H E R E are approximately 25,000 trades, vocations, professions, and types of work followed by the people of the United States. It is, of course, impossible to list all of these in a booklet of this type. O n the following pages are listed the specific curricula which are offered by the University of Illinois. By pursuing these curricula, students may prepare themselves for the suggested vocations or professions. Along with these listed curricula are courses in which majors may be carried, and also suggestions as to additional vocations and professions for which students may prepare. It is hoped that this list may be helpful to the new student in choosing the course which he desires. By careful study he can eliminate those which do not interest him, and even if he cannot choose now the specific courses which he wishes to follow, he should be able to reduce to a practical number those from which he will choose. The courses are listed alphabetically. The description gives the length of the course, the college or school in which the course is offered, and some of the vocations and professions for which it prepares.
