Graduate Catalog Policy Statement
Henderson State University is committed to the policy of providing educational opportunities of all qualified students regardless of their economic or social status and will not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, creed, sexual orientation, disability, veteran's status, age, marital or parental status, or national origin. The Office of General Counsel, 308 Womack Hall, has been designated to coordinate efforts to comply with the provision of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Civil Rights Act of 1991.
This catalog presents current policies and procedures concerning Henderson State University and the Graduate School, including admission requirements, registration fees, curricula offered, degrees granted, and courses available. However, because all policies and procedures are essentially subject to a continuing evaluation process, the University reserves the right to make appropriate revisions at any time and without prior notice. Consequently, the catalog does not constitute a contractual agreement between the university and the student.
The courses listed in this catalog have been authorized in accordance with policies approved by the academic colleges and the Graduate Council. Schedules of classes for each semester must be consulted for courses to be offered during a given semester, since the frequency of offering each course is determined by the department as program needs dictate, with no assurance that a given course will be offered every year. The outline of courses and prerequisites, when stated, are meant to serve as a guide to degree program planning and are subject to specific determination and consultation with program advisors.
Information concerning graduate academic programs may be obtained by writing the Graduate School at HSU Box 7802, 1100 Henderson Street, Arkadelphia, AR 71999-0001, or visiting the HSU web-site at http://www.hsu.edu or emailing grad@hsu.edu or calling (870) 230-5126.
