Office National des Universites or the "Livrets de PEtudiant" 

 of the various Universities for the conditions of admission, courses 

 prescribed, examinations and fees incident to each of these 

 degrees. 



III. DEGREES, DIPLOMAS, AND CERTIFICATES CONFERRED 

 BY THE UNIVERSITIES. 



As has already been said above, the Universities have 

 created degrees and diplomas, either for stamping with formal 

 approval and value courses of study to which no degree or diploma 

 of the State corresponds, or for rendering it possible for foreign 

 students, by receiving credit for then- previous foreign studies, to 

 obtain diplomas which have the same scientific value as the 

 corresponding diplomas conferred by the State, but which do not 

 grant the same right to practise in France certain professions. 



Since these degrees and diplomas are created by the Univer- 

 sities themselves, the work prescribed and the fees required vary 

 from one University to another, even though the names by which 

 they are designated are the same. Furthermore, since the degrees 

 number nearly a hundred, each with its own requirements, it has 

 seemed wise to present merely a list of these degrees and diplomas 

 to indicate their variety and scope ; and then to single out for special 

 consideration a few in which American students would more likely 

 be interested. 



In the following list, which is reproduced from the Handbook of 

 the Office National des Universites et Ecoles Francaises (pp. 48- 

 52), each degree and diploma is arranged under the head of the 

 Faculty which confers it. For a complete statement of the re- 

 quirements for obtaining these various degrees, consult the Hand- 

 book or the "Livrets de 1'etudiant" issued by the various Uni- 

 versities.
