Time Required for Obtaining the Vocational B. S. Degree.

Undergraduate students are required to undertake in any one
session courses aggregating not less than 15 nor more than 18
session-hours. Hence, the time normally required for obtaining
the vocational degree of Bachelor of Science by a candidate who
enters without advanced standing is four years. A candidate entering
with advanced standing in Mathematics A1 and English Literature
A1 may obtain the degree in three years, if he is able to complete
the maximum course of 18 session-hours each session. By
work in the Summer School of this university, the time required for
obtaining the degree may be materially shortened. Students entering
from other colleges of recognized standing may be credited with
not more than 45 session-hours, and must therefore spend at least
one year in residence and complete not less than 15 session-hours
of work in this college. The programme of studies offered by such
candidates must moreover satisfy all the requirements above stated
as to group-electives, electives-at-large, and major subject.
