Cumulative Grade Point Average
In computing a students cumulative grade point average (gpa), numerical values
are assigned to each letter grade as follows: A: 4.00; A-: 3.67;
B+: 3.33; B: 3.00; B- 2.67; C+: 2.33; C: 2.00; C- 1.67; D+: 1.33; D: 1.00; D-
:0.67; E: 0.00; F: 0.00; WF: 0.00.
The cumulative grade point average is derived by totaling the grade points received,
and dividing that total by the number of courses carried.
All grades, and all notations of WF or F, remain on the students permanent
record and are included in the computation of the cumulative grade point average.
Grades received at other institutions are not included in the computation of the

Associate Professor: David V. Guerra; Assistant Professor: Jeffrey W. Schnick.
The ideas of physics have a profound significance for anyone who would think
about nature and its intelligibility. The department offers a sequence of courses
that provides an opportunity for students to study the models, theories, and

SOCIOLOGY
Chairperson: Karen Lynch Frederick
Professor: Michael E. Dupre; Associate Professors: William J. Farrell, Karen Lynch
Frederick; Assistant Professors: Dennis W. MacDonald, Michael W. Smith;
Lecturers: Francis M. Catano, Daniel F. Forbes.
The study of Sociology gives the student an understanding and appreciation of
the nature of society, social institutions, and people as social beings and creators
of culture. Through systematic investigation and analysis, students gain knowledge
and insight into the complex systems of relations constituting the modern world.
Thus, students will be better prepared to make intelligent judgments in their
own lives and to contribute more effectively to shaping society and the world.
Sociology provides a background for pursuing further study in sociology, business,
law, social work, social services, counseling, communications, and other related
areas. Sociology also prepares students for employment in the public and private
