RE: Meeting of December 8, 1964

A. New Business

2. Recommendations from the Committee on Graduate Study (Mr. Hoopes)

a. The Committee on Graduate Study moves that the Faculty and Administration of Oakland University request from the President and Board of Trustees of Michigan State University authorization to offer graduate programs carrying credit and leading variously to the degrees of Master of Arts (M.A.), Master of Science (M.S.), and Master of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T.)

The Departments, Divisions, and Programs listed below have indicated their willingness and presented preliminary plans to the Committee on Graduate Study:

Chemistry 
Elementary Education
English
History 
Mathematics
Political Science
Social Science
Sociology

It is therefore further moved (a) that the Chancellor, in consultation with the Chairman of the Committee on Graduate Study and the Dean of the University, designate and recommend to the President and Board of Trustees that no less than two of these areas, representing at least two of the University divisions, proceed with program announcement and seek course enrollment for Fall semester, 1965; (b) that selection and recommendation from the above list of Departments, Divisions, and Programs be made according to careful judgment of both academic appropriateness and economic viability; (c) that such selection and recommendation include programs leading to at least two of the Master's degrees specified in Paragraph 1 of this motion.

It is to be understood as part of this motion that the Academic Senate intends from time to time to propose to the President and Board of Trustees additional graduate programs, both from the above list and elsewhere from the University's curricular and faculty resources; and that it intends to request permission to commence such as it may specify among these programs in the Fall of 1966 and thereafter.
