HISTORY, PURPOSE
AND ORGANIZATION

HISTORY

Graduate Studies in Savannah were initiated at the beginning of the
summer quarter 1968, when Savannah State College, with the approval of
the Board of Regents, began offering courses leading to the degree of
Master of Science in Elementary Education. The program operated as an
independent program for thirteen quarters, enrolling well over two
hundred students. It was approved by both the Southern Association of
Colleges and Schools and the Georgia State Board of Education. Seventy-
five persons received master's degrees under this program.

Beginning with the fall quarter of 1971, Savannah State College joined
with Armstrong State College to offer a joint program of graduate work.
The combined faculties, library holdings, and facilities of the two colleges
made possible the expansion of the graduate program to include a master's
degree in business administration as well as the program in elementary
education. In the spring of 1972, the Board of Regents approved the
addition of secondary options in the Master of Education program. The
Joint Graduate Studies Program has been fully accredited by the Southern
Association of Colleges and Schools, with its degree programs in Educa-
tion approved by the Georgia State Department of Education.

PURPOSE

The philosophical base of the Joint Graduate Studies Program is an
affirmation of the dignity and worth of the individual. Implicit in this
philosophy is a realization that modern man must be productive, articulate,
and proactive. The Program is dedicated to service through: educational
programs, community involvement, faculty and student research,
scholarship and creativity. By offering advanced preparation to those who
professionally serve the public schools, the Joint Graduate Studies Pro-
gram contributes to the development of teachers who possess the qualities
of character, commitment, and professional promise, and through these
teachers, to the children they serve. By offering advanced professional
training in management and administration, the Program serves individu-
als for positions of responsibility in business, industry, government and
education.-

15

ORGANIZATION AND ADMINISTRATION

The Joint Graduate Program is designed to insure the equal involvement
of the two Colleges in the administration of the program and the instruc-
tion offered within the program. Students are required to take one-half of
the courses in their degree programs at Savannah State College and
one-half of the courses at Armstrong State College. The graduate degrees,
bearing the signatures of both Presidents, are awarded jointly by the two
Colleges. The location of the graduation ceremonies alternates between
the two Colleges.

The policy-making body for the Joint Graduate Program is the Graduate
Council which is composed of representatives from both Colleges. Pro-
grams and general academic policies are approved by the Graduate Council
for recommendation to the Presidents. The combined resources of the
academic departments and libraries and the campus facilities of the two
Colleges are utilized in support of the Joint Graduate Program.

Administrative operations of the program are the responsibility of the
two Graduate Deans and of the Department Heads on the two campuses.
Each of the Graduate Deans serve a two-year term, on an alternating
basis, as the Coordinating Dean for Graduate Studies. The Heads of
Departments alternate on a yearly basis as Departmental Coordinators.
The various administrative officers of the two Colleges give further sup-
port to the program.

draw after a period of four weeks has elapsed from the scheduled
registration date will be entitled to no refund of any part of the fees
paid for that quarter.

DORMITORY FEES AT SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE

Students who occupy dormitory facilities at Savannah State College
should refer to the Savannah State general Bulletin for information on
fees and should contact the Office of Student Affairs at Savannah State for
assistance.

18

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

A limited number of graduate assistantships are available to qualified
students; these assistantships are awarded and administered by the indi-
vidual graduate departments of the two Colleges. Students may seek
information from the individual departments about assistantships but are
advised to make a formal request for an assistantship only after their
admission to the Graduate Program with Regular Admission status.

Students are invited to contact the Offices of Financial Aids at the two
Colleges for information on federal and state programs of financial assis-
tance to college students.

VETERANS BENEFITS

Both campuses provide graduate students with veteran's services
through Offices of Veterans Affairs. Information of interest to veterans
can be obtained by writing or calling the office of Veteran Affairs at either
Armstrong State College or Savannah State College.

Once accepted into the graduate program, the veteran should contact
one of the offices for processing instructions. Since processing time varies,
a first quarter student should expect a four to six week delay in receiving
the first benefit check. First quarter student veterans should consider this
delay when making financial arrangements to attend school.

For purposes of G.I. Bill benefits, ten (10) quarter hours is considered to
be a full load; a load of five (5) graduate quarter hours entitles the graduate
student to half-time benefits.

19

ADMISSION TO GRADUATE STUDIES

Graduate course work provides an opportunity for continuing profes-
sional growth and competency, for expanding professional and cultural
backgrounds, and for extending knowledge and understanding in an area
of specialty. Qualified students may take advantage of these educational
opportunities without necessarily seeking a degree, but admission to one of
the degree programs of the Joint Graduate Program is a serious academic
venture. Therefore, prospective students are expected to show evidence of
high academic achievement and potential. Students who enroll as degree-
seeking students must meet more rigorous admission standards than those
students who do not seek a master's degree.

REQUIREMENTS

Applicants desiring admission on a degree-seeking status must present
satisfactory undergraduate academic records and satisfactory scores on
appropriate admissions examinations. Some of the graduate degree pro-
grams have specialized test requirements, specified undergraduate course
requirements, or other requirements for degree-seeking students. Refer
to the departmental programs for specific information on these require-
ments.

General requirements for degree-seeking students include the fol-
lowing: applicants for the M.B.A. program must provide satisfactory
scores on the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT); applicants
for all M.Ed, programs must provide satisfactory scores on either the
Aptitude Test of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) or the Common
Examination of the National Teacher Examination (NTE). Satisfactory
undergraduate grades must be presented by all degree-seeking students.

Admission to some programs may require satisfactory scores on either
the appropriate area examination of the NTE or the appropriate advanced
test of the GRE. For details of such requirements, consult the appropriate
departmental entry in the catalogue or the Departmental Coordinator or
the Graduate Office.

Applications for the above examinations are usually available at the two
Colleges and will be given to students who come to the Colleges to obtain
them. Students who wish to write for an application form or to submit an
application for these examinations should contact: Educational Testing
Service, Princeton, New Jersey, 08540. Students should request that their
test scores be sent to the Graduate Studies Office, Armstrong State
College, Savannah, Georgia 31406.

CATEGORIES OF ADMISSION

Regular Admission
(a degree status classification)

DEFINITION

Regular Admission means that a student has met all admission require-
ments and is admitted to a degree program with full graduate status.

REQUIREMENTS

A student who has earned a baccalaureate degree from an accredited
college, who has completed all of the prerequisites for his planned graduate
field of study, and who meets the other requirements of the Graduate
Program may be admitted on Regular Admission status. These require-
ments include minimum undergraduate grade-point averages in combina-
tion with certain minimum test scores. For the M.B.A. program, these
grade point averages range from a minimum G.P. A. of 2.5 to a minimum of
3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) and must be combined with minimum test scores on the
GMAT. See the Business Administration departmental section of this
catalogue for specific requirements. For M.Ed, programs, a minimum
G.P. A. of 2.5 is required and a minimum test score of 550 on the NTE
Commons examination or 800 on the GRE Aptitude examination.

For area test scores required by any department, see the appropriate
departmental entry. Degree programs providing teacher certification
have other admission requirements, including: (1) a recommendation
from the school in which a student has been employed as a teacher or has
completed a student internship, and (2) eligibility for fourth level certifica-
tion in the field of study. (For further information on admission to certifica-
tion programs, consult the Graduate Office or the Education Departmental
Coordinator.)

Provisional Admission
(a degree status classification)

DEFINITION

Provisional Admission means that a student has applied for admission to
a degree program and has some condition placed on his status such as low
grades or test scores. The student is admitted to a degree program but
must meet certain conditions before achieving full graduate status (i.e.,
Regular Admission).

21

REQUIREMENTS

For Provisional Admission, a student must hold a baccalaureate degree
and meet the other admission requirements of the Graduate Program.
These requirements include minimum undergraduate grade point aver-
ages in combination with certain minimum test scores.

For the M.B.A. program these grade point averages range from a
minimum G.P.A. of 2.2 to a minimum of 2.7 and must be combined with
minimum test scores on the GMAT. See the Business Administration
departmental section of this catalogue for specific requirements.

For the M.Ed, programs, students who fail to meet Regular Admission
score requirements may be granted Provisional Admission if the combina-
tions of their G.P.A. and test scores conform to the following formulas:

GPA x 100 + NTE Common = 750 or more.
GPA x 100 + GRE Aptitude = 1000 or more.

In no case, however, may the G.P.A. be less than 2.2, the NTE less than
450, or the GRE less than 700.

For area test scores required by any department, see the appropriate
departmental entry.

Additional Stipulations for Provisional Admissions.

As with Regular Admission, recommendation forms and other aspects of
the Admissions Procedures must be adhered to.

Provisionally admitted students may be required to remove any specific
deficiencies that are ascertained by taking undergraduate supporting
courses before the students are allowed to attempt graduate courses
within the program to which they have been admitted. M.Ed, students
may remain admitted on a provisional basis until they have attempted 15
hours of approved graduate work. If they satisfactorily complete the
initial, approved 15 hours of graduate work with no grade less than a"B,"
- of which 10 hours must be in the professional sequence - and submit
the appropriate Area test score, if required, these students may submit a
written request, with advisor's endorsement, to move into Regular status.

Upon satisfying the Area test score, if required, and upon completing 25
hours of approved course work with a "B" average or better, of which 15
hours must be in the major field of study, any provisionally admitted
student (M.B.A. or M.Ed.) will be eligible for Regular status. If the
student does not have a "B" average or better upon completing these 25
hours of course work, he or she will be dropped as a degree-seeking
student.

22

Post Baccalaureate and Post Graduate Admission
(Nondegree status)

Post Baccalaureate or Post Graduate admission is provided for those
students who may not wish to pursue a graduate degree, including
teachers whose main purpose is to obtain credits necessary for teacher
certification and/or for students who may desire to enter a degree program
but who have missing data. Requirements for Post Baccalaureate Admis-
sion include documentary evidence of a baccalaureate degree and submis-
sion of necessary application papers. The student may also have to meet
specific prerequisites to enroll in courses in certain departments. Post
Graduate Admission requirements are the same except that a graduate
degree is required.

No more than fifteen (15) hours earned while enrolled as a Post
Graudate or Post Baccalaureate student may be applied toward a
M.Ed, degree and no more than ten (10) hours toward a M .B .A. degree.

A student admitted on non-degree status who wishes to be advanced to a
degree status category of admission bears the responsibility for:

1. Meeting all requirements for degree status which are in effect at the
time the student submits to the graduate office the required data
and documents for degree status.

2. Notifying the Graduate Admissions Office in writing of the intent and
desire to advance to degree status.

Action by the Graduate Admissions Office to advance a non-degree
student to a degree status category is contingent on the student meeting
the above responsibilities, and the student is cautioned to maintain a
careful check on his or her status.

TRANSIENT STUDENT

Transient students must arrange to have written authorization sent to
the Graduate Office from their dean, department head, or registrar at the
graduate school in which they are enrolled in order to be accepted as a
transient student and to register in the Joint Graduate Program. They
must also submit the application for admission form and the $10 fee as
described in the Admission Procedures. If they wish to become degree-
seeking students, they must request appropriate admission in writing and
must submit the necessary documents.

READMISSIONS

Any student in the Joint Graduate Program who did not matriculate
(i.e., register) during the quarter immediately preceding the quarter in
which he next intends to matriculate must process a readmission form with
the Registrar's Office. The only students exempted from this requirement

23

are those students who are initially admitted for graduate study in the
quarter immediately preceding the quarter of their first matriculation. For
further information, inquire at the Graduate Offices or Registrar's office.
(Note: through the Summer Quarter of 1980, the Registrar at Armstrong
State College will handle matriculations and readmissions for the Joint
Graduate Program.)

ADMISSION PROCEDURES

The Graduate Office at Armstrong State College is the graduate admis-
sions office. All admissions documents should be sent to this office for
processing; the application for admission, the compliance form, $10 fee,
and transcripts must reach the office 20 days prior to registration.

The following materials and procedures are part of the requirements for
admission to the Joint Graduate Studies Program.

1. The application-for-admission form and compliance form, available in
the Graduate Office at either College, must be completed and submit-
ted. Required of all applicants, 20 days prior to registration.

2. Three (3) official transcripts showing all college credits earned for the
undergraduate degree should be sent directly from the college which
awarded the degree to the Graduate Office at Armstrong State
College. Required of all applicants except transient students who
may submit letter of authorization from their graduate school (20
days prior to registration).

3. Test scores, as appropriate and as required for the major, must be
submitted. Required of degree-seeking students only.

4. Completed recommendation forms (2) must be submitted; these
forms are available in the two Graduate Offices. For applicants enter-
ing teacher certification programs, at least one (1) recommendation
must be from supervisory personnel who observed the student in a
teaching internship or as an employed teacher. These recom-
mendations are required of degree-seeking students only.

5. A ten dollar ($10) application fee is required of all students, except
graduates of Savannah State College and Armstrong State College.

All materials and documents should be submitted as soon as possible, but
items as noted above must arrive at least twenty (20) days prior to the
registration date of the quarter a student enrolls. Action can be taken on
applications for admission only after essential materials have been re-
ceived.

ADMISSION TO GRADUATE STUDY DOES NOT IMPLY AU-
TOMATIC ACCEPTANCE OF THE STUDENT AS A CANDIDATE
FOR ANY MASTER'S DEGREE. SEE SECTION ON CANDIDACY
FOR DEGREE.

24

ACADEMIC REGULATIONS

STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY

The student is charged with the responsibility for taking the initiative in
meeting all academic requirements and in maintaining a careful check on
his or her progress toward earning a degree. The student is responsible for
discharging his or her obligations to the business offices and the libraries
and for adhering to the rules and regulations appertaining to graduate
students in particular and to all students enrolled in a unit of the University
System of Georgia. Graduate student academic regulations are set forth in
this bulletin; for information regarding general regulations of students
using the property and facilities of Savannah State College or Armstrong
State College, refer to the general bulletins and student publications of the
two Colleges. It is the student's responsibility to abide by catalogue
requirements. A student's claim that he or she has been granted an
exception to these requirements must be documented before the merits of
the claim can be evaluated. Students should note carefully the regula-
tions in this chapter of the catalogue as well as in the admissions
chapter.

ACADEMIC ADVISEMENT

Upon admission to graduate study, each student will be referred to a
departmental coordinator or office for adviser assignment. Consultation
with the assigned adviser is required prior to registration. Each student
must process appropriate advisement papers which are available from his
or her assigned adviser and which provide the adviser clearance required
for registration.

Transient students report to the Graduate Office for advisement and
adviser clearance.

Post Baccalaureate and Post Graduate students obtain adviser clearance
by processing the non-degree advisement form with their assigned advis-
ers. During the quarter in which a Post Baccalaureate student achieves
degree-seeking status, he or she must process the Program of Study form.

Degree-seeking students, both Regular and Provisional Admissions
students, must process the Program of Study form with their assigned
adviser no later than the end of their first quarter of enrollment. A
temporary adviser clearance statement may be provided by the adviser
which will be valid only for the student's initial registration. This tempor-
ary clearance should be processed on non-degree advisement form, with
appropriate notations made to indicate that it is temporary.

25

The Program of Study shows the courses the student will take in his or
her degree program, transfer courses that might apply to the degree, and
prerequisite courses or other prerequisites. The Program of Study must be
followed by the student in fulfilling degree requirements. However, the
student can take courses additional to those on his Program of Study, and
he may enroll in the courses on his Program of Study during quarters other
than those which might be shown on his Program of Study form. Moreover,
the student may officially modify his Program of Study with the concurr-
ence of his adviser and other appropriate personnel by processing the form
for Modification of Program of Study. These forms are available from the
advisers.

Students should note that any departure from the catalogue re-
quirements for a degree must be approved by the Graduate Dean.

FOREIGN STUDENT ADVISEMENT

Specialized advisement is available for foreign students from the
Graduate Foreign Student Adviser, Dr. Kamalakar Raut, located in room
231, Griffin-Drew Science Hall, at Savannah State College. The mailing
address is P.O. Box 20397, Savannah State College, Savannah, Georgia,
31401.

REGISTRATION

Before a student may register for graduate courses in the Joint Graduate
Program he must be formally admitted as a graduate student (although 500
level courses may be taken by undergraduate students upon complying
with requirements and procedures stipulated by and available in the
Graduate Offices). If his circumstances require it, he must be readmitted
(see section on Admissions, paragraph on Readmissions). Through the
Summer Quarter of 1980, registration will occur on the Armstrong State
campus. In order to register, a student will be required to show at registra-
tion his admission confirmation and his advisor clearance forms.

TRANSFER OF GRADUATE CREDITS

A maximum of thirty (30) hours of credit may be transferred from
another institution, provided:

1. that each course equates with a course in the curriculum of the Joint
Graduate Program or is an acceptable elective.

2. that the credit was earned in an accredited graduate program.

3. that a grade of B or better was earned in each course.

4. that the credit was earned no more than six years prior to completion
of all degree requirements.

26

5. that no more than fifty percent of the required credits shall be
transferred for use towards a master's degree (i.e. , no more than 50%
of either the required professional education credits or other required
credits in M.Ed, programs).

For additional information on the amount of credit transferable for a
particular degree program, refer to the appropriate departmental entry.

PROCEDURES FOR PROCESSING TRANSFER CREDITS

Requests by students to receive transfer graduate credit must be sup-
ported by three (3) copies of the graduate transcript showing the credits
requested. The formal and final request for receiving transfer credit is part
of the Application for Candidacy which the student must process upon the
completion of 25 hours of graduate work. This application is obtained in the
Graduate Offices. The three (3) graduate transcripts should be sent to the
Savannah State Graduate Office.

Advisement on transfer of credit is routinely provided on the Program of
Study form which every degree-seeking student must complete with his
adviser in his first quarter of enrollment. Formal approval of transfer
credits is granted via the student's Application for Candidacy which re-
quires approval by the student's adviser and Department Coordinator and
by the Graduate Dean.

Prospective students may write to the Department Coordinator in their
area of study to obtain advisement on transfer of credit.

GRADUATE COURSES

Courses numbered 500 to 599 are open to both undergraduate and
graduate students. In such courses, the quantity and quality of work
required of the graduate students will be on the same level as that required
in those courses offered exclusively for graduates. Courses numbered 600
to 699 will be open only to graduate students. Candidates for master's
degrees must take at least fifty percent of their courses at the 600 level.

GRADUATE CLASS REGULATIONS AND SCHEDULES

Graduate classes are conducted in conformity with the general academic
policies of the Boara* of Regents and of the Joint Graduate Program and the
regulations of the Campus on which a given class is taught. Specific class
requirements, including attendance requirements and requirements for
grades are set by the instructor for each class.

The two sponsoring Colleges reserve the right to cancel classes and to
adjust class schedules.

27

GRADES AND GRADE POINT AVERAGES

In accordance with the policies of the Board of Regents, the Joint
Graduate Program is on a 4.0 grade point system. The only grades ap-
proved by the Board of Regents for computing the grade point averages of
students are: A 4, B 3, C 2, D 1, F 0, and WF (withdrew
failing) 0. The Board of Regents has also approved for uses other than for
computing grade point averages, the following symbols: I incomplete;
W withdrew without penalty; V audit; K credit for a course by
examination; and S satisfactory and U unsatisfactory which are appli-
cable only to theses, practicums, internships, and proficiency require-
ments.

In the Joint Graduate Program grades assigned are A, B, C, D, F
(failure), I (incomplete), W (withdrew with no penalty), and WF (withdrew
failing). The grade of W does not enter into computing a student's grade
point average.

Stipulations applicable to other symbols used in the Joint Graduate
Studies Program include:

I incomplete. May be awarded by an instructor, who will also stipulate
the conditions for its removal. Any grade of I which has not been removed
by completing the course after three (3) quarters of matriculating in
residence after the I was awarded shall become an automatic F; if the I has
not been removed within one calendar year after the I was awarded,
regardless of intervening matriculations, the I shall become an F.

W withdrawal without penalty. May be awarded by an instructor up to
the mid-quarter period in a course. Regents' policy stipulates that "With-
drawals without penalty will not be permitted after the mid-point of the
total grading period (including final examinations) except in cases of hard-
ship as determined by the appropriate official of the respective institu-
tion."

WF withdrew failing. May be awarded by an instructor anytime that a
student withdraws from a course after the drop/add period; mandatory
after midquarter except for hardship cases as stipulated above for grades
ofW.

V audit. Use of this symbol is subject to the discretion of the individual
joint graduate departments, and the departments may require that a
student receive the permission of the instructor to audit a course prior to
registering for the course. Moreover, an auditing student must pay the
usual fees, must register for the course, and may not transfer from audit
to credit status (or vice versa).

S and U satisfactory and unsatisfactory; see above. Specific courses
receiving these grades are identified in departmental course listings.
Comprehensive examinations are given these grades also.

28

K credit by examination. Use of this symbol is subject to the discretion of
the individual joint graduate departments.

Students expecting to receive grades of V or K must insure that they are
enrolled in an appropriate course or activity for which V or K grades are
awarded by the appropriate department. If this catalogue does not show in
the departmental entries that the given departments have authorized the
use of V or K, then a student expecting to receive V in a course should
obtain written verification from the appropriate instructor prior to regis-
tering for the course that V will be awarded.

Grade point averages are calculated on all graduate work attempted.

ACADEMIC PROBATION AND STANDING

Any student who falls below a 3.0 (B) average shall be on academic
probation.

Any student who is admitted to Provisional Admission status and who
does not achieve a 3.0 average or better upon completing 25 hours shall be
dropped as a degree student and be placed on non-degree status. Any
Regular Admission student who has less than a 3.0 average after complet-
ing 25 or more hours shall be placed on "regular admission probation
status" and shall be required to achieve grades of B or better in all courses
in order to maintain this status and must achieve a 3.0 average in order to
return to Regular Admission status. Any student on "regular
admission probation status" who earns less than a B in any course or who
accumulates 75 hours while still on this status shall be dropped as a degree
student and shall be placed on non-degree status.

COURSE LOAD LIMITATION

A full-time graduate student is expected to carry no more than fifteen
(15) hours per quarter. The course load for employed students should be
appropriately reduced in consultation with their advisers. Students on
academic probation or on Provisional Admissions status should carefully
plan their course loads in consultation with their advisers.

WITHDRAWAL, DROPPING COURSES, AND
ADDING COURSES

Withdrawal is, in the technical sense, dropping all courses and process-
ing a formal withdrawal through the Office of Graduate Studies which
issues a withdrawal form. A student may withdraw from school (or drop a
single course) at any time during the quarter. Only by formally withdraw-
ing, however, can a student become eligible for the refund of fees as
explained in the section on fees. The student bears the responsibility of
contacting the graduate office to effect a withdrawal and of contacting his
professor(s) to determine what grade(s) he will receive (W or WF). In

29

order to expedite any refund due, the student must initiate his withdrawal
on the same campus where he paid fees.

Dropping a course should also be formalized through the Graduate Office
which will process a drop/add slip. If a student is taking only one course,
the drop becomes, technically, a withdrawal, and a refund may be due. The
student is responsible for contacting his instructor concerning the grade he
will receive (W,WF).

Adding a course may be accomplished through the Registrar's Office
which will process a drop/add slip. Courses may be added only during the
late registration days at the beginning of the quarter and not at any other
time during the quarter. The student must pay the appropriate fee for the
additional course, unless a course comparable in credit hours is being
dropped simultaneously.

ADMINISTRATIVE WITHDRAWALS

The Graduate Offices reserve the right to effect the withdrawal of any
student at any time during his course of studies if he does not meet his
financial obligations or the required standards of scholarship, or if he
cannot remain in the program without endangering his own health or the
health of others, or if he fails in any way to meet the standards of the Joint
Graduate Program.

CATES COURSES

Savannah State College and Armstrong State College participate in the
Coastal Area Teacher Education Service, a consortium of area public
school systems and institutions of the University System of Georgia offer-
ing graduate and undergraduate courses in teacher education.

A student who wishes to apply CATES course credit to his degree
program must obtain approval from his adviser to take a course for degree
credit pri or to taking the course. Without this prior approval, the course is
subject to being treated as a transfer course, in which case, the Transfer of
Graduate Credits policies and procedures described in this Bulletin will be
followed.

30

DEGREES AND GENERAL
DEGREE REQUIREMENTS

DEGREES OFFERED

The following degrees are offered in the Joint Graduate Studies Pro-
gram:

Master of Business Administration
Master of Education in Business Education
Master of Education in Biology
Master of Education in Chemistry
Master of Education in Elementary Education
Master of Education in Early Childhood Education
Master of Education in Special Education Behavior Disorders
Master of Education in English

Master of Education in Mathematics (Not active at present time)
Master of Education in History
Master of Education in Political Science

(English, History, and Political Science are available as options without
teacher-certification requirements)

The sponsoring colleges have approved the addition of Master of Educa-
tion degree programs in Industrial Arts Education and Science Education,
and of Master of Science degree programs in Chemistry and Criminal
Justice. Approval of these degree programs is pending action by the Board
of Regents of the University System of Georgia. Any student interested in
one of these programs should request further information on the status of
the program from the Office of Graduate Studies at either Savannah State
College or Armstrong State College.

TIME LIMITATION

Students working toward a master's degree must complete all require-
ments for the degree within a period of not more than six years from the
date of first enrollment. Extension of time may be granted by the Graduate
Council, upon recommendation of the student's major department, but
only in cases of unusual circumstances.

COURSE AND RESIDENCE REQUIREMENTS

Satisfactory completion of at least sixty (60) quarter hours of graduate
credit is necessary for the Master of Education degree, and a minimum of
thirty (30) quarter hours must be earned in residence. Courses to be
counted for residence may be accumulated on a full-time or part-time basis.

31

Satisfactory completion of at least sixty (60) quarter hours of approved
graduate credits is required for the Master of Business Administration
degree, and a minimum of thirty (30) quarter hours must be earned in
residence.

Students should note that the sixty hour requirement is a minimum
requirement. Degree students with academic weaknesses should recog-
nize that they may have to complete more than sixty hours to fulfill all
curriculum requirements and comply with all academic regulations.

BALANCE OF COURSES

Two forms of balance in accumulating courses must be adhered to by
degree-seeking students. First, at least fifty percent (50%) of the courses
earned for a degree must be at the 600 level.

Second, fifty percent (50%) of the courses applied to a degree must be
earned at each of the two Colleges (Savannah State and Armstrong State).
This balance of courses between the two Colleges includes a 50-50 balanc-
ing of the required courses and a 50-50 balancing of the elective courses in
each degree program. Minor deviations from this strict 50-50 balancing of
courses may be allowed where an odd number of courses in either the
required or the elective category or in both categories requires the devia-
tion. The departmental degree program descriptions identify the 600 level
courses and provide additional guidance on balancing courses.

DEGREE CANDIDACY

Upon successful completion of twenty-five quarter hours of graduate
work taken in residence and at least one quarter prior to making appli-
cation for the degree, the student is required to file an application for
admission to candidacy. The student will submit the completed application
to his adviser. These application forms are available in the Graduate
Offices on both campuses.

Approval of the application will be based upon verification that the
student:

1. has been admitted to full graduate status (i.e., Regular Admission).

2. has maintained a minimum of a "B" average in all work attempted.

APPLICATION FOR THE DEGREE

At the time specified on the academic calendar, the student must file an
application for the appropriate master's degree with his major depart-
ment. Note that the application for the degree must be preceded by the
application for candidacy by at least one quarter. Application forms are
available in the Graduate Offices.

32

THIRTY HOUR PLAN FOR A SECOND MASTER'S DEGREE

Students who have already earned a master's degree can, under certain
circumstances, earn a second master's degree in the Joint Graduate Pro-
gram by completing as little as 30 quarter hours of graduate work in
residence. Essential elements of the second master's degree plan are:

1 . All general requirements (e.g., Regular Admission status , adherence
to general academic regulations, "B" average, comprehensive
examinations, etc.) and all specific curricular requirements (i.e.,
departmental prerequisites for courses, specific courses, etc.) cur-
rently applicable to a master's degree will apply to the second degree
sought, except as explicity noted below:

2. For the Second master's degree:

A. The student must take at least 30 quarter hours in residence
additional to course work that was used in fulfilling requirements
for a previous master's degree. Additional hours may be neces-
sary in order to fulfill curricular requirements or for such pur-
poses as teacher certification in programs designed as Approved
Programs for Georgia State Certification.

B. The 30 (or more) hours in residence must meet existing require-
ments on recency of credit. For the other hours, (hours applied to
both the first degree and to the second degree), fifteen hours will
have no age limit, but the remaining hours must be no more than
twelve years old when requirements for the second master's
degree are completed.

C. A curriculum plan for a second degree that is consistent with
existing catalogue plans must be prepared by a department head
or by a graduate adviser with his or her department head's en-
dorsement. A copy of this plan will be sent to both graduate offices
and will be given to the student. For this purpose, current ad-
visement forms, with appropriate modifications may be used. The
plan must show the 30 (or more) hours to be taken in residence and
the previous graduate hours that are to apply to the second
degree.

SUMMARY OF GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
FOR THE MASTER'S DEGREE

General regulations for obtaining a master's degree from the Joint
Graduate Studies Program are summarized as follows:

1. Admission to full graduate status (i.e., Regular Admission).

2. Admission to candidacy for the degree.

3. Satisfactory completion of at least sixty (60) quarter hours of ap-
proved graduate level course work.

33

4. Meeting certification requirements for M. Ed. programs (some M.Ed,
programs may have an option for no certification).

5. Maintenance of "B" average.

6. Satisfactory completion of a comprehensive examination.

7. Filing an application for the degree at the time specified.

TEACHER CERTIFICATION

Although some M.Ed, degree programs have an option for no certifica-
tion most of these degrees are designed to comply with the requirements
for teacher certification at the fifth level in the various areas of specializa-
tion. The degree ordinarially is granted only to students who qualify for
T-5 certification (or equivalent certification for other states), which in turn
entails meeting T-4 certification requirements (Georgia). Students who
use graduate credits to meet T-4 certification requirements may be re-
quired to take graduate courses beyond the 60 hours required for the
M.Ed, degree in order to meet T-5 certification requirements. Since the
M.Ed, programs require 60 hours, which is 15 more than the 45 minimum
required for the T-5 by the State Education Department, 15 of the 60
graduate hours may be used to fulfill T-4 certification requirements. How-
ever, none of the 15 hours so used can then be applied toward meeting the
45 hours specified for the T-5.

Detailed information concerning programs and procedures relating to
graduate teacher certification may be obtained from the Office of Graduate
Studies or from the Department of Education at either College.

NON CERTIFICATION M.Ed. PROGRAMS

Building on the basic, academic structure of the typical M.Ed, degree
programs, departments may offer M.Ed, programs without applying all of
the stipulations for certification programs. The curriculum essentials of a
non-certification degree program are:

At least fifteen hours of education course work.

At least twenty five hours of major area course work.

At least five hours of free electives.

Such programs do not meet certification requirements by the State of
Georgia.

Program of Study Leading to the Degree
Master of Business Administration

OBJECTIVE

The Master of Business Administration degree program is designed to
give candidates a broad background of advanced professional training in
organizational management.

ASMISSION REQUIREMENTS

In addition to general admission requirements and procedures for all
graduate programs stated earlier in this bulletin, more specific require-
ments for admission to the MBA program are given below:

All applicants for admission to the MBA program are required to take
the Graduate Management Admissions Test. This test is administered at
Savannah State College and at other testing centers once each quarter.
The test is designed to measure aptitude for graduate study in business
and is not a measure of knowledge in specific subjects. Therefore, appli-
cants should not delay taking this examination simply because they have
not had specific course work in business.

REGULAR ADMISSION

To qualify for admission to full graduate status in the MBA program,
applicants must show competence in the common business core of knowl-
edge, which requires a basic understanding of accounting, economics,
finance, management, marketing, and statistics. Students who have re-
ceived a bachelor's degree in business generally have fulfilled this re-
quirement, but students with degrees in other disciplines will need pre-
paratory work in these areas before beginning MBA course work. The
preparatory requirements may be met by the satisfactory completion of
not less than one course (equivalent to 5 quarter hours or 3 semester hours)
in each of the following areas:

Accounting (Principles, Managerial, or Cost)

Economics (Micro and Macro Principles)

36

Finance (Business, Corporate, or Managerial

Management (Principles)

Marketing (Principles)

Statistics (Elements of)

Normally, thirty hours of preparatory work will be the maximum re-
quired, but students should recognize that one course in accounting and
one course in economics will provide only a minimum level of preparation
for graduate course work. A better preparation could easily improve the
performance in related graduate courses by one letter grade or even two.

These preparatory requirements may be satisfied by taking appropriate
courses on campus, or by correspondence, or by scoring not less than the
fifieth percentile on the appropriate subject examination(s) of the CLEP
(College Level Examination Program). The CLEP examinations are avail-
able through the testing services of either College.

In addition to appropriate preparatory work, regular admission status
requires that one of the following admission standards be met:

1. An undergraduate grade point average of 2.5 and a score of not less
than 450 on the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) or

2. An undergraduate grade point average of 3.0 and a score of not less
than 400 on the GMAT, or

3. An undergraduate grade point average of 2.75 and a score of not less
than 425 on the GMAT, or other combinations of grade point averages
between 2.5 and 3.0 in conjunction with GMAT scores between 450
and 400 on an inverse scale.

PROVISIONAL ADMISSION

Provisional admission will be granted to those applicants who meet all
the requirements for regular admission with the exception of preparatory
course work. Upon satisfactory completion of the prerequisite courses, the
conditional status will be removed and regular admission status will be
accorded.

Provisional Admission may also be granted to a limited number of
applicants who fail to meet the admission standards for regular admission
but, nevertheless, present evidence of a reasonable prospect of success in
the program. For this category of admission applicants must have, in
addition to appropriate preparatory work, one of the following:

1. An undergraduate grade point average of 2.2 and a score of not less
than 425 on the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), or

2. An undergraduate grade point average of 2.7 and a score of not less
than 375 on the Graduate Management Admission Test, or

37

3. Other combinations of grade point averages between 2.2 and 2.7 in
conjunction with GMAT scores between 425 and 375 on an inverse
scale.

Upon completion of twenty-five hours of graduate course work with a
"B" average, the Provisional Admission status will be changed to regular
admission, providing the course prerequisite requirements for Regular
Admission have been satisfied. Failure to maintain a "B" average in the
first twenty-five hours of graduate work will result in being dropped as a
degree-status student.

ADMISSION STATUS AS A
PREREQUISITE TO MBA COURSES

Stipulations and problems related to the pursuit of graduate study in the
business administration courses are such that students should meet those
conditions identified above under either the Regular or the Provisional
Admissions categories in order to enroll in any MBA courses. Post Bac-
calaureate admission status offers little opportunity for graduate study in
business administration and is granted to MBA students primarily to
identify applicants who have not yet submitted a satisfactory GMAT score
or a satisfactory G.P.A. or have not completed the preparatory courses.

ADVISEMENT

Upon admission to the graduate program, each student will be assigned
a faculty adviser. The faculty adviser will approve the scheduling of course
work, recommend the student for candidacy, and serve as chairman of the
student's comprehensive examination committee.

Education-Behavior Disorders.

With Programs or Courses Leading to Masters Level Certification for:

Early Childhood Education K-4

Elementary Education 4-8 (Middle School)

Special Education 9-12 (Secondary Education,

Supervising Teacher Specific Areas)

Reading Specialist

OBJECTIVES

The M. Ed. degrees are designed to provide T-5 certification according to
levels and specific areas as stipulated by the Georgia State Department of
Education. Degree programs for specific, secondary areas of certification
such as history, English, biology, etc. are described in the chapters of this
catalogue devoted to these content areas. The education department par-

58

ticipates in each such program but also offers by itself several programs
leading to certification, such as Special Education-Behavior Disorders,
Reading Specialist, etc. The education department heads can provide
guidance for meeting the certification requirements for newer categories
of certification (K-4 and 4-8).

By offering advanced preparation to those who professionally serve in
schools, the Colleges hope to aid in the development of teachers who
possess the highest qualities of character, commitment, and professional
competence. This aim will be facilitated by (1) encouraging the student to
do scholarly study in advanced professional, specialized and general educa-
tion subject matter; (2) helping the student become acquainted with the
most recent research developments in child developments in child growth
and development and the latest trends in curriculum; (3) deepening his
appreciation for performance in scientific investigation and research; and
(4) promoting personal and professional maturity of the student that will
be reflected in his relationships as he goes about his work in the community
and in the field of education.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Students entering the elementary education, the early childhood, and
the special education programs must satisfy all general admission re-
quirements of the Joint Graduate Program. Elementary and early child-
hood education students must submit scores on both the "Commons" and
the area examinations of the National Teacher Examinations (NTE).

ADVISEMENT

Shortly after admission each student will be assigned an adviser in the
Department of Education. As soon as he is notified of this assignment, the
student should schedule an appointment with his adviser to determine any
conditions and specific requirements the student must meet in order to
complete both his degree and certification objectives.

TRANSFER COURSES

Students should note carefully the general sections on Transfer of
Graduate Credits and Academic Advisement on pages 26 and 25 and must
adhere to these requirements; students should also note requirements for
CATES courses on page 30.

COURSE REQUIREMENTS
ELEMENTARY EDUCATION PROGRAMS

The Department of Education offers several specialization programs
under the aegis of the M.Ed, degree in elementary education. These

59

specialized programs of study provide, in addition to the graduate major in
elementary education which leads to T-5 certification in this area, opportu-
nity for students to qualify for certain other kinds of certification. Students
should inquire at the Department of Education for certification oppor-
tunities provided by these specialized programs.

Graduate students majoring in elementary education must complete a
minimum of sixty quarter hours of approved courses. These hours are
divided as follows: Professional Sequence 20 hours; Specialization
Courses 25 hours; and Approved Electives 15 hours. One course in
reading must be taken if not taken previously as well as an appropriate
course in exceptional children if not taken previously.

The specialized content courses for elementary education may be chosen
from the following areas: art and music; foreign languages; health and
physical education; languages arts, including reading, literature, speech,
linguistics; mathematics and science; and the social studies. Educational
background, types of teaching experience, specific needs, interests and the
goals of students will be the deterinants for staff advisement in student
selection of content areas. Upon the basis of the foregoing factors, students
may choose specialized courses from two or from several of the content
areas.

COMPREHENSIVE EXAMINATION

A committee of the faculty of the Joint Graduate Education Department
will administer an oral examination to all candidates for the Master's
degree. The chairman of the examining committee will be the student's
adviser. The student and his adviser will select the other two members of
the examining committee. This committee will have at least one represen-

64

tative from each of the two campuses. The committee should also have a
representative from one of the content areas on the student's degree plan.

The chairman will select, in consultation with the student, the date,
time, and place for the examination and will report this information and the
results of the examination to the Coordinator.

The Coordinator shall notify the Deans for Graduate Studies ten days
prior to the examination concerning the proposed place, data and time of
the examination and the composition of the Committee. The result of the
examination will be reported to the Deans for Graduate Studies within
three days after the examination.

Program of Study Leading to the Degree
Master of Education in English

OBJECTIVES

The Department of English, in cooperation with the Department of
Education, offers two programs of study leading to the Master of Educa-
tion degree with concentrations in English, one a certifiable option and one
a non-certifiable option. The objectives of the certifiable program of study
are:

1. To upgrade the teaching of secondary school English by increasing
the competencies of English teachers in the areas of linguistics,
composition, and literature;

2. To enable teachers of English in Secondary schools to pursue study
that will enrich their skills, knowledge, and understanding in the
teaching of language, composition, and literature;

72

3. To provide opportunities for professional growth and cultural en-
richment for individuals holding the bachelor's degree but having no
further degree or citification objectives;

4. To enable teachers of English in secondary schools to qualify for the
T-5 certificate.

The English Department also offers a non-certifiable M.Ed, degree with
some different objectives and requirements.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

All students entering the M.Ed, program in English must present, in
addition to the general requirements, the Graduate Record Examination
Advanced Test in Literature and English, although no minimum score is
prescribed.

ADVISEMENT

Each student admitted to the program in English will be assigned an
academic adviser from the English Department and a professional adviser
from the Education Department. As soon as the student is. notified of this
assignment, he should arrange for a conference with his advisers.

III. Elective Course 5

Because the courses in the teaching of reading and in exceptional children are required
for certification, a student must present at least one of these as part of his undergraduate

73

record before he will be admitted to candidacy for the M.Ed, degree in English or must
present the equivalent graduate course in addition to the sixty (60) hours normally
required in the M.Ed, program.

COMPREHENSIVE EXAMINATION

Each candidate for the Master of Education degree with a concentration
in English must pass a written comprehensive examination. The com-
prehensive examination will be based on the reading list in language and
literature which must be secured by the student at the time of his matricu-
lation. The student may choose to be examined under any reading list in
force during the time of his enrollment. Copies of the reading list are
available in the office of the Coordinator. For more specific information
concerning the comprehensive examination, contact the Coordinator.

The comprehensive examination covers two areas: 1) literature before
1800 and 2) literature after 1800. The separate examinations are to be
taken in the course of the student's program, preferably before the last
quarter. At least one of the tests in literature will include a question
concerning bibliographical and research procedures. The student must
pass both examinations in order to receive his degree. After two unsuc-
cessful attempts at any one part of the examination, a student may not
apply to repeat that section for at least two quarters during which he may
do guided study to take recommended courses in order to make up his
deficiencies. In light of the comprehensive requirements, the student is
strongly urged to take an additional course in linguistics. Except for the
stipulation that he must wait at least two quarters if he fails any examina-
tion twice, there is no limit on the number of times that a student may take
an examination. Examination results are designated S or U.

The Coordinator shall notify the student and the Deans for Graduate
Studies ten days prior to the examination concerning the proposed place,
date and time of the examination and the composition of the committee.
The result of the examination will be reported to the Deans for Graduate
Studies within seven days after the examination.

Programs of Study Leading to the Degree

Master of Education in History

and in Political Science

I. M.Ed. PROGRAMS LEADING TOWARD CERTIFICATION (T-5)
IN HISTORY AND IN POLITICAL SCIENCE

OBJECTIVES

The objectives of the graduate programs in history and in political
science are:

1. To increase the academic and professional skills, the competence and
the enthusiasm of secondary teachers in history and political science
and in social studies generally.

2. To increase the teacher's knowledge and understanding of the nature
and conditions of learning and the learner, at the same time making

76

the teacher aware of the major features and problems of secondary
education in the American social order.

3. To accomplish these objectives by working jointly in a situation
reflective of the racial and social make-up of American society and, in
so doing, to provide a context in which teachers themselves may
develop personally as well as academically.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Students entering the M.Ed, program in history or in political science
must satisfy all general admission requirements of the Joint Graduate
Studies Program, including the requirement that the GRE Aptitude or
NTE Common, and an appropriate advanced or area test, be completed
prior to full admission. The results of these examinations will then serve as
a basis for academic advisement.

Students must also satisfy a prerequisite of 15 quarter hours of under-
graduate work in the major discipline before any course in that discipline
can be taken for graduate credit.

See section below on "Use of Electives" for further
information on hours in the major field.

D. General Requirements.

Use of Electives

The flexibility provided by the 10 hours of "Approved Electives" normally makes it
possible to meet the other program guidelines within a 60-hour total. But, students should
be aware, for example, that counting both graduate and undergraduate classwork, they
are required to have a total of at least 30 hours in their major teaching area (i,e. , American
or European History, or American Government). There may also be areas where under-
graduate preparation was weak or unavailable, such as professional education, non-
western traditions, etc. Such problems can best be solved on an individual basis with the
help of the faculty adviser.

Students should be aware that regardless of their major, state certification criteria
recommend that social studies teachers include in their programs preparation in the
following: American history and government, conflicting ideologies, the modern world,
Western heritage, and non- Western traditions.

and POLITICAL SCIENCE

TRANSFER OF CREDIT

Students who have earned graduate credits at one or more accredited
institutions may, under certain circumstances, transfer a limited number
of quarter hours of such credits to be applied toward the M.Ed, degree
programs in history and political science. Such transfer of credits is hand-
led on an individual basis and requires the written approval of the student's
adviser and the Coordinator.

ADVISEMENT

Shortly after his admission to the program in either history or political
science, each student should contact the Coordinator to secure an adviser.
As soon as he is notified of his assigned adviser, the student should arrange
for a conference with his adviser and begin planning his degree program.
Failure by the student to consult regularly with his adviser may greatly
lengthen the time necessary to complete the program. Each student should
feel free to consult his adviser as often as is necessary.

COMPREHESIVE EXAMINATION

An integral part of the graduate experience is the achievement of a
comprehensive understanding of the analytical skills and of the current
state of knowledge and scholarship basic to one's field. It is the purpose of
the Comprehensive Examination both to demonstrate this understanding
and to aid in further synthesizing its many aspects. Thus, the examination
itself should be in part a new experience, producing new insights and not
merely a rehearsal of previous ones.

Satisfactory performance on comprehensive examinations, both the re-
quired written and the optional oral, will be required of all degree candi-
dates. Candidates should notify their major porfessor and the Coordinator
of the program of their readiness to be examined at the time they apply for
the degree i.e. , no later than mid-term of their next-to-final quarter. At
this time the specific fields and reading list to be covered will be defined,
the make-up of the examining committee determined, and the date of the
exam set. The examination normally occurs before mid-term of the stu-
dent's final quarter.

The Coordinator shall notify the student and the Deans for Graduate
Studies ten days prior to the examination concerning the proposed place,
date, and time of the examination and the composition of the Committee.
The result of the examination will be reported to the Deans for Graduate
Studies within three days after the examination.

The Coordinator will notify the student regarding the result of the
examinations. The examination papers and/or comments of the examining

80

committee will become part of the student's permanent file in the Depart-
ment, and the student may request a conference with his major professor
and advisers for the purpose of reviewing the examination papers.

A student may repeat the Comprehensive Examinations as many times
as necessary to demonstrate the required level of competence.

BALANCE OF COURSES

Students will fulfill the balance of courses requirement by taking one half
of their required courses and one half of their elective courses at each of the
two colleges.

Each College offers an almost equal number of courses every quarter.
Courses to be offered at the two Colleges during the 1978-1979 and 1979-
1980 academic years are listed below. Other courses are authorized in the
curriculum and are listed in the following sections on graduate courses in
history and in political science. These courses may be offered on demand.

COMPREHENSIVE EXAMINATION

Certain courses in the M.Ed, degree program in mathematics are desig-
nated as "core" courses because they contain many of the concepts most
basic and useful to a teacher in junior or senior high school. The core
courses are Mathematics 501, 502, 505, 510, and 530.

An integral part of the graduate program is the attainment of the kind of
comprehensive understanding of these concepts which can be achieved by
their re-examination in the light of experience and insight obtained from
the completion of the courses in the program. The mathematics graduate
faculty also considers that the crystallization of knowledge to be gained
from remastering fundamental topics with the benefit of a broadened
viewpoint is of great value.

Accordingly, each recipient of the Master of Education degree in Math-
ematics is required to have successfully demonstrated the attainment of
such knowledge and such understanding on a written comprehensive
examination. The following regulations govern the administration of the
comprehensive examination in mathematics.

1 . Comprehensive E xaminations will be held during the Fall and Spring
Quarters, on the third Monday of November and April, respectively.
The coordinator shall notify the students and the Deans for Graduate
Studies, at least ten days prior to the examination, concerning the
place and time of day of the examination.

2. Students must register with the Mathematics Coordinator stating
their intention to take the Comprehensive Examination. The dead-
line for registering for the Comprehensive Examination is two
months before the date of the Examination. The registering students
will receive within one week of this deadline the list of topics for which
they will be responsible on the examination.

3. The Examinations Committee of the Joint Graduate Mathematics
Faculty will be responsible for constructing exams, administering
them, grading them, and making recommendations to the Joint
Graduate Mathematics Faculty concerning success or failure on the
examinations. The Joint Graduate Mathematics Faculty shall make
the final decision on success or failure. The result of the examination
will be reported to the Deans for Graduate Studies within seven days
after the examination.
