Master’s
Degree
' Boone Appalachian State
Teachers College will award
the Master’s degree to sixty
eight students this May, ac
cording to an announcement
by Dr. Cratis Williams, director
of graduate studies. Commen
cement exercises will be held
at 10:30 a. m., Friday, May 28,
on the Boone campus.
Graduate study leading to
ward the Master’s degree was
first offered at Appalachian
during the summer of 1942 with
fifty-one students enrolled in
graduate courses. During the
summers of 1942-47 graduate
work offered was on a coopera
tive basis with the University
of North Carolina, with that
institution giving full credit
toward the Master’s degree.
Beginning with the s'lmmer
of 1948, Appalachian accepted
qualified students as candidat
es for the Master of Arts de
gree. On Feb. 26, 1949, graduate
study at ASTC was approved
by the American , Association
of Colleges for Teacher Educa
tion.
Graduate studies, organised
to provide facilities for advan
ced study leading to the Mas
ter of Arts degree, offers pro
grams of graduate work during
the summer quarter and the
three quarters of the regular
Session.
The p-lmary objective of
graduate studies Is to add to
the competency of teachers
ard other educational workers.
Each course offered is justified
in terms of the contribution it
makes toward a realization of
the general aim of the program
and the specific objectives of
the individual student. Both
functional and scientific in
their approach, the objectives
of g’aduate studies are to pre
pare master teachers, super
visors, and administrators.
Glenn E. Fox, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Willard Fox of Burnsville
Is among those who will re
ceive the Master’s degree in
May.
