- Abstract
The article analyzes high-school entrance credits in science and mathematics of students that they offered during their admission at South Dakota State College in 1942. The data used in the article consists of 378 students that include two hundred and fifty-five men and one hundred and twenty-three women. The schools are categorized as small, medium, and large due to the variation in their capacity to offer science and mathematics. It is found that in science, general science is offered by nine-tenths of these students as entrance credit. However, biology is offered by about two-thirds, and chemistry and physics by somewhat fewer than half of them. Men have offered physics more frequently than the women. Men high school students are reluctant to opt agriculture as a substitute for science in any degree.
