Computer Science
By arrangement with the University of Washington, a student may obtain a bachelor of arts degree from Reed and a bachelor of science degree in computer science from the University of Washington. The program calls for three years at Reed, including completion of the general distribution requirements and major requirements in one department, the passing of the junior qualifying examination, the acquisition of a minimum of 22 Reed units (at least 20 of which, including the distribution requirements, must be earned at Reed), and two years at the University of Washington.

The university will admit up to five students per year on the recommendation of Reed College. Recommended students must satisfy the university's G.P.A. requirements for transfer students, which may differ from year to year and which are not necessarily the same for Washington residents and non-residents.

Computer science degrees are also available under the engineering programs described later in this section.

Course Requirements
These vary, depending upon the field of the Reed major -chemistry, mathematics, or physics. Consult the Reed dual degree coordinator for specific information. In special cases, an ad hoc program with the biology or economics department, or another department, may be approved.

Computer Science and Engineering Master of Science
This program is designed to allow an undergraduate at Reed College to fulfill simultaneously the requirements for a B.A. from Reed and an M.S. in computer science and engineering from the Oregon Graduate Institute School of Science and Engineering (OGI) in Portland. To accomplish this, the student will extend his or her matriculation to five years, shared between the two institutions.

The student interested in this program will be expected to announce an intention to apply for the joint degree program at the beginning of the junior year. This student will be expected to complete three years of work as a mathematics or physics major at Reed College including a minimum of 22 Reed units (at least 20 of which, including the distribution requirements, must be earned at Reed). At the beginning of the senior year the student will transfer to OGI to continue study in computer science and to perform research and write a thesis to satisfy the requirements of both degrees. The two degrees will be awarded concurrently.

This program will require the Reed student to prepare in core areas of computer science through certain Reed mathematics courses. Success in the M.S. program will depend both on the student's ability and motivation, and on how well he or she is prepared to undertake graduate-level coursework in computer science.

Course Requirements
Consult the Reed dual degree coordinator or the Reed web pages for details. Candidates must be recommended by a Reed faculty committee.

Engineering
By arrangement with the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), Columbia University School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, or Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, a student may obtain a bachelor's degree in engineering (alternatively, computer science or certain earth and planetary sciences) and a bachelor of arts degree from Reed. The program calls for three years at Reed, including the completion of the general college distribution requirements, major requirements in one department (excluding thesis), the passing of the junior qualifying examination, the acquisition of a minimum of 22 Reed units (at least 20 of which, including all but two units of the distribution requirement, must be earned at Reed), and two years at the engineering school. Transfer students entering these programs should expect to spend no fewer than five semesters at Reed to meet this requirement. The two degrees will be awarded concurrently; all requirements for both degrees must be met before either is awarded.

Admission to the engineering school is contingent on the college's recommendation and the student's having met certain course requirements of the engineering school while at Reed. Typical course requirements are two years of physics, one or two years of chemistry, and two years of mathematics, including differential equations. Normally, students with a G.P.A. less than 3.0 should not expect to be recommended. Admission to the specific field of engineering preferred by the student is not guaranteed; the student's academic record can be relevant.

Admission to Caltech. is not automatic upon recommendation, but is subject to review by Caltech and may depend upon factors that cannot be anticipated; financial aid is not guaranteed by Caltech to otherwise eligible students.

While admission to the other programs is also subject to review by the participating school, admission can usually be expected upon recommendation.

Course Requirements
During the freshman year:
Mathematics 111/112 or 211/212; Physics 100. Consult with the Reed dual degree coordinator for information on other required courses.

Forestry-Environmental Sciences
By arrangement with the Nicholas School of the Environment of Duke University, a student may obtain a bachelor of arts degree at Reed and a professional master's degree from Duke (master of forestry or master of environmental management). Work at Duke emphasizes three aspects of study and research in forest and other renewable natural resources: management, science, and policy. The program calls for three years at Reed, including completion of the general college distribution and major requirements (excluding thesis), passing of the junior qualifying examination, the acquisition of a minimum of 22 Reed units (at least 20 of which, including the distribution requirements, must be earned at Reed), and two years at Duke. Students in all academic majors may qualify for the program.

Course Requirements
l. Biology 101,102; Mathematics 111 or 112, and Mathematics 141; and Economics 201.
2. Successful completion of the junior qualifying exam before the end of the junior year.

Students should plan to take the Graduate Record Examination and make formal application for admission to Duke during the third year at Reed. In the summer following the third year, the student should begin work at Duke.

Additional information may be obtained from the faculty adviser for the forestry-environmental sciences program.

Pre-Medical and Pre-Veterinary
Qualified Reed students have been extremely successful in gaining admission to many of the country's top medical and veterinary schools, although there is no formal pre-medical major at Reed. The academic admission requirements of most medical schools can be met by completion of the following courses:
1. General biology: Biology 101 and 102 (with lab)
2. General chemistry: Chemistry 101 and 102
3. Organic chemistry: Chemistry 201 and 202
4. General physics: Physics 100 (with lab)
5. English or humanities: Humanities 110
6. Calculus: Mathematics 111, 112 (required by some, but not all schools)

Course prerequisites for veterinary school usually include the courses above plus additional specific courses, such as biochemistry or upper-level biology. Since there are more than 100 domestic medical schools and 30 veterinary schools, the student may encounter variation in the number and character of admission requirements. Students should be acquainted with the specific requirements and programs of the schools to which they apply.

Most medical schools do not expect students to necessarily focus their undergraduate studies in the sciences. Breadth in the humanities and the social sciences is encouraged; nonacademic factors are very important. Students considering pre-medical or pre-veterinary studies are strongly encouraged to make contact with pre-medical advisers and the career services office early in their undergraduate careers to prepare a competitive application. In addition to offering pre-medical advising, the career services office maintains a library of resources essential to the pre-medical school planning process, including the guide Preparation for Medical School at Reed, available online, which includes important timelines and health care internship information. It is strongly recommended that students take advantage of additional services by attending informational seminars, seeking assistance with the application process, and using mock interviews. Graduating students who plan to take time off before applying to medical or veterinary school should discuss their plans with a pre-medical adviser before graduation.

I. INSTRUCTIONAL FACULTY AND CLASS SIZE

I-1. Please report the number of instructional faculty members in each category for Fall 2004. Include faculty who are on your institution's payroll on the census date your institution uses for IPEDS/AAUP.

The following definition of instructional faculty is used by the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) in its annual Faculty Compensation Survey. Instructional Faculty is defined as those members of the instructional-research staff whose major regular assignment is instruction, including those with released time for research.

EXCLUDE from full-time:
(a) instructional faculty in preclinical and clinical medicine, faculty who are not paid (e.g., those who donate their services or are in the military), or research-only faculty, post-doctoral fellows, or pre-doctoral fellows. Include as part-time only if they teach one or more non-clinical credit courses.
(b) administrative officers with titles such as dean of students, librarian, registrar, coach, and the like, even though they may devote part of their time to classroom instruction and may have faculty status. Include as part-time if they teach one or more non-clinical credit courses.
(c) other administrators/staff who teach one or more non-clinical credit courses even though they do not have faculty status. Include as part-time.
(d) undergraduate or graduate students who assist in the instruction of courses, but have titles such as teaching assistant, teaching fellow, and the like.
(e) faculty on leave without pay.
(f) replacement faculty for faculty on sabbatical leave or leave with pay. Include as part-time.

Full-time instructional faculty: faculty employed on a full-time basis for instruction (including those with released time for research).

Part-time instructional faculty: Adjuncts and other instructors being paid solely for part-time classroom instruction. Also includes full-time faculty teaching less than two semesters, three quarters, two trimesters, or two four-month sessions. Employees who are not considered full-time instructional faculty but who teach one or more non-clinical credit courses may be counted as part-time faculty.

Minority faculty: includes faculty who designate themselves as black, non-Hispanic;American Indian or Alaska Native;Asian or Pacific Islander;or Hispanic.

Doctorate: includes such degrees as Doctor of Philosophy, Doctor of Education, Doctor of Juridical Science, and Doctor of Public Health in any field such as arts, sciences,education, engineering, business, and public administration.

First-professional: includes the fields of dentistry (DDS or DMD), medicine (MD), optometry (OD), osteopathic medicine (DO), pharmacy (DPharm or BPharm), podiatric medicine (DPM), veterinary medicine (DVM), chiropractic (DC or DCM), law (JD) and theological professions (MDiv, MHL).

Terminal master's degree: a master's degree that is considered the highest degree in a field: example, M. Arch ( in architecture) and MFA (master of fine arts in art or theater).

I-2. Student to Faculty Ratio

Report the Fall 2004 ratio of full-time equivalent students (full-time plus 1/3 part-time) to full-time equivalent instructional faculty (full-time plus 1/3 part-time). In the ratio calculations, exclude both faculty and students in stand-alone graduate or professional programs such as medicine, law, veterinary, dentistry, social work, business, or public health in which faculty teach virtually only graduate-level students. Do not count undergraduate or graduate student teaching assistants as faculty.

Fall 2004 Student to Faculty ratio: 10 to 1 (based on ~1,200 students and 118.78 FTE faculty).

I-3. Undergraduate Class Size

In the table below, please use the following definitions to report information about the size of classes and class sections offered in the Fall 2004 term.

Class Sections: A class section is an organized course offered for credit, identified by discipline and number, meeting at a stated time or times in a classroom or similar setting, and not a subsection such as a laboratory or discussion session. Undergraduate class sections are defined as any sections in which at least one degree-seeking undergraduate student is enrolled for credit. Exclude distance learning classes and noncredit classes and individual instruction such as dissertation or thesis research, music instruction, or one-to-one readings. Exclude students in independent study, cooperative programs, internships, foreign language taped tutor sessions, practicums, and all students in one-on-one classes. Each class section should be counted only once and should not be duplicated because of course catalog cross-listings.

Class Subsections: A class subsection includes any subsection of a course, such as laboratory, recitation, and discussion subsections that are supplementary in nature and are scheduled to meet separately from the lecture portion of the course. Undergraduate subsections are defined as any subsections of courses in which degree-seeking undergraduate students enrolled for credit. As above, exclude noncredit classes and individual instruction such as dissertation or thesis research, music instruction, or one-to-one readings. Each class subsection should be counted only once and should not be duplicated because of cross-listings.

Using the above definitions, please report for each of the following class-size intervals the number of class sections and class subsections offered in Fall 2004. For example, a lecture class with 800 students who met at another time in 40 separate labs with 20 students should be counted once in the "100+" column in the class section column and 40 times under the "20-29" column of the class subsections table.

J. DEGREES CONFERRED

Degrees conferred between July 1, 2003 and June 30, 2004

For each of the following discipline areas, provide the percentage of diplomas/certificates, associate, and bachelor's degrees awarded. To determine the percentage, use majors, not headcount (e.g., students with one degree but a double major will be represented twice). Calculate the percentage from your institution's IPEDS Completions by using the sum of 1st and 2nd majors for each CIP code as the numerator and the sum of the Grand Total by 1st Majors and the Grand Total by 2nd major as the denominator. If you prefer, you can compute the percentages using 1st majors only.
