All upper division courses announced by this department presuppose at least junior standing in the College of Agriculture. Students in other colleges may elect such courses in the department of agriculture as they are qualified to pursue. Honors. Students who become candidates for the bachelor's degree may be recommended for honors on the basis of the quality of the work done in the regular curriculum of the senior year or its equivalent, or on the basis of a thesis showing ability to do original work. Practice Courses-Every student is required to complete a practice course in the subject which he elects for his major study. The object of these courses is to give the student an insight into the actual practice of his chosen occupation. The practice courses consist of two general lines of work: (1) technical, instructional courses carrying 6 units credit, and (2) practical work on a farm, in a laboratory, factory, or other commercial enterprise, carrying no university credit. Students who take the latter work (2) are required to offer, in addition, 6 units chosen from any university department in order to make up the 130 units required for graduation.
