OUTLINE OF COURSES.
The entire course of three years embraces 1020 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—except the course number 4 (see table
below) is valued at 26 units. Of the total units, 765 are classed
as obligatory and the remaining 255 as elective. As stated, graduation
requires the completion of all the obligatory courses (credit
value 765), plus elective courses having a credit value of at least
85 units—or a minimum required total of 850 units.
This contemplates an average of nine lecture periods (or 13 1-2
hours) per week during the first and second years, and eight periods
(or 12 hours) the third year.
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. See Schedule of
Examinations, p. 192.
The following outline indicates the scope of the courses offered,—
