1968-1969 Academic Catalog

ACADEMIC INFORMATION 37 DEGREE REQUIREMENTS Cedarville College grants two baccalaureate degrees: Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) and Bachelor of Music (B.Mus.). A degree candidate should care– fully study the requirements for that degree as well as the special require– ments for graduation found in this bulletin. Careful attention to these re– quirements will enable the student to avoid doing work which will not apply to a degree. General requirements are the following: 1. Meet all admission requirements. 2. Complete at least 186 quarter hours, 60 hours of which must be of upper division work ( 200-400 courses). 3. Maintain a grade-point average of not less than 2.00. 4. Establish minimum residency of one year ( 45 quarter hours, normally the senior year). 5. Complete the general education requirements. 6. Complete the specific requirements for the desired major and minor. 7. Demonstrate proficiency in the use of the English language on a standardized examination. 8. Complete at least two years of either classical or modern foreign language in high school or one year at the college level. MAJOR FIELD The amount of work for a typical major field is usually about 45 quarter hours and must include the requirements of the department. Comprehensive majors are typically about 70 hours. Specific requirements are listed at the beginning of division course offerings. No courses in which "D" grades are received may be counted as meeting the requirements of the major field. MINOR FIELD Twenty-four hours in one department normally constitutes a minor. Minor fields are not required of students taking comprehensive major fields. ELECTIVES The student's program has been planned so that he should have from ten to twenty hours of electives. The provision of elective choice is based upon the premise that the student should have an opportunity to either further strengthen his major field or minor field or further broaden his background by selecting courses in areas of inadequacy or interest. Elective choice also provides the student with some flexibility if he should decide to change major fields.
