The University English as a Second Language Program consists of a year-round intensive English program and short-term special programs. The year-round intensive program provides English language instruction (20 hours a week), orientation to American culture, and academic preparation for international students from around the world. Students can enter the program four times a year and progress through the 5-level program at their own rate. Content courses and elective courses, including TOEFL Preparation, are offered in addition to work in the core skill areas (reading, writing, integrated grammar, listening comprehension, and speaking). Educational field trips, social activities, and outside-class communication opportunities with native speakers of English serve to enhance the learning experience. In addition, conditional admission to undergraduate study at CWU is an option through the UESL Program.
Short-term special programs are arranged for specific groups from schools, companies and organizations. Students from many of CWU's sister institutions come to campus each year for such programs.
The Program provides practical training in Teaching English as a Second Language for education majors as well as English Department graduate students. American students can volunteer to be a Conversational Partner with a UESL student.

The Asia University America Program (AUAP) is a study abroad program for sophomores from Asia University in Tokyo, Japan. Two groups of students come to CWU each year and stay for five months. A group of approximately 100 students arrives the beginning of March and stays until the end of July, and a group of approximately 60 students arrives at the beginning of fall quarter and stays through mid-February. The program is presently ongoing at two other universities in the northwest: Western Washington University and Eastern Washington University.
The purpose of the AUAP is to provide students from Asia University the opportunity to improve their English skills, learn about American culture and experience university life in the U.S. Students receive instruction in English, American History, Human Environment and their major areas of study such as business, international relations, economics and law. The classes are taught by AUAP instructors following a curriculum set up by Asia University. The students earn one semester of Asia University credit during their studies at CWU.
CWU students are employed in the AUAP as International Peer Advisors and also as teaching assistants in the classes.Many CWU students volunteer to participate in the Campus Friends program in which AUAP students are matched with CWU students for conversation and activities.

General Departmental Information
Mathematics is an expanding and evolving body of knowledge as well as a way of perceiving, formulating and solving problems in many disciplines. The subject is a constant interplay between the worlds of thought and application. The student of mathematics will find worthy challenges and the subsequent rewards in meeting them.
The general student will find preparatory courses in precalculus mathematics and traditional mathematics courses such as calculus, linear algebra, geometry, abstract algebra, and analysis. Also, more specialized courses in discrete mathematics, number theory and the history of mathematics are offered. Special needs of Computer Science majors, Elementary Education majors and general education requirements are also met by courses in the Mathematics Department.
For those desiring concentrated work in mathematics, the Mathematics Department offers four programs leading to Bachelor degrees. A Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science in Mathematics prepares the student as a mathematician for industry or graduate work. A Bachelor of Arts in Secondary Teaching prepares the student to teach at the junior, middle or high school levels. A Bachelor of Science in Mathematics with an Actuarial Science specialization prepares the student to work as an actuary or in applied statistics. A Bachelor of Arts minor and a Secondary Teaching minor are also available.
One graduate degree is offered: the Master of Arts for teachers. This is described in the graduate section of the catalog.
All programs (major, minor, including electives) must be on file and approved by the Department at least one academic year preceding graduation.
1. Enrollment in MATH 100.1, MATH 101, MATH 130.1, MATH 164.1 requires a satisfactory score on one of the following tests: SAT, ACT, the California Achievement Test (for teacher preparation), Central's Computerized Placement Test (CPT) or the Intermediate Assessment Test. The scores on the SAT or ACT tests must have been achieved within the last three years before math placement. The student with insufficient test scores is encouraged to seek remediation through the Academic Achievement Office prior to re-testing.
2. Students who wish to enroll in Precalculus (MATH 163.1 or MATH 163.2) or Calculus (MATH 170 or MATH 172.1) and who have not had the necessary prerequisite course at a college or university must take the mathematics placement test. Student will be placed in accord with their results on this test as determined by the Mathematics Department. See the Mathematics Department for more details.
3. Admission to any mathematics course having prerequisites requires either a suitable math placement test score or a grade of 2.0 or better in each listed prerequisite to that course.
4. Admission to any major in the Mathematics Department will be considered after the first two quarters of calculus are taken (MATH 172.1, MATH 172.2). Transfer students with the calculus background will generally take and successfully complete (2.0 or better) ten hours of math beyond calculus to be admitted to a major. Application forms are available from the Mathematics Department office. Students must meet with an advisor in the Mathematics Department before being considered for major or minor. In addition, students must earn a minimum grade of C in any course which fulfills a major or minor requirement.

The Ronald E. McNair Scholars Program at CWU is funded by a grant from the U. S. Department of Education under TRIO Programs. This is a service-intensive program, not a scholarship. The program is designed to provide underrepresented (low-income and first-generation and/or ethnic minority) students with the training and opportunity to prepare for and successfully apply to graduate school programs. The goal of the program is for scholars to achieve their doctorates and teach at universities.
A cornerstone of this program is linking the scholars with faculty mentors. The students are expected to complete a summer research internship under the supervision of a research mentor. The scholars also have the option of a teaching internship during one academic quarter. Their teaching mentor may be a different faculty member. This internship is designed to expose scholars to the role of a university professor and to give scholars "hands-on" experience with teaching at the university level (under the supervision of the teaching mentor).
McNair Scholars are encouraged to apply as sophomores or juniors and are selected by virtue of their academic excellence, career objectives, and faculty recommendations. The McNair office is located in the Language and Literature Building room 103. The phone number is 963-2793.
MCNA 299.1. McNair Scholars Seminar (1). Prerequisite, student must be accepted into the McNair Scholars Program. A seminar series taking McNair scholars through all steps needed to build a portfolio for the graduate school application process. Grade will be S or U.
MCNA 395. Undergraduate Research Methods (2). Prerequisite, student must be accepted into the McNair Scholars Program. An introduction to research methods in preparation for an undergraduate summer research internship. Grade will be S or U.

Medical microbiology, physiology, parasitology, genetics and virology are highly recommended. Background courses in clinical laboratory sciences also are desirable.)
4. One course in college-level mathematics. (Statistics is also strongly recommended.)
5. Physics (including light and electricity) is required for licensure in the state of California but is not required for admission to this program.
6. Applicants who have completed courses in organic chemistry or biochemistry, microbiology, and immunology seven or more years before application must repeat these courses to be eligible for admission to the clinical training program.
Application forms can be obtained from the program coordinator on the CWU campus in Ellensburg or from the CWU Center for Medical Technology. To complete the application process the following materials need to be submitted:
Application for Admission to the CWU Center for Medical Technology; transcripts from each college and university attended; three references. In addition arrangements for an interview are to be made. Students who have graduated from foreign universities must have their transcripts evaluated by an approved evaluation agency. The selection process is based in a large part upon grades, but consideration is also given to the references, interview, work experience and supporting coursework completed.
The clinical program requires liability insurance and current immunizations. Information pertaining to the clinical training program including essential functions of a medical technologist, regulations applicable to the clinical year, and pass/fail criteria will be provided by the Program Director. For further information about this program, contact the Program Coordinator, Medical Technology Program, Central Washington University, Ellensburg, WA 98926 (Telephone (509) 963-2710) or the Program Director, CWU Center for Medical Technology, 1120 W.

General Departmental Information
The Military Science Department courses are designed to prepare students for leadership positions. Additionally, students who complete the military science program will be eligible for a Commission as an Officer in the U.S. Army, Army Reserve or the Army National Guard. The on-campus instructional program is designed to fit into the regular academic schedule of the University and is taught by Army personnel. It consists of military science and other academic classes, leadership laboratory and off-campus summer camp training. Academic studies include courses in military science and tactics, principles of leadership, officership, techniques of instruction, personnel and logistics management, staff procedures, physical conditioning, land navigation, and military law. Various activities are scheduled each quarter to further familiarize the student with the ROTC program. All military textbooks and uniform items are furnished without charge. Academic standards for entry into the ROTC program are the same as those of the University. The program is open to any student to explore their military interests.
The ROTC program is divided into two phases--a basic course and a two-year advanced course. The basic course can be completed by following one of the three possible options. OPTION 1- is for students with no prior military service. OPTION 1 is normally taken during the freshman and sophomore years. OPTION 2 - is for students with no prior military service who did not take any or all of the OPTION 1 courses, yet wish to enter the advanced course. This option requires attendance at a six-week summer leadership internship. OPTION 3 - is for students with prior military service. The two year program (Option 2 or 3) is open to upper-division and graduate students presently enrolled at the University or to upper division and graduate transfer students from other colleges.
BASIC COURSE (No Obligation to the US Armed Forces).
OPTION 1 or 2 - First and second year students may become familiar with the ROTC program by taking any of the basic course offerings. There are no obligations of any kind during the first two years of Army ROTC for other than scholarship students. The beginning student must be or intend to become, a citizen of the United States. A student who participated in a high school JROTC program for at least 3 years may receive placement credit equaling the first year of college level ROTC.
OPTION 2 - This program includes attendance at a summer leadership internship, a 36-day camp at Fort Knox, Kentucky. No obligation is incurred by attending. Completion of this camp qualifies students for direct entry into the advanced course. While at camp, the student receives pay, in addition to travel expenses to and from the camp location. Academic subjects covered at camp are the same as those covered in OPTION1.
OPTION 3 - Credit toward completion of Army ROTC courses may be given for prior ROTC or military training. Veterans routinely receive full credit for the first two years of Army ROTC and may enter the advanced course directly.
ADVANCED COURSE
In the advanced course, students can expect a challenging course of instruction designed to prepare them for the position of second lieutenant. Classroom work requires a quarterly writing and speaking requirement. Advanced course students must attend a minimum of two field trips annually which are conducted during the academic year. Good physical conditioning is maintained within the cadet corps by taking quarterly physical education class (PEF118). In addition cadets in the commissioning program attend a 32-day summer camp between their junior and senior years, during which they receive varied and challenging training for which they are paid both for the time at camp and for travel expenses to and from the camp location. Students in the advanced course receive a tax free stipend of $200 per month for a maximum of 20 months.
Upon completion of the Basic Course (OPTION 1, 2, or 3) and Advance Course, students seeking an Officer Commission will be able to select full-time employment (active Army) or part-time employment through the Army National Guard or the Army Reserves. If desired, students can guarantee their placement in the Army Reserve or the Army National Guard. The Simultaneous Membership Program (SMP) provides further hands-on training in various leadership tasks.
The SMP program is an Officer Training program which provides entry level experience, commensurate with that of a Second Lieutenant, to various jobs in the military. Training is conducted jointly with the Army National Guard or the Army Reserve and is mentored by a resident commissioned officer. The SMP program is in conjunction with the Advance Course.
SPECIAL TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES: Summer training opportunities are available for Advance Course and Scholarship participants. Department of the Army Schools available include: Airborne (parachute) training, Air Assault training, Northern Warfare School, and Mountain Warfare School.
Additionally; Cadet Troop Leadership Training (CTLT) is available to all cadets that have completed the first year of the Advance Course of study and the Advance Camp. CTLT is a good chance to experience life as a second lieutenant in an Active Army Troop Unit for a few weeks prior to returning for your senior year of college study.
SCHOLARSHIPS: Four, three and two-year scholarships are available each academic year to qualified students. The scholarships pay tuition, laboratory expenses, related fees, book stipend and provide $250 - $350 per month for miscellaneous expenses..
FELLOWSHIPS: Graduating seniors may compete for several fully-funded army graduate fellowships.
TRANSFER STUDENTS: Students transferring from other institutions, including community colleges, are urged to consult with one of the Military Science faculty in Peterson Hall to plan their CWU program and apply for scholarships.
GRADUATE STUDENTS: Graduate students should contact the Military Science Department in Peterson Hall as soon as possible to plan program participation.
VETERANS: Veterans are encouraged to contact one of the Military Science instructors for information, an outline of benefits and longevity considerations and placement credit.
Commissioning as an officer requires the successful completion of selected Professional Military Education (PME) courses. Appropriate courses of instruction to satisfy this requirement are those which include written communication skills, human behavior, military history, computer literacy, and math literacy in the course content. A list of appropriate courses is available from the Department.
