By JAMES SIZEMORE
After a tooth and toenail bat
tle for their bachelor’s degree, a
majority of students pass up an
attempt to enter graduate school,
either through their own decision
or an inadequate record.
But for the ever-increasing
percentage who continue their
education, just what are the re
quirements for admission and
what can one expect of graduate
school?
According to Dr. Robert W.
Barzak, associate dean of grad
uate studies, graduate schools
have somewhat flexible rules for
admission, but they may have to
begin adhering to strict require
ments, developing a “cold fist at
titude” for admission.
“Applications for admission
have increased rapidly in the
past four years and the process
ing of admissions is fast becom
ing a fulltime job,” says Barzak.
He pointed out that the bar
rage of applications requires
much handling as they go to the
registrar, then to the department
applied for, back to the Dean of
the Graduate College for final
approval and then to the regis
trar, who sends out letters of ac
ceptance or rejection.
THE FLEXIBILITY of the ad
mission requirements is mainly
in the hands of the department
head in question since he is the
best able to interpret a student’s
record and determine the possi
bility of a student’s success in
graduate work. He will consider
grade point ratios and the courses
in a student’s major which pre
pares him for graduate school.
“Grade point ratios are the
most important measure of prob
able success in graduate study,”
said Barzak, “but a look at the
last two years’ grades are the
most enlightening.”
By observing the student’s rec
ord in his last two years of under
graduate study, it is possible to
determine the seriousness of at
titude which a student develops,
he added.
LETTERS OF recommendation,
if available, are also taken into
consideration for admittance as a
routine, but they are not required.
Letters from profs who know the
student well are helpful in point
ing out a student’s strong or weak
points and overall ability.
To be admitted to graduate
school an applicant must hold his
baccalaureate degree from some
college or university of recog
nized standing, show an indica
tion of his ability to enter ad
vanced study, have the necessary
course preparation to enter his
field of study and submit scores
on an appropriate test of the
GRE. These, plus letters of rec
ommendation or possible personal
interviews, will comprise the
points of consideration for a stu
dent’s admission to the graduate
level of study.
Once entered in the graduate
school, a student’s requirements
become stiffer and more quality
is demanded.

level of study is not just an ex
tension of lectures and courses
with a degree to be awarded at
the end. The study is more spe
cialized and detailed and requires
a large amount of self-initiated
study.
TO REMAIN in graduate
school, a student must maintain
an overall grade point ratio of
2.0 with no credit given on any
course in which the grade is less
than a C. If a student drops be
low this level he may be denied
further registration in the school.
The type of study involved
varies with the type of degree a
student is pursuing and the field
of study. Generally, the master
of science and master of arts de-
grees require a thesis and are re
search-oriented, while the master
of education is a professional de
gree with no thesis.
Barzak noted that some schools
allow the graduate study to begin
while a student is a junior or
senior, which allows them to have
the graduate degree in four or
five years of college. This points
to the idea that graduate courses
are just more of the same study
and, although some students may
follow this reasoning and receive
a degree, Barzak points out this
attitude is wrong.
“STUDENTS HAD better not
count on this,” Barzak said. “The
type of work is quite different
The students work in smaller
groups and have closer associa
tion with course instructors to
advise them.”
Moving past the master’s level
into the doctorate study, a stu
dent finds himself even farther
f i om the undergraduate style of
rtudy. Here the student engages
more and more in seminars rather
than lectures and works in even
smaller groups of students.
“The Ph.D.,” said Barzak, “is
essentially the badge of office de
noting a person highly trained
or educated — knowledgeable and
trained in self-initiated investiga
tion. He is oriented toward re
search.”
THE DOCTORATE disserta
tion is a paper to embody the
material the degree candidate
knows and is the basis of the
final exam for the degree. It is
frequently written in the lan
guage of the specialty, but must
be literate, organized and accur-
ate, j
“A Ph.D. holder,” says Barzak,
“knows more and more about
less and less. It’s like climbing
to the top of a pyramid. The
study is more and more special-
Chr
mch
iffee
fter
ized and thus more detailed."
Barzak pointed out that al
though none of the departments
at A&M have reached the satur
ation point of graduate students,
some are approaching this level.
Some fields must limit the num
ber of students depending on the
equipment or staff.
It is possible, then, that some
departments may soon be filled
and they will have to develop
what Barzak described as a “cold
fist attitude” as a general policy.
This means that those require
ments, which are now somewhat
flexible, will become rigid and
more discriminating.
