Requirements for Vocational Degrees of Bachelor of Science.
A. Group Electives. Thirty session-hours.
Group I. Languages.
Six session-hours required, three of which must be in French
and three in German.
Group II. Mathematical Sciences.
Six session-hours, three of which must be Mathematics A1, required
from the following courses:
Mathematics A1.
Mathematics B1.
Mathematics B2.
Astronomy B1.
Group III. Natural Sciences.
Twelve session-hours in two subjects required from the following
courses:
Chemistry B1, or Chemistry B2.
Physics B1.
Botany B1.
Zoölogy B1.
Geology B1, or Economic Geology B1.
Group V. English.
Six session-hours, three of which must be English Literature
A1, required from the following courses:
English Literature A1.
English Literature B1.
English Literature B2.
English B1.
English B2.
B. Major School and Electives-at-Large. Thirty Session-Hours Required.
At least two years before the date of his expected graduation
the candidate must select one of the schools of natural or mathematical
sciences as his Major, or principal, School, and during the
remainder of his candidacy must pursue work in that school. In addition
to the work in his major school, the candidate shall pursue
such other courses as electives-at-large as are prescribed by the
professor or professors in charge of his major school and approved
by the Academic Faculty. The courses in the major school and
the other electives-at-large must aggregate not less than 30 session-hours.
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 shall receive the title of "Bachelor of Science
in Chemistry."
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.
