To enroll in the thesis program,
a student must have graduated
from a college, pass the qualify"

ulty members that he has an Im¬
portant problem worth Investigat¬
ing. Dean Watts said.
Tbe committee, which may
come from the department the
student-Is enrolled In or be any
faculty member on campus, acts
as an advisor and assists the
student In defining the problem.
They also help him get the In¬
formation, provide criticism of the
writing, challenge say irrespon¬
sible statement and approve the
final product.
The student and the committee
work closely together, since the
thesis reflects the ability of the
student as well as the faculty
committee.
Four copies of the completed
thesis must be typed, with one
copy going to the student, one to
the department the student was
working In, and two to the li¬
brary, said  r*SDn Watts.
Before giving Its final approval
the thesis committee checks the
content, format and prlntabillty
of the (herds. The approved work
will be typed and bound.
C'omptclesl   In flrSnrsiirT
An average thesis Is completed
in three semesters but there have
been times when they were fin¬
ished in one semester, commented
Dean Watts.
The major reason for the ex¬
tended time Is that candidates
rarely are full time students who
must work part of the time to
support themselves and their
families.
The graduate committee Is
striving for the formation of an
assistantship program through
which graduates can gel monetary
assistance from the college to en-'
roll In several classes, said Dean
Watts.
Since the graduate program be¬
gan In 1950. 817 degrees were
earned. These include MA and
MS degrees. Of these 550 were
enrolled In the thesis program as
well.
In order to be granted a grad¬
uate program, a department must
have a staff to teach and super¬
vise the thesis program, have ■
variety of offerings over the BA
requirements, a solid master's
program, evidence of students
wanting to do the work, adequate
library facilities, and In the case
of sciences,   additional   space  to
carry   on   Independent   research,
according to Dean Watts.
There are several requests for
other master's programs. Tbe
business department wants to
give a masters in business ad¬
ministration and the foreign lan¬
guage and geography depart¬
ments want to offer programs for
the master of arts degree. There
Is also a.request for s master's
