GENERAL INFORMATIONHISTORY OF THE COLLEGE
In 1863, eighteen years after the Christian Brothers first came
to the United States, the development of Catholic education in the
Diocese of Philadelphia had created the need for a Catholic college
within the limits of the city. To that end, a group of eminent
priests and laymen, led by the Most Reverend James Frederick
Wood, later Archbishop of Philadelphia, obtained a charter for the
incorporation of La Salle College from the Legislature of the Com-
monwealth of Pennsylvania. The Christian Brothers' Academy,
which had been organized during the previous year as a part of St.
Michael's parochial school, became the nucleus of the new college.
By 1929, when it was moved to its present site, the College had
already outgrown three previous locations. And almost as soon as
the College and Faculty buildings were occupied, ground was broken
for the field house, which was ready for use early in 1930.
Since then the continued growth of the academic and athletic
programs of the College has necessitated additional facilities. These
include McCarthy Stadium, built in 1937 and named for John A.
McCarthy, a generous benefactor of the College; McShain Hall,
dedicated in 1940 and named for John McShain, another generous
benefactor; Leonard Hall, the student union building, completed in
1947 and named for Brother Gervald Leonard, whose devoted serv
ice to the men of La Salle College has endeared his memory to all
who knew him; and Benilde Hall, a new building with facilities for
nine classrooms and offices for members of the faculty. It is named
for Blessed Brother Benildus, the second Christian Brother whomthe Holy See has seen fit to consider for canonization. A new Li-
brary building, designed to house more than 100,000 volumes and to
provide ample research and study facilities for the students and faculty
of the College is scheduled to be formally dedicated and ready for
use in the fall term, 1952 (see perspective in center of catalog).
There are no living accommodations on the campus for out-of-town
students, but such students are able to obtain accommodations with
private families in the immediate vicinity. Two modern dormitory
buildings of collegiate-Gothic architecture are now under construc-
tion and will be ready for occupancy in the fall of 1953 (see per-
spective opposite pages 46 and 47).

General Information 19
English (four years) 3 units
Mathematics:
Elementary Algebra 1 unit
Plane Geometry 1 unit
History 1 unit
Natural Science 1 unit
2Modern Language 2 units
The remaining six units must be in academic subjects. However,
applicants for the Business Program may submit commercial subjects
such as Business Law and Bookkeeping. Typing is not acceptable.
It is recommended that applicants for the Science and Mathematics
Program have high school Mathematics through Trigonometry.
When the applicant's credentials have been reviewed and ap'
proved by the Committee on Admissions, he is advised of the date
set for any entrance examinations that he may be required to take.
In general, these examinations include tests of ability and aptitude,
language qualification, and reading comprehension. College Board
Entrance Examinations may be substituted for the La Salle College
Entrance Examinations. As soon as the results of the entrance exami'
nations have been evaluated, the applicant is notified regarding his
admission status with the college. If he has been accepted, he is sent
certain preregistration material, together with a medical examination
form to be filled out by his family physician.
A satisfactory interview confirms his acceptance.
Admission of Veterans
Veterans are admitted to the Freshman class on the same general
basis as non'veterans. However, due weight is given to the prospec-
tive student's military experience, which may be sufficient to over-
come deficiencies in his high school record and to obviate the require
ment for certain of the entrance examinations. The veteran follows
the same application procedure as the non-veteran, but must submit,
in addition, a certificate of eligibility from the Veterans' Administra-
tion.
The deadline for most World War II veterans starting a course
of education was July 25, 1951. The G.I. bill provided generally
that training must have been initiated by July 25, 1951, or four
2 The two units must be in the same foreign language (French, German, Italian, Spanish,
etc.); a student may be admitted to the College even though he cannot meet the foreign
language requirement, but he must, in that case, take two years of modern foreign language
(French, German, Italian, or Spanish) in College, without receiving credit for the first year.

years after a veteran's discharge, whichever is later; and it must be
completed by July 25, 1956. Veterans are subject to the 1951 and
1956 cut'off dates, but there are the following exceptions:
1. Veterans discharged after July 25, 1947, have four years
from date of discharge in which to begin G.I. bill training. However,
they must finish by June 25, 1956.
2. Veterans who enlisted or re-enlisted under the Armed Forces
Voluntary Recruitment Act (between October 6, 1945, and October
5, 1946) are not bound by either deadline. Instead, they have four
years from the end of that enlistment or re-enlistment period in which
to start, and nine years from that time in which to complete their
course of training.
3. Veterans who enlisted on or after June 27, 1950, regardless
of where they served, are eligible for one and one-half days educa-
tion or training for each day of service. The maximum training per-
mitted is 36 months, which is four school years.
Veterans who served both in World War II and since June 27,
1950 are eligible for further education and training benefits under
the new law providing the total period received does not exceed 48
months. Thus, a World War II veteran who received 36 months of
training under the original bill is limited to a maximum of 12 months
additional training under the new law. If he received the full 48
months training under the World War II law, he cannot receive any
additional education or training benefits even if his later service
would ordinarily have entitled him to 36 months.
Admission with Advanced Standing
La Salle College will admit a student who has attended another
college provided his scholastic record is satisfactory in every respect.
A student desiring to transfer to La Salle from another college fol-
lows the same general procedure as an entering Freshman, except
that a transcript of his college work must be submitted in place of the
high school record and that he need take no entrance examinations.
Veterans who have pursued special training courses during mili-
tary service may be admitted with advanced standing, provided the
courses they have taken in service approximate courses included in
the program of their choice at La Salle. Records in these courses are

evaluated in accordance with the procedures that have been sug'
gested by the American Council on Education.
Students admitted with advanced standing must complete the
senior year in residence at La Salle College in order to be eligible for
a degree.
THE COLLEGE TESTING PROGRAM
After the student has been admitted, he is advised by the Col'
lege Guidance Center of the day on which he is to appear for addi'
tional tests that are designed to assist him in evaluating himself and
in helping him to correct any habits or deficiencies that may have an
adverse effect on his college career. The specific tests administered
are an Interest Inventory, to determine whether or not the student's
measured interests are the same as those he claims to have; an Adjust'
ment Inventory, to determine whether or not the student has personal
problems that may detract from his attention to his college work;
a Study'Habits Inventory, to determine whether or not the student
has developed those habits of organisation and concentration that
will enable him to derive the greatest benefit from his college career;
and a Reading Test, to determine whether or not the student has
difficulty in comprehending written materials—which play such a
large part in the college learning process.
After these tests have been administered and scored, each stU'
dent is called back to the Guidance Center for a personal interview.
He is then apprised of the results of his tests and of any difficulties
that he may encounter. If the need for them is indicated, the stU'
dent may be given additional aptitude and ability tests. Those stU'
dents who show deficiencies in study habits and/or in reading com'
prehension are given special assistance during the Freshman year.
After the student has completed his tests and interviews with
the Guidance Center, he is given an appointment for a personal
interview with the Dean of the College. During this interview, any
information which may have bearing upon the student's college
performance is made a matter of record and the student is given the
opportunity to select the courses that he wishes to take within his
chosen program of studies.
22 La Salle College
Language Placement Tests
A Freshman may continue the modern language studied in high
school or elect the elementary course in a new language. If he elects
the language previously studied in high school, he is required to take
the placement test during the Freshman Orientation Program. Astudent who does not qualify in the language placement test must
register for the elementary course either in the language previously
studied or a new language. Students registering for the Bachelor of
Science Degree in Business Administration may elect Sociology in
place of a modern language. College credit is given for the elemen-
tary course in foreign language only when the language has not been
previously studied in high school.
The Freshman Orientation Program
All entering Freshmen are required to report two weeks before
the opening of classes in September. Part of this two-week period
is taken up with the administration of the language placement tests
described above and with the mechanics of registering for courses
for the Fall term. The bulk of the time, however, is given over to
an intensive one-credit course in College Orientation.
The subject matter of this course consists of such topics as
study habits, note-taking, time-budgeting, and other aspects of col-
lege study, and of the aims, ideals, customs, and traditions of La
Salle. In addition, the National Freshman Testing Program is
administered.
This testing program measures the abilities and general develop-
ment of each student in comparison with entering college freshmen
throughout the United States, thus providing the student with an
excellent opportunity to shape his college program, both curricular
and extra-curricular, in such a manner as to strengthen any weak
points that have been revealed by the tests. (This testing program is
followed up at the end of the Sophomore year by the National Soph-
omore Testing Program, the results of which are made available to
the student before he selects his program for the last two years of
college. These results show him whether or not he has improved
his relative standing in the country's college population and whether
or not he has succeeded in overcoming any weaknesses that were
revealed by the Freshman Testing Program.)
General Information 23
This combination of tests and interviews makes available to the
student the best objective measuring services that have so far been
devised, with the purpose in view of helping him to achieve that
adjustment which is so essential to happiness and success in life
—
as well as in college.
THE SCHOLASTIC YEAR
The scholastic year is divided into two full semesters of sixteen
weeks each. Semesters ordinarily commence in September and
February.
REGISTRATION
At the end of each school year, students select the courses which
they wish to take during the following academic year. These selec-
tions are limited by the requirements set forth in the section on
Programs of Study. Elective courses must have the written ap-
proval of the Course Adviser for the curriculum which the student is
following, and deviations from requirements or changes in curriculum
must have the written approval of the Dean.
Actual registration for courses, except in the case of Freshmen,
takes place in the week preceding the resumption of classes. Fresh'
man registration is included in the program of the two weeks preced'
ing the beginning of classes.
No student may register for more than eighteen semester credit
hours of work without the permission of the Dean.
EXAMINATIONS AND GRADES
The last week of each term is set apart for examinations.
Examinations at other times are given whenever the instructors deem
advisable. A progress report on each student is submitted to the
Office of the Dean at the middle of each term. Permanent records
are made only of the final course grades. To determine the final
course grades, recitations, written work and the final examina-
tion are considered. In recording the final grade for each course,
the following system is employed: "A" (superior), "B" (very good),
"C" (average), "D" (passed), "F11
(failure), "I" (incomplete), 3
3 The incomplete grade is given to a student who has not complied with all the require-
ments of a course. It is not given to a student who has failed. An incomplete grade becomes
a failure if it is not removed before the third week of the succeeding term.
24 La Salle College
"W—" (withdrawn),
4 "N" (conditional) .
5 Course grades are issued
at the end of each term.
A semester credit hour is defined as one hour of lecture or recita-
tion, or the equivalent of two hours of laboratory time per week for
one term. The number of quality points per course is the product of
the number of semester credit hours and the grade. An "A" grade
is equal to three quality points per credit hour; a "B" grade, two
quality points per credit hour; a "C" grade, one quality point per
credit hour. Grades lower than "C" do not merit quality points.
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE BACHELOR OF ARTSOR SCIENCE DEGREE
The candidate for the degree of Bachelor of Arts must have
completed course work equivalent to 128 semester hours and have
attained a quality point score of 128. He must have completed
the prescribed work in the Lower and Upper Divisions as described
under the section Programs OF Study. The Bachelor of Science
degree is conferred on those students who complete all of the above
requirements in the Area of Business Administration.
All students must complete the senior year in residence in order
to be eligible for a degree.
ATTENDANCE
All students are expected to attend classes regularly. An allow-
able number of absences is permitted to provide for conditions be-
yond the control of the student. Cumulative absences of more than
two weeks or consecutive absences of more than one week in any
course are regarded as excessive. The instructor of the course will
deal with such cases in accordance with the circumstances which
necessitated the absence and will notify the Dean's office in either
case. A student who is absent to excess and without good reason is
4 Withdrawal grades are "WX," "WP," "WF." An explanation of these grades is
given in the student handbook.
5 The conditional grade is given at the end of the first term of a two-term course when
the work of the first term has been too poor to merit a passing grade, but when the student's
attitude and progress in the course indicate that he may be able to pass the work of the
second term. If the student then receives an "F" grade for the second term, the "N" for
the first term also becomes an "F"; if he receives a passing grade ("A," "B," "C," or "D"),
his grade for the first term becomes a "D" and he receives whatever grade he has earned
for the second term. Two-term courses are designated in the section AREAS OF INSTRUC-TION by an asterisk (*) before the course number.
General Information 25
given a grade of "F." Attendance is noted from the first regular
class meeting regardless of the time of registration.
WITHDRAWALS
A student who withdraws from the College must submit a writ'
ten statement to that effect to the Dean. In the event that a student
withdraws without submitting the above notification, except where
parents or guardian have made a similar request in writing, honorable
dismissal is not granted. The date of filing a notice of withdrawal is
considered as the date of withdrawal in all cases.
'
SCHOLARSHIP STUDENTS
Recipients of academic scholarships must maintain a "B11
aver'
age; otherwise the scholarship is forfeited.
DELINQUENT STUDENTS
Whenever, in the opinion of the Committee on Academic Stand'
ing, a student shows by poor scholarship that he is no longer profiting
by the educational program of the college, he will be asked to
withdraw.
PHYSICAL EDUCATION
An organised physical training program is provided for all
Freshmen. Every student, except those enrolled in the Reserve Officer
Training Program, must participate in the minimum requirement of
one period per week of systematic exercise under the supervision of
an instructor. Students whose physical condition does not permit
strenuous exercise are permitted to substitute a milder program.
Exception to the minimum requirement is made only in extreme cases
of incapacity. A physician's certificate is required for any exemption
from the full program.
26 La Salle College
THE RESERVE OFFICERS' TRAINING PROGRAM
The primary purpose of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps is
to produce commissioned officers for the Organized Reserve Corps
and the Regular Army.
R.O.T.C. instruction is divided into two phases: the Basic Course
and the Advanced Course. The Basic Course consists of two aca-
demic years of instruction (MS 101 a, b; 202 a, b). All freshman
and sophomore students who meet the following requirements are
required to enroll in the Basic Course. They must be:
1. Citizens of the United States;
2. Physically qualified under standards prescribed by the De-
partment of the Army;
3. Accepted by La Salle College as a regularly enrolled student;
4. Not less than 14 years of age and under 23 years at the time
of enrollment;
5. Pass such general survey or screening tests as may apply.
Students who have had previous military service or training may re-
ceive credit for the first year, or, both years of the Basic Course if the
previous service or training is substantially equivalent to that part of
the Basic Course for which credit is given.
Those students who have successfully completed the Basic Course
and who are selected by the President of the College and the Profes-
sor of Military Science and Tactics, may be enrolled in the Advanced
Course. Elegible students enrolled in the Basic or Advanced Courses
may be deferred from induction into the Armed Forces.
The Advanced Course consists of two academic years of instruc-
tion (MS 303 a, b; 404 a, b) and six weeks of training in a summer
camp for artillery students conducted at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Three
hours per week are devoted to military subjects during the Basic
Course, and five hours per week during the Advanced Course.
Students do not receive any pay while pursuing the Basic Course.
As a member of the Advanced Course, students receive approximately
$27 per month, and, while at summer camp, receive approximately
$75 per month, plus food, lodging, uniforms, equipment, medical care
and travel pay to and from the camp.
Uniforms, textbooks and equipment are issued to the students at
the beginning of each school year and must be turned in by the stu-
General Information 27
dents at the end of the school year. Textbooks are issued for military-
subjects only. Uniforms must be worn one day each week.
Students are required to maintain a satisfactory scholastic stand'
ing in all subjects to remain in the advanced R.O.T.C. course. Dueto the fact that the enrollment quota decreases throughout the four
year course, it may be necessary to drop some students even though
they have made a passing grade in military subjects. Therefore, it
behooves each R.O.T.C. student to make the highest grade possible.
Upon satisfactory completion of the R.O.T.C. course, students
will be eligible for a commission in the Organized Reserve Corps. Afew outstanding students will be eligible for a commission in the
Regular Army.
Prospective students who desire information concerning the
Reserve Officers1
Training Program should communicate with the
Professor of Military Science and Tactics, La Salle College, Phik'
delphia 41, Pennsylvania.

FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS
Regulations
All tuition, fees, and other expenses are to be paid within ten
(10) days after the beginning of the current term, or an arrangement
must be made with the Bursar of the College within the same period
for the establishment of a deferred payment plan. The Bursar of
the College issues and makes all adjustments on all student bills.
Tuition and fee bills are mailed to the address indicated on the stU'
dent's registration card. Each student is responsible for receiving his
own bill. If a tuition bill is not received within ten (10) days after
registration, the student should apply at the Bursar's office for a
duplicate.
Deferred Payments
Provision is made under a deferred payment plan for students
who may have difficulty in meeting their total expenses in advance.
The student is required to enter into a contract 1 whereby he agrees to
pay his Tuition, General Fee and the Carrying Charge Fee for De'
ferred Payment in four (4) equal installments per term. Under this
agreement oncfourth of the total expense must be paid within ten
(10) days after the beginning of the current term.
A fee of $5.00 per term is charged for servicing deferred payment accounts. If the total expense is paid within sixty days of
signing the agreement the deferred payment fee will be waived.
1 In all instances where a deferred payment plan is requested, the student or, if he is a
minor, his parent must sign a note for the unpaid balance and the signer will be strictly
responsible for making payments when due.
The privilege of dividing payments is not to be construed as an arrangement whereby a
student may contract for less than a full term of work in the courses for which he registers
or be relieved of any part of his tuition obligation.
30 La Salle College
Refunds
Students who withdraw from the College or from a part of their
program of studies for a satisfactory reason before the end of the fifth

of tuition.
Obligations
No student who is delinquent in the payment of tuition or other
fees, or against whom the College holds record of indebtedness, will be
given a diploma of graduation or a transcript of record, until such
indebtedness has been paid. A student, who owes tuition or other
fees at the close of the term, will not be permitted to take his term
examinations nor to receive credit for that term.

ACTIVITIES AND ORGANIZATIONS
Student groups, whether organized for academic, social, ath'
letic, or religious purposes, are an integral part of a well balanced
collegiate program. La Salle College recognizes this and provides
opportunities for the wholesome development of social relationships
that accord with the Christian ideals of the College. All organiza'
tions must be approved by the College faculty and each must include
an adviser who is a member of the faculty. A satisfactory academic
standing and an interest in the affairs of the organization are the
general requisites for membership.

PUBLICATIONS
The major student publications of the College are the La Salle
Collegian and the Explorer. The former is the weekly newspaper,
which serves both as a workshop for students interested in journalism
and as a vehicle for disseminating information to the student body.
The latter is the yearbook published by the members of the graduating
class to serve as a record of college life and of the outstanding events
of the year. A literary magazine, four quarters, is published quar-
terly during the academic year, aimed at focusing the practice and
appreciation of writing in the Catholic tradition and aimed more par'
ticularly at fixing a channel of expression for Faculty, Alumni, and
Students of La Salle College, the Brothers of the Christian Schools,
and selected outside contributors.
ATHLETICS
La Salle College supports a limited program of intramural and
intercollegiate athletics that is designed to meet the needs and serve
the best interests of the entire student body.
Facilities are provided so that all interested students can partici'
pate in intramural touch football, basketball, tennis, baseball, soft-
ball, volleyball, and swimming. In addition, intercollegiate basket-
ball, baseball, tennis, track, crew, swimming, soccer, and golf teams
are maintained.
RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES
The Chapel of La Salle College provides a convenient center
both for personal meditation and for group worship. Its facilities
and the services of the College Chaplain are available to the student
body at all times. Holy Mass is offered every morning before the
first class. The College marks special events by observances such as
the Mass of the Holy Ghost at the beginning of the school year and
the Military Mass in honor of St. Barbara, the Patroness of Artillery-
men. Each student is given the opportunity of making a retreat with
the members of his class.
There is a student organization, the Adoration Society, which
provides an opportunity for students to show special devotion to the
Blessed Sacrament by maintaining a continuous student vigil of prayer
in the College Chapel during the day.
PROGRAMS OF STUDY
Before a student receives his degree from La Salle College he
must demonstrate that he has mastered the important concepts and
techniques of his field of specialization and that he appreciates the
relationship of his field of specialization to the whole field of knowl-
edge. Experience has shown that this end can best be achieved by
organizing the four years of college study into two parts:
During the first two years (the Lower Division), emphasis is
placed upon general courses, such as English Composition and
Literature, Logic, Rational Psychology, Modern Languages, and
Religion, which constitute the heart of a liberal education. At the
same time the student takes those courses that are prerequisite to his
specialized work.
During the latter two years (the Upper Division), emphasis
is placed upon specialized courses in the student's chosen field of
endeavor. At the same time, he is taking courses, principally in
Philosophy, which lend significance and meaning to his specialized
work.
A wide choice of fields of specialization is available to the stu'
dent entering La Salle College. However, the arrangement described
above makes possible the organization of all these fields of specializa-
tion into three basic programs: the General or Liberal Arts Program,
the Science and Mathematics Program, and the Business Program.
Each provides the elements of a liberal education; each prepares the
student for the pursuit of one of several specialized curricula during
the last two years of his college work.
THE GENERAL OR LIBERAL ARTS PROGRAM1
The student who wishes to obtain the degree of Bachelor of
Arts in any of the following fields should apply for admission to the
General or Liberal Arts Program:
l Upper Division curricula and course descriptions for Economics, Education, Govern-
ment, History, and Sociology are listed in the section AREA OF HISTORY AND SOCIALSCIENCE; for Classics (including Greek and Latin), English, and Modern Foreign Language
(including French, German, Italian and Spanish), in the section AREA OF LITERATURE; for
Philosophy and Religion, in the section AREA OF PHILOSOPHY AND RELIGION.

upon his career. Students desiring to pursue any of these specialized
curricula must complete the courses listed below during the four

THE SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS PROGRAM6
The student who wishes to receive the degree of Bachelor of
2 Students who wish to become certified as public school teachers must also designate the
principal subject in which they wish to achieve certification, whether Classics, English, History,
Modern Foreign Languages, or Social Studies. Students who wish to achieve certification in
General Science, Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics or Physics should apply for admission to the
Science and Mathematics program for their Freshman and Sophomore years.
3 Courses in Religion are not required of non-Catholic students; instead, a two-hour,
two-term course in Basic Philosophy is required.
4 Students who make less than a qualifying grade in the language placement test or whopresent less than two units of modern foreign language from high school are required to take
elementary language during the Freshman year and intermediate language during the Sophomore
year. Students who plan to go to graduate school after completing their course at La Salle are
urged to take French or German as their foreign language because of the importance of these
languages in graduate study.
5 Students may choose between General Biology and College Algebra 6? Trigonometry;
students who have not had Trigonometry in high school are encouraged to elect General
Biology. Algebra and Trigonometry or Mathematical Analysis is recommended to Economics
students.
6 Upper Division curricula and course descriptions for Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics,
Physics, and Psychology are listed in the section AREA OF NATURAL SCIENCE ANDMATHEMATICS.
Programs of Study 37
Arts in one of the following fields should apply for admission to the
Science and Mathematics Program:
Biology Mathematics
Chemistry Physics
Psychology
The student who wishes to enter a medical, dental, or similar
professional school must follow the curriculum in Biology or Chem'
istry. The College will not alter its program to enable a student
to meet the entrance requirements of a professional school that ad'
mits students with one or two years of college training. For that
reason, students who intend to enter such professional schools are
advised to ascertain the requirements of the school of their choice
before selecting their program at La Salle College.
Students desiring to pursue the specialized curricula of the
Science and Mathematics Program must complete the courses listed
below during the four terms of the first two years:

THE BUSINESS PROGRAM12
The student who wishes to receive the degree of Bachelor of
Science in Business Administration in one of the following fields
should apply for admission to the Business Program:
Accounting Industrial Management
General Business Industrial Relations
Marketing
The Accounting curriculum is designed to ground the student
in all of the accounting processes that he will need in entering busi-
ness, in preparing for the examinations for Certified Public Account'
ant, or in entering a graduate school of accountancy. The General
Business curriculum is designed to prepare the student to enter the
business world well-equipped with a general knowledge of the prin-
ciples that govern business operations, or to enter a graduate school
of business.
The other three Business curricula are more specialized. The
Industrial Management curriculum stresses the economic, ethical,
psychological, and social factors that enter into the organization and
operation of a business establishment; these factors are integrated
with specialized courses in such subjects as Time and Motion Study,
Industrial Relations, and the like. The Industrial Relations cur-
riculum is very similar except that the emphasis is placed upon per-
sonnel relations and labor organization. The Marketing curriculum
stresses the economic, ethical, psychological, and social factors that
enter into advertising, salesmanship, and the other aspects of stimu'
lating and meeting the demand for the products of industry.
Students desiring to pursue the specialized curricula of the
Business Program must complete successfully the courses listed below
during the four terms of the first two years:
12 Upper Division curricula in Business and course descriptions for Accounting, Business
Law, Finance, Industry, Insurance, and Marketing are listed in the section AREA OFBUSINESS ADMINISTRATION.

LOWER DIVISION REQUIREMENTS
In order to qualify for admission to the Upper Division, the
student must complete the work of the Lower Division with a
minimum of 64 semester credit hours and a minimum of 64 quality
points. Furthermore, he must make grades of "C" or better in
those courses which are prerequisite to the advanced work in his
chosen field of concentration.
Under unusual circumstances a student may be permitted to
change from one Lower Division Program to another only when his
record indicates that he may profit by such a change. Permission
must be obtained from the Dean. In any case of this type the student
enters the Upper Division on a probation basis. This may entail
taking approved summer courses or an additional semester in college.
UPPER DIVISION REQUIREMENTSThe general requirements for the completion of any of the
Upper Division curricula are the successful completion of 12 hours
in the required Philosophy courses and a minimum of 32 hours in
courses in one Area of Instruction, plus sufficient other courses to
bring the total number of semester credit hours to 64, which, with
13 Students who present two units of modern foreign language from high school may
elect Sociology or they may take the language placement test in an effort to qualify for
intermediate language. Students who present less than two units of modern foreign language
from high school must take elementary language during the Freshman year and intermediate
language during the Sophomore year.

Money and Credit (Finance 301); General Business, Industrial Management and Industrial
Relations students take Principles of Business Organization and Industrial Management (Indus'
try 301-302); and Marketing students take Principles of Marketing (Marketing 301 a, b).
15 In general, this elective should be a non-Business subject.

the 64 hours earned on the Lower Division, gives the student the
required total of 128 for the four years. There is the further
stipulation that the 64 hours earned on the Upper Division must be
in courses that have been designated as Upper Division courses for
the curriculum which the student is following.
As shown in the sections that follow, the requirements of a
balanced curriculum in some Areas of Instruction are so exacting as
to preclude any election of courses by the student. Where electives
are permitted, they may be taken only with the written consent of
the Course Adviser for the curriculum involved.
AREAS OF INSTRUCTIONThis section includes all of the Upper Division curricula and
the description of all courses arranged according to Area of Instruc-
tion. In general, courses numbered in the one and two hundreds
are Lower Division courses and are offered during each academic
year; courses numbered in the three and four hundreds are Upper
Division courses and are offered as frequently as the needs of the
students may require.
An asterisk (*) before the course number designates a two-term
course; that is, a course in which the second term must be completed
in order to receive credit for the first term's work.

In addition to these basic courses, many medical schools specify certain
special courses. It is advisable, therefore, that the premedical student famil-
iarize himself with the exact requirements of the school to which he will
apply.
A prospective medical student' may concentrate in Biology or Chem-
istry and, at the same time, meet the requirements for medical school. Only
those students who do better than average work in the premedical courses
shall qualify for a favorable recommendation from the faculty.
PREPARATION FOR DENTISTRY
The basic requirements for admission to most dental schools are the
same as those for admission to medical schools. The special courses, how-
ever, vary with each school. It is recommended, therefore, that the prospec-
tive dental student acquaint himself with the requirements of the school which
he plans to enter.
A prospective dental student may concentrate in Biology or Chemistry
and, at the same time, meet the requirements for dental school.
