Five 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 in the diploma, the Bachelor of Science in Architecture,
and the Bachelor of Science in Commerce, 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. 60 session-hours of undergraduate courses, exclusive
of Physical Education, 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 6
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. The 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 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 credits and work
for which college credit is desired.
Each applicant for a degree in the Summer Quarter must submit to
the Dean of the Summer Quarter for approval by the proper Committee
on Degrees, the program of work leading to the degree sought, not later than
April 1st of the year in which the degree is to be obtained. If the Committee
approves the program, it will be submitted to the proper faculty of
the University for recommendation to the General Faculty and will be finally
approved by the General Faculty at the meeting in June at which other
degrees are approved. Each student who expects to receive a degree at the
close of the Summer Quarter is required to leave his or her name with the
Registrar of the Summer Quarter on or before August 1st. This is necessary
in order that credits may be checked, caps and gowns ordered, diplomas engraved,
etc.
