Memorandum

DEAN OF GRADUATE STUDIES

FROM: B. P. Clayman

SUBJECT: Degree Designations

DATE: October 26, 1990

In my recent study of degree requirements, I was reminded of the existence of

several parenthetical' Master's degree designations, including the

M.A. (Criminol-

ogy). It is unclear to me why such degree designations exist. It may be that the

reasons are lost in antiquity or there may be valid reasons of which I am

unaware.

Unless there are valid reasons to retain this designation, I would like to eliminate

it and replace with a simple

M.A.

I ask that your School consider this question

and that you convey their response to me. I would, of course be to pleased to

discuss the matter with you, if you wish.

Dr Bruce Clayman, Dean of Graduate Studies

FROM:

John Lowman, Graduate Program Director

SUBJECT: Degree designations:

M.A. (Criminology)

I had an opportunity to raise your question about the degree designation

M.A.

(Criminology)

(memo dated 26 October) at a Faculty meeting on 8 November. After

some checking with various Faculty and Support staff, I did not come up with any

explanation for the origin of this designation. After a short discussion at the Faculty

meeting, a vote was taken to see if anyone objected to the removal of the

parenthetic

Criminology.

Fourteen people did not object; one person abstained. We

are, it seems, ready to bid the parenthetic

Criminology

degree designation farewell.

This is to advise that we have decided to keep the 

degree as M.A. rather than changing it to M.Sc., but 

the added "(Comm)" can be removed.
