force Base, or write the Dean, College of Engineering, Univer- sity of Florida.
