2003-2004 Catalog of StudiesDale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences
OBJECTIVESThe objectives of the Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences are to improve agriculture and family living in Arkansas, to stimulate students in their own development, to foster an attitude of inquiry and to develop leadership. To accomplish this, the curricula are designed to include basic courses in physical, biological and social sciences, mathematics, the humanities, and communications, as well as agriculture and human environmental sciences. Such education is important to prepare young men and women for careers for the 21st century.
HISTORY AND ORGANIZATIONAs the land-grant university of Arkansas, the University of Arkansas has the responsibility for leadership in agricultural and human environmental sciences. This responsibility is shared with the Division of Agriculture, and it includes teaching, research and service functions. The Bumpers College is an integral component of the University of Arkansas and addresses the teaching responsibility of the land-grant university. Its roots lie in the First Morrill Act of 1862, which created the land-grant system by providing a grant of land to each state for the establishment of a college "where the leading objective shall be, without excluding other scientific and classical studies and including military tactics, to teach such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and the mechanical arts in such manner as the legislatures of the state may prescribe to promote the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes in the several pursuits and professions of life." Agricultural sciences have been taught at the University of Arkansas almost from the beginning of the institution in 1872. The first degrees in agriculture were conferred by the University in 1904. The passage of the Hatch Act in 1887 and subsequent legislation made possible the Agricultural Experiment Station, the research component of the Division of Agriculture. Most faculty who teach in the Bumpers College also hold appointments in the Experiment Sta-tion and are able to incorporate active research into their teaching. The dissemination of University research in agriculture and human environmental sciences is carried out by personnel in the Cooperative Extension Service, created by the Smith-Lever Act of 1914. Many Extension specialists also hold adjunct faculty status and bring their expertise to the teaching program. It is this blending of teaching, research and service functions that create a unique learning environment in the College. As students learn to relate basic areas of science to human needs, they study in laboratory-based classes and are taught in research facilities supported by the Division of Agriculture. Similarly, students are encouraged to intern with professionals in industry and governmental agencies, including the Cooperative Extension Service. The School of Human Environmental Sciences was originally established as the department of home economics in 1913. The department was elevated to school status in 1994, and its name was changed to the School of Human Environmental Sciences. In recognition of the land-grant mission of the University and its commitment to serve the entire state, the Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences has worked cooperatively with numerous community colleges to organize the Arkansas Consortium for Teaching Agriculture (ACTA). ACTA is designed to facilitate the "seamless" transfer of students from community colleges to the Bumpers College. Coordinated advising, recruiting and curricula development are working goals of the Consortium. Students interested in ACTA should contact the dean's office. Services for Students with Children There are two services administered by the School of Human Environmental Sciences that can benefit young children whose parents are students at the University of Arkansas. The Infant Development Center (IDC), located at 536 N. Leverett Street, provides care for children age three months to three years. At least one parent must be a UA student, and priority is given to undergraduate parents, single parents, and families in which both parents are UA students. The Nursery School provides care for children from the entire community who are between the ages of three and five years. Enrollment in each program is limited, and no provision is made to accommodate "drop-ins." For fee and other information, call the School of Human Environmental Sciences at (479) 575-4306. DEGREES OFFEREDAll entering students (including freshmen, international and transfer students) admitted to the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, are eligible to pursue a degree program in the Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences. Degrees offered are as follows:
Non-Degree Training While most students enrolled in the Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences work toward a degree, students who desire additional education of a specific nature but who do not wish to fulfill all requirements for a degree may enroll as special or unclassified students.
College Scholarships In addition to the scholarships awarded by the University, there are a number of scholarships available to students in agricultural and human environmental sciences made possible by generous gifts from many firms and individuals. During the 2001-2002 school year, the College awarded approximately 375 scholarships for over $670,000. To be considered for a college scholarship, students must first be admitted to the University. Most scholarships require students to be enrolled full-time, which is at least 12 credit hours per semester. A College scholarship application, which serves as an application to all available scholarships offered by the College, must be submitted by March 1 each year (priority deadline for new freshmen is February 15). A listing of various outside scholarships is available for review in the dean's office, E-108, Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences Building and on the college's web-site. There are also miscellaneous outside scholarships for which applications are available in some departmental offices. For more information on scholarships, contact the dean's office.

Requirements for a minor in journalism: Students interested in a journalism minor may choose from one of three areas: Print Journalism (18 semester hours)
Broadcast Journalism (18 semester hours)
Print and Broadcast Journalism (18 semester hours)
A student interested in a journalism minor must notify his or her major adviser for detailed information. The minor is coordinated by the department of agricultural and extension education in consultation with the department of journalism. PRE-VETERINARY MEDICINEBecause Arkansas does not have a college of veterinary medicine, the Arkansas General Assembly has authorized funds for education in veterinary medicine at out-of-state institutions. The State Board of Higher Education is the designated agent for the State of Arkansas, and the Student Loan Authority is authorized to administer the program. Terms and conditions prescribed by the Student Loan Authority are as follows: the grant will cover only out-of-state tuition, and the student will pay his or her own fees and expenses. Contracts have been negotiated with the Board of Control for Southern Regional Education for education in veterinary medicine at Louisiana State University, Mississippi State and at Tuskegee University. Arrangements have also been made with the University of Missouri and Oklahoma State University. Under the provisions of the legislation, only citizens of Arkansas are eligible. They must enroll in and complete the pre-veterinary medicine curriculum to satisfy the admission requirements of these colleges of veterinary medicine. The pre-veterinary medicine program at the University of Arkansas is administered in the departments of animal and poultry science of the Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences. There are faculty in these departments who help counsel and advise students regarding their pre-veterinary medicine program. There are also faculty veterinarians who provide some insight into the practice of veterinary medicine and are knowledgeable about many of the problems encountered in establishing a practice upon graduation. Some of these veterinarians have been in private practice; others have been involved in full-time agricultural research since graduation from veterinary medicine and graduate school. Because there is a wide cross-section of experience among these faculty, students find their counsel valuable in planning a future in veterinary medicine. While it is possible to complete requirements for admission to some colleges of veterinary medicine in two years, most students take three years or more to complete the requirements, and most complete a B.S.A. degree before being admitted. Students who carefully plan their work may complete a B.S.A. degree by transferring hours earned in the first two years at an accredited college of veterinary medicine back to the University of Arkansas, provided they complete certain degree requirements at the University prior to entering a school or college of veterinary medicine. These students must complete a minimum of 94 hours of a 124-hour program of prescribed courses. This will require three years and one or two 6-week summer terms for most students. Therefore, students should inform their adviser early in their program that they wish to be in a pre-vet degree program. The Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences is ready to assist students in fulfilling their pre-veterinary medicine requirements whether they desire to complete them in a two-year span or over three or four years. The supporting departments at the University, including chemistry, English and biological sciences, all offer quality courses that give a student an excellent background for the pursuit of a degree in veterinary medicine. To earn the professional degree, a student must complete the pre-veterinary medicine requirements and the four-year prescribed curriculum in one of the colleges of veterinary medicine. Required Examinations All required examinations are given on campus and administered by testing services (Hotz Hall 730, phone, 479-575-3948). Exams must be taken at least by late fall of the year prior to entering vet school. Application forms for taking the exams can be picked up at testing services. Applications should be turned in at least 30 days prior to examination. Students seeking admission to Louisiana State University may take the MCAT on one of the two national testing dates in the spring or early fall or the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), which is given frequently. Students who wish to apply for admission to either Tuskegee University or the University of Missouri must take the VCAT, which is given twice each fall. Students applying for admission to Oklahoma State University must take the general test and the biology test of the G.R.E., which is given frequently on campus. Applications Students applying to Louisiana State University and/or Oklahoma State and Mississippi State must fill out a Veterinary Medical College Application Service (VMCAS) form, available at their online site (www.aavmc.org). Students must complete the application and have it postmarked by Oct. 1st of the year prior to beginning studies. Students applying to the University of Missouri may obtain the application form at <http://www.hsc.missouri.edu/vetmed.docs.adm.html>. Applications must be received by Nov. 1 of the year prior to entry. Applications forms for Tuskegee University may be obtained from the University of Arkansas department of animal science or directly from Tuskegee University. Application forms are due by Dec. 5th of the year prior to entering school. Since requirements for the various veterinary schools periodically change, it is important that students check with their adviser about specific school requirements as they progress through the pre-veterinary requirements. All students should contact the Coordinator of Veterinary Medicine, Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food, and Life Sciences B109, University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, Arkansas 72701, phone (479) 575-4351 in the spring prior to making fall application for admission to a veterinary school to verify that they can complete the requirements for the school they wish to attend. Pre-professional requirements and specific requirements for admission to colleges of veterinary medicine at Louisiana State University, Oklahoma State University, University of Missouri and Tuskegee University are listed with information on the Web for the department of animal science at <http:/www.uark.edu/depts/dbcafls/>.
GRADUATE STUDIES The Graduate School of the University, in cooperation with the Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences, offers the master of science degree in each of its nine departments and in one school. Six doctoral degrees are offered. More detailed information regarding individual programs may be obtained by contacting the administrative office of each department, or by consulting the Graduate School Catalog.

Courses in the department of crop, soil, and environmental sciences provide fundamental and applied studies in two majors: crop management (CPMG) and environmental, soil, and water science (ESWS). Areas studied within the crop management major include plant breeding and genetics, crop and forage production, pest management (weeds, insects, and plant diseases), and soil fertility. The Environmental, Soil, and Water Science major includes courses in areas such as environmental science, water quality, soil science, soil and water conservation, and the sustainable productivity of natural resources. Supporting education in the basic sciences complements courses in the Crop Management and Environmental, Soil and Water Science majors. Opportunities for employment and post-graduate study are numerous for graduates of the Department of Crop, Soil and Environmental Sciences. Crop Management graduates become involved in crop production or find employment in public agencies providing support services for agriculture (e.g., Extension Service, State Plant Board, Natural Resources Conservation Service), as consultants serving production agriculture, in the agrichemical and seed industries, and in agricultural research programs. Environmental, Soil, and Water Science graduates find jobs with environmental consulting companies, environmental education organizations, state agencies (e.g., Extension Service, Department of Environmental Quality, Health Department), federal agencies (e.g., Environmental Protection Agency, Natural Resources Conservation Service), municipalities and local environmental services (e.g., waste management and recycling, water and wastewater treatment facilities, parks and tourism departments), and a wide variety of private businesses. Many graduates from both majors also choose to continue their education in graduate programs in a wide variety of disciplines both related and complementary to the B.S. degrees.

Food Science is the discipline in which the engineering, biological and physical sciences are used to study the nature of foods, the causes of deterioration, the principles underlying food processing and the improvement of foods for the consuming public. Food Technology is the application of Food Science to the selection, preservation, processing, packaging, distribution, and use of safe, nutritious and wholesome food. A major in Food Science prepares students for a wide variety of interesting and challenging career opportunities with food companies and governmental agencies. Students may choose one of two areas of concentration for their degree program: Food Science (FDSC) or Food Technology (FDTN). The Food Science concentration at the University of Arkansas is one of only 45 programs in the United States and the only one in Arkansas that provides a curriculum that is approved by the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT). The Food Science concentration provides students with a strong background in the basic sciences and in advanced Food Science, which prepares them for graduate studies and careers in processing, research and development, quality control and assurance, value-added product development, sensory analysis, and food control and assurance, and food safety. The Food Technology concentration provides students with an integrated background in food science and agribusiness and business. Students in the Food Technology concentration can readily complete a minor in agribusiness or business. Ample elective hours exist in both concentrations to allow the selection of a minor in the Bumpers, Fulbright or Walton colleges.

The department of horticulture offers two major degree plans: horticulture (HORT) and turf and landscape horticulture (TLHT). Horticulture involves production, management, marketing, and use of ornamental crops (shrubs, trees, flowers and turf) and edible crops (vegetables and fruits) for the economic, aesthetic and nutritional well being of society. The horticulture major provides education in basic and applied sciences, arts and humanities, communication and leadership, business and economics, to provide an understanding of the underlying principles in plant growth and development, development and use of new technologies, and the actual operation of a horticultural enterprise. An internship in the industry to gain practical, hands-on experience is required. Job opportunities for horticulturists include horticulture crop production and management, horticulture merchandising and business, consulting, inspection, research, teaching, communications, allied industries serving horticultural producers, and developing private business. Advanced study may be required for some careers. Students pursuing the horticulture degree may choose to concentrate studies in one of three areas: 1. Horticulture Management and Production (HMAP) 2. Horticulture Science (HSCI) 3. Horticulture Merchandising (HMER). The turf and landscape horticulture (TLHT) major blends broad training in turf and ornamental horticulture with a strong basis in science. This major also requires an internship in the industry to gain practical, hands-on experience. Students interested in careers related to golf course or sports turf management, or to the diverse landscaping industries have two concentration options: A) Turf Management (TMGM) B) Landscape Horticulture (LHRT). Turf management students will be exposed to the many aspects of the turfgrass industry and receive specific training in horticulture, environmental sciences, pest management, business and communications. Landscape horticulture students will receive instruction in selection, care and use of plant materials as well as the skills of management for the residential, commercial or public landscapes. Job opportunities for turf management graduates include golf course superintendent, sports field manager, turfgrass service companies, seed or sod production, green industry journalism, research, teaching or private consulting. Landscape horticulture graduates will be prepared for careers in the landscape management industry, landscape nurseries, landscape architectural firms, private and public gardens, and public agencies such as parks and recreation.

The pest management major is an interdisciplinary program of study in the Departments of Crop, Soil, and Environmental Sciences, Entomology and Plant Pathology in the Bumpers College. The major is coordinated by an interdepartmental steering committee. Although students may be advised by faculty in any of the three departments referenced above, they should contact the program coordinator to be assigned an appropriate adviser. The program is designed for those students seeking employment with various agriculturally related industries such as chemical, seed or biotechnology companies, state and federal research institutions, extension and regulatory agencies, private and public consulting firms, farmer's cooperatives, nurseries, home and garden centers, green house production firms and corporate farms. This degree program prepares students to work in an increasingly technical, rapidly growing segment of agriculture. Effective management of pest problems requires a broad base of knowledge in the pest disciplines (entomology, plant pathology and weed science), in biological/physical sciences and crop management as well as practical field experience. This knowledge and experience is provided in the undergraduate pest management major. A broad range of electives allows students to personalize their program to fit specific interests. The program is also designed to prepare students who wish to pursue graduate studies (master's and doctoral degrees). Additional information is available on the pest management Web site.

Interest and aptitude for the biological and physical sciences that support nutrition science are needed to complete concentrations A and B successfully. Concentration C is the best choice for those students who have an interest in management and who enjoy working with people.
Concentration A - Dietetics (DIET): This concentration is for the student whose goal is to become a registered dietitian (RD). Courses required include those necessary as prerequisites to a dietetic internship. An internship is required for eligibility to take the national registration examination and for eligibility for licensure. Students who complete the program with a minimum grade point average of 3.0 may apply for an internship. Upon licensure, students practice as registered dietitians in the health care field or as consulting dietitians in private practice, sports nutrition or in wellness and health maintenance centers. Students with lower GPAs may apply for supervised practice programs leading to the dietetic technician registered (DTR) certification.
Concentration B - General Foods and Nutrition (GFNU): Students taking this concentration are encouraged to select an approved minor from the Bumpers, Walton or Fulbright colleges or plan other combinations of courses to prepare for non-traditional vocations including work in community or government sponsored programs, wellness and health maintenance centers, public relations in the food industry, TV/media outlets for food and nutrition information, and international food or nutritional programs.
Concentration C - Hospitality and Restaurant Management (HRMN): Students in the hospitality and restaurant management concentration prepare themselves for managerial positions in the restaurant and hospitality industry. This dynamic curriculum provides students with skills in foods and business, as well as hospitality and restaurant management. Students have the opportunity to manage and operate a restaurant on campus. Students obtain hands-on experience by completing 1,000 hours of satisfactory, verifiable work experience in the hospitality and restaurant industry, usually completed during the summer and on part-time jobs during the school year. This noncredit work experience must be completed prior to graduation. A management internship, which allows students to acquire practical management experience and specialized knowledge from supervised work in a hotel, restaurant or other hospitality-related business, is also part of this degree. Students in this program can complete a minor in business.

Interior Design (IDES)Interior design, a FIDER accredited program, combines an excellent foundation of professional courses that are enhanced by classes in human environmental sciences, art, architecture and business. A goal of the program is to foster a sense of personal and professional responsibility. Students are actively involved in national design competitions and domestic and international travel. Field trip opportunities are offered on a regular basis, and students are expected to participate. Graduates are placed in residential, contract, and institutional interior design firms, architectural firms, art galleries, set design and contract and residential sales. A sophomore portfolio review is an important component of the academic program. The review of studio work will occur in December of the sophomore year. The submitted materials will follow guidelines prepared by the interior design faculty and will include examples of work from Design I, Design II, Studio I, and Introduction to Presentation Media. All full-time interior design faculty will review portfolios. Students will receive a pass or probation. If the portfolio is acceptable (pass), the student may continue, without remediation or additional required work, to junior-level studios. To be removed from probationary status, the student must comply with faculty recommendations that may include repeating a course(s), taking supplemental courses to strengthen a weakness, or submission of reworked studio projects. Students on probation must resubmit a portfolio at the end of the spring semester following the initial review. In the event that skills are not improved, the student will not be permitted to progress into upper-level studios. The studio sequence increases in complexity throughout the curriculum. The rigor of the program requires a significant commitment of time and energy. Students can expect to spend a minimum of 3 hours out of class for each hour of studio time to complete projects. Participation in an annual senior portfolio exhibition and a supervised internship experience are requirements for graduation. The faculty reserve the right to retain student work for accreditation and recruitment purposes. Transfer students seeking advanced placement must submit a portfolio for faculty review prior to beginning any studio course. Review of portfolio will allow appropriate placement based on demonstrated skills. Students may be required to wait a semester for the appropriate studio sequence. Transfer students placed into the program prior to sophomore portfolio review will be required to participate in the sophomore review process. A professional advisory board supports the program, and faculty and students participate in professional design association activities. The faculty are well qualified educators and practitioners who foster an attitude of inquiry and learning based on their individual skills and interest. Intellectual development of students is stimulated and leadership qualities enhanced throughout the four-year curriculum. The student chapter of the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) allows for interaction with professionals in interior design and allied professions. In response to industry demands, the program requires laptop computers. Students must acquire a laptop for use in studio courses that are taught in the spring semester of the second year of the program. Specifications for laptops must be obtained from interior design faculty prior to purchase by the student.
