II. Regulations Concerning the Vocational Degree of
Bachelor of Science.

(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, and Mathematics 1A.

• (b) B Courses: The candidate must complete the work in French 2B and
  German 2B, and must also complete one B Course from Group II (p. 159),
  and two B Courses from Group III. These five courses should be completed
  during the first two years of candidacy.

• (c) B or C Courses: The candidate must complete the work of six courses
  selected from the electives-at-large in accordance with Section (3), below
  of these regulations.

First-Year Students receiving no advanced standing should take
English Literature 1A, Mathematics 1A, either French 2B, or
German 2B; and a B Course from Group III.

(2) Time required for Obtaining the Vocational B. S. Degree.

All undergraduates, except first-year students who enter without
advanced standing (Section (1) ), 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 vocational degree of
Bachelor of Science, by the candidate who enters without advanced
standing, is four years.

The candidate who enters with advanced standing from another
College (p. 81) must devote at least one full session to collegiate
work here, and must complete the work of at least three of the
required B or C Courses in this College. The programme of
studies offered by such candidate must satisfy all the requirements
of the vocational B. S. degree as here established.

(3) Major School and Electives-at-large.

At least two years before the date of expected graduation the
candidate must select one of the Schools of Natural or Mathematical
Science as his Major, or principal, School; and during
the remainder of his candidacy must pursue work in that School.
As subsidary to the principal subject thus chosen, he shall
pursue such other courses within the limits of the electives-atlarge
(see below) as are deemed most important in his case by
the professor or professors in charge of his major school, and
approved by the Academic Faculty.

Each elective-at-large consists of a B Course, or of a C Course
of which the precedent B Course has been completed. After
five B Courses have been chosen in accordance with Section
(1), (b), of these regulations, the six electives-at-large required
are to be selected, (subject to the restrictions detailed in the
first paragraph of this section), from the lists of B and C
Courses described under the head of the Academic Schools,
pp. 115-157.

(4) Title Conferred with Diploma.

The name of the principal subject selected by the successful
candidate shall be inscribed upon his diploma. For example,
the successful candidate who selected one of the Schools of
Chemistry as his major School, (Section (3) ), shall receive the
title of "Bachelor of Science in Chemistry."
