Graduate instruction is organized to provide for three classes of graduate students: first, those who wish to become school administrators or supervisors; second, those who wish to secure Graduate Certificates; and, third, those who wish to do work beyond the Bachelor's Degree without reference to a higher degree or certification. Faculty. The administration and direction of graduate instruction is in charge of a Director of the Department of Graduate Instruction and a committee of five members of the faculty appointed by the President of the College. The teaching faculty of Graduate Instruction includes only those members of the college faculty specially desig- nated by the directors of the departments that offer graduate work. Library. The East Carolina Teachers College Library is making every effort consistent with its major program to meet the needs of the graduate department. The same fully-trained staff that serves during the academic year functions during the entire summer session. A consistent effort has been made, and is continuing, to complete sets of periodicals and journals of value to graduate students. The holdings of the congressional proceedings have recently been tripled. The Library now has over 40,000 volumes, many of which were purchased specifically or mainly for graduate use at the requests of those faculty members interested in graduate courses. The reference collection contains practically all the major reference sets in English and several in other languages. It is the established policy of the Library to make every reasonable effort to secure materials needed that we do not have ; if it is not possible to do so by purchase, then it usually is by borrowing or photographing in larger institutions. GRADUATE INSTRUCTION 9 ADMISSION TO GRADUATE INSTRUCTION Admission to graduate instruction must be made to the Director of Graduate Instruction. Blanks for this purpose may be secured from his office. To be admitted to graduate instruction the candidate 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 residence re- quirement for the Bachelor's Degree, provided he is recommended for graduate standing by the director of his major department. He must also have met the under- graduate requirements for his major and minor fields and made not less than an average grade of three 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 deficiencies shall be made up before the Master's Degree will be conferred. Admission to graduate instruction is not equivalent to admission to candidacy for the degree of Master of Arts. Transcripts. Graduates from other institutions must present an official transcript of all high school and college work completed. This transcript shall be filed with the Registrar of the College before the first enrollment. General Information. Each graduate student should choose a major field and consult the director of graduate study in that department with reference to the work to be done in that department. Each graduate is also expected to select a minor field of study.- This should be chosen as nearly as possible to supplement the student's work in the major field. Courses numbered 300 to 399 may be taken by graduate students if they are designated in the catalog as being open to graduate students. However, not more than twelve quarter hours of work may be taken from courses numbering below 400. 10 EAST CAROLINA TEACHERS COLLEGE Courses numbering 400 or above in the general college catalog are open to graduate students only. Marks. Credit is given for graduate work only for marks "1," '%" and "3." However, two-thirds of a student's work must be above a "3." Transfer of Credit. A limited amount of acceptable graduate credit earned in a fully accredited institution may be offered to apply on the Master of Arts degree. Such credit is allowed only on the recommendation of the department or departments concerned and the approval of the Committee on Graduate Instruction. REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS Admission to Candidacy. Each student must make application to the Director of Graduate Instruction for admission to candidacy not later than the first week of the quarter or summer session at the close of which the degree is to be conferred. Residence. At least three full quarters must be spent in residence, provided that nine quarter hours shall count as the minimum of work for one quarter in residence. Course Requirements. A candidate for the degree of Master of Arts may complete either of the following plans of work : a. Eighteen quarter hours in a major field, nine quarter hours in education and psychology or in a combi- nation of both, six quarter hours of seminar, twelve quarter hours of electives, and a thesis. The elec- tives shall be chosen with the advice of the director of the major department and should be so chosen as to qualify the candidate for a Graduate Certificate. b. Twenty-four quarter hours in a major field, nine quarter hours in education and psychology or in a combination of both, and twelve hours of electives to be chosen with the advice of the director of the major department. The electives should be so chosen as to qualify the candidate for the Graduate Certificate. GRADUATE INSTRUCTION 11 Not more than fifteen quarter hours of work may be taken in any one quarter. Thesis. If a thesis is written it must show the result of an investigation of some educational problem related to the major field. The subject of the thesis must be approved by the director of the major department and by the Committee on Graduate Instruction at least two quarters before the degree is conferred. One approved typewritten copy of the thesis must be filed with the librarian of the college and one copy must be filed with the director of the major department before the degree is conferred. No credit is given for the seminar until after the thesis has been finally approved. Teaching Ability. Each student must satisfy the Com- mittee on Graduate Instruction as to his ability to teach. This may be done in either of two ways : (a) successful teaching experience, or (b) successful student teaching. PART THREE GENERAL INFORMATION FEES AND EXPENSES Day Students.

Students who withdraw unofficially are not eligible to re-enroll in the college. Credit. No degree, diploma, or certificate will be granted or a transcript of credits furnished a student until all financial obligations to the college, other than student loans, have been paid. All previously incurred expenses at the college must be fully paid or secured before a student may re-enter at the beginning of any quarter. Student Loan Fund. If a student who is doing graduate work in the College needs additional money to help finance his edu- cation, he may make application for a loan to the Loan Fund Committee of the College. However, no student may borrow more than the actual college expenses for any one quarter, and no student may borrow a total of more than $250.00. Appli- cation for a loan must be made to the Treasurer on blanks furnished for that purpose. Application should be made at least two weeks before the beginning of the quarter for which the loan is desired. Scholarship and student government records are considered in awarding loans.
