REQUIREMENTS FOR DEGREES
Full opportunity is given to any student to carry out any definite plan of
work which he may have in view on coming to the University, or which
may have been prescribed for him by those under whose direction he is completing
his education. But when no well-considered plan has been outlined
in advance, and the end in view is that for which the great majority of
students should enter college, namely, the attainment of a liberal education,
the student will be expected to enter upon regular work of the college leading
to a baccalaureate degree.
Five degrees are offered candidates for graduation in the College of Arts
and Sciences. Two of these, the Bachelor of Arts and the Bachelor of
Science, are cultural; the Bachelor of Science in a Special Subject, the name
of which is inscribed on the diploma, the Bachelor of Science in Architecture,
and the Bachelor of Science in Commerce, are vocational degrees, designed
for those who wish to fit themselves especially for professional work.
No course offered by a successful candidate for one of the cultural baccalaureate
degrees can be offered by the same candidate as part of the work
credited toward the other
