Beyond the bachelor degree How much more time must a graduate student spend studying over the average undergraduate? “Ugh! One hundred percent more!’’ one 22-year-old graduate student moaned. Despite that, more people enroll every semester in UWEC’s School of Graduate Studies. According to Dr. R. Dale Dick, dean of the School of Graduate Studies. Eau Claire first offered a graduate program in 1960. The only degree offered at that time was the Master of Science in Teaching. Today the school offers five degrees in 14 areas of concentration. Twenty-four academic departments offer graduate courses. Currently, the school offers the following degrees: Master of Science in Teaching (MST) with programs in elementary education and reading, junior high education, business education, music, and secondary education with specialization in history and social science. English, speech, chemistry, biology and mathematics; Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT), for student with liberal arts degrees who wish to become qualified to teach in public secondary schools, with specializations in business, music, history, English, speech, chemistry, biology and mathematics; Master of Science in Education (MSE) with specializations in communicative disorders, school psychology and special education; the Master of Arts (MA) with specializations in English and history; and the Master of Science (MS) with specializations in biology, chemistry, instruction and administration in Medical Techology. and Communicative Disorders. In addition. Dick said the school was accredited this year to offer a program for the Specialist in Education in Business Education degree. He noted that the University is also planning to offer degrees in Specialist in School Psychology and Specialist in Special Education, and MS programs in Nursing and in Public Health in the future. The most popular degree programs are specialized in elementary education, communicative disorders, special education and business education. About 600 graduate students enroll each semester, but only about one-third of them are full-time students. During the fall 1975 semester, only 132 of 609 students were full-time students. By contrast. 8,256 of the 8,736 under graduates were full-time students. During that same semester, which was a typical one, 413 students were women, and 196 were men. Sixty-five percent of all graduate students this year were married; only 7.6 percent of the undergraduates were married. This partially explains why only four graduate students lived in the residence halls. Most of the graduate students here were Wisconsin residents. Dick said most of the graduate degree programs can be completed in one or two years. The average semester credit load is 12 hours. But graduate students are expected to maintain a 3.0 gradepoint average, and many of the students are required to take an oral examination and to write a thesis. Maybe that explains why a graduate student has to study “100 percent’ more than the undergraduate does.

The European trip to Germany, coordinated by Adam Bora, assistant professor of German and counselor, is in its third year. The trip is open to seven people; if more wish to sign up, a class of 15 to 20 may go. Cost of the trip is $1,450. It will run from May 21 to June 11 this year. Bore said most participants have been from the community. The tour, however, is geared toward those students who want a European experience but don’t have a foreign language background. The trip includes visits to Stuttgart, the Black Forest, Oberammergau, Salzburg. Vienna and Munich. One program within the United States is the exchange program with Grambling College in Grambling. LA. The program has been operating since 1970 and usually about three to five students are exchanged between the schools each semester. However, according to John Stoelting, director of the program here, interest has been fading and applicants are difficult to find. At the time the program was started, there was a high interest in race relations, but that has died down. People are rather apathetic toward minority groups now, he said. OlM of Copenhagen I old world” flavor —a guard at the Amallrnborg f xlace Http hi» teriou uatch even in front of a photographer' Uni The student pays regular UWEC tuition for the semester at Grambling. Transportation costs are the only extra expense. Students are required to live and eat on campus there. Credits and grades are accepted as though they were earned at UWEC. Until this past semester, UWEC was the only school in the system participating in the exchange, but UW-Whitewater sent two students down in 1976. The purpose of the program is to give students the opportunity to live in a different culture and to have to make adjustments to that culture. Connie Hutchison attended Grambling. a predominantly black school, during the fall semester this year. The opportunity was there ... it gave me a chance to know another part of the country, another culture. she said. It was hard to adjust to being a minority, she said, but added that she quickly learned that people are people and there is no reason for racial prejudices. 28
