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
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 been in force since 1904.
THE GRADUATE HOUSE
The Graduate House, administrative headquarters of the Department of
Graduate Studies, is on West Lawn. 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. Each seminar room has a
small library for the use of advanced graduate students in the courses conducted
in that room. 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.
LIBRARY FACILITIES
The General Library contains over 100,000 volumes. Departmental
libraries, notably those of the Scientific Schools, the Classical, the English,
and the Heck Memorial Library of the Department of Education, have more
than 30,000 volumes. Graduate students may, through the office of the General
Library, get certain books needed in research from the Library of Congress
and the Virginia State Library. Library facilities for graduate study,
both in arts and sciences, are excellent.
GRADUATE CLUBS
Several general meetings of the students and officials of the Graduate
Department are held during the session for professional and social purposes.
Addresses are delivered by members of the Faculty or by visiting scholars,
followed by informal discussion. Besides these general conferences there are
regular weekly or bi-weekly meetings of graduate 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 is an important organization for the advancement of
technical knowledge. The University Committee on Research, while not
specifically an organization of the Department of Graduate Studies, is a
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.
SCIENTIFIC LABORATORIES
Each Scientific School occupies a separate building with an extensive
laboratory and a select departmental library. 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. More detailed information is contained in the General
Catalogue.
ORGANIZATION
The immediate direction of the Department of Graduate Studies is vested
in the Dean and an Administrative Committee of six professors, appointed
by the President, two of whom serve only during the Summer Quarter. The
Faculty of the Graduate Department consists of those professors in the
Academic Schools who offer graduate courses. Courses marked C are for
graduates and advanced undergraduates; those marked D are for graduates
only. The prerequisites for each course are indicated, varying from six to
twelve session-hours of college work. The various Schools, or departments,
fall into three general divisions, or groups, as follows:
Group I—Languages, Literature, Fine Arts, and Music.
Group II—Social and Philosophical Sciences.
Group III—Mathematical and Natural Sciences.
REGISTRATION
Every graduate student, new or old, is required to register at the office
of the Dean of the Department, Graduate House, West Lawn, who will advise
him in regard to a program of studies. The first three days of the session
are devoted to registration. Every applicant for admission to the Graduate
Department as candidate for a degree must file with the Dean an official
transcript of his college record. Admission to the Department does not
necessarily imply acceptance for candidacy to a degree. All applications
will be passed upon by the Committee on Rules and Courses of the Department
of Graduate Studies early in the first term, and each applicant will be
formally notified by the Dean of the tentative approval of his candidacy.
The final approval of his candidacy will depend upon his record during the
first term, or quarter, of his residence.
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
Department his application on a blank form to be secured from the Dean's
Secretary. 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.
(3) A final comprehensive examination, oral or written, after the acceptance
of the candidate's thesis, conducted by the candidate's major professor
and one or more of his departmental colleagues.
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 to candidacy. This application must be submitted not later
than 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
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 examination 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
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. At least
twelve session-hours of graduate work are required for the Master's degree.
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.
Scholarships and Fellowships.—A list of Scholarships and Fellowships
available for graduate students will be found in the catalogue of the Department.
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 | $ 50 | $ 50 | $ 50 | $ 60 | $ 60 | $ 60 |
| Tuition Fee | 190 | 190 | 190 | |||
| 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 Months | $360 | $490 | $625 | $560 | $690 | $825 |
