HISTORICAL STATEMENT.
While the original organization of the Academic Schools of the University
by Jefferson contemplated instruction of graduate grade in each
School, the first "post-graduate department" in the modern sense was instituted
in 1859-60 by Basil L. Gildersleeve, then Professor of Greek in
the institution. The degree of Master of Arts continued to be conferred
upon graduates in all six Schools of the University. Professor Gildersleeve
conducted graduate courses in the School of Greek; shortly after the Civil
War a "post-graduate department" was announced for the School of Latin.
Graduate courses were offered in individual Schools, but there was no general
department organization for graduate study until 1904. In that year
the Department of Graduate Studies was established as a regular co-ordinate
division of the University, with definitely prescribed regulations corresponding
to the requirements of the Association of American Universities,
in which the University of Virginia was the first Southern university
to hold membership. The degree of Doctor of Philosophy had, however,
been offered by the University as far back as 1880. The present requirements
for graduate degrees, with minor modifications, have therefore been
in force since 1904.
THE GRADUATE HOUSE.
The residence of the late Professor Raleigh C. Minor on West Lawn
has been assigned to the Department of Graduate Studies as administrative
headquarters. Besides the Dean's office, this building contains one
large lecture-room for graduate classes and three seminar rooms on the
second floor specially equipped for small groups of students and professors
engaged in advanced graduate work. The building is therefore the administrative
office of the Department and the workshop of its humanistic section.
At present the class-rooms are used by certain C and D classes in
the Schools of English, History, Philosophy, Economics, Biblical Literature,
and Political Science. The central location of this house and its
proximity to the General Library make it particularly adapted to departmental
use.
THE LIBRARY.
The General Library contains about 100,000 volumes. Departmental
libraries, notably those of the Scientific Schools, the Classical, and the Heck
Memorial Library of the Department of Education, have more than 25,000
volumes. Graduate students may, through the office of the General Library,
get certain books needed in research from the Library of Congress.
Library facilities for graduate study, both in arts and sciences, are excellent.
RESEARCH SOCIETIES.
A number of the Academic Schools have regular meetings of students
and professors for discussion of topics connected with graduate study.
Papers are presented on the progress of certain investigations by the writers,
some of which are published as monographs, or contributed to technical
journals. These clubs are stimulating centers of research activity. The
scientific society of Sigma Xi, a chapter of which has been recently installed
in the University, is an important organization for the advancement of technical
knowledge. While not specifically an organization of the Department
of Graduate Studies, the University Committee on Research is a valuable
auxiliary of the Department. This committee administers an annual appropriation
for promoting research in the various Departments of the University,
especially in the matter of the publication of the results of original
investigation, and so aids the general cause of advanced scholarship. In
addition to all these specialized groups, there is a Faculty Discussion Club
which meets monthly to hear and discuss addresses by professors on timely
topics of philosophical and scientific interest.
SCIENTIFIC LABORATORIES.
Statements in regard to laboratories and general scientific equipment
in the Schools of Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Geology, and Physics
may be found under the announcements of those Schools in this bulletin.
More detailed information is contained in the General Catalogue.
REGULATIONS.
REGISTRATION.
Registration of New Students.—Applicants seeking admission to the
University for the first time must present themselves to the Dean of the
University at some time during the first three days of the session.
Registration of Matriculated Students.—Students who have previously
been matriculated as members of the University must present themselves
to the deans of their respective departments upon one of the first three
days of the session.
Delayed Registration.—Any student who fails to present himself for
registration during the first three days of the session will not be admitted
unless he can explain his delay in a manner satisfactory to the President,
and will be charged a delayed registration fee.
Registration after the Christmas Recess.—On the first week-day after
the Christmas Recess, every student is required to register by attending all the
classes or laboratory exercises at which he is due that day. No further formality
is necessary. Any student failing to register thus will be required to pay the
delayed registration fee, and will be liable to whatever penalties may be imposed
by his professors for unexcused absences. But if the delay is due to illness
or other providential cause, the dean is authorized to remit the fee and to notify
the professors concerned that the student's absences have been satisfactorily
explained.
RESIDENCE AND ATTENDANCE.
The Academic Year begins on the Thursday preceding the nineteenth
of September and continues for thirty-nine weeks. Thanksgiving Day and
Jefferson Day are holidays, and there is a Christmas recess beginning on
the last week-day before the twenty-third of December and closing on the
evening of the second of January.
Attendance is required of each student throughout the entire session,
with the exception of holidays, unless he has received written permission
to be temporarily absent, or to withdraw before the close of the session.
While in residence each student is required to attend regularly all lectures
and other prescribed exercises in the courses which he pursues, or else suffer
such penalties as his professors may impose for unexcused absences.
Leave of Absence from the University is granted for sufficient reason
by the dean of the department in which the student is registered, and must
in every case be obtained in advance. But leaves of absence for the purpose
of accompanying the athletic teams or other student organizations on
excursions will not be granted except to the officers and members of these
organizations. The laws relating to absence from the University of members
same regulations apply, mutatis mutandis, to members of other student organizations.
Voluntary Withdrawal from the University requires the written consent
of the Dean of the University and the dean of the department in which
the student is registered. For the conditions governing the return of fees
upon withdrawal, see the General Catalogue.
Absence from Examinations.—Written examinations are an essential
part of the work of every course in the University, and attendance upon
them is required of every student. Absence may be excused only on the
ground of sickness on the day of the examination (attested by a physician's
certificate), or for other imperative cause which may be approved by the several
faculties of the University.
Special Examinations are granted only upon prompt application therefor,
and in case the applicant's absence from the regular examination has
been excused. See the preceding paragraph.
Honor System.—All examinations are held under the Honor System,
and an unpledged paper is counted as a total failure. In matters of class
standing as well, students are expected to regard themselves as governed
by the law of honor.
ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS.
Admission to the Department.—For admission to the Department of
Graduate Studies a baccalaureate degree from a recognized institution of collegiate
rank is required, for men and women alike. In order to become a candidate
for a degree, the student must be advanced to candidacy by the Committee
on Rules and Courses upon formal application, as set forth below.
Advancement to Candidacy for a Degree.—Any graduate student who
wishes to become a candidate for a degree must file with the Dean of the Deparment
his application on a blank form to be secured from the Registrar.
This application must include a proposed program of work arranged in accordance
with the requirements for the several degrees as stated below, and must be
accompanied, in case the applicant does not hold an academic degree from this
University, by an official transcript of the applicant's academic record made
out by the Registrar of the institution from which the baccalaureate degree was
received, and by a catalogue of that institution, marked to show the courses of
study pursued. The application will be submitted by the Dean to the Committee
on Rules and Courses, who will consider it in conference with the professors
concerned. The Committee will have the right to require that the applicant
add to his program any courses, undergraduate or graduate, considered necessary
to supply his deficiencies, or to enable him to pursue with profit the courses
he has selected. When the program has been finally approved, the Dean will
report to the applicant his advancement to candidacy for a degree.
It should be distinctly understood that graduate degrees are not conferred
merely upon the basis of the number of courses passed, or of the length of
time spent in resident or non-resident work, but upon the basis of the quality
and scope of the candidate's knowledge, and his power of investigation in his
chosen field of study. Candidates whose training and attainments are inferior
cannot expect to secure a degree in the normal length of time estimated below
for the respective degrees.
REQUIREMENTS FOR DEGREES
Master of Arts.—The degree of Master of Arts will be conferred upon the
holder of a degree of Bachelor of Arts who has fulfilled the following requirements.
(1) The successful completion, in not less than one full year of resident
graduate work, of the program of studies approved for the candidate by the
Committee on Rules and Courses, as embodied in his formal application for
advancement to candidacy. This application must be submitted not later than
one week after registration, in the year in which it is expected that the degree
will be conferred. The program must form a consistent plan of work, to be
pursued with some definite aim, and grouped around some one subject to be
known as the candidate's Major Subject, the name of which will be incorporated
in the body of each diploma conferring the degree. The program should be
arranged in consultation with the professors concerned, and must be approved
in writing by a professor of the candidate's Major Subject, who shall be designated
by the Dean of the Department of Graduate Studies, after consultation with the
candidate.
(2) The preparation and submission of a thesis, to be accepted as satisfactory
by the professor of the candidate's Major Subject. Two copies of the thesis,
typewritten on paper of prescribed quality and size, and substantially bound,
must be deposited in the office of the Dean of the Department of Graduate Studies
not later than May 15 of the year in which it is expected that the degree will
be conferred. The back of the cover must bear the title of the thesis and the
writer's name, and the title page must bear the words: A thesis presented to the
Academic Faculty of the University of Virginia in candidacy for the degree
of Master of Arts.
Master of Science.—The degree of Master of Science will be conferred
upon the holder of a degree of Bachelor of Science who fulfills requirements
corresponding to those stated above for the degree of Master of Arts.
Doctor of Philosophy.—The degree of Doctor of Philosophy will be conferred
upon the holder of a baccalaureate degree who has fulfilled the following
requirements:
(1) The successful completion, in not less than three full years of graduate
work, of the program of studies approved for the candidate by the Committee
on Rules and Courses, as embodied in the student's formal application for advancement
October 1 of the session preceding the final year of candidacy for the degree.
The program of studies must include a Major Subject, pursued for at least three
years, and may include one, or two, Minor Subjects, pursued for at least one
year. The Minor Subject, or Subjects, if any, must be closely related to the
Major Subject, and the program as a whole must contribute to the mastery of
some definite field of knowledge as an object of study and research. The name
of the Major Subject will be incorporated in the body of the diploma conferring
the degree. At least one full year of graduate study, which must be the last
year of the student's candidacy, must be spent in residence; but by special permission
of the Committee on Rules and Courses the student may be allowed to
complete his dissertation in absentia.
Upon advancement to candidacy the Dean will appoint a special committee
of not less than three Professors, under the Chairmanship of the Professor of
the candidate's Major Subject, and including a representative of the Committee
on Rules and Courses. This committee will conduct the candidate's final
examinations, and pass upon his dissertation.
(2) A reading knowledge of French and German sufficient to enable the
student to use these languages for purposes of research. This knowledge shall
be attested by passing examinations in French and German, set by the professors
of these languages, in consultation with the Professor of the Major Subject,
not later than Oct. 1 of the session preceding the final year of candidacy for the
degree. Upon recommendation of the professor of the Major Subject, and at the
discretion of the Committee on Rules and Courses, some other language may
be substituted for either French or German.
(3) A final examination, written, oral, or both, in addition to all examinations
in course, upon such phases of the Major Subject and of allied subjects, as the
special committee shall prescribe. No candidate can be admitted to the final
examnation until his dissertation has been accepted. Preliminary examinations
may in addition be required by individual schools, as stated under the announcements
of these Schools.
(4) A Dissertation exhibiting independent research in some branch of the
candidate's Major Subject, submitted to the Special Committee not later than
April 15 of the last year of candidacy. The copy submitted shall be typewritten
upon paper of prescribed quality and size, and shall be substantially bound.
The cover shall bear the title of the dissertation and the name of the writer,
and the title page shall bear the words: A Dissertation presented to the Academic
Faculty of the University of Virginia in candidacy for the degree of Doctor
of Philosophy. Upon approval of the dissertation the candidate must arrange
for the publication, at the earliest practicable date, of the whole or such portions
of the dissertation as the special committee shall direct. If publication prior
to the conferring of the degree be impracticable, the candidate must deposit with
the Bursar a sum of money sufficient to cover the cost of 50 copies, which shall
be the property of the University Library. Two copies, in addition, must be
placed in the office of the Dean of the Graduate Department.
Grade.—A Graduate Student's standing in a course is indicated not by a
numerical grade, but by one of the following terms: Distinguished, Satisfactory,
Unsatisfactory.
Only those courses marked C and D may be counted toward a graduate degree.
Summer Session.—The Master's degree may be won by properly qualified
persons in three full Summer Quarters. In no case will this degree be conferred
without resident graduate study during three quarters, the equivalent in time of
the regular session. Not more than two graduate courses each term of the
Summer Quarter will be credited toward the degree except by special permission
of the Dean and the Committee concerned.
A candidate for the Master's degree in the Summer Quarter must register
with the Dean of the Graduate Department and submit a program of studies in
accordance with the regulations prescribed for admission to candidacy for that
degree in the regular session. In addition to the preparation of a thesis, a final
examination, written or oral, upon the program of study and acceptable to the
Professor of the candidate's major subject in the regular session of the University,
will be required.
APPROXIMATE SUMMARY OF NECESSARY EXPENSES.
The figures in the following tables may be taken as fairly accurate approximations
of all necessary expenses for a session of nine months. As
necessary expenses are reckoned here university and tuition fees, laboratory
fees, lodging, board, laundry, and books, but not clothing, traveling
expenses, or pocket money. For each department three estimates are given
—a low, an average, and a liberal estimate. The difference in the three depends
on the difference of expenditure for board, lodging, books, and laundry
—in other words, on the scale of living of the individual student. If a student
shares a room with another student, and practices the strictest economy,
he may possibly reduce his expenses below the low estimate.
| Virginians | Non-Virginians | |||||
| Low | Average | Liberal | Low | Average | Liberal | |
| University Fee | $ 40 | $ 40 | $ 40 | $ 60 | $ 60 | $ 60 |
| Tuition Fee | 160 | 160 | 160 | |||
| Laboratory Fees (average) | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 |
| Room, Heat, Light, Furniture and Service |
50 | 115 | 180 | 50 | 115 | 180 |
| Board | 200 | 250 | 300 | 200 | 250 | 300 |
| Books | 25 | 30 | 35 | 25 | 30 | 35 |
| Laundry | 25 | 35 | 50 | 25 | 35 | 50 |
| Total for Session of Nine Mos | $350 | $480 | $615 | $530 | $660 | $795 |
