Other officers by appointment.

Six degrees are offered candidates for graduation in the regular session
of the College. Two of these, the Bachelor of Arts and the Bachelor
of Science, are cultural; the Bachelor of Science in a Special Subject,
the name of which is inscribed on the diploma, the Bachelor of
Science in Architecture, the Bachelor of Science in Commerce, and
the Bachelor of Science in Medicine, are vocational degrees, designed
for those who wish to fit themselves especially for professional work.
Appropriate courses taken in the Summer Quarter count toward these
degrees.

No course offered by a successful candidate for one of the cultural
baccalaureate degrees can be offered by the same candidate as part of
the work credited toward the other cultural baccalaureate degree, nor
can any work done to remove an entrance condition be counted for any
degree.

The Summer Quarter is an integral part of the University year.
Courses in the College of Arts and Sciences as well as the Department
of Education, are the same in character and in credit value as in any
other quarter of the University. Degrees are conferred upon men and
women upon exactly the same terms for work done in the Summer
Quarter when the degree requirements are fully met. Sixty session-hours
of undergraduate courses exclusive of physical training taken in
conformity with the requirements published herewith, are required for
the Bachelor's degree. Those who contemplate completing their degree
requirements in the Summer Quarter should keep clearly in mind,
in estimating the time that will be required, that the normal amount of
credit which may be taken in one Summer Quarter is six session-hours.

Candidates for a degree who desire credit for work done at other
colleges must satisfy the entrance requirements for regular students
and must, in addition, file with the Dean of the Summer Quarter a
certificate covering the courses for which college credit is desired.
This certificate must be acceptable both to the Dean of the Summer
Quarter and to the Dean of the Department in which the degree will
be obtained. The certificate must bear the official signature of the
head of the candidate's college and must specify the character and
content of the courses passed by the candidate and must give his grade.
In every case the candidate must spend at least three full Summer
Quarters at the University in order to meet the residence requirements.

The Master's degree may be obtained by properly qualified persons
in three Summer Quarters. In no case is this degree to be conferred
upon any person who has not attended and done graduate work three
full Summer Quarters or the equivalent time in the regular session of
the University.

All persons who are looking forward ultimately to taking a degree
through summer work are urgently requested to file with the Dean of
the Summer Quarter an official statement of their entrance requirements
and work for which college credit is desired.
