 The Graduate Committee of the Department of Education.-A special counselor is
appointed for each student in the Master of Education program. His work is under the
general supervision of the Graduate Committee in the Department of Education. The
program is administered through the Office of Graduate Studies in Education.

 MASTER OF AGRICULTURE
 This degree is designed for those students who wish additional training before
entering business occupations or professions, rather than for those interested primarily
in research. The basic requirements, including those for admission, residence, super-
visory committee, plan of study and admission to candidacy, are the same as for the
Master of Science in Agriculture degree, as outlined elsewhere, but the work require-
ments are made to conform to the specific objectives of this degree.
 Work Required.-A minimum of thirty-six semester hours of course work shall
be required, at least eighteen of which shall be designated strictly for graduates. Each
student's program is designed to take into account the qualifications and needs of the
individual and is subject to the approval of the supervisory committee. A thesis is not
required, but the student must submit reports, term papers, and records of work ac-
complished. A comprehensive written qualifying examination, given by his supervisory
committee, covering his major field of work is required before the beginning of the
second semester of work. Failure to qualify in this examination will result either in
the student's elimination from the program or in the taking of the additional course
work indicated. A final oral examination by the supervisory committee covering the
whole field of study of the candidate is required.
 For further details, inquire of the Dean of the College of Agriculture.

 MASTER OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
 This is a professional degree representing a fifth year of work for those students
who plan to enter business occupations and wish to go beyond the undergraduate
degree, and it is available for qualified students holding the degree of Bachelor of
Science in Business Administration, or its equivalent.
 Work Required.-Thirty semester hours of economic and business courses are re-
quired. Of these, not less than 15 semester hours must be in courses designated strictly
for graduates and numbered 500 or more.
 Examinations.-Two comprehensive examinations are required; a written exami-
nation at the time the candidate is admitted to candidacy, and an oral examination
at the end of the course work and confined largely to the field of concentration. The
written examination, which is offered through the Chairman of the Committee on
Graduate Offerings at the end of each semester, must be passed at least one semester
prior to the time the candidate receives his degree. The oral examination is conducted
by a special committee nominated by the Chairman upon application by the candidate.
 Supervisory Committee.-The work of students registered in this program is super-
vised by the Committee of Graduate Offerings of the College of Business Administra-
tion through its Chairman.
