Google
This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.
It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.
Marks, notations and other maiginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the
publisher to a library and finally to you.
Usage guidelines
Google is proud to partner with libraries to digitize public domain materials and make them widely accessible. Public domain books belong to the
public and we are merely their custodians. Nevertheless, this work is expensive, so in order to keep providing tliis resource, we liave taken steps to
prevent abuse by commercial parties, including placing technical restrictions on automated querying.
We also ask that you:
+ Make non-commercial use of the files We designed Google Book Search for use by individuals, and we request that you use these files for
personal, non-commercial purposes.
+ Refrain fivm automated querying Do not send automated queries of any sort to Google's system: If you are conducting research on machine
translation, optical character recognition or other areas where access to a large amount of text is helpful, please contact us. We encourage the
use of public domain materials for these purposes and may be able to help.
+ Maintain attributionTht GoogXt "watermark" you see on each file is essential for in forming people about this project and helping them find
additional materials through Google Book Search. Please do not remove it.
+ Keep it legal Whatever your use, remember that you are responsible for ensuring that what you are doing is legal. Do not assume that just
because we believe a book is in the public domain for users in the United States, that the work is also in the public domain for users in other
countries. Whether a book is still in copyright varies from country to country, and we can't offer guidance on whether any specific use of
any specific book is allowed. Please do not assume that a book's appearance in Google Book Search means it can be used in any manner
anywhere in the world. Copyright infringement liabili^ can be quite severe.

the campus, history and purpose
location
Alma College Is located on a beautiful, heavily wooded campus of fifty-seven
acres adjacent to the city of Alma, Michigan, at almost the geographical
center of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan. Alma is fifty miles north of Lansing
on Highway 27, forty miles west of Saginaw on Highway 46, and ninety
miles northeast of Grand Rapids on Highways 131 and 46.
history and purpose
In October, 1886, at the meeting of the Presbyterian Synod of Michigan in
Westminster Church, Grand Rapids, action was taken which caused a co-edu-
cational college to be established at Alma, the doors opening on September
12, 1887. Mr. Alexander Folsom pledged fifty thousand dollars, and Mr.
Ammi W. Wright led the citizens of Alma in offering two buildings, which hod
already been erected for educational purposes, valued at forty thousand
dollars.
During the first years the campus consisted of Old Main, the Chemistry Build-
ing, the Library, the Hood Museum, and Pioneer Hall. The construction of the
Dunning Memorial Chapel began a new era In the life of the college. Since
that time renewed interest in the College has resulted in the gifts of the Jerry
Tyler Student Center, Von Dusen Commons, the Reid-Knox Administration
building, and Mary C Gelston Hall. A new science building will soon be
erected.
Consistent with the original action of Synod, Alma College today is owned
and controlled by the Presbyterian Church of Michigan and operated for
the Synod by a Board of Trustees elected by the Synod.
In association with forty other Presbyterian colleges. Alma has adopted the
Standards which hove been approved by the Board of Christian Education
of the Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A., which the institution has followed
since its founding.
In June, 1957, the Synod of Michigan reaffirmed its action of 1886 by adopt-
ing the following statement of Preliminary Principles:
"In keeping with the historic devotion of the Church to the unfettered search
for truth and hence its necessary involvement in higher education, it is the
concern of the Presbyterian Church that Alma College be a community 'open
20
history
to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, without uncertainty of Insincerity'
(James 3), loyal to the truth as revealed In Jesus Christ. Such openness may
be known only In an atmosphere of freedom and the Church, therefore,
recognizes Its own responsibility for respecting the freedom of the Trustees,
the Administration, the Faculty, the Alumni and the Students of Alma College
as the educational program is specifically defined and administered. This is
congenial to our Presbyterian tradition which accepts the principles that
'God alone is Lord of the conscience, and hath left it free from the doctrine
and commandments of men, which are in anything contrary to His word,
or beside it in matters of faith or worship'. There are, however, certain princi-
ples of the Christian faith by which the Presbyterian Church would ask that
the college community be guided.
"First, since the vocation of the college community is to seek truth and to
cause its students to grow in the knowledge and possession of it in the whole
self, the principles of intellectual competence on the part of those who teach
is of primary concern. Such competence is more than a matter of information,
it also is a quality of mind, reverent before the wholeness of truth and not
limited even if primarily concerned, to its expression through a particular
field of knowledge, ready to grow in further understanding, and capable of
communicating its understandings to those who learn.
"Second, since 'truth is in order to goodness' and not separated from the
responsibilities of the person in the many relationships of life, the principle
of personal Integrity is another first concern. This integrity is both an inward
dedication to truth and an outward respect for one's fellows. The concern for
subject matter must be accompanied by an equal concern and respect for
the student and for the total life of the college community.
'Third, since the experience of the individual in college is an experience
involving growth in personal values and social relationships that help define
the responsibilities of membership in the religious, cultural and political areas
of life (as well as intellectual discipline) the principle of community is a still
further first concern. The spirit of community is not to be understood artificially.
It is created neither by a statement of intention nor by any compulsion to
belief or behavior. It is the spirit which joins Individuals together and which
proceeds from the common purpose of these several principles— a purpose
within which differences are respected and accepted, but always within this
purpose and not \n denial of it.
'The Presbyterian Church, therefore. In the light of these principles expects
that Alma College shall be a place which knows a quality of spirit and of
leadership in which the pursuit of truth may become best favored, and de-
clares to the College the support both of its educational venture and its
material needs that Church and College together may proclaim the Glory
of God and add to the dignity of man."

A complete health report provided by the family physician is required of all
entering students. A recent smallpox immunization (within the past three
years) is required; also a tuberculin test taken not longer than one year
before the date of admission. The necessary forms are sent to the student be-
fore the opening of college. These procedures ore measures of public health
and are needed for the protection of the other students in college, as well as
for the protection of the applicant.
Parents are notified in the event of a severe illness. The student or his
parent selects the physician when consultation is required. In cases of emerg-
ency, when the parents are not available, one of the deans acts as guardian
for the student.
In order further to insure adequate medical and surgical care for its students
in the event of serious Illness or accidents, the College offers an insurance
program designed to meet the expense of hospitalization, medical and
surgical fees, and other costs. Details of the Insurance benefits are found in
the insurance policy.
record and picture lending libraries
A picture lending library was begun in 1956 and made available for student
use a number of reproductions of masterpieces and outstanding pictures
produced by the students of the Art Department. The pictures are loaned by
the Art Department for the use of students in their rooms.
A collection of classical and modern records is similarly available for student
loan through the Department of Music and the Library.

student conduct
policies governing student conduct
The College expects the student to conduct himself in accordance with the
ideals for which Alma College stands and to observe the rules and customs
governing student conduct. Whenever possible students are encouraged to
handle disciplinary problems through their own governmental organizations.
Matters requiring serious disciplinary measures are handled by the student-
faculty Judicial Committee.
The following specific policies ore called to the attention of the students.
Alma College is opposed to the use of alcoholic beverages on the port of
its students. Any student whose conduct Indicates a lack of conformity to
this policy Is subject to disciplinary action. Persons who for any reason feel
unwilling or unable to support this standard should not enroll at Alma.
automobiles
Students who wish to use automobiles on the campus must register the car
with the Dean of Men at the beginning of the school year. Any student having
a car at his disposal must give evidence that it is properly Insured.
supervisions
All college halls of residence Including fraternities are required to have a
resident head, or housemother, who serves as chaperon and has general
supervision of the house.
Whenever women are entertained in men's housing, the head resident must
be present. Specified calling hours are set up for both men's and women's
residences.
overnight permission for women students
Parental wishes are followed regarding overnight visits away from the
campus. All over night visits must be registered with the head resident and
must conform to the stated parental policy.

academic information
academic policies
registration procedures
Every student is required to register at the beginning of each semester. IHe
must present himself for registration at the time announced. Registration Days
ore specified in the College Calendar and registration after the date announc-
ed will require the student to pay a late registration fee of five dollars.
pre-registrotion
A two-week period prior to the close of the semester is designated as a time
for students to meet with their advisers to consider their programs for the
coming semester. This time is spent considering the student's planned program
for his ensuing semesters as well as the one immediately following. The
student makes his choice of courses and receives the approval of his program
by the academic adviser.
maximum and minimum semester hour loads
A student is expected to enroll in fifteen hours per semester to progress at
the normal rate of speed toward graduation at the end of four years.
A student who enrolls in less than 1 2 semester hours is considered to be a
special student unless he is in his senior year. If the student's point overage
is sufficiently low the adviser may request that he enroll in less than 15 hours
but not less than 1 2.
To enroll in more than 17 semester hours a student must hove received a 2.00
average the semester previous to his enrollment In the extra hours. He is not
allowed to register for more than 20 semester hours unless he receives per-
mission from the Academic Standards and Credits Committee. For each hour
of enrollment beyond 16 the student is charged by the hour at the extra hour
rate as given under Fees.
auditing of courses
With the consent of the instructor a student who is registered for 1 2 hours may
audit courses without additional charge. A student who audits a course may
not participate in any of the requirements of the classroom work. Therefore,
auditing of applied work, such as art studio, laboratories, piano, organ, and
voice, is not allowed.
45
academic policits
change of dost ragistrotion
A student may enter a class for one week after the day that classes begin in o
semester. This change of registration is established by obtaining a change of
registration form from the Registrar's Office, having the adviser approve the
change in his program, and receiving the permission of the instructor to enter
his class. Notice of the change in registration is then sent by the Registrar to
the instructor whose class he is entering and to the instructor from whose
class he is withdrawing.
withdrowol from o ckns
Withdrawal without penalty from a class may be mode only through the
end of the third week of a semester and with the permission of the adviser
and the Registrar. After the third week a student may not withdraw from a
ckass without receiving on "E" grade except by special permission. This
special permission is granted only upon the presentation of a petition to
the Academic Standards and Qedits Committee which, if granted, will allow
the removal of the enrollment from the students record.
withdrawal from alma college
A course of study, once begun, will be considered by the college as a dec-
laration of intention by the student to finish the semester. If, for reasons
of illness, or other reasons beyond the control of the student, he is unable
to finish his work, he must notify the Dean of Men or Dean of Women of his
reasons for wishing to leave the Q>llege, moke all arrangements with the
Business Office and notify the Registrar. Written assent of a parent or
guardian is required of any student under twenty-one years of age.
If the student leaves without notifying the college of his reasons for doing so,
he will receive the grade of ''WF'' in all classes and no arrangements can be
mode to refund his tuition.
If the student leaves because of illness or other reasons beyond his control, his
record will be recorded as "WD" (Withdrew Passing) and arrangements will
be made to pro-rote his charges. (See refunds.)
A student is granted honorable dismissal when he withdraws from the college
if he is not subject to discipline or has been suspended.
grades
The scholastic standing of a student is evaluated by the following grades: A,
excellent; B, good; C, average; D, poor; E, failure.
The grade of I (incomplete) may be used to indicate that although the work
done is of passing grade, some port of the course remains unfinished because
of illness or for some other reoson over which the student has no control.
The instructor may give the grade of I subject to the approval of the Dean
46
acodemie policies
and the Registrar. In the event that a student receives the grade of 1, he must
arrange to complete his work within six weelcs after the end of the semester or
the grade will automatically become an E.
The grade of WD is given if the student withdraws from the College Isecause
of illness or reasons beyond his control.
The grade of WF is given if the student withdraws from the G)llege without
permission or reason.
point system
The point system is used to indicate the scholastic attainment of the student.
Under this system honor points are assigned for each letter grade as follows:
on A gives three points for each semester hour; a B, two points; a C, one
point; a D, no points; on E, minus one point; on I, no points; WF, minus one
point; WD, no points.
To compute the student's point average for the semester the total number of
honor points which he receives at the end of a semester is divided by
the total number of hours In which the student was registered in that semester.
probation, retention and dismissal
A minimum grade point average of 1.00 is required for graduation, which
means that in every case the number of honor points must equal or exceed
the total number of credit hours. At the close of each semester the grade point
average of every student whose record falls below the minimum standard Is
reviewed by the Academic Standards and Credits Committee.
In general, action will be taken upon each individual case and will follow in
accordance with the scale given below. This does not imply that an action
may follow exactly the following scale if circumstances justify special action.
The Committee, therefore, may retain or dismiss a student upon the individual
circumstances of the case.
Probation: This is on intermediate academic standing between satisfactory
standing and standing leading to dismissal. The standing iDelow which a
student Is placed on probation Is:
End of the Semester First Second Third Fourth Fifth or more
Cumulative Average 0.80 0.80 1.00 1.00 1.00
Previous semester
Average 0.80 0.80 0.80 0.80
Dismissal: A student will be considered for dismissal when either his cumulative
point overage falls below 0.00 at the end of his first semester, iDelow 0.60
at the end of his second semester, below 0.80 at the end of his third
semester, or below a 1 .00 at the end of his fourth semester or thereafter, or,
if his standing has placed him on probation for three consecutive semesters.
A student may apply to the Academic Standards and Credits committee after
one semester has elapsed to hove his record reviewed for readmission.
47
academic policies
eligibility
Participation in the competitive sports of the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic
Association requires that the student have a 1.00 average in the semester
previous to his participation.
A cumulative average of 1.00 is required by the college for eligibility for
rushing and membership in any fraternity or sorority.
attendonce
The college requires regular attendance of students at classes, convocations
and chapels. A student who must be absent from a class is expected to inform
his instructor of his reasons for absence. An excessive number of absences may
result in a penalty for the student.
Convocations and chapels are regularly held twice a week and the student
is allowed one or two absences from these a month. Each absence over and
beyond the number allowed will result in the subtraction of one-half an honor
point from the studenf s semester record.
examinations
Examinations are held at the close of each semester and at intervals during
the semester, at the discretion of the instructor.
Final examinations are written and are two hours in length. A period of one
week at the end of each semester is designated as final examination week.
No regular classes are held during that week.
A fee of five dollars shall be charged for all announced examinations given
at other than the scheduled time. Permission to take an examination at a time
other than the regularly scheduled time must be obtained from the instructor
and the Dean of the Faculty.
proficiency examinations
Freshmen who have not been previously enrolled at any other college may
receive advanced credit through proficiency examinations for college courses
the subject matter of which they have mastered prior to their enrollment at
Alma College.
Students who wish to take advantage of this program may apply for these
proficiency examinations to the Board of Examiners at the time of their
admission to Alma College or during their first semester of residence. The
application must be accompanied by a fee of $5.00 for each examination.
This fee will not be returned unless the application is rejected. For freshmen
who enter in September the proficiency examinations will be given during the
Orientation Week In September and during the first week in January. For
freshmen who enter at the beginning of the second semester the examina-
48
academic policies
tions will be given just prior to registration and during the first week in May.
Application for the September examinations must be made by August 1, for
the January examinations by December 1, for the examinations given just
prior to second semester registration by January 1, and for the May examin-
ations by April 1.
To pass a proficiency examination the student must demonstrate a level
of proficiency which is at least equal to the proficiency of students who have
passed the corresponding college course with a grade of C. The examination
in certain subjects may be a practical as well as a written examination.
While these examinations give a student credits towards graduation and
major and minor requirements, no honor points can be earned in this
manner; therefore, credit earned through proficiency examinations will not
be included in calculating the student's honor point average. Failed examina-
tions are not recorded.
No proficiency examinations will be given for the following courses:
(a) Courses which are equivalent to any of the first fifteen academic
units which a student offers for college entrance.
(b) Courses which are less intensive than another course which covers the
some field of human knowledge (that is, a student may take a
proficiency examination for Chemistry 1 1, but not for Chemistry 13).
(c) Courses in applied music and studio art with the exception of Art
15-16.
(d) Reading and problems courses whose subject matter varies from
year to year and depends on the student's interest and previous
attainment.
If a student desires to take a proficiency examination for an advanced course
he can receive credit for this course only if he is establishing credit for all
its pre-requisites.
A student who has failed a proficiency examination may not apply for re-
examination.
correspondence work
Alma College does not offer work by correspondence. Nine semester hours
of work by correspondence with an accredited institution will be accepted
toward the requirements for the degree, but not more. These hours may not
be accepted by Alma College if the student has not obtained from the Aca-
demic Standards and Credits Committee permission to enroll in these hours.
A student should not attempt to carry work by correspondence while en-
rolled in a full-time program on the campus. Correspondence work taken
during the summer must be completed by September 10 and a transcript
which shows the work is completed must be on file in the Registrar's Office
by that time.
49
academic policies
of students
Students ore classified as regular, full-time students If they carry 12 hours
or more. Students carrying less than 12 hours are classified as special
students (unless they are candidates for the degree and in their last year
of residence).
Classification of the student is based on the fact that Alma graduates its
students only once a year, in June. Students are therefore classified in the
fall semester with the minimum requirements for the three classes being:
seniors must have earned 86 semester hours of credits; juniors, 56; and
sophomores, 24.
To be classified as a senior in the spring semester a senior must hove earned
a minimum of 103 credits and be enrolled for such classes as will allow him
to t>e graduated in June. Juniors must have earned 70 credits; and sopho-
mores must have earned 40 credits.
degrees
Alma College offers work leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts (B.A.),
Bachelor of Science (B.S.), and Bachelor of Music Education (B.M.E.). The
degree of Bachelor of Science will be conferred upon students who have
had at least sixty hours of their college work in science and mathematics,
if they prefer this degree. The degree of Bachelor of Music Education will
be granted to those who complete the requirements as listed under the
Department of Music.
honors
A student who has 2.75 for his point average will be graduated summa
cum laude; 2.50, magna cum laude; 2.25, cum laude. A graduate to be
eligible for honors as solutatorian or valedictorian of his class must have
been in residence only in Alma College.
requirements for the degree
All students will be expected to meet the following requirements in order
to qualify for formal recommendation by the faculty to the Board of Trustees
for the degrees of Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, or Bachelor of
Music Education.
residence requirement
A student will not l>e recommended for a degree unless he has spent at
least one year on the campus which must be, as a rule, the year immediately
preceding graduation.
50
dagreo requirements
hour requiranMnt
120 hours are required for graduation.
point average requirement
A cumulative point average of 1 .00 is required for graduation.
group requirements for the degree
English Language and Literature: English 11-12, Written and Spoken
English, are required of all students. Those who achieve a high level of
proficiency in English 1 1 may be exempt from English 12 at the discretion of
the Written and Spoken English teaching staff. In addition to English 11-12,
English 22 (Introduction to Literature), is required for graduation. Uppercloss-
men may l3e required to take an additional composition course if their work in
any course shows serious deficiency in writing skill. Students may be referred
to this course upon the recommendation of one course instructor and failure
to pass a proficiency test administered by the English Department.
Foreign Language: It is required that a student present the equivalent of the
elementary and intermediate levels of one foreign language for graduation.
Ail students who have not completed the language requirement must regis-
ter for a language course in tiieir first or second year. In the event that a
student has presented two units of language for entrance, only six semester
hours of that same language will be required for graduation. If the student
is able to demonstrate that he has attained a standard equal to the second
year course, it is not necessary for the student to enroll in a language while
in residence.
Mathematics and Science: A one-year course in a laboratory science must
be presented for graduation. This may be Biology 11-12, Chemistry 11-12
or 13-14, Physics 11-12 or 21-22, Geology 11-12, Natural Science 11-12,
or Psychology 24 and 37. Two semesters from different courses do not satis-
fy this requirement.
In addition, achievement of a satisfactory score which is determined by
the Mathematics Department on the Freshman Mathematics Entrance Exam-
ination, or satisfactory completion of Mathematics 01-02, must be presented
for graduation.
Social and Political Science: Twelve semester hours taken in one or all of
the following four fields ore required for graduation: Economics, IHistory,
Political Science, Social Science and Sociology. Six hours of Philosophy may
be used in partial fulfillment of the above requirement.
Humanities: Nine semester hours in humanities are required, including English
22. The other six hours must be taken from courses Art 1 3, Music 1 3, and/or
Humanities 1 1 and 1 2. This requirement will begin with the class entering in
September, 1956.
SI
degree requirements
Religion: Eight semester hours ore required. (Non-Protestonts may substitute
courses in Philosophy.) Religion 11 and 12 must be included in the require-
ment of eight semester hours and they must be taken in either the first or
second year. An adjustment in the requirement for graduation will be mode
for students who transfer to Alma College at the sophomore level or beyond
without credit in Religion.
Physical Education: Two activity units in Physical Education ore required for
graduation. For those students who present a medical excuse from physical
education a substitution of activity units in other areas will be required for
graduation. Physical Education is required in the freshman year and must be
token during that time unless the student is excused by the Dean of Men or
the Dean of Women.
major and minor requirements
Not later than the beginning of the junior year each student shall select the
field of his major concentration. He must moke application to the head of
the department in which he wishes to major. Twenty-four hours of work in
one subject field must be presented for the major. A minor of fifteen hours in
one subject field with another fifteen hours specified and planned with the
assistance of and approval of the adviser will be required in addition to the
major.
Although a minimum number of twenty-four hours is stated as the require-
ment it is not the understanding that a series of unrelated courses shall
satisfy this requirement. The student and adviser are expected to plan a
coherent unified program of studies. In advising a student an adviser may
well have in mind courses which ore prerequisite for satisfactory work in
graduate or professional schools.
Detailed information concerning possible majors Is given in the announcement
of each department as published in this catalogue. The following departments
offer majors: Art, Biology, Business Administration, Chemistry, Economics,
Education, English, French, History, Mathematics, Music, Philosophy, Physical
Education (Men), Physics, Psychology, Religion, Sociology, Spanish, and
Speech.
chapel requirements
Regular attendance at chapel and convocations is required.
activity unit requirements
Each student will earn six activity units for graduation.
Students who transfer into Alma College will be required to present one and
one-half activity units for graduation for each year spent on the campus.
Therefore a student who transfers in as a sophomore will be required to pre-
sent four and one half units; as a junior, three; as a senior, one and one-half.

pre-engineering cooperative plan with the university of
michigan
In the cooperative agreement between Alma College and the University of
Michigan the student spends three years at Alma College and then a summer
session and four semesters at the University. At the end of five years the
student would normally have received a bachelor's degree from both a liberal
arts college and an engineering school. This offers opportunity for a wider
acquaintance with the humanities and the social sciences than is possible in a
four-year engineering program. Students may also transfer to the University
of Michigan after two years at Alma College. Those who transfer after either
two or three years should enter the University of Michigan summer session
after the last semester at Alma to meet the necessary sequence of studies.
One summer session is required In all regular programs in Engineering at the
University of Michigan. Those who wish to transfer should correspond with
the Assistant Dean of the Engineering College.
The following curriculum leads to degrees in Aeronautical, Civil, Electrical,
Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, and degrees in Engineering, Mathe-
matics, Engineering Physics, Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering:

pre-professional curricula
pre-dental
It would be wise for a student who wishes to enter dental school to contact
the one he wishes to enter and procure from It the requirements for admis-
sion. Most schools of dentistry will require that a student present the following
to be considered for admission:
1 . Six hours of English composition.
2. One and one-half years of Chemistry which should include inorganic
and six hours of organic.
3. One year of Biology.
4. One year of Physics.
5. A total of at least sixty hours of college work which should include
the above subjects.
Students may follow the pre-medical curriculum set up below.
pre-medical
Entrance to most medical schools requires that the student have: English 11-12,
Chemistry 11-12, 31-32 (Chemistry 21, prerequisite to Chemistry 32), Physics
11-12, Biology 11-12, 31-32, French or German (2 years in one language),
and a grade average of at least 1 .50.
These are minimum requirements. Very few applicants are accepted who
meet only the minimum requirements or have only three years of undergrad-
uate work. Medical schools stress the need to secure a liberal arts education.
Exceptional students who hope to enter medical school for their fourth year
of work toward the baccalaureate degree must complete 90 hours of work
acceptable to the medical school. The outline given below cannot be strictly
adhered to because some courses listed ore offered only in alternate years.

psychology
ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR KLUGH, ASSISTANT PROFESSOR DETERLINE.
The purposes of the Department of Psychology ore: (1) training for students entering the
Riedical, theological, industrial, and educational areas, so that these individuals whose primary
vocational concern Is dealing with human beings may have a rather precise understanding
of the predictability of human behavior; (2) preparation of students for graduate study leading
to an advanced degree in psychology; (3) instruction of the student whose vocational concern
is primarily outside the area of human behavior so that he may appreciate the dynamics of
human behavior and understand something of the reasons for his own behavior patterns and
those of his associates. The psychology major who does not plan to take graduate work will
find vocational opportunities primarily in sales, personnel and social service areas, areas In
which the primary concern is dealing with human beings.
The student majoring In psychology Is required to demonstrate breadth of understanding In
the general field of psychology. Including particularly the areas of experimental psychology
