COUNSELING SERVICES FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS Graduate students in Education are assisted in solving their problems of program planning and in the selection of courses of study by the Office of Graduate Studies in Education. It is the function of this office to induct new graduate students into the Department and to provide them with needed information. The office also recommends counselors and committee appointments to the Dean of the Graduate School. The Office of Graduate Studies in Education confers with each student with reference to his choice of a degree program and his plans for meeting state certifica- tion requirements at the graduate level, and assists the student in evaluating his past work and in ascertaining his present needs. Counseling activities are initiated in the Office of Graduate Studies, but the major responsibility for planning with the student is assigned to the faculty member appointed to serve as the student's personal adviser. This faculty member represents the field of the graduate student's principal specialization or interest. COMPREHENSIVE EXAMINATION IN EDUCATION All graduate students carrying programs in Education are required to undergo a comprehensive examination, the purposes of which are three-fold: (1) to provide additional data to be used in counseling and guiding students, especially in connection with planning programs adequate to meet their needs; (2) to provide information which may be used in connection with the student's admission to candidacy; and (3) to be one of the factors in determining the fitness of the student to pursue the doctoral program. A fee for the comprehensive examination is charged to each student doing graduate work in Education, payable at the time of registration with other fees. For the current year the fee is $6.00 ($10.00 for part-time students). At the present time, the examination used is the National Teacher Examination. FIELDS OF SPECIALIZATION Most graduate students select a field of specialization which represents their major interest or goal in pursuing graduate work. Some of the courses which the student will select will be definitely essential to the development of this specialization; others will be intended to provide a general understanding and appreciation of the entire edu- cational field, or they may be essential to the development of background necessary to the area of specialization.
