OUTLINE OF COURSES.
The entire course of three years embraces 1000 lecture periods (or
units) 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. Of the total units, 600 are classed as obligatory and
the remaining 400 as elective. Graduation requires the completion of all the
obligatory courses (credit value 600), plus elective courses having a credit
value of at least 250 units—or a minimum required total of 850 units.
This contemplates an average of nine lecture periods (or 13½ hours)
per week during the first and second years, and eight periods (or 12 hours),
the third year. The credit value of course number 4 (see table below) is
16 units.
Each session 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.
The following tabular outline indicates the scope of the courses offered.
