Show INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS TRANSFERRING TO SENIOR INSTITUTIONS Weber College recognizes that there is some variation between the lower division requirements of colleges and universities. It is highly desirable, therefore, for a student who plans to transfer to a senior college to plan his program in accordance with the requirements of the institution to which he plans to transfer. Realizing that it may be advantageous to the student to know the requirements of the senior colleges in the State, we list the lower division requirements for the following schools: UNIVERSITY OF UTAH Admission Requirements: A candidate to the freshman class must present an official statement from an approved high school showing that the candidate has completed satisfactorily a full high school course and has earned at least 15 units of high school work in subjects recognized by the University. The candidate must also have completed at least 10 basic units in groups 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, as follows: Group 1. English composition, Literature and Speech fundamentals. Group 2. Algebra, Plane Geometry, Solid Geometry, Trigonometry. Group 3. General Science, Physiography, Biology, Botany, Physiology, Zoology, Physics, Chemistry, Astronomy. Group 4. United States history and civics, European history, general history, Ethics of Citizenship, Economics, Sociology, Psychology, Education, and a maximum of one-half unit in Commercial Geography or Commercial Law. Group 5. French, German, Spanish, Latin, Greek. Three units in English and one unit in Algebra are required in all colleges of the University. In the College of Engineering, three units in Mathematics, including IV2 units in Algebra, 1 unit in Plane Geometry, and 1 unit in Group 3 are required. An applicant over 19 years of age may be admitted under special conditions. (See University of Utah Catalogue.) Lower Division Requirements: Specific Course Requirements: 1. General Education 1 (Freshman Orientation) 2. Basic Communication 11, 12 and 13 (9 hours); or English 1, 2 and Speech 1 (9 hours) 3. Physical Education 1 (3 approved courses) or Physical Education 1 and Military Training (3 approved courses) 4. Health Education 1 Area Requirements: The University of Utah will accept the completion of Weber College Area Requirements, as published in the Weber College catalogue under Requirements for Associate of Arts or Sciences, as the equivalent of the University of Utah requirements. Curricula Requirements: Where there is a specific curriculum prescribed, such as the College of Engineering, a student should complete that specific curriculum as outlined in the Weber College catalogue. General Requirements: For a Bachelor's degree, a student must complete a minimum of 183 quarter hours credit, 60 hours of which must be upper division work. Junior College credit will be accepted on the same basis as university lower division credit toward the completion of these requirements. The University reserves the right to reject transfer credit of "D" or barely passing. Transfer students from other schools in Utah are required to present an average of "C" or better in their most recent work as well as in the total to be considered for admission. UTAH STATE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE Admission Requirements: Entrance with college standing is based upon (a) graduation from an accredited high school or (b) upon presentation of fifteen approved high school units of work or (c) by examination of those students eighteen years of age or older who have had other training. Students who have not been graduated from high school and who are presenting fifteen approved units for entrance may include one unit of credit for military science or one unit of physical education, but not more than one unit in combination. Lower Division Requirements: Specific Course Requirements: 1. English composition, English 10 or its equivalent. 2. Physical Education or Military Science (6 hours). 3. Prepare a foundation of at least 15 credits for the field of specialized study in the upper division. Group Requirements: A total of 40 credits must be selected from the Biological Science, Exact Science, Language, and Arts, and Social Science, with not less than eight nor more than twelve being counted in any one group. Curricula Requirements: Where there is a specific curriculum prescribed, such as the School of Engineering, completion for the curricula listed substitutes for the Group Requirements. The Utah State Agricultural College states "The completion of the group requirements in any accredited collegiate institution will substitute for the completion of group requirements at this institution." General Requirements: For a Bachelor's Degree, a student must complete a minimum of 186 quarter hours credit, 60 hours of that 186 must be in upper- division work and must have been earned in a four-year institution. Junior-college credit will be accepted on the same basis as college lower-division credit for the completion of these requirements. |
