CLASSIFICATION OF UNDERGRADUATE COURSES.

Undergraduate courses are classified as:

(a) Lower Division Courses.

(b) Upper Division Courses.

And in the Upper Division as: (a) Major Courses.

(b) Free-elective Courses in the Upper Division.

(a) A prescribed course is one that is required specifically or as an alternative by the curriculum for graduation in any particular college.

(b) An Upper Division course is one that is normally open only to students of the Upper Division, and to which the Junior Certificate is normally prerequisite. An Upper Division course taken by a Lower Division student is, for that student, a Lower Division

course.

(c) A Major course is an Upper Division course of advanced work in a department of study that has been pursued in the Lower Division, or of elementary work in a subject of such difficulty as to require the maturity of Upper Division students. Such courses will hereafter, for the sake of uniformity, be listed as major courses.

(d) A free-elective course in the Lower Division is any course that is not prescribed. A free-elective course in the Upper Division is a course for which the Junior Certificate is normally prerequisite, and which does not demand necessarily any elementary knowledge of the subject. All Lower Division courses may be taken as free elective in the Upper Division so far as other regulations permit.

In the Colleges of Mechanics, Mining, Civil Engineering, and Chemistry there are also courses of five years, leading, as do the four-year courses, to the degree of Bachelor of Science, but providing a broader cultural and professional training than is possible

in the four-year courses. In the five-year course in Mining, provision is made for specialization, either in (1) mining engineering, or (2) metallurgy, or (3) geology.

OTHER COURSES AT BERKELEY.

The work of the first two years of the College of Medicine is given at Berkeley; the work of the last two years is given at the Affiliated Colleges, in San Francisco.

There are permitted, in addition, Courses at Large and Partial Courses, not leading directly to any degree, but through each of which, by compliance with the conditions upon which it is conferred, a degree is possibly obtainable.

The University has no preparatory department.

THE GRADUATE DEPARTMENT.

For information concerning the admission and classification of graduate students, see the circular of the Graduate Department, issued April, 1908.

STATUS OF STUDENTS.

In respect to status, students are classified as graduate and undergraduate; and undergraduates as regular students, students at large, and partial course students, the last being further classified as special students and limited students.

Graduate Students are such graduates of the University or of other institutions empowered to confer like degrees on an equivalent basis, as are pursuing advanced or special studies under the direction of a Faculty. Such students may or may not be candidates for degrees. For further information, see circular of the Graduate Department, issued April, 1908.

Regular Students are those undergraduates who have complied with the requirements for matriculation, and who pursue, or are entitled to pursue, the established curriculum of a college.
