128 COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS
The general science major leads to the Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science
degree. The special requirements are-a minimum of 72 term hours in science
(biology, chemistry, geology, mathematics, physics), distributed as follows: (1)
Four year sequences, numbered 100-110 or 200-210, one in each of four science
departments. (2) A minimum of 24 upper-division hours in science, including not
less than 9 term hours in each of two science departments.
Subject Preparation for High-School Teaching. For certification as a
teacher of general science in Oregon high schools, the student's program must
include the subject-preparation requirements of the Oregon State Department
of Education. These requirements are: for a basic certificate, granted after four
years of college work, a basic norm-36 term hours of college science, including
work in biology, general chemistry, and general physics; for a standard certificate,
granted after five years of college work, a standard norm-54 term hours of
college science, including the basic-norm requirement and work in earth sciences.
These requirements will be mandatory after July 1, 1965. The minimum subject
requirements for students who qualify for certification before this date are
published in the 1962-63 University Catalog, page 262.

General Social Science
THE PROGRAM IN GENERAL SOCIAL SCIENCE includes a series of
courses of broad interdepartmental scope and a major curriculum in general social
science leading to the bachelor's degree.
The curriculum in general social science is designed for students who wish
broad cultural training, and for prospective teachers for whom a departmental
major may be too highly specialized. In addition to satisfying the general University
requirements, students following this program must take a minimum of 72
hours in social science courses. This work must include four lower-divisioil year
sequences, one in each of four of the following fields: anthropology, economics,
geography, history, philosophy, political science, psychology, religion, sociology.
Introduction to the Social Sciences (Honors College) (SSc 201,202,203) may be
substituted for anyone of the four required sequences. The upper-division work
must include two one-year sequences (not less than 18 hours) in one social science
department, and one one-year sequence (not less than 9 hours) in each of two
other social science departments.
Subject Preparation for High-School Teaching. For certification as a
teacher of social studies in Oregon high schools, the student's program must
