University of Virginia Library

ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS.

Required for Admission to the Department.—A candidate for admission
to the Department of Graduate Studies must have a baccalaureate
degree from a recognized institution of collegiate rank; or, in case the
institution he attended does not confer such a degree, he must present a
certificate of graduation in a course of study accepted by the Academic
Faculty as fully equivalent to that ordinarily required for the degree in
question.

Required for Admission as Applicant for a Degree.—In order to be
recognized as an applicant for a master's or doctor's degree, any candidate
who has not received a baccalaureate degree from this university
must secure from the Registrar of the University a blank form, which,
when properly filled out, he must file with the Dean of this department,
together with a catalogue of the institution from which he graduated.
If that institution has (1) a faculty of at least eight professors giving
their full time to college or university work; (2) entrance requirements
equal to those of this university, and (3) a course of four full years in the
liberal arts and sciences, the candidate will not be required to take any
undergraduate courses except such as the Committee on Rules and
Courses or the professors in charge of the graduate courses he elects
may consider necessary for their successful prosecution. If, however, the
institution in question does not meet the three conditions mentioned
above, the candidate's preparation will be carefully considered by the
Committee on Rules and Courses, which will prescribe such undergraduate
courses as are deemed necessary to supply his deficiences.

Admission of Women.—The candidate must hold a baccalaureate degree
from a recognized institution of collegiate rank.
