The conditions for admission to the Freshman Class, or an advanced standing, are the same as for admission to the Agricultural Course.

The object of this course is to give a scientific training and to furnish a liberal and practical education for young women in the active pursuits of life. Not merely to adorn the young woman for social life, but to strengthen and develop her mental powers in actually the same ratio as the young man's, fitting her to fill any branch of industry that may be opened to her as well as preparing her for the more important position of caring for the home. This course is in the main identical with the course for young men for the first two years, with a stronger tendency toward the classical, and providing also opportunity for instruction in Domestic Economy and advancement in the Fine Arts during the last two years of College life.

Each graduate of this course is entitled to the degree of Bachelor of Science on presentation of a satisfactory thesis.
