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 
Doctor's  degree  was  undertaken.  The  faculty  of  the  Graduate  School  includes 
all  members  of  the  various  faculties  who  give  instruction  in  approved  grad- 
uate 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  proximity  of  these  libraries  to  College  Park  they  are  a  valuable  asset 
to  research  and  graduate  work  at  the  University  of  Maryland. 

The  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  cultural  values  derived  from  asso- 
ciation with  persons  working  in  different  fields. 


GENERAL  REGULATIONS 

ADMISSION 

Graduates  from  a  recognized  college  regarded  as  standard  by  the  insti- 
tution and  by  regional  or  general  accrediting  agencies  are  admitted  to  the 
Graduate  School.  The  applicant  shall  present  an  official  transcript  of  his 
collegiate  record  which  for  unconditional  admission  shall  show  creditable 
completion  of  an  undergraduate  major  in  the  subject  chosen  for  specializa- 
tion in  the  Graduate  School.  Any  deficiencies  may  be  made  up  in  courses 
without  credit  toward  a  graduate  degree.  Special  students  who  do  not  expect 
to  become  candidates  for  degrees  are  permitted  to  take  such  courses  as  in  the 
opinion  of  the  departments  concerned  they  are  prepared  to  pursue  with 
profit. 

Application  blanks  for  admission  to  the  Graduate  School  are  obtained 
from  the  office  of  the  Dean.  After  approval  of  the  application,  a  matricula- 
tion card,  signed  by  the  Dean,  is  issued  to  the  student.  This  card  permits 
one  to  register  in  the  Graduate  School.  After  payment  of  the  fee,  the 
matriculation  card  is  stamped  and  returned.  It  is  the  student's  certificate 
of  membership  in  the  Graduate  School,  and  may  be  called  for  at  any  suc- 
ceeding 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  begin- 
ning of  each  semester  in  the  office  of  the  Dean  of  the  Graduate  School,  Room 
T-214,  Agriculture  Building.  Students  taking  graduate  work  in  the  Sum- 
mer Session  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  arranged  with 
the  major  department  and  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  of- 
fice. 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 
fees  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  graduate  courses  without  class  cards. 
Course  cards  may  be  obtained  at  the  Registrar's  office  or  at  the  Dean's  of- 
fice. 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  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.  Students  with  inadequate  preparation 
may  be  obliged  to  take  some  of  these  courses  as  prerequisites  for  advanced 
courses.  No  credit  toward  graduate  degrees  may  be  obtained  by  corre- 
spondence or  extension  study. 

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,  which  is  arranged  in  cooperation  with  the  instructors.  To 
encourage  thoroughness  in  scholarship  through  intensive  application,  gi-adu- 
ate  students  in  the  regular  sessions  are  limited  to  a  program  of  thirty 
credit  hours  for  the  year. 

SUMMER  GRADUATE  WORK 

Graduate  work  in  the  Summer  Session  may  be  counted  as  residence 
toward  an  advanced  degree.  By  carrying  approximately  six  semester  hours 
of  graduate  work  for  four  summer  sessions  and  upon  submitting  a  satis- 
factory thesis,  a  student  may  be  granted  the  degree  of  Master  of  Arts  or 
Master  of  Science.  In  some  instances  a  fifth  summer  may  be  required  in 
order  that  a  satisfactory  thesis  may  be  completed. 

Upon  recommendation  by  the  head  of  the  student's  major  department  and 
with  the  approval  of  the  Graduate  Council,  a  maximum  of  six  semester 
hours  of  graduate  work  done  at  other  institutions  of  sufficiently  high  stand- 
ing may  be  substituted  for  required  work  here;  such  substitution  does  not 
shorten  the  required  residence  period. 

By  special  arrangement,  graduate  work  may  be  pursued  during  the  entire 
summer  in  some  departments.  Such  students  as  graduate  assistants,  or 
others  who  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  eleven  or  twelve  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  Session  and  the  graduate  courses  offered  therein. 
The  bulletin  is  available  upon  application  to  the  Registrar  of  the  University. 

GRADUATE  WORK  IN  PROFESSIONAL  SCHOOLS  AT  BALTIMORE 

Graduate  courses  and  opportunities  for  research  are  offered  in  some  of 
the  professional  schools  at  Baltimore.  Students  pursuing  graduate  work 
in  the  professional  schools  must  register  in  the  Graduate  School,  and  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  69-75.

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. 

A  senior  of  this  University  who  has  nearly  completed  the  requirements 
for  the  undergraduate  degree  may,  with  the  approval  of  his  undergradliate 
dean  and  the  Dean  of  the  Graduate  School,  register  in  the  undergraduate 
college  for  graduate  courses,  which  may  be  transferred  for  graduate  credit 
toward  an  advanced  degree  at  this  University,  but  the  total  of  undergraduate 
and  graduate  courses  must  not  exceed  fifteen  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. 

Admission  to  candidacy  in  no  case  assures  the  student  of  a  degree,  but 
merely  signifies  he  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. 

Application  for  admission  to  candidacy  is  made  at  the  time  stated  in  the 
sections  dealing  with  the  requirements  for  the  degree  sought. 

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  twelve  semester  course 
hours  of  graduate  work  have  been  completed,  with  an  average  grade  of  "B." 

Residence  Requirements.  Two  semesters  or  four  summer  sessions  may 
satisfy  the  residence  requirements  for  the  degree  of  Master  of  Arts  or 
Master  of  Science.  Inadequate  preparation  for  the  graduate  courses  the 
student  wishes  to  pursue  may  make  a  longer  period  necessary. 

Course  Requirements.  A  minimum  of  twenty-four  semester  hours  in 
courses  approved  for  graduate  credit  is  required  for  the  Master's  degree. 
If  the  student  is  inadequately  prepared  for  the  required  graduate  courses, 
either  in  the  major  or  minor  subjects,  additional  courses  may  be  required 
to    supplement    the    undergraduate   work.    Not   less   than   twelve   semester 

10 


hours  and  not  more  than  fifteen  semester  hours  in  graduate  courses  must  be 
earned  in  the  major  subject.  The  remaining  credits  of  the  total  of  twenty- 
four  hours  required  must  be  outside  the  major  subject  and  must  com- 
prise a  group  of  coherent  courses  intended  to  supplement  and  support  the 
major  work.  Not  less  than  one-half  of  the  total  required  course  credits 
for  the  Master's  degree  must  be  selected  from  courses  numbered  200  or 
above.  The  entire  course  of  study  must  constitute  a  unified  program  ap- 
proved by  the  student's  major  adviser  and  by  the  Dean  of  the  Graduate 
School.  No  credits  that  are  reported  with  a  grade  lower  than  "C"  are 
acceptable  for  an  advanced  degree. 

At  least  eighteen  of  the  twenty-four  semester  coui'se  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  substi- 
tution 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  department,  passes  upon  all  graduate  work  done  at 
other  institutions.  The  final  examination  will  cover  all  graduate  work 
offered  in  fulfillment  of  the  requirements  for  the  degree. 

Thesis.  In  addition  to  the  twenty-four  semester  hours  in  gi-aduate 
courses  a  satisfactory  thesis  is  required  of  all  candidates  for  the  Master's 
degree.  It  must  demonstrate  the  student's  ability  to  do  independent  work 
and  it  must  be  acceptable  in  literary  style  and  composition.  It  is  assumed 
that  the  time  devoted  to  thesis  work  will  be  not  less  than  the  equivalent 
of  six  semester  hours  earned  in  graduate  courses.  If  the  Master's  thesis 
is  based  upon  independent  research  the  student  may  register  in  research 
courses  in  the  amount  prescribed  by  his  department,  but  not  more  than  four 
semester  houi's  of  these  can  be  included  in  the  twenty-four  semester  hours 
required  in  gi'aduate  courses  for  the  Master's  degree.  With  the  approval 
of  the  student's  major  professor  and  the  Dean  of  the  Graduate  School,  the 
thesis  in  certain  cases  may  be  prepared  in  absentia  under  direction  and 
super\'ision  of  a  member  of  the  faculty  of  this  institution. 

The  thesis  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  commence- 
ment. It  should  be  held  together  with  removable  clamp,  and  placed  in  a 
manila  or  other  durable  folder,  with  the  title  and  the  name  of  the  writer 
on  the  outside.  Model  for  title  page  may  be  obtained  at  the  office  of  the 
Graduate  School.  The  thesis  should  not  be  stapled,  as  it  is  later  bound  by  the 
University  and  placed  in  the  University  library.  One  or  two  additional 
carbon  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  the  examining  committee. 

Final  Examination.  The  final  oral  examination  is  conducted  by  a  com- 
mittee appointed  by  the  Dean  of  the  Graduate  School.  The  student's  adviser 
acts  as  the  chairman  of  the  committee.   The  other  members  of  the  commit- 

11 


tee  are  persons  under  whom  the  student  has  taken  most  of  his  major  and 
minor  courses.  The  chairman  and  the  candidate  are  notified  of  the  person- 
nel of  the  examining  committee  at  least  one  week  prior  to  the  period  set 
for  oral  examinations.  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  committee  sent  to  the  Dean  as 
soon  as  possible  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  period  for  the  oral  examination  is  usually  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 
opportunity  to  examine  a  copy  of  the  thesis  prior  to  the  date  of  the  exami- 
nation.

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  Doctor's 
degi'ee  must  be  deposited  in  the  office  of  the  Dean  not  later  than  the  first 
Wednesday  in  October  of  the  academic  year  in  which  the  degree  is  sought. 
The  applicant  must  have  obtained  from  the  head  of  the  Modem  Language 
Department  a  statement  that  he  possesses  a  reading  knowledge  of  French 
and  German.  Preliminary  examinations  or  such  other  substantial  tests  as 
the  departments  may  elect  are  also  required  for  admission  to  candidacy. 

Residence.  Three  years  of  full-time  resident  graduate  study  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. 

Major  and  Minor  Subjects.  The  candidate  must  select  a  major  and  one 
or  two  closely  related  minor  subjects.  Thirty  semester  holirs  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 
dissertation  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  commencement.  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  thesis  is  later  printed  in  such  form 

12 


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  commit- 
tee appointed  by  the  Dean.  One  member  of  this  committee  is  a  representa- 
tive 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  covers 
the  research  work  of  the  candidate  as  embodied  in  his  thesis,  and  his  attain- 
ments in  the  fields  of  his  major  and  minor  subjects.  The  other  detailed 
procedures  are  the  same  as  those  stated  for  the  Master's  examination.

to  be  translated  will  be  taken  from  books  and  articles  in  their  specialized 
fields.  It  is  not  expected  that  the  candidate  recognize  every  word  of  the 
text,  but  it  is  presumed  that  he  will  know  sufficient  grammar  to  distinguish 
inflectional  forms  and  that  he  will  have  a  large  enough  vocabulary  to  give  a 
good  translation  without  the  aid  of  a  dictionary. 

2.  Application  for  admission  to  these  tests  must  be  filed  in  the  office  of 
the  Dean  of  the  Graduate  School  at  least  ten  days  in  advance  of  the  tests 
and  should  be  accompanied  by  some  500  pages  of  text  from  which  the  appli- 
cant wishes  to  have  his  examination  chosen. 

3.  No  penalty  is  attached  to  failure  in  the  examination,  and  the  unsuccess- 
ful candidate  is  free  to  try  again  at  the  next  date  set  for  these  tests.

A  matriculation  fee  of  $10.00,  This  is  paid  once  only,  upon  admis- 
sion 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, 

A  graduation  fee,  including  hood  (Doctor's  degree),  $20,00. 

FELLOWSHIPS  AND  ASSISTANTSHIPS 

Fellowships.  A  number  of  fellowships  have  been  established  by  the  Uni- 
versity, A  few  industrial  fellowships  are  also  available  in  certain  depart- 
ments. The  stipend  for  University  fellows  is  $400  for  the  academic  year 
and  the  remission  of  all  graduate  fees  except  the  diploma  fee. 

13 


Application  blanks  for  University  fellowships  may  be  obtained  from  the 
office  of  the  Graduate  School.  The  application,  with  the  necessary  creden- 
tials, is  sent  by  the  applicant  directly  to  the  Dean  of  the  Graduate  School. 

Fellows  are  required  to  render  minor  services  prescribed  by  their  major 
departments.  The  usual  amount  of  service  required  does  not  exceed  twelve 
clock  hours  per  week.  Fellows  are  permitted  to  carry  a  full  graduate  pro- 
gram, and  they  may  satisfy  the  residence  requirement  for  higher  degrees 
in  the  normal  time. 

The  selection  of  fellows  is  made  by  the  departments  to  which  the  fellow- 
ships are  assigned,  with  the  approval  of  the  dean  or  director  concerned, 
but  all  applications  must  first  be  approved  by  the  Dean  of  the  Graduate 
School.    The  awards  of  University  fellowships  are  on  a  competitive  basis. 

Teaching  and  Research  Assistantships.  A  number  of  teaching  and  re- 
search assistantships  are  available  in  several  departments.  The  stipend  for 
assistantships  varies  with  the  services  rendered,  and  the  amount  of  gradu- 
ate work  which  an  assistant  is  permitted  to  carry  is  determined  by  the 
head  of  the  department,  with  the  approval  of  the  dean  or  director  concerned. 

The  compensation  for  each  of  a  number  of  assistantships  is  $800  a  year. 
The  assistant  in  this  class  devotes  one-half  of  his  time  to  instruction  or 
research  in  connection  with  Experiment  Station  projects,  and  he  is  reqtiired 
to  spend  two  years  in  residence  for  the  Master's  degree.  If  he  continues 
in  residence  for  the  Doctor's  degree  he  is  allowed  two-thirds  residence 
credit  for  each  academic  year  at  this  University.  The  minimum  residence 
requirement  from  the  Bachelor's  degree,  therefore,  may  be  satisfied  in  four 
academic  years  and  one  summer,  or  three  academic  years  and  three  sum- 
mers of  eleven  or  twelve  weeks. 

No  minimum  residence  requirement  for  a  higher  degree  has  been  estab- 
lished for  other  assistants.  The  Graduate  Council,  guided  by  the  recommen- 
dation of  the  student's  advisory  committee,  prescribes  the  required  residence 
in  each  individual  case  at  the  time  the  student  is  admitted  to  candidacy. 

All  graduate  fees  except  the  diploma  fee  are  remitted  to  all  assistants, 
provided  they  are  in  full  graduate  status  and  are  carrying  programs  leading 
directly  to  an  academic  higher  degree. 

Further  information  regarding  assistantships  may  be  obtained  from  the 
departments  or  colleges  concerned.
