COURSE OF STUDY. 



The course of study adopted at the beginning of the school year, 1921-22, 

 was used the past year and found to be very satisfactory in most respects. 

 The course for 1923-24, however, has been revised from the twenty to 

 a sixteen hour credit basis to conform with the general revision of the 

 college course of stud3^ 



After numerous conferences with members of the various departments 

 of Michigan Agricultural College, the course, as outlined below, has 

 been adopted and will be used during the next school year. The teaching 

 staif in other divisions have expressed themselves as being delighted with 

 the possibilities it affords for a wider selection in subjects and feel that, 

 as a result, a broader type of college work will be voluntarily taken. 



Seven Majors are offered in the revised Home Economics Course : 

 General, Foods and Nutrition, Institutional Management, Clothing, Tex- 

 tiles, Related Arts and Vocational. In each of these the work is prac- 

 tically the same for the first two years. The Majors are offered to 

 permit the student to specialize in the phase of Home Economics in 

 which she is most interested. In* the junior and senior years, a minor 

 in a related subject consisting of 8 to 16 hours per year is required. In 

 some majors the minor is specified. 



All majors prepare for teaching and a student in any one of them may 

 obtain the state four year certificate to teach by electing Education 2, la, 

 and either 3, 3a or Economics 2 or 7. It is strongly recommended that 

 she take Practice Teaching, Education 3a. This certificate may be 

 changed to a life certificate at the end of four years' successful teaching. 



The General Major is designed to give students general training in 

 Foods, Nutrition, Clothing, Textiles, Home Management and Child Care,
