Undergraduate and graduate courses are offered in the history and the theory of education, which may serve non-professional as well as professional purposes. It is believed that such courses provide instruction which is desirable for the ends of individual culture and training and as preparation for that intelligent participation in public and private education which good citizenship demands of educated men and women. Seminar courses are intended to serve the purpose of graduate students who wish to engage in research in the field of education, and particularly those who are candidates for higher degrees. A The courses prerequisite to a major subject in the department of education are Philosophy 1 (Logic), or Zoology 1, or Physiology 1, or Political Science 1A or 1B, or Economics 1A-1B; Philosophy 2A or 2B (Psychology), and Philosophy 104A-104B (Ethics). The course in ethics may, however, be taken concurrently with work in the major subject. major in education may include one of the following courses: Jurisprud · ence 109 (School Legislation in California), Economics 142 (Contemporary Theories of Social Reform), Hygiene 101 (Child Hygiene), and Zoology 104 (Animal Behavior).
