Framingham in its recent growth has made a particular effort to develop further its Graduate Programs. Since 1961 when the College was authorized to grant its first Master's degree, the offerings have not only broadened but have maintained the regional and national accreditation already awarded the previously established regular day programs of the college.
For those who qualify, the Division of Graduate Studies offers the opportunity for advanced degree work, for developing expertise in a particular teaching field, and for acquiring further depth in an academic discipline. The Division also offers opportunities for intellectual development and cultural enrichment for those who may not have a professional objective or degree ambitions.
All of these opportunities are extended by a college whose rich heritage, growing campus, and expanding programs have constantly sought to provide a high level of education in a number of fields. The Division of Graduate Studies stands ready to advise you and to assist you in formulating a program which will best enable you in the furtherance of your education.

DIVISION OF GRADUATE AND CONTINUING STUDIES FRAMINGHAM STATE COLLEGE
DEDICATED TO THE PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION
_Framingham State College is located in the heart of the fastest growing area m Massachusetts. Over the last fifteen years, Framingham and its environs have shown the greatest rate of growth in the state. As a result of this growth Framingham State College, and more specifically 1l1e Division of Graduate and Continuing Studies, now offers a variety of programs to meet the expressed needs of the communities it serves.
The major function of the Division of Graduate and Continuing Studies is lo bring to its students a professional education of depth and breadth; an education consisting of a balance of the theoretical and the practical, and a balance of the arts and sciences, in order that students can function more easily in today's society and the more complex global society of tomorrow. Specific objectives of the rapidly growing Division of Graduate Studies include:
- providing a basic foundation in the arts and sciences - providing a sound professional background
- promoting individual growth
- encouraging the acquisition of new knowledges and skills - providing a specialized training in a given field or discipline
HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE
Since 1839 Framingham State College has been invested with the responsibility of training teachers. It has the prestige of being the oldest state-supported institution for the training of teachers in the United States.
Students from this college have been serving communities through-out the country, with the majority being employed in New England, and in particular, Massachusetts.
In September 1959 the college was empowered by the State Board
or
Education to grant the degree of Master of Education. This need was expressed by the communities within a radius of twenty (20) miles of the college campus. The program was initiated as a part-lime program with classes held in the afternoons, evenings. Saturdays and summers. The first group of candidates (eight in number) received their degrees in August. 1962.
In September, I 967, the college initiated its first full-time day graduate program with a total of twelve (I 2) students enrolled in Elementary Education and Home Economics Education. However, it is significant to note that the college presently has over one thousand ( I 000) part-time graduate students enrolled in Master's Degree Program.
On September 1968 the name of the college was officially changed to Framingham State College.
In March of 1969 the college was empowered by the Board of Trustees of Massachusetts State Colleges and the Board of Higher Education to grant the degrees of Master of Science and Master of Arts. The Master of Arts degree presently offers concentrations in School Guidance and School Administration, the Master of Science degree in Food and Nutrition.
Arlditional programs are now in the planning stage. The offerings of the college at the graduate level currently consist of the following programs.

Any resident of Massachusetts who has served in any branch of the armed forces for at least 90 days, one of which must have been served between September 16, 1940 and December 31, 1946 or between June 25, 1950 and January 31, 1955 and who has a discharge other than dishonorable may take any course offered at this college without paying tuition within the established limitation of 120 semester hours. To establish his eligibility, the veteran must present his discharge (or a photostatic copy) certificate of satisfactory service in the case of officers, together with certificate of residence at the time or registration.
Veterans officially enrolled in a degree program at this college who have served at least 180 days between February 1, 1965 and the termination of the Viet Nam emergency, and whose service was credited to Massachusetts are also exempt from paying tuition when they present a certificate of Exemption of Tuition from tJ1e Massachusetts Department of Education, 182 Tremont Street, Boston, Massachusetts. To obtain this certificate the veteran l"irst presents a ph.otostat of his discharge papers to tJ1e State Adjutant General, Room 184, State House, Boston, Massachusetts and obtains certification tJiat he meets the necessary requirements and that his service is credited to Massachusetts. This document, in turn, is submitted to the State Department of Education as indicated above. The Staie Department then issues the Certificate of Exemption from Tuition which must be presented at the time of registration to Framingham State College.
9
Any veterans of military service who do not fit into the above categories wilJ be considered non-veterans for registration purposes. Ho,wcver, it is possible that some veterans who are not eligible for the tuition exemption from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts may be entitled to reimbursement or subsistence from the Veterans Administration. These students must make arrangements for subsistence or reimbursement of tuition through the Veterans Administration since no forms for this purpose are available at the college.
Students should note that this college does not maintain a Veterans Affairs Office and that we are not in a position to advise or assist veterans.
All questions and arrangements are to be handled by the veteran directly with the Veterans Administration.
All veterans, whether or not exempt from paying tuition, must pay the registration and library fee.
Under an amendment passed by the Massachusetts Legislature July I, 1972, Veterans may use either the Federal or the State benefits for Veterans, but not both. They must present evidence for their eligibility for the same.
