IV. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE B.A.
GENERAL COURSE

18. OUTLINE OF CURRICULUM

(a) English: 10 or 12 credits, as follows: 6 credits in freshman
composition; 4 or 6 credits in sophomore literature (English 33 or 30).
Students securing a grade of A in the first semester of the composition
course may, if they so desire, omit the second semester of it. On the com-
pletion of English 1 a provisional pass mark is given; if at any time later
in his course a student, is reported as deficient or careless in English com-
position he may be required to take additional work in that subject.

(b) Foreign language: 382 credits in one, two, or three of the foreign
languages specified below are required for graduation. These credits may
be earned partly in high school and partly in the University, or wholly in
the University. High-school work is accepted in satisfaction of the foreign-
language requirement at the rate of four university credits for one unit,
up to the amount of six units or 24 university credits. A student is not
permitted to repeat in college, for credit, the equivalent of a course in for-
eign language which he has had in high school. French, German, Classical
Greek, Hebrew, Italian, Latin, Norse, and Spanish, and no other languages,
may be offered either for entrance or graduation.

Students entering from foreign countries where they have studied
English as a foreign language in recognized secondary schools or colleges,
may be allowed not more than four entrance units for their work in Eng-
lish as partial fulfillment of the foreign language required for graduation.
Such students, including those entering with advanced standing, will take
the preliminary tests in freshman English administered at the beginning
of each semester, and those who fail to pass these tests must take work
in sub-freshman English. Students presenting English as a foreign lan-
guage for the B.A. degree must secure at least sixteen credits in another
foreign language accepted by the University of Wisconsin and excluding
their mother tongues, and must continue such foreign language at this
University for at least one year.
