ORGANIZATION OF INSTRUCTION.

UNDERGRADUATE COURSES.

FOUR-YEAR COURSES.

There are established at Berkeley nine colleges, in each of which there is an undergraduate curriculum of four years, leading directly, under conditions hereinafter stated, to a corresponding degree, namely:

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 Graduate Circular, 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.

Students at Large are undergraduates devoting to their studies the full time required of regular students, but pursuing purely elective courses.

Special Students are partial course students of mature age and character, admitted to courses in the University upon demonstrating to the officers in charge that they possess requisite ability and preparation.

Limited Students are partial course students to whom, for adequate reasons, less work is permitted, or assigned, than is required of regular students.

Special Students, Students at Large, and Limited Students are, by virtue of their status, not candidates for any degree.

MATRICULATION.

Applicants for admission to regular undergraduate courses must be at least sixteen years of age, must give satisfactory references concerning moral character, and must, by examination or by certifi cate, give evidence of proficiency in such of the subjects as are designated below as required for the Course and Status sought. Applicants must also appear before the University medical examiners and pass a satisfactory physical examination, to the end that the health of the University community may be safe-guarded.

GENERAL LIST OF PREPARATORY SUBJECTS.

NOTE. The normal 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 to be estimated at a lower rate than recitations and lectures.

Subject A will hereafter not be required for matriculation by a regular student, but will be required for Junior standing in all the Colleges at Berkeley. An examination in this subject will be given sometime after the beginning of each half-year. Every intrant admitted to regular first-year or second-year standing is required to take an examination in Subject A before the close of his first half-year's work; failure to take the examination in Subject A at the time required, or failure to pass, has the same effect upon the student's standing as a failure to pass in an ordinary course.

Special students, as heretofore, will be required to pass a test in oral and written expression before entering the University. This test will be conducted for each applicant by his adviser. A student who passed this test would still be required to pass Subject A if he desired promotion to Junior standing.

The dagger indicates subjects for which equivalent courses are offered in the University. For further description of these courses reference should be made to the annual Announcement of Courses.

GROUP I.

For matriculation in the Colleges of Letters, Social Sciences, Natural Sciences, Commerce; the general course in the College of Agriculture; and the five-year courses in the Colleges of Mechanics, Mining, Civil Engineering, and Chemistry: English, subject 1, 6 units; Foreign Language or Languages, Ancient or Modern, selected from subjects 6, 7, 8, 9, 15-12 units; United States History and Government, subject 5, 3 units; Mathematics, subjects 2 and 3, 6 units; Natural Science, subject 11, 12b, 12c, 12d, or 12f, 3 units; Elective, 15 units. Total, 45 units.

Students may include among their electives not more than 9 units from subjects 18, 19, 20, 21.

The candidate for admission must have chosen his preparatory subjects in such a way as to have a total of 12 units of subjects designated as "advanced," including United States History and Government, and including one of the following sciences, if taken, with laboratory work, in the third or fourth year of the high school course: Physics, Chemistry, Botany, Zoology, Physiology. Subjects which may be offered as advanced subjects are as follows: 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, 12 (excluding sciences given in the first and second years of the high school), 136, 14, 15a3, 15a, 15b3, 15b*.

SPECIAL NOTE.-The work for matriculation is so closely related to the work of the Freshman and Sophomore years in the University, that the matriculation electives cannot be intelligently chosen without reference to the requirements for the Junior Certificate.

GROUP II.

(Before 1908-09, known as Group IV.)

For matriculation in the four-year courses in the Colleges of Mechanics, Mining, Civil Engineering, and Chemistry: Subjects 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 11, 12a3, 12b, 16, 17, and any two of the following subjects: 6, 8, 14, 15a2, 15b2, 15c. Total, 4311⁄2 units.

Beginning in August, 1911, Group II will consist of 45 units, the requirement in Algebra, Subject 4a, being raised from 1% units to

3 units.

All courses taken in the University for the purpose of making up matriculation deficiencies are credited solely on the student's matriculation account, and are not credited as part of the sixty-four units required in the Lower Division for the Junior Certificate. This holds even though the student enters with forty-five units of matriculation
