COURSE LISTINGS AND NUMBERING
For University courses, the following information is indicated:
Course number
Course title
Semester hour value of course
Number of clock hours required per week in course
Statement of prerequisites and/or other restrictions on enrollment
Term(s) Offered
Brief course description
Restriction of credit
When two courses are listed under a single title, a hyphen (-) between the
course numbers indicates that the first is prerequisite to the second. A comma
(,) between the course numbers indicates that the first is not prerequisite
to the second.
Courses are classified by numbers, which indicate the class level at which
they are most often taken. Class levels and number sequences are as follows:
Freshman Courses............................100-199
Sophomore Courses.........................200-299
Junior Courses..................................300-399
Senior Courses.................................400-499
Senior or Graduate Courses.............500-599
Graduate Courses............................600-799
With written departmental/school approval, seniors may take courses numbered
500-599 for either undergraduate or graduate credit. Designation of credit as
undergraduate or graduate must be made at registration. With written departmental/school
approval and with an overall grade point average of 3.0 or better, seniors may
take courses numbered 600-799 for graduate credit. All seniors taking
courses for graduate credit must submit a Graduate Application for Admission.
Some programs require formal admission before enrolling in any course numbered
600 or above. Work taken for graduate credit may not be used to meet
undergraduate requirements. Any senior permitted to enroll for graduate
credit will be classified as a non-degree student until the student has attained
regular admission to a graduate degree program. No more than 12 hours of graduate
work may be completed prior to the completion of baccalaureate degree requirements
and admission to the graduate program as a graduate degree student.
The figures enclosed in parentheses immediately following the title of a course
are, in order of appearance, indications of the following:
- Number of semester hour credits given for the course.
- Number of lecture hours normally scheduled each week for one semester in
the course.
- Number of laboratory hours normally scheduled each week for one semester
in the course.
If there is one figure only, there are as many class meeting hours per week
as there are semester hours credit for the course. A two-number sequence, such
as (3:4), means that the course carries three semester hours credit but meets
four class hours each week. A three-number sequence, such as (3:2-3), means
that the course carries three semester hours credit but meets two lecture hours
and three laboratory hours each week.
Terms Offered Key:
The University reserves the right to withdraw any course for insufficient enrollment.
In certain cases and with the approval of the Provost, classes may be offered
with fewer than the required number of students in order to meet specific needs.
