SCHEDULES OF THE UNDERGRADUATE
COURSES
The school year is divided into three terms. The number of units
assigned in any term to any subject is the total number of hours per
week devoted to that subject, including class work, laboratory work,
and the estimated time for outside preparation. Laboratory assignments
include drawing exercises and field work.
Besides the subjects shown in the course schedules, students are
required to take Assembly and Physical Education in each term of
each of the four school years. Students who continue their undergraduate
work beyond four years continue to take Physical Education
throughout their undergraduate course. Freshmen attend in the
second and third terms, in addition to the general assemblies, six
orientation assemblies.
The subject numbers correspond to those given in the description
of subjects on pages 194-265. The abbreviations denote the various
branches of instruction as follows:
