The level densities of {sup 44}Sc and {sup 47}Ti have been determined from measurements of particle evaporation spectra from the compound nuclear reaction {sup 3}He+{sup 45}Sc with an 11 MeV {sup 3}He beam. The level density of {sup 44}Sc has been compared to the level density obtained from an independent experimental method based on an analysis of {alpha}-{gamma} coincidences from the transfer reaction {sup 45}Sc({sup 3}He,{alpha}{gamma}){sup 44}Sc. The good agreement between the two experiments indicates the reliability of the level density obtained. Some level density systematics have been tested against the experimental data. New Fermi-gas level density parameters have been derived.
