Through its curriculum, which is interpreted to include all of the students' out-of-class activities as well as the instruction proper, the institution aims to realize its objectives. Weber College maintains, at considerable expense, a continuous curriculum building program to meet the needs of its four major groups of students. It is the aim of the institution to keep its curricula sensitive to social changes and to community needs. Weber College has surveyed local areas and in the light of its findings has developed a program of studies which includes: (1) college preparatory work for the student who desires to continue his studies at the university; (2) terminal work for the student who desires a general and cultural education; (3) terminal work for the student who desires vocational education of two years' duration; and (4) terminal short courses for the student who can attend college only a limited time. A grant of $6,000 from the General Board of Education and $3,000 from the State Board of Education is being used in the development of such curricula. It is apparent, therefore, that the program of studies is broad in scope, as well as diversified, functional, and appealing to many types of interest and to varying degrees of student capacity.

Authorities on the junior college point out three occupational areas: (1) the professions, the training for which requires a college course of at least four years' duration and a degree; (2) the semi-professions, the training for which requires the completion of a college course of approximately two years in length; and (3) the trades. The Terminal Division is established in order that students may qualify for the latter two occupational areas and for cultural education. |
