COLLEGES


Study Abroad
 Students in the College of Liberal Arts and
Sciences are encouraged to participate in the
study abroad programs administered by
the University of Florida Center for Overseas
Studies.
 UF has programs overseas for undergradu-
ates for a semester or academic year that pro-
vide students with a wide range of academic
and cultural experiences. For example, students
can learn about East Asian civilization in Japan,
study European economics in Copenhagen, live
in a kibbutz in Israel or explore Mayan ruins in
Mexico. At the same time they earn academic
credit for these and other programs.
 Studying abroad, however, is more than aca-
demic. Students establish new friendships,
become more fluent in a foreign language and
learn about the history and traditions of the
country in which they study. By immersing
themselves in a foreign culture, they expand
their understanding of people and of them-
selves. They also gain valuable experience for a
career in a variety of fields, such as education,
business or the arts.
 For more information contact Overseas
Studies at 123 Tigert (392-5206).

Honors
 Consistent with its view that higher educa-
tion should result in the development of each
student as an intellectual individual, this college
gives its students a wide selection of individual
degree programs with many electives. In addi-
tion, the college offers a variety of opportunities
for independent and seminar honors work to
those undergraduates who have demonstrated
appropriate qualifications.
 Students who become juniors (a classifica-
tion of "3") in Fall 1991 or later are eligible for
the honors designations established in the 1991-
92 and following catalogs. Students who
achieved junior status prior to Fall 1991 follow
the honors designations established in the 1990-
91 catalog.
 Superior upper division students should
take initiative in planning undergraduate and
graduate programs. They should consult the
honors coordinator in their major department
about requirements for the baccalaureate degree
with honors, high honors, or highest honors. For
graduation with honors, a student must attain a
3.5 overall upper-division average. For gradua-
tion with high honors or highest honors, the stu-
dent must fulfill an overall 3.5 upper-division
average and, in addition, submit a thesis, a
research project, or other creative work. Upon
evaluation by the department or other responsi-
ble group, the student will be recommended for
high or highest honors. One copy of the thesis
and an abstract must be delivered to the Honors
Office in Little Hall at least 3 days prior to grad-
uation.

ANDERSON SCHOLARS
 Each fall at a convocation ceremony the col-
lege honors outstanding juniors who are desig-


nated as Anderson Scholars. These students
receive either Certificates of Highest Distinction,
High Distinction or Distinction, based on main-
taining at least a 4.0, 3.9 or 3.8 overall grade
point average respectively, during their first
two years at UF.
 Anderson Scholars are named in honor of
James N. Anderson who served as the first dean
of the College of Arts and Sciences (1910-1930)
and after whom Anderson Hall is named. He
was also a Professor of Greek and Latin.

DEAN'S LIST
 At the end of each fall and spring term, the
dean recognizes outstanding academic achieve-
ment by publishing the names of students who
earn a grade point average of 3.5 on a minimum
of 15 hours, exclusive of hours taken under the
S-U option.

PHI BETA KAPPA
 Phi Beta Kappa is an honorary scholastic
society for students of high intellectual ability
with a broad liberal education. Election is by
invitation, not application. Students meeting
minimum standards are automatically consid-
ered during the term just prior to graduation
and again in the first term subsequent to gradu-
ation.
 The minimum standards for election as a
graduating senior in the College of Liberal Arts
and Sciences are a 3.65 GPA at the University of
Florida and, in case of transfer work, in all colle-
giate work attempted. Students must have com-
pleted at least 45 semester hours of graded work
in courses related to the liberal arts and sciences
at this university.
 The society is equally interested in the diver-
sity of the student's intellectual curiosity. A stu-
dent must have a sound overall record and a
liberal spread of letter-graded courses in the arts
and sciences outside the major area. The society
has established fixed criteria for computing
course spread. In evaluating the soundness of
the student's overall record, some less quantifi-
able factors are used. Strong candidates will be
above the stated minimum in either spread or
GPA. Preferably some of the required language
courses are taken for a grade. Honors and
advanced-level course work and research are
viewed favorably.
 Some students are elected to membership
early during the first term of their senior year.
These students must have at least a 3.85 GPA
and an academic record creating a strong pre-
sumption that the spread and other criteria for
election will be met by graduation.
 The society also considers for election supe-
rior students graduating from other colleges
who are recommended by their college deans
and who complete a program including a major,
recommended electives, and language compara-
ble to that required of College of Liberal Arts
and Sciences students.
 Students with questions about eligibility
requirements may contact Dr. G.H. Myers (392-
0931).


Student Council
 The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Stu-
dent Council (CLASSC) is composed of student
representatives from each of the College's
departments, as well as student representatives
with lower division classification. CLASSC is
specifically concerned with enhancing the aca-
demic environment in the college. Projects of
the Council include inviting speakers from
many disciplines and sponsoring the typing lab
found on the second floor of the J. Wayne Reitz
Union.
 CLASSC places students, by application, on
several faculty/student committees, including
the Advisory Committee on General Education,
the Advisory Committee on International Stud-
ies, the College Curriculum Committee, and the
Faculty-Student Advising Committee. Further
information is available by calling 392-1521.
