BACHELOR OF ARTS AND BACHELOR OF SCIENCE
The degree of Bachelor of Arts or of Bachelor of Science, respectively,
will be conferred upon regular students who have completed not less than
sixty (60) session-hours of undergraduate courses, taken in conformity with
the following programme:
(1) Required Subjects.—Candidates for either cultural degree must take
30 hours of required subjects as stated below and must in addition, unless exemption
is granted on a physician's certificate, complete the two years'
course in Physical Training which is not evaluated in session-hours (see
below). Of the 30 hours of required subjects not less than 24 hours must
be taken during the first two years, and the remaining 6 hours not later than
the third year.
Foreign Languages
For the Bachelor of Arts.—Nine session-hours from two languages, of which
six must be in either Latin or Greek.
For the Bachelor of Science.—Nine session-hours from two languages, of
which six must be in either French, German or Spanish.
Mathematics
For either degree.—Three session-hours.
Natural Science
For either degree.—Six session-hours.
English
For either degree.—Six session-hours, 3 of which may be in Biblical History,
or Biblical Literature, or Public Speaking, the other 3 being in English or
English Literature.
Social Science
For either degree.—Three session-hours in History B1 or B2, or Economics
B1, or Government B1, or Sociology B1 or B2. Economics B1, or Sociology B1,
if selected, cannot be taken before the candidate's second year. Sociology B2, if
selected, cannot be taken before the candidate's third year.
Philosophy
For either degree.—Three session-hours in Philosophy B1, Philosophy B2,
or Psychology B1.
Physical Training
For either degree.—Two years' course required of all candidates, which must
be completed before graduation. If not completed during the first two years, an
additional study-course of 3 session-hours must be taken. In this case, the candidate
must offer 63 hours, exclusive of Physical Training, for the degree. A
candidate excused on a physician's certificate from Physical Training during
his whole college course, however, is not required to take a 3-hour study-course
in place of Physical Training. He is required to offer only 60 session-hours for
the degree.
A candidate entering with advanced standing or with college credit shall
in his first, and, if necessary, continuously in subsequent sessions, take such
courses as are necessary to complete these requirements for the first and
second sessions.
(2) Electives-at-large.—Of the remaining 30 session-hours required by
the baccalaureate degree, 18 session-hours may be elected from any courses
in the academic schools for which the candidate has adequate preparation.
(3) Major-Electives.—The remaining 12 session-hours required for either
degree, shall be known as Major-Electives. The Major-Electives shall
include at least one C course, and must all be offered from some one of the
following Major-Groups of related subjects, except that when the Major-Group
is Group III, the candidate may offer, in lieu of a C course, any six-hour
B course in this Group, for admission to which another six-hour B
course in the Group is prerequisite. The Major-Electives must all be completed
in this College or in some professional department of this university.
Group I.—Languages, Literature, Fine Arts and Music.
Group II.—Social and Philosophical Sciences.
Group III.—Mathematical and Natural Sciences.
(4) Substitutions for Major-Electives.—The first-year course in Law, or
the first-year course in Medicine or 12 session-hours of technical courses in
one of the professional departments of Engineering or Education may be substituted
for the 12 session-hours of Major-Electives in academic subjects.
This work, which must be completed in one of the professional departments
of this University, cannot be begun by the candidate until he has spent at
least 2 sessions of 9 months each in successful work in this College, and has
at least 45 session-hours to his credit.
