    REQUIREMENTS FOR THE B.Sc. DEGREE
    Students may obtain a Bachelor of Science degree by pursuing either a general course
    program or an honors course program.
    The general course program provides a broad general education in several fields of
    study and some specialization in one field known as the major field. This program is not
    Oo
    wally pursued by students who intend to proceed to advanced degrees (M.Sc., J?h.D.). A
    tal of120 semester hours of credit is required.
    The honors course program provides an education "in depth" in a single field of study,
    and requires the student to concentrate his studies in the fifth to eighth semesters in the
    chosen field. This program should be pursued by students who intend to proceed to advanced
    degrees, provided they can meet the entrance requirements and maintain the required
    stazldi:12.
    A total of 132 semester hours of credit is required.
    ALL STUDENTS
    who can meet the entrance requirements are encouraged to apply for d-
    mission to the honors course program, even though they may not intend to proceed to ad'iai-:.d
    degrees. Students are usually admitted to the honors program at the end of the fourth sem-
    ester.
    ADMISSIONS TO THE HONORS PROGRAM
    ,
    Students applying for admission to an honors program normally are required to have at
    least a "B" average grade.

    jects. Consequently, it will offer a course, English 001-0- Writing, in every semester and
    a complementary course, Reading 001-0- Reading and Comprehension, in every semester.
    Students may elect to take one or both of these courses to fulfil the General Ed,i:.atloii
    Oquirements of the first two semesters. Students who have difficulty in the
