Explanation of Arrangement

The title and Arabic number designate the particular course. When two course numbers are connected by a hyphen, the first semester of the course, or its equivalent, is a prerequisite to the second. If the course numbers are separated by a comma, qualified students may take the second semester without having had the first. Course numbers separated by a slash indicate same subject offerings at lower and upper levels.

In courses that are not designated by title as laboratory courses, the notation “Lab” indicates that laboratory sessions are a part of the course.

All courses marked with “#” have not been offered in the last three years.

Prerequisites and Corequisites

Each prerequisite for a course is separated from the other prerequisites by a semicolon; e.g., Prereq: EDUC 601; PSYC 635. If permission (of the instructor, department, adviser, or committee) is a prerequisite for all students, it is listed among the prerequisites (e.g., Prereq: EDUC 601; PSYC 635; permission). If, on the other hand, permission may be substituted for one or more of the listed prerequisites, it follows the other prerequisites and is separated from them by a slash mark (e.g., Prereq: EDUC 601; PSYC 635; or permission). If permission may be substituted for only one of the prerequisite courses, it is listed with the course for which it may be substituted (e.g., Prereq: EDUC 601 or permission; PSYC 635).

Corequisites are courses that must be taken in the same semester.

Credits

The number of credits listed is the number of semester credits each course number will count toward graduation (except in the case of variable credit courses). Students must register for the number of credits shown or, if the course is variable credit, within the range of credits shown.

“Cr/F” following the description indicates that no letter grade is given but that the course is graded Credit or Fail.

For up-to-date information about when a course is offered; who teaches the course; the number of recitations, lectures, labs, and such, students are referred to each semester’s Time and Room Schedule.

The system of numeric designation is as follows:

200–299 Courses in Thompson School of Applied Science.

300–399 Associate in arts /associate in science courses. Courses may be taken for credit only by associate’s degree or nondegree students. Credits may not be applied to baccalaureate degrees.

400–499 Introductory courses not carrying prerequisites and courses generally falling within University and college requirements.

500–599 Intermediate-level courses for undergraduate credit only.

600–699 Advanced-level undergraduate courses. Entrance to courses numbered 600 and above normally requires junior standing.

700–799 Advanced-level undergraduate courses. Ordinarily not open to freshmen and sophomores.

800–999 Courses that carry graduate credit only and therefore are open only to admitted or special graduate students.
