 JUNIOR COLLEGE EDUCATION
 It will be possible for the individual student to arrange a program under the Sec-
ondary Education curriculum which will provide the basis for later graduate work lead-
ing to an advanced degree and certification for teaching in the public junior colleges of
Florida. Courses which the student takes in his First Area of Concentration must in-
clude the necessary foundation for satisfactorily pursuing a minimum of twelve semester
hours of graduate level work in the field to be taught. Professional study at the grad-
uate level will be arranged to meet individual needs and will include selected courses
in Junior College Education. Prospective junior college teachers are invited to discuss
their plans with the head of the Secondary Education Department.
