(Lower Division) T h e work of the first two years is organized into a single " P r o g r a m for the Lower Division" consisting of specifically prescribed courses and restricted group electives. T h e program of study is arranged primarily to prepare students to enter a Field of Concentration in the upper division; but for those who can stay in college only for two years, it will afford a well-balanced combination of general education and business education. A student may be registered conditionally 1 in a Field of Concentration in the junior year of the upper division if (1) he has completed fewer than 60 hours, but including all of the required courses or their equivalent as stated in the " P r o g r a m for the Lower Division," or (2) if more than 15 of the credit hours offered to secure registration in a Field have a grade below "C." Program for the Lower Division Registration must not be for less than 15 or for more than 18 credit hours in one semester.
