The requirements for graduation, in addition to those for the junior The technical subjects are distributed as follows: (a) Eleven units specifically required of all students, namely: Statistics (Economics 110A) Accounting (Economics 14) Economic History (Economics 101) Trade Journals (Economics 127A-127B) 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 AGRICULTURE 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 COURSES OF STUDY 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 64 units will be completed during the freshman and sophomore years, 6 units during the six weeks summer practice course and 60 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. FRESHMAN AND SOPHOMORE YEARS All students must register for the following: * 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 has entered with the minimum matriculation requirements of six units of English, mathematics and foreign language and three units of history, he must complete in the University, 6 units of English, mathematics, foreign language and economics.* These subjects he will ordinarily take during his freshman and sophomore years. (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 begin usually 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 below) of the major subject or subjects which he proposes to study. For a clear understanding of what studies the major subjects include, the student should consult the courses of study outlined for the various C. E. 1E may be taken either half-year, hence optional units vary depending on half-year this subject is taken. * Three units may be in history. major subjects in the Prospectus of the College of Agriculture and in the Announcement of Courses. The major subjects in agriculture and their respective specific requirements are as follows: I. Agricultural Chemistry. II. Agricultural Education. III. Agronomy. IV. Animal Husbandry. V. Citriculture. VIII. Forestry. IX. Irrigation. X. Landscape Gardening and Floriculture. XI. Nutrition. XII. Parasitology. XIII. Plant Pathology. XIV. Pomology. XV. Poultry Husbandry. XVI.

Geology 1A, one half-year. Mathematics C, one half-year. Zoology 1A, one half-year. Agricultural Chemistry 1 and 2, one half-year. Genetics 1, one half-year. Plant Propagation 1, one half-year. Soil Technology 1, one half-year. JUNIOR AND SENIOR YEARS Among the sixty units of work normally taken in the junior and senior years there must be thirty-six units in major courses, as follows: The work must be carried on under the direction of the head of the division in which the major subject is taken and all junior and senior study-lists must be approved by him before presentation for signature by the Dean or Secretary. The Department of Agriculture is authorized to adjust study-cards of junior and senior students in the College of Agriculture, when the total number of hours per week exceeds the regular maximum (16 units), by reason of the policy of the department in eliminating courses below a three-unit value. Thesis work will be arranged with an instructor in the major subject. The student will submit his plan of thesis work to the Dean of the College at the beginning of the senior year and upon approval by the Dean shall file his thesis card with the secretary of the department. For further procedure follow the rules governing theses as stated on a later page of this circular. One hundred and thirty units and four years of residence are required for graduation. |
