Academic Excellence With undergraduate programs leading to seven degrees, graduate study for six degrees on the master ' s level and coursework leading to the doctor of philosophy degree in five areas, the university enters an era of academic excellence. This spring the school looks forward to awarding the first PhD degree, signifying that Kent State is no longer youthful but mature instead. As important as the advanced pro- grams is the quality of instruction offered at the undergraduate level With 2059 courses and a faculty-staff of more than 700, Kent constantly strives for high standards within the four colleges. New teaching devices include inter-departmental courses and closed-circuit television. This June the school will graduate its first honors students, participants in a four-year program of enriched study. Numerous accreditations from learned societies also signify that Kent State itself has graduated as a full-fledged university.
