Combined Academic and Medical Course.-Students in the College of Letters and Science who have completed a full year of work in the upper division, and who have satisfied all requirements for matriculation in the Medical School as stated above, may, at the beginning of their fourth or senior year in the College of Letters and Science, register also as students in the Medical School, and, upon completion of the first year in the Medical School, may receive the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Students who enter the Medical School in accordance with the foregoing provisions will be expected to have completed 94 units of university work in the academic departments, including such work in major courses (normally 18 units during the junior year) as may be acceptable to the faculty of the College of Letters and Science. The State law governing the practice of medicine in California prescribes that every person before practicing medicine or surgery must produce satisfactory testimonials of good moral character and a diploma issued by some legally chartered medical school, the requirements of which shall have been at the time of granting such diploma in no particular less than those prescribed by the laws of the State, and which shall have received the approval of the Board of Medical Examiners that year.

PREMEDICAL CURRICULA College course, three years*; medical course, five years. The tabulation herewith shows the arrangement of studies to be followed by a typical student. Certain variations not shown in the chronological tabulation may be made with the approval of the study-list officers. If a student is a candidate for the degree A.B. as well as the degree M.D., he pursues three years of academic work as outlined, and substitutes the first year of the medical curriculum for the fourth or senior year of work in the College of Letters and Science. He will be expected to complete 94 units during the first three years in the College of Letters and Science. A. Academic Pre-medical Coursc-three years. This assumes that the following subjects have been completed in high school: English, three years; foreign language (French or German), two years; history, one year; mathematics, two years; chemistry, one year; and physics, one year. *For information regarding the two-year pre medical course, see note following tabulation on p. 55. NOTE. The above arrangement is the one recommended by the Medical School. It is possible, although considered less desirable, to complete the pre-medical requirements in two years by making all of the following changes in the order of subjects: (a) Zoology 1A-1в may be taken in the first year and English or Public Speaking 1A-1B in the second year. (b) Embryology (Zoology 108) may be taken in the first half of the second † An examination in Subject A: English Composition is required of all intrants at the time of their first registration in the University. Date of next examination: Saturday, August 16, 1919, 2 p.m. For further regulations concerning Subject A, see General Regulations of the Faculties. year. (c) Electives in the first two years may be reduced to a total of 7 units.

CURRICULA IN PUBLIC HEALTH There are three curricula in public health, designated by the letters A, B, and C. Curriculum A is intended for general students in public health; curriculum B is intended for students holding the degree of Bachelor of Science from the College of Civil Engineering; curriculum C is intended for students of medicine and may be substituted for the second half of the fourth year, and fifth, or interne, year, in the Medical School, without affecting candidacy for the degree of Doctor of Medicine. While enrolled in the Medical School, students in the Public Health course are subject to the usual fee of $75 per half-year. For completion of any of these curricula the degree of Graduate in Public Health (Gr.P.H.) is conferred. With the permission of the Committee on Public Health Study-Lists, courses may be substituted for those shown in the following curricula to the extent of not more than six units in any half-year. CURRICULUM A A four-year course, three years in the College of Letters and Science, and one year in the Medical School. Requirements for admission to the course.-Junior standing (64 units) or evidence of an equivalent preparation; a reading knowledge of French or German; matriculation physics; Chemistry 1A-1B; Bacteriology 1; Zoology 1A. The student is advised to avoid strict specialization in science and to devote his elective units as far as practicable to subjects of general culture. The following courses, however, should be completed: Chemistry 8 and 9; Economics 1A-1B. In order to satisfy the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts based on the first two years of this curriculum, the student must complete at least thirty units selected from the following list of courses. The thirty units must be distributed among the subjects as indicated.
