BOARD OF T R U S T E E S

[June 23

C U R R I C U L U M IN PHARMACY (g) T h e Chicago Professional Colleges Senate recommends authorization of a revised curriculum in Pharmacy leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy which will add a fifth year to the present curriculum, effective with the class entering in the fall of i960. This change is in accord with the recommendation of the American Council on Pharmaceutical Education. Admission Requirements T o qualify for admission to the College of Pharmacy, an applicant must be a graduate of an accredited secondary school, or have equivalent preparation, and have satisfactorily completed not less than thirty semester hours or forty-five quarter hours of academic work, exclusive of hygiene, physical education, or military science, in an accredited college, junior college, or university. College Requirements College work submitted to meet the entrance requirements of the College of Pharmacy must include the listed minimum credit in the following courses: Inorganic Chemistry, including Qualitative Analysis, eight semester hours; College Algebra, three semester hours; Plane Trigonometry, two semester hours; English Composition, six semester hours. Courses elected to complete the required thirty semester hours should not include courses offered in the College of Pharmacy, but should be selected to increase the social and cultural background of the student. If credit in courses required in the College of Pharmacy curriculum is used for admission, the student must elect an equivalent number of hours in elective courses. Applicants entering from institutions other than the University of Illinois must have a grade-point average of at least 3.0 in terms of the grading system of the University of Illinois. Students entering the College of Pharmacy from other colleges within the University of Illinois must be eligible for continued registration in that college. An applicant who is otherwise qualified but whose grade-point average for his last semester is less than 3.0 will be admitted on a probationary status. Students who have been dropped for poor scholarship at the last institution they attended will not be eligible for admission to the College of Pharmacy. Requirements for Graduation Completion of the prescribed curriculum totaling 189 quarter hours comprising 162 quarter hours in subjects required of all students and twenty-seven quarter hours in approved elective courses. T h e general requirement of the University of Illinois with respect to grade-point averages to be achieved shall be observed. This revised curriculum has been reviewed by the Senate Coordinating Council which has indicated that no other Senate jurisdiction is involved. Submitted herewith is a statement from the Dean of the College of Pharmacy explaining the objectives of the new curriculum, a copy of which is being filed with the Secretary of the Board for record. A summary of the complete curriculum will also be filed with the Secretary of the Board for record. I recommend authorization of this curriculum and that its implementation be subject to the availability of funds. O n m o t i o n of M r .

GRADUATE PROGRAM IN FINANCE (10) T h e Urbana Senate recommends authorization of a program leading to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Finance. T h e Department of Economics formerly offered graduate work in finance before the Department of Finance was established in 1957, and the new program now recommended is therefore a consequence of the division of Economics into separate departments. Admission Requirements A scholastic average of at least 3.5 for the last sixty semester hours; at least twenty-seven hours of undergraduate work in social sciences, fifteen hours of which must have been in economics (including a course in principles of economics, a course in statistics, and other courses for which the course in principles is a prerequisite); sufficient background in the area of finance and related fields.
