efficacious methods for the training of candidates for honors; but no student will be required to take more than 24 units of major work in the department of his major. Departments may offer special honors courses in reading and research, with credit to be determined by the instructors in charge, according to the performance of the individual student, subject to such general restrictions as may be imposed by the department and by the Committee on Courses of Instruction. The work of the student in such an honors course may consist of additional work in connection with regular courses of instruction, or may be independent of such courses. At the beginning of each half-year the University publishes a list of all candidates for honors of at least one half-year's standing, together with a statement of their major departments. The names of such candidates are specially designated in the Catalogue of Officers and Students. Before Commencement, a department satisfies itself by means of a general final examination, or in such other manner as it may deem best, of the fitness of each candidate for honors at graduation. Candidates who, in the judgment of their departments, display marked superiority in their major subject, receive the special distinction of highest honors. The list of students upon whom honors and highest honors are conferred, with mention of their major department, appears in the annual Commencement programme. Students who satisfy the requirements for graduation with honors are subject to all regulations governing students in the upper division excepting the requirement of two years of residence. COLLEGE OF COMMERCE UNDERGRADUATE CURRICULUM The course leads to the degree of Bachelor of Science and is mainly devoted to elementary and technical studies as a broad preparation for business life. While some specialization is provided for in the senior year, those who wish to prepare for some particular commercial career are advised to extend their course beyond the usual four years. Courses covering five years have been outlined as a preparation for the work of the Certified Public Accountant, of the Actuary, for the consular service, and for railroading. These are described in the special Circular of Information of the College of Commerce. Graduation from this college, requires the completion of 124 units of college credit, of which 64 units constitutes the amount required in the University for the junior certificate. The requirements in units for the junior certificate, including the forty-five units for matriculation, are as follows: Geography (Physical and Commercial) Mathematics-matriculation subjects 2 and 3, and college courses E (or its equivalent) and 2 Military Science, Physical Education, Hygiene Total 15 6 9 14 6 10 19 109 units Concerning the following matters, the regulations of the College of Commerce are identical with those of the College of Letters and Science, as set forth in earlier pages of this circular: method of computing units of credit; surplus matriculation credit; scope of examination tests in subjects A and B; courses which may be credited in satisfaction of degree requirements in natural science. For students who in any half-year complete a five-unit lower division course in foreign language, the prescription in foreign language is reduced by one (1) unit for each five-unit course so taken. Honorable mention with the junior certificate qualifies a student to become a candidate for honors in the upper division. The list of students who receive honorable mention with the junior certificate is published, and is sent to members of the faculty and to prospective students of the junior class. A student whose name appears upon this list, unless he prefer not to enter for honors, should, at the beginning of his junior year, and at the beginning of each half-year thereafter, so long as he remains in the honors group, report immediately to the secretary of the department of economies, who will advise him in the choice of his studies and will specifically approve all courses taken in the depart ment. At least two years of residence are required after receiving the junior certificate. This rule may, in exceptional cases, be set aside; but only on condition that the student devote more than four years to the completion of the undergraduate curriculum. The requirements for graduation, in addition to those for the junior certificate, are: (a) Eleven units specifically required of all students, namely: Statistics (Economics 140).... Accounting (Economics 14). Economic History (Economics 110). 3 3 3 2 (b) Twelve units, covering at least four different subjects in applied economics, other than the above, such as money, banking, insurance, transportation, tariff, finance, labor problems, business organization, etc. (c) Nine units of advanced work in some one of the subjects begun under provisions (a) and (b) above. Where the arrangement of courses is such as to make it possible, the additional specific requirements for graduation (in excess of those required for the junior certificate) may be satisfied by work done before taking the junior certificate, thus increasing the opportunity for specialized elective work in the upper division. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE1 Matriculation Requirement-Group III The College of Agriculture offers a series of subjects which, taken collectively, embrace the whole theory of agriculture and the technique of agricultural practice and investigation. The fundamental studies in English, mathematics, foreign languages, history or economics, and natural sciences, which were not completed in the high school, also such advanced work in these and other branches as the student elects, are taken in other departments of the University. At the same time students in other colleges may elect such subjects in the agricultural department as they are qualified to pursue. The requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science in the College of Agriculture are four years of residence and 130 units of study. Ordinarily 72 units will be completed during the freshman and sophomore years, 6 units during the six weeks summer practice course, and 52 units during the junior and senior years. High school physics is a prerequisite for Physics 2a in the University. Students in the College of Agriculture without credit for matriculation physics must plan to take the equivalent course in the summer session. The following programme illustrates the order in which the first two years' work may be taken: 1 The statements in pp. 122-125 refer to curricula in the College of Agriculture other than that in Forest Utilization. For curriculum in Forest Utilization see p. 125. † Students with matriculation credit in these subjects need not register for them. (1) Including matriculation units, all students must complete as soon as possible, and before graduation, English, 12 units, and pass an examination in Subject A; mathematics, including trigonometry, 12 units; foreign language, 12 units, and pass an examination in Subject B; history or economics, 9 units; mechanical drawing and surveying. If the student enters with a minimum matriculation requirement of 6 units in English, 6 in mathematics, 6 in foreign language, and 3 in history, he must complete in the University 6 units in English, 6 in mathematics, 6 in foreign language, 3 in economics, and 3 additional in economics or history. These subjects he will ordinarily take during his freshman and sophomore years. For students who in any half-year complete a five-unit lower division course in mathematics, the prescription in mathematics is reduced by one (1) unit for each five-unit course so taken. For students who in any half-year complete a five-unit lower division course in foreign language, the prescription in foreign language is reduced by one (1) unit for each five-unit course so taken. (2) Summer class in special work connected with proposed major subject must be taken before beginning the junior year. This course is six weeks in length. Work is carried on as far as possible, just as in actual practice; 6 units credit. The courses usually begin immediately following Commencement. Prerequisite: completion of two years of study in a university or college course in agriculture. Women may offer in lieu of the summer practice six units of approved work in the summer session. (3) Courses of instruction should be chosen primarily with reference to the major subjects. Beginning with his sophomore year, the student will indicate on his study-list card, each half-year, the number (as given C. E. 1E may be taken either half-year, hence optional units vary depending on half-year this subject is taken. |
