Five-year bachelor's degree curricula may be considered for adoption by any department, college or appropriate committee of the administration or faculty when the following conditions exist:

• The occupational requirements of any professional or vocational area indicate
  a depth and scope of educational experience which cannot be achieved by most students in a four-year degree program.
  
• The professional recognition or accreditation of a program depends on the
  existence of a five-year bachelor's degree program.
  
• The conditions with respect to competition from other institutions, other curricula, and the motivation of students to enter the program are such as to give a reasonable assurance of enough students to make the program feasible.
  
• There is reasonable assurance of having available sufficient staff and facilities
  to provide adequate courses for the five-year curriculum.
  
• The addition of new courses for the fifth year is a logical extension of an
  existing four-year program without duplication or proliferation.
  
• The occupational requirements cannot be equally well provided by a four-
  year bachelor's degree plus a one-year master's degree.
