GENERAL REGULATIONS
Note: In some institutions the unit of credit is the term hour,
which is the equivalent of two-thirds a semester hour. In other
institutions the unit is the major, which is the equivalent of
three and one-third semester hours; or the minor, the equivalent
of one and two-thirds semester hours.
Major. A minimum of twenty-four semester hours, including twelve
hours of advanced work, in a given subject, the number depending upon
the department selected, constitutes a major.
Minor. A minimum of eighteen hours in a given subject, including
six semester hours of advanced work, constitutes a first minor; twelve
semester hours in a given subject constitutes a second minor.*
Course Numbers. Courses numbered 100-199 are mainly for fresh-
men; courses numbered 200-299 are mainly for sophomores; courses
numbered 300-499, called advanced courses, are mainly for juniors and
seniors; and courses numbered 500 or above are for graduate students.
Advanced Courses are open to students who have credit for twelve
semester hours as a preparation in a given subject or who have the
