WEBER COLLEGE - OGDEN, UTAH 19 GENERAL INFORMATION Purpose Weber College is a Junior College. Weber College is a two-year institution of college grade which offers courses designed to serve three major groups of students: (1) those pre paring for upper division standing in institutions of higher learning, (2) those seeking a cultural education in courses that terminate at the end of the college sophomore year, and (3) those desiring two years of technical semi-professional training that will qualify them to enter the commercial and industrial world. The terminal-vocational courses selected by this latter group of students do not lead toward the degree of Bachelor of Arts or the Bachelor of Science. Weber College is, therefore, a junior college offering two years of either preparatory or terminal work. The function of Weber College is four-fold: Guidance: It accepts as its first responsibility the development of an enlightened citizenry. Whether the student's objective be a profession, a vocation, or a broad cultural education, he is given the foundation for intelligent citizenship, and opportunity to develop his capacity for self-government. Weber College shares, with the home and the community, responsibility for the development of personality and character. It gives educational and vocational guidance through curricular offerings and the work of administrative officers and counselors. Preparatory: It offers courses, paralleling the work of the lower division of the universities, preparatory to junior standing in the liberal arts and sciences, and in professional courses of the universities, leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science. Terminal: It provides two-year courses in the semi-professions, the arts and sciences, in trades and in industry. Such courses are complete in themselves. Communal: It aims to serve its own area in the fields of adult education; it serves as a cultural and recreational center; it surveys local needs and provides the necessary vocational courses to meet these needs; it attempts to obtain suitable employment for its students and to direct them into becoming valuable community servants. The terminal function is often misinterpreted through erroneously connecting it with the notion that two years of college work is ample education and that students with that amount are made to feel that they "have arrived." It is important to stress here the fact that it is the course only that terminates, not the education of the individual. There is no end to education just as there should be no end to growth. The responsibility of the junior college for adult education arises out of the belief that two years of college work should not terminate the education of the individual.
