COURSES IN ELEMENTARY EDUCATION

Students who have completed two years of work in a standard Teachers'
College or equivalent, thus qualifying for the Normal Professional Certificate as
issued by the Virginia State Board of Education, may meet the requirements for
the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education, with a major in Elementary
Education, so far as professional courses are concerned by taking such courses
from those listed as the Dean of the Department of Education may specify.
Ordinarily six session-hours of credit in professional courses in Elementary
Education offered in this University will be required. Exceptions to this may be
made in the case of students who have already accumulated credits representing
well rounded preparation for elementary school work. Qualified students may
take one graduate course in meeting the requirements. It should be clearly
understood that students expecting to major in Elementary Education should
have already obtained credit for Practice Teaching and for such courses in
Public School Music, Fine and Industrial Arts and Physical Education, as are
required of elementary teachers by the Virginia State Board of Education under
present certificate requirements. Students who do not have credit for such
courses may take any or all of them in the Summer Quarter of the University.
