Welcome to NAU's 1998-2000 Graduate Catalog This catalog has the basic information you need to enroll in and pursue a program of graduate study at Northern Arizona University, along with a complete list of the graduate courses that we offer. Please be aware that this catalog does not establish a contractual relationship. Courses, programs, and requirements described in this catalog may be suspended, deleted, restricted, supplemented, or changed in any other manner by the university and the Arizona Board of Regents at any time. However, this catalog does summarize the requirements you must meet--as of the August 1998 printing of this catalog--to qualify for a faculty recommendation to the Arizona Board of Regents to award a degree. Also note that the electronic version of the catalog is not updated more frequently than the printed catalog, to avoid confusion between the two.  The printed catalog remains the official source of information.

Please Note: You should know that NAU does not discriminate on the basis of age, race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or veteran status in our admissions, employment, and educational programs or activities, as required by Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, Title VI and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as amended; Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 as amended; the Civil Rights Act of 1991; the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967. In addition, NAU's Safe Working and Learning Environment Policy addresses all types of prohibited discrimination and harassment. NAU's policy on nondiscrimination is further augmented by the voluntary affirmative action policies of Executive Order 11246, Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Vietnam Era Veteran's Readjustment Assistance Act of 1973 as amended.

You may inquire about the application of these regulations or the Safe Working and Learning Environment Policy by contacting the Affirmative Action Office, Title IX Coordinator or Section 504 and ADA Coordinator, Northern Arizona University, PO Box 4083, Flagstaff, AZ 86011-4083 (520-523-3312, TDD 520-523-1006).
