OF EDUCATION

Three baccalaureate degrees are offered in the Department of Education:
Bachelor of Science in Education, Bachelor of Science in Health
Education, and Bachelor of Science in Physical Education. The specific requirements,

together with suggested curricula for the various degrees, are
herewith presented.

I. BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN EDUCATION

Candidates for the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Education must
complete 63 session-hours, divided among Required Subjects, Education,
and Electives-at-large.
