University Of Virginia
Alter Requirements
For Education Degree
speeioI p,,po,eh 10 The s,or

CHARLOTTESVILLE. Va. June
10.-The University Of Virginia
Department Of Education has re-
|vised its degree requirements tc
give prospective teachers more op-
portunity for obtaining a broat
educational background while spe.
cializing in the subjects they ex.
pect to teach.
Young men and women prepar-
ing to teach will be required tC
take two or three times as much
work in their fields as under the
old requirements.
Lindley j. Stiles, dean of the
Department Of Education, today
announced the new degree re-
FquirementS for bachelor Of science
in education. They were ap-
proved by the Board of Visitors
'after action by the education fac
ulty and the University Senate.
Under. the revised course of
study to be offered for the first
time during the summer session
beginning June 26. prospective
teachers will obtain broader back
grounds in general studies. There
will be more specialization in
teaching fields. plus professional
study and guidance in all under
graduate work.
Requirements in general educa-
tion include IL semester hours of
English. with one course In speech
and one course in literature or
creative writing; IL semester hours
In social studies. with six hours
in American history; six hours In
natural science or mathematics,
six hours in mental and physical
health. and nine hours Of electives,
with courses in art. music, drama,
speech and literature recon-
mended.
Heretofore. professional courses
have been concentrated in the last
two years. Under the new plan
introduction to education and
child growth and development will
be studied in the first year. The
prospective teacher will continue
professional study under super
vised guidance during all four
years.
Dean Stiles explained that the
number Of professional courses
were reduced by nearly one third
to eliminate overlapping. Only
six hours Of undergraduate pro-
fessional training are concerned
primarily with methods Of teach
ing.
The professional course plan is
being set up for those who want
to teach In elementary or in the
secondary schools. Students will
be encouraged to prepare to teach
in both grade and high schools.
The need for elementary school
teachers Is pressing because of the
large number Of children just en-
tering school or in the lower
grades. Dean Stiles explained
that teachers are being encouraged
TO start in the elementary schools,
but to be prepared to move up into
high schools with the increasing
of students.
The revised curriculum leading
TO the degree Of bachelor Of science
N education is the second recent
change made by the Department
of Education. Earlier this ses-
sion graduate degree requirements
we're announced leading to the
new degrees of master of educa- (.
ion and doctor of education. /
