EXTENSION OF DOCTOR OF SCIENCE DEGREE PROGRAM IN THE SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING
The President reminded the Board that, at its meeting on 13 June 1959 (Minute Book, University
of Virginia, No. 12, 13 June 1959, p. 158), the fields in which the degree of Doctor of Science may
be conferred were extended to include Nuclear Engineering and Electrical Engineering. The President
reported that the faculty of the School of Engineering has requested the extension of the degree of
Doctor of Science to include Civil Engineering and Applied Mechanics be authorized. At its meeting
on 15 May 1962 the University Senate approved this proposal. Adding these two fields in which the
Doctor of Science may be earned will not result in an increase in staff, since qualified persons
to teach in these two areas are already on the faculty
Accordingly, the President proposed and the Board adopted the following resolution
RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia
that, effective 1 September 1962, the fields in which the degree of Doctor of Science may be
conferred be and they are hereby extended to include Civil Engineering and Applied Mechanics
