GENERAL INFORMATION
HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION
In the earlier years of the institution the Master's degree was frequently
conferred, but the work of the graduate students was in charge of the
departments concerned, under the supervision of the General Faculty. The
Graduate School of the University of Maryland was established in 1918 and
organized graduate instruction leading to both the Master's and the Doc-
tor's degree was undertaken. The faculty of the Graduate School in-
cludes all members of the various faculties who give instruction in approved
graduate courses. The general administrative functions of the Graduate
Faculty are delegated to a Graduate Council, of which the Dean of the
Graduate School is chairman.
LOCATION
The University of Maryland is located at College Park, in Prince George's
County, Maryland, on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, eight miles from
Washington and thirty-two miles from Baltimore. Washington, with its
wealth of resources, is easily accessible by train, street car and bus.
The professional schools of Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, Dentistry and
Law are located in Baltimore, at the corner of Lombard and Greene Streets.
LIBRARIES
In addition to the resources of the University library, the great libraries
of the National Capital are easily available for reference work. Because of
the close proximity of these libraries to College Park they are a very valu-
able asset to research and graduate work at the University of Maryland.
The new library building at College Park contains a number of seminar
rooms and other desirable facilities for graduate work.
THE GRADUATE CLUB
The graduate students maintain an active Graduate Club. Several meet-
ings for professional and social purposes are held during the year. Students
working in different departments have an opportunity to become acquainted
with one another and thus profit by the broad cultural values derived from
contacts with fellow students working in different fields.
GENERAL REGULATIONS
ADMISSION
Graduates of colleges and universities of good standing are admitted to
the Graduate School. Before entering upon graduate work all applicants
must present evidence that they are qualified by their previous work to
pursue with profit the graduate courses desired. Application blanks for ad-
mission to the Graduate School are obtained from the office of the Dean.
After approval of the application, a matriculation card, signed by the Dean,
is issued to the student. This card permits the student to register in the
Graduate School. After payment of the fee, the matriculation card is
stamped and returned to the student. It is the student's certificate of mem-
bership in the Graduate School, and may be called for at any succeeding
registration.
Admission to the Graduate School does not necessarily imply admission to
candidacy for an advanced degree.
REGISTRATION
All students pursuing graduate work in the University, even though they
are not candidates for higher degrees, are required to register at the beg^in-
ning of each semester in the office of the Dean of the Graduate School, Room
T-214, Agricultural Building. Students taking graduate work in the Sum-
mer School are also required to register in the Graduate School at the
beginning of each session. In no case will graduate credit be given unless
the student matriculates and registers in the Graduate School. The pro-
gram of work for the semester or the summer session is entered upon two
course cards, which are signed first by the professor in charge of the
student's major subject and then by the Dean of the Graduate School. One
card is retained in the Dean's office. The student takes the other card, and,
in case of a new student, also the matriculation card, to the Registrar's
office, where a charge slip for the fee is issued. The charge slip, together
with the course card, is presented at the Cashier's office for adjustment of
fees. After certification by the Cashier that fees have been paid, class
cards are issued by the Registrar. Students will not be admitted to grad-
uate courses without class cards. Course cards may be obtained at the
Registrar's office or at the Dean's office. The heads of departments usually
keep a supply of these cards in their respective offices.
GRADUATE COURSES
Graduate students must elect for credit in partial fulfillment of the re-
quirements for higher degrees only those courses designated For Graduates
or For Graduates and Advanced Undergraduates. Graduate students may
elect courses numbered from 1 to 99 in the general catalogue but graduate
credit will not be allowed for these courses. Students with inadequate
preparation may be obliged to take some of these courses as prerequisites
for advanced courses.
8
PROGRAM OF WORK
The professor who is selected to direct a student's thesis work is the stu-
dent's adviser in the formulation of a graduate program including suitable
minor work. This program receives the approval of the Dean by his en-
dorsement of the student's course card.
To encourage thoroughness in scholarship through intensive application,
graduate students in the regular sessions taking courses carrying full grad-
uate credit are limited to a program of thirty credit hours for the year.
Students holding half-time graduate assistantships are usually limited to
sixteen credit hours for the year. Four or six additional credits may be al-
lowed if six or more of the total constitute seminar and research work.
Residence credit for all research work relating directly to the Master's or
the Doctor's thesis should be stated as credit hours on the registration card
for the semester in which the work is to be done. If a student is doing only
research work under the direction of an official of the institution he must
register and pay for a minimum of four credit hours per semester. The
number of credit hours reported at the end of the semester will depend upon
the work accomplished, but it will not exceed the number for which the
student is registered.
SUMMER GRADUATE WORK
Graduate work in the Summer Session may be counted as residence
toward an advanced degree. Four summer sessions and six credits on thesis
work done in absentia under direction may be accepted as satisfying the
residence requirement for the Master's degree. By carrying approximately
six semester hours of graduate work for four sessions and upon submitting
a satisfactory thesis, a student may be granted the degree of Master of
Arts or Master of Science. In some instances a fifth summer may be re-
quired in order that a satisfactory thesis may be completed.
Graduate students who combine the summer and winter plans for the
Master's degree are required to spend at least three full summers and one
semester in residence.
Upon recommendation by the head of the student's major department and
approval of the Graduate Council, a maximum of six semester hours of
graduate work done at other institutions of sufficiently high standing may
be substituted for required work here; such substitution does not shorten
the required residence period.
Graduate work may be pursued during the entire summer in some de-
partments, by special arrangement. Such students as graduate assistants,
or others v/ho may wish to supplement work done during the regular year,
may satisfy one-third of an academic year's residence by full-time graduate
work for 11 or 12 weeks, provided satisfactory supervision and facilities
for summer work are available in their special fields.
The University publishes a special bulletin giving full information con-
cerning the Summer School and the graduate courses offered during the
Summer Session. The bulletin is available upon application to the Reg-
istrar of the University.
9
GRADUATE WORK IN PROFESSIONAL SCHOOLS AT BALTIMORE
Graduate courses and opportunities for research work are offered in some
of the professional schools at Baltimore. Students pursuing graduate work
in the professional schools must register in the Graduate School, meet the
same requirements, and proceed in the same way as do graduate students
in other departments of the University.
The graduate courses in the professional schools are listed on pages 56-61.
GRADUATE WORK BY SENIORS IN THIS UNIVERSITY
Seniors who have completed all their undergraduate courses in this Uni-
versity by the end of the first semester and who continue their residence in
the University for the remainder of the year are permitted to register in
the Graduate School and secure the privileges of its membership, even
though the bachelor's degree is not conferred until the close of the year.
Seniors of this University who have nearly completed the requirements
for the undergraduate degree may, with the approval of their undergraduate
Dean and the Dean of the Graduate School, register in the undergraduate
college for graduate courses, which will be transferred for graduate credit
toward a higher degree at this University, but the total of undergraduate
and graduate courses must not exceed 15 credits for the semester.
ADMISSION TO CANDIDACY FOR ADVANCED DEGREES
Application for admission to candidacy for either the Master's or the
Doctor's degree is made on application blanks which are obtained at the
office of the Dean of the Graduate School. These are filled out in duplicate
and after the required endorsements are obtained, the applications are acted
upon by the Graduate Council. An official transcript of the candidate's
undergraduate record and any graduate courses completed at other institu-
tions must be filed in the Dean's office before the application can be con-
sidered.
A student making application for admission to candidacy for the degree
of Doctor of Philosophy must also have obtained from the head of the
Modern Language Department a statement that he possesses a reading
knowledge of French and German.
Admission to candidacy in no case assures the student of a degree, but
merely signifies that the candidate has met all the formal requirements
and is considered by his instructors sufficiently prepared and able to pursue
such graduate study and research as are demanded by the requirements of
the degree sought. The candidate must show superior scholarship by the
type of graduate work already completed. Preliminary exanrunations or
such other substantial tests as the departments may elect are also required
for admission to candidacy for the degree of Doctor of Philosouhy.
Application for admission to candidacy is made at the time stated in the
sections dealing with the requirements for the degree sought.
10
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREES OF MASTER OF ARTS
AND MASTER OF SCIENCE
Advancement to Candidacy. Each candidate for the Master's degree is
required to make application for admission to candidacy not later than the
date when instruction begins for the second semester of the academic year
in which the degree is sought, but not until at least the equivalent of one
semester of graduate work has been completed.
Residence Requirements. The standard residence requirement is one
academic year, but this does not mean that the work prescribed for each
indi\'idual student can always be completed in one academic year. Inade-
quate preparation for the graduate courses the student wishes to pursue
may make a longer period necessary.
Credits and Scholarship Requirements. The minimum credit requirement
is 30 semester hours in courses approved for graduate credit. From 18 to
20 credits must be earned in the major subject; and at least one-half of the
total major credits, including thesis, must be taken in courses for graduates
only. The number of major credits allowed for thesis ranges from 6 to 10,
depending upon the amount of work done and upon the major course re-
quirements. From 10 to 12 credits must lie outside the major subject and
form a coherent group of courses intended to supplement and support the
major work. The maximum total credit for the one hour per week seminar
courses is limited to four semester hours in the major subject and to two
semester hours in the minor subjects. No credits are acceptable for an
advanced degree that are reported with a grade lower than "C".
At least 20 of the 30 semester credits required for the Master's degree
must be taken at this institution. In certain cases graduate work done in
other graduate schools of sufficiently high standing may be substituted for
the remaining required credits, but any such substitution of credits does not
shorten the normal required residence at the University of Maryland. The
Graduate Council, upon recommendation of the head of the major depart-
ment, passes upon all graduate work done at other institutions. The final
examination will cover all graduate work offered in fulfillment of the re-
quirements for the degree.
Work in accredited research laboratories of the United States Department
of Agriculture and other local national research agencies may be accepted,
when previously arranged, as residence work in fulfillment of the thesis
requirement for a degree. These laboratories are located within easy reach
of the University.
Thesis. The thesis required for the Master's degree should be typewritten,
double spaced, on a good quality of paper 11 x 8% inches in size. The
original copy must be deposited in the office of the Graduate School not
later than two weeks before commencement.
It should be held together with removable clamp, and placed in a manila
or other durable folder, with the title, and name of writer, on the outside.
11
The thesis should not be stapled together, as it is later bound by the Uni-
versity and placed in the University library. One or two additional copies
should be provided for use of members of the examining committee prior
to the final examination. If the thesis contains extensive charts or graphs,
it is not necessary to duplicate them in the carbon copies, as the official
copy will be accessible to professors.
Final Examination. The final oral examination is conducted by a commit-
tee appointed by the Dean of the Graduate School. The student's adviser acts
as the chairman of the committee. The other members of the committee are
persons under whom the student has taken most of his major and minor
courses. The chairman and the candidate are notified of the personnel of
the examining committee at least one week prior to the period set for the
examination. The chairman of the committee selects the exact time and
place for the examination and notifies the other members of the committee
and the candidate. The examination should be conducted within the dates
specified and a report of the examination sent to the Dean as soon as pos-
sible after the examination. A special form for this purpose is supplied to
the chairman of the committee. Such a report is the basis upon which
recommendation is made to the faculty that the candidate be granted the
degree sought.
The final examination is oral, but a previous written examination in
courses of the semester immediately preceding the examination may be re-
quired at the option of the individual members of the committee. The
period for the oral examination is approximately one hour.
The examining committee also approves the thesis, and it is the candi-
date's obligation to see that each member of the committee has ample op-
portunity to examine a copy of the thesis prior to the date of the exami-
nation.
A student will not be admitted to final examination until all other re-
quirements for the degree have been met.
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY
Advancement to Candidacy. Candidates for the Doctor's degree must be
admitted to candidacy not later than one academic year prior to the grant-
ing of the degree. Applications for admission to candidacy for the Doc-
tor's degree must be deposited in the office of the Dean not later than
October 1 of the academic year in which the degree is sought.
Residence. Three years of full-time resident graduate study beyond the
Bachelor's degree or two years beyond the Master's degree are required.
The first two of the three years may be spent in other institutions offering
standard graduate work. On a part-time basis the time needed will be
correspondingly increased. The degree is not given merely as a certificate
of residence and work, but is granted only upon sufficient evidence of high
attainments in scholarship and ability to carry on independent research in
the special field in which the major work is done.
12
Major and Minor Subjects. The candidate must select a major and one
or two closely related minor subjects. Thirty semester hours of minor
work are required. The remainder of the required residence is devoted to
intensive study and research in the major field. The amount of required
course work in the major subject will vary with the department and the
individual candidate.
Thesis. The ability to do independent research must be shown by a dis-
sertation on some topic connected with the major subject. The original
typewritten copy of the thesis must be deposited in the office of the Dean
at least three weeks before the time the degree is granted. One or two
extra copies should be provided for use of members of the examining
committee prior to the date of the final examination. The theses are later
printed in such form as the committee and the Dean may approve and
fifty copies are deposited in the University library.
Final Examination. The final oral examination is held before a com-
mittee appointed by the Dean. One member of this committee is a repre-
sentative of the Graduate Faculty who is not directly concerned with the
student's graduate work. One or more members of the committee may
be persons from other institutions, who are distinguished scholars in the
student's major field.
The duration of the examination is approximately three hours and should
cover the research work of the candidate as embodied in his thesis, and his
attainments in the fields of his major and minor subjects. The other de-
tailed procedures are the same as those stated for the Master's examination.
RULES GOVERNING LANGUAGE EXAMINATIONS FOR DOCTOR
OF PHILOSOPHY CANDIDATES
1. Candidates for the Doctor's degree are expected to possess a reading
knowledge of French and German. In the examination they will be expected
to read at sight from books or articles in their specialized fields. It is not
expected that the candidate know every single word of the text. The ex-
aminers will supply occasional foreign terms, but it is presumed that the
student knows sufficient grammar to recognize inflectional forms.
2. The student is asked to bring books or periodicals to the examination
to the amount of about 400 to 500 pages, from which the examiners will
select a number of paragraphs for the reading test.
3. No penalty is attached to failure in the examination and the unsuc-
cessful candidate is free to try again at the next date set for these tests.
4. Graduate students expecting to take the examination are asked to
register their names in the Graduate School office at least three days prior
to the test. Examinations are held in the office of the Modern Language
Department on the first Wednesdays in Fehruai-y, June, and October, at
2 p. m.
13
GRADUATE FEES
The fees paid by graduate students are as follows:
A matriculation fee of $10.00. This is paid once only, upon ad-
mission to the Graduate School.
A fixed charge, each semester, at the rate of $4.00 per semester
credit hour.
A diploma fee (Master's degree), $10.00.
Graduation fee, including hood (Doctor's degree), $20.00.
FELLOWSHIPS AND GRADUATE ASSISTANTSHIPS
A number of fellowships and graduate assistantships have been estab-
lished by the University. A few industrial fellowships are also available in
certain departments.
Applications for Fellowships and Graduate Assistantships. Application
blanks may be obtained at the office of the Dean of the Graduate School.
The application with the necessary credentials is sent by the applicant direct
to the Dean not later than May 15. The Dean's endorsement assures the
applicant of admission to the Graduate School in case he is awarded either
a fellowship or a graduate assistantship. After the applications have been
approved by the Dean they are sent to the heads of the departments con-
cerned, who make the selection and recommend to the proper administrative
officer that the successful applicants be appointed. All the applications, to-
gether with the credentials, are then returned to the office of the Graduate
School. Those of the successful applicants, properly endorsed, are placed
on file for record. The credentials will be returned to the unsuccessful
applicants.
Appointments. Fellowship appointments are for the academic year; in
certain cases the term of appointment may be extended to include one or
two summer months in addition to the nine months of the academic year.
Appointments of graduate assistants are made for twelve months, with
one month's vacation. Graduate students holding appointments as fellows
or graduate assistants are exempt from all fees except graduation fees.
Service Requirements. Each University fellow is expected to give a
limited portion of his time to instruction or equivalent duties prescribed by
the major department. The usual maximum amount of service required is
five hours per week of class-room work or twelve hours of laboratory and
other prescribed duties. No service is required of the industrial fellow
other than research. The teaching graduate assistants devote one-half of
their time to instruction. This is equivalent to about one-half of the load
of a full-time instructor. Several research assistantships are offered by
the Experiment Station and the only service required is in connection with
research projects.
14
Residence Requirements for a Degree. Fellows may satisfy the residence
requirements for either the Master's or Doctor's degree without extension
of the usual time.
Graduate assistants are required to spend two years in residence for the
Master's degree, but for the Doctor's degree they are allowed two-thirds
residence credit for each academic year at this University. The minimum
residence requirement from the Bachelor's degree, therefore, may be satis-
fied in four academic years and one summer, or three academic years and
three summers of 11 to 12 weeks.
COMMENCEMENT
Attendance is required at the commencement at which the degree is con-
ferred, unless the candidate is excused by the Dean and the President of
the University.
