Faculty advising is a serv­ ice offered to students; however each student is responsible for choosing courses and fulfilling graduation requirements. Students must plan freshman or sophomore programs which will permit them to enter or take advanced courses in fields they may want to pursue. They should be sure to begin or complete requirements such as mathemati cs, chemistry or a foreign language early in their academic careers. Students anticipating graduate or professional studyshould exercise spe• cial care in planning undergraduate programs and seek faculty counseling in the field of interest. Advance examination of the possibilities of graduate or professional study will be helpful to students who have clear educational and vocational objectives. Undecided Majors Students who are uncertain about their primary educa­ tional or vocational goals may enroll as undecided majors. However, th ey should select the department that most closely reflec t their general interests and consult that department 's office for academic assistance. During their freshman and sophomore years, such students should explore their inter­ ests and potential by enrolling in a set of courses recom­ mended by the department 's advisor. Planning a Major Program \Vhen students have selected a major field , they should study all the requirements which are specified in this catalog under their chosen degree program.
