Other officers by appointment.

Five degrees are offered candidates for graduation in the regular session of
the College. 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. Appropriate courses taken in the
Summer Quarter count toward these degrees.

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 cultural baccalaureate degree, nor can any work done to remove
an entrance condition be counted for any degree.

The Summer Quarter is an integral part of the University year. Courses in
the College of Arts and Sciences as well as the Department of Education, are the
same in character and in credit value as in any other quarter of the University.
Degrees are conferred upon men and women upon exactly the same terms for
work done in the Summer Quarter when the degree requirements are fully met.
Sixty session-hours of undergraduate courses, exclusive of physical training, taken
in conformity with the requirements published herewith, are required for the
Bachelor's degree. Those who contemplate completing their degree requirements
in the Summer Quarter should keep clearly in mind, in estimating the time that
will be required, that the normal amount of credit which may be taken in one
Summer Quarter is six session-hours.

Candidates for a degree who desire credit for work done at other colleges
must satisfy the entrance requirements for regular students and must, in addition,
file with the Dean of the Summer Quarter a certificate covering the courses
for which college credit is desired. This certificate must be acceptable both to
the Dean of the Summer Quarter and to the Dean of the Department in which
the degree will be obtained. The certificate must bear the official signature of the
head of the candidate's college and must specify the character and content of the
courses passed by the candidate and must give his grade. In every case the
candidate must spend at least three full Summer Quarters at the University in
order to meet the residence requirements.

The Master's degree may be obtained by properly qualified persons in three
Summer Quarters. In no case is this degree to be conferred upon any person
who has not attended and done graduate work three full Summer Quarters or the
equivalent time in the regular session of the University.

All persons who are looking forward ultimately to taking a degree through
summer work are urgently requested to file with the Dean of the Summer Quarter
an official statement of their entrance requirements and work for which college
credit is desired.
