in counseling in the fields of mental retardation, drug abuse, correctional
rehabilitation, cultural or other behavioral problems can utilize elective
courses plus certain clinical experiences to gain specialized knowledge and
skill. Traineeship grants for selected students are available. See Financial Aid.
 WORK REQUIRED.-The minimum requirement is 70 credits, of which 46
 represent required work in rehabilitation courses, including an internship.
 An additional minimum of 24 credits is selected from designated courses;
 i.e., 1 to 3 courses in each of the following areas: (1) statistics and measure-
 ment, (2) personality development, and (3) counseling. The selection of the
 courses in each of the three areas is made to meet the individual needs of
 the student and is subject to the approval of a supervisory committee. At
 least 50 per cent of the minimum course requirements must be from courses
 numbered 600 and above.
 DEPARTMENTAL STUDY PROJECT.-A thesis is not required, but the candi-
 date must complete an approved departmental study or research project as
 part of the degree requirements.
 FINAL EXAMINATION.-Upon the satisfactory completion of all course work
 including the practicum and internship, each student must take a final written
 or oral departmental examination before the degree will be awarded. The
 primary purpose of this examination is to determine the student's ability to
 relate the knowledge, skills, and techniques learned in the academic program
 to practical applications of working effectively with disabled individuals.

 MASTER OF STATISTICS
 The minimum registration required for the Master of Statistics degree is
 54 credits, including no less than 30 credits in the major field. Courses in the
 degree program will be selected in consultation with the major adviser and
 approved by the student's supervisory committee. One 9-credit minor is re-
 quired. The work in the major field must be in courses approved for graduate
 major credit. For the minor, courses numbered 300 and above may be taken.
 At least half the 54 credits in regular course work must be in courses num-
 bered 600 and above. The student will be required to pass, as judged by his
 supervisory committee, a comprehensive written examination covering the
 major and minor subjects. In addition, he will be examined orally on his
 major subjects.


 REQUIREMENTS FOR
 THE ENGINEER DEGREE

 Industry has found that engineers holding either the master's or doctor's
degree contribute significantly in highly sophisticated operational and develop-
mental projects and missions which require engineering teams with an un-
usually high level of technical competence. Many of the projects and prob-
lems require education beyond the master's level, especially for those engi-
neers who received their master's degree several years ago.
