Library Science Known as the smallest school in the University, the School of Library Science, has 218 students. Dean Russell Bidlack said most of those attracted to the school previously worked in libraries. Bidlack added that the school's ratio of four women, to one man is explained by the fact that traditionally more women have been interested in the field. The University is one of 68 accredited library science schools across the riation. Most qualified students are ad- itted, Bidlack said. Literature, Science and the Arts. The largest and most flexible college within the University is the College of Literature, Science and the Arts. Because of its size, the college is often identified by students as the University, rather than as a specific unit. Students generally enroll in the college to pursue a particular field of tudy, to complete a' pre-professional rogram, or to explore a future field of- specialization through a liberal education. English composition and distribution courses in the social sciences, humanities, 'and natural sciences are the only requirements for most degrees.

Field work is a major part of the was made to help meet the changing community needs for pharmacists. The course program for pharmacy students is very rigid, and most courses must be taken in sequence. One unique feature of the Univer- sity's pharmacy program is the num- ber of women enrolled. Associate Dean James Richards said the number has always been high here, but women currently comprise 65 per cent of the student body, the highest of any phar- macy college in the nation. Public Health While medical schools are interested in training students to treat individual patients, the School of Public Health provides instruction for students in- terested in the prevention of health problems on a community basis, accor- ding to Don Haefner, assistant dean of* the school. The different programs in the school have varying requirements and com- petition for admittance. For instance, hospital administration is much more competitive than most of the other areas. The school, which has 700 students and about 100 faculty members, com- monly requires the student to work at a public health job during the summer. Rackham The Horace Rackham School of Graduate Studies is essentially an ex- tension of LSA, offering 154 degree programs with R most of them originating in departments within LSA. The admission requirements vary from program to program. Associate Dean Byron Groesbeck said that in looking at candidates for a graduate program, admissions officers look for people who have shown the "ability for independent study rather than a depen- dent individual who asks questions all the time. Social Work Because of the nature of the field, a diverse student population is en- couraged in the University's School of Social Work. While admitting students school officials look for variety in ex- perience, education, age, geographic distribution, and sociocultural charac- teristics, according to Admissions Director Tom Croxton. The average age of students entering the school is about 27, and many studen- ts enter the school after having pursued a different career or curriculum, Crox- ton said.

Natural Resources The School of Natural Resources is school and trips are taken to Pigeon River Forest and Camp Filibert Roth. Nursing The School of Nursing offers a variety of clinical experiences. Sandy Willis, a student advisor, said students work in hospitals and the community, dealing with healthy as well as sick people.
