University of Virginia Library

Six in Three

Some English and foreign language requirements
remain, and a student must have at least
six hours credit in each of the areas of Natural
Science and Mathematics, Social Sciences, and
Humanities.

In addition, two semesters of physical
education are recommended and the pass-fail
option cannot be used on any of the required
hours.

The Echols Scholars program has been altered
so that there are no course requirements.

Echols Scholars must only have 120 hours
and a 2.0 average in order to graduate. In
addition, they are allowed to graduate without
a major if they so desire, and are encouraged to
take academic leave at another University.

The program remains open by invitation
only to students in the College of Arts and
Sciences.

Further information and clarification on the
reforms can be found in the University of
Virginia Record for 1970-1971, Number 11, for
the College of Arts and Sciences; or in the
pamphlet "A Message from the Dean."

The pamphlet is designed as an aid for first
year students as they select their courses for
this semester. It explains the degree
requirements and special programs, and then
goes closely into the area requirements for the
Bachelor of Arts degree.

It describes the options available, and closes
with a survey of the academic Associations.
