History of Existing Degree Programs

The starting point was a list developed in 1991 and continually updated for Michigan Tech’s Board of Control (BOC) by Helene Hiner in the Office of the Provost. The list was extended by researching additional sources including:

• 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 Name,1888-1974, found in an

  Office Student Records and Registration 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 Administration Building, fifth floor

  vault).

• “Courses” section, Abstract of the Proceedings of the Michigan College of Mining

  and Technology, Annette L. Sibilisky, 1935 (located in the Administration

  Building, fifth floor vault).

• Faculty Senate Minutes (University Senate web site).

•  Yellow shaded cells have information that differs from our central database.
• Any program codes with "-X" are not official codes but were made up in order to refer to a program without a code elsewhere (e.g., if a program had been renamed from an older program)
• Programs marked as "inactive" are those that had been offered at one point but are no longer listed as an option to current students but have not been formally shelved or eliminated. The "End Date" for inactive programs is the last time the program was listed as a student option (i.e., last year degree audits existed for the program, or last year the program was listed in the student catalog).
