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.
