II. Masters of Arts.
The degree of Master of Arts of the University of Virginia will
be conferred upon a Bachelor of Arts who has completed the four M. A.
electives in the Academic Schools, chosen by himself and approved by
the Faculty. The course selected must in each case be submitted for
confirmation by the Faculty at least one scholastic year before the degree
is conferred. Each M. A. elective consists of a single course (involving,
where necessary, the completion of any course or courses prerequisite).
A brief summary of the courses open to candidates for the Master's
degree is given upon a following page, together with a schedule of the
hours of lectures and examinations: a description of each is given in its
proper connection in the portion of the catalogue, immediately following,
which treats of the work of the independent Academic Schools.
The courses indicated are also, in the majority of cases, included
among the advanced courses that may be offered as electives at large for
the degree of Bachelor of Arts: credit can, of course, be obtained for
any such course in but one of these capacities by the same candidate;
work done for the lower degrees in Arts being in no case counted again
as part of the work required for the attainment of the higher degree.
The preliminary degree required of candidates for the degree of Master
of Arts may be that of this University or some other chartered institution
of learning. But in the latter case the degree shall be submitted for
approval to the Faculty, who may accept or reject the degree offered.
Bachelors of Arts of other colleges or universities may, in the discretion
of the Academic Faculty, be required to pursue such supplementary
undergraduate courses as may be necessary for the effective pursuit of
the M. A. courses elected. Such candidates for the Master's degree are
required to complete the B. A. electives in the four schools elected for the
degree, unless excused from this undergraduate work by the professors
in charge of these schools.
