TUCK SCHOOL FACULTY PLANS CHANGED FIRST YEAR COURSE

In line with the policy of effecting closer correlation of courses, the faculty of the Tuck School has adopted plans for the reorganization of first year work. Effective next year, the courses in Business Organization and in Marketing Organization and Methods now given in the second semester only, will be expanded into full courses beginning in the first semester and continuing through the year. Economics IS, 19, 20, and 51 will no longer be required of first year men, but will be replaced by new courses in Financial Organization and Industrial Relations which will be given exclusively for Tuck School men by Professors Keir and Leffler, respectively.

Under the new plan, the work of the first year becomes more definitely a unit with the second year, separated from undergraduate courses and devoted exclusively to the fundamentals of business administration. For seniors, who are also enrolled in the Tuck School, the work of the first year constitutes the major required for a Bachelor's degree.

Plans for the revision of second year work, made possible by the changes in first year courses, are also under consideration. A new course in Business research will be offered by Professor Tapley. The course in Business Engineering introduced this year in co-operation with the faculty of the Thayer School, will be continued as a permanent part of the Tuck School curriculum. Requirements for vacation employment in business will be more definite and further applications of psychological tests as a basis of rating intelligence and of employment advice will be provided for.
