a major in international relations. For the M.A. the requirements are the same
as for the M.A. in political science. For the Ph.D. the student has the option
of offering either 1) four fields of political science and a single or composite
minor, or 2) three fields of political science (plus two graduate courses in
a fourth field) and two minor fields or a composite minor.

 DIVISION OF BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES
 The Division of Biological Sciences is organized within the College of Arts
and Sciences to provide coordination in the biological sciences. The Division,
with a staff from many disciplines, has organized faculties in cellular biology,
molecular biology, genetics, developmental biology, parasitology, marine biol-
ogy, radiation biology, and ecology. Each faculty is responsible for developing
and supervising a core program in its special area. In addition to the cross-
departmental programs, the Division serves to coordinate biological science
wherever it exists in the University. The Departments of Zoology, Botany,
Microbiology, Biochemistry, and Biological Sciences are the units composing
the Division of Biological Sciences.

 STATE CENTERS FOR GRADUATE EDUCATION IN ENGINEERING
 Recognizing its responsibilities to the industries, engineers, and residents
of Florida, the College of Engineering has established graduate engineering
education centers where qualified personnel may enroll in courses leading to
the master's degree. For admission to any of the graduate programs, the
prospective student must file an application with the Graduate School as
outlined in the Admissions Section of this Catalog. Off-campus centers are
presently located at Eglin Air Force Base and campuses participating in the
GENESYS program.
 For additional information, visit the nearest local center, or write to the
Dean, College of Engineering, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida
32601.

 GENESYS
 GENESYS is an acronym for Graduate Engineering Education System.
It consists of a closed-circuit television system, provided with a talk-back
feature for student participation, regardless of location. There are both north-
bound and southbound channels connecting the Gainesville campus with
satellite campuses at Orlando, Port Canaveral, West Palm Beach, and Florida
Atlantic University at Boca Raton. Full-scale courses are offered, and
lectures may originate and be transmitted from studios located at any of
these sites. Although primarily designed to meet the need of engineers in
industry who cannot attend courses in Gainesville, graduate students pur-
suing advanced degrees in residence in Gainesville enroll in many of these
courses. A detailed brochure on this system and its offerings may be obtained
by writing the Dean of the College of Engineering.
