OUTLINE OF COURSES.
The entire course of three years embraces 988 units (or lecture
periods of one and a half hours each) and to each subject satisfactorily
completed is attached a credit value of one unit for each lecture period
comprised therein. Of the total units, 600 are classed as obligatory and
the remaining 400 as elective. As stated, graduation requires the completion
of all the obligatory courses (credit value 600), plus elective
courses having a credit value of at least 250 units—or a minimum required
total of 850 units.
This contemplates an average of nine lecture periods (or 13½
hours) per week during the first and second years, and eight periods
(or 12 hours), the third year. The credit value of course number 4
(see table below) is 20 units.
Each session comprises 36 weeks, exclusive of holidays, and is
divided into three terms,—Sept. 15 to Dec. 23—Jan. 3 to March 21—
and March 22 to June 6.
Written examinations are held during the final week of each
term, on the subjects completed during the term.
The following tabular outline indicates the scope of the courses
