1969-1970 Academic Catalog

38 CEDARVILLE COLLEGE MAJOR FIELD The amount of work for a typical major field is usually about 45 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.
