8. ELECTION OF STUDIES IN THE COLLEGES OF AGRICULTURE AND
ENGINEERING

Candidates for the degrees of B.A. and Ph.B. (General Course) are
allowed to elect in the College of Engineering and the College of Agricul-
ture studies in an amount not exceeding 20 credits. The conditions under
which these studies may be taken are as follows:

(a) Before he shall be eligible to elect studies in these colleges the
candidate must have completed the work of the freshman and sophomore
years of the College of Letters and Science, including those studies which
normally come in the freshman and sophomore years at Wisconsin. This
means, in the case of a candidate for the B.A. degree, that the student
must have 58 credits and 58 grade-points, and must have completed his two
years of English, two of the three requirements in history, mathematics,
and science, and four semesters of foreign language in college unless the
B.A. requirement has been completed earlier, before he may enjoy the
privileges of this rule. (See section 18 below.) Candidates for the degree
of Ph.B. (General Course) must have been equally industrious in complet-
ing the requirements of their course; in particular, they must have com-
pleted their English and 20 credits in science and mathematics (require-
ment b), together with one of the options under requirement c. (See sec-
tion 21 below.)

(b) Studies in these colleges may be elected only by students who
are to spend at least two full years in residence at the University before
receiving the bachelor’s degree. Hence they may not be elected by students
from other institutions who enter the University with more than half the
credits required for graduation nor be credited by students who through
correspondence study reduce the amount of attendance at the University
below two years.

(c) Certain courses, intended primarily for students of other colleges
but offered by departments of the College of Letters and Science (e. g.
Math. 51, Physics 51, etc.), are open in the same way as courses intended
primarily for students of the College of Letters and Science.

(d) Not more than 5 of the 20 credits may be secured in either semes-
ter of the junior year.

(e) Elections must be approved by the Dean of the College of Letters
and Science. Such approval will be endorsed on the election card in each
case in advance, and on the student’s permanent record in the Registrar’s
office. Courses which are parallel to Letters and Science courses will be
approved only for special cause. Courses which involve a large manual or
routine technical element will ordinarily be approved only as extras. Spe-
cial consideration, however, will be given to programs directed to a definite
educational end.

9. ELECTION OF STUDIES IN THE LAW SCHOOL

(a) Candidates for the degree of B.A. and Ph.B. (General Course)
who satisfy the conditions of section 8, paragraphs (a) and (b) above,
may count courses taken in the Law School of this University as free elec-
tives toward either of these degrees in an amount not exceeding 26 credits;
provided that the total of all electives from outside this college which may
be credited by such students shall not exceed 20 credits unless all are
restricted to the Law School.

(b) Candidates for the degree of B.A. and Ph.B. (General Course)
who were admitted to the Law School of this University as regular or un-
classified students before they had satisfied the conditions of section 8, sub-
sections (a) and (b) above, will be allowed to count 15 law credits or less
