UM to Offer Undergraduate Program In Marine Science Starting in Fall
In response to the increased awareness in the United States and Latin America of the importance of ocean resources, the University of Miami will offer undergraduate degrees in marine science starting with the 1977 fall semester.
Dr. Clyde J. Wingfield, provost and executive vice president for academic affairs, announced that the undergraduate program is being offered jointly by the University’s Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS) and the College of Arts and Sciences.
The Rosenstiel School, a leading oceanographic institution, attracts
students and faculty throughout the world and conducts research in marine science.
Dr. William W. Hay, dean of the Rosenstiel School, said that the Bachelor of Science degree will permit students to obtain double majors in marine science coupled with biology, geology, physics or chemistry. Students who earn this degree will be well qualified for graduate work in science, or for positions in state, federal, or private-sector agencies dealing with the marine environment.
The Bachelor of Arts with a marine science major will be offered as a liberal study and for students interested in non-
scientific professional activities in law, business, or government that will require a knowledge of marine affairs.
Undergraduate work will include operations in the Gulf Stream and the coastal waters of South Florida for all majors, a summer field course in the Florida Keys for marine science biology majors, and a summer field camp in Guatemala for marine science geology majors.
Some 120 faculty members of the Rosenstiel School and the College of Arts and Sciences will participate. Coordinator of the program is Dr. Cesare Emiliani, chairman of the geology department and
professor of geology and of marine geology and geophysics. Associate coordinator is Dr. Donald P. de Sylva, associate professor of biology and living resources at RSMAS.
The program can accommodate up to 250 entering freshmen, Dr. Hay said.
Dr. Wingfield stated that the University is well known for its graduate program in marine and atmospheric science and for its strengths in the sciences generally. “We are confident that the superior faculties and facilities of the new marine science program will attract additional outstanding undergraduate students to the University,” he said.

A new Master of Architecture degree has been approved by the executive committee of the UM Board of Trustees. Announcement was made by Dr. Clyde J. Wingfield, provost and executive vice president for academic affairs.
The new program will be research oriented and academic in nature—a ‘ ‘post-professional preparation” experience involving two years of study, 44 credit hours including a thesis. Applicants will be accepted for admission in the fall semester.
Dr. Basil Honikman, chairman of the department of architecture, architectural engineering and planning in the UM School
The executive committee of the Board of Trustees has approved the allocation of $250,000 to be used this fall for 125 scholarship awards of $2,000 each for students in the top 10 per cent of their high school graduating classes.
To be eligible for consideration, applicants must also score a minimum of 1,200 on the combined Scholastic Aptitude Tests (SAT) and must be applying for full time study.
Should applicants need additional assistance in meeting the University’s $3,300 annual tuition fee, other aid may be available through the Office of Student Financial Aid, according to Dr. William R. Butler, vice president for student affairs.
Renewals of the awards for subsequent years will be made on the basis of the students maintaining a 3.2 grade point
of Engineering and Environmental Design, said, “The department believes that in these times of severe competition for rewarding employment in architecture, students holding the new degree will enjoy increased marketability. ’ ’
The program will enable qualified students to focus on their chosen direction for study and research. “The challenges of future careers and leadership in the competitive field of architecture require advanced study and graduate experience,” Dr. Honikman said.
The new program will be open only to students who have demonstrated high levels of scholarship, the chairman added. “Part of the purpose of the program will be the development of new knowledge
average (A= 4) in full time study. The awards will be renewable each year until completion of the baccalaureate degree requirements.
Interested graduating seniors should

about our city and the quality of its life. This is seen as an essential ingredient in the service the University renders its surrounding community.
“The energy crisis, environmental concerns and issues of liveability and quality of life are making a radical impact on architecture as a discipline and a profession. These areas of study and research can only be addressed in a post-professional graduate program.”
The department recently surveyed the students currently enrolled in the Bachelor of Architecture professional program. One hundred fifty-seven of 500-plus students indicated their interest to proceed towards a Master of Architecture degree.
