TEACHING MAJOR IN HOME ECONOMICS

A total of 124 credits and 124 grade-points is required for graduation.
The number of free electives varies from 11 to 56 credits, depending on the
amount of foreign language required and whether a teachers’ certificate is
to be earned. Electives may be chosen in any college of the University.

It is desirable that electives be grouped for a definite purpose such as
a teaching minor or teachers’ certificate, a journalism minor, (Agricultural
Journalism 8, 106, 111, Journalism 123), sociology minor, a related art
minor, or for wider and more intensive knowledge as a basis for advanced
study. For example, those taking a food major elect additional courses in
organic and physiological chemistry in preparation for more intensive work
in nutrition.

Those desiring to go into social welfare work should take a minor in
sociology. It should include Economics la, and two courses from each of
the following groups to make a total of fifteen credits:

Group A—Sociology 1, 139, 172, 197.

Group B—Sociology 2, 141, 161, 177.

Those who wish to go into extension work may elect a minor in agri-
culture. It is suggested that 10 credits (the minimum number allowed) be
chosen from Agricultural Economics 25, 126; Agricultural Journalism 8,
111; Horticulture 3, 8; Agricultural Education 5; Economic ~~ ies
Poultry Husbandry 1.
