 Smith
College offers men and women graduate work leading to the degrees of master of arts
in teaching (elementary, middle or high school), master of fine arts, master of education
of the deaf, master of science in biological sciences, master of science in exercise and sport
studies and master and Ph.D. in social work. In special one-year programs, international students
may qualify for a certificate of graduate studies or a diploma in American studies. Each year
approximately 100 men and women pursue such advanced work. Individuals may also enroll as nondegree
students by registering for one or more courses.
Smith College
is noted for its superb facilities, bucolic setting and distinguished
faculty who are recognized for their scholarship and interest
in teaching. Moreover, graduate students can expect to participate
in small classes and receive personalized attention from instructors.
Most
graduate courses, which are designated as 500-level courses
in the course listings, are planned for graduate students who are
degree candidates. The departments offering this work present a limited
number of graduate seminars, advanced experimental work or special
studies designed for graduate students. Graduate students may take
advanced undergraduate courses, subject to the availability and according
to the provisions stated in the paragraphs describing the requirements
for the graduate degrees. Departmental graduate advisers help graduate students
individually to devise appropriate programs of study.
For all degree programs, all work to be counted toward the degree
(including the thesis) must receive a grade of at least B-minus, but the degree will not
be awarded to a student who has no grade above this minimum. Courses for graduate study
may not be taken on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory basis. |
