On the basis of all the information gained during the first two college years the student, with the aid of his advisor, chooses a major field of specialization for the rest of his college work. If he has achieved high grades in his qualifying examinations, taken at the end of the sophomore year, he is given the choice of working for a degree in general studies or becoming a candidate for a degree with honors. In the latter, the attention of the student is focused upon his particular field and much of his last two years is spenthin indivi- dual reading and study under supervision. The candidate for a degree in general studies undertakes a less intense major program and has an opportunity to take a number of courses in various fields. Throughout the studentas course, attention is directed toward his use of English as a means of communi- cation, oral and written. Students may be required to take special remedial work under the Committee on the Use of English if any instructor observes deficiencies in his English. The student must maintain a satis- factory level of performance in his use of English during his four years of college in order to graduate. For those students whose major field necessitates a sequence of courses in the sciences, a curriculum leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science is provided.
