GRADUATE ACADEMIC PROGRAMS
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:
1. Number of semester hour credits given for the course.
2. Number of lecture hours normally scheduled each week for one
semester in the course.
3. 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.
