 FOREWORD 
 
 Reliable population studies indicate that the number of stu- 
 dents attending college in North Carolina will increase consider- 
 ably in the years ahead. This prediction is based upon actual and 
 anticipated population growth and the feeling that a larger num- 
 ber of our high school graduates will seek admission to college. 
 The prospect of housing and teaching this growing flood of 
 college youth is already being given due consideration by both 
 high schools and colleges. 
 
 Educational leaders in North Carolina colleges are dedicated, 
 among other things, to the noble idea that every high school 
 graduate in our State who is qualified to do so should have a 
 chance to attend college. Our colleges and universities, aware 
 of the implications of this high purpose, are accepting the chal- 
 lenge to provide to the best of their ability, educational opportuni- 
 ties for these young people. In return for their efforts, the col- 
 leges and universities are asking that the graduates of our high 
 schools seek honestly to make the most of the opportunities 
 available to them. 
 
 With all the careful planning which is being done and in view 
 of the increasing number wanting to enter college, prospective 
 college students should expect admissions requirements to be- 
 come more selective and academic standards to be raised sub- 
 stantially. These impending trends place additional responsibili- 
 ties upon each high school student to choose his college and plan 
 and pursue his high school studies with the greatest possible care. 
 It is with these considerations in mind that this booklet has been 
 prepared. 
 
 I express appreciation to the Committee for the North Carolina 
 College Conference which originated and prepared the manu- 
 script for this publication and to members of the staff of the 
 Department of Public Instruction for their cooperation in helping 
 make this guide possible.

PREFACE 
 
 This publication has been prepared for the use of high school 
 students whose qualifications should lead them to seek admission 
 to college. An effort has been made to give the prospective 
 college student information which will: (1) encourage him to 
 look forward to a college or university education, if he has the 
 necessary qualifications; (2) help him to make a careful select- 
 ion of the college he should attend ; and (3) explain how he may 
 plan his college program after he has enrolled. In other words, 
 boys and girls considering the extension of their formal education 
 beyond high school will find in this booklet discussion of every 
 major problem involved in choosing a college, getting the money 
 to attend, and planning their studies while there. 
 
 It will be noticed that there are two sections in this booklet. 
 One of these contains four chapters on the main problems facing 
 youth as they think about going to college; while another part 
 lists the colleges of North Carolina and gives a great deal of 
 important factual information about each one of them. Included 
 in the first section is a Bibliography that gives a list of other 
 books and pamphlets which may be very helpful as one attempts 
 to make up his mind about college. Some of the references may be 
 used as additional sources of information about colleges and uni- 
 versities located in all parts of the United States. Many of these 
 special materials will be in the school library. 
 
 This publication is written mainly for the high school student 
 who is thinking about going to college. An effort has been made 
 to anticipate as many questions as possible and to give the facts 
 needed to answer them. However, some boys and girls may wish 
 to discuss certain items with their parents and with other adult 
 advisers whose opinions they would like to have. 
 
 During the final year in high school, the student may wish 
 to talk with his teachers about organizing a regular discussion 
 group to study the material in this bulletin more thoroughly. 
 Six to eight regular meetings might be scheduled for this group 
 which would be composed of those who are interested in trying 
 to learn more about going to college. A "Study Guide," Choosing 
 A College, has been prepared for use in such groups. This guide, 
 found on page 104, lists several topics which might be con- 
 sidered and tells how they may be used most effectively in such 
 meetings.

Finally, it wil be noted that the discusions in Section I are 
 for the boys and girls who are directly concerned with the prob- 
 lem of choosing a college and planning a college career. The dis- 
 couraging fact is that far too many young people in North Caro- 
 lina who are excellent college prospects never continue their 
 education beyond high school. Therefore, in addition to helping 
 those who are already making definite plans to enter college, it 
 is hoped that this booklet will encourage other high school 
 students to think serously about going to college.

 HOW TO CHOOSE A COLLEGE 
 INTRODUCTION 
 
 Choosing a college or university to attend can be a highly- 
 interesting and very rewarding activity. Although the process 
 may seem rather complicated and difficult at first, it is not 
 necessarily so and the potential applicant should not be dis- 
 couraged at all by the prospect. Instead, he should look forward 
 to it with pleasure and realize that it will provide him numerous 
 opportunities for learning new things and discussing new ideas. 
 
 As stated in the preface, this publication is designed primarily 
 to help the high school student who is faced with the problem 
 of choosing a college. He is urged to use it carefully and to keep 
 in mind constantly that selecting the right college is one of 
 the most important descisions he will ever make. 
 
 STEPS IN THE SELECTION OF A COLLEGE 
 Planning Stage 
 
 The selection of a college should be a well-planned and syste- 
 matic process, based on a complete set of facts organized very 
 carefully to cover all the important points. Interested high school 
 students should get as much information as possible about col- 
 leges in general, so that they will know what questions to ask and 
 what facts to collect later about the schools they are considering. 
 Persons who have attended college and those who are thinking 
 about doing so will often be able to make many helpful suggest- 
 ion at this stage of the process. School counselors and class 
 advisers should by all means be consulted for ideas about what 
 to look for in choosing a college. A careful effort should be made 
 to build up a wealth of background information about colleges 
 and universities in general, so that wise decisions and accurate 
 judgments can be made later on the basis of the facts which 
 have been collected. In other words, the student should learn 
 to talk intelligently about college. 
 
 Within broad limits, the individual who is thinking about going 
 to college should also give some thought to his life work and to 
 the kind of college which will give him the best preparation for 
 that prospective vocation. This is an especially desirable thing 
 
to do if highly specialized fields of work such as engineering, 
 medicine, and music are being considered; for, in such areas, 
 a person must begin special study very early in his college pro- 
 gram. If uncertainty about one's life work is a problem which 
 stands in the way of effective planning for college, guidance 
 counselors and teachers should be consulted at once. 
 
 College choices and plans may be made, however, even when 
 vocational decisions are still uncertain. Most young people take 
 a long time to make up their minds about their life work and 
 many of them wait until well along toward college graduation 
 before doing so. Some individuals find it wise to defer this im- 
 portant decision longer and even to make important changes in 
 their plans from time to time after they have completed college. 
 
 Although vocational plans should be made as soon as possible, 
 persons who happen to be faced with the problem of selecting 
 a college before they have chosen their life work should not be 
 too discouraged. Instead, they should consider attending a school 
 which will offer them an opportunity to get a strong foundation 
 in the basic academic fields — English, mathematics, social stu- 
 dies, and languages — which are important background courses 
 for a variety of vocational areas. Later, if they decide to transfer 
 to another college for highly specialized training, most of the 
 credits earned in the basic subjects will probably be accepted for 
 graduation from the second institution. 
 
 The activities suggested for this early planning stage should 
 give the prospective college student a better understanding of 
 what higher education is like and of what he should expect to 
 gain from such advanced study. Many questions should be raised 
 in his mind, questions such as : 
 
 1. What colleges and universities in North Carolina offer 
 the kinds of courses he wants to study? 
 
 2. What are the entrance requirements for those colleges 
 and universities ? 
 
 3. How does one get information about specific schools? 
 
 4. How does one make application for admission to college 
 and how soon should this be done? 
 
 5. How much does a college education cost ? And what sources 
 of financial help are available to students who cannot pay all 
 of those costs? 
 
 8 
 
6. How does one arrange to visit a college and what should 
 he look for when he gets there? 
 
 With these and many other questions in mind, the interested 
 student has built the foundation and opened the way for a 
 much more detailed study of the problem of selecting a college. 
 He is now ready to move on to the next phase of his planning, 
 the phase in which he will seek to learn the answers to his many 
 questions and collect the facts which will help him choose his 
 college wisely. 
 
 Fact-Finding Stage 
 
 This is the second step in choosing a college; and, as the 
 above heading indicates, is the stage at which all the important 
 facts are collected about colleges which appear to be good po- 
 tential choices. The following steps may help the high school 
 student work systematically and carefully in gathering his in- 
 formation at this point. 
 
 First, the prospective applicant should make a list of the col- 
 leges which interest him and should discuss this list with his 
 parents, teachers, counselors, and friends, to see what they 
 think of the selections. After doing this, he should mark off his 
 list the names of the schools about which he has changed his 
 mind and which no longer appeal to him. 
 
 Next, the student should prepare a summary which contains 
 all the important facts about each of the colleges remaining on 
 his list. In doing this, he will find it a very helpful practice to 
 list all the information about a given college on one or two pages. 
 A suggested College Summary Form may be found on page 107 
 of this booklet. Other copies of the form may be made as the 
 need for them arises. 
 
 Finally the interested individual should study carefully and 
 understand fully the College Summary Form which has been 
 prepared for each of the schools on his list. The following guides 
 will be very helpful in this work and will enable the student to 
 add many important details to his summary about each college:

 cation, Washington, D. C. 
 
 CoUege Blue Book, C. E. Burkel (Editor), P. 0. Box 311,

 leges, Washington, D. C.

 gram, and the Sun. New York, N. Y. 
 
 These sources should be available in the school or public li- 
 brary. Also, Section II of this booklet contains a great deal of 
 valuable information about the colleges in North Carolina. 
 
 The interested high school student will also find college and 
 university publications, especially catalogs, valuable sources of 
 information for the summary sheet. If the school library does 
 not have copies of the latest catalogs of the colleges on his list, 
 personal copies may be obtained by writing to the Director of 
 Admissions of the school concerned. The addresses of the various 
 institutions may be found in the sources listed in Section II of 
 this pamphlet. 
 
 Discussion and Visitation Stage 
 
 When the facts have been assembled, they should be used in 
 talking with as many people as possible about the schools be- 
 ing considered. College graduates in the community, teachers, 
 counselors, parents, and students already in college should be 
 consulted if possible. On the basis of the additional findings 
 from this activity, the list of schools may be reduced still further 
 and the remaining ones arranged in order of preference for still 
 further study. 
 
 A visit to the campus of each school on the final list would be 
 a very helpful experience if it could be arranged. The prospective 
 applicant should take a look at the grounds, physical facilities, 
 classrooms, and library. Members of the student body should be 
 contacted to see what they think about their school and their 
 professors. The visiting prospect may even wish to meet one or 
 more college faculty members, especially those in the depart- 
 ments in which he thinks he might like to take most of his 
 courses. Likewise, the administrative officer who handles admis- 
 sions should be consulted about admission policies and practices. 
 
 10 
 
Application Stage 
 
 Application for admission should be made nine to twelve 
 months ahead of the opening date of the semester one plans to 
 begin his college work. Because of the highly competitive nature 
 of student selection in many colleges and because of the pos- 
 sibility that it will become even more competitive, the high 
 school student should consider the advisability of applying to 
 several schools at the same time. 
 
 All application blanks should be completed accurately and 
 neatly. Personal notes should be made of additional documents, 
 such as transcripts of high school grades, letters of recommenda- 
 tion, and medical reports which must be obtained for the admis- 
 sions officers. These materials should be sent to the proper col- 
 lege official precisely as directed and further correspondence 
 answered with the least possible delay. Neatness, promptness, 
 and accuracy are very important. 
 
 Selection Stage 
 
 Should an individual be so fortunate as to be accepted by more 
 than one college, he should weigh carefully all the information 
 he has collected about each of them. He should make his select- 
 ion as soon as possible and should notify the colleges that have 
 accepted him of his final decision about each of them. Special 
 emphasis is placed upon the fact that he should inform each 
 institution which has admiitted him as to his intentions regard- 
 ing it, declining with thanks those he does not wish to accept.

CHAPTER II 
 
 SOME INFORMATION ABOUT 
 COLLEGE ADMISSION 
 
 INTRODUCTION 
 
 Making application for admission to college is a relatively- 
 simple procedure which has already been described in the pre- 
 ceding chapter. However, if the high school student wishes to 
 gain an understanding of just what happens when he applies, 
 there are other important things which he will wish to know 
 about college admission policies and practices. This chapter will 
 give him additional information which will help him develop that 
 understanding. 
 
 HOW THE APPLICATION IS PROCESSED 
 
 When the interested student has completed his application 
 blanks carefully and has mailed them to the Director of Admis- 
 sions, or to some other person to whom he might have been in- 
 structed to send them, most of his work in choosing a college 
 has been finished and the decision is in the hands of someone 
 else. In this connection, he should realize that it is highly de- 
 sirable for him to complete his application forms as soon as pos- 
 sible after the beginning of his last year in high school. 
 
 After an individual has spent so much time and effort select- 
 ing the best college for his particular qualifications and object- 
 ives, he may justifiably wonder exactly what is to be done with 
 all the information he has so carefully supplied. Soon after 
 his papers are received in the office of the Director of Admis- 
 sions, they will be thoroughly checked for completeness and ac- 
 curacy ; and if he has failed to include any of the required infor- 
 mation, he will be asked to furnish it as soon as possible. When 
 filling out his application papers, he should keep in mind that 
 unnecessary and unfortunate delay may be avoided if he is care- 
 ful to follow all instructions precisely. 
 
 One should not be impatient if he fails to receive a notice of 
 his acceptance or rejection immediately. Selecting the persons 
 who will compose its student body is one of the most important 
 responsibilities of any college and one which requires a great 
 
 12 
 
deal of careful study for each individual case. In some instances 
 all applications will be held until a pre-determined date at which 
 time the final choices will be made and each applicant informed 
 of his acceptance or rejection. However, under other circum- 
 stances, such decisions will be made gradually and each indivi- 
 dual will be notified of his own case as soon as possible. If the 
 "cut-off-date" procedure is used, the applicant may expect to 
 be told of that fact and informed exactly when it is. 
 
 FACTORS AFFECTING ACCEPTANCE OR REJECTION 
 
 General Statement 
 
 Many factors are weighed carefully by the college which is 
 deciding whether or not to accept an applicant. One of the most 
 important of these is the probability that a prospective student 
 will be able to make normal progress in his academic program at 
 the college level. All schools are concerned about whether an 
 individual may be expected to graduate within a reasonable 
 length of time. Therefore, academic background and general 
 mental ability are of major concern to those who must make 
 the final decision either to admit or not to admit an applicant. 
 
 Other important qualifications may also carry a great deal 
 of weight in the final decision about one's acceptance. Such 
 personal qualities as emotional stability, cooperative attitudes, 
 desire to attend college, habits of work and study, as well as 
 many others, may be given serious attention. The kinds of quest- 
 ions asked on the application blank will often indicate how much 
 importance is given by a college to factors of this nature. Evi- 
 dence of leadership ability, athletic skill, and other special apti- 
 tudes of a non-academic sort, frequently receive special attention 
 when the appHcation is under consideration. One should be sure 
 to mention such outstanding qualifications in his apphcation 
 papers. However, it is rarely either necessary or in good taste 
 to emphasize them too much. 
 
 High School Record 
 
 The high school transcript will provide the college admissions 
 officer with two important kinds of information about the appli- 
 cant: (1) the quantity of work accomplished, and (2) the quality 
 of that work as indicated by grades which have been received 
 in the subjects studied. Both of these are extremely important 
 factors which should be kept in mind constantly throughout 
 high school. 
 
 13 
 
In regard to quantity, the number and nature of the "required 
 units" should be carefully checked for each college in which a 
 student is interested, since there is a great deal of difference 
 between schools in this respect, especially with regard to units 
 in mathematics and foreign languages These requirements should 
 be learned as soon as possible after a student enters high school 
 so that they may be met without difficulty. 
 
 Quality of high school preparation is becoming an increasingly 
 important consideration for admission to college. In fact, one of 
 the most desirable things the interested student can do in his 
 pre-college years is to build up a good foundation in all academic 
 subjects and to make as high grades as possible while doing so. 
 To say that one could have made better grades if he had worked 
 is no compliment, and rarely makes a favorable impression on 
 a Director of Admissions. 
 
 There is another very important part of the high school re- 
 cord which must be presented to the college of one's choice and 
 which the average student may not realize is a part of his ap- 
 plication. That is the personal recommendation of his principal 
 or of some teacher who knows him unusually well. Most colleges 
 request a specific statement from some qualified person in the 
 high school who is able to evaluate the general aptitude of an 
 applicant for college work. This may include comments concern- 
 ing academic strong and weak points, work habits, and interest 
 in good scholarship. Information may also be requested regard- 
 ing such personal characteristics as character, cooperativeness, 
 social attitudes, and other personality traits. 
 
 Entrance Examinations 
 
 Increasing use is now being made of various kinds of college 
 entrance tests for the selection of students. Although they may 
 differ widely, such examinations in North Carolina may be clas- 
 sified according to the following three categories: (1) psycho- 
 logical tests administered under the direct supervision of the col- 
 lege or university to which application is being made; (2) tests 
 administered by the College Entrance Examination Board; and 
 (3) the special testing program for North Carolina high school 
 seniors under the direction of the University Testing Service 
 at Chapel Hill. Each of these types of examinations may include 
 either mental ability tests or subject-matter tests, or both. Al- 
 though the results obtained from such measures are important 
 
 14 
 
indicators of academic promise, they will generally be used along 
 with other kinds of information presented in the application 
 forms. No Director of Admissions for a college will select or 
 reject prospective students on the basis of test scores alone. 
 
 Details about these and other entrance examinations may be 
 obtained by writing to the appropriate official at the college or 
 university to which application is being made. This person will 
 usually be called the Director of Admissions. The addresses of 
 the colleges in North Carolina may be found in the material 
 given in Section II of this booklet. 
 
 College Entrance Examination Board Tests 
 
 A special section of this chapter is being devoted to the Col- 
 lege Entrance Examination Board tests because of the current 
 wide-spread lack of understanding about them among high school 
 student and their parents. Further inquiries should be sent to 
 the admission officer of the college to which application is 
 being made, or to the following address: 
 
 College Entrance Examination Board, Educational Testing Ser- 
 vice, P. 0. Box 529, Princeton, New Jersey 
 
 With the exception of the English Composition Test, which 
 may include questions of both the objective and essay types, 
 all of the College Entrance Examination Board tests are of the 
 objective variety and utilize the multiple-choice technique. These 
 examinations are administered in two sessions, each approxi- 
 mately three and one-half hours in length. 
 
 During the morning period, two mental tests are given in the 
 three-hour examination period. As explained by the College 
 Board Bulletin of Information, one of these is a Verbal Section 
 designed to measure the applicant's "ability to read with under- 
 standing and discrimination, his comprehension of words, and 
 his skill in dealing with words and thought relationships." The 
 Mathematics Section attempts to measure aptitude for handling 
 quantitative concepts rather than knowledge about the field of 
 mathematics. This test is intended to identify the students who 
 can "apply basic knowledge in reasoning out solutions to new 
 problems rather than to those who have done nothing more than 
 memorize formulas and processes." 
 
 15 
 
An afternoon program is designed to permit the applicant to 
 take a maximum of three one-hours tests from the following 
 fields : 
 
 English Composition 
 Science 
 
 Chemistry- 
 Biology 
 Mathematics 
 
 Intermediate 
 
 Advanced 
 Social Studies 
 Foreign Language 
 
 French Reading 
 
 German Reading 
 
 Spanish Reading 
 
 Italian Reading *" 
 
 Latin Reading 
 
 Greek Reading 
 Spatial Reasoning 
 Pre-Engineering Science 
 
 Since other such tests may be added from time to time, the 
 applicant should make a careful check regarding the ones which 
 may be required by the college to which he is seeking admission. 
 
 The College Entrance Examination Board tests are admini- 
 stered from one to four times annually at selected centers all 
 over the world. In addition to those centers which are already 
 set up, a special center will be established for any applicant who 
 has to travel more than seventy-five miles to reach a regular 
 testing center. Requests for a special center should be sent di- 
 rectly to the College Entrance Examination Board, at the address 
 given above. 
 
 Centers were established in the following cities in North Caro- 
 lina for the 1956-57 school year: Asheville, Charlotte, Durham, 
 Elizabeth City, Fayetteville, Goldsboro, Greensboro, Hickory, 
 Jacksonville, New Bern, North Wilkesboro, Raleigh, Rocky 
 Mount, Statesville, Wilmington, Windsor, and Winston-Salem. 
 These centers may be changed from time to time and only part 
 of them administer examinations on all four of the testing 
 dates each year. A current list of dates and centers may be ob- 
 
 16 
 
tained at any time by writing to the College Entrance Exami- 
 nation Board. 
 
 The costs of the tests must be paid by the applicant, and may 
 vary according to the number of examinations taken. The fol- 
 lowing list of fees will give an idea of the expense of the actual 
 testing, exclusive of travel and other incidental costs, as of the 
 date of the publication of this booklet : 
 
 Basic Fees : 
 
 Morning Program and Afternoon Program on the same day 
 (Scholastic Aptitude Test and one, two, or three afternoon 
 
 tests) $12.00 
 
 Morning Program (Scholastic Aptitude Test) only 6.00 
 
 Afternoon Program (one, two, or three tests) only 8.00 
 
 Special Service Fees : 
 
 Late registration 3.00 
 
 Late change in program 3.00 
 
 Late change in center 3.00 
 
 Sunday administration 3.00 
 
 Reporting Fees : 
 
 First one, two, or three reports No Charge 
 
 Additional reports: each one, two, or three $ 1.00 
 
 When application is made for these examinations, the College 
 Entrance Examination Board will give detailed information about 
 them. This explanation will cover such things as the latest 
 schedule of fees, instructions about where and when to report 
 for the tests, and samples of each type of test to be taken. 
 
 University of North Carolina Testing Program 
 
 The University of North Carolina Testing Program is a rela- 
 tively new development which presently applies to all applicants 
 who wish to be admitted to the freshman class in September, 
 1957, and thereafter. This battery of special entrance exami- 
 nations is being required by the Board of Trustees of the Uni- 
 versity of North Carolina for all freshmen entering any unit of 
 the University on or after the above date and the results will 
 be used as one of several admissions criteria. 
 
 There is no charge for the University of North Carolina tests. 
 
 They are administered under the direction of the University 
 
 17 
 
Testing Service at Chapel Hill and any high school senior in 
 North Carolina who wishes to do so may take them, whether 
 he plans to enter one of the branches of the State University 
 or not. 
 
 For further information about the nature of the above tests, 
 or the dates, places, and hours of their administration, the stu- 
 dent should either contact his high school principal or write 
 directly to: The University Testing Service, P. 0. Box 998, 
 Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

CHAPTER III 
 FINANCING A COLLEGE EDUCATION 
 
 INTRODUCTION 
 
 Many very intelligent young people who finish the high schools 
 of North Carolina each year do not even consider going to college 
 because they do not think they have the money to pay the cost 
 of a higher education. This is an erroneous idea in a large number 
 of cases; for, if such individuals have the mental ability and 
 academic background to do acceptable college work, there are 
 many ways for them to meet the financial obligations involved. 
 
 In this connection, the fact should always be kept in mind that 
 a college education is an investment in one's future. Because it 
 is such an important investment, it is well worth the time and 
 money involved. The problem of financing education beyond 
 the high school level is primarily the responsibility of the 
 individual and his parents or guardian. However, should anyone 
 not have enough money to pay the required college fees, there 
 are many sources from which he may seek help. The main 
 purpose of this chapter is to explain how to determine the cost 
 of attending college and how to meet that cost once it has been 
 established with reasonable accuracy. 
 
 HOW TO DETERMINE THE COST OF A 
 COLLEGE EDUCATION 
 
 There are two types of college expenses which must be met 
 regularly and which should be kept in mind as an individual 
 works out his estimated budget. One of these includes the fees 
 he must pay directly to the college, and the other involves the 
 "personal" expenses for such things as clothes, recreation, and 
 travel. Both of these may be computed in a manner which will 
 be explained in a later section of this chapter. Although the 
 personal expenses will obviously be much harder to determine 
 than college fees, one should nevertheless be sure to include them 
 in his budget and should be as accurate as possible in his esti- 
 mates of them. 
 
 Getting the Facts on College Fees 
 
 With just a little careful work, an individual will be able to 
 determine the fees for the school of his choice with a high degree 
 
 19 
 
of accuracy. Although he may wish to do some long-range plan- 
 ning on the total cost of a college education, he should be very 
 careful to make a special study of the fees for the first year. 
 A general idea of this type of expense may be obtained from 
 Section II of this booklet which lists the estimated cost for each 
 college and university in North Carolina. Additional information 
 of this sort may be found in the catalogs of the schools and in the 
 sources listed on pages 33-103 of this booklet. When the number 
 of possible choices has been cut down considerably, however, one 
 should next prepare an itemized summary of the costs for each 
 of the schools remaining on that "final" list. For this detailed 
 information, the best sources are the most recent catalogs of 
 the colleges and universities involved. These should be studied 
 with care and a special effort made to understand the cost figures 
 thoroughly in each case. 
 
 The interested student will notice right away that schools 
 differ in the way they present financial information; therefore, 
 he must analyze the cost statements for each college carefully 
 and be sure that he understands exactly what is included in 
 each. This type of study actually gets to be very interesting and 
 one should not become discouraged because it seems rather com- 
 plicated at first. Instead, a special effort should be made to learn 
 exactly what each college proposes to charge for the first year 
 and to understand those charges thoroughly. 
 
 Most college catalogs will present estimates of "Approximate 
 Annual Expenses." These will include such things as tuition, 
 room rent and service, student activities fees, laundry and dry 
 cleaning, books, and meals. Some of the schools will combine 
 several of the preceding fees into one and this combination will 
 vary from one college to another. A student should not let that 
 practice confuse and discourage him; rather, he should look 
 for certain "key" costs and add the "minor" ones after the 
 major items have been listed. 
 
 Tuition will usually be one of the larger fees. This is a charge 
 which pays for part of such instructional costs as the salaries 
 of professors and administrators, teaching facilities and equip- 
 ment, and books. Considerable variation will be found among 
 schools with regard to this expense. Another standard item to 
 be considered will be board and room. Some catalogs will combine 
 these two costs into a single figure and others will list them 
 separately. Care should be taken that neither of these practices 
 
 20 
 
causes one to make a mistake in the analysis of the probable 
 cost for attending a certain school. Finally, an individual should 
 study the listings of other fees in the catalogs of the colleges 
 he is considering and be sure that he knows exactly what these 
 fees include in each case. 
 
 Getting the Facts on Personal Expenses 
 
 The student may find the determination of personal expense 
 items rather difficult and should expect to revise his estimates 
 several times, even after enrollment in college. However, it is 
 very important to keep these costs in mind at all times and to 
 make as accurate an allowance for them as possible. There are 
 several things which he may do to guide his thinking at this 
 point. 
 
 In the first place, he may work out an estimate of his personal 
 expenses during his last year in high school for such things as 
 clothes, recreation, and social life. Then he may talk with adult 
 counselors and college friends to learn what added expenses he 
 may logically expect to have on these and similar items in 
 college — such things as clothing, travel to and from home several 
 times a year, as well as the possible need for special dues to 
 social and other organizations. Remember that, as a college stu- 
 dent, an individual will be expected to budget his expenses over 
 a long period of time rather than to ask parents or some other 
 adult for each major item of personal expenditure as it arises. 
 In other words, an effort should be made to plan a realistic 
 budget within which he will be able to operate successfully. 
 
 SOURCES OF FINANCIAL AID FOR COLLEGE 
 
 Through his own efforts and those of his parents or guardian, 
 a student should attempt to pay as much of the cost of his higher 
 education as possible. By doing that, he will make it possible 
 for colleges to use their limited funds to aid students who happen 
 to be less fortunate in so far as financial resources are concerned. 
 On the other hand, if he finds that he may not be able to attend 
 college because he does not have enough money to pay his ex- 
 penses, there are many kinds of financial help which he should 
 feel free to seek. 
 
 Colleges differ in the specific names given to various types of 
 financial aid, but this fact should not be too confusing if one is 
 careful to understand both the meanings of the terms used in 
 
 21 
 
each case and the conditions under which a given type of help 
 may be made available. Generally speaking, there are four ways 
 in which individuals may be given financial assistance toward 
 the expenses of a college education : (1) scholarships, (2) grants- 
 in-aid, (3) self-help, and (4) loan funds. A prospective student 
 must ordinarily apply and be accepted for admission to a college 
 before he can be considered for any of these forms of help. 
 
 Scholarships 
 
 Scholarships are outright gifts which the recipient is not ex- 
 pected to repay and which vary in size according to the purpose 
 of the award and the financial needs of the applicant. When an 
 individual investigates this type of assistance, he will find that 
 some scholarships are awarded on the basis of outstanding ability 
 and unusual promise as a student; others entirely on the basis 
 of need ; and still others on the basis of a combination of these 
 two criteria. People in general are not in agreement about the 
 ethical problem of accepting scholarship aid, whether for ath- 
 letic or intellectual prowess, when such aid is not needed. There 
 seems to be a growing body of public opinion, however, which 
 is definitely against giving money for a college education to 
 people who do not need it and who are able to pay their own way 
 without difficulty. 
 
 Special attention is called to the fact that the number of schol- 
 arships being made available to high school students by various 
 organizations is increasing rapidly from year to year. The Nation- 
 al Merit Scholarship Program, and other similar opportunities 
 offer a wide variety of possible sources of financial aid. Teachers 
 and counselors will be able to help a great deal in efforts to 
 obtain information about these awards. 
 
 For the first time, in October, 1956, a new examination called 
 ''Scholarship Qualifying Test" was administered under the di- 
 rection of the Educational Testing Service in high schools all over 
 the United States. The National Merit Scholarship Program, as 
 well as many others, require this test as the first step in quali- 
 fying for an award. Each prospective applicant for a scholarship 
 should be sure to take this examination and to contact his coun- 
 selor or teacher immediately for more details about it. 
 
 On March 3, 1956, Superintendent Charles F. Carroll, of the 
 North Carolina Department of Public Instruction, issued a pam- 
 phlet. Publication Number 308, Scholarships, Loan Funds, Work 
 
 22 
 
Opportunities at North Carolina Colleges and Universities. Copies 
 of this booklet should already be available in each high school 
 in this State and the interested student should ask his principal, 
 counselor, or librarian about it. The above pamphlet contains an 
 unusually valuable summary of information concerning the types 
 of financial help available through the colleges of North Carolina. 
 
 Institutions of higher education are constantly adding to their 
 funds for this purpose and other new scholarship and loan op- 
 portunities are being initiated every year by religious, civic, 
 fraternal, and patriotic organizations, as well as by the schools 
 themselves. Emphasis is placed upon the fact that other sources 
 than those listed in various publications may be available to 
 persons who are interested enough to ask for information about 
 them from the colleges themselves. 
 
 No student should underestimate his chances for securing 
 scholarship aid. If he needs such help, he should find out all 
 he can about the sources which may be available to him and 
 apply for one or more of them. To be turned down on such a 
 request is certainly no disgrace, and he may have a much better 
 chance than he thinks of winning an award. Often, too, he may 
 find that colleges will offer him other types of financial help 
 when they are unable to award him a scholarship. 
 
 Grants-in-Aid 
 
 For students with normal academic ability for college work who 
 may not be able to secure a scholarship, schools usually have 
 funds which may be awarded in the form of a grant-in-aid and 
 which are not ordinarily repaid. Though not necessarily limited in 
 this manner, many colleges give special consideration for these 
 awards to the sons of ministers and missionaries, to candidates 
 for full-time religious work, and to students who encounter some 
 crisis which places an unexpected restriction on their financial 
 resources. 
 
 The amount of each grant-in-aid is determined on the basis of 
 a careful evaluation of the need of the individual student as 
 weighed against the total funds available for such awards. Many 
 colleges also set up special requirements which must be met if 
 one is to remain eligible for this type of grant. These are usually 
 expressed in the form of a specified academic average, good 
 character, and a satisfactory record of conduct. 
 
 23 
 
Self -Help 
 
 Many college students earn part of their expenses by some 
 form of work which is performed during periods of freedom from 
 their formal academic schedules. Opportunities for this self- 
 help are ordinarily available in the following two forms of 
 activity : 
 
 1. One may work for the college itself, performing such jobs 
 as checking attendance at assemblies, helping in the li- 
 brary, serving in the dining hall, selling tickets and con- 
 cessions at athletic events, working as clerks in the 
 administrative offices, and the like. 
 
 2. Sometimes students obtain jobs in the college or Uni- 
 versity community and surrounding towns. These may 
 take the form of working in a soda fountain, acting as a 
 salesman in local stores, delivering newspapers, working 
 in a filling station, helping in a bank, and so forth. 
 
 Although opportunities to obtain self-help jobs are much better 
 after a student has been in college for at least a year, many in- 
 dividuals with initiative, ability, and desire to work may sup- 
 plement their financial resources from the very beginning by 
 means of some form of self-help. Persons vith special skills 
 and work experiences will obviously find it much easier to locate 
 such job opportunities, a fact which one may wish to keep in 
 mind long before he actually graduates from high school. By 
 means of wise planning, an individual may learn skills and build 
 up work-experiences which later will be of real value in his 
 efforts to locate jobs to help pay his college expenses. 
 
 Schools often do not recommend that a student undertake out- 
 side work during the first year, because the adjustment from 
 high school to college is often very difficult. However, this is 
 a matter of personal choice and individual need. In general, these 
 jobs are not demanding enough to cause the student undue 
 academic difficulty if he has a good high school background. 
 There is also the possibility that the amount of time spent in 
 such work may be increased or decreased to fit the individual's 
 needs and abilities. 
 
 Loan Funds 
 
 This is perhaps the least-used type of student aid discussed 
 in this chapter, largely because Americans in general seem not 
 
to like the idea of "going into debt" for a college education. Such 
 a reaction, however, may simply be another expression of our 
 national attitude that all members of a democratic society should 
 have both the right and opportunity for a 'free' education. Ir- 
 respective of his attitude about obtaining this type of aid, an 
 individual should keep it in mind as a highly desirable method 
 of helping finance his college education. Investing in a college 
 education, as in a home or business, is usually a wise practice, 
 worthy of financing on a long-term basis. 
 
 Because funds for outright gifts are necessarily limited, many 
 students borrow money from revolving loan funds as a necessary 
 and honorable source of financial aid. Although many colleges 
 restrict the use of such funds to the members of the upper three 
 classes, loans may also be offered to freshmen in cases of ex- 
 ceptional merit and need. Most schools charge no interest on these 
 loans while a student is in college and a very low rate of interest 
 thereafter. And although repayment should ordinarily begin 
 immediately upon leaving college and getting employment, the 
 obligation can be postponed until the completion of graduate or 
 professional school. This is an excellent and relatively inex- 
 pensive way to spread the cost of a college education over a longer 
 period than four years. 
 
 Summary 
 
 An individual should feel free to seek advice from college 
 officials about the use of any of these methods of paying for 
 part of a higher education. On the basis of a thorough analysis 
 of the applicant's financial situation, preferably by means of 
 a personal conference, responsible persons at the college of one's 
 choice will try to determine to what extent and in what way to 
 help bridge the gap between an individual's resources and his 
 anticipated expenses. The catalog will indicate how to get in 
 touch with the member of the college staff who will be able 
 to give advice on such matters. 
 
 HOW TO PREPARE A TENTATIVE BUDGET FOR COLLEGE 
 
 Making out a budget of probable expenses is one of the most 
 important steps in planning a college career and should be given 
 very careful thought. A suggested College Summary Form, Pre- 
 sented on page 107 of this hand book, contains a section for such 
 a financial summary. 
 
 26 
 
Preparation of an estimated budget is obviously the final 
 step in the determination of the procedures for financing a col- 
 lege education. After an individual has completed his study of 
 college fees and personal expense items, he will be ready to 
 work out a tentative budget which will be the main guide in 
 his decisions about how to get the money to pay for his college 
 education. This analysis should obviously include at least two 
 things: (1) the carefully prepared estimates of costs, including 
 both college fees and personal expenditures, and (2) a listing 
 of possible sources of money to meet those expenses. 
 
 While working on his budget, the student should be sure to 
 keep in mind that the items on budget analysis in the College 
 Summary Form are merely "suggested" facts to be included in 
 the study. He should make whatever changes may be necessary 
 in order to adjust them to his own situation. He may find that 
 making an estimated budget for college expenses and financial 
 resources will be a little easier if he proceeds by means of the 
 following steps: 
 
 First, he should use the College Summary Form on Page 107 
 as a guide by filling in the budget section for each college on his 
 "final" list of prospective choices. A typed copy of this blank 
 may be made or one may make a very satisfactory copy by print- 
 ing the items himself or by using regular long-hand writing. The 
 student should leave out items which seem to be unnecessary 
 for his particular budget and add new ones which may be appro- 
 priate for individual needs. 
 
 Second, the student should use the most recent catalog of 
 each college on his list, and fill out the sections of the budget 
 analysis form which deal with college fees. Doing this part of 
 the study at approximately the same time for all schools will 
 make it easier for one to see the differences in the ways the 
 colleges list their costs. These variations may then be taken into 
 account when writing down budget items. 
 
 Third, an individual should fill out the section of the budget 
 dealing with personal expenses. In doing this, he should take 
 special notice of the personal expenses which will most likely 
 increase because he may be attending college away from home. 
 
 Fourth, an estimate of the total cost for the first year at 
 college should be made and this figure recorded in the appropri- 
 ate space on the budget analysis form. At this point, the student 
 
 26 
 
may wish to make a broader estimate of his probable expenses 
 for four years of college. However, he should realize that this 
 type of projection of the cost figures will greatly increase the 
 possibility that they may be inaccurate. Obviously such long- 
 range estimates should be used with many reservations in mind. 
 
 Fifth, the individual should talk with his parents or guardian 
 about the cost figure and secure an estimate on the financial help 
 he may expect to obtain from them. Also, he should include at 
 this point the amount of money he may logically expect to earn by 
 summer work before the college term begins. 
 
 Sixth, if the student finds that he cannot pay the full amount 
 of his college expenses, he should make a careful estimate of how 
 much additional money he will need from sources outside of his 
 family. This figure should be recorded in the proper blank on 
 the budget analysis form. 
 
 Seventh, the budget figures should be shown to one's parents 
 or guardian, the school counselor, and to any other person in 
 whose judgment he may have special confidence. These indivi- 
 duals should be asked to examine the estimates carefully and 
 to point out any inaccuracies. All changes which seem necessary 
 as a result of these special conferences should be made and the 
 "total" figures corrected accordingly. 
 
 CONCLUSION 
 
 When the prospective college applicant has finished his budget 
 analysis and thereby obtained a reasonably accurate idea about 
 the probable cost of his college education, particulary his first 
 year, he should put these papers in a safe place for later com- 
 parison with actual expenditures and for such corrections as 
 may become necessary as circumstances change. Although 
 changes may have to be made in the estimate from time to time, 
 one should expect to hold reasonably close to the anticipated 
 budget. 
 
 If an individual needs financial aid, he should not hesitate to 
 ask advice and help from the appropriate college official. He 
 should keep in mind, however, that paying for a college education 
 is primarily the responsibility of his parents, or guardian, and 
 himself. He and his family should first be prepared to do every- 
 thing possible to pay his expenses and to ask for college funds 
 only when his resources are inadequate to meet his needs. The 
 
 27 
 
late Dr. William Preston Few, a former President of Duke 
 University, spoke to this point when he said : 
 
 "A sound civilization cannot be built by a generation 
 that has had schooling without cost to themselves or 
 their parents, without any effort on their part, and 
 without any sense of obligation to repay the debt they 
 
 owe to society This is not the way to build a 
 
 great civilization, but the certain way to build a race of 
 half -educated, and sometimes half-respectable, panhand- 
 lers, who are not prepared to do honest work but rather 
 seek short cuts that lead to false success "

CHAPTER IV 
 THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM IN COLLEGE 
 
 INTRODUCTION 
 
 The average high school student has probably been told many 
 times that he will find a large number of interesting activities 
 in college, and he may even have been advised on several occa- 
 sions to participate in as many of them as possible. Such advice 
 in not necessarily bad, because college days should be happy and 
 challenging. However, one should always keep uppermost in his 
 thoughts the important idea that the main reason for going to 
 college is to train the mind. Because of that fact, careful atten- 
 tion should be given to planning an academic program that will 
 enable the individual to take full advantage of the opportunities 
 available at institutions of higher education. 
 
 General Comments 
 
 Most colleges have several sets of courses, each designed to 
 give a particular kind of training. The student should first read 
 the explanations of these "courses of study" in the catalog of 
 the college he has chosen and make sure that he understands 
 them fully. He will find considerable variation in the courses 
 required for the different types of academic and professional 
 training. He should be especially careful, therefore, to get a 
 complete understanding of the ones available in his particular 
 area of specialization. Should he happen to be one of those 
 persons who is undecided about his life work, he may choose 
 what is called a "general liberal arts" program of study for one 
 or two years until he makes up his mind about the area in which 
 he wants to do special work. In the event he follows this plan, 
 he will take introductory courses in several fields and try to 
 learn a great deal about a variety of subjects. This may even lead 
 to a decision to select a particular academic field which he has 
 come to like very much and in which he thinks he might like to 
 concentrate his study. 
 
 Required Courses 
 
 Colleges usually list certain courses or kinds of courses which 
 are required of all students who hope to graduate. The number 
 and nature of these will differ greatly from one school to another. 
 A student should learn what these "required courses" are and 
 plan to study them as soon as possible in his college program. 
 
 29 
 
Major and Minor Requirements 
 
 The prospective college student should get a thorough under- 
 standing of the meaning of "major" and ''minor" requirements. 
 When an individual "majors" in a given subject or a given area, 
 he simply takes more college courses in that field than in any 
 other; and he studies subjects which are more advanced than 
 ordinary "beginning" courses. The object of this procedure is 
 to provide the student a better quality and greater quantity 
 of learning experiences in a particular academic area. 
 
 Many times an individual will also be required to choose a 
 "minor" field of study. In that case, he will select a course or 
 group of related courses which he studies in a special way, but 
 not to the extent he does those in his "major" area. Stated dif- 
 ferently, a "minor" field simply requires more special study than 
 "regular' courses and less than "major" courses. In this connec- 
 tion the student should remember that the system of specialized 
 study may differ from one school to another. Therefore, he 
 should be sure that he understands the requirements for the 
 particular college he has chosen. A careful examination of the 
 appropriate section of the catalog will be of a real help in this 
 effort. 
 
 Semester Hours and Quality Points 
 
 Progress toward college graduation is usually measured 
 according to the two standards of semester hours and quality 
 points. The former is generally computed on the basis of the 
 number of class periods per week in a given course, with added 
 semester-hour credit for subjects which have more class meet- 
 ings or laboratory periods. Thus, a course in English which 
 meets three periods each week for one semester would give 
 three semester hours of credit for successful completion of the 
 required work. On the other hand, a course in biology which has 
 two or three class periods each week, plus several hours of re- 
 quired laboratory work, may carry four semester hours credit. 
 Most colleges specify a definite number of "semester hours" 
 which must be accumulated in order to graduate. For the major- 
 ity of the institutions in North Carolina, the number of such 
 required hours ranges from 120 to 128. The normal "load" per 
 semester is from fifteen to eighteen hours. 
 
 In addition to "semester hours," other standards will exist 
 which may require a certain level or quality of academic work. 
 
Rather than state this requirement as an "average" grade, most 
 schools express it in terms of "quality points" which are them- 
 selves related to academic grades. As a result of this practice, 
 one will find that the colleges and universities in North Carolina 
 usually set up a system of quality-point credits similar to the 
 following : 
 
 Semester Course Quality Points Per Total Quality 
 
 Hours Grade Semester Hour Points 
 
 3 A 3 9 
 
 3 B 2 6 
 
 3 C 1 3 
 
 3 D 
 
 3 F 
 
 In a limited number of schools one quality point per semester 
 hour is substracted from the total number of quality points for 
 a grade of "F" in a course. However, this practice is the exception 
 rather than the rule. 
 
 Requirements for graduation are usually expressed as a com- 
 bination of minimum number of semester hours and a minimum 
 number of quality points, such as: 124 semester hours and 124 
 quality points. In this connection, the student should keep in 
 mind that both of these minimum standards must be met. 
 
 Some colleges and universities follow a similar system based 
 upon "quarter hours" of credit- Since there are three quarters 
 and two semesters in each school year of nine months, the ratio 
 of three quarter hours for two semester hours generally holds; 
 and the same ratio likewise applies to quality-point credit. Thus 
 the student wil be required to earn one-third more quarter hours 
 than semester hours and quality points in the same proportion. 
 
 The student should keep in mind that the above explanations 
 are "examples" of graduation requirements. The hours and 
 quality points needed may be different from one school to 
 another.
