ate curriculum in the College of Commerce and Business Administration, on which the master's program was based, has been modified in the number of specified commerce courses required for graduation. Consequently, the graduate program needs revision to make it feasible for students graduating from the new undergraduate curriculum to obtain a Master of Science degree in Commercial Teaching in one year. Many of the students in the graduate curriculum will be teachers who have taught commercial subjects and who wish to obtain a master's degree for their professional advancement. Accordingly, the University Senate recommends approval of a new program leading to the degree of Master of Science in Commercial Teaching which has been developed in cooperation with the Council on Teacher Education, and which is comparable to fifth-year programs for teacher training in other fields. It includes the following requirements: Candidates for the degree of Master of Science in Commercial Teaching must earn three units in education; three units in commerce, two units to be selected from courses in accounting, business law, economics, management, and marketing, and one unit from courses in business education; and two units of electives. All course selections shall be subject to approval by the student's adviser. A complete list of the courses from which the student may make his selections, including a list of recommended electives, has been filed with the University officers concerned, including the Dean of the Graduate College, the Dean of the College of Commerce and Business Administration, the Director of Admissions and Records, and the Secretary of the Board of Trustees.
