Course Offerings

This bulletin lists course offerings for the academic year beginning with fall semester 2004. This listing is as accurate as possible when the bulletin is compiled. Students are advised, however, that all information regarding course offerings is subject to change, and it is recommended that students check the course schedules prior to each term. The University reserves the right to withdraw or modify any course or to change instructors.

Contact Hour. One 50-minute period containing class group activity under supervision.

Course Numbering System. Courses are identified by a 2 to 4 alpha character code indicating program or department, followed by a 3-digit numeric code indicating course level.

Writing Intensive "W" Designator. In a certain cases, the 3-digit number may be followed by the letter "W", which indicates that the course satisfies the General Education writing intensive category, whereas the other course with the same designator (and no "W") does not. Credit will not be given for two courses with the same designator, regardless of GE writing intensive satisfaction.

Course Level. Undergraduate courses are numbered 001-499, with 001-299 being lower division and 300-499 being upper division courses. Graduate courses are numbered 500-999 and are listed in the Graduate Bulletin.

Sections. Individual course sections differentiated in the course schedules, but are not indicated in this bulletin.

Number of Credits. The number of credits is listed in parentheses after the course number. If the course is offered for variable credits, e.g., (1-4), the student will need to work with an advisor to determine the appropriate number of credits for which a certain course should be taken, and should register for the course accordingly.

Prerequisites. In many cases, pre- and co-requisites are listed for courses. It is always the student's responsibility to register for the appropriate courses. Students should contact their academic advisor with questions about course registration.

General Education and Cultural Diversity Satisfaction. Courses approved as satisfying General Education or Cultural Diversity requirements are symbolized after the course description. For example, a course satisfying General Education Category 1c will be denoted as GE-1C, and a course satisfying the Core Requirement for Cultural Diversity will be denoted as CD-Core.
