MAJORS

The requirements for a major in Home Economics are not less than
18 nor more than 40 credits in strictly home economics subjects. A mini-
mum of 12 credits or a maximum of 82 in strictly home economics subjects,
inclusive of the thesis, may be taken during the junior and senior years.
Home Economics 2, 9, and 109 are general courses in art and on the family,
required of all majors in Home Economics. They are not counted in either
the minimum or maximum credits for the major, but are included in the
120 required for graduation. The teachers’ courses, 352, 353, 190, and 194,
may be elected and count not only toward the 120 required for graduation,
but also as part of the 124 credits necessary for receiving the University
Teachers’ Certificate; they are not, however, considered as home economics
electives.

The majors which lead to professional work in the field of home
economics are: (1) teaching in home economics, (2) food major—either
hospital dietitian or institutional management, (3) textile major, (4) ap-
plied bacteriology major, (5) nursing or hospital administration major,
(6) major in related art. There is also a non-professional course which
allows a wide latitude in the choice of a major.

THESIS

All candidates for a degree are required to present a thesis. A thesis
must represent original work upon some subject which has been arranged
after consultation with the student’s adviser and the head of the depart-
ment in which the work is done. On the advice of the major professor,
course 80 may be taken for 4 credits to count as a thesis substitute, and
at her direction the finished typewritten report may be deposited in the
University Library as a thesis or retained in the departmental office.
