Established: 1922
Abolished: 1929
Location: Provo, Utah (1922-1929)
Functions
The purpose of the Graduate Division was to help students develop the power to do independent work and to encourage the spirit of research. For admission to graduate work, students were required to possess a bachelor's degree of equivalent achievement to that offered by Brigham Young University or else were required to pass an examination. Students were also required to complete a thesis, and were expected to receive B grades or better in 75 percent of their course, while no grades lower than C were counted toward the master's degree.
Assets and Administrative Structure
It appears that each school and department possessed a graduate division in which students could complete a master's degree. These professors presumably reported to the college dean. The Graduate Work Committee was associated with Graduate Division with chairmen C. Jenson, M. C. Merrill, H. M. Woodward, T. L. Martin, and H. Hansen.
