BACHELOR OF ARTS.
The degree of Bachelor of Arts of the University of Virginia is
conferred upon the candidate who has completed the work of thirteen
courses in accordance with the regulations given below.
Regulations Concerning the Bachelor of Arts Degree.
(1) Selection and Number of Courses.
Unless admitted to advanced standing (p. 81), the candidate must
select the required thirteen courses as follows:
(a) A Courses: The candidate must complete the work of English Literature
1A, Mathematics 1A; and either Latin 1A, or Greek 2A.(b) B Courses: The candidate must complete eight B Courses selected from
the six groups given above (p. 159) as follows: two B Courses must be
selected from Group I, and one of these must be either Latin 2B or
Greek 3B; one B Course must be selected from Group II; two from
Group III; one from Group IV, one from Group V, and one from
Group VI.(c) B or C Courses: The candidate must complete the work of two courses
selected from the electives-at-large in accordance with Section (3), below,
of these regulations. [See also Section (4)].
First-Year Students receiving no advanced standing should
take English Literature 1A, Mathematics 1A, Latin 1A (or some
other foreign language), and a Natural Science (or Greek 2A,
if both Latin and Greek are selected from Group I).
(2) Time Required for Obtaining the B. A. Degree.
All undergraduates, except first-year students who enter without
advanced standing (Section (1) above), are required to
undertake the work of three courses each session; and of only
three, unless otherwise authorized by the Academic Faculty.
Hence, the time normally required for obtaining the degree
of Bachelor of Arts by the candidate who enters without advanced
standing is four years. (See also Section (4), (b),
below.)
The candidate who enters with advanced standing from another
College (p. 81) must devote at least one full session exclusively
to Collegiate work here, and must complete the work of at
(1) ). The programme of studies offered by such candidate
must satisfy all the requirements of the B. A. degree as here
established.
(3) Elective-at-large, and Major Group.
Each elective-at-large consists of a B Course, or a C Course of
which the precedent B Course has been completed. After having
selected eight B Courses in accordance with Section (1),
(b), of these regulations, the candidate may offer as an elective-at-large
any B Course, not already selected, described under
the head of Academic Schools, pp. 115-157; or any C Course,
of which the precedent B Course has been completed, described
under the head of the Academic Schools, pp. 115-157.
But in every case the two electives-at-large must be selected
from the subjects of some one of the six groups (p. 159); and
this group is to be known as the Candidate's Major Group.
(4) Substitutions Allowed for Electives-at-large.
(a) The candidate who offers both B Latin and B Greek from
Group I (p. 159) is required to offer only one elective-at-large
(Section (1), (c) ).
(b) The candidate who has satisfied the requirements of Section
(1), (a) and (b), of these regulations, will be permitted to offer
in lieu of the two electives-at-large, (Section (1), (c) ), the
work of the first year in the Department of Law, or of Medicine,
or any three technical courses in the Department of Engineering.
Thus the candidate who desires to obtain both the B. A. degree
and a professional degree may save about one year of the time
required for both degrees.
