400 series, and twelve of these eighteen must be in the major field. At least twentyfour quarter hours must be in the major field. The remaining credit may be in that field or in other courses appropriate to the student's educational goals. No more than eighteen quarter hours of thesis credit may be included in a forty-eight quarter hour program. T h e normal program for a full-time graduate student is sixteen quarter hours. The maximum permissible is twenty quarter hours. The academic work carried by assistants and others on the University staff is limited by statute, and those employed outside the University are expected to reduce their programs of study in accordance with these regulations. The maximum amount of academic work is determined by the terms of employment as follows: Maximum Registration Nature of Appointment per Quarter Full time 4 quarter hours Three-fourths time 8 quarter hours Two-thirds time 9 quarter hours One-half time 12 quarter hours One-third time IS quarter hours One-fourth time 16 quarter hours P r o g r a m s for t h e M a s t e r ' s D e g r e e The master's degree may be terminal for some students, especially teachers in public schools and junior colleges. For others, the degree will be the first step toward the doctorate. Each program for the master's degree establishes a broad foundation of knowledge for both classes of students. In addition, each program requires an appropriate degree of specialization on the part of the student as described in the summary statements which follow. Departmental standards for admission and graduation are generally equivalent to those of corresponding departments in Urbana as approved by the Board of Trustees and are therefore not included. Table I indicates the projected enrollments in the ten programs. Table II shows the graduate faculty standing of members of the departments now seeking to begin graduate programs. T a b l e I.
