BACHELOR OF ARTS.
The degree of Bachelor of Arts of the University of Virginia is conferred
upon the candidate who has completed the work of thirteen courses
in accordance with the regulations given below.
Regulations Concerning the Bachelor of Arts Degree.
(1) Selection and Number of Courses.
Unless admitted to advanced standing (p. 80), the candidate must
select the required thirteen courses as follows:
(a) A Courses: The candidate must complete the work of English Literature
1A, Mathematics 1A; and either Latin 1A, or Greek 2A.(b) B Courses: The candidate must complete eight B Courses selected
from the six groups given above (p. 157) as follows; two B Courses
must be selected from Group I. and one of these must be either
Latin 2B or Greek 3B; one B Course must be selected from Group
II; two from Group III; one from Group IV, one from Group V,
and one from Group VI.(c) B or C Courses: The candidate must complete the work of two
courses selected from the electives-at-large in accordance with Section
(3), below, of these regulations. [See also Section (4)].
First-Year Students receiving no advanced standing should take
English Literature 1A. Mathematics 1A, Latin 1A (or some other
foreign language), and a Natural Science (or Greek 2A, if both
Latin and Greek are selected from Group 1).
(2) Time Required for Obtaining B. A. Degree.
All undergraduates, except first-year students who enter without
advanced standing (Section (1) above), are required to undertake
the work of three courses each session; and of only three, unless
normally required for obtaining the degree of Bachelor of Arts by
the candidate who enters without advanced standing is four years.
(See also Section (4), (b), below.)
The candidate who enters with advanced standing from another
college (p. 80) must devote at least one full session exclusively to
collegiate work here, and must complete the work of at least three
of the required B Courses in this college (Section (1) ). The
programme of studies offered by such candidate must satisfy all
the requirements of the B. A. degree as here established.
(3) Elective-at-large, and Major Group.
Each elective-at-large consists of a B Course, or a C Course of
which the precedent B Course has been completed. After having
selected eight B Courses in accordance with Section (1), (b), of
these regulations, the candidate may offer as an elective-at-large
any B Course, not already selected, described under the head of
academic schools, pp. 116-155; or any C Course, of which the precedent
B Course has been completed, described under the head of the
academic schools, pp. 116-155.
But in every case the two electives-at-large must be selected from
the subjects of some one of the six groups (p. 157); and this group
is to be known as the candidate's Major Group.
(4) Substitutions Allowed for Electives-at-large.
(a) The candidate who offers both B Latin and B Greek from
Group I (p. 157) is required to offer only the elective-at-large
(Section (1), (c) ).
(b) The candidate who has satisfied the requirements of Section (1),
(a) and (b), of these regulations, will be permitted to offer in lieu
of the two elective-at-large (Section (1), (c) ), the work of the
first year in the Department of Law, or of Medicine, or any three
technical courses in the Department of Engineering.
Thus the candidate who desires to obtain both the B. A. degree and
a professional degree may save about one year of the time required
for both degrees.
