Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

The objectives of the department are as follows: (1) to acquaint the student with the common biological factors of his environment for the purpose of increasing his range of interest, and fostering an appreciation of his relation to nature; (2) to require such intensive training in the department as will give the student a reasonable understanding and mastery of the content and technique in this field of knowledge; (3) to offer the student a basic training for those professional and technical studies which may most advantageously be pursued upon a foundation of the department offerings; and (4) to foster the general development of the student’s spiritual life.
