ANNOUNCEMENT OF FIVE-YEAR CURRICULUM.
In view of the impressive and growing demand from practicing engineers
and industrial leaders that Schools of Engineering should enlarge the field of
study to embrace more of the humanities and better opportunities for student
research, to the end that graduates may be better fitted to undertake their
duties as engineers and citizens, announcement is here made that the engineering
curriculum of the University of Virginia is to be enlarged from four to
five years.
In the new curriculum courses will be offered in modern languages, history,
government, sociology, philosophy and like studies, and graduate courses
will be developed in the main divisions of engineering instruction.
Under the new curriculum the B.S. degree will be awarded at the end of
four years upon satisfactory completion of the work and the specialized degrees
(C.E., Ch.E., E.E., E.M., and M.E.) at the end of the graduate year.
The entering class of 1923-24 and subsequent classes will be matriculated
under the new program, while students registered before the session of 1923
or with corresponding advanced standing will be permitted to graduate under
the present curriculum, but not later than June, 1926.
The full revised curriculum will be published later but the Freshman
courses will be the same as under the present system.
