the campus, has become the traditional symbol of
North Carolina State University. Carillon bells chime
hourly from the 122 foot tower, built in memory of
State alumni who died in World War I.
NORTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY
at Raleigh
North Carolina State University is the center for scientific and
technological education, research, and service in North Carolina.
Created in 1887 by act of the North Carolina legislature as the
state's land-grant institution, State was established primarily as a
school of agriculture and mechanic arts. In the 77 years since its
founding, however, its interests and responsibilities have been
greatly broadened in response to the major scientific and techno-
logical demands of our rapidly changing world. While maintaining
deep commitments to the agricultural and industrial interests of
North Carolina, State has developed training and research programs
of regional as well as national influence.
North Carolina State University is one of four institutions com-
prising the consolidated University of North Carolina. As a unit of
the consolidated University, North Carolina State fulfills particular
responsibilities for specialization in graduate and undergraduate
training. Emphasis at State centers in the areas of agriculture, the
sciences, engineering, architecture and design, forestry, and textiles.
State's organization includes eight undergraduate schools, the
Graduate School, and the Division of Continuing Education. A total
of 75 degrees are offered at the undergraduate level; at the gradu-
ate level there are 42 master's and 29 doctoral degree programs
offered. Graduate instruction was first offered at North Carolina
State in 1893. The first doctoral degree was awarded in 1926.
The eight undergraduate schools at State are the Schools of
Agriculture and Life Sciences, Design, Education, Engineering,
Forestry, Liberal Arts, Physical Sciences and Applied Mathematics,
and Textiles. The research, extension, and instructional programs
of these schools are supported and strengthened by several special-
ized divisions and offices including the Institutes of Statistics,
Water Resources, Agricultural Policy, and Biological Sciences; the
Computing Center; the Agricultural and Industrial Extension Serv-
ices; and the Agricultural Experiment Station with its 17 branch
stations. State's facilities also include a minerals laboratory and
a fisheries research station.
The North Carolina State campus, with adjoining research farms,
covers 3,000 acres and is valued at more than $70 million. There
are 80 major University buildings, including classroom, laboratory,
and auxiliary facilities buildings. In addition to the Raleigh cam-
pus, State operates a number of agricultural research farms and
extensive experimental forests.
Undergraduate enrollment at State is currently about 9,800; in
the fall semester of 1965 the Graduate School had enrolled 1,601
students. A large international student group representing 60 coun-
tries is presently studying at State.
12
THE GRADUATE CATALOG
The University faculty and staff numbers more than 1,500 mem-
bers, including a graduate faculty of 473.
For 1965-66, State's budget will exceed $36 million. In order to
accommodate the growing enrollment and the increasing research
requirements, North Carolina State University is pursuing a con-
tinuing program of building and acquiring new faculty and re-
search staff. The present research expenditure is about $12 million
annually. Current research appropriations, contracts and grants
total more than $17 million.
State is contributing to international development through an
agricultural mission to Peru, special soils studies programs for
Latin America, and a cooperative project with the University of
Kabul, Afghanistan. Scores of international visitors, individual
faculty work with universities in other countries, and the large
international student enrollment at State indicate the extent of the
University's international involvement.
North Carolina State is accredited by the Southern Association
of Colleges and Schools and the North Carolina College Conference.
In addition, individual schools and departments are accredited by
various associations in their respective fields. State holds member-
ships in the Association of State Universities and Land-Grant
Colleges, the American Council of Education, the College Entrance
Examination Board, the Council of Graduate Schools in the United
States, the National Commission on Accrediting, the Oak Ridge
Institute of Nuclear Studies, and the Southern Association of Col-
leges and Schools.
HoUaday Hall houses many of State's administrative offices. The build-
ing, oldest on campus, was erected in 1889 and is named in honor of
Alexander Q. HoUaday, first president of the college.
THE GRADUATE SCHOOL
of the University of North Carolina
NORTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY DIVISION
Donald Benton Anderson, Vice President for Academic Affairs, Chapel
Hill
Walter John Peterson, Dean, Raleigh
The Graduate School of the University of North Carolina is com-
posed of three divisions, one at the University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill, one at the University of North Carolina at Greens-
boro, and one at North Carolina State University at Raleigh. Each
branch of the consolidated Graduate School is administered by a
graduate dean who works in close association with the Vice Presi-
dent in Charge of Academic Affairs. The Graduate Council is
composed of representatives of the Administrative Boards of each
of the three units of the consolidated University having a division
of the Graduate School. At North Carolina State University the
graduate dean is assisted in all matters of policy by an Adminis-
trative Board of ten members. Seven are elected by the faculties
of the degree-granting schools and three are appointed by the
Chancellor after consultation with the Dean.
Graduate instruction at North Carolina State University is organ-
ized to provide opportunity and facilities for advanced study and
research in the fields of agriculture and life sciences, engineering,
forestry, physical sciences and applied mathematics, technological
education, and textiles. The purpose of these graduate programs
is to develop in advanced students a more adequate comprehension
of the requirements and responsibilities essential for independent
research investigation. In all the graduate programs emphasis is
placed upon a high level of scholarship rather than upon the satis-
faction of specific course or credit requirements.
The full resources of the consolidated University of North Caro-
lina are available to all graduate students enrolled at any of the
three divisions of the Graduate School. Exceptional facilities for
graduate study are provided at North Carolina State University.
New buildings furnish modern well equipped laboratories for
graduate study in specialized areas of agriculture and life sciences,
engineering, forestry, physical sciences and applied mathematics,
and textiles.
The North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station and the
Department of Engineering Research are integral parts of the
University at Raleigh. The staff, research facilities, equipment, and
field studies of these organizations contribute in a very important
way to the graduate programs. The Institute of Statistics at North
Carolina State makes available to graduate students unusual oppor-
tunities in this important phase of research study.
14 THE GRADUATE CATALOG
The state of North Carolina, extending from the Atlantic Ocean
westward about 500 miles to the Appalachian Mountains, possesses
an exceptional range of climatic and topographic environments. The
coastal plain, the Piedmont, and the mountains provide a rich pat-
tern of agricultural and industrial activity which offer unusual
opportunities for research and employment.
North Carolina State University is located in Raleigh, situated
on the boundary separating the broad coastal plains on the east
from the rolling terrain of the Piedmont on the west, about midway
between the northern and southern boundaries of the state. Raleigh
is 29 miles from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
and 26 miles from Durham, the home of Duke University. The
libraries and other facilities of the three institutions make this
area one of the important centers of research opportunity in the
South.
The D. H. Hill Library
The D. H. Hill Library of North Carolina State University has
excellent holdings in materials essential for research study in the
graduate curricula offered by the University.
As of July 1, 1965, the library held about 332,000 volumes of
books and bound journals, including more than 14,000 bound vol-
umes of documents. The books and journals reflect strongly the
scientific and technological interests of the University, and the
documents represent a most important increment of the whole
collection. They include publications of the federal government, all
publications of the various Agricultural Experiment Stations, most
of the publications of the Engineering Experiment and Engineering
Research Stations, and publications of the various research sta-
tions all over the world. The library receives over 4,700 current
periodicals.
The D. H. Hill Library holdings and other library holdings within
a 30 mile radius of North Carolina State constitute the greatest
concentration of library resources south of Washington, D. C. These
include the D. H. Hill Library, the Chemstrand Research Center
Library, the Duke University Library, and the Louis Round Wilson
Library at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
An inter-library delivery service exchanges volumes among the
three university libraries three days a week. These three libraries
have a total of more than 3,000,000 volumes. This loan service
serves faculty and graduate students on the three campuses. Iden-
tification certificates enabling participation in the reciprocal ar-
rangement may be secured at the D. H. Hill Library.
A list of scientific periodicals which includes holdings of Duke
University and the units of the consolidated University is available
to faculty members and research scientists in the area and to other
libraries throughout the nation.
The North Carolina State University library is a depository for
all unclassified publications of the federal government that are
THE GRADUATE CATALOG 15
available for distribution. These include publications of the United
States Department of Agriculture, Geological Survey, National
Bureau of Standards, Department of Interior and others. Since the
library was designated as a depository in 1923, its document hold-
ings in the University's special interest fields are almost 100 per-
cent complete.
The library is a depository for the publications of the Carnegie
Institution of Washington and has excellent files of these valuable
monographs.
Also, the library is a depository for all unclassified and declassi-
fied publications of the Atomic Energy Commission.
Publications of many foreign countries — especially publications
dealing with the agricultural sciences and with engineering — are
received on exchange by the library.
In July, 1960, the library became a depository for the publications
of the Food and Agriculture Administration of the United Nations.
The library, in July, 1959, acquired the Tippmann Collection of
Entomology, the outstanding private collection of Dr. Friedrich F.
Tippmann of Vienna. The collection contains 6,200 books and bound
research journals in the field of entomology, many of them rare and
unobtainable.
A recent donation of $5,000 from the Alumni Association was
used to purchase two outstanding sets of the rare 20-volume "Edi-
zone Nazionale" of the works of Galileo and an almost complete
file of the important German botanical periodical, "Bibliotheca
Botanica," covering the years 1889 to 1960.
Funds from the estate of the late Chancellor J. W. Harrelson
have been allocated to purchase rare volumes in mathematics and
history of science and important files of research journals.
The research holdings of the library are particularly strong in
the fields of entomology, nuclear energy, genetics, aeronautics and
space technology, engineering and physics, and include files of the
major journals in these fields. A large and useful collection of
books in the humanities and the social sciences is available for the
use of undergraduate students.
The library's photocopy service is of great importance to faculty
and graduate students in that it provides facilities for copying
materials not permitted to leave the library.
The Textiles Library, an on-campus branch of the main library,
contains outstanding holdings in textiles and textile chemistry. It
is regarded as one of the best textiles libraries in the country. The
School of Design Library has a very fine collection of books, jour-
nals and slides in the fields of architecture, landscape architecture

The Institute of Statistics is composed of two sections, one at
Raleigh and the other at Chapel Hill. At North Carolina State, the
16 THE GRADUATE CATALOG
Institute provides statistical consulting services to all branches
of the institution, sponsors research in statistical theory and
methodology, and coordinates the teaching of statistics at the
undergraduate and graduate levels. The actual instructional and
other academic functions are performed by the Department of
Experimental Statistics, which forms a part of the Institute.
The purpose of the Institute is to provide extra depth and
strength in the development and use of modern statistical proce-
dures throughout the University. This involves cooperative efforts
with many schools, departments, and agencies. The establishment
of a nationally recognized program in quantitative genetics and
recent developments in the field of biomathematics illustrate the
coordinating role the Institute plays in the quantitative sciences.
In addition to these local activities, the Institute maintains close
and continuing contact with statistics scholars, research programs,
and graduate instruction programs throughout the world. It has
helped develop an international abstracting journal for statistical
articles. The Institute is the point of contact for grants and con-
tracts in statistics. It has been active in organizing and maintaining
a strong Southern Regional Cooperative Graduate Summer Session
in statistics. Approximately 15 graduate assistantships in statistics
are made available annually through the efforts of the Institute.
All of these contributions have added substantially to the vigor of
the entire graduate program of North Carolina State University.
Computing Facilities
Beginning in August 1966, there will be a rather complete change-
over of the equipment in the Computing Center, and of the comput-
ing organization in the Research Triangle area. Duke University,
the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and North Caro-
lina State University have joined together to form the Triangle
Universities Computation Center. This Center, with a large com-
puter (IBM Systems 360, Model 75), will be located in the Research
Triangle Park. Each campus computing center will be equipped
with a high-speed remote unit (IBM Systems 360, Model 30), with
additional medium and low-speed remote console units in conven-
ient locations on the campus.
The above configuration replaces an IBM 1410 tape system and
three IBM 1620's on the North Carolina State University campus.
Part of the need for expansion resulted from the heavy graduate
student training and research requirements. It is visualized that
the new facilities will provide adequate computing power and time
for the expanding graduate training and research program. Pro-
gramming courses of both the regular credit type, as well as short
courses, are offered by the Departments of Mathematics and Ex-
perimental Statistics and by the Computing Center.

Research Program at the Oak Ridge Associated Universities
North Carolina State is one of the sponsoring institutions of the
Oak Ridge Associated Universities at Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Through
this cooperative association, North Carolina State's graduate re-
search program has at its disposal the facilities and research staff
at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Extensive research programs
are under way there on physical and biological effects of radiation,
radioisotope utilization, and many other areas of nuclear science
and engineering. When master's and doctoral candidates have com-
pleted their resident work, it may be possible, by special arrange-
ment, for them to do their thesis research at Oak Ridge. In addition,
it is possible for the staff members of this University to go to Oak
Ridge for advanced study in their particular fields.
Institute of Biological Sciences
The Institute of Biological Sciences is an organization within the
School of Agriculture and Life Sciences of the Departments of
Botany, Entomology, Genetics, Microbiology, Plant Pathology, Zool-
ogy and faculties of Biochemistry and Physiology. Its function is
to encourage and promote research and teaching in basic biology
and to coordinate inter-departmental activities. Program-type grants
are administered by the Institute and enable grant support to be
provided to discipline and subject matter areas involving faculties
in several departments.
Facility planning, development and support for biological sci-
ences is an important function of the Institute. Also, summer insti-
tutes are administered in the Institute of Biological Sciences. These
have included the National Science Foundation-sponsored Summer
Institutes in Genetics and Pesticide Toxicology for College Teachers,
Biology for High School Teachers, and Biology, Chemistry, and
Mathematics for High School Students. Academic Year Institutes
in Biology for High School Teachers have also been sponsored.
The Biological Sciences Undergraduate Curriculum and the Un-
dergraduate Research Participation for Biological Sciences are
cooperative programs administered in the Institute. These programs
have had an outstanding record in the percentage of individuals
going into graduate study following their participation in these
programs.
This organization provides a mechanism for strengthening re-
search and instruction in existing graduate programs, and for
developing new inter-disciplinary areas. Inter-departmental cooper-
ative graduate programs have become increasingly important within
the basic biological sciences and among the biological, physical, and
engineering sciences. The Institute plays an important role in en-
couraging the full utilization of the faculties and facilities for
graduate research and instruction.
18 THE GRADUATE CATALOG
Graduate Institute of Extension Education
The Graduate Institute of Extension Education provides an inter-
disciplinary program by drawing together basic concepts from the
behavioral sciences and education relevant to adult and extension
education. The Institute is available on campus to serve instruc-
tional needs as well as the need for basic and applied research in
the field.
The Institute is administered by a five-man board of directors
including the Dean of the Graduate School; Deans of the Schools
of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Education, and Liberal Arts at
North Carolina State; and the Dean of the School of Home Eco-
nomics at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Supple-
menting the efforts of the board of directors is an advisory
committee representing the eight departments involved in this
inter-disciplinary instructional and research program.
The Graduate School offices are located in Peele Hall, which also houses
many of the offices for the Division of Student Affairs.
GENERAL INFORMATION
TUITION AND FEES
Tuition rates for students enrolled in the Graduate School at North
Carolina State are as follows:
North Carolina Resident — $9 per semester hour of enroll-
ment up to and including nine semester hours. For ten semes-
ter hours or more, $87.50 for the semester.
Non-Resident — $32 per semester hour for each semester
hour of enrollment up to and including nine semester hours.
For ten semester hours or more, $300 for the semester.
Incidental fees and charges are levied for purposes and services
available to all graduate students whether or not the student takes
advantage of them.
The full amount of incidental fees and charges will be collected,
notwithstanding the number of semester hours of credit for which
the student may enroll.
For the academic year 1966-67, fees are as follows:
First semester $89.50
Second semester $88.50
In cases of occasional or part-time graduate students not in resi-
dence, application for cancellation of non-academic fees may be
made if it is clear that the student could not use the services
covered. Application forms are available in the Graduate School
and the Office of Business Affairs.
Full-time faculty of instructor rank and above and other full-
time employees of the University who hold membership in the
Teachers' and State Employees' Retirement System may register for
credit or audit one course in each semester or summer term with
free tuition privileges. Free tuition privileges apply only during the
period of one's normal employment and do not include such other
charges as registration, laboratory or other appropriate fees. Each
applicant for free tuition privileges must complete and submit
through regular administrative channels a form provided by the
University. A maximum of 8 semester hours may be taken during
the academic year.
Faculty members on less than full-time appointments will be per-
mitted to take more than one course per semester upon the recom-
mendation of their dean and the approval of both the Dean of the
Graduate School and the Dean of the Faculty. In these cases tuition
and fees will be the same as those for part-time graduate students
computed at residence rates.
Maximum permissible course loads for graduate students holding
part-time appointments are as follows: Three-quarters time, six
hours; half-time, nine hours; quarter-time, twelve hours.
20 THE GRADUATE CATALOG
Students wishing to visit classes without participation in class
discussions, quizzes, or examinations must register for this privilege
as auditors. Visiting classes without registration is not permitted.
Graduate students may register for one course as an audit in any
semester without charge when the audit is certified by the Dean of
the Graduate School as a part of course work for which tuition
charges are made (this does not apply in the summer sessions).
Audits in subjects in which the student has had no previous experi-
ence will be evaluated at full credit value in determining course loads.
Audits taken as repetition of work previously accomplished are con-
sidered at one-half their credit value in calculating course loads. With
the single exception of foreign language audits, all audit registrations
must fall within the maximum permissible course loads. Audits are
not permitted students registering for thesis preparation. While audit
registrations are evaluated for purposes of determining permissive
course loads in terms of the above regulations of the Graduate School,
the Office of Business Affairs considers all audits, excepting the one
permitted free of charge, in terms of full credit value in calculating
the tuition for graduate students.
All graduate students holding appointments of V3 service obliga-
tion or more and receiving a regular monthly salary check are
charged the resident or "in-state" rate of tuition.
Graduate students who have completed all course work, research
and residence requirements and who are in residence for the pur-
pose of writing a thesis or dissertation may register for "thesis
preparation." The tuition charge for this registration is $15. Stu-
dents registering for thesis preparation will pay, in addition, fees
of $89.50 in the fall semester and $88.50 in the spring semester.
When not in residence these charges will be $15 plus $7 registra-
tion fee, or $22.
Graduate students not in residence who have completed all re-
quirements for the degree sought, including the thesis and final
examination, will be required to register for "degree only" in the
semester in which the degree is awarded. The charge for this regis-
tration is $10.
A diploma fee of $12 is charged all students receiving a master's
degree and a fee of $17 is charged all students who receive a doc-
torate. A fee of $21 is charged all doctoral candidates for micro-
filming their dissertations.
Anyone who feels a mistake has been made in his bill may discuss
the matter with the Office of Business Affairs. Any further appeals
should be made to the Committee on Refund of Fees. Forms for
this appeal may be obtained from the Office of Business Affairs.
All tuition charges and fees are subject to change without notice.

Residence Status
In order to draw a clear line between in-state and out-of-state
students, the Administration has ruled that all students whose par-
ents have not been domiciled in North Carolina for more than six
months immediately preceding the day of their first enrollment in
the institution shall be termed out-of-state students, with the follow-
ing exceptions:
(1) Students twenty-one years of age at the time of their first
matriculation who have resided in North Carolina for more
than one year preceding the day of their first enrollment;
(2) Children of regular employees of the federal government
stationed in the state of North Carolina; and
1 3 ) Children of regular employees of the federal government
who are employed outside of the state, but who through law
are permitted to retain their North Carolina citizenship.
Students cannot claim a change in their resident status after
matriculating. Students furnishing incomplete or incorrect infor-
mation in order to obtain the special state-resident status shall be
liable for dishonorable dismissal.
FELLOWSHIPS AND GRADUATE ASSISTANTSHIPS
Fellowships
Graduate fellowships and traineeships provide funds to graduate
students to assist in the support of their programs of advanced

normally devote half-time to service duties for the University.
Teaching assistantships carry stipends ranging from $2,700 to
$3,600 for the academic year and permit the holder to enroll for
sixty percent of a full course load. The stipends for research assist-
antships range from $2,700 to $3,600 for a calendar year appoint-
ment.
The University offers 625 assistantships requiring a service obliga-
tion in either teaching or research. Some of these are supported by
funds granted by the following agencies: the Air Force Cambridge
Research Laboratories, Air Force Office of Scientific Research, the
American Museum of Natural History, American Potash Institute,

RESIDENCE FACILITIES
Dormitory facilities are provided on the campus for unmarried
graduate students. The rental fee for double rooms in the men's
residence halls is $133 per semester.
A limited number of University apartments are available for
married graduate students in McKimmon Village. Rent per month,
not including utilities, is as follows: efficiency, $45; one bedroom,
$59.50; two bedroom, $71.
ADMISSIONS
Graduate School admission may be to full graduate standing,
provisional or unclassified status. Applications for admission to the
Graduate School must be accompanied by official transcripts from
all colleges previously attended.
Full Graduate Standing — For admission in this category a student
must have a bachelor's degree from a recognized college or univer-
sity regarded as standard by a regional or general accrediting
agency, and must have at least a B grade average in his under-
graduate major.
Provisional admission may be granted to applicants who lack
undergraduate work considered essential for graduate study in the
major field. Course work, without graduate credit, will be required
to make up such deficiencies before admission to full graduate
status can be granted.
Graduates from non-accredited institutions may be granted pro-
visional admission when their academic records warrant this status.
Additional course work will be required of such students when defi-
ciencies in their previous training are apparent.
Graduates from accredited institutions whose scholastic records are
below the standards for admission to full graduate standing may be
admitted provisionally when unavoidable extenuating circumstances
affected their undergraduate averages or when progressive improve-
ment in their undergraduate programs warrant provisional admis-
sion. All such students are required to take the Graduate Record
Examination and to submit scores to the Graduate School office in
support of their application. The National Teacher Examination may
be substituted for the Graduate Record Examination if recommended
by the department head. Information as to the dates on which the
Graduate Record and the National Teacher Examinations are given
may be obtained at the Graduate School office.
Graduate students admitted to provisional status may attain full
graduate standing when the deficiencies responsible for their pro-
visional status are corrected. They also must have maintained a
satisfactory academic record in all course work taken as part of their
graduate program. Change from provisional to full graduate standing
is effected only on written recommendation from the department in
which the student is seeking his degree.
Unclassified graduate students are not candidates for graduate
degrees. They may take courses for graduate credit but may not
apply more than ten credits earned while in the unclassified status
to any program leading to an advanced degree at this institution.
Unclassified graduate students are expected to meet the same ad-
missions requirements that apply to graduate students in full
standing.
Applications for admission to the Graduate School should be on
24 THE GRADUATE CATALOG
file in the Graduate School office at least thirty days in advance of
the registration date for the term in which the student wishes to
enroll in the Graduate School.
Public school personnel (primary teachers, secondary teachers,
or administrators) registering at North Carolina State for the first
time who are interested primarily in "Certification Credit" may
enroll as graduate students for a maximum of six semester hours
without forwarding official transcripts of previous work to the
Graduate Office. If, however, application is not made through nor-
mal channels for graduate credit in the session in which the course
or courses are taken, the student will not be permitted to apply the
credit toward an advanced degree at North Carolina State, or else-
where.
In all cases where the teacher's interest is primarily in approval
for certification credit, the School of Education will be responsible
for assessing the adequacy of the teacher's qualifications for enroll-
ment in the University in the particular course or courses. The
School of Education will also be responsible for advising all such
students early in each school session that if they wish their credits
to be applied in due course to a higher degree at North Carolina
State, or elsewhere, normal admission procedures will be required.
All teachers who have previously attended North Carolina State
University and earned six semester hours of credit and wish to en-
roll for additional courses for graduate credit will be required to
make application for admission to the Graduate School in the usual
manner, if they have not already done so.
In all cases a "B" level of academic performance or better is re-
quired.
Graduate-Special — This classification is used primarily for stu-
dents enrolling in special institutes such as the summer institutes
regularly held for college teachers, high school teachers, and grad-
uate students, or special graduate training programs for separate
groups such as our summer offerings for extension staff.
The following rules apply to students registered as Graduate-
Special :
1. All must have at least a baccalaureate degree from an ac-
credited institution of higher learning.
2. Official transcripts need not be submitted to the Graduate
Office for enrollment in this classification but the appropriate
institute or program director must file with the graduate dean
well in advance the nature of the program, the criteria and
methods used in selection of the students, and assurances
that the students have adequate preparation for the course
contemplated.
3. Placement in this classification carries with it no implication
that students will be admitted to the Graduate School in any
of the other classifications.
4. Graduate credit will be allowed not to exceed six hours of
THE GRADUATE CATALOG 25
course work at the 500 or 600 level if performance is at a
"B" level or better.
5. If the student is in due course admitted to the Graduate
School, graduate credit obtained under this classification may
apply to an advanced degree, if in the judgment of the Advisory
Committee the course (s) are germane to the particular pro-
gram of work.
6. Students who have received as much as six hours of graduate
credit under this classification must make application for
admission to the Graduate School before permission will be
granted to enroll for additional graduate work.
Registration
The Office of Registration must have written authorization from
the Dean of the Graduate School before any graduate student will
be given a permit to register. This authorization will be sent to
the Office of Registration by the graduate dean at the time the stu-
dent is notified of his acceptance.
Registration for Courses in Other Branches of the University
Graduate students working toward an advanced degree at North
Carolina State University may find it desirable to enroll for certain
courses in one of the other branches of the University. The follow-
ing principles and procedures apply in such cases:
1. A graduate student shall be considered to remain in the Grad-
uate School of the branch of the University to which he is
admitted for a specific degree program, to be under the con-
trol of his department, to be advised by his department, and
to be enrolled by that Graduate School for any graduate work
which he may take for credit in his own branch or any other
branch of the University.
2. A graduate student at one branch of the University who is
taking work at some other branch of the University for credit
toward his degree at the University branch to which he has
been admitted shall be enrolled for all courses, including those
at the other branch of the University, in his home Graduate
School. This Graduate School shall consider courses taken at
the other branch of the University as a part of the student's
normal load and shall use such enrollment in computing the
total billing which the home University will make to the stu-
dent.
3. A student at one branch of the University who is by this
method enrolled in one or more graduate courses at some other
branch of the University will be admitted to these courses,
provided space exists in these classes, by the Graduate School
of the other branch upon normal notification by the Graduate
School of the student's branch that the student has been
26 THE GRADUATE CATALOG
properly enrolled for these courses and has the approval of
the home branch for this program of study.
4. During the summer sessions approval of the courses to be
taken shall be asked, but the billing procedures shall be those
regularly used for visiting students.
5. No student enrolled as a regular graduate student in any
branch of the University shall be admitted to courses at
another branch of the University without the presentation by
the student of written permission from the Graduate School
of the branch to which the student was originally admitted.
Physical Examinations
All regularly enrolled graduate students must take a physical
examination preferably given by the family physician and the re-
sults recorded on forms provided by the University. When this is
not done the examination may be given by the North Carolina State
physician during registration for a fee of $10.
Course Load
A full-time graduate load is considered to be nine to fifteen
credits per semester. This course load restriction is made so that
graduate students may have time for reading and contemplation
well beyond the limits set for satisfactory undergraduate work. In
exceptional cases one or two additional credit hours may be added
to the roster if necessary in order to get prerequisite work not
taught in subsequent terms, provided the corresponding adjust-
ment in course load is made in the other terms. Rosters with addi-
tional credit hours beyond fifteen should be accompanied by a spe-
cial note from the head of the major department indicating the
reasons for the additional work.
Full-time faculty of instructor rank and above and other full-
time employees of the University who hold membership in the
Teachers' and State Employees' Retirement System may register
for credit or audit one course in each semester or summer term with
free tuition privileges. Free tuition privileges apply only during the
period of one's normal employment and do not include such other
charges as registration, laboratory or other appropriate fees. Each
applicant for free tuition privileges must complete and submit
through regular administrative channels a form provided by the
University.
Employees having academic rank higher than that of instructor
may register for graduate work for credit to be transferred to other
institutions. They may not undertake programs for graduate degrees
at the consolidated University of North Carolina.
Graduate assistants on half-time appointments are permitted a
maximum course load of nine credits per semester unless corres-
ponding adjustments are made in their service obligations during
THE GRADUATE CATALOG
27
the same semester. If the appointment is for the academic year of
nine months, half-time assistants are restricted to a maximum of
eighteen credit hours of work during the nine months of their ap-
pointment. Half-time graduate assistants whose appointments are
for twelve months may not exceed a total of twenty-four credits
during the twelve month period of their appointment. Three-quarter
time graduate assistants whose appointments are for twelve months
may register for a total of sixteen credits during the calendar year.
A total of six credits is the maximum load in a regular semester.
A member of the North Carolina State senior class may, upon
approval of the Dean of the Graduate School, register for courses
in the 500 group for graduate credit to fill a roster of studies not
to exceed fifteen credits in any semester. Not more than six hours of
graduate credit may be acquired by an undergraduate student. Cour-
ses listed with numbers in the 600 series are not ordinarily open
to undergraduates. Occasional exceptions may be made for "honor"
students.
The largest classroom facility on campus, Harrelson Hall's unusual
architecture makes it a campus landmark as well as a most functional
classroom building.

GRADUATE DEGREES
Admission to the Graduate School does not constitute admission
to candidacy for a graduate degree. Application for admission to
candidacy for graduate degrees must be submitted to the Adminis-
trative Board of the Graduate School. Applications of students pre-
paring for the master's degree may not be filed before the satis-
factory completion of one full semester of graduate study and must
be presented before the end of the first week of the last semester in
residence. Approval of the application will be determined by the
quality of the scholastic record and on the certification by the ma-
jor department that the student is qualified to continue advanced
work. Admission to candidacy for the doctorate is granted upon
satisfactory completion of the qualifying or preliminary examina-
tions.
The Graduate School at North Carolina State University offers
work leading to the Master of Science degree and the Professional
Master's degree in certain specialized fields in the Schools of Agri-
culture and Life Sciences, Education, Engineering, Forestry, Phy-
sical Sciences and Applied Mathematics, and Textiles; and the Doc-
tor of Philosophy degree in certain fields of agriculture and life
sciences, engineering, forestry, and physical sciences and applied
mathematics.
A graduate student is expected to familiarize himself with the
requirements for the degree for which he is a candidate and is held
responsible for the fulfillment of these requirements. This applies
to the last dates on which theses may be accepted, the dates for
examinations, the proper form of theses, and all other matters re-
garding requirements for degrees.
MASTER OF SCIENCE DEGREE
The Master of Science degree is awarded at North Carolina State
after a student has completed a course of study in a specialized
field in agriculture and life sciences, education, engineering, for-
estry, physical sciences and applied mathematics, or textiles; has
demonstrated his ability to read a modern foreign language; has
completed a satisfactory thesis, and taken comprehensive examina-
tions in the chosen field of study.
In addition to complying with these requirements, the candidate
for the Master of Science degree is expected to achieve high levels
of scholarship. Graduate study is distinguished from undergraduate
work by its emphasis upon independent research. The graduate stu-
dent is more interested in the significance of facts than in the ac-
cumulation of data. He is concerned with the materials of learning
and the organization and interpretation of these materials.
A graduate student's program of study is planned so as to pro-
vide a comprehensive view of some major field of interest and to
THE GRADUATE CATALOG 29
furnish the training essential for successful research in this field
and related areas of knowledge. As great a latitude is permitted in
the selection of courses as is compatible with a well-defined major
interest. The program of course work is selected with the object of
making possible a reasonable mastery of the subject matter in a
specialized field. Training in research is provided to familiarize the
student with the methods, ideals, and goals of independent investi-
gation. Since there are many possible combinations of courses, the
administration of graduate programs calls for personal supervision
of each student's plan of work by a special advisory committee of
the graduate faculty. (See page 30). The program of course work
to be followed by the student as part of the requirements for the
master's degree, and the thesis problem selected, must be approved
by the student's advisory committee and the Dean of the Graduate
School.
Credits
1. For the Master of Science degree a minimum of 30 semester
credits is required.
2. No more than six of the academic credits required for the de-
gree will be accepted from other institutions.
3. No graduate credit will be awarded for excess undergraduate
credit from another institution.
4. All work credited toward a master's degree must be com-
pleted within six calendar years.
5. No graduate credit is allowed for courses taken by correspond-
ence. A maximum of six semester credits may be obtained in
extension study in the field of education, provided the ex-
tension courses are taught by a member of the graduate fac-
ulty and provided the courses are given graduate ranking by
the Graduate School. Courses taken by extension are accepted
for graduate credit only when the student has been admitted
to the Graduate School and when notice of his registration is
filed with the Graduate Office. Credit for extension courses
reduces the amount of credit that may be transferred from
other institutions by the amount of graduate credit granted.
The thirty semester credit hour requirement for the master's de-
gree represents the minimum quantity of work acceptable. The
credit hours required of graduate students usually exceed the mini-
mum requirements. Inadequate preparation and thesis research
frequently make additional work necessary.
Courses of Study
The program of the student shall include at least eight semester
credits in courses of the 600 group, no more than six of which may
be allowed for research study. At least twenty semester hours must
come from the 500 and 600 group. A maximum of two hours of
seminar is permitted.
30 THE GRADUATE CATALOG
During the first term in residence an advisory committee of at
least three faculty members, one representing the minor field, will
be appointed by the dean, after consultation with the head of the
major department, for each student engaged in a program of work
leading to the master's degree. The advisory committee will meet
with the student and prepare a program of course work to meet
the requirements of the student's graduate objectives. Four copies
of the program, prepared on forms provided for this purpose, must
be approved by each member of the committee, by the head of the
major department, and by the Dean of the Graduate School. After
approval in the Graduate Office, three copies will be returned to the
department head — one for his files, one for the chairman of the
advisory committee, and one for the student.
The courses taken by a graduate student shall constitute a well
rounded but unified plan of study. This means that the program
of research and course work shall be divided between a major and
a minor field. While there are no inflexible rules which govern
the number of credit hours that must constitute the major and minor,
in general, it is expected that approximately two-thirds of the course
work will fall in the major and one-third in the minor. The detailed
course requirements for each graduate student program are left to
the judgment of the advisory committee.
Residence
Students engaged in a course of study leading to the Master of
Science degree are required to be in residence, pursuing graduate
work, one full academic year.
Class Work
A graduate student is expected to show greater initiative in ex-
ploring the possibilities of the subject matter presented in the
courses he takes than is the undergraduate. He is also expected to
recognize the significance of facts and to assume a responsibility for
relating data to theoretical concepts. In preparation, attendance, and
in all the routine of class work the graduate student is subject to
the regulations observed in other divisions of the University.
Grades
A minimum grade of "C" must be made on all formal course work
to obtain graduate credit. An average of "B" must be obtained on
all course work taken as part of the student's graduate program.
Failure to maintain a "B" average will place the student on proba-
tion. Any student whose academic record fails to meet the "B"
average requirement for two consecutive terms will not be per-
mitted to continue a graduate program without the written approval
of the graduate dean.
Grades in research, seminar, and special problems courses are

given in terms of "S" (satisfactory) or "U" (unsatisfactory) in
place of the symbols used for formal course work.
The grade incomplete may be used in research and laboratory
courses when circumstances beyond the control of the student have
prevented completion of the work by the end of the academic term.
A grade of incomplete may be given only after approval of the grad-
uate dean and must be converted to one of the usual symbols before
the end of the next academic semester in which the student is in
residence.
Language Requirements
A reading knowledge of at least one modern foreign language
(Germanic, Romance, or Slavic) is required of candidates for the
Master of Science degree.
The language requirement must be satisfied before a student can
be admitted to candidacy.
Proficiency in languages is determined by the Department of
Modern Languages:
1. By traditional reading knowledge examination at any time re-
quested by the student.
2. By taking course work (audit) especially designed for grad-
uate students who have no previous foreign language experi-
ence or who wish to refresh work formerly done. The depart-
ment offers special courses beginning with elementary
grammar and proceeding, during the semester, to general
scientific reading. Pronunciation is emphasized to the degree
in which it will help in translating from the language into
English. This first course is followed by a second course in
which the student selects work from scientific publications
touching as nearly as possible his major interest. He will then
be assigned a particular instructor with whom he will read
in individual conferences. When the conference instructor is
satisfied that the student has demonstrated his knowledge of
intricate grammatical problems, a decrease in the time re-
quired for reading, and a confidence in his ability to use the
language, he will be certified without further examination.
The completed translations may then, depending upon their
merit, be edited and prepared for permanent filing with the
various translation libraries throughout the country.
Graduate students who expect to complete the requirements for
the Master of Science degree should confer with the head of the
Department of Modern Languages soon after registration to for-
mulate plans for meeting the language requirement of this degree.
Students whose native language is other than English may meet
the foreign language requirement for the Master of Science degree
by demonstrating a satisfactory mastery of English. Examinations
in English are conducted by the Department of Modern Languages.
32 THE GRADUATE CATALOG
Thesis
A candidate for the Master of Science degree must prepare a
thesis representing an original investigation. The subject of the
thesis must be approved by the head of the department in which
the major work is done and by the student's advisory committee.
Three copies of the thesis in final form, and five copies of the ab-
stract, must be filed in the Graduate Office at least one month before
the degree is awarded. Detailed instructions as to form and organi-
zation of the thesis may be obtained at the Graduate Office.
Examinations
All candidates for the Master of Science degree must pass, with
a grade of "A", "B", or "C", all formal course work specified as part
of the requirements for the degree. Graduate credit for research,
seminar, and special problems courses is granted when a grade of
"S" is recorded in the Registration Office. In addition, the candidate
must pass a comprehensive oral examination that is held to satisfy
the examining committee that the candidate possesses a reasonable
mastery of knowledge in the major and minor fields and that this
knowledge can be used with promptness and accuracy. This exami-
nation may not be held until all other requirements, except com-
pleting the course work of the last semester, are satisfied. Applica-
tion for the comprehensive oral examination must be filed with the
graduate dean by the chairman of the advisory committee at least
two weeks prior to the date on which the examination is to be held.
The oral examination will be conducted by an examining commit-
tee appointed by the graduate dean. The chairman of the examining
committee will be the chairman of the student's advisory committee.
At least two additional members will be appointed to represent the
major and minor fields. The comprehensive oral examination is
open to all faculty members who care to attend but the decision as
to the candidate's fitness rests solely with the examining committee.
At the discretion of the examining committee, written examina-
tions covering the subject matter in the major and minor fields also
may be required of the candidate. Written examinations, when re-
quired, may not be held earlier than the end of the first month of
the last semester in residence, and not later than one week before
the comprehensive oral examination. See Summary of Procedures
for the Master's Degree below.
MASTER'S DEGREE IN A PROFESSIONAL FIELD
This degree is offered for students who are interested in the
more advanced applications of fundamental principles to specialized
fields rather than in the acquisition of the broader background in
advanced scientific studies which would fit them for careers in re-
THE GRADUATE CATALOG 33
search. Students working for this degree ordinarily will terminate
their graduate work at this point.
Examples of the types of degrees that may be awarded upon com-
pletion of the course of study in a professional field are Master of
Education, Master of Forestry, Master of Agricultural Engineering,
Master of Applied Mathematics, Master of Experimental Statistics,
Master of Electrical Engineering, and Master of Textile Technology.
The chief characteristic of these degrees is that the changes
made in requirements permit, in greater measure, the satisfaction of
what are represented as professional needs than do the requirements
for the conventional Master of Science degree.
Language Requirements
The candidate for a master's degree in a professional field is ex-
empt from the requirement of a reading knowledge of a modern
foreign language.
Thesis Requirements
In the School of Education the thesis requirement for the master's
degree in each of the specialized fields may be waived by the de-
partment in which the degree is sought. When the thesis require-
ment is waived the student must complete the course "Introduction
to Educational Research," or a departmental course in research and
a problem report. A thesis is not required in the Master of Forestry,
Master of Applied Mathematics, Master of Experimental Statistics,
Master of Electrical Engineering and Master of Textile Technology
programs, nor for professional degrees in the departments of the
School of Agriculture and Life Sciences.
Other Requirements
The other requirements for the master's degree in a professional
field are the same as for the Master of Science degree.
MASTER OF AGRICULTURE DEGREE
This plan is offered for students interested in advanced training
in the broad field of agriculture but whose responsibility is not
in research. The requirements for the degree are designed to pro-
vide an opportunity for professional training without narrow spe-
cialization for those who plan to devote their lives to some phase
of practical agriculture. Among the individuals interested in this
degree are agricultural extension workers and foreign students who
are in action or educational programs. The proposed plan differs
from the plan for the Master of Science degree in the following
principal respects:
1. A total of thirty-six semester credits is required.
2. A minimum of four semester credits in special problems is
34 THE GRADUATE CATALOG
required. Not more than six semester credits in special prob-
lems will be allowed. This work replaces the research thesis
requirement for the Master of Science degree.
3. There are no specific requirements as to courses in the 600
group.
4. A reading knowledge of a modern foreign language is not re-
quired.
In all other respects the requirements for the Master of Agricul-
ture degree are the same as those for the Master of Science degree.

Wood Science and Technology
Zoology
The doctor's degree symbolizes the fact that the recipient is
capable of undertaking original research and scholarly work at the
highest levels without supervision. Therefore, the Doctor of Philos-
ophy degree is not granted on the basis of successful completion of
a given amount of course work, but rather upon the demonstration
by the candidate of a comprehensive knowledge and high attain-
ment in scholarship and research in a specialized field of study.
These attainments are determined by the quality of the dissertation
which the candidate prepares to report the results of original
investigations and by passing successfully a series of rigorous and
comprehensive examinations on the special and related fields of
study.
38 THE GRADUATE CATALOG
Course of Study
At the time of admission the student should, with the advice of
the chairman of the department, elect a major field. During the stu-
dent's first semester in residence, an advisory committee of at least
four members will be appointed by the graduate dean, after consul-
tation with the department head, to prepare with the student a plan
of graduate work. Four copies of the program, signed by all mem-
bers of the advisory committee and the department head or graduate
administrator, are referred to the graduate dean for approval.
When approved, three copies are returned to the department head,
one being retained in the department files, a second copy is given
to the chairman of the advisory committee, and the third copy is
given to the student. The subject of the dissertation must appear
on the plan of work and any subsequent changes in the subject of
the thesis or in the plan of graduate work must be reported to the
Graduate School for approval.
There are no definite requirements in credit hours for the doctor's
degree. Emphasis is placed upon a comprehensive knowledge of a
well defined and recognized field and related subjects. Each student
will have a major and one or two minor areas of specialization. The
minor field ordinarily will consist of at least twenty semester credit
hours. These may fall in an allied department or in the major de-
partment. A minor in the department of the major is permitted only
when the department offers recognized divisions of study other than
that designated as the major field.
Residence
For the Doctor of Philosophy degree, the student is expected to
be registered for graduate work for at least six semesters beyond the
bachelor's degree at some accredited graduate school. The amount
of work from other institutions credited to the fulfillment of degree
requirements will be determined by the dean after consultation
with the student's advisory committee at the time the plan of grad-
uate work is filed.
At least two residence credits, as defined below, must be secured
in continuous residence (registration in consecutive semesters) as
a graduate student at some branch of the consolidated University
of North Carolina. Failure to take work during the summer does
not break the continuity; however, summer school work can be used
to fulfill this requirement.
Residence credit is based on the number of credits of graduate
work beyond the bachelor's degree carried in a given term. During
a regular semester, residence credit is calculated in the following
manner:
Semester Credits Residence Credits
9 or more 1
6-8 %
less than six* %
* Including registration for thesis preparation on campus.
THE GRADUATE CATALOG 39
The residence credit for a six-week summer term is only one-half
the corresponding amount for a regular semester; i.e., six semester
credits carry 1/3 residence credit and less than six credits, 1/6 resi-
dence credit. If a student registers for a twelve-week summer term,
the residence credit is computed as for regular semesters. If a
student registers for both twelve-week and six-week summer terms,
the residence credit is computed separately for each type and
totaled, with the stipulation that no more than one residence credit
can be earned in a given summer.
The candidate must complete all requirements for the degree,
including the final examination on his dissertation, within a period
of seven calendar years from the date of admission to candidacy for
the degree.
Languages
A reading knowledge of scientific literature in two modern foreign
languages or a comprehension in depth of one language is required
for the Doctor of Philosophy degree.
Comprehension in depth is to be interpreted as a proven ability
in the oral and composition elements of a particular language as
well as the reading knowledge normally required. Ph.D. students
desiring to offer one language in depth should consult with the head
of the Department of Modern Languages as to the specific courses
to be followed to achieve this comprehension. Specific arrange-
ments may differ, depending upon the student's previous background
in the language. It is emphasized that students choosing to achieve
competence in depth in one language will generally find this alter-
native more rigorous than proof of reading ability in two languages.
If the student elects to work in two languages, the languages
may be a combination of Romance and Slavic, Romance and Ger-
manic, or Slavic and Germanic.
Students whose native tongue is some language other than Eng-
lish may use English as one of the languages required for the
Doctor of Philosophy degree. When English is submitted in partial
fulfillment of the language requirements, the native language may
not be used to satisfy one of the language requirements.
The Dissertation
The doctoral dissertation presents the results of the candidate's
.original investigations in the field of his major interest. It must
represent a contribution to knowledge, adequately supported by
data and written in a manner consistent with high standards of
excellence in scholarship. Detailed instructions relating to the
thesis may be obtained from the Graduate Office.
Publication of the results obtained in the thesis investigation is
expected. Each copy of the thesis must be accompanied by an ab-
stract of approximately 500 words.
The dissertation will be examined by all members of the examin-
40 THE GRADUATE CATALOG
ing committee and must receive their approval to be acceptable to
the Graduate Office.
Two copies of the dissertation in final form, signed by all mem-
bers of the student's advisory committee, and five copies of the
abstract must be presented to the Graduate School not later than
four weeks before the date on which the degree is to be awarded.
North Carolina State now has an agreement with University
Microfilms, Inc., of Ann Arbor, Michigan, by which all doctoral
dissertations are microfilmed and abstracts of the dissertations are
published in Dissertation Abstracts.
Examinations
Not earlier than the end of the second year of graduate study and
not later than the midpoint of the semester immediately preceding
that in which the degree is expected, each doctoral student is re-
quired to pass general comprehensive examinations (known as the
qualifying or preliminary examinations). If summer sessions are
involved, the two consecutive summer sessions are, for these pur-
poses, considered as equivalent to one semester. The examinations
are given by an examining committee of graduate faculty members
appointed by the graduate dean after consultation with the head of
the department in which the student's major work has been taken.
The examining committee usually consists of the student's advisory
committee and a representative of the Graduate School, but may
include other members of the graduate faculty. The examinations
are open to all members of the graduate faculty who may care to
attend.
Authorization for the qualifying examination is requested of the
Graduate School by the chairman of the student's advisory com-
mittee when the major part of the student's program of course work
has been completed and when, in judgment of the committee, the
student is prepared to devote the greater part of his time to the
prosecution of his research study. Members of the examining com-
mittee will be notified of their appointment by the Graduate Office.
Official printed forms will be supplied to the chairman of the exam-
ining committee for a report of the results of the examination.
The examination consists of two parts: (1) written examinations
and (2) an oral examination held before the entire examining com-
mittee. When, in the judgment of the chairman of the student's
advisory committee the student is ready for the written examina-
tions, arrangements may be made. Two approaches are acceptable.
In the first, the chairman requests examination questions from each
member of the examining committee. Each set of questions is given
to the student by the chairman in any order that may seem appro-
priate. The questions, together with the student's answers, are then
returned to the members of the committee for grading. This proce-
dure is still used by departments having a relatively small number
of doctoral candidates. Many of the larger departments, however,
THE GRADUATE CATALOG 41
have found it impractical to have separate written examinations
prepared by each student's committee and have instituted depart-
mental written examinations to be used for all candidates. These
examinations are given several times during the year and scheduled
dates are announced well in advance. Where written departmental
examinations of this kind are made available, the student majoring
or minoring in the field of the department will be expected to make
arrangements for taking these examinations. Questions on written
examinations may cover any phase of the course work taken by the
student during the period of his graduate study or any subject
logically related and basic to an understanding of the subject mat-
ter of the major and minor areas of study. They should be designed
to measure the student's mastery of these subject matter fields and
the adequacy of his preparation for research investigations.
Upon satisfactory completion of the written examinations the
student must pass an oral examination before the entire examining
committee. This examination is usually held within a week after
the chairman of the examining committee has certified to the Grad-
uate School that the student has completed satisfactorily the writ-
ten examinations. The members of the examining committee will be
notified by the Graduate School of the time and place arranged for
the oral examination. The oral examination is designed to test the
student's ability to relate factual knowledge to specific circum-
stances. In the oral examination the student is expected to use his
knowledge with accuracy and promptness and to demonstrate that
his thinking is not limited to the facts learned in course work.
A unanimous vote of approval is required for passing the pre-
liminary examination. Approval may be conditioned, however, upon
the completion of additional work in some particular field to the
satisfaction of the committee. In case a single dissenting vote is
cast, the course of action to be taken will become a matter for deci-
sion by the Administrative Board. Upon receiving the approval of
the examining committee the student is admitted to candidacy for
the doctorate.
A final oral examination is also required. During a normal aca-
demic year, an interval of at least eight months must elapse between
admission to candidacy and the final oral examination. If summer
sessions are involved, this interval may be interpreted to include
two consecutive summer sessions and one academic semester.
This examination is held after the dissertation has been com-
pleted, and consists of a defense by the candidate of the methods
used and the conclusions reached in his research study. The exam-
ination is conducted by an examining committee. The examining
committee usually includes the student's advisory committee, plus
a representative of the Graduate School, although this procedure
is not always adopted. The examining committee is appointed by
the graduate dean after consultation with the head of the student's
major department.
Failure of a student to pass either the preliminary or the final
42 THE GRADUATE CATALOG
examination terminates his graduate work at this institution unless
otherwise recommended by the examining committee. No re-exam-
ination may be given until at least one full semester has elapsed
since the first examination. Only one re-examination is permitted.
See Summary of Procedures for Doctor of Philosophy Degree
below.
Admission to Candidacy
A student is admitted to candidacy after he has successfully
passed the preliminary examinations. The language requirements
must be fulfilled before permission to take the preliminary exam-
ination is granted. Admission to candidacy must be obtained not
later than the midpoint of the semester immediately preceding that
in which the degree is expected.
Additional Information
A booklet containing detailed instruction about the form of the
dissertation may be obtained from the Graduate School.
Further information concerning graduate work at North Carolina
State University may be secured from Dr. Walter J. Peterson, Dean
of the Graduate School, North Carolina State University at Raleigh,
Raleigh, North Carolina.

DEPARTMENT OF ADULT EDUCATION
GRADUATE FACULTY
Professor: Edgar John Boone, Head
Associate Professors: Robert John Dolan, Emily H. Quinn
The Department of Adult Education offers programs of study
leading to the Master of Adult Education and Master of Science
degrees with a major in adult education.
The program is based upon an interdisciplinary approach and is
designed to provide graduate students the opportunity to develop a
broad and comprehensive understanding of adult education and a high
level of professional competence in conducting research. Bolstering
the interdisciplinary base of the graduate program is the Graduate
Institute of Adult Education, administered by an Administrative
Board, which includes the deans of the Schools of Agriculture and
Life Sciences, Education, Liberal Arts, and the Graduate School at
North Carolina State University, and the dean of the School of Home
Economics at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
A candidate for the master's degree must acquire a comprehensive
understanding of the adult and society, and the theories of learning,
social action, group processes, communication and planning requisite
to effecting change among people. While a basic comprehension of
these relevant theories is the first essential, the candidate must also
understand their interrelationships and how they apply to adult edu-
cation. The degree candidate must present a thesis based on his own

The Department of Animal Science offers programs leading to the
degrees of Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy in three sec-
tions (Animal Breeding, Animal Diseases, and Nutrition) that are
functionally oriented, and in two sections (Animal Husbandry and
Dairy Husbandry) that are commodity oriented. The interrelation-
ships among these sections are such that a student who chooses any
one benefits from close association with the others. The goals of all
are to provide programs of interest and challenge, offering students
opportunities to develop creative ability to the degree that they will
have the knowledge and the motivation to contribute constructively in
their chosen profession and in closely related fields.
The availability of a variety of modern laboratories, specialized
equipment, and experimental subjects enables the student to become
familiar with the tools of research and their use in expanding knowl-
edge in the various segments of animal science. The research exposure
in fulfilling the requirements for degrees, more than any other single
factor, determines the specialization characteristics in animal science.
Students in the Animal Breeding Section concentrate on problems
pertaining to efficient utilization of superior germ plasm. Emphasis is
given to quantative genetics and reproductive physiology. Experi-
mental subjects include not only livestock but also small animals.
Among the facilities is a laboratory building designed and used to
study various factors affecting reproduction.
Students in the Animal Disease Section may specialize in pathology,
parasitology, veterinary bacteriology, virology or other phases of ani-
mal disease. For research and training in these areas, a modern build-
ing including appropriate laboratories and equipment is provided.
Students in the Nutrition Section are trained primarily in the funda-
mental aspects of the science of this field. Programs are oriented
toward the basic phases of nutrition, including metabolism of minerals,
lipids, higher carbohydrates, proteins, and microbes; physiology and
biochemistry of digestion; and biochemical evaluation of nutrient
sources. Excellent laboratory facilities, biochemical and animal, are
available.
Students in the Animal Husbandry Section may select problems in
nutrition, developmental physiology, carcass quality, production ef-
ficiency and interrelationships of breeding, and feeding and manage-
ment of species of livestock classified as meat animals.
Students in the Dairy Husbandry Section have the option of nutri-
tion, physiology or management of dairy cattle for major emphasis
in their programs.
THE GRADUATE CATALOG 49
In both of the husbandry sections, livestock, farms, feeding facili-
ties, and laboratories are such that a variety of problems may be used
effectively in graduate programs.
Strong collateral support through course offerings and research
cooperation is available in the areas of biochemistry, physiology,
genetics, microbiology, statistics, economics, sciences, and food sci-
ences. Therefore, graduate programs in animal science offer oppor-
tunities for the multi-dimensional development of students.

Department of Biochemistry offers courses of study leading to the
degrees of Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy.
A student entering into graduate study in biochemistry should
have a bachelor's degree in chemistry or a biological science. The
undergraduate program of studies should include two semesters of
organic chemistry, one of quantitative analysis, and two semesters of
physical chemistry. Students who lack undergraduate courses con-
sidered essential for graduate study in biochemistry may be admitted
to the graduate program; however, appropriate course work to make
up academic deficiencies must be successfully completed early in their
graduate studies.
Courses in General Biochemistry (BCH 551) and Intermediary
Metabolism (BCH 655 and 657) are required as part of the program
leading to advanced degrees (majors and minors) in biochemistry.
In addition to completing a program of studies approved by his
advisory committee, a candidate for an advanced degree in biochemis-
try is expected to participate regularly in biochemistry seminars
throughout his graduate residence, and to engage in independent re-
search leading to the completion of a scholarly thesis. Research
programs are currently being conducted in biochemical genetics,
enzyme structure and mechanisms, inhibition kinetics, biochemical
aspects of toxicology, biochemical control mechanisms, photosynthesis
developmental biochemistry of plants, methylation reactions in plants,
lipid metabolism, volatile fatty acid metabolism, biochemical role of
copper, metal ion interactions in vivo and in vitro, and oxygen trans-
port mechanisms.

The Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering offers
programs of study for the Master of Science, Doctor of Philosophy and
Master of Agricultural Engineering degrees. A bachelor's degree in
agricultural engineering from an accredited curriculum or its equiva-
lent entitles an individual to one of two approaches to graduate study.
For those primarily interested in existing technologies, the Master of
Agricultural Engineering program permits selections from a variety
of advanced technical courses. Such study is appropriate to certain
THE GRADUATE CATALOG 53
supervisory and managerial positions, technical sales, service and pro-
motional work.
The Master of Science program takes into account the increasing
rigor of modern engineering. Emphasis here is on mathematics and
theory as the unifying link between otherwise widely divergent fields
of knowledge which are prerequisite to effective engineering advances
in agricultural production. As the student acquires competence in the
advanced methods of science, he derives mathematical models for re-
duction of observational knowledge to engineering applications.
Study for the Doctor of Philosophy degree builds on the Master of
Science program by an additional year of formal study followed by a
period of independent research to satisfy dissertation requirements.
Unusual opportunities are available for graduate student participa-
tion in departmental research programs. Current projects include:
Animal Environment; Watershed Hydrology, Drainage and Irriga-
tion; Crop Processing and Materials Handling; Field Production
Operations; Fruit and Vegetable Mechanization; Pesticide Applica-
tions; Human Engineering; and Operations Research. The systems
approach to operations in crop and animal production provides a va-
riety of areas within which to define timely investigations.
Graduate students have access to a research shop, manned by
competent mechanics.
Information concerning fellowships and assistantships in biological
and agricultural engineering may be obtained from the head of the
department.

The Department of Chemical Engineering offers programs of ad-
vanced study and research leading to the Master of Science and Doctor
of Philosophy degrees. The Chemical Engineering faculty seeks to
provide a close association between faculty and students, to promote
a common interest in advanced professional study, and to encourage
intensive investigation and top-level creative activity.
Graduate work in chemical engineering is of increasing importance
since it enables the student to attain a higher degree of specialized
professional competence and at the same time to secure greater mas-
tery of the sciences underlying the quantitative aspects of chemical
technology. The demand for chemical engineers with advanced train-
ing is greater now than at any time since the beginning of the chemi-
cal industry.
Students with one or more years of training beyond the baccalau-
reate are especially needed for fundamental and applied research,
process development and design, production, and even for manage-
ment, technical service and sales. Consulting work and careers in
teaching usually demand a period of advanced study well beyond the
normal four-year undergraduate program.
At present, major emphasis in the department is concerned with
basic studies of unit operations such as fluid flow, heat transfer at
high and low temperatures, mass transfer distillation, and solvent
extraction, with thermodynamics, reaction kinetics, phase equalibria,
plastics technology, process measurement and control and many other
aspects of chemical technology. The varied interests of an exceptionally
well-qualified staff provide guidance for advanced study in any phase
of chemical engineering. Strong supporting programs are available
in mathematics, statistics, physics, chemistry, nuclear engineering,
metallurgy, the life sciences, textiles, and other fields of engineering.
The Department of Chemical Engineering occupies the four-story
east wing of the Riddick Engineering Laboratories building. Modern,
well-equipped laboratories are provided with all necessary services for
both teaching and research. A wide variety of special facilities such
as analog and digital computers, X-ray equipment, spectrophotometers,
electron microscope, electromechanical testing machine, electronic con-
trollers and recorders are available for graduate research.
In cooperation with the Department of Engineering Research, mem-
THE GRADUATE CATALOG 63
bers of the chemical engineering staff conduct a number of important
research projects which are supported by industry, state, and federal
agencies. Graduate students assisting on these projects not only ac-
quire financial assistance but gain valuable research experience on
problems of current interest.
In addition to research assistantships, the department offers each
year a limited number of graduate assistantships for part-time work
in the department. These may be for teaching, laboratory preparation,
or research, as the need arises. Appointments are for one academic
year of nine months for half-time work and, at present, carry a
stipend of $2,700 renewable upon evidence of satisfactory performance.

The Department of Civil Engineering offers programs of study lead-
ing to Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. Graduate
THE GRADUATE CATALOG 71
course work is available in the fields of sanitary engineering, soil
mechanics and foundation engineering, structural engineering, and
transportation engineering. Whereas the Master of Science program
would normally include course work in only one of these specialty fields,
a program of study leading to the Doctor of Philosophy degree would
encompass course work in a related combination of these fields.
Laboratory facilities for sanitary engineering research work in-
clude an hydraulics laboratory, a chemical laboratory, and a biological
laboratory.
For work in soil mechanics and foundation engineering, a fully-
equipped laboratory with modern soil-testing equipment is available.
Facilities for structural engineering research include a well-equipped
physical testing laboratory, an air-controlled structural models lab-
oratory, and a special laboratory for testing large models or full-scale
structures.
Transportation engineering facilities are a bituminous laboratory,
an airphoto interpretation laboratory, a photogrammetry laboratory,
and a traffic engineering laboratory provided with traffic control
devices.
In addition to these facilities, equipment for research is made avail-
able by the Department of Engineering Research.
Some unique opportunities for research are offered the graduate
students in civil engineering by reason of the location of North Caro-
lina State University in the state's capital city. There are a number
of cooperative research endeavors with municipal and state govern-
mental agencies that provide funds for research assistantships.
The resources of the institution also provide unique opportunities
for combining studies in civil engineering with studies in other re-
lated fields.
The broad nature of water resources problems has been recognized
by the creation of a "Water Resources Research Institute" under the
joint direction of the Deans of the Graduate School, the School of
Engineering and the School of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Stu-
dents in the major disciplines are urged to select one of the many
aspects of the control, conservation and management of this resource
as a topic for study and research.
In recognition of the need by industry for personnel with training
in water supply and the abatement of water pollution, the civil engi-
neering department suggests that students in the many curricula
leading to positions in industry (food processing, textile chemistry,
pulp and paper technology, chemical engineering, zoology and others)
consider courses of instruction in sanitary engineering for minor
sequences for advanced degrees. Among the courses appropriate for
such students are the following: CE 484, Water Resources Engineer-
ing II; CE 571, Theory of Water and Sewage Treatment; CE 573,
Analysis of Water and Sewage; CE 673, Industrial Water Supply and
Waste Disposal; and CE 674, Stream Sanitation.
There exists a growing need for the coordination of transportation
facilities and land planning, and for individuals with competence in
72 THE GRADUATE CATALOG
both fields. To fulfill this need, an advanced program leading to a post-
baccalaureate degree in engineering, majoring in transportation engi-
neering, and to the degree of Master of Regional Engineering is
offered through the combined resources of the Department of Civil
Engineering at North Carolina State University and the Department
of City and Regional Planning at the University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill. Qualified students have the opportunity to schedule their
courses to enable them to qualify for both advanced degrees.
Information concerning the joint program may be obtained from
the Department of Civil Engineering at North Carolina State in
Raleigh or from the Department of City and Regional Planning at the
University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill.

The Department of Economics offers programs of study leading
to the Master of Economics, the Master of Science in Agricultural
Economics and the Doctor of Philosophy degrees. The curriculum
includes courses in economic theory, history of economic thought
and fields of specialization, including econometrics, marketing,
agricultural economics, international trade, economic development
and business management analysis. Special attention is given in the
curriculum to the development of quantitative analysis skills in
economics and to an understanding of economic factors and public
policies as they affect regional, national and international develop-
ment.
Collateral fields of study include statistics, history, politics, so-
ciology, psychology, education and other related fields.
The increasing emphasis being placed on economic growth and
development in the South, the nation and throughout the world has
resulted in an increased demand for well-trained workers in eco-
nomics. Graduates of the department with a Master of Economics
or a Master of Science degree have opportunities to work in industry,
for federal and state agencies and to teach, particularly in the
rapidly-expanding community college or junior college systems.
Doctor of Philosophy graduates have opportunities for employ-
ment as teachers and research workers in universities throughout

The Department of Engineering Mechanics offers graduate pro-
grams leading to the Master of Science and the Doctor of Philosophy
THE GRADUATE CATALOG 97
degrees. The faculty of the department offers a broad range of
graduate courses both for its own students seeking advanced de-
grees and for inclusion in the graduate programs of students in
allied areas of engineering and in the physical and mathematical
sciences.
Graduate studies in engineering mechanics embrace several broad
areas including fluid mechanics, solid mechanics, continuum me-
chanics, dynamics, and structural mechanics. Each of these areas is
of considerable importance in current research, to the extent that
professional demands in these areas by space-related industry and
governmental agencies is second only to those for the electronics
specialties. Professional interests of the faculty are represented by
courses devoted to the elastic and plastic behavior of solids, viscous
and compressible fluid flow, the generalized behavior of matter
when described as a continuum, and in sequences devoted to the
theory of periodic and aperiodic vibrations and to space mechanics.
Courses for individual programs may be chosen rather broadly
from the listings indicated, and special attention is directed to the
reservoir of courses appropriate to mechanics studies, selected from
closely allied engineering specialties. Beginning graduate students
ordinarily will choose a program to encompass several of the major
areas, thus establishing a broad base for subsequent studies at the
advanced graduate level, usually concentrated about one particular
area of research.
Graduate research in mechanics in any of the major areas out-
lined may follow the lines of either analytical or experimental
investigations. The development of new research techniques for
both types of endeavor is of prime concern to the field of mechanics
and the laboratory complex of engineering mechanics includes a
number of research laboratories. One of these is equipped for
dynamic studies in viscoelasticity, one for research in fracture
mechanics, and another for static and dynamic studies in stress
concentration. Whether a student is inclined toward analytical or
toward experimental investigations, he ordinarily will gain expe-
rience in both types of endeavor prior to his independent research
activity.

The Department of Entomology offers graduate training leading
to the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. The
major areas for specialization are physiology, toxicology, ecology,
behavior, nutrition, taxonomy, economic entomology, and medical
and veterinary entomology.
The department is particularly well qualified to provide intensive
training in areas requiring support by allied disciplines. The de-
THE GRADUATE CATALOG 101
partment is a participant in the program of the Institute of Bio-
logical Sciences (see page 17) and the departmental staff includes
members of the faculty of physiology and biochemistry.
The extensive program of research, supported by federal granting
agencies, industry and the University, provides opportunities for
graduate training through actual participation in research.
Opportunities exist for training in both applied and fundamental
phases of entomology. The applied phases are strongly influenced
by the state's agriculture, in which tobacco, cotton, peanuts, live-
stock and forestry are important components. A cooperative ar-
rangement with the School of Forestry provides for majors in
forestry entomology.
Training in fundamental phases centers around programs such
as the synthesis of lipids, comparative biochemistry, enzymology,
toxicology, sensory behavior, and nutrition. The program in medical
and veterinary entomology provides the opportunity for training in
minor subjects at the School of Public Health at the University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
The research program is supported by a complex of modern de-
partmental facilities, including seven recently completed biotron
units, four laboratories for biochemical research, together with
supporting greenhouses and rearing rooms. The extensive facilities
of the Nuclear Reactor Project are also available for support of
departmental projects. Other on-campus research facilities are avail-
able, as well as some others in the Research Triangle area.
The student is given wide latitude in the selection of his major
and minor subjects from the varied programs offered. Stress is placed
on development of independent thought, broad training in funda-
mentals and mastery of investigative techniques.

partment of (Mathematical) Statistics at Chapel Hill in order to
strengthen the offerings in statistical theory. (See University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill courses listed below.) Introductory
courses in the three departments are coordinated so that it is easy
for a beginning statistics graduate student to transfer from one
institution of the consolidated university to another. The three
departments are affiliated with the Institute of Statistics (see page
17). Some doctoral theses in experimental statistics are directed by
members of the graduate faculty of the two statistics departments
at Chapel Hill.
Members of the department conduct research in biomathematics,
non-linear systems, time series and spectral analysis, operations
research, probability and stochastic processes, non-parametric in-
ference, the development of statistical theory and techniques of
design and analysis for surveys and experiments, and the develop-
ment of physical and biological stochastic models. At least one staff
member consults with researchers in each of the following fields
and conducts his own research on statistical problems which are
encountered: the various agricultural sciences, quantitative gene-
tics, wildlife science (game and fish), industrial development and
engineering, physical sciences, and social sciences and economics.
A graduate student who majors in experimental statistics may
specialize in any one of these fields, with his minor in the associated
departments, or with a strong mathematical background he may
prefer to minor in mathematics or mathematical statistics. For the
graduate student who wishes to minor in statistics, the department
has developed a curriculum tailored to his needs. Many employers
are offering added inducements for research personnel who have
such a minor. The department cooperates with other graduate
THE GRADUATE CATALOG 105
departments in order to provide the type of courses needed for their
students and to provide a staff to participate in their graduate
programs.
A program of training in biomathematics at the doctoral and
postdoctoral levels recently has been initiated in the Department of
Experimental Statistics. This program requires that the student
become well-grounded in four areas — mathematics, statistics, physi-
cal science, and some phase of biology. Fellowships and assistant-
ships are available for doctoral students and several fellowships
for post-doctorals. Mathematical biology and related areas are now
developing rapidly and there is much opportunity for properly
trained people.
The department is also cooperating with eight other departments
at Raleigh and Chapel Hill in the development of a strong minor
program in Operations Research at both the master's and doctoral
levels. Details regarding the Operations Research graduate pro-
gram are presented on page 169.
In addition to its consulting services, the department provides
computer programming and other assistance to the Agricultural
Experiment Station staff in close cooperation with the campus Com-
puting Center. This work is currently augmented by a computer
facility grant from the National Institutes of Health. The depart-
ment also provides a desk calculator computing service for sets of
data not economical to program for the digital computer. It fur-
nishes several federal agencies, other states, and private concerns
with research and consulting services on a contract basis. This
work supplies live problems on which graduate students may ac-
quire experience and maturity.
The Department of Experimental Statistics is located in a new
building convenient to classroom and central library facilities.
Ample space for graduate students is provided adjacent to faculty
offices. A well-equipped desk computing laboratory is conveniently
located in the graduate student area.
The Computing Center is in the process of being equipped with a
Systems 360-Model 30 computer which will serve primarily as a
tele-communications unit to the Triangle Universities Computation
Center Systems 360-Model 75, a very large and fast computer. A
smaller remote processing unit will be located in the statistics
building, convenient for use in computer programming courses and
student research.
The department has approximately twenty graduate fellowships
and assistantships at stipends adjusted to the previous training and
experience of the recipients. Included among these have been indus-
trial fellowships, National Science Foundation traineeships, Na-
tional Aeronautics and Space Agency fellowships, National Insti-
tutes of Health fellowships in biomathematics, and National
Defense Education Act fellowships in econometrics jointly with the
Department of Economics. Students who have a major in an applied
field and who have a minimum of one year of calculus, or students
106 THE GRADUATE CATALOG
who have a major in statistics or mathematics are encouraged to
apply for these fellowships and assistantships. Students who have
no advanced calculus or matrix algebra are advised to make ar-
rangements to take these courses in the summer prior to entrance
in the graduate program. If a graduate assistant has a satisfactory
course record, he can complete the requirements for the master's
degree in two years (in less time if he takes courses during the
summer). A graduate assistant with a master's degree in statistics
can complete the requirements for the doctorate in two years. Grad-
uate fellows may be able to complete the requirements in somewhat
less time.
Most fields of research, development, production, and distribution
are seeking persons trained in statistical theory and methods. The
demand is equally strong from universities, agricultural and engi-
neering experimental stations, national defense agencies, other fed-
eral agencies, and a wide variety of industrial concerns. There is a
need for experimental statisticians with the master's degree as well
as for those with the doctorate.
North Carolina State University is represented on the Committee
on Statistics of the Southern Regional Education Board. This com-
mittee sponsors a continuing series of graduate summer sessions.
In 1966, the host institution is tentatively scheduled to be the Uni-
versity of Georgia. Each of the sponsoring institutions will accept
the credits earned by students in the summer session as residence
credit. The courses are arranged to provide consecutive work in
successive summers. Information regarding these courses may be
obtained from the Department of Experimental Statistics or the
Dean of the Graduate School.

The Department of Food Science was established at North Caro-
lina State in 1961 to integrate the various scientific disciplines basic
to the preparation, processing, packaging, and distribution of foods.
Programs of graduate study leading to the Master of Science and
Doctor of Philosophy degrees are offered. In order to pursue gradu-
ate study in the field of food science, the student must possess
adequate information in the fundamentals of the area in which he
expects to specialize. The student's undergraduate education should
have prepared him in mathematics, chemistry, biological and physi-
cal sciences, as well as in the humanities and language skills.
In the area of food chemistry, the student can conduct research
and study in peroxidation of lipids in foods, flavor and color chemis-
try, protein denaturation, and various problems of biophysical chem-
istry.
Engineering aspects of food science are offered in the principles
of automation and industrial engineering in food plant operations.
The field of food products technology is concerned with the devel-
opment of new foods and the improved quality of existing foods.
Food microbiology is designed to offer study and research in the
fundamental principles of microbiology involved in promoting
growth of microorganisms essential to the manufacture of various
foods, and the control of unwanted microorganisms in foods.
The department's physical facilities include research laboratories
equipped for chemistry, engineering and microbiology, and processing
facilities and equipment for dairy, fruit, vegetable, poultry, peanut,
seafood and meat products.
The Department of Food Science maintains close liaison with the
faculties of supporting departments. Depending on the area chosen
by the student for his major interest, he will have strong support
for his minor from faculties in chemistry, economics, engineering,
genetics, microbiology, and statistics.
A graduate program in food science and sanitation is offered by
the Department of Food Science and the-T>epartment of Environ-
mental Sciences and Engineering of the University of North Caro-
lina at Chapel Hill. This program is designed to provide an enrich-
ment in environmental health to graduate students majoring in food
science at Raleigh; similarly, it provides an enrichment in food
science to graduate students majoring in environmental sciences
and engineering at Chapel Hill.

The School of Forestry, through its departments of Forest Man-
agement and Wood Science and Technology, offers graduate work
leading to the master's and the Doctor of Philosophy degrees. Two
types of master's programs are available to the graduate student.
The professional degrees of Master of Forestry and Master of
Wood Technology are offered for students interested in advanced
applications of fundamental principles to the specialized fields of
forestry. The course program emphasizes professional specialization.
There is no language requirement and the thesis requirement is
optional.
THE GRADUATE CATALOG 117
The degree of Master of Science is offered for the student who
contemplates a career in research, in teaching, or both. The course
of study for this degree provides for a comprehensive knowledge
of forest management or wood technology and furnishes the train-
ing essential for successful research in these fields. Training is
broadly-based and emphasizes fundamental science. There is both
a thesis and language requirement.
The Doctor of Philosophy degree is available to forestry students
of high intellectual capacity who can demonstrate the ability to
undertake original research and scholarly work at the highest levels.
Candidates for the master's degree fall under one of the following
categories :
1. Students with a bachelor's degree in forestry from a school of
recognized standing. These students may secure the master's degree
in one year.
2. Students with a bachelor's degree, other than in forestry, from
a college, university, or scientific school of high standing. These
students may secure the master's degree in two academic years
provided they have the requirements in botany, chemistry, and
mathematics required in the freshman and sophomore years of the
curricula. Candidates for the degree of Master of Forestry or Mas-
ter of Science in forest management who do not hold an under-
graduate degree in forestry must start their program with the
summer camp.
3. Students not possessing a bachelor's degree may earn, through
proper selection of courses, a Bachelor of Science degree in one of
the forestry curricula at the end of the fourth year and a master's
degree in forestry or wood technology at the end of the fifth year.
Study and training in forestry, the profession of managing forest
lands and using the products of these lands, prepares young people
for careers in the forests, in the wood-using industry, in business,
government, and education.
Nearly 60 percent of the southeastern region of the United States
is in forest lands that produce 38 percent of the nation's lumber
and 56 percent of the pulpwood. The economy and well-being of the
South depend greatly on efficient utilization of forest products.
New wood-using industries have moved into the southeast on an
unprecedented scale and existing industries employ more than
650,000 persons and have an annual output in excess of $6,000,-
000,000. These industries, together with government agencies, de-
mand a large number of technically trained men with a wide variety
of specialized training.
Forestry provides wide and diversified employment opportunities
that can be grouped under the headings of management and utiliza-
tion. Forest management generally leads to outdoor jobs concerned
with operating public or private forest properties. Utilization jobs
usually lead to private industry concerned with manufacturing
processes or merchandising.
Examples of specific types of employment include:
118 THE GRADUATE CATALOG
Management — forest managers, forest or park rangers, forest
wildlife managers, watershed managers, forest recreationists, forest
soils specialists, forest entomologists or pathologists, extension
foresters, consulting foresters, municipal foresters, research work-
ers.
Utilization — plywood technologists, logging engineers, mill man-
agers, gluing technologists, pulp technologists, finishing supervisors,
preservation technologists, merchandisers, production specialists,
research workers, teachers, wood chemists, quality control managers,
technical salesmen, wood technologists.
Graduate preparation is essential for specialists, who are needed
in many fields. Training through the master's degree is almost a
requirement for men entering college teaching and public or indus-
trial research. State and federal agencies as well as forest industries
are employing research investigators at unprecedented levels. The
demand for men with advanced degrees in forestry has far exceeded
the supply for many years.
The School of Forestry is now housed in three modernly equipped
buildings on the west side of the campus. An additional $1,500,000
facility has been authorized and is under development. Two special-
ized buildings house regional programs:
The Brandon P. Hodges Wood Products Laboratory is one of the
largest and most completely equipped laboratories for training and
research in wood technology. This structure houses machining, glu-
ing, finishing, preserving, testing and research laboratories, as well
as a sawmill, dry kiln and veneer lathe.
The Reuben B. Robertson Pulp and Paper Laboratory is unique
to the South. The building contains wood preparation, chemistry,
pulping, testing and coloring laboratories as well as digesters and
a small paper machine.
The School of Forestry with five research and demonstration for-
ests containing more than 80,000 acres has excellent facilities for
field instruction. The Hofmann forest on the coastal plain and the
Hill, Schenck, Hope Valley and Goodwin forests in the Piedmont
provide a wide variety of forest types. The permanent Slocum sum-
mer camp for sophomores in forest management is located on the
Hill forest.
Research in the School of Forestry is organized as a department
of forestry research in the Agricultural Experiment Station. The
faculty of the school includes thirty-six teaching and research sci-
entists. The research program has developed into impressive pro-
portions, currently operating on an annual budget in excess of
$500,000. This program, developed on a broad base, is designed to
meet the immediate and future needs of forest owners and wood-
using industries. A substantial part of the program is in the area
of basic research — seeking new knowledge and endeavoring to
achieve breakthroughs which will open the way for new products,
techniques and markets. Basic research is a major university re-
THE GRADUATE CATALOG 119
sponsibility. Applied research also has an important role in the
research program — providing answers to today's problems and a
base for immediate improvement and efficiency.
The research program is divided into two major areas closely
interrelated: (1) forest production, protection, and recreation in the
Department of Forest Management, and (2) the processing and
utilization of wood and fiber for products such as lumber, veneer,
manufactured wood products including furniture, pulp and paper,
and wood chemicals, all in the Department of Wood Science and
Technology.
A number of research assistantships are available.

Graduate study under direction of the genetics faculty may en-
able the student to qualify for the Master of Science or the Doctor
of Philosophy degrees. A candidate for the master's degree must
acquire a thorough understanding of genetics and its relation to
other biological disciplines and must present a thesis based upon
his own research. In addition to a comprehensive knowledge of his
field, a candidate for the doctorate must demonstrate his capacity
for independent investigation and scholarship in genetics.
At North Carolina State University there are no sharp divisions
along departmental lines between theoretical and applied aspects of
genetics research. The members and associate members of the gene-
tics faculty are located in ten different departments of the Schools of
Agriculture and Life Sciences, Forestry, and Physical Sciences and
Applied Mathematics. They are studying an extremely wide range
of genetic problems and are utilizing not only the "classic" labora-
tory material (Drosophila, Habrobracon, maize, and mice) but
also farm animals and agricultural and horticultural plants of the
region. A student has, therefore, a wide choice of research problems
in any of the following fields: cytology and cytogenetics, microbial
and biochemical genetics, physiological and irradiation genetics,
forest genetics, population genetics, and the application of quanti-
tative genetics to breeding methodology.
The offices and laboratories of the department are located in
Gardner Hall with greenhouse facilities adjacent to the building.
A genetics garden for use in the intensive research with plants and
teaching functions is located three miles from the departmental
offices. The departmental staff and the associate faculty members
in Animal Science, Biochemistry, Botany, Crop Science, Horticultural
Science, Microbiology, Poultry Science, Plant Pathology, Experimental
124 THE GRADUATE CATALOG

The Department of Mathematics offers graduate studies in applied
mathematics leading to the Master of Applied Mathematics, the Mas-
ter of Science, and the Doctor of Philosophy degrees. The Master of
Applied Mathematics degree does not require a thesis or a foreign
language, but in all other respects it is the same as the Master of
Science degree. Students who are admitted to the Graduate School to
pursue studies in applied mathematics are expected to have had a
strong undergraduate major in mathematics, including a year of ad-
vanced calculus and a year of modern algebra including abstract
algebra and matrices. Those students who do not have these courses
will be required to take them in addition to the minimum number
required for the master's degree. The areas of application require
that the student offer a minor in some mathematically oriented area
such as physics, the engineering sciences, genetics, or statistics.
Individuals with graduate training in applied mathematics are in
great demand in industry, governmental laboratories, and college
teaching positions. Opportunities are many and varied in this field
and include work as a member of a research team in such areas as
satellite orbit theory, viscoelasticity, biomathematics, thermodynamics,
aerodynamics, acoustics, solid state physics, nuclear reactor theory,
geophysics, and in applications of computers in business.
The department has available a number of teaching and research
assistantships (a student holding a half-time assistantship is allowed
to carry a study load of nine semester hours). Also available for those
graduate students studying toward the doctoral degree are a limited
number of NSF, NASA, and Ford Foundation Fellowships.

uate work leading to the degrees of Master of Science and Master of
Education, with a major in mathematics education or science educa-
tion. Each student's program is individually planned by a graduate
committee and will reflect his undergraduate preparation, teaching ex-
perience, and future professional plans. Areas of specialization include
mathematics, biological science, earth science, chemistry and physics.
A minimum of thirty-six semester hours is required, of which sixty
percent must be in the area of subject matter specialization and
twenty percent in professional education. Candidates for the Master
of Education degrees are required to submit a scholarly research
paper; candidates for the Master of Science degree must conduct an
investigation culminating in a thesis. The Master of Science degree
also requires a reading knowledge of one foreign language.
Applicants must meet the admissions requirements of the Graduate
School of North Carolina State University. Applicants must also have
the approval of the Department of Mathematics and Science Educa-
tion. To be admitted to the program without subject matter de-
ficiencies, applicants must have completed a degree in which they
have reached a level of undergraduate work closely approximating the
following minimum: two years of English, one year of physics, one
year of chemistry, one and one-half years in the historical-philosophi-
cal and psychology foundations of education. In addition to the above,
those specializing in mathematics should have had three years of
mathematics ; those specializing in science should have had one year
of biology, one and preferably two years of mathematics, and two
years of advanced work in one of the sciences.
A limited number of assistantships are available. For those desiring
financial assistance, inquiries should be directed to the Department of

The Department of Mechanical Engineering offers graduate study
leading to the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees.
Entrance to the various programs in the department is normally based
upon an accredited baccalaureate degree in engineering.
At present the major emphases in graduate study are the thermal
sciences, including classical thermodynamics, heat transfer and trans-
port phenomena, statistical thermodynamics, and direct energy con-
version; gas dynamics (aerothermochemistry, aerothermodynamics,
plasmagasdynamics, magnetogasdynamics and rarefied gasdynamics),
and the mechanical sciences, such as principles of fluid motion, dynam-
ics of compressible flow and viscous fluids, vibrations, mechanical
transients and stress analysis ; the aerospace sciences of aerodynamics,
propulsion, boundary layer theory and heat transfer, and spacecraft
design.
The professional technological interests of the department are
represented by graduate courses in nuclear power plants, steam and
gas turbines, refrigeration, internal combustion engines, lubrication,
mechanics of machinery, and machine design analysis and synthesis.
Graduate programs in mechanical engineering normally include
substantial work in the basic sciences of mathematics and physics,
and study in related engineering departments is encouraged.
The fundamental objective of graduate study in this field is to pre-
pare the student for leadership in the various areas of research, teach-
ing, and design. The graduate student is placed in close association

The Department of Microbiology offers programs leading to the
Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. Both of these
degrees require a research thesis on some basic aspect of microbiology
under the direction of one of the members of the microbiology faculty
listed above.
The graduate programs in microbiology are strongly oriented to-
ward microbial physiology, microbial metabolism and microbial genet-
ics. Students applying for admission to the programs need not have
had any formal training in microbiology, but should have a bachelor's
or master's degree with a major in one of the biological or physical
sciences. Applicants are expected to have completed two semesters of
organic chemistry, two semesters of calculus and two semesters of
physics with at least C grades. However, students with deficiencies
in these areas may be accepted if their record indicates the capability
of making it up. Students applying for support in the form of fellow-
ships, traineeships or assistantships should submit scores on the Grad-
uate Record Examination.
Ai least one semester of experience as a half-time teaching assistant
is required for the doctoral degree. As a general rule the master's
program requires two calendar years beyond the bachelor's degree
and the doctoral program requires two to three years beyond the
master's level.

The Department of Mineral Industries offers graduate programs
leading to the degrees of Master of Science in ceramic engineering,
geological engineering, and metallurgical engineering, and to the Doc-
tor of Philosophy degree in ceramic engineering. Certain graduate
courses are also offered for the benefit of students majoring in other
areas who may be interested in pursuing advanced work in the
mineral industries fields.
Financial assistance is available to qualified graduate students in
the Department of Mineral Industries. Graduate assistantships permit
half-time studies in either ceramic engineering, geological engineer-
ing, or metallurgical engineering, and half-time to be devoted to
teaching or research. Also, certain sponsored fellowships and trainee-
ships that permit full time to be devoted to graduate studies are
available on a competitive basis. Applications should be made to the
department.
CERAMIC ENGINEERING
The unique characteristics of ceramics qualify them for many ad-
vanced engineering applications in space, nuclear, and industrial
technologies. Rapid expansion of this important materials discipline
present challenging opportunities for engineering and research. Ad-
vanced study is fast becoming a prerequisite for careers in significant
growth areas. North Carolina State University has been actively
engaged in post graduate teaching and research for more than three
decades and since 1950, has been the only institution in the southeast
offering the Doctor of Philosophy degree in ceramic engineering.
Recruitment for stimulating employment by nationally prominent
160 THE GRADUATE CATALOG
industrial, educational, and governmental organizations consistently
outstrips available graduate degree recipients many fold.
The graduate program is predicated upon acquisition of funda-
mental understanding of the combined influence of material chemis-
try, defect structure in the solid state, process selection and kinetics,
microstructure, environment, and service conditions upon the ultimate
performance of ceramic products. The research interests of the grad-
uate faculty currently encompass a broad spectrum of the ceramic
field. Included are materials synthesis, processing kinetics, phase rela-
tionships, constitution and structure, mechanical and dielectric prop-
erties of crystalline and vitreous materials, and design, development
and applications of ceramics and ceramic composites.
Well equipped laboratories for graduate instruction and research
are in active use and are being systematically enlarged and improved.
Broad interdisciplinary strengths are based upon related material
activities in several other curricula in the School of Engineering and
other schools of the University.
The prerequisite for graduate study in ceramic engineering is a
proficiency in undergraduate courses leading to the bachelor's degree
in ceramic engineering, or a substantial equivalent. A significant
fraction of the current student body have come to ceramics with
backgrounds in other science and engineering disciplines.
For course descriptions, see Ceramic Engineering, page 59.
GEOLOGICAL ENGINEERING
The graduate program in geological engineering is directed to the
advanced training of qualified students interested in the professional
economic applications of geological knowledge. The occupational fields
include the locating of mineral resources, and the assessing of geo-
logical conditions at the sites of large civil engineering projects.
Candidates for admission to this program should hold the Bachelor
of Geological Engineering degree or a satisfactory equivalent, prefer-
ably including a strong background in physics, chemistry, and engi-
neering sciences.
The solution of professional problems in geology is today requiring
more specialized training and quantitative methods than can be in-
cluded in an undergraduate curriculum. A person with such training
in geology finds employment with petroleum, mining, and construction
companies, governmental agencies, and educational research institu-
tions.
A great variety of problems in igneous, sedimentary, and metamor-
phic geology are to be found within a radius of fifty miles of North
Carolina State University.
Facilities are available for research in mineralogy, petrography,
economic geology, mineral dressing, and geologic problems relating to
civil engineering. Excellent collections of geological literature are
available at North Carolina State University, at the University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and at Duke University in Durham.

METALLURGICAL ENGINEERING
The rapid development of space and nuclear technology and at-
tendant materials problems has brought about a sharp increase in the
demand for trained leaders in the materials fields. There is at present
intense emphasis on advanced study and research on the fundamental
behavior of metals and alloys. From this work will come urgently-
needed improvements in metallic materials of construction to with-
stand increasingly drastic service requirements — higher stresses,
higher temperatures, corrosive and radioactive environments.
Opportunities for men with graduate training in metallurgy and
metallurgical engineering are almost unlimited. Industry and univer-
sities today need approximately four times as many metallurgists with
advanced degrees as are available. It has been estimated that by 1975
the electrical, chemical, aerospace, and nuclear industries will require
50,000 research metallurgists and metallurgical engineers. The num-
ber presently available is approximately 10,000. Present ratios indicate
that one-third to one-half of the 50,000 graduates needed should have
advanced training beyond the bachelor's degree. The shortage of grad-
uates with advanced degrees is further accentuated by the need for
qualified college faculty members to provide adequate instruction in
metallurgical and related fields.
North Carolina State University is one of the few institutions in
the South, and the only institution in North Carolina, prepared to
offer graduate instruction in metallurgical engineering. In this pro-
gram special emphasis is placed upon the application of basic physical
metallurgy to problems encountered in various engineering disciplines
including mechanical design, corrosive and reactive environments, and
nuclear reactor applications. Appropriate opportunities for graduate
thesis research are available in each of these areas. In addition to the
advanced work in metallurgical engineering, the School of Engineer-
ing also offers an excellent program of supporting courses at the
graduate level in the related fields of physics, chemistry, mathematics,
engineering mechanics, and in mechanical, chemical, ceramic, and
nuclear engineering.

The Department of Nuclear Engineering offers graduate study lead-
ing to the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees.
Courses and research are available within the department and co-
operating departments in several areas of nuclear engineering, includ-
ing reactor theory and analysis, radiation attenuation and detection,
radiation effects, energy transfer and conversion, nuclear materials,
nuclear safety and instrumentation, and radiation applications.
Among the available research facilities are: a 100-kilowatt hetero-
geneous tank-type reactor; a 30-kilocurie cobalt gamma irradiation
source; a natural uranium subcritical assembly; a 1-Mev pulsed Van
de Graaff accelerator; a pulsed neutron generator; laboratories for
neutron activation analysis; radiochemistry and gaseous discharges;
a high pressure heat transfer loop; and digital and analog computers.
Candidates for admission are expected to hold the bachelor's degree
in one of the fields of engineering or the physical sciences. Experience
in nuclear physics, advanced differential equations, and basic reactor
theory will reduce the time required for completion of the degree.
Courses in these areas can be included in the initial phases of the
graduate program. Thirty credit hours (including four for research)
and a thesis are required for the Master of Science degree. Well-
qualified students may study directly toward the Doctor of Philosophy
degree. Interdisciplinary research programs may be arranged for
graduate students in cooperation with departments in the Schools of
Engineering, Physical Sciences and Applied Mathematics, and Agri-
culture and Life Sciences.
The Department of Nuclear Engineering participates in the Nuclear
Science and Engineering Fellowship Program of the Atomic Energy
Commission. Students are also eligible for fellowships from the Ford
Foundation, the National Science Foundation, the National Aero-
nautics and Space Agency, and others. Half-time graduate teaching or
research assistantships are available in which a nine credit-hour load
per semester is permitted.

The Department of Occupational Information and Guidance has
been training guidance and personnel workers for more than four de-
cades. The first master's degree was awarded in 1926. The programs
of graduate study are planned to develop a broad understanding of
guidance and personnel services to be applied in various settings. It
is most desirable for an applicant who wishes to specialize in guidance
and personnel services to have had undergraduate course work in
economics, education, psychology, sociology or social work. Students
accepted into the program are those who anticipate devoting full or
part-time to guidance and personnel work. Teachers, administrators
and others who wish to increase their knowledge of guidance and per-
sonnel may enroll for courses as a graduate minor or for certification
renewal.
Professional opportunities for placement in this field are on the
increase. The department prepares students for positions as counselors
in secondary schools, industrial education centers, colleges, community
agencies, school or county guidance directors, rehabilitation counselors,
employment counselors, placement interviewers, and personnel workers
in higher education, business or industry, and state and federal gov-
ernment agencies. The student may specialize in one of several areas
depending upon his career goals.
The master's program includes a core of guidance and personnel
courses to be selected according to the student's vocational goals. Stu-
dents may select their minor from the following areas: economics,
psychology, sociology and anthropology and educational administra-
tion. The master's degree program of the department meets the re-
quirements for the Counselor's Certificate issued by the North Caro-
lina State Department of Public Instruction, as well as counselor
certification in many other states.
The Department of Occupational Information and Guidance has had
a contract with the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation for the train-
ing of rehabilitation counselors, and has been awarded five Coun-
seling and Guidance Training Institutes under contract with the
United States Office of Education as authorized by the National
Defense Education Act of 1958.
The department also provides service courses in guidance and per-
sonnel for undergraduate students in the School of Education.

Successful operation of any enterprise, commercial or public, de-
pends on the ability of the managers to foresee the consequences of
putting into effect any of the alternative courses of action available to
them. For example, the manager of a factory producing several dif-
ferent products has to decide what quantity of each product to pro-
duce. Of course, he is limited in the resources available, e.g. plant,
liquid assets, raw materials and labor, and also by the demand for the
several products. Even so, there generally will be several different and
feasible production schedules. The manager's problem is to choose the
production schedule most advantageous to the factory, usually that
yielding the largest profit.
The problems arising in this context, of which the above is a typical
example, are many and varied. It has been recognized that many of
these problems have representations in mathematical form, and a
number of methods and techniques (linear programming, dynamic
programming, theory of queues, simulation, etc.) have been developed
for solving the corresponding mathematical problems. Operations Re-
search consists of these problems, the techniques for solving them and
research aimed at recognizing new problems and finding new solu-
tions.
170 THE GRADUATE CATALOG
At North Carolina State University at Raleigh and the University
of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, graduate courses in many areas of
operations research have been offered by various departments on the
two campuses for a number of years. In addition, numerous operations
research theses have been directed by staff members of these depart-
ments. Recognizing the need to coordinate and expand these activities,
an Operations Research Technical Committee has been appointed,
consisting of representatives from the Departments of Statistics and
Information Science at Chapel Hill and the Departments of Biological
and Agricultural Engineering, Economics, Electrical Engineering,
Experimental Statistics, Industrial Engineering, Mathematics and
Textile Technology at Raleigh.
After reviewing the operations research programs of many well-
known institutions and taking account of the indicated needs for per-
sonnel, the technical committee decided that each member of an
operations research team should contribute strength in at least one
basic discipline. Hence it was decided to establish a strong graduate
minor program in Operations Research, with the major in any basic
discipline which could contribute to or utilize these techniques. The
operations research graduate courses are to be selected from the fol-
lowing general areas:
Control Systems and Reliability
Econometrics and Economic Decision Making
Information and Computer Science
Mathematical Techniques for Optimization
Probability and Statistics
If a student majors in a discipline which includes one of these areas,
he would be expected to take courses from this area as a part of the
major and select the operations research minor courses from other
areas. The cohesive elements in the graduate program are to be a
seminar and a special topics course.
The minimal course requirements for graduate minors in operations
research are as follows:
Master's Degrees. The special topics course and seminar plus two
courses in one of the five operations research areas.
Doctoral Degrees. The special topics course and seminar plus five
other courses, with at least two courses from each of two opera-
tions research areas.
Prospective students should pay particular attention to the prerequi-
sites for the courses chosen. A student minoring in operations research
should have a good background in matrix algebra, advanced calculus
and introductory probability, or be prepared to take such courses early
in his graduate program. The Departments of Electrical Engineering
and Industrial Engineering have developed one-semester courses (EE
430, Essentials of Electrical Engineering; IE 510, Industrial Engi-
neering Methods) to qualify non-engineers to enter certain courses in
the areas of control systems and reliability and information and
THE GRADUATE CATALOG 171
computer science. Such background courses cannot be counted as part
of the operations research minor program.
Both teaching and research assistantships are available to qualified
applicants each year from the departments represented on the tech-
nical committee. Requests for such assistance or for information on
the operations research program should be directed to these depart-
ments or to the chairman of the technical committee.

The Department of Psychology offers courses leading to the Mas-
ter of Science degree. An industrial option includes courses in the
application of scientific methods to the study of industrial behavior
based on strong research training. An experimental option provides
a program with major emphasis on the development of proficiency
in experimental methodology in psychological research. Human fac-
tors and human engineering training may be elected as part of the
industrial or experimental options. A program is offered which pro-
vides professional competence in school psychology.
All programs are designed to provide the student with solid
grounding in the basic areas of psychology. A set of required core
courses includes statistics, social psychology, experimental psy-
chology, psychology of personality, and the theory and method of
measurement.
A minimum of thirty semester hours of graduate credit is re-
quired for the master's degree, but the actual graduate program for
each student is determined on the basis of his individual needs,
interests, and accomplishments and very likely will require hours in
excess of the minimum.
Admission requirements for graduate study in the Department of
Psychology are a minimum of twenty semester credit hours in under-
graduate psychology, a "B" average in undergraduate psychology
courses, satisfactory grades in other collegiate studies, and satis-
factory references from faculty and others in regard to character
and quality of work. In some cases provisional acceptance is granted
where some of the requirements are not met.
The physical facilities for the training of graduate students in
psychology include testing, satistics, general and human engineer-
ing laboratories.
In addition to teaching and basic research activities, the Depart-
ment of Psychology carries on research for industrial, military and
other organizations. To facilitate this activity, the Industrial Psy-
chology Center has been established as a special organization with-
in the department.
A limited number of research and teaching assistantships are
available annually. These assistantships are usually based on one-
third time assignments, but are occasionally for one-half time.

The School of Textiles offers programs leading to the Master
of Science in Textile Technology, Master of Textile Technology,
and Master of Science in Textile Chemistry.
The fundamental objectives of the graduate program in the
School of Textiles are to develop the student's ability to initiate
and conduct independent investigations which lead to the develop-
ment of new knowledge, and to stimulate the thought processes asso-
ciated with learning and decision making. These objectives are ac-
complished through programs designed to increase the general knowl-
edge of the student and to develop a more comprehensive understand-
ing of the major field through study and research.
The program of study for the graduate student in textile technology
may be arranged to develop a broad background in advanced tech-
nology and, at the same time, emphasize areas such as fiber
and yarn technology, fabric technology, knitting technology, or
quality control. Students may minor in such fields as experimental
196 THE GRADUATE CATALOG
statistics, economics, mathematics, physics, engineering, psychology,
and political science.
The programs of study for the Master of Science degree include
a minimum of 30 semester credit hours of advanced courses, including
a thesis based on research conducted by the student, and proficiency in
one foreign language. The plan of course work and the research
activities for the Master of Science degree are designed to prepare
the student for a career in research, quality control, and other tech-
nical phases of the textile industry. The student is also prepared to
continue his educational program to more advanced degrees. The
minimum requirement for a Master of Textile Technology is the
satisfactory completion of 36 semester credit hours of advanced
courses. There is no thesis or foreign language requirement for
the Master of Textile Technology. This program is designed to offer
the student advanced technology without the emphasis on research.
Students pursuing this degree are encouraged to minor in economics
with emphasis in the area of management.
In the Department of Textile Technology current research activi-
ties include fundamental studies of man-made fiber properties, char-
acterization of combed and carded yarns, influence of variation in
linear density of in-process materials as related to finished product
quality, and processing problems as associated with the newest de-
velopments in materials and supplementary equipment.
In the Department of Textile Chemistry research emphasis is on
absorption studies, textile chemical processes, new materials and
new methods, and modification of fibrous polymers. The objective of
the graduate program is to stimulate basic research and to train
scientists at the graduate level in the general field of fiber chemis-
try. Strong supporting programs are maintained in chemistry, chemi-
cal engineering, mathematics, experimental statistics, and physics.
The physical resources of the School of Textiles are at the dis-
posal of all graduate students. Separate research laboratories for
both physical and chemical investigations are available for grad-
uate research. The research and educational programs of the school
have facilitated the development of a competent staff of instructors
and researchers. A shop is available in Nelson Textile Building for
construction and maintenance of apparatus.
A number of teaching assistantships and research fellowships are
available. The stipends range from $1,800 to $3,600, with some fel-
lowships including tuition and fees.
The demand by industry and educational institutions for graduates
with advanced degrees constantly exceeds the supply. The financial
remuneration is not only larger, but professional development and
recognition are generally more readily attained.

The Department of Zoology offers to qualified students the oppor-
tunity to earn the Master of Science and the Doctor of Philosophy
degrees. Students may specialize in many areas: behavior, general
ecology, population dynamics, limnology, marine biology, fisheries
biology, wildlife biology, taxonomy and ecological life histories of
parasites, comparative morphology and systematics of vertebrates,
cellular and comparative physiology, and endocrinology.
The department is located in Gardner Hall where facilities for
a wide variety of research activities are available. A two-million
dollar addition to Gardner Hall will be completed by the fall of 1966.
Excellent opportunity for many types of ecological studies is pro-
vided in the extensive natural areas of state parks; some are only
six miles from campus. Several off -campus laboratories have recently
been constructed and are available to students and staff:
(1) The Radiobiological Laboratory at Beaufort, North Carolina,
is supported by the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries and by the
Atomic Energy Commission. Studies of productivity, cycling of ele-
ments through the marine environment, and effects of radionuclides
on morphology and physiology of marine organisms are in progress.
Modern research laboratories with special facilities for irradiating
and maintaining organisms are provided.
(2) The Hatteras Marine Laboratory is located at the southern
end of Hatteras Island, North Carolina, where a variety of interest-
ing biological habitats occur. Cape Hatteras is the closest point to
the Gulf Stream north of Daytona Beach, Florida. Both northern
and southern faunas are found in adjacent waters. Recently the
main building was completely renovated. It contains offices and
laboratories for general use. Another building located on the water-
front houses a large dissecting room and facilities for maintaining
live specimens.
THE GRADUATE CATALOG 203
(3) The Pamlico Estaurine Laboratory is a newly established
facility located near Aurora, North Carolina. The research at this
facility is primarily concerned with biological productivity and
population dynamics. The physical facilities include a seven-room
laboratory as well as living quarters for the resident director. Addi-
tional laboratory space and a dormitory for visiting scientists and
graduate students will soon be available.
By mutual agreement, a student may choose to do research with
any member of the graduate staff. A student will make up a plan of
study after discussing his interests and objectives with his major
professor and advisory committee. Those courses will be selected
which best prepare him for his particular interests. Advanced
courses in other departments provide a variety of subjects for minor
fields of study: botany, entomology, genetics, statistics, biomathe-
matics, biochemistry, psychology, and other related sciences. The
student is given the opportunity to develop a high order of inde-
pendent thought, broad knowledge, technical skills, and thorough
training in investigative techniques. Strong emphasis is placed on
active participation in seminars, practice in the methods of original
research and preparation of manuscripts for publication in scien-
tific journals.
A variety of positions is open to students holding advanced de-
grees. There is a great need for professional zoologists in teaching
and research in institutions of higher learning and in industry.
Research personnel are especially in demand in behavior, physiology
and other medically related sciences. Numerous positions with the
Fish and Wildlife Service, the Soil Conservation Service, the Forest
Service, and the Park Service are open to zoologists.
A prospective student must submit Graduate Record Examination
scores for the verbal, quantitative, and advanced tests with the ap-
plication for admission.
