64 COLLEGE OF LITERATURE AND ARTS elective minor courses open to the students of the College include subjects offered in the other colleges and schools of the University. The sciences are not an integral part of the work of the College of Literature and Arts, but they are so important a part of a liberal education that every student of the College is earnestly urged to extend his study of them so far as may be. Certain courses in the College of Engineering and in the College of Agriculture, although of a somewhat technical nature, may also be counted for credit in the College of Literature and Arts. These are more particularly mentioned under "minor courses," on page 68. REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION UNDER THE GENERAL COURSE SYSTEM Credit for 150 hours (p. 171), including the prescribed military and physical training, is required for graduation under the general course system. Every student must take the prescribed subjects; in addition, he must select at least two subjects from the list of major electives, and he must then choose work sufficient to yield him the remainder of the required number of hours. No credit is granted in any subject unless the student pursues it for the minimum time for which any course in the subject is offered. For example, if a student elects a course which yields two hours' credit for one semester,* he must stay in the class during the semester in order to get any credit at all. No credit is granted for less than ten hours' work in the first year of the study of any foreign language. After the first year credit may be obtained for the work of a single semester. THE SPECIALIZED COURSE, OR GROUP, SYSTEM A specialized, or group, course is one in which the student is required to pursue a single line of study for three consecutive years, in addition to doing the prescribed work and writing a thesis. At least twenty hours' work in the chosen subject must be done before the beginning of the senior year. *See for example Civil Engineering 16, p. 202.
