Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Virginia, 2002.

This dissertation examines two university-extension initiatives in Virginia at mid-twentieth century. The study specifically explores the establishment and development of an extension center and a branch college in Northern Virginia, both affiliated with the University of Virginia. These schools played seminal roles in bringing public higher education to Northern Virginia and later establishing a state university in the region. Both the Northern Virginia University Center (1949) and University College (1957), later named George Mason College of the University of Virginia, were conceived with the understanding that each institution would serve distinctive higher educational missions in Northern Virginia.

520 $a This dissertation examines two university-extension initiatives in Virginia at mid-twentieth century. The study specifically explores the establishment and development of an extension center and a branch college in Northern Virginia, both affiliated with the University of Virginia. These schools played seminal roles in bringing public higher education to Northern Virginia and later establishing a state university in the region. Both the Northern Virginia University Center (1949) and University College (1957), later named George Mason College of the University of Virginia, were conceived with the understanding that each institution would serve distinctive higher educational missions in Northern Virginia.
520 $a In addition, this study adds to the existing literature on the branch-college movement in Virginia at mid-twentieth century. By focusing on the formative years of George Mason University when it operated as a branch college, a unique institutional identity and transformation, unlike any of the other branch colleges associated with the University of Virginia, is disclosed. This dissertation highlights the following key topics: (1) the role of the University of Virginia in university extension in the Commonwealth of Virginia; (2) the administration and supervision of university extension by the University of Virginia; (3) the demographics of Northern Virginia at mid-twentieth century and the need for public higher education in the region; (4) the role of local jurisdictions, organizations, and individuals in Northern Virginia in persuading the University of Virginia and the General Assembly to support higher education in the region; (5) the pivotal events associated with the establishment of an extension center and a liberal-arts branch college in Northern Virginia; (6) the controversies surrounding the permanent site selection of George Mason College and the alleged indiscretions of its second director; and (7) the distinctive transformations of the University of Virginia's Northern-Virginia branch from a two-year transfer college to a four-year degree-granting branch college to an independent state university.
