V. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY<br />
1. Major and Minor Subjects: The work for the doctor's degree<br />
must consist of scientific research and advanced studies in some<br />
branch of science or engineering, which will be termed the "major<br />
subject" of the candidate. In addition, as "minor subject" (or subjects)<br />
, studies which will give a fundamental knowledge and research<br />
point of view must be pursued in at least one other branch of science<br />

The choice and scope of the minor subject must be approved by<br />
