University of Virginia Library

Time Required for Obtaining the Degree of Bachelor of Arts or the
Cultural Degree of Bachelor of Science.

Students in the College are required to undertake each session
courses aggregating not less than 15 nor more than 18 session-hours.
For students, therefore, who enter without advanced standing the
normal time required for graduation is 4 years. A student receiving
advanced standing on not less than two A courses may obtain
a baccalaureate degree in three years if he is able to complete the
maximum course of 18 session-hours each session.

College-credit will be given for courses in certain subjects offered
in the Summer School of this university, so that a student by
work in the Summer School may materially shorten the time required
for obtaining a baccalaureate degree. 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 programmes of studies offered by such
candidates must moreover satisfy all the requirements above stated,
as to group-electives, electives-at-large and the major group.
