Failure to take the examination in subject A at the time required, or failure to pass, has the same effect upon the student's standing as a failure to pass in an ordinary course. Subject B.-All students who are candidates for degrees to be conferred on the junior certificate plan in or after May, 1917, will be subject without alternative to the requirements stated hereunder. Students who receive their degrees on the junior certificate plan not later than December, 1916, will also be subject to these requirements unless they have, before graduation, either matriculation or college credit for six units of French, German, or Spanish, in which case subject B as herein described will not be required. (a) For the Junior Certificate.—The junior certificate will be granted only to such candidates as shall demonstrate their ability to read intelligently a piece of ordinary prose in French, German, Greek, Italian, Latin, or Spanish, and to render it into good English. This requirement, like subject A, is not to be satisfied by the mere completion of courses or units; it may be satisfied only by passing an examination set by a university committee. This requirement is known as "Subject B." The examination is held every half-year, shortly after the beginning o instruction. (b) For the Major Subject.-Each department is authorized to require of students who wish to select a major subject in that department, in addition to the specific prerequisites to that major subject, a reading knowledge of one of the foreign languages mentioned in the preceding paragraph. Individual instructors may make such further language requirements for specific courses as they deem wise, but such requirements shall be explicitly stated in the Announcement of Courses. Selection of Major Subject.—Students will be required through the Office of the Recorder of the Faculties to give notice to the department in which they wish to select a major subject, ordinarily by the end of the sophomore year, and in no case later than the end of the junior year. A change of major subject may be made with the consent of the department to which the student desires to change. A department or group of departments may, with the approval of the Committee on Courses of Instruction, make requirements in collateral subjects preparatory to a major subject. All matriculation deficiencies must be removed before the student leaves the lower division. Students who do not take military science, physical education, or hygiene must make up the deficiency in hours in other departments of study. The requirements for the junior certificate in the College of Letters and Science and in the College of Commerce may be summarized as follows: SUMMARY OF REQUIREMENTS FOR THE JUNIOR CERTIFICATE, INCLUDING REQUIREMENTS FOR MATRICULATION Units of Credit.-In this table the normal amount of work represented both by preparatory or high school subjects, and by the University courses, is specified quantitatively. In the University a unit signifies one hour per week of recitation or lecture, with preparation therefor, during one half-year. A course of study taken in the preparatory school for one year at five periods per week is valued at 3 units. Work in laboratory or field, or other work not requiring out-of-class preparation, is estimated at a lower rate than recitations and lectures. [The requirements are stated in "units;" see above for explanation.] Any one, or any combination, of the following: Additional Foreign Language, Intermediate or Advanced Any electives Electives (subjects 4-17) "Advanced" subjects Total 6 6 9 [12] 451 UNITS FOR JUNIOR CERTIFICATE, INCLUDING MATRICULATION FOOTNOTES TO TABLE 1. Matriculation. The candidate for admission must have chosen his 45 units in such a way as to have a total of 12 units of subjects designated as "advanced," including one of the following sciences, if taken with laboratory work, in the third or fourth year of the high school course: physics, chemistry, botany, zoology, physiology. Students who enter the University without the required work in science may remove this deficiency only by taking additional work in science after admission; a matriculation deficiency in chemistry or physics can be made up in the University only during the summer session. The preparatory subjects listed as "advanced" are 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, 12 (excluding the sciences of the first and second years of the high school), 13b, 14, 15a3, 15a1, 15b3, 15b4, 15c3, 15c4. Of foreign language (Greek, Latin, German, etc.) the student must have credit for 12 units, unless he has credit also for intermediate or advanced mathematics or surplus advanced science, in which case not to exceed 6 units of such work in science or mathematics or a combination of the two may be substituted for an equal amount of foreign language. Applicants who expect to take up courses of study presupposing a knowledge of the elements of physics or chemistry, with laboratory practice (matriculation subjects 11, 12b), should take this work either during the high school course or during the university summer sessions. No equivalent for this work is offered during the regular sessions of the University. Applicants for courses of study requiring matriculation Latin, subject 6, should notice that the University does not offer instruction in this subject in any session. See Recommendations for the Various Curricula, under Admission Requirements, above. 2. College of Letters and Science-Plan A.-The requirements in mathematics and logic are as follows: A total of 12 units in mathematics, or in mathematics and logic, with the following restrictions: there must be a minimum of 6 units of mathematics for matriculation (subjects 2, 3); those who enter the University with but 6 units of mathematics must complete the required 12 units by taking either 6 units in mathematics alone, or 6 units in logic alone; those who bring more than 6 and less than 12 units of mathematics for matriculation may complete the required 12 units either in mathematics, or in logic, or in a combination of the two. 3. College of Letters and Science-Plan B.-Students in this group must have credit for 12 units in mathematics, without alternative for any part thereof. 4. Prescribed Natural Science.-The prescribed work in science taken in college must be chosen from the following fundamental courses. Laboratory courses are indicated by an asterisk (*) following the number of the course: Agricultural Chemistry 1. Astronomy 1, 2A-2E*, 5, 11. Botany 1A-1B, 2*, 3*. Chemistry 1c, 1D or 1E, if no further courses in chemistry be taken. courses in fulfillment of the science prescription for the junior Entomology 1, 3, 4*, 5*, 6, 23*, 27. Forestry 1, 2*. Genetics 1*. Geography 1A, 1B, 3. Geology 1A, 1B. Mineralogy 1A*, 1в*. Palaeontology 1, 2. Pathology 1 (Bacteriology). Physics 1A-1в*, 2A-2B, 2C-2D*, 4A-4B, 3A-3B*, and (by special ar rangement) 18*. Physiology 1*, 2*, 5*. Zoology 1A, 1в*, 10. Students in the College of Letters and Science who pursue the regular technical Course in Architecture may substitute Drawing 2A-2B, 6 units, for an equivalent number of units of science in fulfillment of junior certificate requirements. All references in these notes to specific courses of instruction apply to the courses as designated in the Announcement of Courses for 1915-16. 5. College of Commerce.-History, etc., must include: economic geography, 3 units; economic theory, 6 units; history and political science, 15 units. Mathematics must include college courses 2A and 2B. Natural science must include physical geography, 3 units. 6. Courses in foreign language given in the University at the rate of 5 units per half-year will be credited as 6 units toward the foreign language minimum, but only as 5 units toward the total matriculation requirement of 45 units or the junior certificate requirement of 64 units. Junior certificate on the old plan.-The requirements for the junior certificate in the College of Letters and Science, as herein given, are compulsory for all candidates for the junior certificate in this college to be conferred May, 1917, or later; that is, for all candidates for the degree Bachelor of Arts to be conferred May, 1919, or later. Students graduating earlier than May, 1919, may complete junior certificate requirements either according to the old plan or according to the plan herein announced, provided the plan selected be followed as a whole. The old plan was last published in the Circular of Information, August, 1914. It will be noticed that the new plan demands 6 units of laboratory work in science either matriculation work or college work, or both. Medical School. For matriculation in the Medical School-the five years' course leading to M.D.-the student is required to obtain the junior certificate in the College of Letters and Science, or to present evidence of an equivalent preparation. He must also give evidence of sufficient training in physics, chemistry and biology to enable him to pursue with profit the curriculum of the school and must possess a reading knowledge of French or German. The following courses now offered represent the minimum of satisfactory preparation in the sciences named (numbers refer to the Announcement of Courses for 1915-16): Physics 2A-2B, and 3B or 4B; Chemistry 1A-1B, 8A-8B, 9; Zoology 1a, 5. By a resolution of the Academic Senate, the faculty of the Medical School is authorized to refuse admission to applicants with a low record in the required academic subjects. Combined Academic and Medical Course.-Students in the College of Letters and Science who have received the junior certificate, and who, in addition to the work for the junior certificate, have completed a full year of work in the upper division, may, at the beginning of their fourth or senior year in the University, register as students in the Medical School, and, upon completion of the first year in the Medical School, may receive the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Students who enter the Medical School in accordance with the foregoing provisions will be expected normally to have completed 94 units of university work in the academic departments, including such work in major courses (normally 18 units during the junior year) as may be acceptable to the faculty of the College of Letters and Science. The State law governing the practice of medicine in California prescribes that every person before practicing medicine or surgery must produce satisfactory testimonials of good moral character and a diploma issued by some legally chartered medical school, the requirements of which shall |
