GENERAL STATEMENT

Through extension work in Harrisburg, evening classes at the col-
lege in Annville, and summer school, Lebanon Valley College has for
many years enabled many students to obtain college courses and secure
academic degrees while continuing their regular occupations. By a
careful selection of courses and consultation with the heads of the de-
partments of the college or the director of extension and evening classes,
a student can meet the requirements of the college for a baccalaureate
degree while earning a livelihood.

All extension and evening courses are taught by full time members
of the college faculty. The courses offered in extension and evening
class work are so alternated from year to year that a student can read-
ily secure those required for graduation.

ACADEMIC STANDING

Lebanon Valley College is fully accredited by the Department of
Public Instruction of Pennsylvania, the American Association of Col-
leges, and Secondary Schools of the Middle Atlantic States and Mary-
land, and the American Association of University Women. It is a
member of the American Council on Education.

LOCATION

The college is situated at Annville, twenty-one miles east of Har-
risburg on the Benjamin Franklin Highway.

COURSES OF STUDY

Lebanon Valley College offers two courses of study leading to the
Baccalaureate degree:

(1) A course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts (A. B.)

(2) A course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science (B. S.)

The total number of credits required of candidates for these degrees,
is in each case, 125 semester hours of academic credits and 4 in physical
education. (Extension and evening class students are not required to
have the work in physical education.)

Candidates for degrees must also obtain a minimum of 130 quality
points, computed as follows: for a grade A, 3 points for each credit
hour; for a grade B, 2 points for each credit hour; for a grade of C, 1
point for each credit hour. No quality credit will be given for a grade
of D.

As pai't of this total requirement, every candidate must present at
least 24 semester hours in one department (to be known as the Major),
and at least 18 semester hours in another department (to be known as
his Minor). Majors in Education are required to take two Minors. Both
Major and Minor must be selected not later than the beginning of the
Junior year, the Minor to be suitably related to the Major, and chosen
with the advice and approval of the Head of the Major department.

The A. B. degree will be awarded to those fulfilling the require-
ments for a Major in the following departments: Bible and New Testa-
ment Greek, English, French, German, Greek, History, Latin,
Mathematics (Arts option). Political and Social Science, Philosophy and
Religion. The B. S. degree will be awarded to those fulfilling the
requirements for a Major in the following departments: Biology,
Chemistry, Mathematics (Science option). Physics, Business Administra-
tion, Education, and Music Education,

mately 60 semester hours, though each case is evaluated individually.
A total of 126 hours of academic credits is required. For full information
