Overview of dating each of Michigan Technological Universitys degrees
This overview explains the methodology for how the degree approval dates were found as listed above in this report. The project began with a request to our provost for beginning and end dates to be used for official start and end program dates in our student information system. A list researched for Michigan Techs Board of Control by Helene Hiner and kept updated from 1991 to present was used as a starting point. Other source material was located and includes: a two-page paper list found in the Office of Student Records and Registration (OSRR) vault of degrees conferred and year in which each degree was added, a black three-ring binder, Degrees Conferred By Name1888-1974, found in an OSRR storage room (since relocated to the OSRR vault) which included original listings of names of graduates with specific degrees conferred for those years, Degrees offered from each catalog (located in OSRR vault) excluding missing volume from 1943-1944 (possibly not printed due to WWII shortages?) Board of Control Minutes books (located in the Administrative Buildings fifth floor vault in copy room) Courses section, Abstract of the Proceedings of the Michigan College of Mining and Technology, Annette L. Sibilisky, 1935 (located in Administrative Buildings fifth floor vault), and Faculty Senate Minutes (University Senate web site) Each of these resources was useful as no one source was complete. The list of degrees conferred with year degrees were added was added on to the 1991 detailed listing. This gave a framework of years but no actual approval date. These years were cross-checked with the OSRR catalog information, which proved a bit less accurate in that some years certain degrees were not published as offered but the degrees were not formally terminated either. Board of Control minutes were used for the year in the conferred list to locate an actual approval date by the board for each degree. There are several M.S. and one Ph.D. that were conferred as regular degrees (not honorary) that have no formal BOC approval date. It may be that an approval granted in 1926 was applied broadly, resulting in the granting of these degrees. The degrees are those marked with a c after the year and no month/day. Matching exact BOC dates to year-conferred was made somewhat less tedious and less prone to errors with the discovery of Annette Sibilskys 1935 Abstracts which summarized BOC minutes from 1888 to 1935 in a set of typed, tabulated, black, binder-formatted cross references. The original, older BOC minutes are all hand-written in beautiful, albeit difficult to

read, script. Once found in Annette Sibilskys abstract, the actual BOC minutes were checked for corroboration. Faculty Senate began formally here at Michigan Tech in 1959, with minutes now published to the University Senate website. There were some degrees where no BOC approval date was found but there was a Senate approval. Those degrees have the full date followed by s. There also were some degrees which are mentioned in Sibilskys abstract which do not have exactly the same mention in the BOC minutes. Those degrees (which do show they were conferred in OSRR records) are listed with the full date followed by a. One interesting finding is that there are relatively few degrees that have been formally ended through todays process with the Senate, BOC, and state. This seems to be a relatively recent process. Those Bachelors, Associates, and Minors are listed under the titles with Suspended/Eliminated list these degrees with suspended or eliminated specified whenfound. I found no evidence of any advanced degrees being formally suspended. I have not cross-checked but it would not be difficult to come up with a list of degrees that we currently do not offer but are not formally suspended/eliminated. This may be done by determining if the degree in question is listed with a start or conferred dated and is not listed under the Suspended/Eliminated listing. Finally, Lake Superior State University is no longer a Michigan Tech satellite campus but was at one time. Since references were found for degrees specifically approved for that location during the time it was affiliated with Michigan Tech, I have listed those separately, at the end of the report.
