It will be quite possible, though perhaps not often desirable, for a student who is enrolled as a candidate for honors in one department to be transferred to another. In order to make such a change, it will be necessary for him to secure the consent of the department to which he desires to be transferred. If, therefore, at the beginning of his junior year a student who is eligible for candidacy has not yet finally determined upon his major subject, he should enroll with the department to which he is most inclined at the time, understanding that at the beginning of any subsequent term he may make a change in accordance with the conditions just stated.

Before Commencement, a department satisfies itself by means of a general final examination, or in such other manner as it may deem best, of the fitness of each candidate for honors at graduation. Candidates who, in the judgment of their departments, display marked superiority in their major subject receive the special distinction of highest honors. The list of students upon whom honors and highest honors are conferred, with mention of their major department, appears in the annual Commencement programme.

COLLEGE OF COMMERCE

UNDERGRADUATE CURRICULUM

The course leads to the degree of Bachelor of Science and is mainly devoted to elementary and technical studies as a broad preparation for business life. While some specialization is provided for in the senior year, those who wish to prepare for some particular commercial career are advised to extend their course beyond the usual four years. Courses have been outlined as a preparation for the work of the certified public accountant, of the actuary, for the consular service, for banking, for the real estate business, and for railroading. Graduation from this college requires the completion of 124 units of college credit (with 124 grade points), of which 64 units constitute the amount required in the University for the junior certificate.

The requirements for the junior certificate are as follows:

English Composition: Subject A. Examination required of all.* Foreign Languages: students must pass an examination designed to test their ability to read one of the following languages: Greek, Latin, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Japanese, or Chinese.

* An examination in Subject A: English Composition is required of all undergrad uate intrants at the time of their first registration in the University. Date of next examination, Saturday, August 13, 1921, 2 p.m. For further regulations concerning Subject A see General Regulations of the Faculties.

Courses in physics and chemistry taken in high school may be applied toward the satisfaction of the science requirement.

Mathematics 1 is prerequisite to Mathematics 2. For Mathematics 1 elementary algebra is necessary and at least a first course in algebraic theory is strongly recommended. (Algebraic theory will not be given at the University except in the Summer Session. This course with elementary algebra and plane geometry should be taken in high school.)

The specified work in history, political science, geography, economics, advanced algebra, and in the mathematical theory of investment must be taken in college. Students are warned that college courses are advanced in character, and they are earnestly advised to lay a solid foundation in high school for their college work.

The requirements for graduation, in addition to those for the junior certificate, may be summarized as follows:

[blocks in formation]

The technical subjects are distributed as follows:

(a) Ten units specifically required of all students, namely:

Statistics (Economics 140)

Accounting (Economics 14A)

Economic History (Economics 10 or 11)

Units

(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, trade, 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.

Honors. Students whose work has been of marked excellence during their first three years may offer themselves as candidates for honors at graduation in the College of Commerce. Students who intend to try for honors should notify the Dean early in their senior year, and should arrange a programme in consultation with him and with the professor in whose field they desire to specialize.

COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE†

The prospective student should consult the requirements and recommendations for matriculation, as stated on page 22. Failure to take the proper subjects in high school may delay graduation.

More detailed information concerning instruction in the College of Agriculture than is given below is contained in the Prospectus of the College of Agriculture. This may be obtained by applying to the Dean of the College of Agriculture, Berkeley, California.

Requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of SCIENCE

(1) Four years of residence.

(2) One hundred and thirty semester units of university work (with 130 grade points), in addition to matriculation and in addition to Subject A. These 130 units must be chosen in accordance with the provisions set forth hereinafter. Ordinarily at least 64 units will be completed

†The statements in pages 41-44 refer to the curricula in the College of Agriculture other than in Forest Utilization. For the curriculum in Forest Utilization see page 45.

An examination in Subject A, English Composition, is required of all undergraduate intrants at the time of their first registration in the University. Date of next examination, Saturday, August 13, 1921, 2 p.m. For further regulations concerning Subject A see General Regulations of the Faculties.

during the freshman and sophomore years, 6 units during the six weeks' summer practice course, and at least 60 units during the junior and senior years.

(3) Including work presented for matriculation,† all students must have completed-ordinarily before the end of the sophomore year-English, 12 units; mathematics, including trigonometry, 12 units; physics, 3 units; history or economics, 9 units. Students without credit for matriculation physics may take the equivalent course in the summer session; or they may take Physics 24 in the first half-year provided they have credit in trigonometry or are taking it concurrently. If the student has entered with two years each of English and mathematics and one year of history, he must complete in the University six units each of English, mathematics, and history or economics.

(4) A summer course in special work connected with the proposed major subject. This course is taken immediately before or immediately following the junior year as may be arranged by the adviser in the major subject concerned. The course is six weeks in length; credit, 6 units. Information concerning the summer practice work may be obtained from the major subject adviser. Students in certain major subjects may offer practical experience in lieu of the summer practice course, but no credit in units will be granted for the practice course in such cases. Such substitution must be approved by the major subject adviser.

(5) The following courses must be completed before graduation:

[blocks in formation]

And two or more of the following four subjects, according to the requirements of the major subject chosen by the student:

[blocks in formation]

One year of high school work in a given subject is here counted as the equivalent of three units of university work.

Students with matriculation credit in these subjects are not required to complete these courses.

(6) Among the sixty units of work normally taken in the junior and senior years there must be 36 units in upper division courses (i.e., those numbered 100 to 199), at least 26 units of which must be in the Department of Agriculture.

FRESHMAN YEAR

During the freshman year the following schedule will normally be followed; but for those who upon entrance to the University have definitely selected their major subject this programme may be modified with the approval of the major subject adviser. It is not necessary for students to choose the major subject in the freshman year, but they may do so.
