This collection consists of a seven-page typed description of requirements for the doctoral degree at the Georgia Institute of Technology. The description is undated.
During the years of President Van Leer's leadership of Georgia Tech, education at the graduate level was expanded. The first doctoral degree in chemical engineering was awarded to William L. Carter in 1950, and two years later forty-six students were working on doctorates in chemical engineering, chemistry, and electrical engineering. By 2002, doctorates in twenty-eight fields were offered by Georgia Tech. In that year, 257 doctoral degrees were awarded.
A print copy of this finding aid is available in the Georgia Tech Archives reading room.
