SENIOR COLLEGE REQUIREMENTS When a student enters the Junior year he shall have determined in what line of study he will spe- cialize. For the purpose of specialization majors and minors are ofl’ered. The line of study in which a student will par- ticularly specialize constitutes his major. One or two additional lines of study must be pursued as supporting subjects. (See Curriculums). The major subject, since it means specialization, is determined by the student’s special aptitudes as shown in the quality of work he has done in the Junior College, where basic courses prerequisite to the major line of study are offered in sequences which lay the foundation for the major work. See departmental statements under Courses of Instruc- tion. It is well for the student to know in his Fresh- man year what major line of study he will pursue. Students who are still undecided as to their major choice when they appear for registration in the Junior year, must, before they register, consult the Matriculation Committee and the heads of depart- ments concerned, in order to determine their line of major work. Junior College students are required in plan- ning their special line of major study as well as in planning the Work in the minor or minors, to con- sult with the head of the department offering the major.
