COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES W. S. Gamertsfelder, Dean Graduate College and College of Arts and Sciences The College of Arts and Sciences, composed of fifteen departments, is under the direction of Dean W. S. Gamertsfelder. The aim of the school is to give the student a broad and liberal background in order that he may make a better adjustment to life. With instruction in many fields of study, the indi- vidual is equipped to understand more keenly the problems of modern society. Since subjects taught ore not technical, a student from another college may enroll in these classes for the same credit as a member of the College of Arts and Sciences. Having met requirements in English, foreign language, natural science, and social science, the student registered in this college may begin to major in a field of his choosing. His major subject must be chosen from one of three groups: social science; natural science; or language, fine arts, lit- erature, and journalism. The undergraduate college grants two degrees. Bach- elor of Arts and Bachelor of Science. Although both cover a variety of in- terests and permit specialization, the former emphasizes the old and new humanities, while the latter places the stress on natural science and mathe- matics. Students who earn either degree usually plan to take professional training in a graduate school. In this school we also find the pre-professional curricula which includes pre-law, pre-dental, pre-medical, and pre-nursing courses. After a student has completed three years of training in one of these departments, he may transfer to a professional school. Two of the newer divisions of this college ore medical technology and Wild Life Control. A student completing a course in the former may be recognized by the Ameri- can Society of Clinical Pathology. The individual taking the Wild Life Con- trol course is prepared for Federal or State conservation service, biological surveys, or economic entomology. Other fields of work in this college ore; Sociology, Biology, Botany, Zoology, Physics, Chemistry, Philosophy, Psychol- ogy, Geography, Mathematics, English, History, and Languages. Phi Beta Kappa, the national scholastic honorary, requires that its members have at least eighty percent of their work in the College of Arts and Sciences. 18
