BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION 273
Students enrolled in the Portland M.B.A. program may take supporting work
in graduate engineering courses offered by the School of Engineering at Oregon
State University through the Portland Center.
Master of Science or Master of Arts. The program leading to the M.S. or
M.A. degree allows more specialization than the M.B.A. program, and is especially
adapted to the needs of students interested in careers in accounting, business statistics
and research, and industrial management.
The requirements are: (1) completion of the first-year core program or
equivalent; (2) 9 term hours of work selected from the second-year core program
in consultation with the candidate's adviser; (3) completion of a major in a specialized
field of business, normally 15 term hours; (4) a thesis, 9 term hours;
(5) completion of a minor in the school or in a cognate field (minimum, 12 term
hours) ; (6) for the M.A. degree, competence in a foreign language.
Candidates for the M.S. or M.A. degree are required to take a final written
comprehensive examination covering the major field of specialization and an oral
examination on the thesis.
Minor in Business Administration. A master's candidate with a major in
another field may elect a minor in business administration. The minor may consist
of (1) 15 term hours of work selected from the second-year core program or (2)
15 term hours in one general field of specialization. The adequacy of the candidate's
preparation is reviewed by the school before admission to work for a minor.
Students working for a master's degree in engineering from Oregon State
University at the Portland Continuation Center of the State System of Higher
Education may satisfy the requirements for a minor in business administration
through University graduate courses offered in Portland.
Foreign Students. The work of foreign graduate students (other than
Canadians) during their first year of residence is considered probational. A foreign
student will be admitted to candidacy for a master's degree only after the
faculty has had an opportunity to judge the adequacy of his background in business
education, his facility in the English language, and his ability to adjust to
an unfamiliar educational environment. In the program of the Division of Graduate
Studies, considerable attention is given to individual student problems, and
especially to the problems of foreign students.
Doctoral Program
THE DIVISION OF GRADUATE STUDIES offers a program of advanced
graduate study and research leading to the degree of Doctor of Business Administration,
to careers in college teaching and administration, and to responsible
research positions in business and government.
Admission. For admission to the doctoral program, the student must (1)
satisfy the admission requirements of the Graduate School, and (2) have the
background of graduate work required for a master's degree in business administration.
Degree Requirements. The requirements for the D.B.A. degree are as
follows:
(1) Completion of a minimum of 63 term hours of work above the level expected
for a master's degree in business administration.
(2) Completion of studies in each of the following five areas:
