LIST OF PREPARATORY SUBJECTS Units of Credit.-The 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. Laboratory hours not requiring preparation are estimated at a lower rate than recitations and lectures. The dagger indicates subjects for which equivalent courses are offered in the Academic Departments of the University. For further description of these courses reference should be made to the annual Announcement of Courses. Subjects 6ab1, 15a1, 15b1, and 15c1 represent the minimum credit in Latin, French, German and Spanish, respectively-one year of high school work. Such credit is ordinarily given only upon recommendation, not upon examination. MATRICULATION GROUP I While students are admitted to the College of Dentistry, as stated above, without specific prescription of preparatory subjects, excepting physics or chemistry, the high school studies should, if possible, be planned in accordance with matriculation group I of the academic colleges, as follows: Any one of, or any combination from, the following: Latin (6)†, Greek (8), French (15a), German (15b), HISTORY, one year 3 U. S. (5), or Ancient (10), or Medieval and Modern (13a), or English (13b). NATURAL SCIENCE (taken with laboratory work in classes of third 3 and fourth-year pupils), one year Physics (11), or Chemistry (12b)†, or Botany (12c), or ADDITIONAL Any one of, or any combination from, the following: Additional foreign language, ancient or modern (6, 7, 8, Additional laboratory science taken in classes of third- ELECTIVE (These may include not more than 9 units chosen from subjects 18 to 21 and high school subjects not listed by the University.) Total 6 15 45 units The candidate for admission must have chosen his preparatory subjects in such a way as to have a total of 12 units of "advanced" subjects. Advanced subjects are as follows: 4a1, 4a2, 4b, 5, 7, 9, 11, 12 (excluding sciences given in the first and second years of the high school), 13b, 14, 15a3, 15a*, 15b3, 15b1, 15c3, 15c1. The numbers in parentheses refer to the matriculation subjects listed on a preceding page; for example, 2 is plane geometry. †The University does not offer courses equivalent to subject 6 (elementary Latin). This subject must be taken in the high school, if at all. Elementary physics and elementary chemistry are offered in the summer session of the University, but not in the fall or spring sessions. ADMISSION FROM SCHOOLS OUTSIDE OF CALIFORNIA Students who desire to matriculate from states other than California will be accepted upon presenting an admission certificate from any of the dental schools holding membership in the Dental Faculties Association of American Universities. The schools holding membership in this association are: Harvard University Dental School, University of Pennsylvania School of Dentistry, University of Michigan School of Dentistry, University of Iowa School of Dentistry, University of Minnesota School of Dentistry, University of California College of Dentistry, Washington University Dental School, University of Illinois College of Dentistry, and Ohio State University College of Dentistry. Students may be admitted to advanced standing from other dental schools (1) upon presenting a certificate issued by the Committee on Credentials at Berkeley showing that the applicant has had scholastic preparation equivalent to that demanded for admission to the University of California; and (2) on presenting credentials for the first or second year's work, which must be approved by the faculty of the College of Dentistry. SUMMER SESSION COURSES At present there is opportunity during the Summer Session for students to do systematic work in preparation for matriculation in the following courses: Chemistry A, the equivalent of matriculation subject 12b. Drawing CD, the equivalent of matriculation subject 17. (Instrumental Drawing.) French A, the equivalent of matriculation subject 15a1. German A, the equivalent of matriculation subject 15b1. German B, the equivalent of matriculation subject 15b3. Graphic Art A, the equivalent of matriculation subject 16. (Free-hand Drawing.) Credit only upon passing examination. Mathematics A, the equivalent of matriculation subject 4a'. (Algebraic Theory, I.) Mathematics F, the equivalent of matriculation subject 4a2. (Algebraic Theory, II.) Mathematics B, the equivalent of matriculation subject 4b. (Solid Geometry.) Mathematics C, the equivalent of matriculation subject 12a2. (Trigonometry.) Physics A, the equivalent of matriculation subject 11. FOUR-YEAR COURSE Beginning with the session of 1917-18, the course of study was changed from three years of thirty-two weeks each to four years of thirty-two weeks each. The calendar for 1918-19 has ben arranged so that the labor conditions at present will be more fully satisfied by making the vacation period correspond to the need for unskilled labor which the students may supply. The early seasons in horticulture and agriculture happily approximate the long vacation periods, so that students who are obliged to devote this time to revenue-producing labor usually have no difficulty in obtaining employment. FURTHER INFORMATION For further information concerning the preparatory subjects, matriculation examinations, admission to advanced standing and the requirements for the Junior Certificate and the Bachelor's Degree refer to the Circular of Information concerning the Academic Departments, copies of which may be obtained from the Recorder of the Faculties, University of California, Berkeley, California. FOREIGN STUDENTS Students desiring to matriculate in this college from foreign countries will be permitted to substitute satisfactory courses in history, law, language and literature in lieu of similar preliminary requirements offered by high schools accredited to the University of California. A knowledge of English sufficient to comprehend the course of study will be required, in all cases to be determined by the official examiner. ADMISSION TO ADVANCED GRADES ON CERTIFICATES The college will receive into the advanced grades of second year and third year only such students as hold certificates of having passed examinations in the studies of the first-year or second-year grades respectively in a school which demands the same or higher preliminary educational requirements and maintains the same curriculum; except that a student who presents satisfactory evidence of graduation from a reputable medical college may be given such advanced standing as his previous training may justify, provided he make up the prescribed subjects in which he may be deficient. All students who have successfully passed their examinations for advanced standing and have complied with all the rules of the College of Dentistry shall have their reports given or mailed to them within thirty days after such examinations shall have been completed, such reports to be pledges to any college to whom the holders may apply that the requisite number of terms have been spent in the College of Dentistry, University of California. THE MASTER'S DEGREE Bachelors of Art or Sciences of this University who are pursuing regular courses leading to a degree in the College of Dentistry may receive a master's degree (M.A. or M.S.) under the following conditions: (a) The candidate must have finished creditably two years in the curriculum of the professional college. (b) He must have received credit, in addition to his work for the professional degree, for eight semester units of graduate work, including a thesis, and such graduate work must be approved by the Graduate Council. EXTRACTS FROM REGULATIONS The following are the regulations governing undergraduate attendance, except such as are given elsewhere in this announcement. ATTENDANCE Eighty per cent of attendance will be required in all lecture and laboratory courses, as well as in general attendance. Every student is required to attend all his class exercises and to satisfy the instructor in each of his courses of study, in such a way as the instructor may determine, that he is performing the work of the course in a systematic manner. Any instructor, with the approval of the Dean, may at any time exclude from his course any student who, in his judgment, has neglected the work of the course. Any student thus excluded shall be recorded as having failed in the course of study from which he is excluded, unless the faculty shall otherwise determine. |
