New Tuck Degree

NEXT June's graduates of the Amos Tuck School of Business Administration will receive a new degree. In a change of policy announced by Karl A. Hill '38, Acting Dean, the Master of Business Administration (M.8.A.) degree, rather than the Master of Commercial Science (M.C.S.) degree, will be granted to the Tuck School graduates. The M.C.S. degree has been awarded since the founding of the School in 1900.

The change in degree, which was recommended by the Board of Overseers of Tuck School and approved by the Board of Trustees of the College, does not affect the requirements for the degree or the courses offered by Tuck. The main consideration determining the change was the fact that the majority of the business schools in the nation award the M.B.A. degree, while the Master of Commercial Science degree has come to cover a somewhat narrower and more strictly commercial field than that offered by the Tuck School curriculum.
