University of Virginia Library

Third Largest

Furthermore Virginia grants 20 percent of all
degrees in the state, although she is only the
third largest school. This 20 percent represents
53 percent of the first profession degrees, 43
percent of the masters and 59 percent of the
Doctorate degrees granted in the State.

Mr. Shannon emphasized that "we have a
heavy graduate commitment, but the amount
appropriated per student is low in Virginia."
