1254 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [June 22 G R A D U A T E P R O G R A M IN EDUCATION T h e admission and degree requirements for the Master of Arts, Master of Science, Doctor of Philosophy, and Doctor of Education will remain substantially the same. If the new Ed.M. program here recommended is approved, it is further recommended that the present curriculum for that degree be discontinued as of September, 1950, except that students who have been admitted to the Graduate College prior to September I, 1950, and have declared their candidacy for the Ed.M., as presently defined, by September 30, 1950, will be permitted to qualify for that degree under the present regulations. All others can become candidates only for the degrees and certificates proposed. These two programs will be administered by the College of Education within the general administrative framework of the Graduate College. I. Admission Requirements: A. F a r the Master of Education: (1) a grade-point average of at least 3.5 for that portion of work which represents the last fifty per cent of the hours completed to secure the bachelor's degree; (2) sixteen semester hours in education with a grade-point average of 3.5 for all education courses. B. F o r the Advanced Certificate in Education: (1) a master's degree from an accredited institution; (2) two years of professional employment in education. II. Required Courses: It is understood that the list of required courses is flexible to the extent that students who have had equivalent work will be permitted to substitute other established courses, and that new courses may be added or substituted with the approval of the Executive Faculty. A. F o r the Master of Education: Education 311, Psychology of Learning for T e a c h e r s ; Education 312, Mental Hygiene and the School; two of the following: Education 304, Social Foundations of Education; Education 301, Philosophy of Education; Education 302, History of American Education; Education 303, Comparative Education. B. For the Advanced Certificate in Education: in addition to the courses listed above, Education 390, Elements of Educational Statistics; Education 413, Social Psychology and Problems of Education; and either Education 411, Psychology of Adolescence for Teachers, or Education 412, Advanced Child Development for Students of Education. I I I . Degree Requirements: A. F o r the Master of Education: eight units of work of which at least four must be earned in residence. B. For the Advanced Certificate in Education: eight units of work beyond the master's degree, all of which must be taken on the Urbana campus and four of which must be taken in residence, i.e., the equivalent of one semester's or two summer sessions' work in residence. It is the judgment of the Executive Faculty of the Graduate College and of the Senate Committee on Educational Policy that when a teacher in service, or one who has been in service, first enters upon the program leading to one of the advanced professional degrees, the student's adviser should determine whether the student has been or is teaching a subject for which he is not qualified in terms of the Limited Certificate requirements. If this is the case, then the student's program should be drawn up in such a way that it includes the work necessary to meet the minor requirements of the Limited Certificate in the subject which the student has been teaching without having met those requirements. With the approval of the adviser, courses in the subject-matter field involved which carry two-hundred numbers may be approved for advanced professional credit, though no such course may be counted as part of the work required for the Master of Arts, Master of Science, Doctor of Education, or Doctor of Philosophy degrees. This is intended to secure the result that the upgrading procedure for teachers in service be used not only to improve their competence in the art of teaching, but also their grasp of the subject taught, in those cases where the latter is clearly inadequate.
