other college degree requirements (e.g., foreign language, basic distribution, electives, etc.) must be met. The student must also take at least 7 cred- it hours of IDS 4906 (or equivalent courses) under the direction of one or both of the supervisory faculty members and produce a senior thesis. Baccalaureate honors, high honors, or high- est honors are also available to individual inter- disciplinary majors. Requirements are the same as for departmental majors, with the additional provision that honors must be recommended by two members of the student's supervisory com- mittee (including the principal supervisor), who will affirm that the student conducted an indi- vidual project in IDS 4906 (or equivalent) of high quality which reflects the interdisciplinary nature of the program. Planning for an individual interdisciplinary program should be initiated no later than the beginning of the junior year. Late application may result in the denial of admission to the pro- gram. Students interested in pursuing an inter- disciplinary major should contact the college office, 2121 Turlington (392-6800). The following half-dozen examples show how interdisciplinary programs have been developed as a result of recent student interest. Biochemistry and Molecular Biology This program offers applicants with a good background in basic chemistry and biology advanced-level work including 1) course work required by the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology; 2) research in biochemistry; and 3) other elective courses selected from offer- ings by the departments of Biochemistry, Botany, Chemistry, Microbiology, Neuroscience, Pharmacology, Psychology, and Zoology. Graduates of this program will have excel- lent backgrounds for research in a variety of the basic medical sciences and would be well quali- fied for a variety of graduate and medical school programs. For further information about the biochem- istry program, see the departmental course list- ings (refer to Index). Questions about the program may be directed to Dr. Robert Cohen, ARB, RG-183B, UF Health Science Center (392- 4050). Biological Illustration This program is designed to provide a broad program in biological illustration to students preparing to work with museums; botany, zool- ogy, entomology, anthropology or medical departments of universities; botanical gardens or research organizations. Enrollment in this major is restricted because of the tutorial nature of much of the instruction. The program can admit only a few well-qualified students each year. Contact Dr. Ronald Wolff, 411 Carr Hall (392-1298) for further information. Cell and Developmental Biology This program is intended to provide an opportunity for students interested in cell and developmental biology to conduct creative and independent research in the following areas: intracellular transport and localization, cell interactions in development, intercellular adhe- sion, extracellular matrix, secretion, cytoskele- ton, postranslational modifications of proteins, cell surface recognition, endocytosis, regulation of water transport and reproductive biology. For information on the program and required courses, contact Dr. Gudron S. Bennett, Depart- ment of Anatomy and Cell Biology, MG46, UF Health Science Center (392-8077). Film Studies The Interdisciplinary BA in Film Studies is intended for students seeking a liberal arts approach to audio-visual studies, including work in criticism, theory and history of film and video media along with some basic production experience. As an individually designed major, the program is adaptable to a broad range of media applications, including experimental, documentary or scientific concentrations, as well as mainstream popular culture. For further information on this program contact Dr. Robert Ray, English Department, 4008 Turlington Hall (392-0777). International Studies Through an Interdisciplinary Studies major undergraduate students in the College of Liber- al Arts and Sciences are able to design a concen- tration in International Studies that allows a focus on international issues or area of the world ranging from Europe to Africa and Latin America. Students draw on appropriate disci- plines such as history, geography, modern lan- guages, economics and political science to design the core of a major culminating in a the- sis. Through such experience students acquire a thorough knowledge of cultural, economic, political and social interrelationships. This pro- gram also requires oral proficiency in one for- eign language and basic knowledge of a second. In planning their major students are especially encouraged to take advantage of UF study abroad programs. For further information about this program, contact Dr. Halina Stephan, Department of Ger- man, 263 Dauer (392-2101) or Dr. Keith Legg, Honors Office, 352 Little Hall (392-1519). Neurobiological Sciences This major offers students the opportunity to learn about the characteristics and functions of the nervous system. A recommended core of courses ensures that students acquire a back- ground in basic sciences, biology, and brain sci- ence. Both upper-division elective classes and completion of an independent research project, supervised by one of the 45 faculty within the campus-wide Center for Neurobiological Sci- ences, allow students to specialize in areas) of particular interest to them. These areas include, but are not limited to, neurochemistry, neuro- physiology, neuroembryology, neuroplasticity, and brain/behavior relations. Many graduates of this program have con- tinued their study in neural sciences, including graduate school, professional school in health sciences, and the pharmaceutical industry. For further information about this program, contact Dr. Donald J. Stehouwer, Department of LIBERAL ARTS AND SCIENCES Psychology, 322 Psychology Building (392- 6638). Women's Studies The Women's Studies Program at the Uni- versity of Florida is an interdisciplinary forum for the study of gender, its function in cultures and societies, and its intersection with race and class. The program has a faculty of internation- ally recognized scholars in a variety of disci- plines. It employs feminist and other theoretical approaches and methodologies. A major in Women's Studies may be arranged through the College's Interdisciplinary Program. In addition to College of Liberal Arts and Sciences requirements, the major requires 28 credit hours as follows: 18 credit hours of approved courses, the core course WST 3010 (3 credit hours), and 7 credit hours of thesis (IDS 4905). The thesis project should be designed in consultation with a member of the Women's Studies faculty and the program director. For further information contact the Director of Women's Studies, Dr. Helga Kraft, 8 Anderson (392-3365). OPTIONAL MINORS The minor affords a traditional, well-accept- ed way to recognize that a student has complet- ed a significant body of work outside the major field. Students may wish to follow up on long- time personal interests, to satisfy intellectual curiosity generated by introductory courses, to differentiate their individual program of study from those of fellow students, or to enhance their opportunities for employment or for admission to graduate or professional schools. The following minors are currently available in this college: Actuarial Science French African Studies Geography American Studies Latin American Anthropology Studies Asian Studies Linguistics Astronomy Mathematics Botany Philosophy Chemistry Physics Classical Studies Portuguese Communications Religion Sciences and Disorders Russian Criminal Justice Sociology East Asian Languages Spanish and Literatures Statistics Economics Women's Studies English Zoology College Requirements for Minors Students may obtain the minor program requirements from individual departments or in 358 Little Hall. Course requirements: A minor shall consist of no fewer than 15 semester hours of course work, earned with a grade of C or better, in a recognized discipline or specialty outside the major department. At least three courses (none of which may be individual work) of no fewer than three credits each must be at the junior level or higher (3000-level or above). Of the total
