(AP Wirephoto) Business Administration Still Nursing Baby Ph. D. Program Administrators in the College of Business Administration are still nursing their infant doctor of philosophy degree program— and they want it that way. Not quite a year old, the Ph.D. in business will receive tender care so its graduates will have a head start when they earn the name “doctor.” Dr. John E. Pearson, dean of the college, said many universities make the mistake of rushing stu dents into the first two years of a doctoral program only to find out later they don’t have a staff large enough or qualified to guide the student when it becomes time to do research. “We have been selective, not because of particular backgrounds of students, but because we have the firm belief the most impor tant part of training is teaching him to do research which will truly advance the art of this pro fession,” Dr. Pearson explains. He described A&M’s degree program as one of the most flex ible in the nation. The first stu dent accepted, Douglas Sarbach, received a bachelor’s degree in architecture from Ohio State and a master’s in architecture from Columbia, he noted. The college currently has 12 doctoral students—four full-time, six part-time and two are teach ing at Sam Houston State and taking courses in the summer only. The six part-time students are A&M faculty-staff members. Plans call for the admittance of five students per year to the three-year program, for a total enrollment of 15. The College of Business was set up in 1967 and the Ph.D. pro gram was approved in October, 1968. Five students were enrolled in the spring semester. Despite no publicity on the de gree program, Dr. Pearson re ported it has spread from mouth- to-mouth and inquiries have come from throughout the nation. It will soon be published in Peterson’s Guide, a reference book on university degree pro grams. Currently enrolled are A&M assistant professors Billy J. Adams, Teddy L. Coe and Carlton D. Stolle, and instructors William C. Atkinson, James W. Camprise, Wayne Cook Hansen and Harry E. Zenner. Sam Houston instructors in clude George A. Elliott and Thom as W. Lawler. Graduate assist ants and fellowship students in clude Honnudike V. B. Rao, Ken neth B. Reinhardt and Sarbach.
