COURSES OF INSTRUCTION:
The college is now organized on a semester basis and the departmental type of organization
has been completed. A number of new courses and instructors have been added to replace
those eliminated through the conversion of Mary Washington into a liberal arts college.
New majors in Economics and Business Administration, Philosophy, Political Science,
Sociology, and in Home Economics have been inaugurated during this four year period. The
latter major leads to a degree of Bachelor of Science in Home Economics, but its courses
do not have a vocational aim. For non-majors, only twelve hours of work in this field
may be counted toward a liberal arts degree. It is further understood that a maximum of
twelve hours credit, only, in these, and in practical education courses may be counted as
electives for the B.A. or B.S. degrees. A program of Honors Work was introduced for the
1947-48 session and will be extended.
