Senate
SUBJECT: Master's Requirements

DATE:
25
March 1991
Changes to the university requirements. for the Master's degree (graduate
regulation 1.7.2) were approved by the Senate Graduate Studies Committee at its
meeting of 28 January 1991 and approved in a slightly modified form by S.C.A.P.
on 6 March 1991. These changes are intended to permit individual graduate
programs to develop Master's programs in which there is no thesis, project or
extended essays.
The rationale for the change is contained in the documentation accompanying the
proposal to change the M.A. options in the English Department. This proposal
provided the impetus for the S.G.S.C. to consider the change to the general
regulations.

FROM: B. P.

Committee
SUBJECT:
Master's Requirements
?
DATE:
December
7,
1990
As
discussed
at
our meeting
of November 26,
1990,
I have
prepared a proposed
addition to Regulation 1.7.2, Course Requirements for the Master's
Degree. I also
have noted
and proposed corrections to two
minor editorial
lapses. These are
incorporated in the
proposal
below:
-
?
1.7.2 Course Requirements for the Master's
Degree
Master's
candidates
must complete the University minimum requirement of 30
semester hours work in one of the following ways:
a)
take
a minimum of 12
semester
hours of
course
work
and
submit an
original thesis
b)
take
a minimum of 20 semester hours of course work
and
submit at least
two
extended essays, or a project
Depending
on the requirements of the program, a student may or may not
have a choice between
these
two alternatives.
A Graduate
Program Committee
may
require
work in addition to the minimum requirements, either on an
individual
basis or, with Senate
ratification
for all students in
its
program.
Proposed Regulation 1.7.2:
1.7.2.
Requirements for the Master's Degree
Master's candidates
must complete the University minimum requirement of 30
semester hours work in one of the following ways:
a)
take
a minimum of 12 semester hours of
graduate
course work and submit
an original thesis
b)
take
a minimum of 20 semester hours of
graduate
course
work
and submit
at least
two
extended
essays, or a project
c)
take a minimum
of 30
semester hours
of
graduate course work and pass
a
final written and oral
field examination
Depending on the requirements of the program, a student may or may not
have a choice between these three alternatives. A
Graduate
Program Committee
may require work in addition to the minimum requirements, either on an
individual basis or, with Senate
ratification
for all students in
its
program.
