Degree Course Is Being Favored by More Students – July 10, 1936
The Chronicle reported that St. Cloud State students favored the relatively new four-year degree program over the traditional two-year program. As education evolved in Minnesota public schools, the university had to adapt. To accommodate the changes, St. Cloud State began to offer four-year bachelor’s degree in 1928, master’s degrees in 1954, and then doctoral degrees in the 1990s as well as offering disciplines beyond teacher education.
