Walker, M.A : Library Science Christine Wilton, Ph.D Science PART TWO GRADUATE INSTRUCTION GRADUATE INSTRUCTION 1. Purpose. The primary function of East Carolina Teachers College is to prepare teachers and school admin- istrators for all types of public-school work. As the state certification requirements for teachers and administra- tors advance, this College extends its curricula to prepare its students to meet the new requirements. Graduate instruction is intended to provide an advanced program of study for North Carolina teachers and school admin- istrators and to enable them to meet the requirements for the graduate certificates issued by the State Department of Public Instruction. 2. Administration. The administration and direction of graduate instruction is in charge of the Committee for the M.A. Degree and the Dean of Instruction. 3. Admission to Graduate Instruction. Application for admission to graduate instruction must be made to the Dean of Instruction. Blanks for this purpose may be se- cured from the registrar's office. To be admitted to graduate instruction, an applicant must hold a Bachelor's Degree from this College or from some other institution of equal rank or lack not more than six quarter hours of work to complete the resident require- ments for the Bachelor's Degree, provided he is recom- mended for graduate standing by the director of his major department. He must also have met the undergraduate requirements for his major and minor fields and made not less than an average grade of "3" in all his undergraduate work. If the undergraduate work of an applicant does not show the completion of at least fifteen quarter hours in English, nine of which shall be Composition, and twenty-four quarter hours in a combination of Education and Psychology, such GRADUATE INSTRUCTION 9 deficiencies shall be made up before the Master's Degree will be conferred. Admission to graduate study is not equivalent to admis- sion to candidacy for the degree of Master of Arts. In addition to the general requirements for admission to graduate instruction, the several departments may set up requirements for graduate students. Many courses carry specific prerequisites. Graduate students must meet these requirements and satisfy the department concerned that they are prepared to undertake the work. Before complet- ing registration, each student should read carefully the departmental and course announcements in the Bulletin and consult the department head and the course instructor. Each student should also choose a major field and work out a program of study with the director of the department. 4. Transcripts. Graduates from other institutions must present an official transcript of all college work completed. This transcript should be filed with the Registrar of the College before the first enrollment. 5. General Information. Each graduate student should choose a major field and consult the director of that depart- ment with reference to the work to be done in that depart- ment. Courses numbered 300-399 followed by letter G indicate Senior-graduate courses. Courses numbered 400 or above are open to graduate students only. 6. Marks. Credit is given for graduate instruction only for marks "1", "2", and "3". REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS 1. At least one academic year must be spent on the cam- pus of East Carolina Teachers College. The academic year must consist of three full quarters or a minimum of thirty- three weeks done within five consecutive years. A minimum of twelve quarter hours completed on the campus may be counted as a quarter's work, except that each student must 10 EAST CAROLINA TEACHERS COLLEGE carry a minimum load of twelve quarter hours at least one quarter. A maximum of nine quarter hours in any curriculum leading to the master's degree may be taken in off-campus extension work given by East Carolina Teachers College. A graduate student who has received his baccalaureate degree from East Carolina Teachers College may earn a maximum of nine quarter hours in another institution hav- ing equal standards of graduate work, except that the maximum is reduced by the number of quarter hours the student has earned in off-campus extension courses at East Carolina Teachers College. For example, a student who has graduate credit for three quarter hours in extension work may not count more than six quarter hours of gradu- ate work in another institution. Work done in another institution must be approved by the student's major adviser before the work is started. Except as stated in this regu- lation, graduate work may not be transferred from any other institution for credit toward the master's degree. Equivalent graduate credit may be transferred to East Carolina Teachers College for the purpose of satisfying a specific curriculum requirement and thereby permitting the substitution of an elective course. 2. Admission to Candidacy. Each student must make application to the Dean of Instruction for admission to candidacy. A graduate student will not be admitted for candidacy for the Masters degree until he has completed satisfactorily at least six quarter hours, one half of which must be in the candidate's major field. A graduate student must be approved for candidacy for the Masters degree before he is permitted to continue graduate study beyond 15 quarter hours. 3. Not more than fifteen quarter hours of work may be taken in any one quarter. Not more than nine hours may be taken in any one summer term. 4. Not more than fifty percent of the student's graduate credit may be taken in Senior-graduate courses. GRADUATE INSTRUCTION 11 5. Course Requirements. At least forty-five quarter hours of graduate work must be completed with no grade below a "3" and one-third of the grades above a "3". The work may be done under either of the following plans : a. Eighteen quarter hours in major field, nine quarter hours in Education or Psychology or in a combination of both, twelve quarter hours in general academic subjects, six quarter hours of seminar, and a thesis. The electives shall be selected with the advice of the director of the major departments. b. Twenty-one quarter hours in major field, nine quarter hours in Education or Psychology or in a combina- tion of both and fifteen quarter hours in general academic subjects. 6. All graduate courses are offered in cycles following a sequence of three years, this method makes possible an evenly-balanced program of study. The following is the required curriculum for Master of Arts degree candidates. REQUIREMENTS FOR M.A. DEGREE Fall Quarter General Academic : (Required of all candidates for M.A. degree) Qr.hrs.cr.

STUDENT LOAN FUNDS Since the founding of the College in 1909, graduating classes, alumni, organizations, and individual friends of the College have contributed toward loan funds for worthy students. The first gift toward a loan fund was made by the Class of 1911, the first class to be graduated from the College. For more than a decade, each succeeding class made a liberal contribution toward that fund which was called the "Students Loan Fund". The Class of 1922 named their gift ■the "Wilson Loan Fund". The alumni established the "Beckwith Loan Fund" and the "Austin Loan Fund". During the year 1946 the Alumni Association established a loan fund of $1,200.00 in honor of Miss Sallie Joyner Davis, Miss Maria D. Graham, Miss Mamie E. Jenkins and Miss Kate W. Lewis, all of whom were members of the first Col- lege faculty. Other donors of loan funds together with present values of those loans are listed below : A. B. Andrews Loan Fund $ 8,834.68 Beckwith.
