Graduate School Functioning as a separate unit of the University, the Graduate School has as its motivating force the achievement of a successful combination of specialization with a broad understanding of education. The Graduate School is comparatively young as a departmental development in the University. Although its organization was begun under the guidance of the Rev. George A. Deglman, S.J., it was not until 1924 that its inception as a department was formally completed. Under the direction of Dr. Edward A. Fitzpatrick, dean of the School since its organization, a program and method of study eliminating the narrowness of vision that characterizes most graduate work has been successfully introduced. Only those students who have completed four years of undergraduate study, and who desire to further their education on subjects in which they have had extended training in their undergraduate days are eligible for admittance into this freer and more intensive field of endeavor. Control of advanced study and research throughout the University lies with the Graduate School. The scope of this school includes the fields of economics, education, English, history, journalism, mathematics, classical and modern language, philosophy, speech, natural and social sciences, and mission science.
