REVISION OF CURRICULUM IN HOME ECONOMICS (3) The Urbana Senate recommends revisions of the curricula in home economics in the Colleges of Agriculture and Liberal Arts and Sciences which involve the following changes in graduation requirements for all majors in home economics: An increase in the number of credit hours prescribed in home economics courses from a minimum of 29 to 34 or 35 semester hours. A core of eight first-year courses (20 semester h o u r s ) , replacing the present core of 17 semester hours composed of four required courses and three or four optional courses. An increase in the number of required credit hours in advanced home economics courses from 12 to 14 or 15 semester hours. Discontinuation of the requirement of elementary hygiene. The nine options under the revised curriculum remain the same as at present. Changes are confined mostly to courses in home economics, one exception being the addition of organic chemistry and zoology to the laboratory sciences from which ten hours are required in the apparel design and retailing clothing and the home furnishings options. The entire curriculum revision involves the addition of sixteen courses (new and major revisions) totalling 41 hours and the deletion of fifteen courses totalling 48 hours. T h e revised core program, based upon educational objectives evolved and tested on a trial basis since 1949, is designed: to present an integrated view of subject matter deemed basic to training for home making and an intelligent career choice; to provide a foundation for further professional specialization in some one of the nine prescribed options; and to include courses which can be of value to non-majors and to students minoring in home economics. The revised curriculum is effective for students enrolling in it as freshmen after September 1, 1957. During a transition period new and revised courses will be activated and old courses deleted in accordance with a time table established by the Department of Home Economics. In view of the revisions recommended above, the Urbana Senate also recommends that the curriculum for home economics majors in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences be revised to include the following: University Requirements Rhetoric 101, 102 — Rhetoric and Composition 6 Liberal Arts and Sciences Requirements Language 16 Biological Sciences 9 Bacteriology 104—Elementary Bacteriology Physiology 103 — Introduction to H u m a n Physiology
