COLLEGIATE

The Collegiate certificate is issued to the holder of a baccalaureate degree
conferred by a standard university, teachers college, arts college, or technical
college, who has at least one session hour's credit in school and community
hygiene, including the physical inspection of school children.

The holder is permitted to teach all subjects in the elementary schools, and
in the high schools those subjects in which he has six session hours' credit.

Note.—After 1935 Collegiate certificates, in addition to being endorsed for
teaching given subjects in the high schools, will be endorsed for teaching in only
the sixth and seventh grades of the elementary schools, except that the certificates
of those who have taken appropriate courses in elementary education will
be endorsed for teaching all subjects in the elementary grades.

This certificate is issued as a four-year non-renewable license, but may be
converted to the Collegiate Professional on presentation of evidence of three
years' successful teaching experience and appropriate credits in education or
teacher-training subjects.

Collegiate certificates issued under former regulations for a period of seven
years are subject to renewal as Collegiate certificates for similar periods.

Science.—Applicants who satisfy all other requirements and present credit
for twelve session hours' work distributed equally among not more than three
sciences may teach the sciences for which credit is presented. If, however, credit
is presented for four session hours' work each in biology, chemistry, and physics,
the applicant may teach all branches of science offered in the high schools.
