The University publishes also a quarto series, entitled Memoirs of the University of California; the University of California Chronicle, a quarterly journal; a Monthly Meteorological Synopsis of Berkeley, a semi-annual Bulletin of the Seismographic Stations; a Prize Essay series; a Library bulletin, and the circulars and bulletins of the Agricultural Experiment Station. A circular containing a list of the publications of the University may be obtained by application to the University Press. STATEMENT OF CONDITIONS OF ADMISSION, CANDIDACY, AND DEGREES IN THE GRADUATE DIVISION GRADUATE COURSES Advanced instruction, leading to the several degrees of Master of Science, Master of Arts, Graduate in Architecture, Graduate in Education, Graduate in Public Health, Juris Doctor, Electrical Engineer, Civil Engineer, Mechanical Engineer, Metallurgical Engineer, Mining Engineer, and Doctor of Philosophy, is offered by the University of California to graduates of any recognized college or university. The University Library contains about 403,000 volumes, including a Law Library of some 25,000 volumes. In addition thereto is the valuable and extensive material contained in the Bancroft Collection. The Library is admirably adapted for purposes of advanced study and research. The laboratories are extensive and well equipped, and every facility is afforded for research work in both pure and applied science. REQUIREMENTS FOR THE TEACHER'S RECOMMENDATION Professional training for students who desire to teach is offered by the University through the School of Education, in which departments that offer special teachers' courses are represented. The requirements for the Recommendation for the Teacher's Certificate are given below under the School of Education. REGULATIONS OF THE FACULTIES CONCERNING GRADUATE ADMISSION TO GRADUATE STANDING Graduates of the institutions constituting the Association of American Universities and of many other institutions are admitted to the Graduate Division upon presentation of their Bachelor's diploma at the office of the Recorder of the Faculties. Graduates of institutions not in the accepted list of the University may be admitted to the Graduate Division with the approval of the Dean of the Graduate Division after an evaluation of their certified college record by the University Examiner. Admission to the Graduate Division does not of itself imply admission to candidacy for a higher degree. The grade of work which graduate students may elect and their standing as candidates for degrees will depend upon the extent and character of their undergraduate courses. If the preliminary training of candidates has not been sufficient to qualify them for strictly graduate work they must pursue such undergraduate courses as may be suited to their needs. II CANDIDACY AND RESIDENCE Students in the Graduate Division are classified either as resident graduate students or as graduate students in absence. Resident graduate students register with the Recorder of the Faculties on a day set aside for that purpose at the opening of each session. Graduate students in absence may complete their registration only with the approval of the department or departments in which studies are to be pursued and of the Dean of the Graduate Division, from whom blank forms for graduate study in absence may be obtained. If necessary, registration for graduate study in absence may be arranged by correspondence with the Dean. All graduate students, whether in residence or in absence, are required to renew their registration at the University at the beginning of every regular session. No graduate student is considered as a candidate for a degree unless he has been expressly advanced to candidacy by the Graduate Council upon formal petition. At least one academic half-year must elapse between formal advancement to candidacy for a degree and the conferring of such degree. Registration as a resident graduate student must, except in the case of graduates of the University of California, precede formal advancement to candidacy for a higher degree. If a student, who has pursued graduate studies in absence, later becomes a resident student and a candidate for a higher degree, the work done in absence will be given due consideration on its merits, but in every case, except that of candidacy for certain advanced degrees in engineering, at least one year is held to be residence at the University. Residence at the Lick Observatory at Mount Hamilton, at the Southern California Pathological Laboratory and Graduate School of Tropical Agriculture at Riverside, at the Scripps Institution for Biological Research at La Jolla, or at the University Farm at Davis is regarded as residence at the University for students who have been formally authorized to work at any of these places. Furthermore, residence wherever a student may be directed by the Faculty to prosecute regular research is held to be residence at the University. Two summer sessions or one summer session and one intersession, devoted to an approved course of study, may be rated as the equivalent of one half-year for purposes of residence. Candidates for degrees may, at the discretion of the Graduate Council, be given credit for work taken at other universities, but such allowance of credit will not ordinarily reduce the minimum period of one year of residence required at the University of California. Every graduate student must register for, attend, and complete upper division major or graduate courses amounting to at least four units per week each half-year, in order to satisfy the minimum residence requirement in candidacy for any higher degree. Candidates who have received the bachelor's degree on the basis of twelve units of upper division major work in a single department shall complete at least three units of upper division major courses in the major subject, in addition to the usual requirement of eight units of graduate work. Admission to graduate courses shall be based on adequate preparation in upper division major courses. Ordinarily the completion of twelve units of upper division major courses in the subject of the graduate course shall form the basis of admission to the course. Generally a graduate student shall not receive credit for more than twelve units in strictly graduate, or more than sixteen units in upper division major courses, during any one semester, or credit in graduate and upper division major courses in proportion. III CONDITIONS FOR A BACHELOR'S DEGREE FOR A GRADUATE STUDENT Graduate students may be recommended as candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science on completing at least twentyfour units during one or more years of attendance upon such courses of instruction as are regularly pursued by seniors in the University of California, and on performing such additional work and passing such examinations as may appear necessary to the Academic Senate. In all cases candidates must satisfy the graduate requirement of thirty-six units of advanced studies (as set forth in the Circular of Information) in the College of Letters and Science, or their equivalent in the colleges of applied science, not all of which, however, need have been done while in residence at this University. No person will be recommended for a bachelor's degree who shall not have satisfied substantially, at the time of procedure to the degree, the conditions imposed upon undergraduate students at the University of California. IV REQUIREMENTS FOR THE MASTER'S DEGREE-M.A., OR M.S. Preliminary Preparation.—The preliminary training of the candidate for the degree of Master of Arts or of Master of Science should be substantially the equivalent of that represented by the corresponding bachelors degree of the University of California. A bachelor's degree in the University of California represents eight years of systematic high school and collegiate work distributed according to the requirements of the university for the particular college or course in which the student takes his degree. If the candidate's undergraduate course is found to be in any serious respect deficient as to breadth or fundamental training, or fails to provide a proper foundation for advanced work in the department or departments of the candidate's choice, it may be necessary for him to devote some time to undergraduate courses, and this may involve a longer period of residence than would normally be the case. A graduate from an institution in the accepted list is admitted to candidacy for a master's degree at the University of California on an equality with a graduate of the University of California if his college course has included thirty-six units of advanced studies, with fifteen units in the department of his major subject. Such a student is not required to undertake additional work unless specifically required by the department of his major subject. Amount and distribution of work.-There are required twenty semester units, including a thesis, which may count for not more than four units. The courses must be graduate courses or undergraduate major courses. At least eight of the twenty units, including the thesis, must be strictly graduate work in the major subject. It is expected that the work of the graduate course, or courses, together with the thesis, should ordinarily amount to not less than half of the entire work presented for the degree. Provided the foregoing requirements be met, the work may be distributed in any way that shall be satisfactory to the department in charge of the major subject, which department will supervise the student's work during his candidacy. Special departmental requirements may be found in this Announcement (see pages 00-00). Residence (attendance) required. The student must be in residence one year. Two summer sessions, or one summer session and one intersession, may be rated as the equivalent of one half-year for purposes of residence. A student is not regarded as a student in residence unless he is actually attending regularly authorized university exercises amounting to at least four units per week of major or graduate grade during a regular session, or of at least two units during a summer session. While ordinarily all of |
