12 THE UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN

The title Graduate in Agriculture is conferred upon students who
complete the Middle Course in Agriculture, and the title Graduate Nurse
upon graduates of the Nursing Courses.

A graduate of any course may receive the baccaleaureate degree of any
other course by completing the additional studies required in that course.
Two baccalaureate degrees cannot be taken in one year, and for a second
bachelor’s degree in the College of Letters and Science there are required
one year’s additional study and a special thesis.

HIGHER DEGREES

The University confers in course, the degrees of Doctor of Philosophy,
Doctor of Medicine, and Doctor of Public Health. The degree of Master of
Arts is conferred as a second degree upon candidates who have received the
degree of Bachelor of Arts or an equivalent, and the degree of Master of
Science upon candidates who have received the corresponding baccalaureate
degree. The degree of Master of Public Health is granted in course to
graduates of approved medical colleges for graduate work done here. The
degree of Master of Philosophy is conferred upon candidates who have re-
ceived the degree of Bachelor of Philosophy at the University of Wisconsin;
such candidates may receive the degree of Master of Arts or Master of
Science by doing supplementary work. Candidates who have taken the
degree of Bachelor of Science in one of the engineering courses may re-
ceive the degree of Civil Engineer, Mechanical Engineer, Electrical Engi-
neer, Chemical Engineer, or Mining Engineer. For conditions under which
these higher degrees are granted, see “Graduate School.”

GENERAL ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS

ADVISERS. Upon being admitted to the University, each student is
assigned to a member of the faculty who acts as his adviser. The duties
of the adviser are to assist the student in selecting his subjects so as to
secure a well-rounded education, as well as to aid him in interpreting the
requirements and to oblige him to meet them in their proper sequence.
The responsibility for the selection of courses rests, in the final analysis,
upon the student and it is not the province of the adviser to refuse ap-
proval of a course which the student is entitled to elect. Similarly, it is
the primary duty of the student to meet the requirements of his course in
their proper order, so that he may not, in his senior year, find himself
ineligible for graduation. At the opening of each semester the student is
required to consult his adviser concerning his choice of studies, and the
adviser must approve the student’s elections before he is permitted to enter
classes.

EXAMINATIONS; GRADES. Two-hour examinations are held at the close
of each semester, and one-hour examinations are held in all elementary and
most advanced courses once to three times during a semester. No special
semester examination will be given except by authorization of the faculty.
Final grades are made up at the close of each semester, but mid-semester
reports are also turned in for all freshmen and for students whose work
has been unsatisfactory.
