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. 16 FEES, REFUNDS, & FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ALL FEES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE AT THE END OF ANY QUARTER. APPLICATION FEE An application fee of $10.00 is paid by each graduate student at the time of initial application for admission. This fee is not required of graduates from either Armstrong State College or Savannah State College. The acceptance of the application fee does not constitute acceptance of the student into the graduate program. This fee, which is paid at Armstrong State College, is not refundable. MATRICULATION FEE The matriculation fee for part-time students is $12.00 per quarter hour; thus, the matriculation fee for one five (5) hour course is $60.00. Students carrying 12 credit hours or more will pay $145.00. OUT-OF-STATE TUITION Non-residents of Georgia carrying 12 credit hours or more must pay a fee of $238.00 per quarter in addition to all regular fees. Students carrying less than 12 credit hours in a quarter who are not legal residents of the State of Georgia will pay at the rate of $20.00 per quarter hour for out-of-state tuition, in addition to matriculation fees. For residency requirements as established by the Board of Regents, see the Bulletin and General Catalogue of Armstrong State College. STUDENT ACTIVITY FEE All students enrolled for six quarter hours or more must pay an Activity Fee of $15.00 per quarter. ATHLETIC FEE All students must pay an Athletic Fee of $8.00 per quarter. 17 LATE REGISTRATION FEE A late registration fee of $4.00 will be charged to students registering on the date listed in the catalogue as the date on which classes begin. A fee of $5.00 will be charged for registrations completed on the date listed in the catalogue as the "last day to register for credit." GRADUATION FEE Each candidate for graduation must pay a graduation fee of $27.50 prior to his or her graduation. This fee must be paid at Savannah State College. For further information, inquire at the Graduate Offices. REFUNDS Refund of the matriculation fee and of non-resident tuition will be made only upon written application for withdrawal from school. No refunds are made for simply dropping a course. Refunds must be processed by the College at which fees were paid. Privilege fees are not refundable. Both Colleges follow the refund policy of the Board of Regents as stated below: Students who formally withdraw on the date of scheduled registra- tion or during one week following the scheduled registration date are entitled to a refund of 80% of the fees paid for that quarter. Students who formally withdraw during the period between one and two weeks after the scheduled registration date are entitled to a refund of 60% of the fees paid for that quarter. Students who formally with- draw between two and three weeks after the scheduled registration date are entitled to a refund of 40% of the fees paid for that quarter. Students who formally withdraw during the period between three and four weeks after the scheduled registration date are entitled to a refund of 20% of the fees paid for that quarter. Students who with- 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. 20 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. 34 DEPARTMENT: PROGRAMS AND COURSES Departmental requirements covering admissions, prerequisite courses, and other aspects of the programs of study are described in this section of the Bulletin. PROGRAM COORDINATORS For each program of study, the department head on one campus serves as the Coordinator. The Coordinators alternate on a yearly basis between Armstrong State College and Savannah State College and commence their service in September of the year. The Departmental Coordinators for the 1978-1979 year are: Business Administration: Dr. Mary Torian (SSC). Business Education: Dr. Thomas Eason (ASC). Biology: Dr. Leslie Davenport (ASC). Chemistry: Dr. Willie Tucker (SSC). Education: Dr. William Stokes (ASC). English: Dr. Luetta Milledge (SSC). History and Political Science: Dr. Roger Warlick (ASC). Mathematics: Dr. Richard Summerville (ASC). COURSES Graduate courses are listed and described in each departmental section. The following course numbering system is used: courses numbered 500-599 may be taken by undergraduate or graduate students and, in some cases, are courses that are cross-listed as both 400 and 500 courses. Courses numbered 600-699 or higher are for graduate students only. Each course listed shows the departmental identification, the course number, the course name, a code number and the campus location. The code number indicates: with the first number, the hours of lecture per week, with the second number the hours of lab per week; and with the third number the quarter hours of credit for the course. Example: Chemistry 522. Inorganic Chemistry (3-0-0). Statements on prerequisites, campus location and descriptions follow the course numbers. 35 BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION FACULTY Dr. Thomas R. Eason, Department Head, (ASC); Dr. Mary Torian, Department Head, (SSC); Dr. Alban (ASC); Dr. Anderson (SSC); Dr. Bhatia (ASC); Dr. Hall (ASC); Dr. Laburtis (ASC); Dr. Lamb (ASC); Dr. McCarthy (ASC); Dr. O'Keefe (SSC); Dr. Richards (ASC); and Dr. Singh (SSC). Coordinator 1978-1979 Dr. Mary Torian 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. 38 COURSE REQUIREMENTS The Master of Business Administration program requires forty-five quarter hours of core course requirements and an additional fifteen quar- ter hours of electives from graduate course offerings.

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. Quarter Hours I.

Coordinator 1978-1979 Dr. Luetta Milledge 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.

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. 74 Graduate Courses in English Graduate admission status is prerequisite to enrollment in any graduate course in English.

Coordinator 1978-1979 Dr. Roger Warlick 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. COURSE REQUIREMENTS FOR CERTIFICATION PROGRAMS A. Major in History The typical history program for those students already holding a T-4 certificate in an appropriate field is outlined below: Quarter Hours Minimum 1. History Courses 30 2. Professional Education Courses 20 EDN 622 Nature and Conditions of Human Learning, (SSC) or EDN 621 Advanced Studies in Human Growth & Development plus EDN 631 Social Foundations of Education (ASC) plus EDN 641 Curriculum Planning (SSC) plus EDN 671 Educational Research (ASC) 3. Approved Electives 10 An appropriate course in exceptional children (e.g., EXC 522) must be taken if not taken previously. TOTAL 60 B. Major in Political Science. The typical political science program for those students already holding a T-4 certificate in an appropriate field is outlined below: 1. Political Science Courses 30 These courses must include 5 hours in each of the following areas: a. American government and public policy. b. Comparative politics. c. International relations and foreign policy. d. Political theory. 77 2. Professional Education Courses 20 Same as Professional Education courses for History. EDN 621 or EDN 622 plus EDN 631 plus EDN 641, plus EDN 671 3. Approved Electives 10 Appropriate course in exceptional children (e.g., EXC 522) must be taken if not taken previously. TOTAL 60 C. Special program (for students without T-4 certification). Students without prior certifica- tion may need 70-80 hours to complete the M.Ed, program in either History or Political Science. An illustrative program is shown below, but the student will need individual guidance. 1. Professional Education 40 a. Foundations Courses 10 EDN 611, EDN 622, EDN 631 b. Methods and Curriculum 10 EDN 641 and others c. Educational Research EDN 671 5 d. Student teaching or equivalent on-the-job experience workshops, etc 10 e. Electives 5 2. History or Political Science Courses 30 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. II. M.Ed. PROGRAMS IN HISTORY AND POLITICAL SCIENCE (WITHOUT CERTIFICATION) ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS Besides the general admission requirements of the Joint Graduate Studies Program, students who desire to obtain an M.Ed, in history or political science without certification are required to take the GRE area test in history or political science and obtain a minimum score of 450 in history or 410 in political science to gain full admission to the program (Regular Admission status). A student who does not meet the minimum 78 score on the area examination will be required to take two recommended undergraduate courses on the 300 or 400 level (one on each campus) and pass them with at least B's before being granted regular status. COURSE REQUIREMENTS FOR NON-CERTIFICATION PRO- GRAMS Quarter Hours A. Major in History 1. History courses 40 a.

This requirement may be met under I-b above, if permitted, or under III, or as an extra course.) Total 60 79 III. GENERAL INFORMATION ALL PROGRAMS IN HISTORY 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.

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. 4. The Mathematics Coordinator will notify the examined students on the results of the Comprehensive Exams. The examined students may request a conference with their faculty advisers for the purpose of discussing and reviewing the examination papers. The examina- tion papers will remain in the advisement files of the student advisers until the end of the subsequent quarter. 91 5. Students may repeat the Comprehensive Examination as many times as they find necessary to demonstrate the required level of compen- tence. Some graduate courses in mathematics are still being offered even though the degree program is no longer active. These courses are listed below. MATHEMATICS/EDUCATION 592.
