II. Regulations Concerning the Vocational Degree of
Bachelor of Science.

(1) Selection and Number of Courses.

Unless admitted to advanced standing, (p. 74), the candidate must
select the required thirteen courses as follows:

• (a) A Courses: The candidate must complete the work of English Literature
  1A, and Mathematics 1A.

• (b) B Courses: The candidate must complete the work in French 2B and
  German 2B, and must also complete one B Course from Group II
  (p. 151), and two B Courses from Group III. These five courses
  should be completed during the first two years of candidacy.

• (c) B or C Courses: The candidate must complete the work of six courses
  selected from the electives-at-large in accordance with Section (3), below
  of these regulations.

First-Year Students receiving no advanced standing should take
English Literature 1A. Mathematics 1A, either French 2B, or
German 2B; and a B Course from Group III.

(2) Time required for Obtaining the Vocational B. S. Degree.

All undergraduates, except first-year students who enter without
advanced standing (Section (1)), are required to undertake the
work of three courses each session; and of only three unless otherwise
authorized by the Academic Faculty. Hence, the time normally
required for obtaining the vocational degree of Bachelor of
Science, by the candidate who enters without advanced standing,
is four years.

The candidate who enters with advanced standing from another
College (p. 74) must devote at least one full session to collegiate

work here, and must complete the work of at least three of the
required B or C Courses in this College. The programme of studies
offered by such candidate must satisfy all the requirements of the
vocational B. S. degree as here established.

(3) Major School and Electives-at-Large.

At least two years before the date of expected graduation the
candidate must select one of the Schools of Natural or Mathematical
Science as his Major, or principal, School; and during the
remainder of his candidacy must pursue work in that School. As
subsidiary to the principal subject thus chosen, he shall pursue
such other courses within the limits of the electives-at-large (see
below) as are deemed most important in his case by the professor
or professors in charge of his major school, and approved by the
Academic Faculty.

Each elective-at-large consists of a B Course, or of a C Course
of which the precedent B Course has been completed. After five
B Courses have been chosen in accordance with Section (1), (b),
of these regulations, the six electives-at-large required are to be
selected, (subject to the restrictions detailed in the first paragraph
of this section), from the lists of B and C Courses enumerated
pp. 157-163, and pp. 169-175, respectively.

(4) 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, (Section (3)), shall receive the title of
"Bachelor of Science in Chemistry."
