Departments May Approve Education Course Credits

Undergraduates of Harvard and Radcliffe will get credit for course in education with the consent of the departments in which they are majoring. Sargent Kennedy '28, Registrar, announced last night.

Formerly, credits for undergraduate courses in the philosophy and psychology of education counted towards a degree only if approved by the administration. These credits did not count for concentration or distribution, however.

The decision was made at a meeting of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences last week. Credits will probably go to those students who are planning to take the Five Year Plan towards a Master's Degree in teaching.

Up to Departments

Francis Keppell, Dean of the Faculty of Education, referred to the act as "permissive legislation," in that the decision for giving credit for education courses will be entirely in the hands of the individual departments.
